DESCRIPTION SECTION
11 DESCRIPTION
Fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablet contains fesoterodine fumarate and is an extended-release tablet. Fesoterodine is rapidly de-esterified to its active metabolite (R)-2-(3-diisopropylamino-1-phenylpropyl)-4-hydroxymethyl-phenol, or 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine, which is a muscarinic receptor antagonist.
Chemically, fesoterodine fumarate is designated as (R-(+)-2-(-3-Diisopropylamino-1-phenylpropyl)-4-hydroxymethyl- phenylisobutyrate ester hydrogen fumarate. The empirical formula is C30H41NO7 and its molecular weight is 527.66. The structural formula is:
The asterisk (*) indicates the chiral carbon.
Fesoterodine fumarate is a white to off-white powder, which is very slightly soluble in water. Each fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets contains either 4 mg or 8 mg of fesoterodine fumarate and the following inactive ingredients: FD&C Blue #2 aluminium lake, hypromellose, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, soya lecithin, talc, titanium dioxide and xylitol.
NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION
13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
Carcinogenicity
No evidence of drug-related carcinogenicity was found in 24-month studies with oral administration to mice and rats. The highest tolerated doses in mice (females 45 to 60 mg/kg/day, males 30 to 45 mg/kg/day) correspond to 11 to 19 times (females) and 4 to 9 times (males) the estimated human AUC values reached with fesoterodine 8 mg, which is the Maximum Recommended Human Dose (MRHD). In rats, the highest tolerated dose (45 to 60 mg/kg/day) corresponds to 3 to 8 times (females) and 3 to 14 times (males) the estimated human AUC at the MRHD.
Mutagenesis
Fesoterodine was not mutagenic or genotoxic in vitro (Ames tests, chromosome aberration tests) or in vivo (mouse micronucleus test).
Impairment of Fertility
Fesoterodine had no effect on male reproductive function or fertility at doses up to 45 mg/kg/day in mice. At 45 mg/kg/day, a lower number of corpora lutea, implantation sites and viable fetuses was observed in female mice administered fesoterodine for 2-weeks prior to mating and continuing through day 7 of gestation. The maternal No-Observed-Effect Level (NOEL) and the NOEL for effects on reproduction and early embryonic development were both 15 mg/kg/day. At the NOEL, the systemic exposure, based on AUC, was 0.6 to 1.5 times higher in mice than in humans at the MRHD, whereas based on peak plasma concentrations, the exposure in mice was 5 to 9 times higher.
