Popis: Vincristine is a cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agent used as first-line therapy for pediatric acute lymphocytic leukemia. It is cleared by hepatic oxidative metabolism by CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 and via hepatic (biliary) efflux mediated by P-glycoprotein (P-gp) transporter. Bottom-up physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models were developed to predict vincristine disposition in pediatric and adult populations. The models incorporated physicochemical properties, metabolism by CYP3A4/5, efflux by P-gp, and intracellular binding to β-tubulin. The adult and pediatric PBPK models predicted pharmacokinetics (PK) within twofold of the observed PK parameters (area under the curve, terminal half-life, volume of distribution, and clearance). Simulating a higher hypothetical (4.9-fold) pediatric expression of β-tubulin relative to adult improved predictions of vincristine PKs. To our knowledge, this is the first time that intracellular binding has been incorporated into a pediatric PBPK model. Utilizing this PBPK modeling approach, safe and effective doses of vincristine could be predicted.
