Long‐lasting target binding and rebinding as mechanisms to prolong in vivo drug action

Open access
Vauquelin, Georges, Charlton, Steven J·2010·British Journal of Pharmacology

Abstract

An increasing number of examples in the literature suggest that the in vivo duration of drug action not only depends on macroscopic pharmacokinetic properties like plasma half‐life and the time needed to equilibrate between the plasma and the effect compartments, but is also influenced by long‐lasting target binding and rebinding. The present review combines information from different research areas and simulations to explore the nature of these mechanisms and the conditions in which they are most prevalent. Simulations reveal that these latter phenomena become especially influential when there is no longer sufficient free drug around to maintain high levels of receptor occupancy. There is not always a direct link between slow dissociation and long‐lasting in vivo target protection, as the rate of free drug elimination from the effect compartment is also a key influencing factor. Local phenomena that hinder the diffusion of free drug molecules away from their target may allow them to consecutively bind to the same target and/or targets nearby (denoted as ‘rebinding’) even when their concentration in the bulk phase has already dropped to insignificant levels. The micro‐anatomic properties of many effect compartments are likely to intensify this phenomenon. By mimicking the complexity of tissues, intact cells offer the opportunity to investigate both mechanisms under the same, physiologically relevant conditions.

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.
