The Influence of St. John's Wort on the Pharmacokinetics and Protein Binding of Imatinib Mesylate
Bibliographic record
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of St. John's wort on the pharmacokinetics of imatinib mesylate. DESIGN: Open-label, complete crossover, fixed-sequence, pharmacokinetic study. SETTING: Clinical research center. SUBJECTS: Ten healthy adult volunteers. INTERVENTION: Single 400-mg oral doses of imatinib were administered before and after 2 weeks of treatment with St. John's wort 300 mg 3 times/day. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The pharmacokinetics of imatinib were significantly altered by St. John's wort, with reductions of 32% in the median area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (p=0.0001), 29% in maximum observed concentration (p=0.005), and 21% in half-life (p=0.0001). Protein binding ranged from 97.7-90.3% (mean 94.9%), was concentration independent, and was not altered by St. John's wort. Therapeutic outcomes of imatinib have been shown to correlate with both dose and drug concentrations. CONCLUSION: Coadministration of imatinib with St. John's wort may compromise imatinib's clinical efficacy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
