4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

Adjunctive therapy for the management of chronic urea cycle disorders due to deficiencies in carbamylphosphate (CPS), ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC), or argininosuccinic acid synthetase. it is indicated in all neonatal- onset efficiency presenting within the first 28 days of life. Also indicated in patients with late-onset, presenting after the first month of life with a history of hyperammonemic encephalopathy.

5.4 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Under fasting condition the Cmax of a single orally ingested 5g tablet and 5g powder after 1 hour are respectively 218mcg/ml and 195mcg/ml. The effect of food on phenylbutyrate absorption is still unknown.


Route of Elimination

The major route of elimination is the kidneys as phenylacetylglutamine.


Volume of Distribution

The volume of distribution of phenylbutyrate is 0.2 l/kg.


Clearance

Within 24 hours 80-100% of the administered dose in eliminated in the urine as pheylacetylglutamine.


5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

The overall disposition of sodium phenylbutyrate and its metabolites has not been characterized fully. However, the drug is known to be metabolized to phenylacetate and subsequently to phenylacetylglutamine. Metabolism of phenylbutyrate occurs mainly in liver and kidney.


5.6 Biological Half-Life

For sodium phenylbutyrate the half life is 0.77 hours. For phenylacetate the half life is 1.15 hours.


5.7 Mechanism of Action

Sodium phenylbutyrate is a pro-drug that is metabolized to the active compound phenylacetate. Phenylacetate conjuages with glutamine via acetylation reaction to form the product phenylacetylglutamine, which is excreted by the kidneys. This provides an alternative mechanism for waste nitrogen excretion.
