| Research Abstract |
Fundamental studies on population pharmacokinetics of alcohol and alcohol-drug interaction were conducted. At first, the technical problems of the pharmacokinetic analysis of alcohol disposition were studied using the Michaelis-Menten elimination kinetics models. The ordinary least-squares (OLS) method was compared with the Baysian least-squares (BLS) method. Correlation between the V_<max> and beta values, and between the V_<max> and K_m values, was seen when the parameter values were estimated by the OLS method. These results suggested that one-line fitting by the OLS method was not adequate for Michaelis-Mentan-type elimination kinetics analysis.
At second, the pharmacokinetic mechanism of the inhibition of ethanol metabolism by cyanamide, an inhibitor of mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase, was studied. As a result, the estimated V_<max> values decreased by cyanamide treatment, whereas the K_m value did not change. Our results correspond to a noncompetitive-like inhibition of ethanol metabolism. This result is thought to be an example of alcohol-drug interaction.
