Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo blood-brain barrier transport of oxycodone in the rat: indications for active influx and implications for pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics.

TL;DR: This is the first evidence of an opioid having an unbound steady-state concentration in brain that is higher than unity, which can explain potency discrepancies between oxycodone and other opioids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Population Pharmacokinetics of Rifampin in Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients, Including a Semimechanistic Model To Describe Variable Absorption

TL;DR: A strong correlation between clearance and volume of distribution suggested substantial variability in bioavailability, which could have clinical implications, given the dependence of treatment effectiveness on exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blood–Brain Barrier Transport Helps to Explain Discrepancies in In Vivo Potency between Oxycodone and Morphine

TL;DR: For centrally acting drugs such as opioids, pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic relations describing the interaction with the receptor are better obtained by correlating the effects to concentrations of unbound drug in the tissue of interest rather than to blood concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variability in the population pharmacokinetics of isoniazid in South African tuberculosis patients.

TL;DR: Simulations suggested that current treatment guidelines may be suboptimal in fast eliminators with low body weight, which may lead to underexposure in rapid isoniazid eliminators.
