Investigation Of Percutaneous Drug Pharmacokinetics In Yucatan Mini-Pig Utilizing Microdialysis: Development Of An In Vitro - In Vivo Relationship With Metronidazole Topical Dermatological Drug Products, Benjamin Alexander Kuzma Jan 2020

Investigation Of Percutaneous Drug Pharmacokinetics In Yucatan Mini-Pig Utilizing Microdialysis: Development Of An In Vitro - In Vivo Relationship With Metronidazole Topical Dermatological Drug Products, Benjamin Alexander Kuzma

Selected Full-Text Dissertations 2020-

The use of dermal microdialysis (dMD) to evaluate bioavailability (BA) and bioequivalence (BE) of topical dermatological drug products (TDDP) has shown promising results; however, studies conducted thus far have been inconclusive conceivably due to large inter- and intra-subject variability, in addition to the inability of short experiments to completely characterize the dermis pharmacokinetics (PK). By using multiple test sites on the same subject, and replicate probes at each test site, it is feasible to compare the dermal pharmacokinetics (dPK) of a drug from different products in parallel on the same subject, which in turn will help to control variability. Moreover, …


Epigenetic Regulation Of Drug Metabolizing Enzymes In Normal Aging, Mohamad M. Kronfol Jan 2020

Epigenetic Regulation Of Drug Metabolizing Enzymes In Normal Aging, Mohamad M. Kronfol

Theses and Dissertations

Geriatric populations are at a higher risk for adverse drug reactions (ADRs). This may be partly due to changes in drug metabolism in old age, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Prior research in humans and mice has shown age-associated changes to the expression of several genes involved in drug metabolism. Furthermore, studies of human blood showed that epigenetic regulation of genes encoding drug metabolizing enzymes change with age. However, it is unknown if genes in the liver are similarly affected. Therefore, we hypothesize that genes encoding drug metabolizing enzymes may show differential epigenetic regulation in the liver with …
