Abstract
The strategic and targeted use of an anesthetized canine cardiovascular model early in drug discovery enables a comprehensive cardiovascular and electrophysiological assessment of potential safety liabilities and guides compound selection prior to initiation of chronic toxicological studies. An ideal model would enable exposure-response relationships to guide safety margin calculations, have a low threshold to initiate, and have quick delivery of decision quality data. We have aimed to profile compounds with diverse mechanism of actions (MoAs) of “non-QT” cardiovascular drug effects and evaluate the ability of nonclinical in vivo cardiovascular models to detect clinically reported effects. The hemodynamic effects of 11 drugs (atropine, itraconazole, atenolol, ivabradine, milrinone, enalaprilat, fasudil, amlodipine, prazosin, amiloride, and hydrochlorothiazide) were profiled in an anesthetized dog cardiovascular model. Derived parameters included: heart rate, an index of left ventricular contractility, mean arterial pressure, systemic vascular resistance, and cardiac output. Species specific plasma protein data was generated (human, dog) and utilized to calculate free drug concentrations. Using the anesthetized dog cardiovascular model, 10 of the 11 drugs displayed the predicted changes in CV parameters based on their primary MoAs and corresponding clinically described effects. Interestingly but not unexpected, 1 of 11 failed to display their predicted CV pattern which is likely due to a delay in pharmacodynamic effect that is beyond the duration of the experimental model (hydrochlorothiazide). The analysis from the current study supports the strategic use of the anesthetized dog model early in the drug discovery process for a comprehensive cardiovascular evaluation with good translation to human.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Pharmacological and Toxicological Methods publishes original articles on current methods of investigation used in pharmacology and toxicology. Pharmacology and toxicology are defined in the broadest sense, referring to actions of drugs and chemicals on all living systems. With its international editorial board and noted contributors, Journal of Pharmacological and Toxicological Methods is the leading journal devoted exclusively to experimental procedures used by pharmacologists and toxicologists.
