Drug compounds have included stable heavy isotopes of carbon, hydrogen, and other elements, mostly as quantitative tracers while the drugs were being developed. Because deuteration may have an effect on a drug's pharmacokinetics and metabolic properties, it is a cause for concern [1].

Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Piperaquine is absorbed slowly, and its plasma concentration curve exhibits multiple peaks, suggesting enterohepatic circulation during absorption. Due to this complexity, there is no definitive value for the bioavailability of piperaquine, but it is absorbed in large quantities into the systemic circulation. When taken with food, the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) increases by 217%, and the mean exposure increases by 177%. The time to peak concentration (Tmax) is unaffected by food and is approximately 5 hours. Observations have shown that piperaquine accumulates 30-50% more in women than in men. It also accumulates in erythrocytes, similar to [DB11638]. Piperaquine is primarily excreted in feces, with very low concentrations in urine. Piperaquine is believed to be distributed in a central compartment with an apparent volume of 26.7 L/kg and two peripheral compartments with apparent volumes of 76.8 L/kg and 617 L/kg, respectively. The total volume of distribution is 720.5 L/kg. The mean apparent total clearance observed in adult malaria patients was 1.12 L/h/kg. Metabolites/Metabolic Products: Piperaquine undergoes N-dealkylation, separating its fatty bridge from one of the nitrogen-containing rings. The resulting aldehyde is then oxidized to a carboxylic acid, forming metabolite 1 (M1). The same nitrogen-containing ring can also be hydroxylated at one of two sites, generating M3 or M4. M2 is formed via N-oxidation of a nitrogen atom in one of the quinoline groups on either side of the molecule. When both nitrogen atoms are oxidized, M5 is generated. M1 and M2 are the major metabolites. All of these metabolites are detected in urine. Biological Half-Life: The observed terminal elimination half-life is 576 hours or 24 days. This is thought to be due to the widespread distribution of piperaquine. |

Protein Binding
Piperaquine is considered to bind almost completely to plasma proteins. Binding rates have been measured to be >99% in humans, rats, and dogs. |

| Additional Infomation |
Piperaquine is an aminoquinoline compound with the chemical name 1,3-bis(piperazin-1-yl)propane, in which the nitrogen atom at the 4-position of each piperazine ring is replaced by a 7-chloroquinoline-4-yl group. It is an antimalarial drug. Piperaquine belongs to the N-arylpiperazine class, organochlorine class, and aminoquinoline class. Piperaquine was first synthesized in the 1960s and widely used in China. In the 1980s, with the emergence of piperaquine-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum and the advent of artemisinin derivatives, its use gradually decreased. Today, piperaquine has been reintroduced into use in combination with the artemisinin derivative [DB11638] in the combination drug Eurotesim. Eurotesim first received marketing authorization from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in October 2011. Indications: For the treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum infection in adults, children, and infants aged 6 months and older weighing more than 5 kg. It must be used in combination with [DB11638].
FDA Label Mechanism of Action The mechanism by which piperaquine inhibits the heme detoxification pathway is not yet clear, but is expected to be similar to [DB00608]. Pharmacodynamics Piperaquine inhibits the heme detoxification pathway of Plasmodium falciparum. |
