Abstract
Tamsulosin, a selective \({\upalpha }_{1}\)-adrenoceptor blocker, is commonly used for alleviation of lower urinary tract symptoms related to benign prostatic hyperplasia. Tamsulosin is predominantly metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 enzymes, and several studies reported the effects of CYP2D6 genetic polymorphism on the pharmacokinetics of tamsulosin. This study aims to develop and validate the physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of tamsulosin in CYP2D6*wt/*wt, CYP2D6*wt/*10, and CYP2D6*10/*10 genotypes, using Simcyp® simulator. Physicochemical, and formulation properties and data for absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion were collected from previous publications, predicted in the simulator, or optimized in different CYP2D6 genotypes. The tamsulosin PBPK model in CYP2D6*wt/*wt and CYP2D6*wt/*10 genotypes were developed based on the clinical pharmacokinetic study where a single oral dose of 0.2 mg tamsulosin was administered to 25 healthy Korean male volunteers with CYP2D6*wt/*wt and CYP2D6*wt/*10 genotypes. A previous pharmacokinetic study was used to develop the model in CYP2D6*10/*10 genotype. The developed model was validated using other clinical pharmacokinetic studies not used in development. The predicted exposures via the PBPK model in CYP2D6*wt/*10 and CYP2D6*10/*10 genotype was 1.23- and 1.76-fold higher than CYP2D6*wt/*wt genotype, respectively. The simulation profiles were visually similar to the observed profiles, and fold errors of all development and validation datasets were included within the criteria. Therefore, the tamsulosin PBPK model in different CYP2D6 genotypes with regards to CYP2D6*10 alleles was appropriately established. Our model can contribute to the implementation of personalized pharmacotherapy of patients, appropriately predicting the pharmacokinetics of tamsulosin reflecting their demographic and CYP2D6 genotype characteristics without unnecessary drug exposure.
