Absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of molidustat in healthy participants.

ABSTRACT: The absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of molidustat were investigated in healthy male participants. In study 1, a mass balance study, radiolabelled molidustat 25 mg (3.57 MBq) was administered as an oral solution (n = 4). Following rapid absorption, molidustat-related radioactivity was predominantly distributed in plasma rather than in red blood cells. The total recovery of the administered radioactivity was 97.0%, which was mainly excreted renally (90.7%). Metabolite M-1, produced by N-glucuronidation, was the dominant component in plasma (80.2% of the area under the concentration-time curve for total radioactivity) and was primarily excreted via urine (~85% of dose). Only minor amounts of unchanged molidustat were excreted in urine (~4%) and faeces (~6%). Study 2 investigated the absolute bioavailability and pharmacodynamics of molidustat (part 1, n = 12; part 2, n = 16). Orally administered molidustat immediate release tablets had an absolute bioavailability of 59%. Following intravenous administration (1, 5 and 25 mg), total body clearance of molidustat was 28.7-34.5 L/h and volume of distribution at steady state was 39.3-50.0 L. All doses of molidustat transiently elevated endogenous erythropoietin levels, irrespective of the route of administration. Molidustat was considered safe and well tolerated at the administered doses.

Project description:A reliable translation of in vitro and preclinical data on drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) to humans is important for safe and effective drug development. Precision medicine that is expected to provide the right clinical dose for the right patient at the right time requires a comprehensive understanding of population factors affecting drug disposition and response. Characterization of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters for the protein abundance and their interindividual as well as differential tissue and cross-species variabilities is important for translational ADME and precision medicine. This review first provides a brief overview of quantitative proteomics principles including liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry tools, data acquisition approaches, proteomics sample preparation techniques, and quality controls for ensuring rigor and reproducibility in protein quantification data. Then, potential applications of quantitative proteomics in the translation of in vitro and preclinical data as well as prediction of interindividual variability are discussed in detail with tabulated examples. The applications of quantitative proteomics data in physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling for ADME prediction are discussed with representative case examples. Finally, various considerations for reliable quantitative proteomics analysis for translational ADME and precision medicine and the future directions are discussed. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Quantitative proteomics analysis of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters in humans and preclinical species provides key physiological information that assists in the translation of in vitro and preclinical data to humans. This review provides the principles and applications of quantitative proteomics in characterizing in vitro, ex vivo, and preclinical models for translational research and interindividual variability prediction. Integration of these data into physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling is proving to be critical for safe, effective, timely, and cost-effective drug development.

Project description:BackgroundAlmonertinib Mesilate Tablets (HS-10296, Hansoh Pharma, Shanghai, China) is a novel and selective third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI). A phase I study of almonertinib in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) demonstrated a linear metabolic trend, a good tolerability/safety profile, and preliminary antitumor activity. However, the metabolism, excretion, and substance balance of almonertinib has not been clearly determined. Here, we investigated the pharmacokinetic characteristics and safety profile of almonertinib following a single oral dose (110 mg/50 µCi) in healthy Chinese male participants.MethodsTotal radioactivity (TRA) in whole blood, plasma, urine, and feces was measured by utilizing a liquid scintillation counter to obtain almonertinib substance balance data. The pharmacokinetic parameters of [14C]almonertinib and the parent drug almonertinib in whole blood and plasma were analyzed with noncompartmental analysis in the WinNonlin software (Pharsight Corp). The major metabolites in plasma, urine, and feces were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with an online or offline isotope detector. The safety of the drug was evaluated after administration.ResultsThe safety and tolerability of a single oral dose of 110 mg/50 µCi [14C] almonertinib suspension were good in healthy Chinese male participants. There was no significant abnormality or special adverse reaction. TRA peaked quickly in plasma, with a Tmax of 4.0 h; however, TRA was cleared slowly in vivo, with a mean terminal elimination phase (half-life, T1/2) of up to 863 h. In addition to the parent drug, a total of 26 metabolites in blood, urine, and feces were analyzed. In plasma, parent drug was the major drug-related component, accounting for 69.97% of TRA, and M440 (almonertinib-M2 demethyl product) was the major metabolite, accounting for 5.08% of TRA; in urine, parent drug accounted for 0.48% of the dose administered and HAS-719 was the major metabolite, accounting for 1.20% of the administered dose; in feces, parent drug was about 8.61% of the dose administered and HAS-719 was the major metabolite, accounting for 12.33% of the administered dose, which was followed by M541a/M470a and M617/M575, accounting for 11.8% and 6.76% of the administered dose, respectively.ConclusionsAlmonertinib has a good safety profile, with parent drug as its main circulating component. almonertinib is extensively metabolized in vivo before excretion and is excreted as a parent drug and metabolites mainly via feces.Trial registrationThe trial registration number: CTR20192291.
