Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interaction between irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide in renal hypertensive dogs

Combined irbesartan/hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) formulations are often used clinically. Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modeling was applied to investigate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interaction between irbesartan and HCTZ in renal hypertensive dogs at non-steady-state and steady-state. The renal hypertensive dogs were treated with oral irbesartan alone, or HCTZ alone, or the combination of irbesartan and HCTZ for 8 days. Blood pressure and plasma concentrations were measured and pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic parameters were analyzed. Irbesartan showed a two-compartment model pharmacokinetic profile. The concentration-time course of irbesartan was not changed by HCTZ, but irbesartan increased the peak plasma concentration and area under the curve of HCTZ at steady-state. HCTZ had no blood pressure lowering effect at non-steady-state. Irbesartan plus HCTZ had greater blood pressure lowering action than irbesartan alone. HCTZ increased actions of irbesartan. Hysteresis loops were found between effect and plasma concentrations of irbesartan after a single dose. However, hysteresis loops disappeared at steady state with more rapid realization of maximum concentration and effects. The relationship between effects and effect-compartment concentrations of the drugs was represented by a sigmoid Emax model. The results suggest synergistic pharmacodynamic interaction between irbesartan and HCTZ in renal hypertensive dogs and some differences of pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic properties between irbesartan and irbesartan/HCTZ combinations at non-steady-state and steady state.     

Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic of irbesartan in renal hypertensive dogs under non-steady-state and steady-state conditions.

The aim of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of irbesartan in renal hypertensive dogs under non-steady-state and steady-state conditions using pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modeling. Drugs were administered intragastrically to renal hypertensive dogs, plasma drug concentration was determined by HPLC method and Pharmacologic effects, including SBP, DBP, dp/dtmax and LVSP, were measured simultaneously. AT II, Aldosterone (ALD) and Endothelin (ET) were also used as measurement of effect. The PK and PD data were quantitatively analyzed according to the PK/PD model theory. The pharmacokinetic profiles of irbesartan conformed to a two-compartment open model. There was hysteresis loops between effects and plasma concentrations under non-steady-state condition. The relationship between effects and effect compartment concentrations (Ce) could be represented by the Sigmoid-Emax model. The Hysteresis loops disappeared under steady-state condition with more rapidly attainment of maximum concentration and effect. There were certain difference of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties between non-steady-state and steady-state condition.     

PK-PD modeling of irbesartan in healthy Chinese adult volunteers under non-steady-state conditions.

The purpose of this study was to construct a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model (PK-PD model) of irbesartan in healthy Chinese adult volunteers under non-steady-state conditions and provide relevant PK/PD parameters for use in clinical practice. Thirty-six healthy Chinese adult male volunteers received 150 or 300 mg irbesartan orally in tablet form (2 groups; n = 18 per group). Plasma concentrations were determined by HPLC and pharmacological effects, including effects on systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were measured simultaneously. The experimental data were quantitatively analyzed according to the PK-PD model construct. PK/PD parameters were calculated. Blood pressure remained almost unchanged at an irbesartan dose of 150 mg under non-steady-state conditions. After a single dose of 300 mg, the pharmacokinetic profiles of irbesartan conformed to a two-compartment model. There were hysteresis loops between drug effects and plasma concentrations. The relationship between effects and effect compartment concentrations (Ce) could be represented by the sigmoid-Emax model. The Emax values for the inhibitory effects on SBP and DBP of irbesartan were 14.8 +/- 1.5 and 9.8 +/- 2.1 mmHg respectively, the EC50 values were 0.29 +/- 0.11 and 0.18 +/- 0.07 microg x ml(-1), while the K(eo) values were 0.62 +/- 0.09 and 0.68 +/- 0.07 h(-1), respectively. The PK-PD model of irbesartan was developed in healthy Chinese adult male volunteers, and may provide a more rational basis for dosage individualization.     

Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interaction between tolvaptan, a non-peptide AVP antagonist, and furosemide or hydrochlorothiazide

The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions between tolvaptan and furosemide or hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) were determined in a single-center, randomized, open-label, parallel-arm, 3-period crossover study conducted in healthy white (Caucasian) men. A total of 12 subjects were enrolled in the study, with 6 subjects assigned to each of two treatment arms. Subjects in Arm 1 received 30 mg of tolvaptan, 80 mg of furosemide, and 30 mg of tolvaptan + 80 mg of furosemide. Subjects in Arm 2 received 30 mg of tolvaptan, 100 mg of HCTZ, and 30 mg pf tolvaptan + 100 mg of HCTZ. Doses were separated by a 48-hour washout. Blood and urine samples were collected at scheduled timepoints during the 24 hours after administration of study drug for the determination of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters. No clinically significant changes were noted in the pharmacokinetic profiles of tolvaptan and furosemide or tolvaptan and HCTZ when coadministered. Free water clearance, 24-hour urine volume, plasma sodium and argentine vasopressin concentrations, and plasma osmolality were higher, and urine osmolality was lower when tolvaptan was administered either alone or in combination with furosemide or HCTZ, compared with furosemide or HCTZ administered alone. At 24 hours postdose, plasma renin activity was increased after furosemide or HCTZ administered alone or with tolvaptan, but it was unchanged after tolvaptan alone. Tolvaptan did not significantly affect the natriuretic activity of furosemide or HCTZ. Furosemide and HCTZ did not significantly affect the aquaretic activity of tolvaptan. Tolvaptan administered alone or in combination with furosemide or HCTZ was safe and well tolerated at the given doses.     

Accuracy of repeated blood sampling in rats: a new technique applied in pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies of the interaction between warfarin and co-enzyme Q10

In the past, combined pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modeling studies of oral anticoagulants in rats have been hampered by the technical problems of blood sampling. In the present study, a semi-micromethod of preparing serial plasma samples for accurate assessment of the prothrombin times (PT) and clotting factor VII activity (CFA) in rats is proposed. The method consists of orbital bleeding, blood sample weighing, gravity calculation and buffer volume adjustment. No significant differences of CFA (percentage normal) were found between citrate-diluted and undiluted plasma. This technique was employed to examine the possibility of PK/PD interaction between warfarin and Co-enzyme Q₁₀ (CoQ₁₀). Rats were given a single oral dose (1.5 mg/kg) of warfarin either alone or on day 4 of an 8-day oral dosing regimen of 10 mg/kg CoQ₁₀ daily. Serial plasma and serum samples, which were subjected to respectively measurements of the anticoagulant effects and concentrations of warfarin and its main metabolites, were obtained over a 96-h period following warfarin administration. All rats survived the whole experiment and maintained a stable condition except for a marked hematocrit decrease. CoQ₁₀ significantly augmented warfarin metabolism but showed little effect on the absorption of warfarin. CoQ₁₀ alone had no apparent effect on either the PT or CFA. The concomitant administration of CoQ₁₀ and warfarin does not significantly affect the anticoagulant effect of warfarin. In conclusion, the proposed serial orbital bleeding technique in rats to prepare an accurate citrate-diluted plasma for PT and CFA measurement is rapid and reliable.     

Population pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic modeling of pegvisomant in asian and Western acromegaly patients

Pegvisomant is a growth hormone (GH) receptor antagonist that normalizes insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) levels in patients with acromegaly. Although the dose of pegvisomant is determined by the IGF-I level, the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model for pegvisomant concentration and IGF-I reduction has not been established. This study was conducted to characterize PK/PD of pegvisomant, and to determine the influence of covariates on the pegvisomant PK/PD. Based on the data from 5 phase III studies in 168 acromegaly patients, models were developed to characterize the PK/PD of pegvisomant. The PD variables were IGF-I serum concentrations. The modeling was performed with a nonlinear mixed-effects approach using NONMEM. After subcutaneous dosing, the PK of pegvisomant was described by a steady state PK model with dose- dependent clearance. Baseline GH and age were significant covariates for the clearance. A sigmoid E(max) model adequately described the relationship between IGF-I and pegvisomant concentrations. Baseline GH was found to be a significant covariate for the baseline effect (E(0)) and IC(50). The PK/PD properties of pegvisomant were not significantly different between Asian and Western patients.     

Do plasma concentrations obtained from early arterial blood sampling improve pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling?

In pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modeling the first blood sample is usually taken 1 to 2 min after drug administration (late sampling). Therefore, investigators have to extrapolate the plasma concentration to Time 0. Extrapolation, however, erroneously assumes instantaneous and complete mixing of drug in the central volume of distribution. We investigated whether plasma concentrations obtained from early arterial blood sampling would improve PK/PD modeling. In 14 pigs, one of five neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) was administered into the right ventricle within 1 sec and arterial sampling was performed every 1.2 sec (1st min). The response of the tibialis muscle was measured mechanomyographically. The influence of inclusion of data from early arterial sampling on PK/PD modeling was determined. Furthermore, the concentrations in the effect compartment at 50% block (EC50) derived from modeling were compared to the measured concentration in plasma during a steady state 50% block. A very high peak in arterial plasma concentration was seen within 20 sec after administration of the NMBA. Extensive modeling revealed that plasma concentrations obtained from early arterial blood sampling improve PK/PD modeling. Independent of the type of modeling, the EC50 and KeO based on data sets that include early arterial blood sampling were, for all five NMBAs, significantly higher and lower respectively, than those based on data sets obtained from late sampling. Early arterial sampling shows that the mixing of the NMBA in the central volume of distribution is incomplete. A parametric PD (sigmoid Emax) model could not describe the time course of effect of the NMBAs adequately.     

Enantioselective pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic modelling of carvedilol in a NG‐nitro‐l‐arginine methyl ester rat model of secondary hypertension

Objectives The role of vascular sympatholytic activity of carvedilol in its antihypertensive effect in N^G‐nitro‐l ‐arginine methyl ester (L‐NAME) hypertensive rats was assessed by means of enantioselective pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic (PK‐PD) modelling. Methods Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: control rats received tap water to drink for 2 weeks while L‐NAME rats received L‐NAME solution to drink for 2 weeks. The effects of carvedilol (1 and 5 mg/kg i.v.) on blood pressure, heart rate and blood pressure variability were recorded. Enantioselective carvedilol plasma pharmacokinetics were studied by means of traditional blood sampling. The relationship between carvedilol concentrations and their hypotensive and bradycardic effects was established by means of PK‐PD modelling. Vascular sympatholytic activity of carvedilol was assessed by the estimation of drug effects on low frequency blood pressure variability by means of spectral analysis. Key findings A dose‐dependent increase in volume of distribution, as well as a greater volume of distribution and clearance of S‐carvedilol as compared with the R‐enantiomer was found in both experimental groups. Although the PK‐PD properties of the S‐carvedilol chronotropic effect were not altered in L‐NAME rats, hypertensive rats showed greater potency and efficacy to the carvedilol hypotensive response. Greater potency of carvedilol for inhibition of sympathetic vascular activity was found in L‐NAME rats. Conclusions Carvedilol showed enantioselective non‐linear pharmacokinetic properties in both groups. An enhanced hypotensive activity of carvedilol was found in L‐NAME hypertensive rats compared with control rats, which may be explained by the greater potency of carvedilol for sympathetic vascular tone inhibition.     

Linagliptin for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (pharmacokinetic evaluation)

INTRODUCTION: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors offer new options for the management of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The novel compound linagliptin has important different pharmacokinetic (PK) properties, when compared with previously commercialized DPP-4 inhibitors, which may offer some advantages in clinical practice. Linagliptin has a unique PK/pharmacodynamic (PD) profile and is the first DPP-4 inhibitor with a nonrenal elimination route. Therefore, it can be administered in patients with renal impairment without dose adjustment or monitoring of renal function. The drug has a low potential for drug-drug interactions (DDIs) and no clinically relevant ones were reported so far. AREAS COVERED: An extensive literature search was performed to analyse primarily PK and secondarily PD characteristics of linagliptin in both healthy volunteers and patients with T2DM (treated with linagliptin as monotherapy or combined therapy). Updated information about linagliptin PK either after single administration (large dose range) or after chronic administration (steady state) were also included. A special focus has been put on DDIs and on PK/PD of linagliptin in patients with renal impairment. EXPERT OPINION: Head-to-head comparative studies and/or increased clinical experience with DPP-4 inhibitors will determine the clinical advantage, if any, of one agent over another.
