Q

four main applications of antibodies

A
  1. immunotoxicotherapy: complete neutralization of toxin/xenobiotic
    ex: digibind
  2. elimination of cells:opsonize cells for destruction
    ex: anti-CD4 IgG, rituximab (cancer),
  3. alter of cell function/ cell signaling
    ex: abciximab (anti-CD41-prevents PLT aggregation
  4. drug delivery: increasing the efficienc y of drug delivery to desired sites
    ex: gemtuzumab ozogamicin: deliver toxin to tumor cells

Q

elimination mechanisms for peptides and proteins

fluid phase endocytosis

A

considered to be non specific

proteins broken down to amino acids

degredation producsts are not likely to be toxic (basiclaly dot have toxic metabolites to worry about like in small molecules)

Q

elimination mechanisms for peptides and proteins

renal filtration/ phagocytosis and proteolysis

A

size specific mechanism

phagocytosis may be a primary mechanism for >400kDa

renal filtration and subsequent prteolysis when MW<50 kda

*some of the proteins are renally filtered, but a lot of the proteins are filtered back up into cells and then metabolized. can see this by saturation the reuptake pathways. more prevelant in smaller proteins

Q

elimination mechanisms for peptides and proteins

receptor mediated endocytosis and catabolism

A

interaction with component of protien and receptors tat recognize it
ex: high tpa cl due to recognition of mannose by mannose recpetors

ex: ** FcRn. protects IgG from elimnation, and reson why igG has low levels of elimination

Q

note on FcRn

A

only IgG, not any other antibodies
the brambell recptor

transient saturable gi absoprtion in nepnates

saturable

PH DEPENDENT BINDING: at ph of 6, binds, at ph of 7.4, released

verly long t 1/2

concentraiton -dependent elmination:
so basically saturation causes increased elmin. of IgG because it protects igG form elmination, so high conc concsaturated mechanisms will increase its elmin

Q

elimination mechanisms for peptides and proteins

target mediated disposition

a. dose dependency
b. treatment dependency

A

DOSE DPEENDENCY
binding of drug to its pharmaco;pgoc target influencing PK

nonlinear pk: Vss decreases with increasing dose
CL: decreases with increasing dose
CL decreases with dose when recpetor binding leads to drug elmination (basically when cl mediated w. interaciton w. receptor, cl will decrease w. increase in dose)

basically as dose is increased, cl mechanisms of binding to receptor become saturdated, and CL decreases

TREATMENT DEPENDENCY

ab is destroying cells that have the target, and target is mediated elmination of ab. so at first dose, we have a lot more cells that hasve the target, but subsequent doses dont have as many targets, therefor decreased cL

Q

elimination mechanisms for peptides and proteins

anti drug antibodies

A

protein drugs often lead to production of anti drug antibodies

for mAb: risk for ADA appears to be greatest for rodent>chimeric> humanized> fully humen

SQ>IM>IV

when ADA is present, rapid cl of drug occurs

Q

so basically 2 main non liner elimination mechanisms we tlaked about

A

targeted mediated disposition:
with increase indose, decrease in CL

FcRn saturation: increase in dose, increase in clearance

however, mAb are dosed so loww that these nonlinearities probably wont occur. but… still the most important type of nonlinearity for an mAb woul dbe used by satuation from TMD

Q

distribution of AB

A

diffusion across plasma mebranes largely driven by convection. PRIMARY mechanism of distribution
fluid movement from blood space into intrastitial space

assumptions for small molecules drug in regards to elimination and distribution are invalid for protein drugs

Q

does variability i fc gamma explain terindividual variability in mAb PK?

fc gamma receptors

A

present on macrophages. opsonizes b cells when interacted with, cause phagocytosis
ex: rituximab:

variation in receptors:
pts with 158V demonstrate superior responses

pt withs phenylalanine, have lower affinity binding for drugs like rituximab, have lower survival

definately affects PD: not so much PK

Q

does DDI contribute to the interindividual variability in mAb PK

a. FcRn
b: ADA
c: convection

A

FcRn: saturation of FcRn accounts for 50% of therepeutic benefit of IVIG

Ada: methotrexate decreases development of anti drug antibodies of infliximab

convection: ab Bevacizumab: ANTI VEGF mAb:prevents neovascurization, decreasing growth of tumor. prevent.
however vessels are less, leaky so further admin of other drugs to treat cancer may not get to tumor and wont work as effectively. this is a DDI with anti VEGf mAb and other mAb?

Q

does disease contribute to the interindividual variability in mAb PK

A

nephropathy: greater elimination of protein in the urine, including therepeutic proteins

Urinary albumin excretion (UAE): as uae increases, AB elimination increased in urine

other diseases that affect this. SLE, RA, PLE

sources of pd variability

A

gened for receptor, genes affecting drug response, age, concurrent drugs and diseases, environmental factors,
