To address the most appropriate endogenous biomarker for drug–drug interaction risk assessment, eight healthy subjects received an organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B (OATP1B) inhibitor (rifampicin, 150, 300, and 600 mg), a probe drug cocktail (atorvastatin, pitavastatin, rosuvastatin, valsartan). In addition to coproporphyrin I, widely studied OATP1B biomarker, we identified at least 4 out of 28 compounds (direct bilirubin, glycochenodeoxycholate‐3‐glucuronide,...
Large pre-trained language models have been used to generate code,providing a flexible interface for synthesizing programs from natural specifications. However, they often violate syntactic and semantic rules of their output language, limiting practical usability. In this paper, we propose Synchromesh: framework substantially improving the reliability code generation. Synchromesh comprises two components. First, it retrieves few-shot examples training bank using Target Similarity Tuning...
