Dinical

Mr. Garcia is receiving sulfisoxazole for a recurrent bladder infection. When keeping an outpatient dinic appointment, he tells you that he developed a fever and sore throat yesterday. Analyze the steps you would take to investigate his recent problem. Give a reason for your answers. 

Ms. Martin has been prescribed propranolol (Inderal) for hypertension. She arrives at the outpatient dinic and tellsyou that she is having episodes of dizziness and at times feels as if she is going to faint. Discuss how you would investigate this problem and what information you could give Ms. Martin that might help her. 

The process of conducting dinical trials for drug approval may be broken down into three consecutive phases of ... 

Information amendments are used to inform the FDA of new pharmacology or toxicology data, final non-dinical study reports, new chemistry-manufacturing-control information, or notice of the discontinuation of a clinical study. 

The CTD is organised into five modules. A schematic representation of the stmcture and hierarchy is shown in Figure 6.1. Module 1 is designed to contain region-specific information such as application forms and other administrative provisions that may apply. As such, it is not harmonised and is not considered part of the CTD. The other four modules present the technical data in a harmonised format. Module 2 should contain critical overview assessments of the quality, non-dinical and clinical data, together with summaries of the non-clinical and clinical data. The objective of this section is to provide reviewers with an introduction to the submission, and to orient... 

This module should contain data from all of the non-dinical studies conducted to investigate the pharmacological and toxicological properties of the dmg substance/ product. The standard headings used to present this information are shown in Figure 6.4. Study reports should be presented in the following order according to species and route of administration ... 

There are a number of other scenarios where medicinal products may be brought to market exempt from the requirement to submit applications supported by full pre-dinical and clinical data.

An interesting dinically useful prodrug is 5-fluorouracil, which is converted in vivo to 5-fluoro-2 -deoxyuridine 5 -monophosphate, a potent irreversible inactivator of thymidylate synthase It is sometimes charaderized as a dead end inactivator rather than a suicide substrate since no electrophile is unmasked during attempted catalytic turnover. Rathei since a fluorine atom replaces the proton found on the normal substrate enzyme-catalyzed deprotonation at the 5 -position of uracil cannot occur. The enzyme-inactivator covalent addud (analogous to the normal enzyme-substrate covalent intermediate) therefore cannot break down and has reached a dead end (R. R. Rando, Mechanism-Based Enzyme Inadivators , Pharm. Rev. 1984,36,111-142).
