/EXPL THER/ Since levodopa-induced peak dyskinesias (LIDs) may reflect, in part, a disproportionate phasic release of dopamine from synaptic vesicles, we examined the ability of the vesicular depletor tetrabenazine (TBZ) to reduce LIDs in 10 dyskinetic advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. After basal evaluation, the patients received, through a slow titration, oral TBZ twice a day for six weeks (up to 50 mg daily) before being re-assessed after a challenge with levodopa. The primary outcome measure was the change in the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) dyskinesia score (items 32 to 34). TBZ was well tolerated. A clear treatment effect on LIDs emerged (up to 45%, p<0.05). In two patients a little worsening of motor performance necessitated an increase of the antiparkinsonian therapy, which did not worsen peak-dose LIDs. The patients experienced a clear benefit in terms of their quality of life. In this open-label pilot study, orally administered TBZ resulted in objective and subjective improvements in LIDs. Larger pharmacological studies are in progress.

/BOXED WARNING/ WARNING: DEPRESSION AND SUICIDALITY. Xenazine can increase the risk of depression and suicidal thoughts and behavior (suicidality) in patients with Huntington's disease. Anyone considering the use of Xenazine must balance the risks of depression and suicidality with the clinical need for control of chorea. Close observation of patients for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior should accompany therapy. Patients, their caregivers, and families should be informed of the risk of depression and suicidality and should be instructed to report behaviors of concern promptly to the treating physician. Particular caution should be exercised in treating patients with a history of depression or prior suicide attempts or ideation, which are increased in frequency in Huntington's disease. Xenazine is contraindicated in patients who are actively suicidal, and in patients with untreated or inadequately treated depression.

Caution should be exercised in treating patients with tetrabenazine who have a history of depression or prior suicide attempts or ideation since these patients may be at an increased risk for suicidal behavior. Patients who are actively suicidal or those with untreated or inadequately treated depression should not be treated with the drug.

Huntington's disease is a progressive disorder characterized by changes in mood, cognition, chorea, rigidity, and functional capacity over time. In a 12-week controlled trial, Xenazine was also shown to cause slight worsening in mood, cognition, rigidity, and functional capacity. Whether these effects persist, resolve, or worsen with continued treatment is unknown.

Prior to administering tetrabenazine dosages exceeding 50 mg daily, the manufacturer recommends patients be tested to determine their cytochrome P-450 (CYP) isoenzyme 2D6 status (i.e., poor metabolizers, extensive metabolizers, intermediate metabolizers).1 Drug exposure will be substantially higher (about threefold for alpha-dihydrotetrabenazine (a-HTBZ) and ninefold for beta-dihydrotetrabenazine (beta-HTBZ), both active metabolites) when a dose is given to a poor metabolizer than when given to an extensive metabolizer.1 The manufacturer recommends limiting the dosage of tetrabenazine to 50 mg daily and single doses of the drug to 25 mg in patients who are poor CYP2D6 metabolizers.

Treatment of hyperkinetic movement disorders like chorea in Huntington's disease, hemiballismus, senile chorea, Tourette syndrome and other tic disorders, and tardive dyskinesia
FDA Label
Prolongation of the QTc interval has been observed at doses of 50 mg. In rats, it has been observed that tetrabenazine or its metabolites bind to melanin-containing tissues such as the eyes and skin. After a single oral dose of radiolabeled tetrabenazine, radioactivity was still detected in eye and fur at 21 days post dosing.
Adrenergic Uptake Inhibitors
Drugs that block the transport of adrenergic transmitters into axon terminals or into storage vesicles within terminals. The tricyclic antidepressants (ANTIDEPRESSIVE AGENTS, TRICYCLIC) and amphetamines are among the therapeutically important drugs that may act via inhibition of adrenergic transport. Many of these drugs also block transport of serotonin. (See all compounds classified as Adrenergic Uptake Inhibitors.)

Absorption
Following oral administration of tetrabenazine, the extent of absorption is at least 75%. After single oral doses ranging from 12.5 to 50 mg, plasma concentrations of tetrabenazine are generally below the limit of detection because of the rapid and extensive hepatic metabolism of tetrabenazine. Food does not affect the absorption of tetrabenazine. Cmax, oral = 4.8 ng/mL in HD or tardive dyskinesia patients; Tmax, oral = 69 min in HD or tardive dyskinesia patients
Route of Elimination
After oral administration, tetrabenazine is extensively hepatically metabolized, and the metabolites are primarily renally eliminated (75%). Tetrabenazine is also cleared fecally (7% to 16%). Unchanged tetrabenazine has not been found in human urine. Urinary excretion of -HTBZ or -HTBZ (the major metabolites) accounted for less than 10% of the administered dose.
Volume of Distribution
Steady State, IV, in HD or tardive dyskinesia patients: 385L. Tetrabenazine is rapidly distributed to the brain following IV injection. The site with the highest binding is the striatum, while the lowest binding was observed in the cortex.
Clearance
IV, 1.67 L/min in HD or tardive dyskinesia patients
The in vitro protein binding of tetrabenazine, alpha-dihydrotetrabenazine (a-HTBZ), and beta-dihydrotetrabenazine (b-HTBZ) was examined in human plasma for concentrations ranging from 50 to 200 ng/mL. Tetrabenazine binding ranged from 82% to 85%, a-HTBZ binding ranged from 60% to 68%, and b-HTBZ binding ranged from 59% to 63%.

Following oral administration of tetrabenazine, the extent of absorption is at least 75%. After single oral doses ranging from 12.5 to 50 mg, plasma concentrations of tetrabenazine are generally below the limit of detection because of the rapid and extensive hepatic metabolism of tetrabenazine by carbonyl reductase to the active metabolites alpha-dihydrotetrabenazine (a-HTBZ) and beta-dihydrotetrabenazine (b-HTBZ). a-HTBZ and b-HTBZ are metabolized principally by CYP2D6. Peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) of a-HTBZ and b-HTBZ are reached within 1 to 1 1/2 hours post-dosing. a-HTBZ is subsequently metabolized to a minor metabolite, 9-desmethyl-a-DHTBZ. b-HTBZ is subsequently metabolized to another major circulating metabolite, 9-desmethyl-b-DHTBZ, for which Cmax is reached approximately 2 hours post-dosing.

Tetrabenazine is hepatically metabolized. Carbonyl reductase in the liver is responsible for the formation of two major active metabolites: -dihydrotetrabenazine (-HTBZ) and -dihydrotetrabenazine (-HTBZ). -HTBZ is further metabolized into 9-desmethyl--DHTBZ, a minor metabolite by CYP2D6 and with some contribution of CYP1A2. -HTBZ is metabolized to another major circulating metabolite, 9-desmethyl--DHTBZ, by CYP2D6. The Tmax of this metabolite is 2 hours post-administration of tetrabenazine.
In a mass balance study in 6 healthy volunteers, approximately 75% of the dose was excreted in the urine, and fecal recovery accounted for approximately 7 to 16% of the dose. Unchanged tetrabenazine has not been found in human urine. Urinary excretion of alpha-dihydrotetrabenazine (a-HTBZ) or beta-dihydrotetrabenazine (b-HTBZ) accounted for less than 10% of the administered dose. Circulating metabolites, including sulfate and glucuronide conjugates of HTBZ metabolites as well as products of oxidative metabolism, account for the majority of metabolites in the urine.

The results of in vitro studies do not suggest that tetrabenazine, alpha-dihydrotetrabenazine (a-HTBZ), beta-dihydrotetrabenazine (b-HTBZ) or 9-desmethyl-beta-dihydrotetrabenazine are likely to result in clinically significant inhibition of CYP2D6, CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2E1, or CYP3A. In vitro studies suggest that neither tetrabenazine nor its a- or b-HTBZ or 9-desmethyl-beta-dihydrotetrabenazine metabolites are likely to result in clinically significant induction of CYP1A2, CYP3A4, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, or CYP2C19.

After oral administration in humans, at least 19 metabolites of tetrabenazine have been identified. alpha-Dihydrotetrabenazine (a-HTBZ), beta-dihydrotetrabenazine (b-HTBZ) and 9-desmethyl-beta-dihydrotetrabenazine are the major circulating metabolites and are subsequently metabolized to sulfate or glucuronide conjugates. a-HTBZ and b-HTBZ are formed by carbonyl reductase that occurs mainly in the liver. a-HTBZ is O-dealkylated by CYP450 enzymes, principally CYP2D6, with some contribution of CYP1A2 to form 9-desmethyl-alpha-dihydrotetrabenazine, a minor metabolite. b-HTBZ is O-dealkylated principally by CYP2D6 to form 9-desmethyl-beta-dihydrotetrabenazine.

Tetrabenazine is a reversible human vesicular monoamine transporter type 2 inhibitor (Ki = 100 nM). It acts within the basal ganglia and promotes depletion of monoamine neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine from stores. It also decreases uptake into synaptic vesicles. Dopamine is required for fine motor movement, so the inhibition of its transmission is efficacious for hyperkinetic movement. Tetrabenazine exhibits weak in vitro binding affinity at the dopamine D2 receptor (Ki = 2100 nM).
... Pharmacology studies demonstrate that betrabenzaine reversibly inhibits the activity of vesicular monoamine transporter 2, resulting in depletion of central dopamine. ...
