Dược Động Học :
▧ Absorption :
Rapidly absorbed following oral administration.
▧ Volume of Distribution :
* 1000 L
▧ Protein binding :
Approximately 93 to 97% bound to plasma proteins.
▧ Metabolism :
Metabolism is hepatic by multiple enzymes, primarily CYP3A4, CYP2D6, and CYP1A2. After administration of a 75 mg radiolabeled dose to healthy volunteers, cinacalcet was rapidly and extensively metabolized via: 1) oxidative N-dealkylation to hydrocinnamic acid and hydroxy-hydrocinnamic acid, which are further metabolized via ß-oxidation and glycine conjugation; the oxidative N-dealkylation process also generates metabolites that contain the naphthalene ring; and 2) oxidation of the naphthalene ring on the parent drug to form dihydrodiols, which are further conjugated with glucuronic acid.
▧ Route of Elimination :
Cinacalcet is metabolized by multiple enzymes, primarily CYP3A4, CYP2D6 and CYP1A2. Renal excretion of metabolites was the primary route of elimination of radioactivity.
▧ Half Life :
Terminal half-life is 30 to 40 hours. The mean half-life of cinacalcet is prolonged by 33% and 70% in patients with moderate and severe hepatic impairment, respectively.
