Dược Động Học :
▧ Absorption :
Peak absorption of Eltrombopag occurs around 2-6 hours following oral administration, and the total oral absorption of drug-related material following a 75 mg dose was estimated to be at least 52%.
▧ Volume of Distribution :
Based on a radiolabel study, the concentration of eltrombopag in blood cells is approximately 50% to 79% of plasma concentrations.
▧ Protein binding :
Eltrombopag is highly protein bound (>99%).
▧ Metabolism :
Eltrombopag is predominantly through pathways including cleavage, oxidation, and conjugation with glucuronic acid, glutathione, or cysteine. In vitro studies suggest that CYP1A2 and CYP2C8 are responsible for the oxidative metabolism of eltrombopag. UGT1A1 and UGT1A3 are responsible for the glucuronidation of eltrombopag.
▧ Route of Elimination :
Eltrombopag is eliminated primarily via the feces (59%), along with 31% being renally excreted.
▧ Half Life :
About 21-32 hours in healthy patients.
About 26-35 hours in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
