Avaliação da bioequivalência entre comprimido convencional e comprimido de desintegração oral contendo 8 mg de ondansetrona / Evaluation of bioequivalence of conventional tablet and orally disintegrating tablet containing 8 mg ondansetron

Armando, Yara Popst 22 September 2008 (has links)
A ondansetrona (1,2,3,9-tetrahidro-9-metil-3-[(2-metil-1H-imidazol-1-il)metil]-4H-carbazol-ona) é o primeiro fármaco da classe dos antagonistas seletivos dos receptores de serotonina 5-HT3. É utilizada na prevenção de náusea e vômito induzidos por agentes quimioterápicos. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a equivalência terapêutica através da análise da bioequivalência de dois produtos contendo 8 mg de ondansetrona, sendo um sob a forma de comprimidos de liberação convencional e outro sob a forma de comprimidos de desintegração oral, produzidos por laboratórios distintos. O ensaio de bioequivalência entre o produto teste (Vonau® flash) e o produto referência (Zofran®) foi do tipo randomizado, cruzado e aberto. Os produtos foram administrados por via oral aos voluntários em dose única de 8 mg de ondansetrona. Amostras de sangue foram coletadas até 24 horas após a administração e analisadas através de método de cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência acoplada a um detector de massas. As curvas médias de decaimento plasmático dos produtos teste (Vonau® flash) e referência (Zofran®) e as médias dos parâmetros farmacocinéticos Cmax (referência: 31,88 ng/mL; teste: 30,42 ng/mL); tmax (referência: 1,99 h; teste: 2,15 h), ASC0-t (referência: 227,66 ng×h/mL; teste: 223,68 ng×h/mL) e ASC0- (referência: 252,76 ng×h/mL; teste: 248,22 ng×h/mL) apresentaram-se semelhantes. O intervalo de confiança 90 % para a razão de Cmax (87,5 % - 103,8 %), ASC0-t (89,3 % - 107,2 %) e ASC0- (89,7 106,0 %) encontram-se entre 80 125 %, dentro dos limites propostos pela ANVISA. Conclui-se que os produtos teste e referência são bioequivalentes, podendo ser administrados de forma intercambiável, sem prejuízo do efeito terapêutico. / Ondansetron (1,2,3,9-tetrahydro-9-methyl-3-[2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1yl)methyl]-4H-carbazol-one is the first drug of the class of antagonists selective receptor 5-HT3. It is used in the prevention of nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy agents. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic equivalence examining the bioequivalence of two products containing 8 mg ondansetron, one in the conventional release tablet, and other in oral disintegration tablet produced by different laboratories. The bioequivalence assay between the test product (Vonau® flash) and reference product (Zofran®) was randomized, crossover and open study. The medication was administered in a single dose of 8 mg of ondansetron. Blood samples were collected until 24 hours after administration and analyzed using a validated high-performance liquid chromatographic method with mass spectrometer detection. The average plasmatic decay curves obtained for the test product (Vonau® flash) and reference product (Zofran®) and the averages of pharmacokinetics parameters Cmax (reference: 31.88 ng/mL; test: 30.42 ng/mL); tmax (reference: 1.99 h; test: 2.15 h), AUC0-t (reference: 227.66 ng×h/mL; test: 223.68 ng×h/mL) and AUC0- (reference: 252.76 ng×h/mL; test: 248.22 ng×h/mL) has been similar. The 90 % confidence intervals for the ratio of Cmax (87.5 % - 103.8 %), AUC0-t (89.3 % - 107.2%) and AUC0- (89.7 % - 106.0 %) values for the test and reference products are within the 80 125 % interval proposed by ANVISA. It was concluded that the test and reference products are bioequivalent and can be considered interchangeable in medical practice, without prejudice to the therapeutic effect.

Biopharmaceutical considerations and in vitro-in vivo correlations (IVIVCs) for orally administered amorphous formulations

Long, Chiau Ming January 2014 (has links)
Dissolution testing and physiological based pharmacokinetic modeling are the essential methods during drug development. However, there is a lack of a sound approach and understanding of the parameter that controls dissolution and absorption of amorphous formulations. Robust dissolution conditions and setup and PBPK models that have a predictability of in vivo results will expedite and facilitate the drug development process. In this project, cefuroxime axetil, CA (Zinnat® as the amorphous formulations); itraconazole, ITR (Sporanox® as the amorphous formulation) and a compound undergoing clinical trial, Compound X, CX (CX tablet as the amorphous formulation) were chosen. The design of experiments for the in vitro dissolution studies using different apparatus, media and setup which closely simulate the physiological condition of humans (CA and ITR) and dogs (CX) were implemented. The dissolution of CA, ITR and CX formulations was successfully characterised using different dissolution apparatus, setting and media (compendial, biorelevant and modified media) to simulate the changes of pH, contents, hydrodynamic conditions (flow rate and rotation speed) in human gastrointestinal tract (fasted and fed state). The change of hydrodynamics combined with media change that corresponded to the physiological conditions created with USP apparatus 4 and biorelevant dissolution media were able to mimic the in vivo performance of the tested formulations. Furthermore, surface UV dissolution imaging methodology that could be used to understand the mechanism of CA and ITR (Active compounds and their amorphous formulations) dissolution were developed in this project. The UV images developed using surface UV imaging apparatus provided a visual representation and a means for the qualitative as well as quantitative assessment of the differences in dissolution rates and concentration for the model compounds used. In this project, validated PBPK models for fasted state (CA, ITR) and fed state (CA, ITR and CX) were developed. These models incorporated in vitro degradation, particle size distribution, in vitro solubility and dissolution data as well as in vivo human/ dog pharmacokinetics data. Similarly, the results showed that level A IVIVCs for all three model compounds were successfully established. Dissolution profiles with USP apparatus 4 combined with biorelevant media showed close correlation with the in vivo absorption profiles. Overall, this project successfully provides a comprehensive biorelevant methodology to develop PBPK models and IVIVCs for orally administered amorphous formulations.

Modelagem PK/PD do efeito anticancerígeno do etoposídeo em ratos com tumor de walker-256 utilizando concentrações livres intratumorais determinaas por microdiálise / Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic modeling of etoposide anticancer effect in Walker-256 tumor-bearing rats using free intratumoral concentrations determined by microdialysis

Pigatto, Maiara Cássia January 2015 (has links)
Objetivo: O objetivo do presente estudo foi descrever a relação entre as concentrações plasmáticas totais e livres tumorais do etoposídeo (ETO) e a inibição do crescimento do tumor observada em ratos Wistar portadores de tumor Walker- 256 (W256) utilizando a modelagem farmacocinética/farmacodinâmica (PK/PD). Métodos: Os procedimentos com animais foram aprovados no CEUA/UFRGS sob o número 22302. Os experimentos de farmacocinética foram realizados para determinar concentrações plasmáticas e livres em duas regiões do tumor sólido W256 através de microdiálise. Após a administração do ETO nas doses de 10 ou 20 mg/kg i.v. bolus em ratos Wistar portadores de tumor W256, amostras de sangue e microdialisado de tecido do centro e periferia do tumor foram coletadas simultaneamente, até 7 h pós-dose, para determinar o fator de penetração no tumor. Um método analítico por CLAE-UV foi desenvolvido e validado para quantificação do etoposídeo nas amostras de plasma e dialisado. Os experimentos de farmacodinâmica foram conduzidos em ratos portadores de tumor W256 que receberam ETO 5 e 10 mg/kg i.v. bolus uma vez ao dia por 8 e 4 dias, respectivamente. O volume dos tumores foram monitorados diariamente durante 30 dias. Análise não-compartimental dos dados de PK foi realizada no WinNonlin®. A modelagem dos dados PK e PK/PD foi realizada no Monolix®, utilizando abordagem populacional. Os dados PK/PD foram analisados usando o modelo Simeoni TGI modificado através da introdução de uma função Emax para descrever a relação nãolinear entre a concentração plasmática e tumoral e o efeito. Resultados e Discussão: O método por CLAE-UV foi desenvolvido e validado para quantificar as amostras de ETO em plasma e tecido. A penetração do ETO no tumor foi maior na periferia (61 ± 15 % e 61 ± 29 %) do que no centro do tumor (34 ± 6 % e 28 ± 11 %) após administração das doses 10 e 20 mg/kg, respectivamente (ANOVA, α = 0.05). Um modelo de 4 compartimentos compreendendo uma distribuição saturável (cinética de Michaelis-Menten) nos compartimentos tumorais a partir do compartimento central modelou simultaneamente os perfis de concentração-tempo do ETO em plasma e em ambas regiões do tumor. O modelo populacional PK/PD Simeoni TGI–Emax foi capaz de descrever o efeito antitumoral dependente do regime de administração do ETO utilizando concentrações totais plasmáticas ou livres no tumor, resultando em um maior k2max (potência máxima) para as concentrações livres (25,8 mL.μg-1.dia-1 - intratumoral vs. 12,6 mL.μg-1.dia-1 - plasma total). Conclusões: Os resultados mostram que a utilização das concentrações livres do fármaco no tumor para a modelagem PK/PD pode fornecer um melhor entendimento da relação farmacocinética e farmacodinâmica e melhoram a capacidade de previsão do modelo, considerando que a eficácia dos fármacos antineoplásicos no tratamento de tumores sólidos é dependente da capacidade do fármaco em se distribuir no tecido tumoral. / Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the relationship between total plasma and free interstitial tumor etoposide (ETO) concentrations and the drug tumor growth inhibition observed in a Walker-256 (W256) tumor-bearing Wistar rat model using the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modeling. Methods: The experiments with animals were approved by CEUA/UFRGS (protocol number 22302). Pharmacokinetic experiments were conducted to determine total plasma and free intratumoral concentrations in two regions of W256 solid tumor by microdialysis. After administration of ETO 10 or 20 mg/kg i.v. bolus to W256 tumorbearing Wistar rats, blood and tissue microdialysate samples from tumor center and periphery were simultaneously collected up to 7h to determine the tumor penetration factor. An analytical HPLC-UV method was developed and validated for quantification of ETO in plasma and microdialysate samples. The pharmacodynamic experiments were conducted in W256 tumor-bearing rats that received ETO 5 or 10 mg/kg i.v. bolus every day for 8 and 4 days, respectively. Tumor volumes were monitored daily for 30 days. Non-compartmental analysis of PK data was performed in WinNonlin®. The PK and PK/PD modeling by population approach were performed using Monolix®. PK/PD data were analyzed using a modification of Simeoni TGI model by introducing an Emax function to describe the nonlinear relationship between tumor and plasma concentrations and effect. Results and Discussion: The HLPCUV method was developed and validated to determine plasma and tissue samples of ETO. ETO tumor penetration was higher in the tumor periphery (61 ± 15 % and 61 ± 29 %) than center (34 ± 6 % and 28 ± 11 %) following 10 and 20 mg/kg doses, respectively (ANOVA, α = 0.05). A 4-compartment structural model comprising a saturable distribution (Michaelis-Menten kinetics) into the tumor compartments from the central compartment simultaneously described the ETO concentration–time profiles in plasma and both tumor regions. The PK/PD population Simeoni TGI–Emax model was capable of describing the schedule-dependent antitumor effects of ETO using total plasma or free tumor concentrations obtained in a W256-tumor bearing Wistar rat model, resulting in higher k2max (maximal potency) for free concentrations (25.8 mL.μg-1.day-1 - intratumoral vs. 12.6 mL.μg-1.day-1 total plasma). Conclusions: The results showed that the use of free intratumoral drug concentrations in the PK/PD modeling can provide a better understanding of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics relationship and improve the forecasting ability of the models considering that the efficacy of antineoplastic drugs in the treatment of solid tumors is dependent on the drug ability to distribute into the tumor.

Correlação in vitro - in vivo de comprimidos matriciais de furosemida complexada à hidroxipropil-&#946-ciclodextrina: métodos in vitro, in vivo e in silico / In vitro - in vivo correlation of matrix tablets of furosemide complexed with hidroxypropyl-&#946-cyclodextrin: in vitro, in vivo and in silico methods

Marina de Freitas Silva 14 February 2014 (has links)
A correlação in vitro - in vivo (CIVIV) refere-se ao estabelecimento de uma relação racional entre uma propriedade in vitro de uma forma farmacêutica (FF) e uma característica biológica, ou parâmetros derivados destas, produzidas a partir da absorção do fármaco, liberado por uma FF. Para o desenvolvimento de uma CIVIV, são necessárias três ou mais formulações, as quais são avaliadas em relação ao comportamento de dissolução e à biodisponibilidade (BD), e por meio do cálculo de deconvolução, estimam-se as frações absorvidas. A furosemida, fármaco modelo, é um diurético usado no tratamento de hipertensão. Este fármaco é classificado como classe IV do sistema de classificação biofarmacêutico (SCB) (Amidon et al., 1995). O objetivo do presente trabalho foi estabelecer uma CIVIV para formas farmacêuticas (FFs) de liberação modificada contendo complexo de furosemida e hidroxipropil-&#946-ciclodextrina (HP-&#946-CD), a partir de ensaios de dissolução e estudos de BD. O complexo de furosemida e HP-&#946-CD foi obtido por liofilização e caracterizado por análise térmica, solubilidade e permeabilidade. A partir do complexo, foram produzidas cinco formulações de comprimidos de liberação modificada, com diferentes concentrações de hidroxipropilmetilcelulose (HPMC) (10-30%). Estas foram submetidas aos estudos de dissolução com o aparato II. Destas, foram selecionadas três formulações com perfis distintos e submetidas ao estudo com o aparato IV e posteriormente ao estudo de BD. A partir destes resultados foi estabelecida uma CIVIV e esta foi avaliada por meio da validação interna. Foi realizado o estudo in silico de previsão das curvas de decaimento plasmático com emprego dos programas, STELLA® e Simcyp®, a partir dos dados: solubilidade da furosemida; dissolução a partir das formulações e dados farmacocinéticos obtidos a partir da injeção intravenosa do medicamento referência. Quanto à caracterização do complexo, os ensaios termoanalíticos sugerem que a furosemida forme complexo de inclusão com a HP-β-CD pela técnica da liofilização. Observou-se o aumento da solubilidade em relação ao fármaco puro. Entretanto, quanto à permeabilidade, avaliada por meio do PAMPA (permeabilidade em membrana artificial paralela), os resultados foram semelhantes entre o fármaco puro e o complexo. Quanto ao comportamento de dissolução, avaliado com emprego dos aparatos II e IV, observou-se que as formulações apresentaram perfis de dissolução distintos. Os resultados do estudo de BD indicaram que a concentração do HPMC tem impacto relevante na absorção da furosemida. Foram obtidas correlações lineares a partir dos dados de fração absorvida e de dissolução, com coeficiente de determinação de 0,7662 para o aparato II e de 0,96017 para o IV. A validação interna da CIVIV empregando o aparato IV indicou que a correlação foi satisfatória. O estudo in silico de previsão das curvas de decaimento plasmático demonstrou que, nas condições empregadas, o modelo desenvolvido com o STELLA® foi mais preditivo do que o obtido pelo Simcyp®. / The in vitro - in vivo correlation (IVIVC) refers to the establishment of a rational relationship between a in vitro property of a pharmaceutical form (PF) and a biological characteristic or parameters derived from those, produced from the absorption of a drug released from a PF. For the development of an IVIVC, it is necessary three or more formulations, which are evaluated in relation to the dissolution behavior and for bioavailability (BA), calculating by deconvolution, an estimated absorbed fractions. Furosemide, a model drug, is a diuretic used in the treatment of hypertension. This drug is classified as class IV from biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS) (Amidon et al., 1995). The objective of this study was to establish an IVIVC for pharmaceutical forms (PFs) with modified release containing furosemide complexed with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), from dissolution tests and BA studies. The complex of furosemide and HP-β-CD was obtained by freeze-drying and characterized by thermal analysis, the solubility and the permeability. From the complex were produced five modified release tablet formulations, with different concentrations of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) (10-30%). These formulations were subjected to dissolution studies with the apparatus II. From these, three formulations with distinct profiles were selected and subjected to dissolution study with apparatus IV and subsequently to the BA study. From these results, an IVIVC was established and this was evaluated by internal validation. The in silico study was conducted to predict plasma decay curves with employment programs, STELLA® and Simcyp®, from the following data: furosemide solubility, dissolution from the formulations evaluated and pharmacokinetic data obtained from intravenous drug reference. From characterization of the complex, the thermoanalytical tests suggest that furosemide form inclusion complex with HP-β-CD by freeze-drying technique. It was observed an increased solubility compared to the pure drug. However, permeability results, as assessed by the PAMPA (Parallel artificial membrane permeability), were similar for both furosemide and the complex. As for the dissolution behavior, evaluated with apparatus II and IV, so it was observed that the formulations showed an distintict profile. it was observed that the formulations produced showed different dissolution profiles. The results form BA assays indicated that the HPMC concentration has an important impact on the furosemide absorption. It was obtained a linear correlation from absorption fraction and dissolution data, with the determination coefficient of 0.7662 to apparatus II and 0.96017 from apparatus IV. Internal validation, with the IVIVC obtainted from apparatus IV, indicated that the correlation obtained was satisfactory. The in silico study predicted plasma decay curves, showed that under the conditions used, the model developed with STELLA® was more predictive than the model obtained by Simcyp®.

Tatiane Maria de Lima Souza Brioschi 13 November 2006 (has links)
A ciclobenzaprina é um relaxante muscular de ação central estruturalmente similar aos antidepressivos tricíclicos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a bioequivalência de comprimidos contendo 10 mg de cloridrato de ciclobenzaprina em voluntários sadios. O estudo de bioequivalência entre o produto teste (Miosan®) e referência (Flexeril®) foi do tipo randomizado, aberto e cruzado. Os produtos foram administrados por via oral aos voluntários em dose única de 10 mg de cloridrato de ciclobenzaprina. Amostras de sangue foram coletadas até 240 horas após a administração do fármaco e quantificadas por método previamente validado através de cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência acoplada a um detector de massas. As curvas médias de decaimento plasmático dos produtos teste (Miosan®) e referência (Flexeril®) foram semelhantes ASC0-t (teste: 193,00 ngxh/mL; referência: 191,66 ngxh/mL) e ASC0∞ (teste: 211,34 ngxh/mL; referência: 209,35 ngxh/mL). Assim como os parâmetros farmacocinéticos relativos à absorção de ciclobenzaprina, Cmax (teste: 7,16 ng/mL; referência: 6,95 ng/mL), tmax (teste: 4,61 h; referência: 4,48 h), Ka (referência: 0,79; teste: 0,67) e t(1/2)a (referência: 1,79 h; teste: 2,02 h). Os parâmetros farmacocinéticos relativos à eliminação plasmática de ciclobenzaprina Cl (teste: 31,15 L/h; referência: 31,73 L/h), Vd (teste: 1378,54 L e referência (1357,87 L), kß (referência: 0,08; teste: 0,08), t(1/2)ß (referência: 9,43 h; teste: 9,20 h), k&#947 (referência: 0,02; teste: 0,02) e t(1/2)&#947 (referência: 32,92 h; teste: 31,67 h) também apresentaram-se semelhantes entre os dois produtos. A análise multivariada realizada por meio da análise de variância (ANOVA), para a avaliação dos efeitos produto, grupo e período, revelou a ausência destes efeitos, indicando que o delineamento do estudo foi adequado. Os resultados do intervalo de confiança (I.C. 90 %) para a razão de Cmax (93,0 % - 112,0 %), ASC0-t(92,6 % - 111,1 %) e ASC0&#8734 (93,1 % - 110,4 %), encontram-se dentro dos limites estabelecidos pela ANVISA e FDA (80 - 125 %). A análise estatística dos parâmetros Cmax, ASC0-t e ASC0-&#8734 indicam que não há diferenças entre os dois produtos contendo 10 mg de cloridrato de ciclobenzaprina. Com base nos resultados deste estudo, conclui-se que os produtos avaliados são bioequivalentes e podem ser considerados intercambiáveis na terapêutica. / Cyclobenzaprine is a centrally acting muscle relaxant that has similarity with a tricyclic antidepressant. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bioequivalence of two brands of cyclobenzaprine 10 mg tablets in healthy volunteers. The procedure of bioequivalence between test product (Miosan®) and reference product (Flexeril®) was a randomized, open and crossover study. The products were administered in a single oral dose of 10 mg of cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride to healthy volunteers. Blood samples were collected until 240 hours after administration and quantified by validated method using high-pressure liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric detection. The average plasmatic decay curves of test (Miosan&#174) and reference (Flexeril&#174) products were similar ASC0-t (test: 193,00 ngxh/mL; reference: 191,66 ngxh/mL), in the same way that absorption parameters Cmax (test: 7,16 ng/mL; reference: 6,95 ng/mL), tmax (test: 4,61 h; reference: 4,48 h), Ka (reference: 0,79; test: 0,67) e t(1/2)a (reference: 1,79 h; test: 2,02 h). The elimination parameters Cl (test: 31,15 L/h; reference: 31,73 L/h), Vd (test: 1378,54 L e reference (1357,87 L), k&#914 (reference: 0,08; test: 0,08), t(1/2)&#946 (reference: 9,43 h; test: 9,20 h), k&#947 (reference: 0,02; test: 0,02) e t(1/2)&#947 (reference: 32,92 h; test: 31,67 h) were similar between products too. The multivariate analysis accomplished trough analysis of variance (ANOVA), for assessment of product, group and period effects, revealed the absence of any of these effects in the present study, indicating that the crossover design was properly performed. The 90 % confidence intervals for the ratio of Cmax(93,0 % - 112,0 %), AUC0-t(92,6 % - 111,1 %) and AUC0&#8734 (93,1 % - 110,4 %) values for the test and reference products are within the 80 - 125 % interval proposed by ANVISA e FDA. Statistical analysis of Cmax, AUC0-t e AUC0-&#8734 parameters indicated no significant difference between two brands of 10 mg cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride products. Based in the results of this study, we can conclude that the two products are bioequivalent and can be considered interchangeable in the medical practice.

InteraÃÃo Albendazol â Praziquantel em voluntÃrios sadios: DisposiÃÃo cinÃtica, metabolismo enantiosseletividade / Albendazole â praziquantel interaction in healthy volunteers: Kinetic disposition, metabolism, and enantioselectiveness

Renata Monteiro Lima 30 May 2008 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de NÃvel Superior / O praziquantel (PZQ), um fÃrmaco quiral disponÃvel como racemato, e o albendazol (ABZ), um fÃrmaco biotransformado ao metabÃlito ativo quiral sulfÃxido de abendazol (ASOX), tem sido empregados no tratamento da neurocisticercose humana. O estudo abrange a investigaÃÃo da disposiÃÃo cinÃtica, metabolismo e enantiosseletividade na associaÃÃo ABZ - PZQ em voluntÃrios sadios. O estudo cruzado e aleatÃrio foi desenvolvido em trÃs fases (n=9), sendo que alguns voluntÃrios iniciaram pela FASE 1 (400mg de ABZ), outros pela FASE 2 (1500mg de PZQ) e outros pela FASE 3 (400mg de ABZ + 1500mg de PZQ). O perÃodo de washout foi de no mÃnimo 15 dias (FASE 1 seguida da FASE 2 e FASE 1 seguida da FASE 3) ou 7 dias (FASE 2 seguida de uma das outras FASES). As amostras seriadas de sangue foram coletadas no perÃodo de 0-48h. Os metabÃlitos do ABZ foram analisados por HPLC com detecÃÃo por fluorescÃncia e os enantiÃmeros do PZQ e do trans-4-hidroxipraziquantel (4-OHPZQ) foram analisados por LC-MS-MS. Os parÃmetros farmacocinÃticos foram determinados com auxÃlio do programa WinNonlin. O teste de Wilcoxon (p≤0.05) foi empregado para avaliar as razÃes enantiomÃricas de concentraÃÃes plasmÃticas do ASOX, PZQ e 4-OHPZQ. Os dados estÃo expressos como medianas. A disposiÃÃo cinÃtica do PZQ, 4-OHPZQ e do ASOX Ã enantiosseletiva na situaÃÃo de monoterapia; as razÃes de AUC sÃo de 2,97 para (+)-(S)-PZQ /(-)-(R)-PZQ, 0,78 para (+)-(S)-4OHPZQ /(-)-(R)-4-OHPZQ e 7,08 para (+)-ASOX/(-)-ASOX. A administraÃÃo de PZQ resulta em aumento das concentraÃÃes plasmÃticas do (+)-ASOX em 264% (AUC 980,42 vs 2591,80 ng.h/ml), do (-)-ASOX em 358% (139,59 vs 500,28 ng.h./ml) e do sulfona de albendazol em 187% (170,85 vs 319,50ng.h./ml) sugerindo o PZQ como inibidor da Pgp intestinal. A administraÃÃo de ABZ nÃo altera a disposiÃÃo cinÃtica do (+)-(S)-PZQ e dos metabÃlitos (-)-(R)-4-OHPZQ e (+)-(S)-4OHPZQ, mas resulta em aumento das concentraÃÃes plasmÃticas do (-)-(R)-PZQ em 64,77% (AUC 518,02 vs 853,57ng.h/ml) sugerindo inibiÃÃo enantiosseletiva do metabolismo do ASOX. Os dados permitem sugerir a possibilidade de aumento da eficÃcia terapÃutica na interaÃÃo ABZ-PZQ, embora outros estudos sejam necessÃrios para avaliar a seguranÃa da interaÃÃo. / The praziquantel (PZQ), a chiral drug available as racemic, and the albendazole (ABZ), a drug biotransformed into active metabolic chiral suphoxide of abendazol (ASOX), have been used in the treatment of human neurocysticercosis. The study covers the examination / search of the kinetic disposition, the metabolism, and the enantioselectiveness in the ABZ-PZQ association in healthy volunteers. The crossed and random study was developed in three phases (n=9), in which some volunteers started by PHASE 1 (400 mg of ABZ), others by PHASE 2 (1500mg of PZQ), and others by PHASE 3 (400 mg of ABZ + 1500mg of PZQ). The period of washout was of a minimum of 15 days (PHASE 1 followed by PHASE 2 and PHASE 1 followed by PHASE 3) or of 7 days (PHASE 2 followed by one of the other Phases). The serial blood samples were collected in a period of 0-48 hours. The ABZ metabolics were analised by HPLC with detection by fluorescence and the PZQ enantiomers and the trans-4-hydroxypraziquantel (4-OHPZQ) were analised by LC-MS-MS. The pharmacokinetic patterns were determined with the help of the WinNonlin program. The test of Wilcoxon (p≤0.05) was used to evaluate the enantiomer ratios of plasma concentrations of ASOX, PZQ and 4-OHPZQ. The data are shown as medians. The kinetic disposition of the PZQ, 4-OHPZQ and ASOX is enantioselective in the monotherapy situation; the ratios of AUC are of 2.97 to (+)-(S)-PZQ / (-)-(R)-PZQ, 0.78 to (+)-(S)-4-OHPZQ / (-)-(R)-4-OHPZQ, and 7.08 to (+)-ASOX / (-)-PZQ. The administration of the PZQ results in the increase of the plasma concentrations of the (+)-ASOX in 264% (AUC 980.42 vs 2591.80ng.h./ml), of the (-)-ASOX in 358% (139.59 vs 500.28ng.h./ml), and of the sulphona of albendazole in 187% (170.85 vs 319.50ng.h./ml), suggesting the PZQ as an inhibiting factor of the intestinal Pgp. The administration of the ABZ does not change/ alter the kinetic disposition of the (+)-(S)-PZQ, and of the metabolic (-)-(R)-4-OHPZQ and (+)-(S)-4-OHPZQ, but it results in the increase of the plasma concentrations of the (-)-(R)-PZQ in 64.77% (AUC 518.02 vs 853.57ng.h./ml ), suggesting enantioselective inhibition of the metabolism of the ASOX. The data allow us to suggest the possibility of increase of therapeutic efficacy in the ABZ-PZQ interaction; although, other studies are necessary to evaluate the safety of the interaction.

Optimization of a pharmacokinetic assay in a bridging assay format using the Gyrolab immunoassay platform

Spetsare, Ebba January 2019 (has links)
Anti-TNF alpha antibodies were among the first approved antibody drugs and now belongs to the best-selling drugs. Today, several companies are developing biosimilars to those drugs which will increase the access of medications and potentially reduce health care costs. There is a great demand for pharmacokinetic assays for anti-TNF-alpha drugs and the bridging assay format is a potential tool, mostly due to its high serum tolerance. This project at Gyros Protein Technologies AB aimed to investigate the properties of the solid phase on the Gyrolab and to utilize this to optimize the bridging assay to be used as a pharmacokinetic assay for a human antibody in the presence of serum. The solid phase was optimized by incorporating three reagents with increasing molecular weight and examining the column profiles generated. Furthermore, the capture reagent was titrated with b-BSA to avoid cross-binding of both arms of the antibody to the capture reagent. Since the background was relatively high, further optimization was done to reduce background and increase the signal to noise ratio. The performance of the optimized bridging assay was compared to alternative PK assay formats. The estimated sensitivity of the bridging assay was 5 ng/ml compared to 250 ng/ml for the indirect antibody assay and 2.5 ng/ml for the bridging assay using an anti-idiotypic antibody as detect. The optimized bridging assay performed well without dilution in buffer and was therefore used for affinity determination of Humira in neat serum. Variable concentrations of TNF-alpha were added to a fix concentration of Humira to compete with the interaction. Calculated KD-values were similar regardless of whether the measurements were performed in neat serum or after dilution in Rexxip buffer.
