Journal: Physical-chemical characterization of octreotide encapsulated in commercial glucose-star PLGA microspheres. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 16, 2021 Sandostatin LAR (SLAR) is an injectable long-acting release (LAR) microsphere formulation for octreotide based on a biodegradeable glucose star copolymer of d,l-lactic and glycolic acids (PLGA-glu), which is primarily used for the treatment of patients with acromegaly...Leuprolide is considered as a cationic peptide competitor for octreotide-PLGA interactions and its presence in the release medium resulted in more continuous octreotide release from SLAR, which was linearly correlated with the mass loss from the polymer (i.e., an indication of erosion-controlled release)...This salt is expected to catalyze octreotide acylation and extend peptide release beyond that is driven by erosion-control. The characterization studies of physicochemical properties of SLAR described here could be useful for development and regulatory evaluation of generic octreotide microspheres as well as new polymer formulations in which the polymer strongly interacts with encapsulated peptides.

(Pubmed Central) - Sep 2, 2021 Due to liver dysfunction, antiandrogens, both bicalutamide and flutamide, were stopped...Leuprorelin acetate was replaced by goserelin acetate...Androgen deprivation therapy is the standard treatment for patients with advanced prostate cancer and luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone aims to suppress serum testosterone to castrate range. We recommend assessing the serum testosterone levels during luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist therapy for monitoring treatment efficacy and verifying progression when the PSA level increases.

[VIRTUAL] Sterile Abscess Formation with Two Different GnRH Analogues: Three Case Reports () - Aug 27, 2021 - Abstract #ESPE2021ESPE_960; Enantone appeared to have been effective in the treatment of CPP. Although SA is a rare side effect, it is very important as it causes patients to be left untreated.In our cases, the active substance of the drug accumulates in the localization of SA and cannot be absorbed, so it cannot enter the systemic circulation.Therefore, puberty cannot be suppressed.Also, often leaving a scar is annoying for patients and their families.We suggest that if a dose increase is required, SA may develop.For this, we recommend the injection site check.If SA develops, we recommend discontinuing the treatment and not insisting on treatment.

[VIRTUAL] Gonadotropin Flare with Different Depot GnRH Agonists: Comparative Analysis.

This result suggests that there should be no concerns regarding flare when using Leuprolide 45 mg to initiate treatment of CPP in girls.

This increase in weight could suggest a trigger effect due to an increase in fat mass and a greater number of advanced puberty.

Journal: Hydrogen-Bonded Films for Zero-Order Release of Leuprolide. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 12, 2021 Initially, an increase in the level of serum testosterone is induced by the released drug, followed by testosterone suppression to a constant level below the castrate level, which could be maintained as long as a constant serum drug level is maintained. Since the new drug carriers avoid an initial burst release of the drug and maintain a constant serum drug level and hence a constant serum testosterone level below the castrate level, these carriers are highly promising for androgen deprivation therapy.

Journal: 'Flexible-acceptor' General Solubility Equation for 'beyond Rule of 5' Drugs. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 4, 2021 The mp coefficient ( 0.007) remains practically constant, near the traditional value (-0.01) for most molecules, which suggests that the small-to-large molecule continuum is mainly solvation responsive, apparently with only minor changes in the crystal lattice contributions. For a test set of 32 large molecules (e.g., cyclosporine A, gramicidin A, leuprolide, nafarelin, oxytocin, vancomycin - mostly natural-product derived therapeutics used in infectious/viral diseases, in immunosuppression, and in oncology) the modified equation predicted the intrinsic solubility with a root-mean-square-error of 1.10 log unit, compared to 3.0 by the traditional GSE, and 1.07 by RFR.
