Abstract:
Objective To investigate the pharmacokinetics of mycophe-nolate mofetil ( MMF) in Chinese adult patients with autoimmune disea-ses.Methods Fourteen patients with autoimmune disease were included in this study.Oral dose ( MMF 0.75 g, q12 h) was given for the first time and 7 days later steady -state.Serum concentrations of the myco-phenolic acid ( MPA) , an active metabolite of the pro -drug MMF, and its phenol glucuronide metabolite ( MPAG ) were determined by HPLC method.Pharmacokinetic parameters of MPA and MPAG were calculated and influences of renal function on MPA drug exposure and MPAG drug exposure in steady -state were investigated.Results The main pharma-cokinetic parameters of MPA after first -dose and steady -state were as follows: Cmax were ( 8.45 ±7.54 ) , ( 10.89 ±4.37 ) mg · L-1 , AUC0-12 h were (41.07 ±49.26 ), (55.09 ±41.74 ) mg· h· L-1 and the main pharmacokinetic parameters of MPAG after first -dose and steady-state were as follows: Cmax were (41.24 ±28.57 ), (67.63 ± 36.98) mg · L-1, AUC0-12h were (487.25 ±326.53 ), (720.79 ± 413.86 ) mg· h· L-1.A large variability existed in pharmacokinetic parameters of MPA and MPAG.The differences in pharmacokinetic parameters are larger between individual patient of the two groups , the AUC0-12h of steady -state compared with the first administration were both obviously greater ( P<0.05 ).There was an obviously inverse relation-ship between MPAG drug exposure and renal function ( P<0.05 ) , however , MPA drug exposure was less affected by renal function ( P>0.05 ).Conclusion In patients with autoimmune disease receiving a fixed MMF dose , there is a large inter-individual variability of MMF pharmacokinetics and accumulation of MPA and MPAG drug exposure .In addition, a significant accumulated phenomenon was found.
