Dược Động Học :
▧ Absorption :
The absolute oral bioavailability of itraconazole is 55%, and is maximal when taken with a full meal.
▧ Volume of Distribution :
* 796 ± 185 L
▧ Protein binding :
99.8%
▧ Metabolism :
Itraconazole is extensively metabolized by the liver into a large number of metabolites, including hydroxyitraconazole, the major metabolite. The main metabolic pathways are oxidative scission of the dioxolane ring, aliphatic oxidation at the 1-methylpropyl substituent, N-dealkylation of this 1-methylpropyl substituent, oxidative degradation of the piperazine ring and triazolone scission.
▧ Route of Elimination :
Itraconazole is metabolized predominately by the cytochrome P450 3A4 isoenzyme system (CYP3A4) in the liver, resulting in the formation of several metabolites, including hydroxyitraconazole, the major metabolite. Fecal excretion of the parent drug varies between 3-18% of the dose. Renal excretion of the parent drug is less than 0.03% of the dose. About 40% of the dose is excreted as inactive metabolites in the urine. No single excreted metabolite represents more than 5% of a dose.
▧ Half Life :
21 hours
▧ Clearance :
* 381 +/- 95 mL/minute [IV administration]
