Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of administration of levofloxacin and moxifloxacin on the pharmacokinetics of almonertinib in rats.
METHODS Eighteen rats were randomly divided into three groups, rats in group 1 were gavaged with 0.5% sodium carboxymethylcellulose, rats in group 2 were gavaged with levofloxacin(70 mg·kg−1), rats in group 3 were gavaged with moxifloxacin(40 mg·kg−1), and after 30 min each group were then gavaged with almonertinib(15 mg·kg−1), respectively. Plasma concentrations of almonertinib were determined by LC-MS/MS and pharmacokinetic parameters were compared between the groups.
RESULTS The main pharmacokinetic parameters of almonertinib in group 1, 2, and 3 were obtained as follows: AUC0-t was (194.47±53.42), (659.06±237.85) and (903.42±209.47) μg·L−1·h, respectively; peak concentration(Cmax) was (29.22±6.93), (51.12±15.93) and (81.97±31.96) μg·L−1, respectively; clearance(CL)z/F was (82.28±23.14), (25.50±9.53) and (17.21±4.05) L·h−1·kg−1, respectively; apparent volume of distribution(V)z/F was (358.37±141.80), (134.53±63.74) and (160.01±87.25) L·kg−1, respectively. Compared with the control group, the AUC of almonertinib increased by 2.4 fold, and Cmax increased by 75%, while CLz/F and Vz/F decreased 69% and 62% after combined administration of levofloxacin; the AUC, Cmax, Tmax and t1/2z of almonertinib increased by 3.7, 2.9, 2.4, 1.1-fold, respectively, while CLz/F and Vz/F decreased 79% and 55% after combined administration of moxifloxacin with statistically significant differences(all P<0.05).
CONCLUSION The combined administration of levofloxacin and moxifloxacin significantly affectes the pharmacokinetic profile of almonertinib in rats.
