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.
