Contribution analysis of metabolic tissues on systemic exposure of an active metabolite after oral administration of verapamil using a stable isotope-labeled compound.

Abstract
The present study illustrates the advantage of an isotope-IV study for the contribution analysis of metabolic tissues on systemic exposure of metabolites. A model parent drug, verapamil (VER), and its metabolite, norverapamil (Nor-VER), were used. This isotope-IV study used rats with and without the pre-treatment of the CYP inhibitor 1-aminobenzotriazole (ABT), was performed by the oral administration of VER (1 mg/kg) combined with the intravenous administration of stable isotope-labeled VER (VER-d6, 0.005 mg/kg). Plasma concentration profiles of both compounds and respective metabolites (Nor-VER, Nor-VER-d6) were then evaluated by LC-MSMS. VER oral availability was increased, and the systemic clearance decreased, in addition, the relative systemic exposure of Nor-VER and Nor-VER-d6 was increased by ABT pre-treatment. PK analyses revealed that, in ABT untreated rats, most Nor-VER in systemic circulation originated from the intestinal absorption process. ABT pre-treatment increased the contribution ratio to the systemic exposure of Nor-VER from the hepatic metabolism of systemically circulated VER, and decreased the contribution ratio of intestinal metabolism. These findings indicated that the isotope-IV study may be useful for considering the PK profile of metabolites.

Minami K, Higashino H, Kataoka M, Yamashita S. Species differences in the drug-drug interaction between atorvastatin and cyclosporine: In vivo study using a stable isotope-IV method in rats and dogs. Eur J Pharm Sci 2020; 152:105409. [PMID: 32512140 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2020.105409] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2020] [Revised: 04/15/2020] [Accepted: 06/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
In this study, drug-drug interaction (DDI) between atorvastatin (ATV) and cyclosporine (CsA) was kinetically analyzed using a stable isotope-IV method in rats and dogs. Obtained results were compared with the clinical data quoted from literatures to clarify the species difference in DDI both qualitatively and quantitatively. ATV only or ATV with CsA was orally administered to rats or dogs, and at 90 minutes after administration, a small amount of deuterium labeled ATV (ATV-d5) was intravenously injected. Assuming that ATV-d5 exhibits the same pharmacokinetic (PK) profile with ATV, PK parameters for absorption and elimination of ATV were calculated. Plasma levels of orally administered ATV were significantly enhanced by co-administration of CsA both in rats, dogs and humans, resulted in 9.8, 31, and 8.7-fold increase in systemic exposure calculated as AUCpo. High intensity of the DDI in dogs was mainly attributed to the marked decrease of the intrinsic hepatic clearance (to 1/10 of the control), which was induced by the inhibition of hepatic uptake of ATV via organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1). CsA also affected the absorption of ATV form GI tract. Absorbed fraction of ATV into portal vein (calculated as Fa*Fg) was increased almost same extent in rats and dogs (around 3.0-fold) by co-administration of CsA. Inhibition of efflux transport via breast cancer resistance protein as well as the intestinal metabolism mediated by CYP enzymes contributed to the DDI occurred in the intestinal tract. In conclusion, PK analysis on the DDI between ATV and CsA in rats and dogs clearly demonstarted the factors to cause species differences in the extent of DDI. This type of quantitative analysis of DDIs in both small and large animals can be a great help to predict the extent of DDI in humans in the clinical study.

Analysis of the Complicated Nonlinear Pharmacokinetics of Orally Administered Telmisartan in Rats Using a Stable Isotope-IV Method. J Pharm Sci 2019; 108:2774-2780. [PMID: 30922857 DOI: 10.1016/j.xphs.2019.03.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2018] [Revised: 03/05/2019] [Accepted: 03/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to kinetically analyze the nonlinear absorption and systemic exposure of telmisartan (TEL) after oral administration to rats by using a stable isotope-IV method. Rats were orally administered different dose of TEL, followed by the intravenous injection of 0.005 mg/kg of deuterium-labeled TEL (TEL-d3). Assuming that TEL-d3 shows same pharmacokinetic properties with TEL, systemic clearance (CLtot), oral bioavailability (Foral), and intestinal and hepatic availability (Fa*Fg, Fh) of TEL were calculated in each individual rat. AUCpo of TEL increased disproportionately with dose and showed a sigmoid-type relation, indicating the involvement of multi-nonlinear processes in oral absorption of TEL. Fa*Fg of TEL increased with dose at the low-dose range while decreased at the high-dose range. In contrast, Fh increased and CLtot decreased significantly in the middle range (2 to 6 mg/kg). As main factors of nonlinearity, saturations of solubility, efflux transport in the intestine, and the hepatic uptake of TEL were indicated. In conclusion, this study demonstrated a high possibility of a stable isotope-IV method to characterize complicated pharmacokinetic properties of oral drugs in animals, which can help to consider the future risks in their clinical use.
