Description

Tegaserod is a 5-HT4 agonist manufactured by Novartis and used for the management of irritable bowel syndrome and constipation. Its use was the only drug approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration to help relieve the abdominal discomfort, bloating and constipation associated with irritable bowel syndrome. On March 30, 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration requested that Novartis withdraw Zelnorm from shelves. The FDA alleges a relationship between prescriptions of the drug and increased risks of heart attack or stroke. [Wikipedia]

Pharmacology

Indication

Provides relief from the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome including chronic idiopathic constipation.

Pharmacodynamics

Tegaserod is indicated for the short-term treatment of women with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) whose primary bowel symptom is constipation. Irritable bowel syndrome with constipation and chronic idiopathic constipation are both lower gastrointestinal dysmotility disorders. Clinical investigations have shown that both motor and sensory functions of the gut appear to be altered in patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), while in patients with chronic idiopathic constipation, reduced intestinal motility is the predominant cause of the condition. Both the enteric nervous system, which acts to integrate and process information in the gut, and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin) are thought to represent key elements in the etiology of both IBS and idiopathic constipation. Approximately 95% of serotonin is found throughout the gastrointestinal tract, primarily stored in enterochromaffin cells but also in enteric nerves acting as a neurotransmitter. Serotonin has been shown to be involved in regulating motility, visceral sensitivity and intestinal secretion. Investigations suggest an important role of serotonin Type-4 (5-HT₄) receptors in the maintenance of gastrointestinal functions in humans. 5-HT₄ receptor mRNA has been found throughout the human gastrointestinal tract.

Mechanism of action

Tegaserod is a 5-HT₄ receptor partial agonist that binds with high affinity at human 5-HT₄ receptors, whereas it has no appreciable affinity for 5-HT₃ or dopamine receptors. It has moderate affinity for 5-HT₁ receptors. Tegaserod, by acting as an agonist at neuronal 5-HT₄ receptors, triggers the release of further neurotransmitters such as calcitonin gene-related peptide from sensory neurons. The activation of 5-HT₄ receptors in the gastrointestinal tract stimulates the peristaltic reflex and intestinal secretion, as well as inhibits visceral sensitivity.

U5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B	antagonist	Human
U5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C	antagonist	Human
U5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A	antagonist	Human

Absorption

Rapidly absorbed after oral administration, with an absolute bioavailability of approximately 10%.

Volume of distribution

368 ± 223 L

Protein binding

98%

Metabolism

Tegaserod is metabolized mainly via two pathways. The first is a presystemic acid catalyzed hydrolysis in the stomach followed by oxidation and conjugation which produces the main metabolite of tegaserod, 5-methoxyindole-3-carboxylic acid glucuronide. The main metabolite has negligible affinity for 5-HT₄ receptors in vitro. The second metabolic pathway of tegaserod is direct glucuronidation which leads to generation of three isomeric N-glucuronides.

Route of elimination

Approximately two-thirds of the orally administered dose of tegaserod is excreted unchanged in the feces, with the remaining one-third excreted in the urine, primarily as the main metabolite.

Half life

11 ± 5 hours

Clearance

77 +/- 15 L/h [IV administration]

Toxicity

Oral LD₅₀ in rat is 2000 mg/kg.
