Previous studies have shown that the frequency of very important pharmacogenomic (VIP) genes varies in different populations which leads to the diversities in drug efficacy, safety, and the risk associated with adverse drug reactions (ADRs). The purpose of this study was to identify the distribution differences of VIP variants between the Li population and the other 13 populations. Based on the Pharmacogenomics Knowledgebase database (PhamGKB), we successfully genotyped 52 VIP variants within 27 genes in 200 unrelated Li population...

This study evaluates the therapeutic potentials of selected antihypertensive drugs [valsartan, amlodipine, lisinopril and their fixed-dose combinations (amlodipine + lisinopril) and (valsartan + lisinopril)] in ameliorating trastuzumab (TZM)‑induced cardiac dysfunctions in experimental rats. After an ethical clearance for the study was obtained, in-bred young adult female Wistar rats were randomly allotted into 10 groups of 6 rats per group. Group I rats were treated with 10 ml/kg/day sterile water p.o. and 1 ml/kg/day sterile water i...

A facile supercritical fluid chromatography method is proposed to analyse 15 co-formulated binary anti-hypertensive drug combinations using a customized elution procedure. The effect of mobile phase composition, column back pressure and temperature was suitably optimized for adequate retention, analyte response and resolution. The chromatographic separation of the different drug combinations was performed on a DCPak poly(4-vinylpyridine) column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) at 125-bar pressure and 40°C using a photodiode array detector...

OBJECTIVES: The authors aimed to quantify the extent to which the effect of antihypertensive drugs on incident heart failure (HF) is mediated by their effect on kidney function. BACKGROUND: The authors hypothesized that the dynamic change in kidney function is the mechanism behind differences in the rate of incident HF in ALLHAT (Antihypertensive and Lipid-Lowering Treatment to Prevent Heart Attack Trial) participants randomized to lisinopril and chlorthalidone, in comparison with those randomized to amlodipine and doxazosin...

This paper presents analytical results of cardiovascular drugs which were determined in exhumed liver and brain tissue in a total of 115 cases. Exhumations were executed after 9.5-16.5 years of burial. Analysis was performed by solid-phase-extraction and liquid chromatography-electrospray-mass spectrometry. Bisoprolol, verapamil and xipamide could be proven in all cases in which these were supposedly administered within a defined time frame. Amiodarone was detectable in over 90%, amlodipine in over 80% and cafedrine, clonidine, phenprocoumon as well as torsemide in over 50% of relevant cases...

Maintaining phosphorus balance in in-center hemodialysis (ICHD) patients is problematic despite recommended dietary restriction, dialysis, and phosphate binder use. Rarely is P content in prescribed medications considered, but this source should raise concern. Data was obtained from the Fresenius Kidney Care (FKC) electronic data warehouse Knowledge Center and MedReview-eRx accessed Surescripts, housing > 80% of US-filled prescriptions. Adult FKC ICHD patients prescribed ≥ 1 medication in the MedReview-eRx database were analyzed (695,759 prescriptions)...

Three-dimensional printing (3DP) is a revolutionary technology in pharmaceuticals, enabling the personalisation of flexible-dose drug products and 3D printed polypills (polyprintlets). A major barrier to entry of this technology is the lack of non-destructive quality control methods capable of verifying the dosage of multiple drugs in polyprintlets at the point of dispensing. In the present study, 3D printed films and cylindrical polyprintlets were loaded with flexible, therapeutic dosages of two distinct drugs (amlodipine and lisinopril) across concentration ranges of 1-5% w/w and 2-10% w/w, respectively...

OBJECTIVES: Gout is a common complication of blood pressure management and a frequently cited cause of medication nonadherence. Little trial evidence exists to inform antihypertensive selection with regard to gout risk. METHODS: The Antihypertensive and Lipid-Lowering Treatment to Prevent Heart Attack Trial (ALLHAT) was a randomized clinical trial on the effects of first-step hypertension therapy with amlodipine, chlorthalidone, or lisinopril on fatal coronary heart disease or nonfatal myocardial infarction (1994-2002)...

BACKGROUND: Medication use is highly prevalent with advanced age, but clinical studies are rarely conducted in the elderly, leading to limited knowledge regarding age-related pharmacokinetic changes. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate which pharmacokinetic parameters determine drug exposure changes in the elderly by conducting virtual clinical trials for ten drugs (midazolam, metoprolol, lisinopril, amlodipine, rivaroxaban, repaglinide, atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, clarithromycin and rifampicin) using our physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) framework...
