Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a dry powder inhalation (DPI) formulation.
- DPI dry powder inhalation
- D10 refers to the portion of particles with diameters below the specified value is 10%.
- D50 refers to the portion of particles with diameters smaller and larger than a specified value are 50%. Also known as the median diameter.
- D90 refers to the portion of particles with diameters below the specified value is 90%.
- MMAD mass median aerodynamic diameter
- FPF Frine-particle fraction
- Vero cells refer to mammalian cell lines derived from the kidney of an African green monkey extensively used in virology studies and other applications.
- First pass metabolism refers to a phenomenon in which a drug gets metabolized at a specific location in the body that results in a reduced concentration of the active drug upon reaching its site of action or the systemic circulation.
- Favipiravir is a broad-spectrum antiviral drug found to be active against various influenza viruses including seasonal strains A (H1N1), A (H3N2), influenza B, A (HlNl)pdm09, avian influenza virus A (H5N1) isolated from humans, A (H1N1), and A (H1N2) isolated from swine, A (H2N2), A (H4N2), and A (H7N2). Besides, it also inhibits the Ebola virus, bunyavirus, filovirus, West Nile virus, yellow fever virus, foot-and-mouth disease virus, and Lassa virus.
- the drug inhibits the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) of 72 influenza and many other RNA viruses.
- Favipiravir acts by inhibiting this viral RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) enzyme, an enzyme impeding replication of RNA viruses and allowing facile insertion of Favipiravir into viral RNA while sparing human DNA.
- RdRp viral RNA dependent RNA polymerase
- Favipiravir was preferred based on the available safety and efficacy details. The data suggest a high dose of Favipiravir was required to inhibit SARS- CoV-2 infection in Vero cells. The recommended dose for clinical use in the majority of the countries is 1800 mg bid on day 1, followed by 800 mg bid on days 2-14. It was observed that the high oral dosage leading to poor compliance of the patients. Further, it is also observed ethnic variations in the pharmacokinetic profile of the drug.
- Favipiravir In an in vivo study, upon administration of single and multiple doses of Favipiravir lower concentration was observed in the lungs than in plasma. Further, a high dose of Favipiravir in animal models leads to mutations in the viral genomes (large number of G A and C U mutations). The mean number of mutations increased with an increase in the dosage of Favipiravir.
- favipiravir is also associated with adverse reactions that include mild to moderate diarrhea, an asymptomatic increase of blood uric acid and transaminases, a decrease in the neutrophil counts, and increased levels of liver enzymes like AFT and AST.
- Favipiravir administered at high dose of 1,000 mg-kg _1 -d _1 in the hamster transmission model markedly blocked viral infection of sentinel hamsters that were in direct contact with infected hamsters.
- Favipiravir can be administered as a prophylactic before the onset of COVID symptoms, however administration of high doses can lead to adverse effects.
