PMID- 33189559 OWN - NLM STAT- MEDLINE DCOM- 20210824 LR - 20210824 IS - 1880-0920 (Electronic) IS - 1347-4367 (Linking) VI - 35 IP - 6 DP - 2020 Dec TI - Pharmacokinetics, safety and metabolite profiling of minesapride, a novel 5-HT(4) receptor partial agonist, in healthy elderly and young subjects. PG - 563-570 LID - S1347-4367(20)30418-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.dmpk.2020.09.005 [doi] AB - Minesapride is a novel 5-hydroxytryptamine 4 (5-HT(4)) receptor partial agonist that is expected to show efficacy in patients with irritable bowel syndrome with predominant constipation and functional constipation. An open-label study was conducted to evaluate pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of minesapride. Japanese subjects, 12 elderly and 12 young, received a single oral dose of minesapride 40 mg/day in the fasted state. Metabolite profiles were also investigated in this clinical study and in an in vitro study using cryopreserved hepatocytes. Clinical results showed that minesapride was rapidly absorbed (C(max): 2302.1 ng/mL in the elderly group, 2117.5 ng/mL in the young group), and the plasma concentration then decreased with half-life of approximately 7 h. There were no notable PK differences between elderly and young groups. No serious adverse events (AEs) were observed. The only AE that occurred in 2 or more subjects was diarrhea. Metabolite profiles in plasma and urine were similar between elderly and young groups. No major metabolites exceeded 10% of unchanged minesapride, and results of the in vitro study suggested that there were no human-specific metabolites. From the viewpoints of PK and metabolite profiling, no dose adjustment of minesapride is warranted in elderly population without renal or hepatic impairment.
