Cytochrome P450 3A4‐mediated pharmacokinetic interaction study between tadalafil and canagliflozin using high‐performance thin‐layer chromatography

Abstract

Diabetes is a known risk factor for sexual dysfunction in men; diabetic men have an increased risk of erectile dysfunction compared to non‐diabetic men. Canagliflozin is one of the common antidiabetic drugs that is readily used in the treatment of type‐2 diabetes. Concomitantly phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors, such as tadalafil, can be given to the patient to alleviate erectile dysfunction. Canagliflozin is reported to be one of the cytochrome P450 3A4 enzyme inhibitors, that might seriously influence blood concentration levels of tadalafil but there is no study till now, discussing this interaction. Therefore, a fast, simple, and sensitive high‐performance thin‐layer chromatographic method was developed, validated, and applied for the simultaneous determination of tadalafil and canagliflozin in spiked and real human plasma. The limit of detection for tadalafil was 0.14 ng/band and for canagliflozin was 0.16 ng/band. The limit of quantitation value for tadalafil was 0.43 ng/band and for canagliflozin was 0.47 ng/band. Tadalafil and canagliflozin were determined simultaneously in real human plasma using the described procedure and the method was applied for in vivo pharmacokinetic drug interaction study between the studied drugs, which proved significant interaction between them when administered simultaneously.

“…26,28,29 Bottom-up methods build up CDs from molecular precursors using hydrothermal treatment, microwave synthesis, ultrasonic synthesis, or thermal decomposition. 30 Additional post-treatment steps like surface passivation are often utilized to enhance the CDs' photoluminescence. 31–33 Functionalizing CDs by incorporating other atoms, especially transition metals, allows fine-tuning of their optoelectronic properties.…”

A selective dual quenching sensor (EY/BG@CDs) for simultaneous monitoring of gentamicin and ketorolac levels in plasma: a highly efficient platform that caters to the needs of therapeutic drug monitoring

“…The proposed fluorometric method utilizing EY and BG@CDs offer several advantages, comprising excellent sensitivity, low detection limits, and capability to quantify multiple analytes simultaneously. 46 Additionally, the sensor is simple to prepare and cost-effective. The development of such a sensor has significant potential for applications in clinical monitoring of GNT levels in presence of KET, where the simultaneous detection of target analytes is required.…”
