Pharmacology

Indication

Fosaprepitant is indicated in adult and pediatric patients ≥6 months of age, in combination with other antiemetic agents, for the prevention of acute and delayed nausea and vomiting associated with initial and repeat courses of highly emetogenic cancer chemotherapy, including high-dose cisplatin.1 It is also indicated for the treatment of delayed nausea and vomiting with initial and repeat courses of moderately emetogenic cancer chemotherapy.1

Pharmacodynamics

Fosaprepitant is a prodrug of Aprepitant. Once biologically activated, the drug acts as a substance P/neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor antagonist which, in combination with other antiemetic agents, is indicated for the prevention of acute and delayed nausea and vomiting associated with initial and repeat courses of highly emetogenic cancer chemotherapy. Aprepitant is a selective high-affinity antagonist of human substance P/neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors. Aprepitant has little or no affinity for serotonin (5-HT3), dopamine, and corticosteroid receptors, the targets of existing therapies for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CI NV).

Mechanism of action

Aprepitant has been shown in animal models to inhibit emesis induced by cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents, such as cisplatin, via central actions. Animal and human Positron Emission Tomography (PET) studies with Aprepitant have shown that it crosses the blood brain barrier and occupies brain NK1 receptors. Animal and human studies show that Aprepitant augments the antiemetic activity of the 5-HT3-receptor antagonist ondansetron and the corticosteroid ethasone and inhibits both the acute and delayed phases of cisplatin induced emesis. In summary, the active form of fosaprepitant is as an NK1 antagonist which is because it blocks signals given off by NK1 receptors. This therefore decreases the likelihood of vomiting in patients experiencing.

Metabolism

Aprepitant is metabolized primarily by CYP3A4 with minor metabolism by CYP1A2 and CYP2C19. Seven metabolites of aprepitant, which are only weakly active, have been identified in human plasma.

Route of elimination

Aprepitant is eliminated primarily by metabolism; aprepitant is not renally excreted. Aprepitant is excreted in the milk of rats. It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk.

AbametapirThe serum concentration of Fosaprepitant can be increased when it is combined with Abametapir.
AbataceptThe metabolism of Fosaprepitant can be increased when combined with Abatacept.
AbemaciclibThe metabolism of Abemaciclib can be increased when combined with Fosaprepitant.

Food Interactions
  • Exercise caution with grapefruit products. Grapefruit inhibits the CYP3A4 metabolism of fosaprepitant, which may increase its serum concentration.
  • Exercise caution with St. John's Wort. This herb induces the CYP3A4 metabolism of fosaprepitant and may reduce its serum concentration.
