Distribution and metabolism of [14C]-resveratrol in human prostate tissue after oral administration of a "dietary-achievable" or "pharmacological" dose: what are the implications for anticancer activity?

ABSTRACT:

Background

The dietary polyphenol resveratrol prevents various malignancies in preclinical models, including prostate cancer. Despite attempts to translate findings to humans, gaps remain in understanding pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relations and how tissue concentrations affect efficacy. Such information is necessary for dose selection and is particularly important given the low bioavailability of resveratrol.

Objectives

This study aimed to determine concentrations of resveratrol in prostate tissue of men after a dietary-achievable (5 mg) or pharmacological (1 g) dose. We then examined whether clinically relevant concentrations of resveratrol/its metabolites had direct anticancer activity in prostate cell lines.

Methods

A window trial was performed in which patients were allocated to 5 mg or 1 g resveratrol daily, or no intervention, before prostate biopsy. Patients (10/group) ingested resveratrol capsules for 7-14 d before biopsy, with the last dose [14C]-labeled, allowing detection of resveratrol species in prostate tissue using accelerator MS. Cellular uptake and antiproliferative properties of resveratrol/metabolites were assessed in cancer and nonmalignant cell cultures using HPLC with UV detection and cell counting, respectively.

Results

[14C]-Resveratrol species were detectable in prostate tissue of all patients analyzed, with mean ± SD concentrations of 0.08 ± 0.04 compared with 22.1 ± 8.2 pmol/mg tissue for the 5 mg and the 1 g dose, respectively. However, total [14C]-resveratrol equivalents in prostate were lower than we previously reported in plasma and colorectum after identical doses. Furthermore, resveratrol was undetectable in prostate tissue; instead, sulfate and glucuronide metabolites dominated. Although resveratrol reduced prostate cell numbers in vitro over 7 d, the concentrations required (≥10 µM) exceeded the plasma maximum concentration. Resveratrol mono-sulfates and glucuronides failed to consistently inhibit cell growth, partly due to poor cellular uptake.

Conclusions

Low tissue concentrations of resveratrol species, coupled with weak antiproliferative activity of its conjugates, suggest daily doses of ≤1 g may not have direct effects on human prostate.This trial was registered at clinicaltrialsregister.eu as EudraCT 2007-002131-91.

Project description:PURPOSE:Anlotinib is a novel oral multi-targeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which selectively inhibits VEGFR2/3, FGFR1-4, PDGFR ?/?, c-kit, and Ret. It shows antitumor effect in patients with advanced refractory solid tumors. The detailed absorption, metabolism, and excretion pathways of anlotinib have not yet been fully investigated. METHODS:Six male patients were enrolled and divided into two groups. Group A (containing two patients) received 14.15 mg/80 µCi/subject [14C]-anlotinib hydrochloride. Group B (containing four patients) received 14.15 mg/120 µCi/subject [14C]-anlotinib hydrochloride. The blood, urine, and feces of all the six patients after orally administration of [14C]-anlotinib were collected. The absorption, metabolism, and excretion of [14C]-anlotinib were investigated, and the efficacy and safety of anlotinib were evaluated. RESULTS:In plasma, the average time to peak concentration (Tmax) of total radioactivity was 4.42 h and the average peak concentration (Cmax) of total radioactivity was 18.80 ng Eq./g. The average values of AUC0-last, AUC0-?, and MRT0-t were 4071 h.ng Eq./g, 13,555 h.ng Eq./g, and 125 h, respectively. The average recovery of total radioactivity (TRA) in urine and feces was 62.03%, accounting for 48.52% and 13.51% in feces and urine of the total dosage, respectively. The parent drug, a carboxylic metabolite (M30), and mono-oxidation products (M46/M66) were major drug-related components in human plasma. Oxidative metabolism played the major role in drug clearance in human. The major metabolic pathways include oxidative deamination to M2, mono-oxidation to M1, and the formation of M30. Adverse events occurred in five patients and severe adverse events (SAE) occurred in one. Tumor response were evaluated as stable disease (SD) in three, partial response (PR) in one, and progressive disease (PD) in one of the patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:Anlotinib had a good pharmacokinetic profile with rapid absorption, long half-life, and extensive hepatic metabolism. The adverse events and efficacy were as expected.
