  2. 1. On the Stereoselective Pharmacokinetics of Eflornithine and Prediction of Drug Tissue to Plasma Concentration Ratios

    Author : Rasmus Jansson Löfmark; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Human African trypanosomiasis; HAT; Pharmacokinetics; NONMEM; Stereoselectivity; Eflornithine; Tissue distribution;

    Abstract : Eflornithine is one of two registered drugs for the treatment of late-stage human African trypanosomiasis, a uniformly fatal neglected disease with sixty million people are at risk of being infected. Eflornithine is efficacious but the cumbersome intravenous administration leaves numerous patients untreated. READ MORE

  4. 2. Drug Analysis : Bioanalytical Method Development and Validation

    Author : Mikaela Malm; Yngve Bergqvist; Anders Colmsjö; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Analytical chemistry; African trypanosomiasis; calibration model; chiral chromatography; dried blood spots; eflornithine; evaporative light-scattering detection; HIV AIDS; lamivudine; liquid chromatography; malaria; nevirapine; piperaquine; pneumonia; solid-phase extraction; sulfadoxine; sulfamethoxazole; validation; zidovudine; Analytisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis describes bioanalytical methods for drug determination in biological matrixes, with drugs in focus used against diseases largely affecting low-income countries. Solid-phase extraction is used for sample cleanup, and processed samples are analyzed by liquid chromatography. READ MORE

  5. 3. Oral eflornithine treatment of late-stage human African trypanosomiasis

    Author : Mikael Boberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Sleeping Sickness; Neglected Tropical Diseases; Enantiomers; Nonlinear Mixed Effects Modeling; Pharmacokinetics; Pharmacodynamics;

    Abstract : Human African trypanosomiasis is a fatal disease unless treated. It is a parasitic vector borne disease endemic in sub-Saharan African countries. Eflornithine is a recommended treatment for gambiense human African trypanosomiasis (g-HAT) in the later disease stage when the parasites have infected the central nervous system. READ MORE

  6. 4. Development of analytical methods for determination of drugs, used against tropical diseases, in biological fluids

    Author : Mikaela Malm; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to develop analytical methods for determination of drugs, used against tropical diseases, in biological fluids. For the treatment of malaria, piperaquine (PQ) is used in combination with another antimalarial. READ MORE

  7. 5. Development and Validation of Bioanalytical Methods : Application to Melatonin and Selected Anti-Infective Drugs

    Author : Susanne Römsing; Yngve Bergqvist; Åsa Emmer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; african trypanosomiasis; melatonin; malaria; antiretroviral drugs; lumefantrine; tafenoquine; lamivudine; nevirapine; zidovudine; sampling paper; dried blood spots; capillary blood; antimalarial drugs; solid-phase extraction; liquid chromatography; Chemistry; Kemi; Analytical Chemistry; Analytisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis describes bioanalytical methods for measuring melatonin and some anti-infective drugs in biological fluids. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) or protein precipitation was used for enrichment and purification of the analytes and Liquid Chromatography (LC) was used to analyze the samples. READ MORE
