Evaluating a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model for predicting the pharmacokinetics of midazolam in Chinese after oral administration.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the SimCYP simulator ethnicity-specific population model for predicting the pharmacokinetics of midazolam, a typical CYP3A4/5 substrate, in Chinese after oral administration.The physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for midazolam was developed using a SimCYP population-based simulator incorporating Chinese population demographic, physiological and enzyme data. A clinical trial was conducted in 40 Chinese subjects (the half was females) receiving a single oral dose of 15 mg midazolam. The subjects were separated into 4 groups based on age (20-50, 51-65, 66-75, and above 76 years), and the pharmacokinetics profiles of each age- and gender-group were determined, and the results were used to verify the PBPK model.Following oral administration, the simulated profiles of midazolam plasma concentrations over time in virtual Chinese were in good agreement with the observed profiles, as were AUC and Cmax. Moreover, for subjects of varying ages (20-80 years), the ratios of predicted to observed clearances were between 0.86 and 1.12.The SimCYP PBPK model accurately predicted the pharmacokinetics of midazolam in Chinese from youth to old age. This study may provide novel insight into the prediction of CYP3A4/5-mediated pharmacokinetics in the Chinese population relative to Caucasians and other ethnic groups, which can support the rational design of bridging clinical trials.

Project description:Long-acting (LA) administration using a subcutaneous (s.c.) implant presents opportunities to simplify administration of antiretroviral drugs, improve pharmacological profiles, and overcome suboptimal adherence associated with daily oral formulations. Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) is a highly potent nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) and an attractive agent for LA delivery, with a high potency and long intracellular half-life. The aim of this study was to predict minimum TAF doses required to achieve concentrations effective for HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Daily drug release requirements were then ascertained by averaging across the dosing interval. A TAF physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was developed and partially qualified against available oral single- and multiple-dose pharmacokinetics. The models were assumed to be qualified when simulated values were within 2-fold of the observed mean. TAF s.c. implants were simulated in five hundred individuals, reporting predicted TAF plasma and tenofovir (TFV) plasma concentrations for various release rates. Intracellular TFV diphosphate (TFV-DP) concentrations were also simulated in peripheral blood cells and cervical and rectal tissues. The minimum dose predicted to achieve intracellular TFV-DP levels above a target concentration of 48 fmol/106 cells for a month was identified. TAF, TFV, and TFV-DP concentrations for release rates between 1.0 and 1.6 mg/day were simulated. The PBPK model indicated that a minimum release of 1.4 mg/day TAF is necessary to achieve TFV-DP concentrations above the identified target in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). TFV-DP cervical and rectal tissue concentrations were predicted to be between 1.5 and 2.0 fmol/106 cells and 0.9 and 1.1 fmol/106 cells, respectively, for release rates between 1.3 and 1.6 mg/day. These simulations provide target minimum doses for LA TAF PrEP in humans. Based on the generated results, multiple implants delivering a total of 1.4 mg/day of TAF subcutaneously could provide protection levels for approximately 6 months to 1 year. This modeling may inform future design of s.c. implants to mitigate adherence issues for effective PrEP applications.

Project description:Vonoprazan is characterized as having a long-lasting antisecretory effect on gastric acid. In this study we developed a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK)-pharmacodynamic (PD) model linking to stomach to simultaneously predict vonoprazan pharmacokinetics and its antisecretory effects following administration to rats, dogs, and humans based on in vitro parameters. The vonoprazan disposition in the stomach was illustrated using a limited-membrane model. In vitro metabolic and transport parameters were derived from hepatic microsomes and Caco-2 cells, respectively. We found the most predicted plasma concentrations and pharmacokinetic parameters of vonoprazan in rats, dogs and humans were within twofold errors of the observed data. Free vonoprazan concentrations (fu × C2) in the stomach were simulated and linked to the antisecretory effects of the drug (I) (increases in pH or acid output) using the fomula dI/dt = k × fu × C2 × (Imax - I) - kd × I. The vonoprazan dissociation rate constant kd (0.00246 min-1) and inhibition index KI (35 nM) for H+/K+-ATPase were obtained from literatures. The vonoprazan-H+/K+-ATPase binding rate constant k was 0.07028 min-1· μM-1 using ratio of kd to KI. The predicted antisecretory effects were consistent with the observations following intravenous administration to rats (0.7 and 1.0 mg/kg), oral administration to dogs (0.3 and 1.0 mg/kg) and oral single dose or multidose to humans (20, 30, and 40 mg). Simulations showed that vonoprazan concentrations in stomach were 1000-fold higher than those in the plasma at 24 h following administration to human. Vonoprazan pharmacokinetics and its antisecretory effects may be predicted from in vitro data using the PBPK-PD model of the stomach. These findings may highlight 24-h antisecretory effects of vonoprazan in humans following single-dose or the sustained inhibition throughout each 24-h dosing interval during multidose administration.
