Quantitative structure-retention relationship of selected imidazoline derivatives on alpha1-acid glycoprotein column
The retention behaviour of 22 selected imidazoline drugs and derivatives was investigated on α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) column using Sørensen phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) and 2-propanol as organic modifier.

Computer Aided Drug Discovery (Structure-based and ligand-based design).
Driven by chemistry but increasingly guided by pharmacology and the clinical sciences, drug research has contributed more to the progress of medicine during the past century than any other scientific factor.

Rapid Experimental and Computational Determination of Phenethylamine Drug Analogue Lipophilicity

An Agent-Based Approach to Dynamically Represent the Pharmacokinetic Properties of Baicalein
Baicalein, a typical flavonoid presented in Scutellariae radix, exhibits a unique metabolic profile during first-pass metabolism: parallel glucuronidation and sulfation pathways, with possible substrate inhibition in both pathways.

Prediction of the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of levofloxacin in humans based on an extrapolated PBPK model
This study developed a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model in intraabdominally infected rats and extrapolated it to humansto predict the levofloxacin pharmacokinetics and penetration into tissues.
