Abstract: | Present study aims to improve efficiency and capacity of in vivo rat pharmacokinetic studies for rapid assessment of systemic exposure (AUC and C(max)) of new chemical entities. Plasma concentration-time profiles in rats from structurally diverse compounds were extracted from the Pfizer database. AUC(0-8) was calculated with 7 data points or a reduced subset of 3 data points. AUC values determined with 7 data points were compared to subset AUC values. A < or = 30% difference in values for 90% of cases was acceptance criteria. In parallel, samples were analyzed individually and pooled at each time point across compounds. For 96% of cases, AUC values estimated using 1, 4, and 8 h were comparable to AUC values obtained from 7 data points suggesting 1, 4, and 8 h sampling should be sufficient to estimate AUC. For C(max), the difference between 1, 4, and 8 h data-point analysis versus 7 data-point analysis is less than 30% for 72% of cases. Concentrations from individual versus pooled sample analysis were found to be equivalent. A rapid rat PK screening paradigm was created by the combination of 1, 4, and 8 h sampling and pooled sample analysis, which improves throughput and cycle time of in vivo PK studies. |
