Clinical pharmacokinetics and metabolism of irinotecan (CPT-11)

TL;DR: CPT-11 belongs to the class of topoisomerase I inhibitors, and it acts as a prodrug of SN-38, which is approximately 100-1000fold more cytotoxic than the parent drug as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacokinetic, Metabolic, and Pharmacodynamic Profiles in a Dose-Escalating Study of Irinotecan and Cisplatin

TL;DR: There was no apparent pharmacokinetic interaction between irinotecan and cisplatin in this study and linear pharmacokinetics comparable to that observed with single-agent administration suggests an absence of pharmacokinetically interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dextromethorphan As a Phenotyping Test to Predict Endoxifen Exposure in Patients on Tamoxifen Treatment

TL;DR: Dextromethorphan exposure after a single administration adequately predicted endoxifen exposure in individual patients with breast cancer taking tamoxifens, but it needs additional validation and simplification before being applicable in future dosing strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of Curcumin (with or without Piperine) on the Pharmacokinetics of Tamoxifen.

TL;DR: Co-treatment with curcumin could lower endoxifen concentrations below the threshold for efficacy (potentially 20–40% of the patients), especially in EM patients, because of the effects of CYP2D6 metabolism phenotype.
