Atosiban is an inhibitor of the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin. It is used intravenously to halt premature labor. Although initial studies suggested it could be used as a nasal spray and hence would not require hospital admission, it is not used in that form. Atobisan was developed by the Swedish company Ferring Pharmaceuticals. It was first reported in the literature in 1985. Atosiban is licensed in proprietary and generic forms for the delay of imminent pre-term birth in pregnant adult women.

4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

Atosiban is indicated for use in delaying imminent pre-term birth in pregnant adult women with: - regular uterine contractions of at least 30 s duration at a rate of at least 4 per 30 min - a cervical dilation of 1-3cm (0-3cm for nulliparas) and effacement of at least 50% - a gestational age of 24-33 weeks - a normal fetal heart rate


Tractotile is indicated to delay imminent pre-term birth in pregnant adult women with:

- regular uterine contractions of at least 30 seconds duration at a rate of 4 per 30 minutes;

- a cervical dilation of 1 to 3 cm (0-3 for nulliparas) and effacement of 50%;

- a gestational age from 24 until 33 completed weeks;

- a normal foetal heart rate.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Atosiban reduces the frequency of uterine contractions to delay pre-term birth in adult females and induces uterine quiescence.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Hormone Antagonists

Chemical substances which inhibit the function of the endocrine glands, the biosynthesis of their secreted hormones, or the action of hormones upon their specific sites. (See all compounds classified as Hormone Antagonists.)


Tocolytic Agents

Drugs that prevent preterm labor and immature birth by suppressing uterine contractions (TOCOLYSIS). Agents used to delay premature uterine activity include magnesium sulfate, beta-mimetics, oxytocin antagonists, calcium channel inhibitors, and adrenergic beta-receptor agonists. The use of intravenous alcohol as a tocolytic is now obsolete. (See all compounds classified as Tocolytic Agents.)

5.4 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

In women receiving 300 g/min by infusion for 6-12 h, average steady state concentrations of 442 ng/mL were reached within 1 h. Steady state concentrations increase proportionally to dosage.


Route of Elimination

Small amounts of atosiban are found in the urine with 50 times the amount appearing as the large fragment metabolite (des-(Orn, Gly-NH2)-[Mpa, D-Tyr(Et), Thr]-oxytocin. The amount of drug excreted in the feces is not known.


Volume of Distribution

Atosiban has a mean volume of distribution of 41.8 L. Atosiban crosses the placenta and, at a dose of 300 g/min, was found to have a 0.12 maternal/fetal concentration ratio.


Clearance

Atosiban has a mean clearance rate of 41.8 L/h.


5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

There are two metabolites of atosiban created through the cleavage of the peptide bond between ornithine and proline which is thought to be facilitated by prior cleavage of the disulfide bridge. The larger fragment remains active as an antagonist of oxytocin receptors but is 10 times less potent than the parent molecule. At a dosage of 300 g/min the ratio of parent molecule to the main metabolite was observed to be 1.4 at the second hour and 2.8 at the end of infusion.


5.6 Biological Half-Life

Atosiban does not conform to either 1-compartment or 2-compartment kinetics. It has been determined to have an initial half life (t) of 0.21 h and a terminal half life (t) of 1.7 h.


5.7 Mechanism of Action

Atosiban is a synthetic peptide oxytocin antagonist. It resembles oxytocin with has modifications at the 1, 2, 4, and 8 positions. The N-terminus of the cysteine residue is deaminated to form 3-mercaptopropanic acid at position 1, at position 2 L-tyrosine is modified to D-tyrosine with an ethoxy group replacing the phenol , threonine replaces glutamine at postion 4, and ornithine replaces leucine at position 8. It binds to membrane bound oxytocin receptors on the myometrium and prevents oxytocin-stimulated increases in inositol triphosphate production. This ultimately prevents release of stored calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and subsequent opening of voltage gated calcium channels. This shutdown of cytosolic calcium increase prevents contractions of the uterine muscle, reducing the frequency of contractions and inducing uterine quiescence. Atosiban has more recently been found to act as a biased ligand at oxytocin receptors. It acts as an antagonist of Gq coupling, explaining the inhibition of the inositol triphosphate pathway thought to be responsible for the effect on uterine contraction, but acts as an agonist of Gi coupling. This agonism produces a pro-inflammatory effect in the human amnion, activating pro-inflammatory signal tranducer NF-B. It is thought that this reduces atosiban's effectiveness compared to agents which do not produce inflammation as inflammatory mediators are known to play a role in the induction of labour.
