Pilot Study of Rosiglitazone as an in vivo Probe of Paclitaxel Exposure
Conclusions: The correlation between the exposure of rosiglitazone and paclitaxel likely reflects mutual dependence on the activity of CYP2C8. Rosiglitazone or similar agents may have value as in vivo probes of CYP2C8 activity.

Abstract
The physiological response of erythromycin fermentation scale-up from 50 L to 132 m(3) scale was investigated. A relatively high oxygen uptake rate (OUR) in early phase of fermentation was beneficial for erythromycin biosynthesis. Correspondingly, the maximal consistency coefficient (K) reflecting non-Newtonian fluid characteristics in 50 L and 132 m(3) fermenter also appeared in same phase. Fluid dynamics in different scale bioreactor was further investigated by real-time computational fluid dynamics modeling. The results of simulation showed that the impeller combination in 50 L fermenter could provide more modest flow field environment compared with that in 132 m(3) fermenter. The decrease of oxygen transfer rate ...
