Safety, tolerability, and effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of iloperidone (HP 873), a potential atypical antipsychotic.

Iloperidone (HP 873) is a D2 and 5-HT2 receptor-antagonist that is under development as a potential atypical antipsychotic agent. Two studies on iloperidone evaluated its safety and tolerability, made a preliminary pharmacokinetic assessment of single 3- and 5-mg doses, and determined the effect of food on its tolerability and pharmacokinetics in healthy volunteers after single 3-mg doses. Iloperidone was well absorbed orally in fasted subjects. The Cmax occurred approximately 2 to 3 hours after administration of a single 3- or 5-mg dose. The pharmacokinetic parameters increased with the dose between 3 and 5 mg (from 2.2 to 5.2 ng/mL for Cmax, and 16 to 50 ng/mL.h for AUC). Iloperidone was eliminated slowly, with a mean t1/2 of 13.5 to 14.0 hours. Coadministration with food did not significantly affect AUC, tmax, or Cmax. These results indicate that the rate of iloperidone's absorption is decreased, but the overall bioavailability is unchanged, when the drug is taken with food. Orthostatic hypotension, dizziness, and somnolence were the most commonly reported adverse events. Coadministration of food reduced the incidence and severity of these events.[1]
