Part Descriptions
LP20176-1 trough
In medicine, a trough level is the lowest level that a medicine is present in the body. In a medicine that is administered periodically, the trough level should be measured just before the administration of the next dose in order to avoid overdosing. It should be contrasted with a "peak level", which is the highest level of the medicine in the body, and the "average level", which is the mean level over time. It helps in therapeutic drug monitoring. It is widely used in clinical trials for newer medicines for its therapeutic effectiveness and safety.

Trough levels for therapeutic drug monitoring
LP21368-3 Sirolimus
Sirolimus, also known as rapamycin, is a macrolide compound that inhibits lymphocyte proliferation and is used as an immunosuppressant to prevent rejection in organ transplantation. It inhibits T-cell activation and proliferation by inhibiting the response to interleukin 2 (IL-2). Its mode of action differs from that of other immunosuppressants (SN Sehga, Clin Biochem, 31:335, 1998) most notably by not being a calcineurin inhibitor. Its inhibitory action is mediated via a cytosolic protein, FK-binding protein 12. Sirolimus is variably absorbed; levels need to monitored to achieve the therapeutic target while avoiding toxic levels. Sirolimus is marketed under the trade name Rapamune.
