▧ Absorption :
The pharmacokinetics of canagliflozin is similar in healthy subjects and patients with type 2 diabetes. Plasma Cmax and AUC of canagliflozin increased in a dose-proportional manner from 50 mg to 300 mg. Accumulation in plasma has been observed following multiple doses of 100 - 300 mg. Food does not affect the absorption of canagliflozin.
Tmax = 1- 2 hours;
Cmax = 1059 - 3148 ng/mL;
Time to steady state, once daily dose, 100 - 300 mg = 4-5 days;
Absolute oral bioavailability = 65%.
▧ Volume of Distribution :
Steady state, single IV infusion, healthy subject = 119 L. This high value suggests that cangliflozin is extensively distributed to tissue.
▧ Protein binding :
>99% protein bound, mainly to albumin. It also binds to alpha-acid glycoprotein. Protein binding is independent of canagliflozin plasma concentrations. Plasma protein binding is not meaningfully altered in patients with renal or hepatic impairment.
▧ Metabolism :
Canagliflozin is hepatically metabolized via O-glucuronidation into two inactive O-glucuronide metabolites. The enzymes that facilitate this process are UGT1A9 and UGT2B4. To a lesser extent (7%), canagliflozin also undergoes oxidative metabolism via CYP3A4. Canagliflozin weakly inhibited CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4 based on in vitro studies with human hepatic microsomes.
▧ Route of Elimination :
Enterohepatic circulation of canagliflozin was negligible.
When a single oral dose is administered to a healthy subject, canagliflozin is eliminated via the following:
Feces (41.5%, 7.0%, 3.2% as canagliflozin, a hydroxylated metabolite, and an O-glucuronide metabolite, respectively).
Urine (33%; 30.5% as O-glucuronide metabolite, <1% as unchanged drug).
▧ Half Life :
The apparent terminal half-life (t1/2) was 10.6 hours and 13.1 hours for the 100 mg and 300 mg doses, respectively.
▧ Clearance :
Mean systemic clearance, healthy subjects, IV administration = 192 mL/min.
Renal clearance of canagliflozin 100 mg and 300 mg doses ranged from 1.30 to 1.55 mL/min.
