Abstract:
:In a previous study we demonstrated the dependency of cyclosporine (CyA) pharmacokinetics on the age and gender of Wistar rats given 10 mg/kg intravenously. The present study has been conducted under the same experimental conditions (10 mg/kg as a single intravenous dose) to identify the mechanisms behind such differences. On the one hand, drug distribution was studied by measuring the CyA levels in blood, liver, kidney, spleen, adipose tissue, skin and muscle at 48 h post-treatment by using a specific fluorescence polarization immunoassay (m-FPIA, Abbott Laboratories). Drug blood and tissue levels in male rats were significantly higher than the female counterparts except for adipose tissue where the concentrations were 2-fold higher in females. In males, the highest CyA concentrations were observed in the liver, followed in rank order by kidney and spleen, fat, skin, muscle, then blood. On the contrary, females showed the highest drug levels in fat, followed by liver, kidney, spleen, skin, muscle and blood. Age exerted a significant influence on CyA tissue levels in males but no effect was observed in females. The potential differences in drug metabolism were established by measuring (HPLC) the amounts of CyA and its metabolites accumulated in faeces after hepatic biotransformation and biliary excretion. The amounts of circulating metabolites in blood as well as those accumulated and excreted in the liver and urine were also estimated by using specific (m-FPIA) and non-specific fluorescence polarization immunoassay (p-FPIA, Abbott Laboratories), respectively. The analysis of faeces revealed that AM9 was the major identified metabolite with females excreting lower amounts of unchanged CyA than males. In addition, the comparison of the AUC values corresponding to parent CyA and total CyA derivatives suggested that blood concentrations of CyA metabolites were higher in females indicating higher biotransformation rates. Therefore, both CyA distribution and metabolism are responsible for the sex-associated differences in drug pharmacokinetics previously found in rats.
