The role of pharmacogenomics in drug development

2007-06-15T20:00:00.000-07:00

Pharmacogenomics is a biotechnological science that combines the techniques of medicine, pharmacology, and genomics and is concerned with developing drug therapies to compensate for genetic differences in patients which cause varied responses to a single therapeutic regimen. Patient-drug interaction is a complex trait influenced by many genes.

The future aspects of Prebiotics on human health: A Review

2007-05-29T06:30:00.000-07:00

The future aspects of Prebiotics on human health: A Review

Prebiotics are short-chain carbohydrates that alter the composition, or metabolism, of the gut microbiota in a beneficial manner. It is therefore expected that prebiotics will improve health in a way similar to probiotics, whilst at the same time being cheaper, and carrying less risk and being easier to incorporate into the diet than probiotics.

The role of pharmacogenomics in drug development

Pharmacogenomics is a biotechnological science that combines the techniques of medicine, pharmacology, and genomics and is concerned with developing drug therapies to compensate for genetic differences in patients which cause varied responses to a single therapeutic regimen. Patient-drug interaction is a complex trait influenced by many genes.
Without a comprehensive knowledge of all the genes that influence drug response, it is difficult to develop genetic tests that could predict a person's response to a particular drug. Pharmacogenomics is a science that examines the inherited variations in genes that dictate drug response and explores the ways these variations can be used to predict the kind of response a patient would have to a drug

Drug interactions with grapefruit juice

2007-02-13T13:57:00.000-08:00

Drug interactions with grapefruit juice

Concomitant intake with grapefruit juice increases the concentrations of many drugs in humans. The effect seems to be mediated mainly by suppression of the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP3A4 in the small intestine wall. This results in a diminished first pass metabolism with higher bioavailability and increased maximal plasma concentrations of substrates of this enzyme. The effect was most pronounced in drugs with high first pass degradation.

Orphan Diseases - An Indian Perspective

2007-02-13T13:54:00.000-08:00

Orphan Diseases - An Indian Perspective:

Diseases which manifest in patient populations representing at the maximum 6-8% of the world population are defined as rare diseases. 1 They are pathologies whose incidence at birth is less than 1 in 2000. 50% of these appear when the sufferer has reached adult age. Today there are over 5000 rare diseases listed in the world with five new rare diseases being described every week in the medical literature.

Novel Approaches In Vaccines Delivery

2007-02-06T15:24:00.000-08:00

Novel Approaches In Vaccines Delivery

Oral vaccination of animals and man, to provide effective mucosal and/or systemic immunity, is largely ineffective. This is due mainly to the very small quantity of antigen that survives degradation in the intestine and that crosses the intestinal wall.
