For the treatment of mucosal (caused by Leishmania braziliensis), cutaneous (caused by L. braziliensis, L. guyanensis, and L. panamensis), and visceral leishmaniasis (caused by L. donovani). In comparing Leishmania drug susceptibility, it has been found that L. donovani is the most susceptible to miltefosine while L. major is the least susceptible. Off-label use includes treatment of free-living amebae (FLA) infections (unlabeled use; CDC, 2013).
FDA Label
Little is known about the clinical pharmacodynamics of miltefosine and other antileishmanial drugs.
Antifungal Agents
Substances that destroy fungi by suppressing their ability to grow or reproduce. They differ from FUNGICIDES, INDUSTRIAL because they defend against fungi present in human or animal tissues. (See all compounds classified as Antifungal Agents.)
Antiprotozoal Agents
Substances that are destructive to protozoans. (See all compounds classified as Antiprotozoal Agents.)
Antineoplastic Agents
Substances that inhibit or prevent the proliferation of NEOPLASMS. (See all compounds classified as Antineoplastic Agents.)
P - Antiparasitic products, insecticides and repellents
P01 - Antiprotozoals
P01C - Agents against leishmaniasis and trypanosomiasis
P01CX - Other agents against leishmaniasis and trypanosomiasis
P01CX04 - Miltefosine
Absorption
After oral administration, miltefosine is slowly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract with an absolute bioavailability of 82% in rats and 94% in dogs. Absolute bioavailability has not been assessed in humans, however GI absorption rate in a two-compartment model is estimated to be 0.416 hr-1.
Route of Elimination
Miltefosine is almost completely eliminated by degradation via phospholipase D. Drug keeps accumulating until the end of treatment due to the extremely slow elimination, as seen by the long elimination half lives.
Volume of Distribution
Radioactivity studies have found that miltefosine has a wide distribution with high levels in the kidney, intestinal mucosa, liver, and spleen.
Clearance
Plasma clearance is very low and the terminal elimination half life was found to be 84 and 159 hours in rats and dogs respectively.
Miltefosine is metabolized mainly by phospholipase D, releasing choline, choline-containing metabolites, and hexadecanol, which are likely to enter the intermediary metabolism. The metabolites produced by this reaction are all endogenous and are likely used for bio-synthesis of acetylcholine, cell membranes, and long-chain fatty acids.
The primary elimination half life is 7.05 days (range: 5.45-9.10 days) and the terminal half-life is 30.9 days (range: 30.8-31.2 days).
Miltefosine has demonstrated activity against Leishmania parasites and neoplastic cells primarily due to its effects on apoptosis and disturbance of lipid-dependent cell signalling pathways. Several potential antileishmanial mechanisms of action have been proposed, however no mechanism has been identified definitely. Within the mitochondria, miltefosine inhibits cytochrome-c oxidase leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis-like cell death. Antineoplastic mechanisms of action are related to antileishmanial targets and include inhibition of phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis and inhibition of Akt (also known as protein kinase B), which is a crucial protein within the PI3K/Akt/mTOR intracellular signalling pathway involved in regulating the cell cycle. Animal studies also suggest it may be effective against Trypanosome cruzi (the organism responsible for Chagas' disease), metronidazole-resistant strains of Trichonomas vaginalis, and it may have broad-spectrum anti-fungal activity.
