Gender differences in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of zolpidem following sublingual administration
Abstract
The effect of dose and gender on the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of zolpidem after administration of a buffered zolpidem sublingual tablet (ZST; Intermezzo®, Purdue Pharma L.P., Stamford, CT, USA) was evaluated in healthy non‐elderly male and female volunteers. Subjects received a single morning dose of ZST (1.0, 1.75, and 3.5 mg) or placebo in a four‐way crossover study. In male and female subjects zolpidem PK were linear, with area under the curve (AUC) proportional to dose, and apparent oral clearance and elimination half‐life independent of dose. However, AUC averaged 40% to 50% higher in females than in males receiving the same dose. The gender effect was incompletely explained by body weight. In females, ZST produced PD changes consistent with benzodiazepine agonist effects, particularly at the 3.5‐mg dose. For several PD variables, PD effects were significantly related to plasma zolpidem concentrations when data were aggregated across subjects. However, there was variability in response among individuals. In males, PD effects of zolpidem seldom differed from placebo regardless of plasma concentration. The findings confirm that zolpidem clearance is lower in females than in males. PD effects of zolpidem from ZST are greater in female subjects, due to a combination of higher plasma concentrations and greater intrinsic sensitivity.

In a placebo-controlled 4-way crossover study, evaluation of the pharmacodynamic effect area under the curve indicated a significant influence of sex, independent of dose, on the DSST such that effects on women were greater than those on men.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
