Simple and sensitive HPLC-UV method for determination of bexarotene in rat plasma (2016)
Journal Article
Lee, J. B., Zgair, A., Kim, T. H., Kim, M. G., Yoo, S. D., Fischer, P. M., & Gershkovich, P. (2017). Simple and sensitive HPLC-UV method for determination of bexarotene in rat plasma. Journal of Chromatography B, 1040, 73-80. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jchromb.2016.11.024

Bexarotene is currently marketed for treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and there has been growing interest in its therapeutic effectiveness for other cancers. Neuroprotective effects of bexarotene have also been reported. In this study, a simple... Read More about Simple and sensitive HPLC-UV method for determination of bexarotene in rat plasma.

Linking in vitro lipolysis and microsomal metabolism for the quantitative prediction of oral bioavailability of BCS II drugs administered in lipidic formulations (2016)
Journal Article
Benito-Gallo, P., Marlow, M., Zann, V., Scholes, P., & Gershkovich, P. (in press). Linking in vitro lipolysis and microsomal metabolism for the quantitative prediction of oral bioavailability of BCS II drugs administered in lipidic formulations. Molecular Pharmaceutics, 13(10), https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.molpharmaceut.6b00597

Lipidic formulations (LFs) are increasingly utilized for the delivery of drugs that belong to class II of the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS). The current work proposes, for the first time, the combination of in vitro lipolysis and micro...

Dietary fats and pharmaceutical lipid excipients increase systemic exposure to orally administered cannabis and cannabis-based medicines (2016)
Journal Article
Zgair, A., Wong, J. C., Lee, J. B., Mistry, J., Sivak, O., Wasan, K. M., …Gershkovich, P. (2016). Dietary fats and pharmaceutical lipid excipients increase systemic exposure to orally administered cannabis and cannabis-based medicines. American Journal of Translational Research, 8(8), 3448-3459

There has been an escalating interest in the medicinal use of Cannabis sativa in recent years. Cannabis is often administered orally with fat-containing foods, or in lipid-based pharmaceutical preparations. However, the impact of lipids on the exposu...

Proposing the use of partial AUC as an adjunctive measure in establishing bioequivalence between deltoid and gluteal administration of long-acting injectable antipsychotics (2016)
Journal Article
Lee, L. H. N., Choi, C., Gershkovich, P., Barr, A. M., Honer, W. G., & Procyshyn, R. M. (2016). Proposing the use of partial AUC as an adjunctive measure in establishing bioequivalence between deltoid and gluteal administration of long-acting injectable antipsychotics. European Journal of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics, 41(6), 659-664. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13318-016-0348-z

The maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and the area under the plasma concentration–time curve (AUC) are commonly used to establish bioequivalence between two formulations of the same oral medication. Similarly, these pharmacokinetic parameters have...

The role of acid-base imbalance in statin-induced myotoxicity (2016)
Journal Article
Taha, D. A., de Moor, C. H., Barrett, D. A., Lee, J. B., Gandhi, R. D., Hoo, C. W., & Gershkovich, P. (2016). The role of acid-base imbalance in statin-induced myotoxicity. Translational Research, The Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine, 174, 140-160.e14. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trsl.2016.03.015

Disturbances in acid-base balance, such as acidosis and alkalosis, have potential to alter the pharmacological and toxicological outcomes of statin therapy. Statins are commonly prescribed for elderly patients who have multiple co-morbidities such as... Read More about The role of acid-base imbalance in statin-induced myotoxicity.
