Background

Glycopyrronium, also known as NVA237 or glycopyrrolate, is a racemic mixture of two enantiomers.15 They are both quaternary ammonium compounds and long acting muscarinic antagonists.15 It is one of the most commonly prescribed anticholinergic medications.2,3 Early research into glycopyrronium use was for its indication as an adjunct therapy in the treatment of peptic ulcers.9,10 Later research, taking advantage of the systemic distribution of muscarinic receptors through the body, found that glycopyrronium could also be used for reducing sweat gland,12 oral,18 airway, and gastric secretions;17 as well as reducing cardiac inhibitory reflexes;17 and reducing bronchoconstriction in COPD.13 Glycopyrronium is commonly prescribed as a first line treatment for a wide variety indications and is considered to have a wider therapeutic window than tiotropium.8

Glycopyrronium was originally granted FDA approval on 11 August 1961.10

Pharmacology

Indication

Glycopyrronium formulated as a topical cloth is indicated to treat primary axillary hyperhidrosis in patients ≥9 years,12 and an inhalational solution is indicated for long term maintenance of airflow obstruction in COPD.13 A glycopyrronium intravenous and intramuscular injection is indicated in adults and pediatric patients to reduce the volume and acidity of gastric secretions, reduce airway secretions, and block cardiac inhibitory reflexes during the induction of anesthesia and intubation; to treat surgically-induced, drug-induced, or vagal reflex associated arrhythmias intraoperatively; and to prevent peripheral muscarinic effects of cholinergic drugs.17 The same injection is indicated in adults as an adjunct therapy in the treatment of peptic ulcers, as is an orally disintegrating tablet formulation.17,21 An oral solution is indicated to treat excessive drooling associated with neurologic conditions in patients aged 3-16 years.18 Glycopyrronium and budesonide19 can be formulated with formoterol fumarate for the maintenance of COPD.20

Pharmacodynamics

Glycopyrronium is a quaternary ammonium compound that is one of the most commonly prescribed long acting muscarinic antagonists.2,3,15 Glycopyrronium slowly dissociated from muscarinic receptors, leading to a long duration of action.1 It has a wider therapeutic index than other anticholinergic medications, such as tiotropium.8 Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of worsening urinary retention, risk of overheating, and transient blurred vision.12

Mechanism of action

Glycopyrronium is a muscarinic antagonist with the highest affinity for M1 receptors, followed by M3, M2/M4, and M5.16

Muscarinic receptors M1 to M4 are found in the lung, although M3 is predominantly responsible for bronchoconstriction and airway secretions.1,19,16 Secretions from salivary4 and sweat5 glands, as well as gastric acid secretions,6 are also predominantly mediated by the M3 receptor. Salivary4 and gastric acid6 secretions are also partially mediated by the M1 receptor. Antagonism of these receptors decreases the volume of their respective secretions, and in the case of the gastrointestinal system, reduces the acidity of the stomach.7

In the cardiovascular system, muscarinic receptors M1 to M5 are all present, however the function of M5 has not been described in literature.7 Under normal circumstances, stimulation of the vagal nerve lowers the heart rate, potentially leading to intraoperative bradycardia.7 Studies in mice suggest that this stimulation is predominantly mediated by the M3 receptor, and mutant knockout mice are not susceptible to these effects.7

Absorption

In adults, a 66 mg topical dose of glycopyrronium reaches a Cmax of 0.08 ± 0.04 ng/mL, with a Tmax of 1 hour, and an AUC0-24 of 0.88 ± 0.57 h*ng/mL.12

Inhaled glycopyrronium is approximately 40% bioavailable.15 A 25 µg inhaled solution reaches a Cmax of 34.5 pg/mL, with a Tmax of <20 minutes, and an AUC0-inf of 255 h*pg/mL.13

An 8 µg/kg intramuscular dose reaches a Cmax of 3.47 ± 1.48 µg/L, with a Tmax of 27.48 ± 6.12 minutes, and an AUC of 6.64 ± 2.33 h*g/L.17

Oral glycopyrronium has highly variable pharmacokinetics, reaching a mean Cmax of 0.318 ng/mL, a Tmax of 3.1 hours, and an AUC0-24 of 1.74 h*ng/mL.18

Volume of distribution

The mean volume of distribution in patients aged 1-14 years old is 1.3-1.8 L/kg, with a range of 0.7-3.9 L/kg.12 The volume of distribution in adults aged 60-75 years is 0.42 ± 0.22 L/kg.12

Protein binding

Glycopyrronium is 38-44% protein bound in plasma.15 It is bound to serum albumin, alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, as well as other plasma proteins that have not been identified in literature.16

Metabolism

Glycopyrronium is hydrolyzed to the inactive M9 metabolite.15,16 Metabolism was mainly mediated by CYP2D6, with minor contributions from CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C18, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4.15,16

Route of elimination

85% of an intravenous dose was recovered in the urine, with <5% recovered in the bile.12 >80% of the recovered dose is the unchanged parent drug.12 The remainder is recovered as the inactive M9 metabolite.15,16

Half-life

The half life after inhalation is approximately 33-53 hours.15 The mean half life of a 6 µg/kg intravenous dose is 0.83 ± 0.27 hours.17 The mean half life of oral glycopyrronium is 3.0 hours.18

Clearance

A 6 µg/kg intravenous dose has a clearance of 0.54 ± 0.14 L/kg/h.17 An oral solution has a clearance of 5.28-38.95 L/h/kg in healthy adults and 8.07-25.65 L/h/kg in patients with cerebral palsy.18
