Identification

Summary

Silodosin is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist used to treat symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Brand Names
Rapaflo, Silodyx, Urorec
Generic Name
Silodosin
DrugBank Accession Number
DB06207
Background

Silodosin is a selective antagonist of alpha(α)-1 adrenergic receptors that binds to the α1A subtype with the highest affinity. α1-adrenergic receptors regulate smooth muscle tone in the bladder neck, prostate, and prostatic urethra: the α1A subtype accounts for approximately 75% of α1-adrenoceptors in the prostate.2

Silodosin was first approved by the FDA in October 2008 2 and it is also approved in Europe and Canada. Silodosin is available as oral capsules with common trade names Rapaflo and Urorec. It is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in adults.7 Most commonly affecting males over the age of 40 years, benign prostatic hyperplasia is the non-malignant enlargement of the prostate gland, associated with lower urinary tract symptoms that have a negative impact on the quality of life of patients.2 Silodosin works by binding to α1A-adrenoceptors with high affinity and relaxing the lower urinary tract, thereby improving urinary symptoms and alleviating bladder outlet obstruction.6

Pharmacodynamics

Silodosin is an antagonist of α1-adrenoceptors. It has the highest selectivity for the α1A-adrenoceptor subtype, with a 162-fold greater affinity than α1B-adrenoceptor and about a 50-fold greater affinity than for α1D-adrenoceptor. In clinical trials, silodosin improved maximum urinary flow rate, voiding symptoms, and storage symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia.2,3 Following oral administration, silodosin had a rapid onset of effect in men,3 with early effects of relieving lower urinary tract symptoms occurring within two to six hours post-dose.6

Silodosin inhibited the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (HERG) tail current; however, it has weak cardiovascular effects.5 As with all α1-adrenoceptor antagonists blocking α1-adrenoceptors in the iris dilator muscle, silodosin may cause intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS), which is characterized by small pupils and iris billowing during cataract surgery in patients taking α1-AR antagonists.6

Mechanism of action

The pathogenesis of benign prostatic hyperplasia is not fully understood: it is believed to involve several pathways, including inflammation, apoptosis, and cellular proliferation. Most drug therapies aim to alleviate symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, silodosin included. Lower urinary tract symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia are categorized into three main groups: voiding or obstructive (hesitancy, slow stream, intermittency, incomplete emptying), storage or irritative (frequency, urgency, nocturia, urge urinary incontinence), and postmicturition (postvoid dribbling). Prostate contraction is the main contributor to lower urinary tract symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. The smooth muscle tone of the prostate is regulated by α1A-adrenoceptors, which are the most highly expressed subtype of α1adrenoceptors in the human prostate tissue.2 It has been reported that blockade of α1A-adrenoceptors relieves bladder outlet obstruction. Blockade of α1D-adrenoceptors, another subtype found in prostate tissue, is believed to alleviate storage symptoms due to detrusor overactivity.6

α1-adrenoceptors are G protein-coupled receptors: upon binding of its natural ligand, norepinephrine and epinephrine, leads to the activation of phospholipase C and downstream signalling molecules, including inositol triphosphate and diacylglycerol. Ultimately, there is an increase in intracellular calcium levels and, consequently, smooth muscle contraction. Silodosin is an antagonist of α1-adrenoceptors, with the highest selectivity for the α1A-adrenoceptor subtype. By blocking the α1A-adrenoceptor signalling pathway, silodosin promotes prostatic and urethral smooth muscle relaxation, thereby improving lower urinary tract symptoms such as voiding. Silodosin also targets afferent nerves in the bladder, relieving bladder overactivity and storage symptoms.2

Absorption

The absolute bioavailability is approximately 32%. Following oral administration of silodosin 8 mg once daily in healthy male subjects, Cmax was 61.6 ± 27.54 ng/mL and AUC was 373.4 ± 164.94 ng x hr/mL. The Tmax was 2.6 ± 0.90 hours.7 Silodosin glucuronide or KMD-3213G, the main metabolite of silodosin, has an AUC three- or four fold higher than for the parent compound.2

A moderate fat or calorie meal reduces Cmax by 18% to 43% and AUC by 4% to 49%, as well as Tmax by about one hour. However, the US prescribing information recommends drug intake with meals to avoid the potential adverse effects associated with high plasma drug concentrations.7

Volume of distribution

Silodosin has an apparent volume of distribution of 49.5 L.7

Protein binding

Silodosin is approximately 97% protein bound.7

Metabolism

The main metabolite of silodosin is silodosin glucuronide (KMD-3213G), which is a pharmacologically active metabolite formed by direct glucuronide conjugation mediated by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B7 (UGT2B7). Silodosin glucuronide reaches plasma exposure (AUC) approximately four times greater than that of silodosin. The second major metabolite, KMD-3293, is formed from dehydrogenation catalyzed by alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenases. KMD-3293 has negligible pharmacological activity and reaches plasma exposures similar to that of silodosin. Silodosin is also metabolized by CYP3A4, which catalyzes the oxidation reaction.7

Other than glucuronidation, dehydrogenation, and oxidation as its main metabolic pathways, silodosin can also undergo dealkylation (KMD-3289), N-dealkylation, hydroxylation, glucosylation, and sulfate conjugation. Metabolites of silodosin can undergo a series of further metabolic pathways.4

Route of elimination

At 10 days following oral administration of radiolabelled silodosin, about 33.5% of the dose was recovered in urine and 54.9% was recovered in feces.7

Half-life

The elimination half-life of silodosin is 13.3 ± 8.07 hours. KMD-3213G, the main metabolite of silodosin, has an extended half-life of approximately 24 hours.7

Clearance

After intravenous administration, the plasma clearance of silodosin was approximately 10 L/hour. 7

Toxicity

Oral LD50 is 800 mg/kg in rats.8

In clinical trials, postural hypotension was the most common dose-limiting adverse event. In case of drug overdose leading to hypotension, the patient should be placed in a supine position to restore blood pressure and normalize heart rate. Further measures, such as administration of intravenous fluids, may be initiated. In case of the use of vasopressors, renal function should be monitored and supported as needed. Since silodosin is highly bound to plasma proteins, dialysis is unlikely to be beneficial.7
