This study aimed to determine the population pharmacokinetics of doxapram in low-birth-weight (LBW) infants. A total of 92 serum concentration measurements that were obtained from 34 Japanese neonates were analyzed using nonlinear mixed-effect modeling (NONMEM). Estimates generated by NONMEM indicated

A rapid and reliable analytical method has been developed to quantify the melatonergic antidepressant agomelatine in three matrices, and namely saliva, plasma and dried blood spots. The method is based on the use of liquid chromatography with fluorimetric detection exploiting
γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporters (GATs) are promising drug targets for various diseases associated with imbalances in GABAergic neurotransmission. For the development of new drugs or pharmacological tools addressing GATs, screening techniques to identify new inhibitors and to characterize their potency
