The preclinical pharmacological study on HX0969W, a novel water-soluble pro-drug of propofol, in rats.

ABSTRACT: Background:Propofol is the most widely used intravenous sedative-hypnotic anesthetic in clinical practice. However, many serious side effects have been related to its lipid emulsion formulation. The pro-drug design approach was used to develop the water-soluble propofol, which could effectively resolve the limitations associated with the lipid emulsion formulation. Thus, the new water-soluble pro-drug of propofol, HX0969W, was designed and synthesized. The objective of this study was to conduct preclinical pharmacological studies on this novel water-soluble pro-drug of propofol. Methods:The assessment of the loss of the righting reflex (LoRR) was used for the pharmacodynamic study, and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography- fluorescence were used for the pharmacokinetic study. Results:The potency of HX0969W (ED50 [95% CI], 46.49 [43.89-49.29] mg/kg) was similar to that of fospropofol disodium (43.66 [43.57-43.75] mg/kg), but was lower than that of propofol (4.82 [4.8-14.82] mg/kg). Administered with a dose of 2-fold ED50, propofol required a shorter time to cause LoRR than that of HX0969W and fospropofol. However, the LoRR duration was significantly longer in response to the administration of HX0969W and fospropofol disodium than that caused by propofol. In the pharmacokinetic study, the Cmax of fospropofol was higher than that of HX0969W. HX0969W had a shorter mean residual time and a rapid clearance rate than that of fospropofol disodium. There was no significant difference between the Tmax of the propofol whether it was released by HX0969W or fospropofol disodium; the Cmax of propofol released by HX0969W was similar to that of propofol, which was higher than the propofol released by fospropofol disodium.

Project description:Introduction: Previous studies demonstrated that 35 mM QX-OH/10 mM Levobupivacaine (LL-1), a fixed-dose combination, produced a long-acting effect in rat local anesthesia models. All preclinical pharmacodynamic results indicated that LL-1 had potential for postsurgical pain treatment. The objective of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics of LL-1. Then, the possible mechanism of the extended duration by the combination was examined. Methods and Results: All experiments were examined and approved by the Committee of Animal Care of the West China Hospital Sichuan University (Ethical approval number, 2015014A). The compound action potentials were recorded to verify the pharmacodynamic result in ex vivo. In frog sciatic nerve, LL-1 produced an effective inhibition with rapid onset time. The concentration-time profiles of LL-1 were determined in plasma and local tissues after sciatic nerve block. The maximum concentration of QX-OH and levobupivacaine were 727.22 ± 43.38 µg/g and 256.02 ± 28.52 µg/g in muscle, 634.26 ± 36.04 µg/g and 429.63 ± 48.64 µg/g in sciatic nerve, and 711.71 ± 25.14 ng/ml and 114.40 ± 10.19 ng/ml in plasma, respectively. The absorption of QX-OH into circulation was very rapid at 0.71 ± 0.06 h, which was faster than that of levobupivacaine (4.11 ± 0.39 h, p = 0.003). The half-time of QX-OH in plasma and local tissues had no significant difference (p = 0.329), with the values of 2.64 h, 3.20 h, and 3.79 h in plasma, muscle, and sciatic nerve, respectively. The elimination profile of levobupivacaine differed from that of QX-OH, which was slower eliminated from plasma (4.89 ± 1.77 h, p = 0.036) than from muscle (1.38 ± 0.60 h) or sciatic nerve (1.28 ± 0.74 h). When levobupivacaine was used alone, the Tmax in plasma was 1.07 ± 0.16 h. Interestingly, the Tmax of levobupivacaine in the plasma was increased by four times in combination with QX-OH (4.11 ± 0.39 h). Levobupivacaine promotes cellular QX-OH uptake. Conclusion: The preclinical pharmacokinetic study of LL-1 in the rat plasma, muscle, and sciatic nerve was accomplished. Then, the possible mechanism of the prolonged duration was that QX-OH delayed the absorption of levobupivacaine from the injection site into circulation, and levobupivacaine accelerated QX-OH to accumulate into cells.

Project description:BackgroundErlotinib (ERL) and Gefitinib (GEF) are considered first line therapy for the management of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Like other tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), ERL and GEF are mainly metabolized by the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) CYP3A4 isoform and are substrates for transporter proteins with marked inter-/intra-individual pharmacokinetic (PK) variability. Therefore, ERL and GEF are candidates for drug-drug and food-drug interactions with a consequent effect on drug exposure and/or drug-related toxicities. In recent years, the consumption of flavoured water (FW) has gained in popularity. Among multiple ingredients, fruit extracts, which might constitute bioactive flavonoids, can possess an inhibitory effect on the CYP450 enzymes or transporter proteins. Therefore, in this study we investigated the effects of different types of FW on the PK parameters of ERL and GEF in Wistar rats.MethodsERL and GEF PK parameters in different groups of rats after four weeks consumption of different flavours of FW, namely berry, peach, lime, and pineapple, were determined from plasma drug concentrations using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS).ResultsData indicated that tested FWs altered the PK parameters of both ERL and GEF differently. Lime water had the highest impact on most of ERL and GEF PK parameters, with a significant increase in Cmax (95% for ERL, 58% for GEF), AUC0-48 (111% for ERL, 203% for GEF), and AUC0-∞ (200% for ERL, 203% for GEF), along with a significant decrease in the apparent oral clearance of both drugs (65% for ERL, 67% for GEF). The order by which FW affected the PK parameters for ERL and GEF was as follows: lime > pineapple > berry > peach.ConclusionThe present study indicates that drinking FW could be of significance in rats receiving ERL or GEF. Our results indicate that the alteration in PKs was mostly recorded with lime, resulting in an enhanced bioavailability, and reduced apparent oral clearance of the drugs. Peach FW had a minimum effect on the PK parameters of ERL and no significant effect on GEF PKs. Accordingly, it might be of clinical importance to evaluate the PK parameters of ERL and GEF in human subjects who consume FW while receiving therapy.
