Influence of CYP2C8*2 on the pharmacokinetics of pioglitazone in healthy African-American volunteers.

ABSTRACT: To determine the influence of the Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8*2 polymorphism on pioglitazone pharmacokinetics in healthy African-American volunteers.Prospective, open-label, single-dose pharmacokinetic study.University of Colorado Hospital Clinical and Translational Research Center.Healthy African-American volunteers between 21 and 60 years of age were enrolled in the study based on CYP2C8 genotype: CYP2C8*1/*1 (9 participants), CYP2C8*1/*2 (7 participants), and CYP2C8*2/*2 (1 participant).Participants received a single 15-mg dose of pioglitazone in the fasted state, followed by a 48-hour pharmacokinetic study.Plasma concentrations of pioglitazone and its M-III (keto) and M-IV (hydroxy) metabolites were compared between participants with the CYP2C8*1/*1 genotype and CYP2C8*2 carriers. Pioglitazone area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC)0-? and half-life (t1/2 ) did not differ significantly between CYP2C8*1/*1 and CYP2C8*2 carriers (AUC0-? 7331 ± 2846 vs 10431 ± 5090 ng*h/ml, p=0.15, t1/2 7.4 ± 2.7 vs 10.5 ± 4.0 h, p=0.07). M-III and M-IV AUC0-48 also did not differ significantly between genotype groups. However, the M-III:pioglitazone AUC0-48 ratio was significantly lower in CYP2C8*2 carriers than CYP2C8*1 homozygotes (0.70 ± 0.15 vs 1.2 ± 0.37, p=0.006). Similarly, CYP2C8*2 carriers had a significantly lower M-III:M-IV AUC0-48 ratio than participants with the CYP2C8*1/*1 genotype (0.82 ± 0.26 vs 1.22 ± 0.26, p=0.006).These data suggest that CYP2C8*2 influences pioglitazone pharmacokinetics in vivo, particularly the AUC0-48 ratio of M-III:parent drug, and the AUC0-48 ratio of M-III:M-IV. Larger studies are needed to further investigate the impact of CYP2C8*2 on the pharmacokinetics of CYP2C8 substrates in individuals of African descent.

Project description:Over 30 years ago, black Africans from Kenya and Ghana were shown to metabolize acetaminophen faster by glucuronidation and slower by oxidation compared with white Scottish Europeans. The objectives of this study were to determine whether similar differences exist between African-Americans and European-Americans, and to identify genetic polymorphisms that could explain these potential differences. Acetaminophen plasma pharmacokinetics and partial urinary metabolite clearances via glucuronidation, sulfation, and oxidation were determined in healthy African-Americans (18 men, 23 women) and European-Americans (34 men, 20 women) following a 1-g oral dose. There were no differences in acetaminophen total plasma, glucuronidation, or sulfation clearance values between African-Americans and European-Americans. However, median oxidation clearance was 37% lower in African-Americans versus European-Americans (0.57 versus 0.90 ml/min per kilogram; P = 0.0001). Although acetaminophen total or metabolite clearance values were not different between genders, shorter plasma half-life values (by 11-14%; P < 0.01) were observed for acetaminophen, acetaminophen glucuronide, and acetaminophen sulfate in women versus men. The UGT2B15*2 polymorphism was associated with variant-allele-number proportional reductions in acetaminophen total clearance (by 15-27%; P < 0.001) and glucuronidation partial clearance (by 23-48%; P < 0.001). UGT2B15 *2/*2 genotype subjects also showed higher acetaminophen protein-adduct concentrations than *1/*2 (by 42%; P = 0.003) and *1/*1 (by 41%; P = 0.003) individuals. Finally, CYP2E1 *1D/*1D genotype African-Americans had lower oxidation clearance than *1C/*1D (by 42%; P = 0.041) and *1C/*1C (by 44%; P = 0.048) African-Americans. Consequently, African-Americans oxidize acetaminophen more slowly than European-Americans, which may be partially explained by the CYP2E1*1D polymorphism. UGT2B15*2 influences acetaminophen pharmacokinetics in both African-Americans and European-Americans.

Project description:BackgroundSubanesthetic ketamine may reduce perioperative consumption of opioids. We studied whether intravenous S-ketamine alters the pharmacokinetics of oral morphine in healthy volunteers.MethodsIn this paired, randomized, double-blind, crossover trial, 12 participants under a 2-hour intravenous S-ketamine (0.57 mg/kg/h) or placebo infusion received oral morphine (0.2 mg/kg) at 30 minutes. Plasma concentrations of ketamine, morphine, and their major metabolites were quantified for 24 hours. The primary end point was area under the curve (AUC)0-24 of morphine. Other pharmacokinetic variables for morphine and its metabolites were studied as secondary end points. The data were analyzed as between-phase comparisons for each participant using Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank tests (tmax) or paired t-tests on log-transformed variables (other variables).ResultsWhile the AUC0-24 was similar between the 2 phases, S-ketamine reduced the AUC0-1.5 of oral morphine by 69% (ratio to control, 0.31; 90% confidence interval [CI], 0.15-0.65; P = .0171) and increased its tmax from 0.5 (range, 0.50-1.5) to 1.0 hour (range, 0.50-4.0; P = .010). The AUC0-1.5 of morphine-6-glucuronide (M6G) was reduced by 84% (0.16; 90% CI, 0.07-0.37; P = .0025) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) by 43% (0.57; 90% CI, 0.40-0.81; P = .0155), while its tmax was increased from 1.5 (range, 1.0-2.0) to 4.0 (range, 1.0-8.0; P = .0094) hours by S-ketamine. Similarly, the AUC0-1.5 of morphine-3-glucuronide (M3G) was reduced by 85% (0.15; 90% CI, 0.05-0.43; P = .0083), and tmax increased from 1.0 (range, 0.5-1.5) to 4.0 hours (range, 1.0-8.0; P = .0063). In addition, the M6G-to-morphine and M3G-to-morphine metabolic AUC ratios were decreased by 47% (0.53; 90% CI, 0.39-0.71; P = .0033) and 52% (0.48; 90% CI, 0.27-0.85; P = .0043) during 0 to 1.5 hours and by 15% (0.85; 90% CI, 0.78-0.92; P = .0057) and 10% (0.90; 90% CI, 0.83-0.98; P = .0468) during 0 to 24 hours, respectively. One participant was excluded from the analyses due to vomiting in the S-ketamine phase.ConclusionsIntravenous S-ketamine inhibited the metabolism of oral morphine and delayed its absorption, resulting in a net reduction in the exposure to morphine during the first 1.5 hours. Intravenous S-ketamine may delay the absorption and impair the efficacy of orally administered analgesics and other drugs.

Project description:Finafloxacin is a novel fluoroquinolone exhibiting enhanced activity under acidic conditions and a broad-spectrum antibacterial profile. The present study assessed the pharmacokinetic properties and the safety and tolerability of finafloxacin following intravenous infusions. In this mixed-parallel-group, crossover study, healthy male and female volunteers received single ascending doses (18 volunteers, 200 to 1,000 mg) or multiple ascending doses (40 volunteers, 600 to 1,000 mg) of finafloxacin or placebo. Plasma and urine samples were collected by a dense sampling scheme to determine the pharmacokinetics of finafloxacin using a noncompartmental approach. Standard safety and tolerability data were documented. Finafloxacin had a volume of distribution of 90 to 127 liters (range) at steady state and 446 to 550 liters at pseudoequilibrium, indicating the elimination of a large fraction before pseudoequilibrium was reached. Areas under the concentration-time curves and maximum plasma concentrations (geometric means) increased slightly more than proportionally (6.73 to 45.9 ?g · h/ml and 2.56 to 20.2 ?g/ml, respectively), the terminal elimination half-life increased (10.6 to 17.1 h), and the urinary recovery decreased (44.2% to 31.7%) with increasing finafloxacin doses (single doses of 200 to 1,000 mg). The pharmacokinetic profiles suggested multiphasic elimination by both glomerular filtration and saturable tubular secretion. The values of the parameters were similar for single and multiple administrations. The coefficient of variation for the between-subject variability of exposure ranged from 10% (?600 mg) to 38% (>600 mg). Adverse events were mild and nonspecific, with no dependence of adverse events on dose or treatment (including placebo) being detected. Despite a relatively high interindividual variability at higher doses, the level of exposure following intravenous administration of finafloxacin appears to be predictable. Individual elimination processes should be evaluated in more detail. Finafloxacin exhibited a favorable safety and tolerability profile.

Project description:BackgroundVivax malaria is a neglected disease. There is an irrefutable need for better treatments with higher acceptability and efficacy. The treatment efficacy is influenced by many factors, including bioavailability. Hence, a straightforward strategy to improve vivax malaria treatment efficacy is the deployment of good quality formulations of primaquine and chloroquine. As these treatments were developed more than 70 years ago, many of the available data on blood levels of both drugs are based on obsolete analytical methodologies or pharmaceutical formulations, which are not available anymore. Herein, the results of three bioequivalence studies are presented, providing individual pharmacokinetic data on chloroquine and primaquine of more than a hundred healthy volunteers and using up-to-date analytical methods.MethodsThree trials were designed as a single centre, randomized, single dose, open label, fasting, crossover bioequivalence studies comparing a new coated chloroquine tablet to the uncoated tablet, and 5 and 15 mg primaquine formulations to either an international reference product or the currently distributed tablets. Plasma concentrations of chloroquine and primaquine were measured using a validated HPLC-MS/MS method in accordance with current international regulatory requirements for bio-analytical methods.ResultsIn total, a hundred eleven healthy volunteers of both genders were included in the three studies (n = 32; 30 and 56 respectively). No serious adverse events occurred. Drugs levels were measured in 5,520 blood samples. The estimated ratio of the geometric means of Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-inf of test and reference drugs and their 90% CI for chloroquine 150 mg, primaquine 15 mg and primaquine 5 mg were: 95.33% (89.18; 101.90), 86. 85% (82.61; 91.31), and 84.45% (76.95; 92.67); 93.28% (81.76; 106.41), 94.52% (86.13; 103.73) and 93.93% (85.83; 102.79); 97.44% (90.60; 104.78), 93.70% (87.04; 100.87) and 91.36% (85.27; 97.89), respectively. As Cmax and AUC0-t 90% CI were within the acceptance interval of 80-125% in all cases, the formulations tested were bioequivalent.ConclusionsIn conclusion, the three studies provided detailed chloroquine and primaquine pharmacokinetic data in accordance with current regulatory standards. Together with other open data initiatives, this individual data may increase the accuracy of pharmacokinetic models guiding best dose, new combinations, regimens and formulations to optimize the current chloroquine and primaquine treatments for vivax malaria. The data presented here may support the deployment of high-quality drugs and evidence-based public health policies.

Project description:WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS SUBJECT: A single nucleotide polymorphism in ABCB1, which encodes P-glycoprotein, has retrospectively been associated with symptoms of nortriptyline-induced postural hypotension in depressed patients. This finding needs to be replicated in independent studies before recommendations regarding pharmacogenetic testing can be made. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS: In a prospective study of healthy volunteers homozygous for ABCB1 (1236-2677-3435, TTT/TTT or CGC/CGC), a single dose of nortriptyline was administered, plasma exposure was determined and blood pressure and heart rate were monitored during posture change. No differences between ABCB1 haplotype groups were found in plasma exposure of nortriptyline and its active metabolites, E- and Z-10-hydroxynortriptyline. The heart rate response to posture change was increased with nortriptyline, whereas there was no difference in blood pressure response. However, no differences between haplotype groups were observed except that the pre dose heart rate response to standing was greater in the TTT than CGC homozygotes. The association between ABCB1 polymorphisms and nortriptyline-induced postural hypotension found in a previous study could not be confirmed. The results raise the possibility of a predisposition in heart rate response in the TTT homozygotes rather than an effect of nortriptyline. AIMS To investigate the influence of ABCB1 (1236-2677-3435) polymorphisms on nortriptyline pharmacokinetics and nortriptyline-induced postural hypotension in healthy volunteers. METHODS: Genetic screening of 67 healthy volunteers identified eight CGC homozygotes and nine TTT homozygotes of ABCB1 (1236-2677-3435), who were administered a single dose of nortriptyline 25?mg. Plasma exposure of nortriptyline and its active metabolites, E- and Z-10-hydroxynortriptyline, was determined over 72?h. Heart rate and blood pressure responses to posture change (active standing and passive head-up tilt) were measured continuously using finger plethysmography. RESULTS: There were no differences in plasma exposure between ABCB1 haplotype groups, as the geometric mean (95% CI) AUC(0,72?h) ratios were 0.98 (0.94, 1.03), 1.02 (0.96, 1.09) and 0.95 (0.80, 1.10) for nortriptyline, E- and Z-10-hydroxynortriptyline, respectively. The pre dose heart rate response to standing was greater in the TTT than CGC homozygotes (mean (95% CI) difference 7.4 (1.5, 13.4) beats?min(-1) , P?=?0.02). At t(max) at 8?h post dose, nortriptyline increased the heart rate response to posture change in all subjects with mean (95% CI) ? heart rate values of 7.4 (3.6, 11.3) beats?min(-1) on active standing (P?=?0.0009) and 4.8 (2.0, 7.6) beats?min(-1) on head-up tilt (P?=?0.002), but no difference was observed between haplotype groups. There was no difference in blood pressure response to posture change in either group. CONCLUSION: The association between ABCB1 polymorphisms and nortriptyline-induced postural hypotension found in the previous study could not be confirmed. The results raise the possibility of a predisposition in heart rate response in the TTT homozygotes rather than an effect of nortriptyline.
