Effects of Single Dose Rifampin on the Pharmacokinetics of Fluvastatin in Healthy Volunteers.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to determine the effects of the OATP inhibitor rifampin on pharmacokinetic of Biopharmaceutics Drug Disposition Classification System Class 1 compound fluvastatin. A crossover study was carried out in 10 healthy subjects who were randomized to 2 phases to receive fluvastatin 20 mg orally alone and following a 30-minute 600 mg i.v. infusion of rifampin. The results demonstrated that i.v. rifampin increased the mean area under the plasma fluvastatin concentration-time curve (AUC_0-∞ ) by 255%, mean peak plasma concentration (C_max ) by 254%, decreased oral volume of distribution by 71%, whereas the mean elimination terminal half-life (T_1/2 ), mean absorption time (MAT), and time to peak concentration (T_peak ) of fluvastatin did not significantly change. The study demonstrated that rifampin exhibited a significant drug interaction with fluvastatin. The mechanism of the increased plasma concentrations is likely due to inhibition of OATP transporters in hepatocytes.

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.).
