Background
Morbidity and mortality of patients with CKD increase with the progression of vascular calcifications. In the context of the development of drugs capable of reducing pathological crystallization, myo-inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) has been shown to be a promising candidate but needs to be administered via intravenous infusion. This study demonstrates the in vivo inhibitory effect of an IP6 analog (INS-3001), and characterizes its pharmacokinetic profile in uremic and non-uremic rats.
Methods
Efficacy of INS-3001 versus IP6 to prevent severe vascular calcification was studied in non-uremic rats (vitamin D3 model, n = 5 – 11/group), while the PK of INS-3001 was determined after after single i.v. or s.c dosing of 10mg/kg in uremic rats (adenine diet model) and non-uremic controls (n = 6/group). Vascular calcifications were visualized by von Kossa staining and calcium tissue content measured by ICP-MS. INS-3001 concentrations in EDTA plasma were measured using a HILIC-MS/MS bioanalytical method.
Results
INS-3001 significantly blunted carotid calcification reducing the amount of calcium in tissues by a factor of two compared to controls (p=0.017) while a numerical decrease was observed at the level of abdominal aorta (p>0.05). Treatment with IP6 could not be completed due to the appearance of necrotic lesions at the injection site.
INS-3001 displayed high s.c. bioavailability. In the s.c. group, uremic rats displayed higher AUC, mean residence time and Tmax than non-uremic controls (1327.1 vs 802.3 µg/mL*min; 124 vs 66 min; 23 vs 50 min, respectively) whereas Cmax remained unchanged (8348 vs 8325 ng/mL). Similar trends were observed following i.v. administration.
Conclusion
IINS-3001 is a potent inhibitor of vascular calcification after Vitamin D overdose in rats, in addition INS-3001 has a beneficial effect on the renal function of animals in this model.
The uremic state appeared to significantly influence the rat plasma PKs of INS-3001 after s.c. and i.v. administration. The data suggests that uremia extends plasma exposure of INS-3001 without increasing peak plasma levels and that therapeutic levels can be attained following s.c. administration in the context of uremia.
