Dược Động Học :
▧ Absorption :
The absolute bioavailability increases from 29% at a dose of 25 mg to 35% at a dose of 50 mg. Mean Cmax and AUC increase more than dose proportionally. This relationship is more apparent at doses above 50 mg. Females generally have a lower magnitude of increase of Cmax and AUCtau compared to males when doses of mirabegron doubles or quadruples. Steady state concentrations are achieved within 7 days of once daily dosing with mirabegron. After once daily administration, plasma exposure of mirabegron at steady state is approximately double that seen after a single dose.
Tmax, oral dose, healthy subjects= 3.5 hours;
▧ Volume of Distribution :
Vd, steady state, IV dose = 1670 L. This high value suggests that mirabegron is extensively distributed in the body.
▧ Protein binding :
71% bound to plasma proteins. It binds to albumin and alpha-1-acid glycoprotein with moderate affinity.
▧ Metabolism :
Mirabegron is metabolized via multiple pathways involving dealkylation, oxidation, (direct) glucuronidation, and amide hydrolysis. The major circulating entity is mirabegron. Two major and inactive metabolites (phase 2 glucuronides) are produced. Although mirabegron is a substrate for CYP2D6 and CYP3A4, its role in the elimination of the drug is limited. Studies also suggest that CYP3A4 is the main enzyme that facilitates the oxidative metabolism of the drug. Furthermore, butylcholinesterase, uridine diphospho-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT), and possibly alcohol dehydrogenase may be involved with the metabolism of mirabegron.
▧ Route of Elimination :
Mirabegron is eliminated via urine (radiolabeled drug: 55%; unchanged drug: ~25%) and feces (radiolabeled drug: 34%; unchanged drug: 0%). Renal elimination of mirabegron is primarily through active tubular secretion and glomerular filtration. Extent of elimination via urine is dose-dependent.
▧ Half Life :
Terminal elimination half-life = 50 hours
▧ Clearance :
Total body clearance (CLtot), IV dose = 57 L/h;
Renal clearance (CLR) = 13 L/h
