| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Several studies have suggested that a significant proportion of the toxicity profile of the antifolate methotrexate can be attributed to its hydroxylated and polyglutamylated metabolites. CH-1504 is an investigational antifolate, which is neither hydroxylated or polyglutamylated. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to test the tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple ascending doses of CH-1504. METHODS: Two single-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase I studies were conducted in single and multiple ascending-dose designs in healthy male adult volunteers. In the single ascending-dose study, subjects were randomized to receive the study drug (1, 5, 7.5, 10, 15, or 20 mg) or placebo in a 4:1 ratio. Subjects were under clinical supervision for 48 hours following a single oral administration. Follow-up occurred on days 10 and 30. In the multiple ascending-dose study, subjects were randomized to receive the study drug (7.5, 10, or 15 mg) or placebo at a 3:1 ratio. Subjects received a single oral administration of CH-1504 once daily on days 1 through 7, during which time they remained under clinical supervision. Follow-up was conducted on days 16 and 30. Tolerability was determined through echocardiogram and clinical laboratory tests (eg, hematology, serum biochemistry, urinalysis). RESULTS: No clinically significant abnormalities were observed in any of the tolerability evaluations. No adverse events were attributed to treatment and those that were possibly related (eg, rash, headache, dizziness) were all considered mild. Peak plasma concentrations occurred between 1 to 2.5 hours after administration and the apparent t(1/2) was approximately 3 hours. On average, <3.1% of the administered dose was recovered as CH-1504 in the urine in the single-dose study and <1.5% in the multiple-dose study. CONCLUSIONS: CH-1504 appeared to be well tolerated in single administered doses up to 20 mg and daily administrations for 7 days up to 15 mg in healthy male volunteers in these studies. However, the results of the pharmacokinetic analysis support the development of a new formulation to improve the bioavailability before further clinical studies are warranted. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
