Full PBPK (Method 2)

  Route of Elimination

CYP2C8 = 72%; Additional HLM = 28%

  Perpetrator DDI

• CYP2D6 

  Validation

• Four clinical studies describing single and multiple dose exposure of amodiaquine were used to verify the PBPK model. In comparison of predicted vs. observed AUC, 75% of the studies were 2-fold and 50% were within 1.5-fold. A clinical DDI study where amodiaquine was the victim of a CYP2C8-mediated DDI was accurately recovered using the PBPK model.

  Limitations

• Clinical data has not been used to verify amodiaquine as a perpetrator of CYP2D6-mediated DDIs

  Updates in V19

• Updated in vitro­ data
  • fu: 0.033 -> 0.089
  • B:P: 1.3 -> 1.1
  • DEAQ Ki for CYP2D6 (µM) – 1.7 -> 1.6
• Converted from minimal PBPK model to full PBPK model
  • Recalculated retrograde clearance for CYP2C8 CL_int and additional HLM CL_int
