We analysed the absorption, after oral application, of a new galenic form of cyclosporin A (CyA-NOF) in liver-grafted patients (n = 12) during the 1st week (days 2-4) after transplantation. Pharmacokinetic profiling was performed with an open or clamped T tube in situ or with the T tube absent. The pharmacokinetic parameters of CyA-NOF were influenced by T tube clamping and bile diversion. The highest AUC, Cmax and earliest Tmax values were found in patients without a T tube in situ, indicating that absorption of CyA-NOF in patients during the early course after liver transplantation is not bile-independent. CyA-NOF, at a dose of 7.5 mg/kg, was enterally absorbed with appropriate AUC and Cmax levels. Patients receiving a starting dose of 7.5 mg/kg were successfully maintained on CyA-NOF during the subsequent clinical course.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.

D004655 Emulsions Colloids formed by the combination of two immiscible liquids such as oil and water. Lipid-in-water emulsions are usually liquid, like milk or lotion. Water-in-lipid emulsions tend to be creams. The formation of emulsions may be aided by amphiphatic molecules that surround one component of the system to form MICELLES. Emulsion
