4.3 Drug Indication

Elemental use in copper deficiency Copper and copper containing compounds are broadly used in medical practice. Metallic copper is used already for many years in dental fillings and in copper intrauterine devices (IUD) for reversible contraception. Ointments containing copper, which release copper ions that are absorbed by the skin in the management of cramps, disturbances of renal function, peripheral, venous hypostatic circulatory disturbances, rheumatic disease and swelling associated with trauma. There are also cosmetic facial creams containing copper as their main active ingredient.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Copper is an essential mineral that plays a key role in many physiological processes, including angiogenesis, skin generation and expression and stabilization of skin proteins. Copper is found naturally in many food sources including meats, vegetables, and grains. Copper has potent biocidal properties and is used to eliminate bacteria, viruses and parasites,. Copper is one of the nine essential minerals for humans, as it plays an imperative role in various physiological pathways in basically all human tissue, as well as in the health of the dermis and epidermis. In addition to the above, copper is essential in wound healing, as it promotes angiogenesis and skin extracellular matrix formation and stabilization.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Emetics

Agents that cause vomiting. They may act directly on the gastrointestinal tract, bringing about emesis through local irritant effects, or indirectly, through their effects on the chemoreceptor trigger zone in the postremal area near the medulla. (See all compounds classified as Emetics.)


Antidotes

Agents counteracting or neutralizing the action of POISONS. (See all compounds classified as Antidotes.)

5.4 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Primarily absorbed in the small intestine. Based on studies with radioactive isotopes of copper, most copper is absorbed from the stomach and duodenum of the gastrointestinal tract. Maximum blood copper levels are observed within 1 to 3 hours following oral administration, and about 50 percent of ingested copper was absorbed. Copper absorption is proposed to occur by two mechanisms, one energy- dependent and the other enzymatic. Factors that can interfere with copper absorption include competition for binding sites with zinc, interactions with molybdenum and sulfates, chelation with phytates, and inhibition by ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Copper absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract is transported rapidly to blood serum and deposited in the liver bound to metallothionein. From 20 to 60% of the dietary copper is absorbed.


Route of Elimination

This drug is 80% eliminated via the liver in bile. Minimal excretion by the kidney. Metabolism studies show that persons with daily intakes of 2-5 mg of copper per day absorbed 0.6 to 1.6 mg (32%), excreted 0.5 to 1.3 mg in the bile, passed 0.1 to 0.3 mg directly into the bowel, and excreted 0.01 to 0.06 mg in the urine. As the data indicate, urinary excretion plays a negligible role in copper clearance, and the main route of excretion is in the bile. Other nonsignificant excretory routes include saliva, sweat, menstrual flow, and excretion into the intestine from the blood.


Volume of Distribution

The body of a 70 kg healthy individual contains approximately 110 mg of copper, 50% of which is found in the bones and muscles, 15% in the skin, 15% in the bone marrow, 10% in the hepatic system, and 8% in the brain. The distribution of copper is affected by sex, age, and the amount of copper in the diet. Brain and liver have the highest tissue levels (about one-third of the total body burden), with lesser concentrations found in the heart, spleen, kidneys, and blood. The iris and choroid of the eye have very high copper levels. Erythrocyte copper levels are generally stable, however, plasma levels fluctuate widely in association with the synthesis and release of ceruloplasmin. Plasma copper levels during gestation may be 2-3 times levels measured before pregnancy, due to the increased synthesis of ceruloplasmin.


Effect of hydrogen ion (H+) concentration, water hardness, suspended solids, fish age, size, and species, acclimatization to copper, and levels of copper in food on poisoning of fish by copper sulfate used as a herbicide in freshwater ponds is discussed. Copper levels in muscle, kidney, and organs of rainbow trout were approximately 0.8-1.1, 2.0-2.3, and 115-150 mg/kg fresh weight, respectively, after 12 months intermittent exposure to various copper sulfate containing formulations 0.6, 2.0, and 100 mg/kg, respectively, in controls ... .

Bohl M, Wagner H; Fisch Umwelt 10(Beitr Fischtoxikol - Parasitol): 121-7 (1981)


Male rats were orally administered for 2, 5, and 11 days with 0.5 mmol/kg of copper cmpd. ... In the case of cupric carbonate, copper was much more distributed in the tissues, especially in the liver, than for copper sulfate. The copper level increased progresively in mitochondria lysosomal fractions of the liver in proportion to the period of administration. In the 105,000 g supernatant fraction, copper was distributed in the metallothionein fraction rather than in the superoxide dismutase fraction. The administration of copper cmpd resulted in an increase in the zinc level in the liver, kidney and spleen, preferentially in the metallothionein fraction of the liver, but it seemed to have little effect on iron metabolism.

Fujita M et al; Eisei Kagaku 30 (2): 69-78 (1984)


5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

Maximum blood copper levels were observed within 1 to 3 hours following oral administration, and about 50 percent of ingested copper was absorbed. Copper absorption is believed to occur by two mechanisms, one energy- dependent and the other enzymatic. Factors that can interfere with copper absorption include competition for binding sites with zinc, interactions with molybdenum and sulfates, chelation with phytates, and inhibition by ascorbic acid. Copper absorbed from the intestine is transported quickly into blood serum and deposited in the liver bound to metallothionein. It is released and incorporated into ceruloplasmin, a copper-specific transport protein. The remaining copper in the serum binds to albumin or amino acids or is contained in the erythrocytes. About 80 percent of the absorbed copper is bound to liver metallothionein; the remainder is included into cytochrome c oxidase or sequestered by lysosomes.


5.6 Biological Half-Life

The biological half-life of copper from the diet is 13-33 days with biliary excretion being the primary route of elimination.


5.7 Mechanism of Action

This drug is an essential trace element for the functioning of many metalloenzymes including ceruloplasmin, ferroxidase II, lysyl oxidase, monoamine oxidase, Zn-copper superoxide dismutase, tyrosinase, dopamine--hydroxylase, and cytochrome-c-oxidase. It is involved in erythropoiesis & leukopoiesis, bone mineralization, elastin and collagen cross-linking, oxidative phosphorylation, catecholamine metabolism, melanin formation & antioxidant protection of cells. Cupric sulfate may also have a role in iron turnover, ascorbic acid metabolism, phospholipid metabolism, myelin formation, glucose homeostasis, and cellular immune defense. After the metal passes through the basolateral membrane it is transported to the liver, attached to serum albumin. The liver is the critical organ for the homeostasis of copper. The copper is then prepared for excretion through the bile or incorporation into various proteins. The transport of copper to the peripheral tissues is accomplished through the plasma attached to serum albumin, ceruloplasmin or low-molecular-weight complexes. In the dermis, copper promotes dermal fibroblasts proliferation, upregulates collagen (types I, II, and V) and elastin fiber components (elastin, fibrillins) production by fibroblasts, through the induction of TGF-, promotes heat shock protein-47, important for collagen fibril formation, serves as a cofactor of LOX enzyme required for extracellular matrix protein cross-linking, stabilizes the skin ECM once formed, as increased crosslinking of collagen and elastin matrices occurs in a copper dose dependant manner, serves as a cofactor of superoxide dismutase, an antioxidant enzyme in the skin, essential for protection against free radicals, inhibits cellular oxidative effects such as membrane damage and lipid peroxidation, acts as a cofactor of tyrosinase, a melanin biosynthesis essential enzyme responsible for skin and hair pigmentation. In reference to its role as a biocide, copper is an essential nutrient for many organisms. It acts as a cofactor in respiration, and therefore copper is required for aerobic metabolism. Accumulation of copper ions or intracellular release of free copper ions from proteins lead to cell damage. Copper catalyzes reactions that result in the production of hydroxyl radicals through the Fenton and Haber-Weiss reactions. The highly reactive oxygen intermediates lead to lipid peroxidation and oxidation of proteins. Free copper ions oxidize sulfhydryl groups, such as cysteine, in proteins or the cellular redox buffer glutathione. In particular, copper ions inactivate proteins by damaging Fe-S clusters in cytoplasmic hydratases.


A significant drop in metabolic reserves was noted in cupric sulfate treated snails. Free amino acid levels dropped and the lactate level increased. The effects of copper treatment on rates of metabolite oxidation and ammonia production in the presence of exogenously added alpha-ketoglutarate were evaluated. A 92% drop in alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, a 33% drop in alanine aminotransferase, and a 78% rise in glucose 6-phosphatase were recorded. Molluscicidal activity of copper was due to a metabolic block in the tricarboxylic acid cycle at the alpha-ketoglutarate level.
