A new method of consistency evaluation of brain drugs: a case study of edaravone
Bioequivalence test is typically conducted by determining the drug concentration in plasma. However, this is not suitable for brain drugs (like Edaravone) that have targets in CNS. The amount of a drug in target site in the CNS is responsible for its activity in the brain, while the concentration of a drug in the blood has a weak impact on the CNS. In this paper, a new consistency evaluation method for brain drugs was established. 16 rats were divided into two groups. One group was administered the test preparation, and the other group was administered the control preparation. Then, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples were collected. All of the CSF samples were examined by LC-MS. The 90 % confidence interval of the geometric mean ratio of AUC0-t was 90.30–150.59 %, and 91.79–211.06 % for Cmax. In addition, the result indicated that the two preparations were not bioequivalent in the CNS, although the concentration-time profile and pharmacokinetic parameters were quite similar. The results revealed the particularity and complexity of the bioequivalence test for brain drugs that have targets in the CNS. The feasibility of the test was confirmed, and our results provide useful information for the consistency evaluation of brain drugs.
期刊介绍:
Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology publishes peer reviewed articles that involve the generation, evaluation, and interpretation of experimental animal and human data that are of direct importance and relevance for regulatory authorities with respect to toxicological and pharmacological regulations in society. All peer-reviewed articles that are published should be devoted to improve the protection of human health and environment. Reviews and discussions are welcomed that address legal and/or regulatory decisions with respect to risk assessment and management of toxicological and pharmacological compounds on a scientific basis. It addresses an international readership of scientists, risk assessors and managers, and other professionals active in the field of human and environmental health.
Types of peer-reviewed articles published:
-Original research articles of relevance for regulatory aspects covering aspects including, but not limited to:
1.Factors influencing human sensitivity
2.Exposure science related to risk assessment
3.Alternative toxicological test methods
4.Frameworks for evaluation and integration of data in regulatory evaluations
5.Harmonization across regulatory agencies
6.Read-across methods and evaluations
-Contemporary Reviews on policy related Research issues
-Letters to the Editor
-Guest Editorials (by Invitation)
