1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeTo evaluate the potential of phosphate ester prodrugs to significantly improve the absorptive flux of poorly soluble parent drugs.

methodsAbsorptive transport studies of parent drugs and their prodrugs were carried out in Caco-2 cells. Prodrugs of parent drugs with variable aqueous solubilities were tested: Hydrocortisone-phosphate/Hydrocortisone, Fosphenytoin/phenytoin, TAT-59/DP-TAT-59, and Entacapone phosphate/Entacapone. Additional absorption studies were carried out in rats.

resultsAbsorptive fluxes of DP-TAT-59 and phenytoin increased 9.8 or 3.3-fold after dosing TAT-59 and 500 microM fosphenytoin, respectively. Hydrocortisone's flux did not increase with hydrocortisone-phosphate at 100 microM. Permeability of the highly lipophilic and protein bound compound, DP-TAT-59, was significantly increased with serosal albumin. No permeability increase was observed for the other drugs with albumin. Entacapone phosphate failed to improve the flux of entacapone compared to an entacapone solution, but the prodrug solution did yield higher entacapone plasma levels in rats when compared with an entacapone suspension.

conclusionIdeal phosphate prodrug candidates are characterized by high permeability and low solubility (BCS Class II drugs). For low dose BCS Class II drug candidates, however, no biopharmaceutical advantage may be gained. Phosphate prodrugs of parent drugs with limited permeability may fail. When screening highly lipophilic parent drugs transport studies should be done with albumin.
