In Vivo Ocular Pharmacokinetics of Acyclovir Dipeptide Ester Prodrugs by Microdialysis in Rabbits Banmeet S. Anand, Suresh Katragadda, Sriram Gunda, and Ashim K. Mitra* DiVision of Pharmaceutical Sciences, School of Pharmacy, UniVersity of MissourisKansas City, Kansas City, Missouri 64110 Received November 4, 2004 Abstract: In vivo corneal absorption of the dipeptide prodrugs of acyclovir (ACV) was evaluated using microdialysis in rabbits. A corneal well was placed on the cornea of the anesthetized New Zealand White rabbits with implanted linear probes into the aqueous humor. Two hundred microliters of a 1% solution of L-valine-ACV (VACV), glycine-valine-ACV (GVACV), valine-valine- ACV (VVACV), and valine-tyrosine-ACV (VYACV) was placed in the corneal well and was allowed to diffuse for a period of 2 h, following which the drug solution was aspirated and well removed. Samples were collected every 20 min throughout the infusion and postinfusion phases and were analyzed by HPLC to obtain the aqueous humor concentrations. Absorption rate constants of all the compounds were found to be lower than the elimination rate constants. GVACV exhibited highest absorption rate (ka) compared with other prodrugs, but all the prodrugs showed similar terminal elimination rate (ìz). The time of maximum absorption (Tmax) of ACV after administration of VACV and the dipeptide prodrugs did not vary significantly (p < 0.05). GVACV exhibited the highest concentration (Cmax) and area under curve (AUC) upon absorption (p < 0.05) compared to VACV, VVACV, and VYACV. Dipeptide prodrugs of ACV were absorbed through the cornea at similar rates but to varying extents. The dipeptide prodrug GVACV owing to its enhanced absorption of ACV seems to be a promising candidate for the treatment of ocular HSV infections. Keywords: Acyclovir; dipeptide prodrugs; ocular absorption; microdialysis Introduction Herpes simplex keratitis is the leading cause of blindness in the United States as well as the most frequent cause of corneal opacities in developed countries.1 Nucleoside ana- logues developed initially for the treatment of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections (HSV keratitis) include trifluridine (TFT), idoxuridine (IDU), and cytosine arabinoside (Ara- A), all of which were found to be too toxic for systemic use and were, therefore, restricted to topical use for herpetic keratitis.2 Acyclovir (ACV), also a nucleoside analogue, has been shown to be clinically effective against herpes viruses, but due to poor aqueous solubility and low corneal perme- ability, the drug is not very effective against ocular herpes infections.3 Ocular availability of drugs is restricted due to pharma- cological, pharmacokinetic, or pharmaceutical barriers. Chemi- cal approach to designing bioreversible prodrugs can be useful in the optimization of drug absorption properties.4 Prodrugs are designed to overcome the undesirable properties of drugs but are themselves biologically inactive.

In that direction transporter-targeted prodrug derivatization strategy seems to be one of the most exciting of all the current drug delivery strategies.5 Recently peptide transporters attracted a lot of attention as drug delivery targets. Due to their broad substrate specificity, peptide transporters contribute to the intestinal absorption of several drug compounds.6-12 In the past, peptide transporters have been utilized successfully to improve the bioavailability of the nucleoside analogues acyclovir13 and zidovudine (AZT) by designing 5′-amino acid ester prodrugs.9,14 Previously in our lab PepT1 was identified on the corneal epithelium for the first time and successfully targeted using valacyclovir.15 In an earlier report the ACV dipeptide prodrugs were shown to be substrates for peptide transporter (PEPT1) on the rabbit cornea.16 Also the prodrugs exhibited excellent solution stability relative to valacyclovir (VACV), a drug of choice for oral and genital herpes.16 The dipeptide prodrugs also showed significantly lower cytotoxicty on the Statens Seruminstitut rabbit corneal cell line and rabbit primary corneal epithelial cells in comparison with TFT and ACV itself and exhibited excellent in vitro antiviral efficacy against HSV-1 in comparison with ACV. Finally the pro- drugs were highly soluble and permeable across the cornea in comparison with ACV.17 The dipeptide ACV prodrugs can be formulated into 1-3% eye drops and seem, therefore, to be promising drug candidates for the treatment of HSV keratitis with stromal involvement. In this study we have utilized the dipeptide prodrugs to target the PepT1 transporter on the corneal epithelium for enhanced absorption of ACV. Topical administration is the preferred mode to treat diseases that affect the anterior chamber of the eye. Unfor- tunately, the disposition of drugs administered in this manner is not well understood. Several pharmacokinetic models of varying complexity have been proposed to predict absorption and disposition of drugs applied topically to the eye.18-20 Pharmacokinetics of topically applied pilocarpine in the albino rabbit eye has been described using a four-compart- ment classical model represented by a four exponential equation yielding eight equation parameters.19 Another pharmacokinetic model has been applied to pilocarpine pharmacokinetics that uses a physiologically based model.18,20 However, both modeling approaches are complex with regard to numerical analyses. Two basic problems in determining anterior chamber kinetics are as follows. (i) Determination of ka is difficult due to the presence of precorneal kinetic events. (ii) Absorption across the cornea is often a slower process than elimination from the eye, and an erroneous assignment of slopes is possible. To simplify the approach and correctly estimate ocular absorption rate constant, a “topical infusion” (4) Stella, V. J.; Charman, W. N.; Naringrekar, V. H. Prodrugs.

During constant input of the drug through the cornea, absorption, distribution, and elimination can be determined independent of the number of peripheral com- partments that are operative. Constant concentration was maintained through the use of a plastic cylindrical well containing the drug solution. A major constraint in the determination of ocular phar- macokinetics of drugs is the inaccessibility of ocular fluids such as aqueous humor and vitreous humor for continuous serial sampling. Furthermore, adding to the problem in assessing ocular pharmacokinetics is the fact that a single rabbit must be used for a single time point. Complete pharmacokinetic profiles are usually constructed by sacrific- ing 6-20 rabbits at each time point. Microdialysis has been proven to be beneficial over conventional sampling tech- niques in determining ocular pharmacokinetics by both reducing the number of subjects and providing statistically robust data. It has been applied in aqueous and vitreous drug disposition and delivery studies.3,22-25 In this study we have employed the use of microdialysis for sampling the aqueous humor. We conceptualized the use of a combination of the topical well infusion model and aqueous humor microdialysis sampling for precise prediction of ocular absorption. In this report, we have examined the in vivo corneal absorption of the dipeptide prodrugs through a topical infusion model along with aqueous humor microdialysis in New Zealand White rabbits. The aqueous humor kinetics of the dipeptide prodrugs GVACV, VVACV, and VYACV was compared with that of VACV, which is transported across cornea owing to its recognition by the oligopeptide trans- porter on the corneal epithelium.15 Materials and Methods Materials. VACV was a gift from GlaxoSmithKline Inc., Research Triangle Park, NC. All other chemicals were obtained from Sigma Chemical Company (St. Louis, MO). The solvents were of analytical grade and obtained from Fisher Scientific (St. Louis, MO). The dipeptide prodrugs, namely, Val-Val-ACV (VVACV), Gly-Val-ACV (GVACV), and Val-Tyr-ACV (VYACV) (Figure 1), were synthesized in our laboratory.16 Linear microdialysis probes (MD-2000, 0.32 � 10 mm, polyacrylonitrile membrane and 0.22 mm tubing) employed for aqueous humor sampling were pur- chased from Bioanalytical Systems (West Lafayette, IN). A microinjection pump (CMA/100) for perfusing the isotonic buffer saline was procured from CMA/Microdialysis (Acton, MA). Ketamine HCl was supplied by Fort Dodge animal health and xylazine by Bayer animal health. Nembutal sodium was purchased from Abbott Laboratories (Abbott Park, Chicago, IL). Topical wells (Figure 2A) were custom made by Hansen Ophthalmic Development Corporation (Iowa City, IA) according to special instructions. Animals. New Zealand White male rabbits weighing between 5 and 5.5 lb were obtained from Myrtle’s Rabbitry (Thompson Station, TN). Animal care and treatment in this investigation was in compliance with the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) Statement for the Use of Animals in Ophthalmic and Vision Research. In Vivo Absorption Experiments. (1) Probe Implanta- tion. Aqueous humor sampling to assess the ocular absorp- tion of the dipeptide prodrugs was carried out using microdialysis. The animals were anesthetized prior to the surgery by administration of ketamine (50 mg/kg) and xylazine (5 mg/kg) intramuscularly. Pupils were dilated by topical instillation of 1% tropicamide prior to the probe implantation. The linear microdialysis probe was placed in the anterior chamber using a 25G needle. It was inserted across the cornea preventing any damage to the iris-ciliary body, and the outlet of the linear probe was placed into the needle at the bevel edge. Then the needle was slowly withdrawn such that the probe remained fixed in the anterior chamber (Figure 2B). The microdialysis probe was perfused with isotonic phosphate buffer saline at a flow rate of 2 íL/ min by a microinjection pump. The animals were kept under anesthesia throughout an experiment with ketamine HCl and xylazine given intramuscularly every 40 min. After probe implantation, the animals were allowed to stabilize for 2 h before the initiation of any study. This duration has been shown to be sufficient for the restoration of intraocular pressure and replenishment of the aqueous humor originally lost during probe implantation.26 (2) Microdialysis. Subsequent to probe implantation and recovery of the animal, the eyelids of the rabbits were mechanically retracted with Colibri retractors, and the precorneal well (Hansen Ophthalmic Development Corpora- tion, Iowa City, IA), designed to fit over the sclera of the rabbit eye, was mounted. Care was taken to avoid contact with the entry and exit ports of the aqueous humor microdi- alysis probe (Figure 2B). The base of the device fitted over the eye with the central portion forming a well, thereby (21) Eller, M. G.; Schoenwald, R. D.; Dixson, J. A.; Segarra, T.; Barfknecht, C. F.

The outer edge of the precorneal well was coated with silicone grease to prevent its movement. The rabbit was placed on its left side, and the base of the well was positioned on the sclera of the right eye such that the empty well was above the cornea. Subsequent to placement of the well, the animals were allowed to stabilize for another 45 min to maintain proper intraocular pressure. After this time period, 200 íL of isotonic phosphate-buffered saline containing drug/prodrug was added to the well at time zero and samples were collected at predetermined time points by microdialysis. The compounds were allowed to diffuse for a period of 120 min, after which the drug solution was aspirated from the well, which was subsequently removed. The corneal surface was washed clean with a few drops of distilled water. Samples were collected every 20 min throughout the infusion and postinfusion phases over a period of 8 h. At the end of an experiment, euthanasia was performed under deep anesthesia with an intravenous injec- tion of sodium pentobarbital through the marginal ear vein. Samples obtained in the study were analyzed by HPLC. In Vitro Probe Calibration. In vitro probe calibration was performed by placing the probe in isotonic phosphate buffer saline (IPBS) solution, pH 7.4, of the appropriate prodrug/drug of known concentration. The probe was per- fused at a flow rate of 2 íL/min with IPBS, and the dialysate was collected every 20 min. Relative recovery of the respective prodrug was calculated by eq 1.
