Purpose Inhibition of focal adhesion kinase-vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 complex by C4 was previously shown to reduce tumor growth alone and synergistically with other chemotherapeutic agents in animal tumor models. Single and multiple dose IV and oral dosing studies were performed in dogs to determine C4 pharmacokinetics. Methods C4 was administered to 4 dogs at 1.25 or 2.50 mg/kg IV, or 7.50 mg/kg oral gavage. Single-(IV and oral) and multiple- (IV) dose pharmacokinetic samples were collected on days 1 and 3 at predose and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 24, 120, 144, and 168 hrs post-dose. C4 concentrations were determined using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectral detection with a limit of quantitation of 2.50 pg/mL. Pharmacokinetics of C4 was characterized by a 3-compartment model with linear distributional and elimination clearances using Phoenix 64 WinNonlin 6.3. Results Mean C4 plasma concentration-time profiles revealed a triexponential decline following either IV or oral administration, independent of dose with no accumulation. For the 2.5 mg/kg dose, the median half-life was approximately 21 hrs. Median Cmax and area-under-the-curve (AUC0-24) was similar for Days 1 and 3. Oral bioavailability for formulations of PBS, TPGS, Maalox®, and Pepcid® was greatest with TPGS (45%), followed by Maalox® (42%), Pepcid® (37%), and PBS (30%) Conclusions The pharmacokinetic study revealed C4 has linear pharmacokinetics and does not accumulate following multiple dose administration. Characterization of C4 pharmacokinetics provides a better understanding of the novel targeted agent, which will help facilitate further development of C4.
