Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modelling of robenacoxib in a feline tissue cage model of inflammation
Résumé
Robenacoxib is a novel nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug developed for use in cats. It is a highly selective COX-2 inhibitor. Results from previous feline studies showed that, despite a short half-life in blood, the effect of robenacoxib persisted for 24 h in clinical studies. A tissue cage model of acute inflammation was used to determine robenacoxib's pharmacokinetics and its ex vivo and in vivo selectivity for COX-1 and COX-2 using serum TxB(2) and exudate PGE2 as surrogate markers for enzyme activity, respectively. After intravenous, subcutaneous and oral administration (2 mg/kg), the clearance of robenacoxib from blood was rapid (0.54-0.71 L h/kg). The mean residence time (MRT) in blood was short (0.4, 1.9 and 3.3 h after intravenous, subcutaneous and oral administration, respectively), but in exudate MRT was approximately 24 h regardless of the route of administration. Robenacoxib inhibition of COX-1 in blood was transient, occurring only at high concentrations, but inhibition of COX-2 in exudate persisted to 24 h. The potency ratio (IC(50) COX-1: IC(50) COX-2) was 171: 1, and slopes of the concentration-effect relationship were 1.36 and 1.12 for COX-1 and COX-2, respectively. These data highlight the enzymatic selectivity and inflamed tissue selectivity of robenacoxib and support the current recommendation of once-daily administration.
