Dispositional antagonism occurs when one drug alters the pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, biotransformation, or excretion) of a second drug so that less of the active compound reaches the target tissue. Tor example, phenobarbital induces the biotransformation of warfarin, reducing its anticoagulant activity... 

Use of in vivo Tests. In vivo tests are more relevant indicators than are in vitro tests of immunotoxicity since the dynamic interactions between the various immuno-components, as well as the pertinent pharmacokinetic (absorption, distribution, plasma concentrations) and metabolic factors, are taken into consideration. However, it is important to select the appropriate animal model and to design the protocol such that it will accurately reflect drug (or relevant metabolite) exposure to humans. For example, one should consider species variability when selecting the animal model, since biological diversity may further obscure the ability to accurately predict human toxicity. 

The Phase I clinical trial is the first experiment in which a drug is tested on the human body. The primary aim of the trial is to assess the safety of the new drug. Other areas of study include pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) and pharmacodynamics. 

After a short introduction on physicochemistry, a number of chapters deal with pharmacokinetics, absorption, distribution, and clearance. MetaboHsm and toxicity are discussed in depth. In a further chapter species differences are compared and inter-species scaHng is introduced. The final chapter deals with high(er) throughput ADME shidies, the most recent trend to keep pace with similar paradigms in other areas of the industry, such as chemistry. 

Age-related alterations in pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) have received considerable attention. Thus, physiological changes in elderly patients, when taken together, may contribute to impairments in drug clearance in this segment of the population (Table 6.5). 

One of the factors that can alter the response to drugs is the concurrent administration of other drugs. There are several mechanisms by which drugs may interact, but most can be categorized as pharmacokinetic (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion), pharmacodynamic (additive or antagonistic effects), or combined interactions. The general principles of pharmacokinetics are discussed in Chapters 3 and 4 the general principles of pharmacodynamics in Chapter... 

The aims of this book are to highlight and summarize for medicinal and pharmaceutical chemists some important properties of phospholipid bilayers to explain, using examples, analytical tools for determining thermotropic and dynamic membrane properties and the possible effects of drugs on such membrane properties and, finally, to discuss examples of the importance of drag-membrane interactions for drug pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, accumulation) as well as drag efficacy, selectivity, and toxicity. 

The first section deals with physicochemical properties of compounds, which could influence their pharmacokinetic behavior tremendously. In particular, solubility and lipophilicity impact the penetration across membranes resulting in different pharmacokinetics. The next sections are focused on the four big pillars of pharmacokinetics absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion. Each of those is subdivided into specialized topics explaining more specific and more detailed aspects. Since many patients take some drugs simultaneously, drug-drug interactions is an important topic to be considered both under a pharmacokinetic and a toxicological point of view.

It is very important to know the bioavailability and biotransformation of tea catechins in humans because the pharmacokinetics, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of green tea determine its potential bioactivities in disease prevention in... 

A compound s action or effect within the body over a period of time is regulated by pharmacokinetics absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination, These processes differ across species and provide some insight into species variability following exposure to anti-ChEs, In addition to species-dependent effects, signs and symptoms of ChE inhibition by OPs or CMs depend on the compound, dose, route, frequency and duration of exposure, as well as the time of observation relative to the time of peak effect (Table 1). Therefore, it is difficult to compare species across studies in which any one of these factors is not consistent, and the reader must bear this in mind when reviewing the literature for species-related differences.
