The human circadian system is known to affect the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of several classes of respiratory disease medications. The current study involving 16 healthy adults investigated if the time-of-day of dosing of roflumilast, a novel phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor, affects its pharmacokinetics. The rate of drug absorption (tmax: 1.50 versus 2.00 h) and peak concentration at tmax (Cmax: 3.79 versus 3.06 µg/L) was slightly greater with morning than evening administration, but without clinical significance. The extent of drug absorption (AUC) and drug elimination (t1/2) did not differ between the two dosing times. The pharmacokinetics of the active main metabolite, roflumilast N-oxide, also was not affected by the time of drug administration. Finally, the safety and tolerability of roflumilast did not differ between the two different times of administration. (E-mail correspondence: thomas.bethke@nycomed.com)  相似文献

The objective of this study was to assess how the dosing method (i.e., gavage versus diet) affects the absorption and disposition of lovastatin, as well as its effect on two biological markers of exposure, such as serum levels of cholesterol and triglycerides. In preclinical safety studies the test agent is normally administered by gavage, but in chemoprevention efficacy studies the test agent is usually administered with the diet. Therefore, extrapolation of safety and efficacy data from laboratory animals to humans should consider the influence of the method of administration on the absorption, disposition and effect of the drug. Lovastatin, a blood cholesterol-lowering drug with a short elimination half-life in humans, was used to assess the influence of two different dosing methods on the drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Plasma and liver concentrations of lovastatin and its active metabolite lovastatin-Na were measured in female rats at sequential times after administration. Serum concentrations of triglycerides and cholesterol were measured at similar times and used as biomarkers of effect. Significant differences in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics were observed after administration of lovastatin by the two oral dosing paradigms. In general, oral gavage resulted in higher peak and lower trough concentrations of lovastatin and lovastatin-Na in plasma and liver, lower area under the concentration-time curve of lovastatin-Na in plasma and liver, and less of an effect on the serum concentrations of triglycerides and cholesterol than the corresponding diet dosing. Although no inverse linear relationship was observed between pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic markers, in the case of serum cholesterol a visual trend could be observed which might have proven significant had data from a larger number of dose levels been available. As in our previous study with sulindac, this study illustrates potential limitations in trying to extrapolate from data obtained using different dosing schemes to potential safety and efficacy in humans.  相似文献

The effect of different times of evening administration (2000 hr versus 2200 hr) of sustained-release aminophylline (Euphyllin®CR) on pharmacokinetics and lung function was investigated in 30 patients presenting with moderately severe asthma. The study protocol followed a randomized three-period change-over design including a placebo period. As the dosing of the investigated SR-formulation is circadian rhythm adapted, the major part of the daily dose, namely 2/3, is affected by the change in time of administration. With regard to the nocturnal peak expiratory flow (PEF), no statistically significant difference between the times of evening administration was detected. However, the concomitant requirement for corticosteroids and inhaled beta-2-mimerics complicates the assessment of the relative clinical efficacy of the major dosing of theophylline during the 24 hr even though this drug is usually not given as a monotherapy in severe patients with reversible airway obstruction.  相似文献

Little is known about the chronopharmacokinetics of loratadine, a long-acting tricyclic antihistamine H(1) widely used in the treatment of allergic diseases. Hence, the pharmacokinetics of loratadine and its major metabolite, desloratadine, were investigated after a 20 mg/kg dose of loratadine had been orally administered to comparable groups of mice (n=33), synchronized for three weeks to 12 h light (rest span)/12 h dark (activity span). The drug was administered at three different circadian times (1, 9, and 17 h after light onset [HALO]). Multiple blood samples were collected over 48 h, and plasma concentrations of loratadine and desloratadine were determined by high performance liquid chromatography. There were no significant differences in T(max) of loratadine and desloratadine between treatment-time different groups. However, the elimination half-life (t1/2) of the parent compound and its metabolite was significantly longer (p<0.01) following administration at 9 HALO (t1/2 loratadine and desloratadine 5.62 and 4.08 h at 9 HALO vs. 4.29 and 2.6 h at 17 HALO vs. 3.26 and 3.27 at 1 HALO). There were relevant (p<0.05) differences in C(max) between the three treated groups for loratadine and desloratadine; 133.05+/-3.55 and 258.07+/-14.45 ng/mL at 9 HALO vs. 104.5+/-2.61 and 188.62+/-7.20 ng/mL at 1 HALO vs. 94.33+/-20 and 187.75+/-10.79 ng/mL at 17 HALO. Drug dosing at 17 HALO resulted in highest loratadine and desloratadine total apparent clearance values: 61.46 and 15.97 L/h/kg, respectively, whereas loratadine and desloratadine clearances (CL) were significantly slower (p<0.05) at the other administration times (loratadine and desloratadine CL was 57.3 and 14.22 L/h/kg at 1 HALO vs. 43.79 and 12.89 L/h/kg at 9 HALO, respectively). The area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of loratadine and desloratadine was significantly (p<0.05) greater following drug administration at 9 HALO (456.75 and 1550.57 (ng/mL) . h, respectively); it was lowest following treatment at 17 HALO (325.39 and 1252.53 (ng/mL) . h, respectively). These pharmacokinetic data indicate that the administration time of loratadine significantly affected its pharmacokinetics: the elimination of loratadine and its major metabolite desloratadine.  相似文献

Cyclosporine A (CyA) is a standard component of immunosuppressive regimens. It is a critical-dose drug for which a minor change in absorption can have important clinical consequences. The aim of the study was to compare the pharmacokinetics and safety of the new generic CyA formulation, Equoral capsules, after a switch from original formulation, Neoral capsules, in seventy stable adult renal transplant recipients. The extent and rate of pharmacokinetic parameters for bioequivalence were compared in a non-randomized, steady-state clinical study with fixed non-replicate study design. Pharmacokinetic analysis of CyA have shown that both the rate and extent of absorption of Equoral does not differ significantly from that of Neoral. At identical dosing, the new formulation was found to have geometric means of C(max) 717 ng/ml and AUCtau 3108 ng/ml.h, while corresponding results of comparator were 725 ng/ml and AUCtau 3039 ng/ml.h, respectively. The 90 % confidence intervals of C(max) and AUCtau were within 80- 125 % interval of the mean values. The results suggest that Equoral capsules can be used as an alternative treatment to Neoral capsules in CyA regimen.  相似文献

The enantioselective pharmacokinetics of tenatoprazole were studied in Wistar rats after the administration of a single oral dose of rac-tenatoprazole. Serial plasma samples were collected; and the pharmacokinetic behavior of each enantiomer was characterized using a sequential achiral and chiral liquid chromatographic method. Tenatoprazole was extracted from a small aliquot of plasma (100 microl) by one-step extraction using hexane-dichloromethane-isopropanol (20:10:1, v/v/v) as extract solvent. Plasma drug concentration-time data were analyzed for each enantiomer by using a noncompartmental method. The AUC(0-infinity) and C(max) values of (+)-tenatoprazole were significantly greater than those of (-)-tenatoprazole (P < 0.001). The mean AUC(0-infinity) value of (+)-tenatoprazole was 7.5 times greater than that of (-)-tenatoprazole after oral administration of rac-tenatoprazole to rats at a dose of 5 mg/kg. There are also significant differences in t(1/2) and CL/F (P < 0.01 and P < 0.001, respectively) values between enantiomers. This study suggests that the pharmacokinetics of tenatoprazole are enantioselective in rats.  相似文献

Ceftazidime, a third-generation cephalosporin, is widely used for the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections. The aims of the present study were to characterize the pharmacokinetics of ceftazidime and to estimate the T?>?MIC against P. aeruginosa, after its intramuscular (im) administration at two different dosing times (08:30?h and 20:30?h) to dogs, in order to determine whether time-of-day administration modifies ceftazidime pharmacokinetics and/or predicted clinical antipseudomonal efficacy. Six female healthy beagle dogs were administered ceftazidime pentahydrate by the intramuscular route in a single dose of 25?mg/kg at both 08:30 and 20:30?h, two weeks apart. Plasma ceftazidime concentrations were determined by microbiological assay. Pharmacokinetic parameters and time above the minimum inhibitory concentration (T?>?MIC) and 4xMIC for Pseudomonas aeruginosa were calculated from the disposition curve of each dog. No differences between the daytime and nighttime administrations were found for the main pharmacokinetic parameters, including Cmax, tmax, t½ λ, AUC, and MRT; however, the high interindividual variability shown by these values and the small number of individuals may account for this lack of difference. Rate of absorption (ka) was significantly higher after the 20:30?h than 08:30?h administration. No significant differences between T?>?MIC were found when comparing the 08:30?h and 20:30?h administrations. Mean T?>?MIC values predicted a favorable bacteriostatic effect for all susceptible strains of P. aeruginosa for the 12?h dosing interval at both dosing times. Our results suggest that similar antipseudomonal activity may be expected when ceftazidime is administered at 8:30 and 20:30?h; however, as only two timepoints of drug administration were explored, we are unable to draw any conclusions for other treatment times during the 24?h.

OBJECTIVE: The enantioselective kinetic disposition of lercanidipine, a dihydropyridine type of third-generation calcium antagonist, was investigated in six healthy male volunteers following a single 20 mg racemic oral dose. METHODS: Serial plasma samples were obtained from 0 to 24 h after drug administration. Lercanidipine enantiomers were analysed using a chiral LC-MS-MS method. RESULTS: The following differences (p < 0.05, Wilcoxon test) between (S) and (R) enantiomers were found (median): C(max) 2.071 ng mL(-1) versus 1.681 ng mL(-1); AUC(0-24)12.352 ng h mL(-1) versus 10.063 ng h mL(-1) and Cl/f 732.16 L h(-1) versus 1891.84 L h(-1). The AUC(0-infinity) values for (S)-LER were 1.21-fold higher than those for (R)-LER. CONCLUSION: The pharmacokinetics of LER was enantioselective in healthy volunteers following a single dose of 20 mg of the unlabeled racemic drug.  相似文献

The applicability of two-phase liquid-phase micro-extraction (LPME) in porous hollow polypropylene fiber for the sample preparation and the stereoselective pharmacokinetics of mebeverine (MEB) enantiomers (an antispasmodic drug) in rat after intramuscular administration were studied. Plasma was assayed for MEB enantiomer concentrations using stereospecific high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection after a simple, inexpensive, and efficient preconcentration and clean-up hollow fiber-based LPME. Under optimized micro-extraction conditions, MEB enantiomers were extracted with 25 μl of 1-octanol within a lumen of a hollow fiber from 0.5 ml of plasma previously diluted with 4.5 ml alkalized water (pH 10). The chromatographic analysis was carried out through chiral liquid chromatography using a DELTA S column and hexane-isopropyl alcohol (85:15 v/v) containing 0.2% triethylamine as mobile phase. The mean recoveries of (+)-MEB and (-)-MEB were 75.5% and 71.0%, respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) was 3.0 ng/ml with linear response over the concentration range of 10-2500 ng/ml with correlation coefficient higher than 0.993 for both enantiomers. The pharmacokinetic studies showed that the mean plasma levels of (+)-MEB were higher than those of (-)-MEB at almost all time points. Also, (+)-MEB exhibited greater t(max) (peak time in concentration-time profile), C(max) (peak concentration in concentration-time profile), t(1/2) (elimination half-life), and AUC(0-240 min) (area under the curve for concentration versus time) and smaller CL (clearance) and V(d) (apparent distribution volume) than its antipode. The obtained results implied that the absorption, distribution, and elimination of (-)-MEB were more rapid than those of (+)-MEB and there were stereoselective differences in pharmacokinetics.  相似文献

Digoxin, frequently used in the treatment of congestive heart failure, has a very narrow therapeutic index. We studied the differences in digoxin pharmacokinetics when ingested in the morning versus evening. A single digoxin (0.25 mg) dose was given orally to the same group of 10 diurnally active healthy (6 male and 4 female) volunteers in the morning at 08:00 and evening at 20:00 in separate experiments scheduled 2 weeks apart. Blood samples were collected at specific times for 48h after each timed dose; digoxin was determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Maximum plasma concentration Cmax; Tmax, the time to reach Cmax; area under plasma concentration curve AUC; and elimination half-time T1/2 of digoxin were determined. Tmax was statistically significantly shorter (54 min) following 08:00 dosing compared to 20:00 dosing (96 min). Although the Cmax was higher after morning than evening dosing, it was not significantly so. No other parameter of digoxin pharmacokinetics except Tmax exhibited administration time dependency.

Administration-time differences of gentamicin pharmacokinetics were studied by crossover design after a single intravenous administration of gentamicin (80 mg) to 10 human subjects at 09:00 (morning time) and 22:00 (nighttime). The profiles of serum gentamicin concentration showed a significant statistical difference between 09:00 and 22:00, suggesting circadian variations of pharmacokinetic behaviors. A significant circadian rhythm of pharmacokinetic parameters as a function of time of day was noted in human subjects, showing lower total body clearance Clt and higher serum area under the curve (AUC) when given at nighttime. The half-life t1/2 was shorter in the morning (2.82 h +/- 0.43 h) when compared to the nighttime (2.97 h +/- 0.36 h), but the difference was not statistically significant. The AUC was significantly greater in the morning (23.4 +/- 3.84 micrograms-h/mL) than that in the nighttime (26.3 +/- 5.79 micrograms-h/mL) (p < .05), most likely because the Clt was significantly higher when gentamicin was given in the morning (3.51 +/- 0.57 L/h) versus in the nighttime (3.18 +/- 0.65 L/h). Although the volume of distribution Vd decreased when given at nighttime, it was independent of the dosing time. From this study, there was an administration-time difference of gentamicin pharmacokinetics in human beings. The optimized dosing regimen of gentamicin can be decided by considering circadian rhythm and rest-activity routine so that minimized toxicity and effective therapy are established for patients. The current findings also can be applied to other drugs with circadian rhythms of pharmacokinetics and narrow therapeutic windows in clinical chronotherapeutics.  相似文献

Circadian rhythms in physiological processes may affect pharmacological actions of drugs. The purpose of this study was to determine whether pharmacokinetics or acute lethality (LD 50) of norfloxacin, exhibited circadian rhythmicity. Female Sprague- Dawley prepuberal rats (weight 115.8 ± 10.2 g) synchronized with a 12-h-light/ 12-h-dark cycle (lights on 7:00h) were used throughout the study. Norfloxacin pharmacokinetics after intraperitoneal administration at 4:00, 10:00, 16:00 and 22:00h was characterized. Intraperitoneal norfloxacin LD 50 was administered at 2:00, 6:00, 10:00, 14:00, 18:00 and 22:00 h. Pharmacokinetic parameters and lethality percentages were analyzed by the cosinor method for the presence of circadian rhythmicity. The results showed evidence of circadian rhythmicity for norfloxacin k abs, t ½abs, t max, MRT abs, Cl t /f and AUC. Absorption was higher when the drug was administered during the rest (16:00 h) period, meanwhile elimination was higher when administered during the activity (22:00 h) period. No rhythmicity was determined for norfloxacin lethality. It is concluded that, in this study, time of administration modifies the pharmacokinetics of norfloxacin.  相似文献

A validated new, simple and highly sensitive reversed-phase HPLC method is developed for studying the pharmacokinetics of germacrone after intravenous administration of zedoary turmeric oil (ZTO) oil-in-water microemulsion. The method did not require a complex and expensive equipment. A high extraction recovery (>80%) of germacrone was obtained. Linear calibration curves obtained with the peak-area ratio (y) of germacrone to internal standard (tanshinoneIIA) versus drug concentration (x) were found to be linear between 8.08 and 808 ng/ml. The limit of quantitation was 8.08 ng/ml.The monitored compounds were completely separated from others in ZTO and from endogenous species in plasma by HPLC. Pharmacokinetic investigations were performed on 18 male rabbits after intravenous administration of ZTO microemulsion via the ear vein at germacrone doses of 3.2, 6.4 and 9.6 mg/kg. The plasma concentration-time data fit to a two-compartment intravenous model with a weight of 1/C(2) (C: germacrone concentration in plasma). Germacrone exhibited linear pharmacokinetics after intravenous administration of ZTO microemulsion to rabbits over the germacrone dose range 3.2-9.6 mg/ml.  相似文献

The influence of administration route (oral or intramuscular (i.m.)) on the pharmacokinetics of total indobufen (INDB) enantiomers was studied in healthy volunteers after a 200 mg dose as a single oral tablet or i.m. injection. Enantiospecific reversed phase (RP) HPLC with UV detection was used for the determination of INDB enantiomers in serum. INDB enantiomers were isolated from serum by solid phase extraction (SPE) procedure using C(18) columns. INDB enantiomers were converted to their L-leucinamide diastereoisomers and separated on a C(18) HPLC column. INDB from i.m. injections is absorbed faster (t(max) = 0.6-0.9 h) than from tablets (t(max) = 1.3-1.8 h). The area under curve (AUC) after administration of the tablet was slightly higher than after i.m. injection. The pharmacokinetic behaviour of (+)-S- and (-)-R-INDB after administration of the tablet was different from i.m. injection of racemic INDB. The (+)-S-enantiomer is more rapidly eliminated than its (-)-R-antipode. Statistically significant differences also occurred between enantiomers in AUC, first order elimination rate constant (k), clearance (Cl). The ratio AUC(R):AUC(S) was similar for the tablet (1.57-1.62) and i.m. injection (1.59-1.62). It was concluded that the formulation and extent of ionisation of rac-INDB (acid or sodium salt of INDB) do not significantly influence its stereoselective pharmacokinetics.  相似文献

The pharmacokinetics of clausenamide (CLA) enantiomers and their metabolites were investigated in Wistar rat. After intravenous and oral administration at a dose of 80 and 160 mg/kg each enantiomer, plasma concentrations of (-)- or (+)-CLA and its major metabolites were simultaneously determined by reverse-phase HPLC with UV detection. Notably, stereoselective differences in pharmacokinetics were found. The mean plasma levels of (+)-CLA were higher at almost all time points than those of (-)-CLA. (+)-CLA also exhibited greater t(max), C(max), t(1/2beta), AUC(0-12h), and AUC(0--> infinity) and smaller CL (or CL/F) and V(d) (or V(d)/F), than its antipode. The (+)/(-) isomer ratios for t(1/2beta), t(max), AUC(0-12 h), and AUC(0--> infinity), which ranged from 1.26 to 2.08. The ratio for CL (or CL/F) was about 0.5, and there were significant differences in these values between CLA enantiomers (P < 0.05), implying that the absorption, distribution, and elimination of (-)-CLA were more rapid than those of (+)-CLA. Similar findings for (-)-7-OH-CLA, the major metabolite of (-)-CLA, and (+)-4-OH-CLA, the major metabolite of (+)-CLA, can be also seen in rat plasma. The contributing factors for the differences in stereoselective pharmacokinetics of CLA enantiomers appeared to be involved in their different plasma protein binding, first-pass metabolism and interaction with CYP enzymes, especially with their metabolizing enzyme CYP 3A isoforms.  相似文献

The pharmacokinetics and the hemodynamic effects (blood pressure, heart rate) of oral organic nitrates have been investigated in healthy subjects after oral single-dose application either in the morning or in the evening. Isosorbide-5-monitrate (IS-5-MN, 60 mg) was administered as an immediate-release tablet or as a slow-release formulation. Isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN, 20 mg) was ingested as an immediate-release tablet. After administration of IS-5-MN as an immediate-release tablet, the drug was more rapidly absorbed in the morning (tmax of 0.9 h) than in the evening (tmax of 2.1 h). The rapid absorption led to more pronounced effects in the morning, at which time maximum drug concentrations occurred at the same time as peak effects were observed. After evening administration, however, peak effects were in advance of the maximum drug concentrations. No chrono-kinetics were observed after application of the slow-release formulation of IS-5-MN. In accordance with the results of the immediate-release formulation, peak effects of the slow-release preparation occurred significantly earlier than peak drug concentrations after evening than after morning dosing. ISDN bioavailability was higher after morning than after evening administration and hemodynamic effects were more pronounced in the evening than in the morning. These results show that daily variations in pharmacokinetics and/or hemodynamic effects can be observed with oral nitrates. In addition, galenic formulation can influence the time-specified pharmacokinetics of IS-5-MN.  相似文献

The pharmacokinetics of penicillins in the blood of dogs treated with ampiox, a combination of ampicillin and oxacillin at a ratio of 1 : 1 was studied. The drug was administered orally in single or repeated doses of 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg. The maximum levels of ampicillin in the blood serum were observed 1 hour after a single administration of the drug. The therapeutic concentrations of the antibiotic were preserved for 6 hours, its value being depended on the dose used. The maximum concentration of oxacillin was detected 1 hour after the drug administration in various doses and it was preserved in the blood at the therapeutic levels for 3 hours. The dynamics of circulation of ampicillin and oxacillin administered separately did not differ from that established for the use of ampiox. The regularities of the pharmacokinetics of ampiox on its repeated use remained practically unchanged.  相似文献

AIM: A randomized, two-way, crossover, bioequivalence study was conducted in 25 fasting, healthy, male volunteers to compare two brands of fexofenadine 180 mg tablets, FEXOFENADINE 180 mg Film Tablet (Drogsan A.S., Ankara, Turkey) as test and Telfast 180 mg Tablet (Aventis Pharma, Frankfurt am Main, Germany) as a reference product. METHOD: One tablet of either formulation was administered after 10 h of overnight fasting. After dosing, serial blood samples were collected during a period of 48 hours. Plasma samples were analysed for fexofenadine by a validated HPLC method. The pharmacokinetic parameters AUC(0-48), AUC(0-alpha), C(max), T(max), K(el), T(1/2), and CL were determined from plasma concentration-time profiles for both formulations and were compared statistically. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The analysis of variance (ANOVA) did not show any significant difference between the two formulations and 90% confidence intervals (CI) fell within the acceptable range, satisfying the bioequivalence criteria of the FDA. Based on these statistical inferences it was concluded that the two brands exhibited comparable pharmacokinetics profiles and that Drogsan's Fexofenadine is equivalent to Telfast of Aventis Pharma, Frankfurt am Main, Germany.  相似文献

Background

Roflumilast is an oral, selective phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor with anti-inflammatory effects in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The addition of roflumilast to long-acting bronchodilators improves lung function in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD. The present study investigated drug-drug interaction effects between inhaled formoterol and oral roflumilast.

Methods

This was a single-centre (investigational clinic), open, randomised, multiple-dose, parallel-group study. In Regimen A, healthy men were treated with roflumilast (500 μg tablet once daily; Day 2-18) and concomitant formoterol (24 μg twice daily; Day 12-18). In Regimen B, healthy men were treated with formoterol (24 μg twice daily; Day 2-18) and concomitant roflumilast (500 μg once daily; Day 9-18). Steady-state plasma pharmacokinetics of roflumilast, roflumilast N-oxide and/or formoterol (Cmax and AUC0-τ) as well as pharmacodynamics - blood pressure, transthoracic impedance cardiography (ZCG), 12-lead digital electrocardiography, peripheral blood eosinophils, and serum glucose and potassium concentrations - were evaluated through Day 1 (baseline), Day 8 (Regimen B: formoterol alone) or Day 11 (Regimen A: roflumilast alone), and Day 18 (Regimen A and B: roflumilast plus formoterol). Blood and urine samples were taken for safety assessment at screening, pharmacokinetic profiling days and Day 19. Adverse events were monitored throughout the study.

Results

Of the 27 subjects enrolled, 24 were evaluable (12 in each regimen). No relevant pharmacokinetic interactions occurred. Neither roflumilast nor formoterol were associated with significant changes in cardiovascular parameters as measured by ZCG, and these parameters were not affected during concomitant administration. Formoterol was associated with a slight increase in heart rate and a corresponding shortening of the QT interval, without changes in the heart rate-corrected QTc interval. There were small effects on the other pharmacodynamic assessments when roflumilast and formoterol were administered individually, but no interactions or safety concerns were seen after concomitant administration. No severe or serious adverse events were reported, and no adverse events led to premature study discontinuation.

Conclusions

No clinically relevant pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic interactions were found when oral roflumilast was administered concomitantly with inhaled formoterol, including no effect on cardiac repolarisation. Roflumilast was well tolerated.
