Effect of nebicapone on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of warfarin in healthy subjects.

Nebicapone is a new catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitor. In vitro, nebicapone has showed an inhibitory effect upon CYP2C9, which is responsible for the metabolism of S-warfarin. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of nebicapone on warfarin pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynami...

      ab: Nebicapone is a new catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitor. In vitro, nebicapone has showed an inhibitory effect upon CYP2C9, which is responsible for the metabolism of S-warfarin. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of nebicapone on warfarin pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in healthy subjects. Single-centre, open-label, randomised, two-period crossover study in 16 healthy volunteers. In one period, subjects received nebicapone 200 mg thrice daily for 9 days and a racemic warfarin 25-mg single dose concomitantly with the nebicapone morning dose on day 4 (test). In the other period, subjects received a racemic warfarin 25-mg single dose alone (reference). The treatment periods were separated by a washout of 14 days. For R-warfarin, mean +/- SD C[max] was 1,619 +/- 284 ng/mL for test and 1,649 +/- 357 ng/mL for reference, while AUC[0-t] was 92,796 +/- 18,976 ng·h/mL (test) and 73,597 +/- 11,363 ng·h/mL (reference). The R-warfarin test-to-reference geometric mean ratio (GMR) and 90% confidence interval (90%CI) were 0.973 (0.878-1.077) for C[max] and 1.247 (1.170-1.327) for AUC[0-t]. For S-warfarin, mean +/- SD C[max] was 1,644 +/- 331 ng/mL for test and 1,739 +/- 392 ng/mL for reference, while AUC[0-t] was 66,627 +/- 41,199 ng·h/mL (test) and 70,178 +/- 42,560 ng·h/mL (reference). The S-warfarin test-to-reference GMR and 90%CI were 0.932 (0.845-1.028) for C[max] and 0.914 (0.875-0.954) for AUC[0-t]. No differences were found for the pharmacodynamic parameter (INR). Nebicapone showed no significant effect on S-warfarin pharmacokinetics or on the coagulation endpoint (INR). A mild inhibition of the R-warfarin metabolism was found but is unlikely to be of clinical relevance.
