VKORC1-dependent pharmacokinetics of intravenous and oral phylloquinone (vitamin K1) mixed micelles formulation.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The pharmacokinetics of phylloquinone (vitamin K1) were evaluated in healthy human adult volunteers (15 male and 15 female) following oral and intravenous administration of a mixed micelles formulation (Konakion MM 2 mg) in an open label study design. The subjects were allocated to one of three genotype-specific groups (n = 10 in each group) in terms of VKORC1 promoter polymorphism c.-1639 G > A to explore the relationship between genotype and pharmacokinetic parameters.

Methods

Blood samples were collected for up to 24 h after administration. Phylloquinone serum levels were determined by reversed phase HPLC with fluorometric detection after post-column zinc reduction. Pharmacokinetic evaluation was performed using non-compartmental analysis.

Results

Pharmacokinetic analysis of serum phylloquinone concentration versus time profiles revealed significant differences in the main pharmacokinetic parameters between groups. Upon oral administration, VKORC1 AG carriers showed 41 % higher mean bioavailability (p = 0.01) compared with homozygous AA individuals. Furthermore, AG subjects exhibited 30 % (p = 0.042) and 36 % (p = 0.021) higher mean AUC compared with GG and AA respectively. Terminal half-life was 32 % and 27 % longer for AG carriers in comparison to GG (p = 0.004) and AA (p = 0.015) genotypes respectively.

Conclusion

Pharmacokinetic differences indicated significant inter-individual variance of vitamin K fate in the human body. The influence of the VKORC1 promoter polymorphism c.-1639 G > A on the pharmacokinetic properties of phylloquinone could be demonstrated in humans. To gain deeper insight in other potential genetic determinants of systemic vitamin K exposure, further correlation of the phenotype-genotype relationship of different players in vitamin K turnover has to be gained.

Project description:Lotilaner is a new oral ectoparasiticide from the isoxazoline class developed for the treatment of flea and tick infestations in dogs. It is formulated as pure S-enantiomer in flavoured chewable tablets (Credelio™). The pharmacokinetics of lotilaner were thoroughly determined after intravenous and oral administration and under different feeding regimens in dogs.Twenty-six adult beagle dogs were enrolled in a pharmacokinetic study evaluating either intravenous or oral administration of lotilaner. Following the oral administration of 20 mg/kg, under fed or fasted conditions, or intravenous administration of 3 mg/kg, blood samples were collected up to 35 days after treatment. The effects of timing of offering food and the amount of food consumed prior or after dosing on bioavailability were assessed in a separate study in 25 adult dogs. Lotilaner blood concentrations were measured using a validated liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by non-compartmental analysis. In addition, in vivo enantiomer stability was evaluated in an analytical study.Following oral administration in fed animals, lotilaner was readily absorbed and peak blood concentrations reached within 2 hours. The terminal half-life was 30.7 days. Food enhanced the absorption, providing an oral bioavailability above 80% and reduced the inter-individual variability. Moreover, the time of feeding with respect to dosing (fed 30 min prior, fed at dosing or fed 30 min post-dosing) or the reduction of the food ration to one-third of the normal daily ration did not impact bioavailability. Following intravenous administration, lotilaner had a low clearance of 0.18 l/kg/day, large volumes of distribution Vz and Vss of 6.35 and 6.45 l/kg, respectively and a terminal half-life of 24.6 days. In addition, there was no in vivo racemization of lotilaner.The pharmacokinetic properties of lotilaner administered orally as a flavoured chewable tablet (Credelio™) were studied in detail. With a Tmax of 2 h and a terminal half-life of 30.7 days under fed conditions, lotilaner provides a rapid onset of flea and tick killing activity with consistent and sustained efficacy for at least 1 month.
