Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created using several sources including: http://www.lexpharma.com/media-center/news/525-fda-extends-pdufa-date-for-telotristat-etiprate-for-the-treatment-of-carcinoid-syndrome; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25012985

Telotristat (telotristat etiprate) is an ethyl ester prodrug which is hydrolyzed to its active moiety LP-778902 both in vivo and in vitro. Telotristat etiprate is an orally bioavailable, small-molecule, tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) inhibitor. It is the first investigational drug in clinical studies to target TPH, an enzyme that triggers the excess serotonin production within metastatic neuroendocrine tumor (mNET) cells leading to carcinoid syndrome. Unlike existing treatments of carcinoid syndrome which reduce the release of serotonin outside tumor cells, telotristat etiprate reduces serotonin production within the tumor cells. By specifically inhibiting serotonin production telotristat may provide patients with more control over their disease. Telotristat etiprate has received Fast Track and Orphan Drug designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and has been granted priority review by the FDA with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of February 28, 2017.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: The molecule was designed not to cross the blood-brain barrier at the intended dose, and preclinical studies suggested that telotristat etiprate acts primarily peripherally, with little, if any, activity observed in the central nervous system.

Comment: 79% inihibition at 1 mcM, 30 min incubation (cytochrome P450isozymes using specific fluorometric substrates or human liver microsomal samples w/LC-MS/MS analysis), When 3 mg midazolam was coadministered orally after 5 day treatment with telotristat ethyl 500 mg three times daily (twice the recommended dosage), the mean Cmax , and AUC0-inf for midazolam were decreased by 25%, and 48%, respectively, compared to administration of midazolam alone. The mean Cmax , and AUC0-inf for the active metabolite, 1’-hydroxymidazolam, were also decreased by 34%, and 48%, respectively.

Comment: Following co-administration with telotristat ethyl (500 mg TID x 5 days (twice the recommended dose)), mean Cmax, and AUC0-inf for fexofenadine (180 mg with the final dose of telotristat ethyl) were 15.6%, and 14.3% higher, respectively compared to administration alone. Telotristat ethyl exhibited a lower level of P-gp inhibition in humans (<1.25-fold) that not clinically meaningful.
