Pharmacokinetic Characterization of Supinoxin and Its Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling in Rats.

ABSTRACT: Supinoxin is a novel anticancer drug candidate targeting the Y593 phospho-p68 RNA helicase, by exhibiting antiproliferative activity and/or suppression of tumor growth. This study aimed to characterize the in vitro and in vivo pharmacokinetics of supinoxin and attempt physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling in rats. Supinoxin has good permeability, comparable to that of metoprolol (high permeability compound) in Caco-2 cells, with negligible net absorptive or secretory transport observed. After an intravenous injection at a dose range of 0.5-5 mg/kg, the terminal half-life (i.e., 2.54-2.80 h), systemic clearance (i.e., 691-865 mL/h/kg), and steady state volume of distribution (i.e., 2040-3500 mL/kg) of supinoxin remained unchanged, suggesting dose-independent (i.e., dose-prop
