  • This study reports the pharmacokinetics of a novel histone deacetylase inhibitor, SD-0542, in rats after i..v. and oral administration. SD-0542 was injected intravenously at doses of 10, 20, and 40 mg/kg. The terminal elimination half-life $(t_{1/2})$, systemic clearance (Cl), and steady-state volume of distribution $(V_{ss})$ remained unaltered as a function of dose, with their values ranging from 2.0-2.5 hr, 157.2-214.1 ml/min/kg, and 11.1-17.5 L/kg, respectively, whereas, the initial serum concentration $(C_0)$ and AUC increased linearly as the dose was increased. Renal excretion of SD-0542 was minimal. Oral pharmacokinetic studies were conducted in rats at a dose of 20 mg/kg. The $T_{max}$, Cl/F, $V_{z}/F$, and $t_{1/2}$ were 2.0 hr, 92864 ml/min/kg, 16331 L/kg, and 2.0 hr, respectively. Taken together, SD-0542 showed linear pharmacokinetics over the i.v. bolus dose range studied. SD-0542 was poorly absorbed, with the absolute oral bioavailability of 0.9%.

  • Cytochrome P-450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is major enzyme in human liver, the role of this is detoxification and metabolizing more than 50% clinical drugs in use. Expression of CYP3A4 is transciptionally regulated by the Pregnenolone X receptor (PXR), of which human form is Steroid and Xenobiotics receptor (SXR). SXR is activated by wide range of endogenous and exogenous compounds, and then induces CYP3A4 gene expression. In the previous study, it has been known that proximal promoter (-864 to +64) does not response to chemical inducers such as pregnenolone 16a-carbonitrile (PCN), Rifampicin, Estrogen in terms of transcription of CYP 3A4 in cultured cells. Here, we developed luciferase reporter gene assay system to detect SXR-based CYP 3A4 transcriptional activity. We have used CYP3A4-Luc plasmid that contains proximal promoter of human CYP3A4 gene upstream of the luciferase gene. We did transient transfection of 3A4-luciferase gene and SXR. In the HepG2 cells transfected with CYP3A4-Luc, when rifampicin treatment was combined with histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDAC Inhibitor), such as Trichostatin A, Hc-toxin and IN 2001 of the luciferase activity was induced 10-20 fold over control.
