Background And Objective: Tylerdipine hydrochloride (KBP-5660) is a novel L/T-type dual calcium channel blocker developed for the treatment of hypertension. We aimed to study the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of tylerdipine in healthy Chinese subjects.

Methods: Two double-blind, randomized, dose-escalation studies were conducted that included a total of 88 healthy subjects: (1) a single-ascending dose (SAD) study; and (2) a multiple-ascending dose (MAD) study. In the SAD study, 64 subjects were randomly assigned to receive a single dose of 0.5, 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 mg of tylerdipine or placebo. In the MAD study, 24 subjects were randomly assigned to receive 10 or 20 mg of tylerdipine or placebo once daily for 9 days. Blood samples were collected at the designated time points for pharmacokinetic analyses. Safety assessments were conducted throughout the study.

Results: Following a single oral dose of tylerdipine of 5-30 mg, the mean maximum plasma concentration (C) increased from 0.9993 to 10.11 ng/ml; mean area under the plasma-concentration curve (AUC) from time zero to 72 h increased from 4.332 to 73.95 h·ng/ml. AUC increased in a greater than dose-proportional manner, whereas C exhibited a rough but non-typical dose-proportionality increase. In the MAD study, steady-state conditions were achieved after 1 week of daily dosing in both dose groups. Accumulation of tylerdipine was low, with accumulation ratios (R) of less than 1.65. All adverse events were assessed as mild or moderate.

Conclusion: Tylerdipine hydrochloride was safe and well tolerated. The exposure (AUC) of tylerdipine over the dose range of 5-30 mg increased in a greater than dose-proportional manner, while C exhibited a rough but non-typical dose proportionality increase. A slight accumulation of tylerdipine was observed following multiple dosing.

Tylerdipine hydrochloride is a novel L-type and T-type dual calcium channel antagonist that has the potential effects of expanding blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. It is expected to reduce the side effect of ankle edema observed with other drugs in the same class. A randomized, open-label, crossover phase 1 study was performed to evaluate the effect of food on the bioavailability of tylerdipine.

Development and validation of two LC-MS/MS methods to assay urinary tylerdipine hydrochloride and its metabolites in healthy Chinese subjects.

Key Laboratory of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics, China Pharmaceutical University, 24 Tong Jia Xiang, Nanjing 210009, China. Electronic address:

For quantitative assaying tylerdipine hydrochloride, and its two primary metabolites (M2 and M4) in human urine, two sensitive and accurate LC-MS/MS methods were firstly developed and validated, where multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) was applied under positive electrospray ionization mode for tylerdipine and negative electrospray ionization mode for M2/M4, respectively. Urinary proteins were precipitated using acetonitrile, and deuterated isotopes of tylerdipine and M4 ([D5]‑tylerdipine and [D6]-M4) were used as internal standards. Triton X-100, a good surfactant, was used to prevent the adsorption.

The aim of this analysis was to explore the influence of CYP3A4*1G and CYP3A5*3 polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetics of tylerdipine in healthy Chinese subjects. A total of 64 and 63 healthy Chinese subjects were included and identified as the genotypes of CYP3A4*1G and CYP3A5*3, respectively. Plasma samples were collected for up to 120 h post-dose to characterize the pharmacokinetic profile following single oral dose of the drug (5, 15, 20, 25 and 30 mg).
