U-47700, a synthetic μ-opioid receptor agonist and emerging new psychoactive substance, poses critical public health risks due to its high abuse liability and fatal overdose potential.
From In Vivo Predictive Dissolution to Virtual Bioequivalence: A GastroPlus®-Driven Framework for Generic Candesartan Cilexetil Tablets
Candesartan cilexetil, a Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) II prodrug, demonstrates compromised bioavailability attributable to its limited aqueous solubility coupled with P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated efflux and hepatic first-pass metabolism, thereby introducing complexities in generic drug bioequivalence assessments.
Mode of Action Approach Supports a Lack of Carcinogenic Potential of Six Organic UV Filters
Ultraviolet (UV) filters, the active ingredients in sunscreens, have been used for several decades to reduce the risk of acute and chronic damage to the skin from solar UV radiation, which can lead to skin cancer.

Kratom, a Southeast Asian tree, has been researched for its potential as a therapeutic for substance use disorders.
Antiviral Activity of Halogenated Compounds Derived from L-Tyrosine Against SARS-CoV-2
Currently, there are no effective medications for treating all the clinical conditions of patients with COVID-19.
Trends in Drug-Drug Interactions for New Drug Clinical Trials in China Over the Past 10 Years (2013–2022)
The number of drug-drug interaction (DDI) clinical trials in China has increased rapidly in recent years.
Unveiling the Phenolic Profiling of Moroccan Ferula communis L. Fruits: A Combination of In Silico and In Vivo Protective Effect Against Methotrexate-Induced Hepato-Renal Dysfunction
Methotrexate (MTX) is associated with several side effects, including hepatic and renal toxicities, which limit its effectiveness as an anticancer medication.
Molluscicidal and Schistosomicidal Activities of 2-(1H-Pyrazol-1-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole Derivatives
Schistosomiasis is caused by flatworms of the genus Schistosoma, for which mollusks of the genus Biomphalaria are intermediate hosts.
Longitudinal Model-Based Meta-Analysis (MBMA) Comprehensive MonolixSuite Tutorial with Case Studies
Model-based meta analysis (MBMA) informs key drug development decisions by integrating data, published or unpublished, from multiple studies.
Clustering of Environmental Compounds Based on Structure and Toxicokinetic Properties
Traditional toxicokinetic (TK) models rely heavily on in vivo data, necessitating animal testing. At the same time, the scientific toolbox is expanding with new approach methodologies (NAMs) that do not rely on TK studies.
Leveraging Omeprazole PBPK/PD Modeling to Inform Drug–Drug Interactions and Specific Recommendations for Pediatric Labeling
Omeprazole is widely used for managing gastrointestinal disorders like GERD, ulcers, and H. pylori infections.
