Project description:Resistance to the antiplatelet treatment with clopidogrel has both genetic and non-genetic causes. Polymorphic variants of cytochrome P450 3A4 isoenzyme involved in the bioactivation of clopidogrel might have an influence on responsiveness to the drug. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of CYP3A4*1G (IVS10+12G>A, rs2242480) on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of clopidogrel.CYP3A4*1G polymorphism was determined in a group of 82 patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and taking 75 mg of clopidogrel daily. Concentrations of clopidogrel and its metabolites, inactive carboxylic acid derivative and two diastereoisomers of active thiol metabolite: H3 and H4, were determined by a validated HPLC-MS/MS method. Pharmacodynamic effect was measured by an impedance method with a Multiplate analyzer. Moreover, an effect of factors, such as CYP2C19 phenotype, age, gender, body mass index and interactions with drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 were also investigated.In the studied group allele frequencies were: wt-0.921, *1G-0.079. Pharmacokinetic parameters of clopidogrel and its metabolites were not significantly different in carriers of *1G allele, comparing to wt/wt homozygotes. Platelet aggregation was higher in heterozygotes than in wt/wt carriers; however, the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.484). In a multivariate analysis, which included age, body mass index, co-morbidities and coadministered drugs, CYP3A4*1G was not a predictor of values of H3 and H4 pharmacokinetic parameters and platelet aggregation.CYP3A4*1G might not be a significant contributor to the variability in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic response to clopidogrel therapy.

Project description:To investigate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic differences of zolpidem between males and females and their causes, including CYP3A4 activity. A single oral dose of zolpidem (10 mg) was administered to 15 male and 15 female healthy subjects. Blood samples were collected up to 12 h post-dose to determine plasma zolpidem concentrations. Pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained using non-compartmental analysis. Digit symbol substitution test, choice reaction time, and visual analog scale of sleepiness were used to evaluate pharmacodynamics. We measured CYP3A4 activity using 4β-hydroxycholesterol, an endogenous metabolite. Mean maximum plasma concentration and area under the plasma concentration-time curve were higher for females than for males (9.9% and 32.5%, respectively); other pharmacokinetic parameters showed no significant differences. Pharmacodynamic scores for females showed delayed recovery compared with that for males. CYP3A4 activity was higher in females than in males (p = 0.030). There was no serious adverse event, and adverse event incidence was not different between the sexes. Zolpidem exposure was about 30% higher in females than in males. Delayed pharmacodynamic score recovery in females could be related to higher zolpidem concentrations. Although apparent clearance was lower in females, systemic clearance might not be the cause of the different exposures to zolpidem.

Project description:Positron emission tomography (PET) studies of dopamine receptor occupancy can be used to assess dosing of antipsychotics. Typically, studies of antipsychotics have applied pharmacodynamic (PD) modeling alone to characterize the relationship between antipsychotic dose and its effect on the brain. However, a limitation of this approach is that it does not account for the discrepancy between the time courses of plasma concentration and receptor occupancy by antipsychotics. Combined pharmacokinetic-PD (PK-PD) modeling, by incorporating the time dependence of occupancy, is better suited for the reliable analysis of the concentration-occupancy relationship. To determine the effect of time on the concentration-occupancy relationship as a function of analysis approach, we measured dopamine receptor occupancy after the administration of aripiprazole using [(11)C]raclopride PET and obtained serial measurements of the plasma aripiprazole concentration in 18 volunteers. We then developed a PK-PD model for the relationship, and compared it with conventional approach (PD modeling alone). The hysteresis characteristics were observed in the competitor concentration-occupancy relationship and the value of EC(50) was different according to the analysis approach (EC(50) derived from PD modeling alone=11.1 ng/mL (95% confidence interval (CI)=10.1 to 12.1); while that derived from combined PK-PD modeling=8.63 ng/mL (95% CI=7.75 to 9.51)). This finding suggests that PK-PD modeling is required to obtain reliable prediction of brain occupancy by antipsychotics.

Project description:Background and objectivesBilastine is a novel second-generation antihistamine for the symptomatic treatment of allergic rhinitis and urticaria. The objective of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and tolerability of bilastine following single and multiple oral doses in healthy Japanese subjects. The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles were compared with those reported in Caucasian subjects.MethodsIn a single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, single- and multiple-ascending dose study, bilastine tablets were administered at single doses of 10, 20, and 50 mg (Part I), and once daily for 14 days at 20 and 50 mg (Part II).ResultsAfter single oral doses, maximum plasma concentrations (C max) were reached at 1.0-1.5 h postdose. Plasma exposure [C max and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC)] increased dose-proportionally at single doses of 10-50 mg. In repeated-dose administration, no remarkable differences were observed between Day 1 and Day 14 for C max or AUC. For inhibitory effects on wheal and flare response, bilastine 20 and 50 mg showed significant inhibition from 1.5 h after administration as compared with placebo, and the significant effect persisted for 24 h after administration. The rates of adverse events (AEs) were comparable between bilastine and placebo in both Part I and Part II. In addition, no dose- or administration period-dependent tendency of increase in rate of AEs or worsening of severity was observed.ConclusionBilastine exhibits similar single- and multiple-dose pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics in healthy Japanese subjects compared with those observed in Caucasian subjects in previous studies.

Project description:The anticonvulsant carbamazepine is frequently used in the long-term therapy of epilepsy and is a known substrate and inducer of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 and CYP2B6. Carbamazepine induces the metabolism of various drugs (including its own); on the other hand, its metabolism can be affected by various CYP inhibitors and inducers. The aim of this work was to develop a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) parent-metabolite model of carbamazepine and its metabolite carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide, including carbamazepine autoinduction, to be applied for drug-drug interaction (DDI) prediction. The model was developed in PK-Sim, using a total of 92 plasma concentration-time profiles (dosing range 50-800 mg), as well as fractions excreted unchanged in urine measurements. The carbamazepine model applies metabolism by CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 to produce carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide, metabolism by CYP2B6 and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 2B7 and glomerular filtration. The carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide model applies metabolism by epoxide hydroxylase 1 (EPHX1) and glomerular filtration. Good DDI performance was demonstrated by the prediction of carbamazepine DDIs with alprazolam, bupropion, erythromycin, efavirenz and simvastatin, where 14/15 DDI AUClast ratios and 11/15 DDI Cmax ratios were within the prediction success limits proposed by Guest et al. The thoroughly evaluated model will be freely available in the Open Systems Pharmacology model repository.

Project description:The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus is high and growing rapidly. Suboptimal glycemic control provides opportunities for new treatment options to improve the morbidity and mortality of this progressive disease. Saxagliptin, a selective DPP-4 inhibitor, increases endogenous incretin levels and incretin acitivty. In controlled clinical trials saxagliptin reduces both fasting and postprandial glucose and works in monotherapy and in combination with metformin, TZDs and sulfonylureas. Saxagliptin has a very favourable side effect profile and may have other beneficial non-glycemic effects. The authors review the current available evidence for the safety, efficacy and saxagliptin's place in therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus. As understanding of the incretin hormones (GLP-1, GIP) expand we may see additional important non-glycemic effects that may affect the chronic management of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Project description:The cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor dalcetrapib has been under evaluation for its potential to prevent cardiovascular (CV) events for almost two decades. The current clinical development program, representing new advances in precision medicine and focused on a genetically defined population with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), is supported by a large body of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data as well as substantial clinical experience in over 13,000 patients and volunteers. Dalcetrapib treatment of 600 mg/day produces significant inhibition of CETP activity, and has been utilized in phase II and III studies, including CV endpoint trials. Numerous studies have investigated the interactions between dalcetrapib and most drugs commonly prescribed to CV patients and have not demonstrated any clinically significant effects. Evaluations in patients with renal and hepatic impairment demonstrate a greater exposure to dalcetrapib than in the non-impaired population, but long-term clinical studies including patients with mild to moderate hepatic and renal dysfunction demonstrate no increase in adverse events. Safety pharmacology and toxicology studies as well as the clinical safety experience support the continuing development of dalcetrapib as an adjunct to 'standard of care' for the ACS population. This article provides a full review of the pharmacokinetics, as well as pharmacodynamics and pharmacology, of dalcetrapib in the context of a large clinical program.

Project description:Afatinib is an oral, irreversible ErbB family blocker that covalently binds to the kinase domains of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), human EGFRs (HER) 2, and HER4, resulting in irreversible inhibition of tyrosine kinase autophosphorylation. Studies in healthy volunteers and patients with advanced solid tumours have shown that once-daily afatinib has time-independent pharmacokinetic characteristics. Maximum plasma concentrations of afatinib are reached approximately 2-5 h after oral administration and thereafter decline, at least bi-exponentially. Food reduces total exposure to afatinib. Over the clinical dose range of 20-50 mg, afatinib exposure increases slightly more than dose proportional. Afatinib metabolism is minimal, with unchanged drug predominantly excreted in the faeces and approximately 5 % in urine. Apart from the parent drug afatinib, the major circulation species in human plasma are the covalently bound adducts to plasma protein. The effective elimination half-life is approximately 37 h, consistent with an accumulation of drug exposure by 2.5- to 3.4-fold based on area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) after multiple dosing. The pharmacokinetic profile of afatinib is consistent across a range of patient populations. Age, ethnicity, smoking status and hepatic function had no influence on afatinib pharmacokinetics, while females and patients with low body weight had increased exposure to afatinib. Renal function is correlated with afatinib exposure, but, as for sex and body weight, the effect size for patients with severe renal impairment (approximately 50 % increase in AUC) is only mildly relative to the extent of unexplained interpatient variability in afatinib exposure. Afatinib has a low potential as a victim or perpetrator of drug-drug interactions, especially with cytochrome P450-modulating agents. However, concomitant treatment with potent inhibitors or inducers of the P-glycoprotein transporter can affect the pharmacokinetics of afatinib. At a dose of 50 mg, afatinib does not have proarrhythmic potential.

Project description:Cefiderocol is a new broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic with promising activity against various Gram-negative bacteria including carbapenem-resistant strains. A chlorocatechol group in the C-3 side chain provides cefiderocol with a siderophore activity, improving its stability against β-lactamases and facilitating the transportation of cefiderocol across outer bacterial membranes. Cefiderocol shows linear pharmacokinetics over a broad range of clinically relevant doses, with unchanged renal excretion constituting the main route of elimination. Geometric means (coefficient of variation) of the volume of distribution and clearance in individuals with normal kidney function were 15.8 (15%) L and 4.70 (27%) L/h, respectively. In patients with end-stage renal disease, clearance was 1.10 (24%) L/h. Time above the minimum inhibitory concentration is the main predictor of efficacy. There is no evidence for clinically relevant interactions of cefiderocol with other drugs mediated by metabolizing enzymes or drug transporters. Simulations based on population pharmacokinetic modeling suggest that dosing regimens should be adjusted based on kidney function to optimize therapeutic exposure to cefiderocol. Clinical efficacy trials indicated that cefiderocol is non-inferior to imipenem/cilastatin in the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections and acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis, and to meropenem in the treatment of nosocomial pneumonia. In the one study currently available, cefiderocol performed similarly to the best available therapy in the treatment of severe carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative infections regarding clinical and microbiological efficacy. In summary, cefiderocol shows favorable pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic properties and an acceptable safety profile, suggesting that cefiderocol might be a viable option to treat infections with bacteria resistant to other antibiotics.

Project description:Micafungin is a selective inhibitor of the synthesis of fungal 1,3-β-D-glucan, an essential component of the fungal cell wall. It is available as a powder for infusion only and is registered for the treatment of invasive and esophageal candidiasis in addition to prophylaxis of Candida infections in both adults and children. Average exposure after a single intravenous 100 mg dose in healthy adults is 133 mg h/L. Both exposure and maximum plasma concentration show linear dose proportional pharmacokinetics (PK) over a 0.15-8 mg/kg dose range. In healthy adults, the clearance (CL) is 10.4 mL/h/kg and volume of distribution is 0.2 L/kg; both are independent of the dose. Micafungin is metabolized by arylsulfatase, catechol-O-methyltransferase, and several cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzymes (3A4, 1A2, 2B6 and 2C), but no dose adjustments are necessary in patients with (severe) hepatic dysfunction. Exposure to micafungin is lower in hematology patients, and is even further lowered in critically ill patients (including burn patients) compared with healthy volunteers, which might have consequences for treatment efficacy. In children, an increased CL has been reported: 40-80 mL/h/kg in premature neonates and 20 mL/h/kg in children >4 months of age. Therefore, relatively higher doses of 4-10 mg/kg in premature neonates and 2-4 mg/kg in children with invasive candidiasis are used. However, these higher CLs may also be explained by the eightfold higher free fraction of unbound micafungin in premature neonates, meaning that an augmented dose might not be required.
