Unexpected relationship between plasma protein binding and the pharmacodynamics of 2-NAP, a CCK1-receptor antagonist.

Abstract：

UNLABELLED:WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS SUBJECT?: * Two chemically diverse CCK1 receptor antagonists have been shown clinically to inhibit CCK-evoked contraction of human gallbladder [2, 3]. These studies have not examined the relationship between plasma concentration and effect, the latter usually considered to be predictive from the free drug concentration [8]. * We wanted to examine our novel CCK1 receptor antagonist in this validated model and also to explore its PK-PD relationship. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:* 2-NAP inhibited CCK-evoked human gallbladder contraction in vivo but at a plasma free concentration that was, in theory, too low to have achieved adequate CCK1 receptor occupancy. * The study serves as a caveat to the assumption that free plasma concentration can be used to predict pharmacological effect. AIMS:To study the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of 2-NAP (2-naphthalenesulfonyl-L-aspartyl-(2-phenethyl)amide), a selective CCK1 receptor antagonist in healthy volunteers. METHODS:2-NAP was given to 12 healthy male volunteers in an ascending dose, safety and PK phase 1a study by 1 h i.v. infusion (0.6-9.6 mg kg(-1) h(-1)). A further 12 healthy male volunteers received i.v. CCK-8S (6.25 pmol kg(-1) h(-1)) to produce gallbladder contraction, measured by ultrasound recordings of gallbladder volume, and the effect of concurrent i.v. 2-NAP administration was studied. Plasma protein binding in vitro and ex vivo was measured by ultrafiltration and by equilibrium dialysis. RESULTS:2-NAP was generally well tolerated, displayed linear pharmacokinetics and a very high degree of plasma protein binding (99.9%). A 105 min i.v. CCK-8S infusion induced a reduction in gallbladder volume of 14.9 (+/-7.0) ml during placebo co-infusion and this was reduced to 2.4 (+/-5.9) ml when 2-NAP was co-infused with CCK-8S (P = 0.00024, paired t-test, mean change 12.5 ml; 95% CI For mean 7.4, 18.3 ml). This extent of inhibition was consistent with a 2-NAP total plasma concentration of 36 microm, but when protein binding corrections were made, the 'free concentration' of 2-NAP was only 0.04 microm, a value much less than the average equilibrium dissociation constant of 2-NAP for human CCK1 receptors ( approximately 0.7 microm). CONCLUSIONS:The pharmacological effect of a drug is usually considered to be determined by its free concentration. However, the complete inhibition of CCK-8S-evoked gallbladder contraction by a free plasma concentration of 0.04 microm 2-NAP was much greater than would have been predicted from simple drug-receptor occupancy theory and cautions against the general use of free concentration of drug for predicting pharmacological effect.
