Metabolism and excretion of novel pulmonary-targeting docetaxel liposome in rabbits.

ABSTRACT: Our study aims to determine the metabolism and excretion of novel pulmonary-targeting docetaxel liposome (DTX-LP) using the in vitro and in vivo animal experimental models. The metabolism and excretion of DTX-LP and intravenous DTX (DTX-IN) in New Zealand rabbits were determined with ultraperformance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. We found DTX-LP and DTX-IN were similarly degraded in vitro by liver homogenates and microsomes, but not metabolized by lung homogenates. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry identified two shared DTX metabolites. The unconfirmed metabolite M _un differed structurally from all DTX metabolites identified to date. DTX-LP likewise had a similar in vivo metabolism to DTX-IN. Conversely, DTX-LP showed significantly diminished excretion in rabbit feces or urine, approximately halving the cumulative excretion rates compared to DTX-IN. Liposomal delivery of DTX did not alter the in vitro or in vivo drug metabolism. Delayed excretion of pulmonary-targeting DTX-LP may greatly enhance the therapeutic efficacy and reduce the systemic toxicity in the chemotherapy of non-small cell lung cancer. The identification of M _un may further suggest an alternative species-specific metabolic pathway.

Project description:Zoliflodacin is a novel spiropyrimidinetrione with activity against bacterial type II topoisomerases that inhibits DNA biosynthesis and results in accumulation of double-strand cleavages in bacteria. We report results from two phase 1 studies that investigated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of zoliflodacin and absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) after single doses in healthy volunteers. In the single ascending dose study, zoliflodacin was rapidly absorbed, with a time to maximum concentration of drug in serum (Tmax) between 1.5 and 2.3 h. Exposure increased dose proportionally up to 800 mg and less than dose proportionally between 800 and 4,000 mg. Urinary excretion of unchanged zoliflodacin was <5.0% of the total dose. In the fed state, absorption was delayed (Tmax, 4 h), accompanied by an increase in the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) at 1,500- and 3,000-mg doses. In the ADME study (3,000 mg orally), the PK profile of zoliflodacin had exposure (AUC and maximum concentration of drug in serum [Cmax]) similar to that of the ascending dose study and a median Tmax of 2.5 h. A total of 97.8% of the administered radioactivity was recovered in excreta, with urine and fecal elimination accounting for approximately 18.2% and 79.6% of the dose, respectively. The major clearance pathway was via metabolism and elimination in feces with low urinary recovery of unchanged drug (approximately 2.5%) and metabolites accounting for 56% of the dose excreted in the feces. Zoliflodacin represented 72.3% and metabolite M3 accounted for 16.4% of total circulating radioactivity in human plasma. Along with the results from these studies and based upon safety, PK, and PK/pharmacodynamics targets, a dosage regimen was selected for evaluation in a phase 2 study in urogenital gonorrhea. (The studies discussed in this paper have been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under identifiers NCT01929629 and NCT02298920.).
