  2. 1. Proteomics-informed analysis of drug disposition in the human liver and small intestine

    Author : Christine Wegler; Per Artursson; Pär Matsson; Tommy B Andersson; Manthena Varma; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; proteomics; protein concentration; drug disposition; drug transport; drug metabolism; human small intestine; human liver; human hepatocytes; human liver microsomes; inter-individual variability; drug clearance; obesity; prediction model; Farmaceutisk vetenskap; Pharmaceutical Science;

    Abstract : Orally administered drugs are absorbed in the intestine and generally metabolized in the liver. Therefore, understanding factors determining drug distribution and elimination in these tissues is important. READ MORE

  4. 2. Proteomics informed investigation of human hepatocytes and liver tissue

    Author : Niklas Handin; Per Artursson; Peter Nygren; Tobias Sjöblom; Mårten Fryknäs; Pieter Annaert; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; human; liver; hepatocytes; proteomics; cellular stress; apoptosis; hepatotoxicity; 3D culture; spheroid; drug metabolism; drug toxicity; drug transport; Farmaceutisk vetenskap; Pharmaceutical Science;

    Abstract : A successful drug needs to display beneficial absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADME-Tox) profile. It is therefore important to investigate these properties during the drug discovery process. READ MORE

  5. 3. Metabolite Profiling of Drugs using Mass Spectrometry : Identification of analytical targets for doping control and improvements of the metabolite search process

    Author : Malin Nilsson Broberg; Mikael Hedeland; Ulf Bondesson; Curt Pettersson; Börje Tidstedt; Peter Van Eenoo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mass spectrometry; UHPLC-HRMS; Doping control; Metabolite profile; SARM; Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator; MVDA; Microsomes; Experimental design; Analytisk farmaceutisk kemi; Analytical Pharmaceutical Chemistry;

    Abstract : Doping is defined as the use of prohibited substances or methods by the World Anti-Doping Agency and the aim with doping control analysis is to detect the use of these illicit substances or methods. Substances that are prohibited in human or equine sports have either a positive or negative impact on the performance. READ MORE

  6. 4. Functional features of human cytochrome P450 1A2 : with special focus on caffeine and melatonin metabolism

    Author : Anna Nordmark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Drug metabolism; CYP1A2; caffeine; melatonin; liver slices; in vitro methods;

    Abstract : CYP1A2 is one of the major cytochrome P450 enzymes in the liver and metabolises drugs such as caffeine, clozapine, tacrine, and theophylline. CYP1A2 also has a role in chemical carcinogenesis due to its activation of procarcinogens, such as heterocyclic amines and arylamines. Caffeine is extensively used to assess CYP1A2 activity.

  7. 5. Cytochrome P450 enzymes in oxygenation of prostaglandin endoperoxides and arachidonic acid : Cloning, expression and catalytic properties of CYP4F8 and CYP4F21

    Author : Johan Bylund; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutical biosciences; Farmaceutisk biovetenskap; Biopharmacy; Biofarmaci; farmaceutisk biokemi; Pharmaceutical Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Cytochrome P450 (P450 or CYP) is an enzyme system involved in the oxygenation of a wide range of endogenous compounds as well as foreign chemicals and drugs. This thesis describes investigations of P450-catalyzed oxygenation of prostaglandins, linoleic and arachidoniacids. READ MORE
