    Abstract The prevalence of obesity has increased considerably in the last few decades. Pathophysiological changes in obese patients lead to pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) alterations that can condition the correct exposure to antimicrobials if standard dosages are used. Inadequate dosing in obese patients can lead to toxicity or therapeutic failure. In recent years, additional antimicrobial PK/PD data, extended infusion strategies, and studies in critically ill patients have made it possible to obtain data to provide a better dosage in obese patients. Despite this, it is usually difficult to find information on drug dosing in this population, which is sometimes contradictory. This is a comprehensive review of the dosing of different types of antimicrobials (antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, and antituberculosis drugs) in obese patients, where the literature on PK and possible dosing strategies in obese adults was critically assessed.

    Abstract Therapeutic drug monitoring improves the benefit-risk balance of antipsychotic therapy. Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) is considered the gold-standard method for measuring plasma drug concentrations; however, the Alinity C system has emerged as a promising alternative. This is the first study aimed at comparing UHPLC-MS/MS versus Alinity C in measuring plasma concentrations of aripiprazole and dehydroaripiprazole. A total of 86 plasma samples were analyzed. The active moiety of aripiprazole was measured in 60 samples using both systems and 26 samples were analyzed twice using Alinity C with an intermediate period of 6 months to assess its reproducibility. Spearman's correlation revealed a good association between the two assays (rs = 0.96) and no significance differences were found by McNemar's test when classifying samples between infra-, supra- and therapeutic ranges. Passing-Bablock regression showed a good correlation among methods (rs = 0.93) and a slope of 1.12 indicating a slight tendency of Alinity C to measure higher values than UHPLC-MS/MS. In addition, a good intra-method correlation across the two sequential analyses with Alinity C was obtained (rs = 0.99). Nonetheless, clinical decisions could be different in 15% of the cases depending on the chosen method. No differences were found in active moiety determination by Alinity C depending on the concentration of aripiprazole and dehydroaripiprazole of the samples.

    Abstract Population pharmacokinetic (popPK) models constitute a valuable tool for characterizing the pharmacokinetic properties of once-monthly long-acting injectable aripiprazole (LAI aripiprazole) and quantifying the sources of variability in drug exposure. Our aim is to develop a popPK model of both aripiprazole and its metabolite dehydro-aripiprazole in patients treated with LAI aripiprazole, and to personalize the dosing regimen of aripiprazole across different sub-groups of patients. This is a prospective study investigating the pharmacokinetics of LAI aripiprazole. A total of 93 patients were included, 21 for model development and 71 for external model evaluation. A one-compartment model with linear absorption and elimination adequately described both aripiprazole and dehydro-aripiprazole concentrations. The weight of the patients has been shown to be the factor that most influences the absorption. However, the metabolizing phenotype for CYP2D6 and the concomitant treatment with strong inhibitors of this cytochrome have been shown to be the covariates that most influence total drug exposure. This is the first popPK model developed for LAI aripiprazole that includes aripiprazole and its main active metabolite, dehydroaripiprazole. It provides a personalized dosage recommendation that maximizes the probability of achieving optimal therapeutic concentrations and minimizes the difficulties associated with trial-and-error therapeutic strategies carried out in clinical practice.

    Abstract For decades, topical ophthalmic drug administration through the use of eye  drops has been the most widely used technique for the treatment of eye diseases. The development of galenic formulation has led to the use and commercialization of new formulations, such as suspensions, emulsions, and  ophthalmic ointments that increase residence time in the site of  action. Recently, new administration systems have been developed, such as  devices and inserts that provide the sustained release of active substance. Some of these systems are already available on the market, whereas others are still undergoing clinical trials, such as promising systems based on nanostructures (nanocapsules, cyclodextrins, nanoemulsions, etc.). Similarly,  various formulations and devices have been developed in the field of intravitreal administration, with different implants available on the European  market for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic  macular edema, or infections that affect the posterior segment. This review  includes current developments in ophthalmic topical and intravitreal drug  administration routes as well as those under investigation.

    Abstract Background: Cystinosis is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the accumulation of cystine crystals in several tissues and organs causing, among others, severe eye symptoms. The high instability of cysteamine eye drops makes it difficult to develop formulations with an acceptable shelf life to be prepared in hospital pharmacy departments. Previously, a new compounded formulation of cysteamine eye drops in hyaluronic acid (HA) packaged in innovative single-dose systems was developed.
    Methods: Long-term stability at -20 °C of this formulation was studied considering the content of cysteamine, pH, osmolality, viscosity, and microbiological analysis. The oxygen permeability of single-dose containers was also studied and an ocular biopermanence study was conducted in healthy volunteers measuring lacrimal stability and volume parameters.
    Results: Data confirm that cysteamine concentration remained above 90% for 120 days, all parameters remaining within the accepted range for ophthalmic formulations. The permeability of the containers was reduced over time, while ocular biopermanence was maintained despite the freezing process and storage time.
    Conclusions: 0.55% cysteamine hydrochloride formulation in HA and packaged in single-dose containers preserved at -20 °C is stable for 120 days protected from light, presenting high potential for its translation into clinical practice when commercial presentations are not available.
