Dược Động Học :
▧ Absorption :
The mean oral bioavailability in healthy male subjects is 6% after an oral dose equivalent to 400 mg tiludronic acid administered after an overnight fast and 4 hours before a standard breakfast. In single-dose studies, bioavailability was reduced by 90% when an oral dose equivalent to 400 mg tiludronic acid was administered with, or 2 hours after, a standard breakfast compared to the same dose administered after an overnight fast and 4 hours before a standard breakfast.
▧ Protein binding :
Approximately 90% bound to human serum protein (mainly albumin) at plasma concentrations between 1 and 10 mg/L.
▧ Metabolism :
In vitro, tiludronic acid is not metabolized in human liver microsomes and hepatocytes. There is no evidence that tiludronate is metabolized in humans.
▧ Route of Elimination :
The principal route of elimination of tiludronic acid is in the urine.
▧ Half Life :
Half-life in healthy subjects is 50 hours following administration of a 400 mg single oral dose. Half-life in pagetic patients is about 150 hours following administration of 400 mg tiludronate a day for 12 days. In patients with renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance between 11 and 18 mL per minute [mL/min]), half-life is 205 hours from plasma after administration of a single, oral dose equivalent to 400 mg tiludronate.
▧ Clearance :
* renal cl=10 mL/min [IV administration of 20-mg dose]
