ZHOU1, P. XU2, Y. SUN1,* Received November 23, 2020, accepted April 17, 2021 *Corresponding author: Yong Sun, Department of Pharmaceutics, School of Pharmacy, Qingdao University, Qingdao 266071, China [email protected] Pharmazie 76: 308-312 (2021) doi: 10.1691/ph.2021.0171 Objective: To compare the pharmacokinetic behavior of abiraterone acetate after oral administration of a lipid- based formulation tablet and a reference preparation, and to study the relative bioavailability of abiraterone acetate released from the lipid matrix-based tablet. Methods: Beagle dogs received a single dose orally. The experimental dosage was 75 mg/tablet, and the reference dosage was 250 mg/tablet. Six beagle dogs in each group were investigated with the method of 3 × 3 cross-administration. Blood plasma was collected and centri- fuged before administration and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 h after administration, and the plasma samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). Results: The half-life (T1/2) values of lipid-based formulation (LBF) abiraterone acetate tablet samples (75 mg/tablet) and reference tablets (250 mg/tablet) after oral administration were 3.42 and 4.27 h, respectively, while the area under the concentration time curve (AUC0-t) (h·ng/mL) values were 107.71 and 52.83, respectively. The F value of the relative bioavailability was 704.80%. Conclusion: The preparation method based on lipid matrix can significantly improve the bioavailability of abiraterone acetate tablets, which is a feasible method to improve the bioavailability of biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS) class IV drugs. 1. Introduction In this study, we prepared a lipid-based formulation (LBF), which Prostate cancer, with strong pathological heterogeneity and only dissolved and dispersed the insoluble drug in the lipid matrix 28% 5-year survival rate, is the second deadliest cancer in men in a molecular state, followed by the addition of an appropriate (Desborough et al. 2008). Abiraterone acetate inhibits key enzymes surfactant, dispersion of the insoluble drugs in the unano-pore size in androgen synthesis and has an inhibitory effect on androgen absorbents, and preparation of the oral solid formulation (Becker production in testes and other parts of the body. Therefore, it is et al. 2015; Shukla et al. 2011). After oral administration, LBF used in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer (Malikova et al. reduces the particle size of abiraterone as much as possible under 2017; Schweizer and Antonarakis 2012). the action of surfactants; thus, insoluble abiraterone and molecular The concept of the biopharmaceutical classification system was intestinal juice form a small particle size microemulsion that is first proposed in 1995. The drugs are classified into four cate- easily absorbed by intestinal epithelial cells, which increases the gories depending on their solubility and intestinal membrane bioavailability of oral preparations and improves their efficacy permeability. Among them, the biopharmaceutical classification (Kyatanwar et al. 2010; Pouton 2000; Taylor and Zhang 2016; system (BCS) class IV drug include drugs with low solubility and Williams et al. 2013). poor ability to cross the small-intestine epithelial cell membrane The Lipid Formula Classification System (LFCS) was proposed (Amidon et al. 1995; Schultz et al. 2020a,b), resulting in low and by Pouton. LFCS divides LBF into four main types depending on variable bioavailability. Abiraterone belongs to the BCS class IV the ratios of surfactants and co-surfactants (Pouton 2000, 2006). category (Benoist et al. 2016; Schultz et al. 2020a,b). Owing to its A self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) is a low intrinsic solubility, the absolute bioavailability of abiraterone type III lipid preparation, which is composed of lipids, surfactants, has not been successfully determined due to the inability to and co-surfactants. SMEDDS can effectively solve the problem of develop an acceptable intravenous formulation. The bioavail- formulating poorly soluble drugs with low solubility in the gastro- ability of abiraterone is 5% (Thakur 2015); however, since 92% intestinal fluids. Although the potential use of SMEDDS has been of abiraterone is metabolized to inactive metabolites in vivo, the known for some time, it has only been widely developed and used actual utilization rate is only 0.4% (Schultz et al. 2020a,b). in recent years. Many BCS class IV drug developments based on The traditional method to improve the solubility of insoluble drugs SMEDDS have been successful. mainly relies on improving their dispersion in aqueous solution To compare the bioavailability between abiraterone acetate LBF through the action of surfactants, which reduces the particle size and ordinary abiraterone acetate tablets, in this study we made of the drugs (Dokania and Joshi 2015; Larsen et al. 2008; Singh et abiraterone acetate LBF as tablet formulation, established the al. 2009). However, since the insoluble drugs and water belong to determination method of abiraterone acetate in beagles’ plasma by two-phase system, it is difficult to disperse the insoluble drugs in high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrom- the aqueous phase in the form of a single molecule, which results etry (HPLC–MS/MS), analyzed the pharmacokinetic parameters in large aggregate particle sizes of the insoluble drug, thereby of abiraterone acetate LBF and reference tablets after oral admin- limiting the effectiveness of this method in improving the insoluble istration, and provided references for the solid oral preparations of drugs’ bioavailability. abiraterone acetate (Benoist et al. 2016; Kim et al. 2017; Schultz 308 Pharmazie 76 (2021) ORIGINAL ARTICLES et al. 2020a,b; Solymosi et al. 2017a; Solymosi et al. 2017b; Xiao Table 1: Interday and intraday accuracy and precision of abiraterone et al. 2012). acetate in dog plasma Adding Interday Intraday 2.

  • Abiraterone Acetate for Chemotherapy-Naive
    Fan et al. BMC Urology (2018) 18:110 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12894-018-0416-6 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Abiraterone acetate for chemotherapy- naive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer: a single-centre prospective study of efficacy, safety, and prognostic factors Liancheng Fan†, Baijun Dong†, Chenfei Chi†, Yanqing Wang†, Yiming Gong†, Jianjun Sha, Jiahua Pan, Xun Shangguan, Yiran Huang, Lixin Zhou* and Wei Xue* Abstract Background: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of abiraterone acetate (AA) plus prednisone compared with prednisone alone in Asian patients with chemotherapy-naive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), and to identify predictive factors. Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 60 patients with chemotherapy-naive mCRPC at Renji Hospital who were treated with AA plus prednisone (n = 43) or prednisone alone (n = 17). All patients were assessed for prostate- specific antigen (PSA) response, PSA progression-free survival (PSA PFS), radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), and overall survival (OS). The ability of several parameters to predict PSA PFS, rPFS, and OS was studied. Results: The median follow-up time was 14.0 months (range 7.0–18.5 months), at which time 19 death events had been reported: 11 in the AA + prednisone group and 8 in the prednisone group. The AA + prednisone group had significantly longer median PSA PFS (10.3 vs 3.0 months, P < 0.001), rPFS (13.9 vs 3.9 months, P < 0.001), and OS (23. 3 vs 17.5 months, P = 0.016) than the prednisone-alone group. The most frequently reported grade 3 or 4 adverse event in both the AA + prednisone and prednisone-alone groups was elevated alanine aminotransferase level in 5 of 43 patients (11.6%) and 2 of 17 patients (11.8%), respectively.

Moreover, it disproportionately affects the men of African origin, who exhibit significantly greater incidence and mortality as compared to the men of European origin. Since androgens play an important role in the growth of normal prostate and prostate tumors, targeting of androgen signaling has remained a mainstay for the treatment of aggressive prostate cancer. Over the years, multiple approaches have been evaluated to effectively target the androgen signaling pathway that include direct targeting of the androgens, androgen receptor (AR), AR co-regulators or other alternate mechanisms that impact the outcome of androgen signaling.

  • HSD3B1 and Response to a Nonsteroidal CYP17A1 Inhibitor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
    Research JAMA Oncology | Brief Report HSD3B1 and Response to a Nonsteroidal CYP17A1 Inhibitor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Nima Almassi, MD; Chad Reichard, MD; Jianbo Li, PhD; Carly Russell, MS; Jaselle Perry, MS; Charles J. Ryan, MD; Terence Friedlander, MD; Nima Sharifi, MD Invited Commentary page 562 IMPORTANCE The HSD3B1 (1245C) germline variant encodes for a gain-of-function missense Related article page 558 in 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase isoenzyme 1 (3βHSD1) that results in increased dihydrotestosterone synthesis from extragonadal precursors and is predictive of more rapid progression to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). OBJECTIVE To determine whether the HSD3B1 (1245C) genotype is predictive of clinical response to extragonadal androgen ablation with nonsteroidal 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase (CYP17A1) inhibition in men with metastatic CRPC. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS An observational study of men with metastatic CRPC treated with ketoconazole between June 1998 and December 2012 was conducted at the University of California, San Francisco. EXPOSURES Extragonadal androgen ablation with the nonsteroidal CYP17A1 inhibitor ketoconazole among men with metastatic CRPC. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary end points of analysis were duration of ketoconazole therapy and time to disease progression stratified by HSD3B1 genotype. Disease progression was defined as either biochemical or radiographic progression, using the Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 and Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 definitions, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate time on therapy and time to disease progression. A log-rank test for trend was used to compare outcomes by HSD3B1 genotype. RESULTS A total of 90 men (median [interquartile range] age, 61.5 [55.3-67.0] years) with metastatic CRPC were included in the analysis, with sufficient data to determine duration of ketoconazole therapy and time to disease progression in 88 and 81 patients, respectively.
