Seratrodast (development name, AA-2414; marketed originally as Bronica)[2] is a thromboxane A2 (TXA2) receptor (TP receptor) antagonist used primarily in the treatment of asthma.[3][4] It was the first TP receptor antagonist that was developed as an anti-asthmatic drug and received marketing approval in Japan in 1997.[5] As of 2017 seratrodast was marketed as Bronica in Japan, and as Changnuo, Mai Xu Jia, Quan Kang Nuo in China.[1]
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of seratrodast in pregnant women. The drug should be used in pregnancy only if the potential benefits justify the risk to the fetus.[9] Seratrodast should not be used during lactation.[9]
The safety and efficacy of seratrodast has not been established in children (<18 years of age).[9]
Contraindications and interactions
Seratrodast should not be used in people with liver disease.[9]
Use with paracetamol or with cephem antibiotics increases the risk of liver damage. Use with aspirin increases the bioavailability of seratrodast.[9]
Adverse effects
The most frequently observed (0.1 to 5%) adverse reactions include elevated transaminases, nausea, loss of appetite, stomach discomfort, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, dry mouth, taste disturbance, drowsiness, headache, dizziness, palpitations and malaise.[9] Less than 0.1% of patients experienced vomiting, thrombocytopenia, epistaxis, bleeding tendency, insomnia, tremor, numbness, hot flushes and edema.[9] All the adverse reactions reported were of mild to moderate severity, and resolved when the drug was discontinued.[9]
The pharmacokinetics of seratrodast have been studied in Japanese and Caucasian, including Indian, healthy volunteers.[11][12][13][14] The plasma concentrations of seratrodast increase with increasing doses. The absorption of seratrodast is relatively rapid with maximum plasma concentrations of 4.6–6 μg/ml obtained in 3 to 4 hours.[11] Steady state plasma concentrations of seratrodast are reached within 4–5 days.[13] Seratrodast is slowly cleared, mainly by hepatic biotransformation. The drug shows biexponential decay in plasma profiles with a mean elimination half-life of 22 hours.[11][13] Approximately 20% of the administered dose is recovered in the urine, with 60% of the urinary recovery being in the form of conjugates [12]
Chemistry
Seratrodast can be prepared in five steps starting from pimelic acid monoester.[15]
History
Seratrodast was the first thromboxane receptor antagonist to reach the market as a treatment for asthma; it was approved in Japan in 1997.[8]
Society and culture
As of 2017 seratrodast was marketed as Bronica in Japan, Changnuo, Mai Xu Jia, Quan Kang Nuo in China and as Seretra & Seradair in India.[1]
