Dissolution tests of acetaminophen filled into the gelatin capsules (SHIONOGI QUALICAPS, Japan) and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) capsules (SHIONOGI QUALICAPS, Japan) were performed after the cap-sules were stored under conditions of 30°C/60%RH for one year, 40°C/75%RH for 6 months, or 60°C for one week. The Japanese Pharmacopoeia 1st fluid, acetic acid buffer (pH4.0), Japanese Pharmacopoeia 2nd fluid and purified water were used as dissolution media. The dissolution profiles of the gelatin capsules changed significantly in comparison to those of the initial profiles after the capsules were stored at 40°C/75%RH for 6 months or 60°C for one week. On the other hand, no delay in dissolution was observed for the HPMC capsules.Dissolution tests were additionally conduced using three commercially available HPMC capsules (SHIONOGI QUALICAPS, Japan ; CAPSUGEL, USA ; SHOGHUN, Korea), and the dissolution profiles of the HPMC capsules of SHIONOGI QUALICAPS were thus found to be independent of the dissolution medium, while the others showed different dissolution profiles depending on the dissolution medium.

Recently, high dose gentamicin (GM) has started to be used for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Previously, since the intravenous infusion of GM for 1h once a week at a dose of 7.5mg/kg/day had caused no significant adverse events in a course of therapy lasting 6 months, we decided to try conducting such therapy for four courses in the present study. We continuously assessed renal function by monitoring serum creatinine, serum cystatin C (Cys-C), serum urea nitrogen (BUN), urinary β_2-microglobulin and urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) activity. Serum creatinine levels were found to be much lower than the normal range, while, at 0.65 to 0.78μg/mL, serum Cys-C levels, were within the normal range and so was BUN, suggesting that the glomerular filtration rate in the DMD patients receiving GM therapy was being maintained in the normal range. Therapeutic drug monitoring of GM indicated that it was being rapidly eliminated from the systemic circulation though a slight elevation of urinary NAG activity in 1 patient indicated the possibility of impaired renal proximal tubules. It will thus be necessary to optimize our patient management strategy.
