Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the pharmacokinetics of mycophenolic acid( MPA)and its metabolites in different stages af-ter the administration of enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium( EC-MPS)tablets in Chinese liver transplant recipients. Methods:The blood samples of 24 patients were collected in 0-12h of the 1st and 3rd week after the administration of EC-MPS. The concentrations of MPA,AcMPAG and MPAG in plasma were measured by LC-MS/MS developed in our lab. The pharmacokinetic parameters of MPA and its metabolites were estimated by non-compartmental method. Results:After 1-and 3-week therapy with EC-MPS,Cmax ,AUC0-12 and t1/2 was(18. 1 ± 8. 75)and(20. 7 ± 16. 0)μg ml-1 ,(42. 7 ± 17. 5)and(47. 1 ± 23. 9)μg·h·ml-1 ,(3. 33 ± 2. 81)and (3.30 ±1.89)h for MPA;(2.50 ±1.86)and(1.78 ±1.72)μg·ml-1,(14.5 ±11.7)and(6.97 ±6.57)μg·h·ml-1, (4. 48 ± 2. 53)and(3. 76 ± 1. 8)h for AcMPAG;(171. 6 ± 135. 4)and(152. 2 ± 115. 9)μg·ml-1 ,(1299 ± 1 204)and(1 051 ± 561)μg·h·ml-1 ,(8. 73 ± 4. 25)and(7. 75 ± 2. 87)h for MPAG,respectively. There was no significant difference in the PK parameters of MPA after the 1-and 3-week therapy. The Cmax ,Tmax and t1/2 of MPA in the patients received EC-MPS were significantly higher than those in the patients received MMF(P<0. 05). Cmax and AUC0-12 of MPAG in the patients received EC-MPS were signifi-cantly higher than those in the patients received MMF after the 3-week therapy(P<0. 05). Conclusion:There is no significant accu-mulation of MPA after the therapy with EC-MPS at different stages. The absorption of MPA is delayed after the therapy with EC-MPS compared with that with MMF. There is no difference in MPA exposure between EC-MPS and MMF in Chinese liver transplant patients.
