  • Tools to evaluate pharmacokinetics data for establishing maximum residue limits for approved veterinary drugs: examples from JECFA's work
    Drug Testing and Analysis, 2016
    Co-Authors: Pascal Sanders, Jérôme Henri, Michel Laurentie
    Abstract:

    Maximum residue limits (MRLs) for residues of veterinary drugs are the maximum concentrations of residues permitted in or on a food by national or regional legislation. In the process of MRLs recommendations by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), analysis of pharmacokinetic data describing the ADME process (absorption, distribution, Metabolism and excretion) is a crucial step and requires the use of different pharmacokinetic tools. The results of Animal Metabolism studies are the prime determinants of the residue definition in food commodities. Substances labelled with radioactive isotopes are used so that the disposition of the residue can be followed as total residue and main metabolites concentrations. Residue depletion studies with radiolabelled parent drug will lead to the estimate of the time course of the total residue and to determine a marker residue. Depletion studies with an unlabelled drug provide more information on the time course of the marker residue in raw commodities after administration under approved practical conditions of use. By use of this information and after conversion with the total/residue marker ratio, MRLs are derived by comparison of the acceptable daily intake with the daily intakes calculated with different scenarios of dietary exposure. Progress in pharmacokinetic model such as physiologically based pharmacokinetics and population pharmacokinetics will drive the future research in this field to improved veterinary drug development.

  • Vitamin B12: chemistry and biochemistry.
    Biochemical Society Transactions, 2005
    Co-Authors: B Kräutler
    Abstract:

    Vitamin B12, the ‘antipernicious anaemia factor’, is required for human and Animal Metabolism. It was discovered in the late 1940s and its unique corrin ligand was revealed approx. 10 years later by X-ray crystallography. The B12-coenzymes are cofactors in various important enzymatic reactions and are particularly relevant in the Metabolism of anaerobic microorganisms. Microorganisms are the only natural sources of the B12-derivatives, whereas most spheres of life (except for the higher plants) depend on these cobalt corrinoids. Abbreviations: B12r, cob(II)alamin; GM, glutamate mutase; MetH, methionine synthase; MMCM, methyl-malonyl CoA mutase; RNR-Ll, ribonucleotide reductase of Lactobacillus leichmanii

  • Navigating dietary small RNAs
    Genes & Nutrition, 2017
    Co-Authors: Kendal D. Hirschi
    Abstract:

    When a novel nutritional concept comes along, scientists become enthusiastic and start new explorations. In 2012, the field was enthralled with a study suggesting plant-based nucleic acid “information” acts as a bioactive to regulate Animal Metabolism.
