Background

Isotretinoin is a retinoid derivative of vitamin A used in the treatment of severe recalcitrant acne.Label It was most widely marketed under the brand name Accutane, which has since been discontinued.10 Isotretinoin is associated with major risks in pregnancy and is therefore only available under the iPLEDGE program in the United States.12 The first isotretinoin-containing product was FDA approved on 7 May 1982.10

Pharmacodynamics

The pharmacodynamics of isotretinoin are poorly understood.Label

Mechanism of action

Isotretinoin produces its effects through altering progress through the cell cycle, cell differentiation, survival, and apoptosis.4 These actions reduce sebum production, preventing the blockage of pores, and growth of acne causing bacteria.4 Isotretinoin and 4-oxo-isotretinoin both significantly reduce the production of sebum.4,Label Isotretinoin has little to no affinity for retinol binding proteins (RBPs) and retinoic acid nuclear receptors (RARs).4 Tretinoin and 4-oxo-tretinion bind to the RAR-γ receptor, which is suspected to be part of the action of acne treatment by isotretinoin.4 Isotretinoin induces apoptosis in sebocytes, leading to a decrease in sebum production.4 Isotretinoin also reduces the formation of comedones by reducing hyperkeratinization through an unknown mechanism.4 Isotretinoin does not directly kill bacteria but it does reduce the size of sebum ducts and makes the microenvironment less hospitable to acne causing bacteria.4 It may also increase immune mechanisms and alter chemotaxis of monocytes to reduce inflammation.4

There is preliminary evidence suggesting isotretinoin may interact with FoxO1, which may explain a substantial number of isotretinoin's unexplained actions.9

Absorption

Patients reach a maximum concentration of 74-511ng/mL after 1-4 hours following a 100mg oral dose.1 Isotretinoin is better absorbed with a high fat meal and bioavailability may change from one brand to another.Label

Following a 40mg oral dose, fasted subjects reached a maximum concentration of 314ng/mL in 2.9 hours with an area under the curve of 4055ng/mL*hr.Label Subjects given a high fat meal and a 40mg oral doses reached a maximum concentration of 395ng/mL in 6.4 hours with an area under the curve of 6095ng/mL*mL.Label

Volume of distribution

The volume of distribution in humans is unknown because there is no intravenous preparation.13 In a study of pediatric patients with neuroblastoma the volume of distribution was found to be 85L.6 The volume of distribution was also found to be 2432mL/kg in guinea pigs and 1716mL/kg in obese rats.5

Protein binding

Isotretinoin is >99.9% protein bound, mainly to serum albumin.Label

Metabolism

Isotretinoin, or 13-cis-retinoic acid can undergo reversible cis-trans isomerization to all-trans-retinoic acid.8 Isotretinoin undergoes 4-hydroxylation to 4-hydroxy-13-cis-retinoic acid, which is oxidized to the main metabolite 4-oxo-13-cis-retinoic acid.8,3. All-trans-retinoic acid undergoes 4-hydroxylation to 4-hydroxy-all-trans-retinoic acid, which is oxidized to 4-oxo-all-trans-retinoic acid.8 4-oxo-13-cis-retinoic acid can undergo reversible cis-trans isomerization to 4-oxo-all-trans-retinoic acid.8

Route of elimination

Isotretinoin and its metabolites are conjugated and excreted in the urine and feces in similar amounts.Label 53-74% of an oral dose is eliminated as unchanged isotretinoin in the feces.1

Half-life

The half life ranges from 7-39 hours13 with a mean elimination half life of 20 hours.1 The half life of 4-oxo-13-cis-retinoic acid ranges from 17-50 hours with a mean elimination half life of 25 hours.13

Clearance

The clearance of isotretinoin is 15.9L/h in pediatric patients with neuroblastoma.6 Clearance is also 21.3mL/min/kg in guinea pigs and 7.2mL/min/kg in obese rats.5

Toxicity

Patients experiencing an overdose may present with vomiting, facial flushing, cheilosis, abdominal pain, headache, dizziness, and ataxia.Label These symptoms may rapidly resolve.Label Generally no treatment is required for these overdoses.7

The oral lowest dose causing toxic effect (TDLO) for children is 30mg/kg/21W, oral TDLO for men is 24mg/kg/4W, oral TDLO for women is 56mg/kg/8W.14 The intraperitoneal LD50 for rats is 901mg/kg, oral LD50 for mice is 3389mg/kg, oral LD50 for rats is >4000mg/kg.14

Isotretinoin is associated with major congenital malformations, spontaneous abortion, and premature birth.Label It is unknown if isotretinoin is expressed in breast milk but due to the associated hazards a decision should be made to either stop nursing or stop taking isotretinoin.Label

In animal studies, isotretinoin was associated with an increased risk of pheochromocytoma and adrenal medullary hyperplasia at doses above the recommended clinical dose.Label Isotretinoin was negative for the Ames test of mutagenicity once and weakly positive a second time.Label It has not been shown to be clastogenic.Label A study in dogs noted testicular atrophy after doses of 10-30 times the recommended clinical dose for 30 weeks.Label In trials with men there were no effects seen on sperm count, motility, morphology, ejaculate volume, and seminal plasma fructose.Label

DrugInteraction
AbacavirIsotretinoin may decrease the excretion rate of Abacavir which could result in a higher serum level.
AbametapirThe serum concentration of Isotretinoin can be increased when it is combined with Abametapir.
AceclofenacAceclofenac may decrease the excretion rate of Isotretinoin which could result in a higher serum level.
AcemetacinAcemetacin may decrease the excretion rate of Isotretinoin which could result in a higher serum level.
AcetaminophenAcetaminophen may decrease the excretion rate of Isotretinoin which could result in a higher serum level.
Food Interactions
  • Avoid alcohol. Alcohol with isotretinoin can lead to inflammation of the liver.
  • Avoid vitamin A supplements.
  • Take with food. High-fat food increases drug absorption.
