Population pharmacokinetic analysis of isoniazid, acetylisoniazid, and isonicotinic acid in healthy volunteers.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we aimed to quantify the effects of the N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) phenotype on isoniazid (INH) metabolism in vivo and identify other sources of pharmacokinetic variability following single-dose administration in healthy Asian adults. The concentrations of INH and its metabolites acetylisoniazid (AcINH) and isonicotinic acid (INA) in plasma were evaluated in 33 healthy Asians who were also given efavirenz and rifampin. The pharmacokinetics of INH, AcINH, and INA were analyzed using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling (NONMEM) to estimate the population pharmacokinetic parameters and evaluate the relationships between the parameters and the elimination status (fast, intermediate, and slow acetylators), demographic status, and measures of renal and hepatic function. A two-compartment model with first-order absorption best described the INH pharmacokinetics. AcINH and INA data were best described by a two- and a one-compartment model, respectively, linked to the INH model. In the final model for INH, the derived metabolic phenotypes for NAT2 were identified as a significant covariate in the INH clearance, reducing its interindividual variability from 86% to 14%. The INH clearance in fast eliminators was 1.9- and 7.7-fold higher than in intermediate and slow eliminators, respectively (65 versus 35 and 8 liters/h). Creatinine clearance was confirmed as a significant covariate for AcINH clearance. Simulations suggested that the current dosing guidelines (200 mg for 30 to 45 kg and 300 mg for >45 kg) may be suboptimal (3 mg/liter ? Cmax ? 6 mg/liter) irrespective of the acetylator class. The analysis established a model that adequately characterizes INH, AcINH, and INA pharmacokinetics in healthy Asians. Our results refine the NAT2 phenotype-based predictions of the pharmacokinetics for INH.

Project description:The blood concentration of isoniazid (INH) is evidently affected by polymorphisms in N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2), an enzyme that is primarily responsible for the trimodal (i.e., fast, intermediate, and slow) INH elimination. The pharmacokinetic (PK) variability, driven largely by NAT2 activity, creates a challenge for the deployment of a uniform INH dosage in tuberculosis (TB) patients. Although acetylator-specific INH dosing has long been suggested, well-recognized dosages according to acetylator status remain elusive. In this study, 175 blood samples were collected from 89 pulmonary TB patients within 0.5 to 6 h after morning INH administration. According to their NAT2 genotypes, 32 (36.0%), 38 (42.7%), and 19 (21.3%) were fast, intermediate, and slow acetylators, respectively. The plasma INH concentration was detected by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Population pharmacokinetic (PPK) analysis was conducted using NONMEM and R software. A two-compartment model with first-order absorption and elimination well described the PK parameters of isoniazid. Body weight and acetylator status significantly affected the INH clearance rate. The dosage simulation targeting three indicators, including the well-recognized efficacy-safety indicator maximum concentration in serum (C max; 3 to 6??g/ml), the reported area under the concentration-time curve from 0 h to infinity (AUC0-?; ?10.52??g·h/ml), and the 2-h INH serum concentrations (?2.19??g/ml), was associated with the strongest early bactericidal activity. The optimal dosages targeting the different indicators varied from 700 to 900?mg/day, 500 to 600?mg/day, and 300?mg/day for the rapid, intermediate, and slow acetylators, respectively. Furthermore, a PPK model for isoniazid among Chinese tuberculosis patients was established for the first time and suggested doses of approximately 800?mg/day, 500?mg/day, and 300?mg/day for fast, intermediate, and slow acetylators, respectively, after a trade-off between efficacy and the occurrence of side effects.

Project description:BackgroundIntravenous belimumab 10 mg/kg every 4 weeks is indicated in patients with active, autoantibody-positive systemic lupus erythematosus receiving standard systemic lupus erythematosus care. Subcutaneous 200-mg weekly administration, which may prove more convenient for patients and improve adherence, is currently under investigation.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to characterize the population pharmacokinetics and exposure-efficacy response of subcutaneous belimumab in a pooled analysis of pharmacokinetic data [phase I: BEL114448 (NCT01583530) and BEL116119 (NCT01516450) in healthy subjects (n = 134); phase III: BEL112341 (NCT01484496) in adults with systemic lupus erythematosus (n = 554)] and pharmacodynamic data [BEL112341 in adults with systemic lupus erythematosus (n = 833)].MethodsNon-linear mixed-effects modeling (NONMEM®) was used to develop a population pharmacokinetic model and perform a covariate analysis. Subsequently, exploratory exposure-response analysis and logistic regression modeling was performed based on the individual parameter estimates of the population pharmacokinetic model.ResultsPopulation-pharmacokinetic parameters for subcutaneous belimumab were consistent with those for intravenous belimumab and other immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibodies. Pharmacokinetic parameters and subcutaneous belimumab exposure were consistent between healthy subjects and patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, and no evidence for target-mediated disposition of belimumab was found. Subcutaneous belimumab steady-state exposure was achieved after ~11 weeks; subcutaneous belimumab steady-state minimum concentration exceeded that of intravenous belimumab after <4 weeks, and average steady-state concentration was similar to that achieved following intravenous administration. In patients with moderate-to-severe systemic lupus erythematosus, subcutaneous belimumab 200 mg once weekly plus standard of care significantly improved the systemic lupus erythematosus responder index. However, at this dose, the systemic lupus erythematosus responder index response was not significantly associated with belimumab exposure concentrations.ConclusionThe analysis demonstrates that a 200-mg once-weekly dose of belimumab is appropriate for subcutaneous administration in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and that no dose adjustments are required for adult patients to maintain efficacy and safety.
