    Notes: Abstract Bone-resorbing activities of 24-epi-1α-hydroxyvitamin D2 [24-epi-1α(OH)D2], 24-epi-1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2 [24-epi-1,25(OH)2D2], and 1α,24S,25-trihydroxyvitamin D2 [1,24S,25(OH)3D2], which might be a metabolite of 24-epi-1,25(OH)2D2, were investigated. In an in vitro bone resorption test, the activity of 24-epi-1α(OH)D2 was similar to that of 1α-hydroxyvitamin D3 [1α(OH)D3] at 10-9 M-10-6 M. The activity of 24-epi-1,25(OH)2D2 was weaker than that of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] at 10-11 M-10-8 M. On the other hand, the activity of 1,24S,25(OH)3D2 was similar to that of 24-epi-1,25(OH)2D2 at 10-11 M-10-9 M. In the formation assay of osteoclast-like cells, the activity of 24-epi-1α(OH)D2 was weaker than that of 1α(OH)D3 at 10-7 M. The activity of 24-epi-1,25(OH)2D2 was almost similar to that of 1,25(OH)2D3 at 10-11 M-10-7 M. The activity of 1,24S,25(OH)3D2 was significantly weaker than that of 24-epi-1,25(OH)2D2 at 10-11 M-10-9 M. In the two experiments, the potencies of 24-epi-1,25(OH)2D2 were about 100 times higher than those of 24-epi-1α(OH)D2. In an in vivo/in vitro bone resorption test, the activity of 24-epi-1α(OH)D2 was almost similar to those of 1α(OH)D3 and 1,25(OH)2D3 and higher than those of 24-epi-1,25(OH)2D2 and 1,24S,25(OH)3D2. 24-epi-1α-(OH)D2 and 1α(OH)D3 were longer lasting than 24-epi-1,25(OH)2D2 and 1,25(OH)2D3 in this experiment. These results suggested that 24-epi-1α(OH)D2 as well as 1α(OH)D3 was converted into dihydroxy form in vivo.

    Notes: Abstract Objectives: The study was conducted to investigate whether oral co-administration with citrus juices significantly affects the pharmacokinetics and/or pharmacodynamics of pranidipine, a new 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium antagonist, in healthy male subjects. Grapefruit juice and orange juice, which were both commercially available, were used in this study. Methods: Sixteen healthy male Japanese subjects participated in this study and were divided into two groups for grapefruit juice and orange juice treatment. The study followed an open-labelled crossover design, comparing the effects of a single oral dose of 2 mg pranidipine taken together with 250 ml citrus juice or 250 ml water. Serum pharmacokinetics of pranidipine, adverse reactions, blood pressure, heart rate, 12-lead ECG, haematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis were measured throughout the study. Results: For grapefruit juice, mean Cmax and AUC0–24 h were significantly higher than those of water (P = 0.0003 and 0.0005, respectively, ANOVA) with the ratios of log transformed values being 1.50 and 1.74, respectively. There were no differences in tmax and t½ between the juice and water treatments. A significant increase in heart rate (P = 0.0240, ANOVA with repeated measurements) was observed in the juice treatment whereas there were no significant differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressure between the two treatments. For orange juice, a small decrease in mean Cmax was observed compared with water (P = 0.0218, ANOVA) with the ratio being 0.86, but there was no significant difference in AUC0–24 h between the two treatments. No marked differences were observed in tmax and t½. Oral pranidipine administration with orange juice did not affect heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressures or other parameters for safety evaluation. Conclusions: Oral co-administration with grapefruit juice and pranidipine was associated with increased bioavailability and changed the pharmacodynamics of pranidipine, particularly with regard to heart rate. Orange juice intake with pranidipine did not markedly affect the pharmacokinetics and no clinically significant changes were observed in the pharmacodynamics and safety evaluation.
