PHARMACOKINETICS OF CAPECITABINE, OF TRIPLE-PRODRUG OF 5-FU: USEFULNESS OF PHYSIOLOGICALLY BASED PHARMACOKINETIC MODEL FOR QUANTITATIVE UNDERSTANDING OF TUMOR-SELECTIVE DISTRIBUTION OF 5-FU AFTER ORAL ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRIPLE-PRODRUG

Capecitabine, an orally administered triple prodrug of 5-FU shows tumor-preferential exposure of 5-FU by being sequentially metabolized to 5-FU by three enzymes, which show relatively specific organ expression. To investigate the mechanism of tumor-preferential exposure of 5-FU after oral administration of capecitabine, a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model describing the pharmacokinetic behaviors of capecitabine and its metabolites including 5-FU in humans was constructed. The factors that have the greatest influence on the pharmacokinetics of 5-FU after administration of capecitabine were clarified by sensitivity analyses. The sensitivity analysis demonstrated the exposure of tumor tissue to 5-FU depends mainly on the activity of both thymidine phosphorylase (producing enzyme of 5-FU from the precursor, 5'-DFUR) and DPD (eliminating enzyme of 5-FU) in tumor tissue, as well as blood flow rate in tumor tissue with saturation of DPD activity resulting in higher 5-FU AUC in tumor tissue. The therapeutic index of capecitabine was found to be at least 17 times greater than that of other fluoropyrimidine, including doxifluridine, the prodrug of 5-FU, and 5-FU over their respective clinical dose ranges.
