In this study, the initial in vivo pharmacokinetic changes according to the routes of drug administration were investigated using bioimaging techniques. The purpose of this study was to quantify the degree of distribution of each major organ in normal mice over time by acquiring Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography images while administering routes F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose such as intravenous, intraperitoneal and per oral, a representative diagnostic radiopharmaceutical. Dynamic Positron Emission Tomography images were acquired for 90 minutes after drug administration. Radioactivity uptake was calculated for major organs using the PMOD program. In the case of intravenous administration, it was confirmed that it spread quickly and evenly to major organs. Compared to intravenous administration, intraperitoneal administration was about three times more absorbed and distributed in the liver and intestine, and it was showed that the amount excreted through the bladder was more than twice. In the case of oral administration, most stayed in the stomach, and it was showed that it spread slowly throughout the body. In comparison with intravenous administration, it was presented that the distribution of kidneys was more than 9 times and the distribution of bladder was 66% lower. Since there is a difference in the initial in vivo distribution and excretion of each administration method, we confirmed that the determination of the administration route is important for in vivo imaging evaluation of new drug candidates.

한국 제약산업은 제약회사의 수와 거래선의 수가 많고, 다품종 소량생산체제이며 동일성분의 경쟁품이 많은 실정이다. 이러한 실정 하에서 통합물류가 물류원가 절감 및 효율적인 배송에는 적절한 방안이라고 할 수 있으나 기업마다 다른 배송 조건 문제, 다품종 소량주문의 적기 배송 문제 등 회사 특유의 서비스 제공 등에 한계가 있어서 경쟁적 매출증가에 문제점이 있다 하겠다. 이와 같이 물류원가는 절감해야하고 영업효율성은 증대시켜야 하는 두 가지 문제를 두고 다음과 같은 대처방안을 제시하고자 한다. 첫째, 제약회사 간 품목 공동마케팅 실시. 둘째, 규모가 비슷한 3개 회사 이하 합동 배송실시. 셋째, 매출이 큰 제품은 도매상과 유통 일원화 협약. 넷째, 도매상이 제약 물류 서비스하도록 준비. 다섯째, 거래선의 협조 등이다. 결론적으로 한국제약산업에서 통합물류가 필요하지만 산업의 특성상 중소제약회사는 완전 통합물류는 매출이 감소할 것이라는 가정하에 그 시행이 어려울 것으로 판단되는 것이다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate sales managers' strategic focus on customer acquisition, specifically its effect on salespeople's performance. In addition, this study aimed to determine how salespeople's interpersonal skills, salesmanship skills, and technical knowledge affect the relationship between customer-acquisition management and salespeople's performance. Research design, data, and methodology: This study conducted a survey of 310 salespeople working at pharmaceutical companies. A structural equation modeling approach was applied to test the main effects and interaction effects using AMOS. Results: The results indicated that both managers' customer-acquisition orientation and salespeople's salesmanship skills and technical knowledge positively affected the latter's performance. Further, it was found that the higher the technical knowledge of the salesperson, the greater the effect of the customer-acquisition orientation on sales performance. Conclusions: Sales managers should enable salespeople to quickly acquire technical knowledge with respect to the market, products, competitors, and company policy so that they can bring greater synergy to the customer-acquisition orientation.

의약품의 제조, 유통, 보관 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 잠재적 불순물은 의약품의 품질과 안전에 영향을 미치며 반응성이 높은 불순물의 경우 인체에 대한 발암성(변이원성)을 나타내기도 한다. 이를 위해 국제의약품규제조화위원회(International Conference on Harmonisation, ICH)에서는 "잠재적 발암 위해를 제한하기 위한 의약품 중 DNA 반응성(변이원성) 불순물의 평가 및 관리"에 대한 내용을 담은 M7(R1) 가이드라인을 제공하여 채택을 권고하였다. 하지만 가이드라인에서도 잠재적 불순물에 대한 분류, 섭취 허용량, 관리방안 등과 대표적인 불순물 14 종에 대한 가이드라인 적용을 소개하는데 그치고 있어 제약회사와 규제 당국에서 실제 관리를 위한 의약품 중 잠재적 불순물의 분석에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에 따라 본 총설에서는 비의도적 변이원성 불순물의 정의와 ICH M7(R1) 가이드라인에 소개된 내용을 간략하게 살펴보는 한편 현재까지 보고된 주요 잠재적 불순물의 분석 동향을 살펴보고자 한다. 이를 통해 식약처를 비롯한 감독 기관과 제약회사 등에서 의약품 중 잠재적 불순물 관리에 조금이나마 도움이 되고자 한다.

Local pharmaceutical companies in Korea, which have grown focusing on domestic markets, have recently faced difficulties such as market saturation, price control policies and market-opening pressures by FTA. It seems to be an urgent issue for them to export pharmaceuticals to developed countries comprising the greater part of the global pharmaceutical market. Hence, this research was conducted to investigate and benchmark the strategies employed by India industry for the successful access to the global pharmaceutical markets. Drug policies as well as their influences on pharmaceutical market changes between India and Korea for the last 40 years have been searched and the differences have been comparatively analyzed. The pharmaceutical industry of India has the following strengths: low costs; experienced labor pool; excellent reverse-engineering skills; powerful IT; marketing capability; and established distribution network. After 2000, consolidations, M&A and alliances with domestic and multinational companies have been sharply increased in the industry of India. Indian companies unfolding both competition and cooperation with multinational corporations currently move up the value-added chain, and this enthusiastic strategy should be learned by local pharmaceutical companies.

Objectives: Limited information is available on the presence and associated ecological risks of pharmaceutical residues in aquatic environments near pharmaceutical manufacturing areas in Korea. In this study, we investigated the current state of pharmaceutical contamination and its associated ecological risks in streams near a pharmaceutical manufacturing complex. Methods: Seven pharmaceuticals (acetaminophen, clarithromycin, diclofenac, diphenhydramine, ibuprofen, mefenamic acid and roxithromycin) were measured in water samples collected from the streams near a pharmaceutical manufacturing complex. A predicted no-effect concentration (PNEC) was derived using either the assessment factor method or species sensitivity distribution method. In addition, a hazard quotient for each pharmaceutical was calculated by dividing its measured environmental concentration by its PNEC. Results: Samples collected downstream from the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) had higher concentrations of pharmaceuticals than those collected from the reference site (upstream). Moreover, pharmaceutical concentrations were greater in ambient water than in the final effluent from the WWTP, which suggested that non-point sources were contributing to the contamination of the ambient water environment. Some of the target pharmaceuticals exhibited a hazard quotient >1, indicating that their potential ecological effects on the aquatic environment near the pharmaceutical industrial area should not be ignored. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the pharmaceutical manufacturing area was contaminated with residual drugs, and that there was a possible non-point source near the WWTP effluent discharge area. The results of this study will aid in the development of management plans for pharmaceuticals, particularly in hotspots such as pharmaceutical industrial sites and their vicinities.

meta-iodobenzylguanidine is one of the norepinephrine analogs and reuptakes together with norepinephrine with norepinephrine transporter. The radioiodinated ligand, ¹²³I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine, is the most widely used for single photon emission computed tomography imaging to diagnose functional abnormalities and tumors of the sympathetic nervous system. In this study, we performed cellular uptake studies of ¹²³I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine in positive- and negative-norepinephrine transporter cells in vitro to verify the uptake activity for norepinephrine transporter. After ¹²³I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine was injected via a tail vein into normal mice, Single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography images were acquired at 1 h, 4 h, and 24 h post-injection, and quantified the distribution in each organ including the adrenal medulla as a norepinephrine transporter expressing organ. In vitro cell study showed that ¹²³I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine specifically uptaked via norepinephrine transporter, and significant uptake of ¹²³I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine in the adrenal medulla in vivo single photon emission computed tomography images. These results demonstrated that single photon emission computed tomography imaging with ¹²³I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine were able to quantify the biodistribution in vivo in the adrenal medulla in normal mice.
