Racemic dOTC (BCH-10652) is a novel nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor consisting of two enantiomers of 2'-deoxy-3'-oxa-4'-thiocytidine, (-)dOTC and (+)dOTC, that have both shown activity against human immunodeficiency virus type 1. The objectives of this study were to characterize the safety, tolerability, and stereospecific pharmacokinetics of single oral doses of racemic dOTC in healthy, nonsmoking adult male volunteers. Subjects received single oral doses of 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1,600 mg of racemic dOTC in a placebo-controlled, dose-rising, incomplete crossover study design, and the pharmacokinetics of both (+)dOTC and (-)dOTC were determined. At least six subjects were studied at each dose level, with each subject studied in three of five periods, receiving two different doses of racemic dOTC and one placebo dose. Plasma and urine drug concentrations were measured for 24 to 48 h after each dose. Pharmacokinetic models were fitted to the plasma concentrations of (+)dOTC and (-)dOTC using maximum likelihood and maximum a posteriori Bayesian procedures. Statistical hypothesis testing was by nonparametric analysis of variance (where possible) and, when tests with dose as a covariate were performed, by linear mixed-effects modeling. The mean terminal elimination half-lives for (+)dOTC and (-)dOTC were 15.3 h (coefficient of variation [CV], 28%) and 11.3 h (CV, 43%), respectively (P<0.05). The mean CV for total oral clearance (liter/h/65 kg) was 17.5 (25%) for (+)dOTC and 21.5 (24%) for (-)dOTC; for oral steady-state volume of distribution (liter/65 kg), values were 61.8 (24%) for (+)dOTC and 34.1 (33%) for (-)dOTC (P<0.05). The mean CV for renal clearance (liter/h/65 kg) of (+)dOTC was 10.4 (19%) and for (-)dOTC was 13.6 (20%) (P<0.05). There was no significant effect of dose size on the pharmacokinetics of racemic dOTC. All doses were well tolerated, and no serious adverse events or laboratory abnormalities were observed.
