Prodrug metabolites: implications for therapeutic drug monitoring.
Prodrugs are analogs of active drugs that have been developed to improve the bioavailability and/or tolerability of the latter. Fosphenytoin (1 ) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) (2 ) are two examples of prodrugs where monitoring of the active drug, the anticonvulsant phenytoin and the immunosuppressant mycophenolic acid (MPA), respectively, is used to guide therapy. The successful application o...
متن کاملAsparaginase pharmacokinetics and implications of therapeutic drug monitoring
Asparaginase is widely used in chemotherapeutic regimens for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and has led to a substantial improvement in cure rates, especially in children. Optimal therapeutic effects depend on a complete and sustained depletion of serum asparagine. However, pronounced interpatient variability, differences in pharmacokinetic properties between asparaginases ...
متن کاملA Review on Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Immunosuppressant Drugs
Immunosuppressants require therapeutic drug monitoring because of their narrow therapeutic index and significant inter-individual variability in blood concentrations. This variability can be because of factors like drug-nutrient interactions, drug-disease interactions, renal-insufficiency, inflammation and infection, gender, age, polymorphism and liver mass. Drug monitoring is widely practiced ...
متن کاملTherapeutic drug monitoring
(Suggestions are based on Level III and IV evidence) • In both adults and children, C2 monitoring of CSA is superior to C0 as a predictor of AUC 0–4 and AUC 0–12. The C3 level is marginally superior to C2 for AUC 0–12. • Targeting AUC 0–4 levels for CSA of greater than 4400 ng/mL or C2 levels of greater than 1.5 by the end of the first week post transplant is associated with less acute rejectio...
