METABOLISM AND PHARMACOKINETICS Sample Clauses

METABOLISM AND PHARMACOKINETICS. Validated assays for quantifying PLT 99511 in plasma will be developed to support formulation development, toxicology and the Phase I clinical study. The pharmacokinetic study design and data analysis will allow the determination of key parameters such as CMAX, TMAX, AUC, and T-HALF. Other pharmacokinetic parameters will be calculated as necessary.

METABOLISM AND PHARMACOKINETICS. Levosimendan is extensively metabolized before excretion into urine and feces. The main pathway is conjugation with glutathione to form inactive metabolites. The minor pathway (approximately 6% of the total levosimendan dose) is reduction in the intestine to an intermediate metabolite OR-1855, which is further acetylated to an active metabolite, OR-1896.21 The terminal elimination half-life of levosimendan is about 1 hour both in healthy volunteers and in patients with heart failure and it rapidly disappears from the circulation after the infusion is stopped. The elimination half-life of the metabolite OR-1896 is 70-80 hours in heart failure patients and the maximum concentrations are only seen 2-4 days after starting a 24-hour infusion. Thereafter the metabolite is slowly eliminated within two weeks. The metabolite OR-1896 has been shown to have hemodynamic and pharmacologic properties similar to those of the parent drug in preclinical models, whereas the metabolite OR-1855 had only minor pharmacodynamic effects.22-26 Although patients with a rapid acetylator phenotype produce more OR-1896 than slow acetylators, the hemodynamic responses are similar in the two acetylator types, and no dose adjustments are needed in clinical practice.27 In patients undergoing cardiac surgery, the formation of the metabolites OR-1855 and OR-1896 has been shown to be delayed. Compared to the 2-4 days after initiation of a 24-hour levosimendan infusion in chronic heart failure patients,28 the maximum OR-1896 concentrations were only seen 6 days after starting the infusion in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.29 The reason is not fully known, but may be related to initiation of therapy following a fasting state and the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. These conditions reduce populations of intestinal bacteria involved in the acetylation of levosimendan, leading to reduced/delayed formation of metabolites OR-1855 and OR-1896. The steady state plasma concentrations of the parent drug were also somewhat lower in cardiac surgery patients than in chronic heart failure with the AUC 14% lower with similar dosing (approximately 1200 vs. 1400 h × ng/mL, respectively).29
