Abstract

Purpose: To develop a whole physiologically based pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PBPK-PD) model to describe the pharmacokinetics and anti-gastric acid secretion of omeprazole in CYP2C19 extensive metabolizers (EMs), intermediate metabolizers (IMs), poor metabolizers (PMs) and ultrarapid metabolizers (UMs) following oral or intravenous administration.

Methods: A PBPK/PD model was built using Phoenix WinNolin software. Omeprazole was mainly metabolized by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 and the CYP2C19 polymorphism was incorporated using in vitro data. We described the PD by using a turn-over model with parameter estimates from dogs and the effect of a meal on the acid secretion was also implemented. The model predictions were compared to 53 sets of clinical data.

Results: Predictions of omeprazole plasma concentration (72.2%) and 24 h stomach pH after administration (85%) were within 0.5-2.0-fold of the observed values, indicating that the PBPK-PD model was successfully developed. Sensitivity analysis demonstrated that the contributions of the tested factors to the plasma concentration of omeprazole were Vmax,2C19 ≈ Papp > Vmax,3A4 > Kti, and contributions to its pharmacodynamic were Vmax,2C19 > kome > kms > Papp > Vmax,3A4. The simulations showed that while the initial omeprazole dose in UMs, EMs, and IMs increased 7.5-, 3- and 1.25-fold compared to those of PMs, the therapeutic effect was similar.

Conclusions: The successful establishment of this PBPK-PD model highlights that pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of drugs can be predicted using preclinical data. The PBPK-PD model also provided a feasible alternative to empirical guidance for the recommended doses of omeprazole.
