Abstract
Purpose
This metabolite profiling and identification analysis (part of a phase I absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion study) aimed to define biotransformation pathways and evaluate associated inter-individual variability in four patients with advanced solid tumors who received [14C]-ixazomib.
Methods
After administration of a single 4.1-mg oral dose of [14C]-ixazomib (total radioactivity [TRA] ~ 500 nCi), plasma (at selected timepoints), urine, and fecal samples were collected before dosing and continuously over 0–168-h postdose, followed by intermittent collections on days 14, 21, 28, and 35. TRA analysis and metabolite profiling were performed using accelerator mass spectrometry. Radiolabeled metabolites were identified using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry.
Results
Metabolite profiles were similar in plasma, urine, and feces samples across the four patients analyzed. All metabolites identified were de-boronated. In AUC0–816 h time-proportional pooled plasma, ixazomib (54.2% of plasma TRA) and metabolites M1 (18.9%), M3 (10.6%), and M2 (7.91%), were the primary components identified. M1 was the major metabolite, contributing to 31.1% of the 76.2% of the total dose excreted in urine and feces over 0–35-day postdose. As none of the identified metabolites had a boronic acid moiety, they are unlikely to be pharmacologically active.
Conclusions
Hydrolytic metabolism in conjunction with oxidative deboronation appears to be the principal process in the in vivo biotransformation pathways of ixazomib. The inference of formation-rate-limited clearance of ixazomib metabolites and the inferred lack of pharmacologic activity of identified circulating metabolites provides justification for use of parent drug concentrations/systemic exposure in clinical pharmacology analyses.
