Pharmacokinetic analysis of 6-monoamino-beta-cyclodextrin after intravenous or oral administration to rats using a specific enzyme immunoassay.
We have developed a highly sensitive enzyme immunoassay for 6-monoamino-beta-CD (mono(6-amino-6-deoxy)cyclomaltoheptaose) and its parent compound (beta-CD) with a detection limit in the 100 pg/mL range. The polyclonal antibodies obtained are highly specific for the beta-cyclodextrin core and do not recognize other cyclic cyclodextrins (i.e., alpha- and gamma-CD) or linear analogues. This enzyme immunoassay can be used to quantify 6-monoamino-beta-CD in rat urine and plasma. Using this immunoassay, we have evaluated the main pharmacokinetic parameters of 6-monoamino-beta-CD after iv administration to the rat of a 25 mg/kg dose. Since this method is strictly specific to the native beta-CD form, we have demonstrated that the molecule rapidly disappeared from plasma but is probably distributed in the tissues. The urinary route appears as the predominant way of elimination since almost all the administered drug is recovered in urine. Finally, analysis of the same molecule after oral administration to the rat (25 mg/kg) demonstrates low plasma levels and that about 1% of the administered dose is excreted in urine. These experiments demonstrate the high stability of the beta-CD core irrespective of the method of administration. This immunological method could provide relevant information on the fate of beta-CD and some derivatives for drug delivery using different modes of administration (oral, parenteral, transmucosal, or dermal).
