Improved Pharmacokinetics of AMG 517 Through Co-Crystallization Part 1: Comparison of Two Acids With Corresponding Amide Co-crystals

The dissolution and pharmacokinetics (PK) of two carboxylic acid co-crystals (cinnamic acid and benzoic acid) with the corresponding amide co-crystals (cinnamamide and benzamide) of AMG 517 were investigated. Powder and intrinsic dissolution studies were performed in fasted simulated intestinal flui...

Description
Summary:The dissolution and pharmacokinetics (PK) of two carboxylic acid co-crystals (cinnamic acid and benzoic acid) with the corresponding amide co-crystals (cinnamamide and benzamide) of AMG 517 were investigated. Powder and intrinsic dissolution studies were performed in fasted simulated intestinal fluid (FaSIF). Suspension formulations in 1% polyvinylpyrrolidone K25 in water were administered orally at 100mg/kg to rats. The four cocrystals were found to have faster intrinsic and powder dissolution rates in FaSIF than the free base. This correlated with a 2.4- to 7.1-fold increase in the area under the concentration-time curve in rat PK investigations. When contrasting the acid to its corresponding amide co-crystal, cinnamamide shows improvement over cinnamic acid, while benzamide and benzoic acid perform similarly. © 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc. and the American Pharmacists Association J Pharm Sci 99:3769–3778, 2010
