Suction
After receiving the drug Teisuno in a dose of 50 mg (determined by the content of tegafur) in patients (at a dose of 30 mg / m2, determined by the surface area of the body 1.56-2.10 m2 in patients n = 14), the average time to reach the maximum concentration in blood plasma T max) of the components of the preparation of Teysuno, including tegafur, gimeracil and oteracil, was 0.5 hours, 1h and 2h, respectively. Mean values and standard deviations AUC and Cmax were 14595 ± 4340 ng * h / ml and 1762 ± 279 ng / ml in tegafur, 1884 ± 640 ng * h / ml and
452 ± Ю2 ng / ml in gimeracil, 556 ± 281 ng * h / ml and 112 ± 52 mg / ml in oteracil. Tmax The FU is 2 h, and the mean values AUCQ.jnf and Cmax - 842 ± 252 pg * h / ml and 174 ± 58 ng / ml.
Concentrations of tegafur, gimeracil and oteracil, as well as FU in the blood are determined within 10 hours. After using Teisuno in a dose of 30 mg / m, the equilibrium concentrations of tegafur, gimeracil and oteracil are reached no later than 8 day.
After repeated intake of the preparation of Teisuno (at a dose of 30 mg / m 2 per day for 14 days, n = 10), the median time Tmax tegafur, gimeracil and oteracil is 0.8 hours, 1 h and 2 h, respectively, and the mean standard deviation of the values AUC(0-12 h) and Cmax - 19967 ± 6027 ng * h / ml and 2970 ± 852 ng / ml in tegafur, 1483 ± 527 ig / h / ml and
305 ± 116 ng / ml in gimeracil, 692 ± 529 ng * h / ml and 122 ± 82 ng / ml in oteracil, respectively. Median of time Tmax The FU is 2 h, and the mean values AUC(0-12 h) and Cmax - 870 ± 405 ng * h / ml and 165 ± 62 ng / ml, respectively.
The use of Teisuno after eating is accompanied by a decrease AUC0-inf Oteracil by approximately 71% and gimeracil - by 25%, but compared with taking the drug on an empty stomach. Simultaneous intake of proton pump inhibitor drugs reduces the effect of food intake on the pharmacokinetic profile of oteracil, although it does not completely neutralize it. It is noted that AUCo-inf FU after meals decreases by 15%, however, the concentration in the plasma of tegafur does not change after eating (no effect of food on the concentration of tegafur).
Mean values AUC 0-jnf and Cmax FU were almost 3 times higher when taking Teisuno (at a dose of 50 mg in tegafur) but compared with monotherapy with tegafur (800 mg), while AUCo-jnf and FROMmax metabolite alpha-fluoro-beta-alanine (FAA) FU about 15-22 times lower after taking the drug Teisuno compared with the use of tegafur. Oteracil, which is part of the drug Teisuno, does not affect the pharmacokinetic profiles of FU, tegafur, gimeracil, FAA and uracil.Gimeracil does not change the pharmacokinetic profiles of tegafur.
Linearity / Nonlinearity of Pharmacokinetics
In a study on the dose selection of Teisuno, it was shown that plasma concentrations of tegafur, gimeracil, and oteracil increased in direct proportion to the dose in the range of 25 to 200 mg / kg. The tendency of a more significant increase in the concentration of FU compared with the increase in the concentration of tegafur in blood plasma was noted.
Distribution
Oteracil, gimeracil, FU, and tegafur bind to blood plasma proteins by 8.4%, 32.2%,
18.4% and 52.3%, respectively. The association with blood plasma proteins does not depend on the concentration when applied in the dose range above 0.1-1.0 μg / ml oteracil, gimeracil and FU and 1,2-11.8 mcg / ml - tegafur.
In spite of the lack of data on the intravenous administration of Teisuno in clinical trials, the volume distribution of the components of the preparation, 16 lm / m, 17 l / m and 23 l / m in tegafur, gimeracil and oteracil, respectively, can be estimated approximately by the expected volume of distribution and the rate of renal excretion.
Metabolism
Tegafur metabolite is produced from the liver under the influence of isoenzyme CYP2A6 cytochrome P450.transforming into FU. Ginsratsil was stable at homogenization (fractions S9) with lithium salt of adenosine-3 '-phosphate-5'-phosphosulfate (AFPS; cofactor of sulfotransferase) or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (11ADP). In the study in vitro It has been established that oteracil iodine is partially converted into 5-azauracil (5-amin) by the influence of gastric juice and without the participation of enzymes, and then to cyanuric acid (CA) in the gastrointestinal tract. Both metabolites of oteracil do not decrease the activity of the enzyme orotate-phosphoribosyltransferase (OPF). Metabolism in the liver undergoes only a small amount of oteracil, which is due to its low penetrating ability.
In the study in vitro on microsomes of the human liver showed that tegafur, gimsracil and oteracil did not inhibit the enzymatic activity of the studied isoenzymes of cytochrome P450 (eg, CYP1A1 / 2. CYP2A6, CYP2C8 / 9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1 and CYP3A4).
In studies in vitro on the basic cell cultures of the human liver, it is established that tegafur (0.7-70 μmol), gimeracil (0.2-25 μmol) and oteracil (0.04-4 μmol) have a weak ability to induce the metabolic activity of these isozymes CYP1A1/2, CYP2A6 and CYP3A4/5 or do not have this ability at all.
The concentration of uracil in blood plasma was determined in order to evaluate the activity of dehydropyridine dehydrohepase (DH1D) without significant changes in uracil plasma concentration after taking 800 mg of tegafur; however, after taking 50 mg of Teisuno, the concentration of uracil in the blood plasma increased significantly (due to the inhibitory DPD action of gimeracil). The maximum concentration of uracil, corresponding to inhibition of DPD, is observed approximately 4 hours after the start of the drug administration, either after a single dose of Teysuno (50 mg) and repeated (30 mg / m 2 daily). In both variants of drug administration, a comparable inhibitory effect is observed.
The concentration of uracil in the blood returns to baseline values approximately 48 hours after taking the drug, which indicates the reversibility of inhibition of DPD by gimeracil.
Excretion
The half-life (T 1/2) FU after taking the drug Teisuno (containing tegafur, the proliferation of FU) turned out to be more prolonged (about 1.6-1.9 hours) compared with T1/2 after intravenous administration of FU (10-20 minutes).After a single intake of the drug Teisuno T1/2 tegafur is 6.7-11.3 hours, gimeracil is 3.1-4.1 hours and oteracil is 1.8-9.5 hours.
After a single dose of Teysuno in unchanged form, 3,8-4,2% of the administered dose of tegafur, 65-72% of gimeracil and 3.5-3.9% of oteracil are excreted by the kidneys.
About 9.5-9.7% of the administered dose of tegafur is excreted by the kidneys in the form of FU and 70-77% - in the form of FAA. 83-91% of the injected dose of Teisuno (together tegafur + FU + FBA). When compared with tegafur's clearance in monotherapy, it is shown that gimeracil does not change the renal clearance of tegafur, FAA and FU when taking Teisuno.
Pharmacokinetics in special patient groups Studies conducted in special populations
The concentration in the blood plasma of gimeracil and FU has the most significant effect such a factor as a decrease in renal function, which is determined by the magnitude of creatinine clearance (CC). The tendency of influence on the pharmacokinetics of Teisuno's drug of the age of patients was noted, as the kidney function decreases with age, which is also determined by the magnitude of creatinine clearance.
In patients with impaired renal function
In a comparative study of the pharmacokinetics of the active substances of Teisuno and their metabolites in patients with normal and reduced renal function,that in patients with mild renal impairment (KK 51-80 ml / min) and receiving the same dose of the drug, patients with normal function in monotherapy of 30 mg / m 2 (the maximum tolerated dose in monotherapy), as well as in patients with normal renal function (CC> 80 ml / min), an increase in the value AUCo-inf FU compared with patients who have a preserved kidney function. In patients with moderate renal impairment (KK 30-50 ml / min) and receiving a dose of Teisuno reduced to 20 mg / m 2 times a day, no increase in the value AUC0-inf -FU compared with patients who have impaired renal function.
An increase in the concentration of FU in the blood plasma in patients with mild renal impairment and the results of population pharmacokinetic analysis suggest that close plasma concentrations of FU can be achieved both in patients with mild renal impairment when using Teisuno in dose of 25 mg / m2 dose twice a day, and in patients without disturbances of kidney function when taking Teisuno in a dose of 30 mg / m2 dose 2 once a day, as well as in patients with a moderate degree of renal dysfunction that receive a dose of the drug 20 mg / m.
After applying a dose of Teisuno I reduced to 20 mg / m once a day in patients with severe renal dysfunction (CK <30 ml / min), AUC0-inf FU after a single and AUC0-ῖ FU after repeated application of the drug Teisuno increase in 2 times in comparison with the values in the troupe of patients with normal renal function receiving a preparation of Teisuno in a dose of 30 mg / m2 2 times a day. In this regard, the daily exposure of FU should be comparable in both groups, since the daily exposure in patients with severe disorders of the night is based on the use of Teysuno 1 time per day, while the daily exposure of FU in patients with normal renal function is based on taking the drug Teisuno 2 times a day. It should be noted that exposure to FU may vary and may be unexpectedly higher in patients with severe renal dysfunction due to decreased renal function in these patients.
In patients with impaired hepatic function
With a single or multiple administration of Teisuno in a dose of 30 mg / m 2 per day in patients with mild,moderate and severe degree of liver function abnormalities, there were no significant differences in the concentrations of tegafur, gimeracil and oteracil in blood plasma, but compared with patients with no liver function impairment.
In patients with severe liver function impairment but compared with patients with normal liver function, a single dose of the drug was accompanied by a statistically significant decrease Cmax FU and gimeracil, but with repeated use of the drug, these differences were observed.
Have patients of different ethnic groups
In a comparative study of the pharmacokinetics of Tsisuno in monotherapy in patients from Asia (China, Malaysia) and Europeans (US patients), it was shown that in Asian patients due to a lower isoenzyme activity CYP2A6, AUC0-12 tegafur higher, and T1/2 - longer than in the case of the Naziite-Europeans. AUCo-12 gimeracil and uracil in both groups were comparable, which may indicate that the inhibitory effects on the PDD of the liver in the studied patient groups are similar. Exposure of FU was not statistically different in both groups. AUC0-12 oteracil - in 2 times lower in Asian patients than in Europeans, but this difference was statistically unreliable, probably due to high inter-individual variability.
Have children
The pharmacokinetics of Teisuno in children were not studied.
