Silodosin is an orally available, alpha-1 adrenoreceptor (alpha-1a) selective antagonist that can be used to relieve symptoms of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). Upon administration, silodosin selectively binds alpha-1a receptors located in the human prostate and bladder with high affinity and blocks signaling pathways mediated by alpha-1a. Blockade of these receptors causes smooth muscle relaxation, lowers intraurethral pressure, and results in improved urine flow and a reduction in the symptoms of BPH, such as difficulty with urinating, painful urination, urinary frequency and incomplete bladder emptying. In addition, silodosin may be used to improve lower urinary tract symptoms, which can occur after receiving radiation therapy for prostate cancer.
Silodosin is an alpha-Adrenergic Blocker. The mechanism of action of silodosin is as an Adrenergic alpha-Antagonist.

Treatment of the signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).


Treatment of the signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adult men.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Silodosin is an antagonist of 1-adrenoceptors. It has the highest selectivity for the 1A-adrenoceptor subtype, with a 162-fold greater affinity than 1B-adrenoceptor and about a 50-fold greater affinity than for 1D-adrenoceptor. In clinical trials, silodosin improved maximum urinary flow rate, voiding symptoms, and storage symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Following oral administration, silodosin had a rapid onset of effect in men, with early effects of relieving lower urinary tract symptoms occurring within two to six hours post-dose. Silodosin inhibited the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (HERG) tail current; however, it has weak cardiovascular effects. As with all 1-adrenoceptor antagonists blocking 1-adrenoceptors in the iris dilator muscle, silodosin may cause intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS), which is characterized by small pupils and iris billowing during cataract surgery in patients taking 1-AR antagonists.

5.5 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

The absolute bioavailability is approximately 32%. Following oral administration of silodosin 8 mg once daily in healthy male subjects, Cmax was 61.6 27.54 ng/mL and AUC was 373.4 164.94 ng x hr/mL. The Tmax was 2.6 0.90 hours. Silodosin glucuronide or KMD-3213G, the main metabolite of silodosin, has an AUC three- or four fold higher than for the parent compound. A moderate fat or calorie meal reduces Cmax by 18% to 43% and AUC by 4% to 49%, as well as Tmax by about one hour. However, the US prescribing information recommends drug intake with meals to avoid the potential adverse effects associated with high plasma drug concentrations.


Route of Elimination

At 10 days following oral administration of radiolabelled silodosin, about 33.5% of the dose was recovered in urine and 54.9% was recovered in feces.


Volume of Distribution

Silodosin has an apparent volume of distribution of 49.5 L.


Clearance

After intravenous administration, the plasma clearance of silodosin was approximately 10 L/hour.


5.6 Metabolism/Metabolites

The main metabolite of silodosin is silodosin glucuronide (KMD-3213G), which is a pharmacologically active metabolite formed by direct glucuronide conjugation mediated by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B7 (UGT2B7). Silodosin glucuronide reaches plasma exposure (AUC) approximately four times greater than that of silodosin. The second major metabolite, KMD-3293, is formed from dehydrogenation catalyzed by alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenases. KMD-3293 has negligible pharmacological activity and reaches plasma exposures similar to that of silodosin. Silodosin is also metabolized by CYP3A4, which catalyzes the oxidation reaction. Other than glucuronidation, dehydrogenation, and oxidation as its main metabolic pathways, silodosin can also undergo dealkylation (KMD-3289), N-dealkylation, hydroxylation, glucosylation, and sulfate conjugation. Metabolites of silodosin can undergo a series of further metabolic pathways.


5.7 Biological Half-Life

The elimination half-life of silodosin is 13.3 8.07 hours. KMD-3213G, the main metabolite of silodosin, has an extended half-life of approximately 24 hours.


5.8 Mechanism of Action

The pathogenesis of benign prostatic hyperplasia is not fully understood: it is believed to involve several pathways, including inflammation, apoptosis, and cellular proliferation. Most drug therapies aim to alleviate symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, silodosin included. Lower urinary tract symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia are categorized into three main groups: voiding or obstructive (hesitancy, slow stream, intermittency, incomplete emptying), storage or irritative (frequency, urgency, nocturia, urge urinary incontinence), and postmicturition (postvoid dribbling). Prostate contraction is the main contributor to lower urinary tract symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. The smooth muscle tone of the prostate is regulated by 1A-adrenoceptors, which are the most highly expressed subtype of 1adrenoceptors in the human prostate tissue. It has been reported that blockade of 1A-adrenoceptors relieves bladder outlet obstruction. Blockade of 1D-adrenoceptors, another subtype found in prostate tissue, is believed to alleviate storage symptoms due to detrusor overactivity. 1-adrenoceptors are G protein-coupled receptors: upon binding of its natural ligand, norepinephrine and epinephrine, leads to the activation of phospholipase C and downstream signalling molecules, including inositol triphosphate and diacylglycerol. Ultimately, there is an increase in intracellular calcium levels and, consequently, smooth muscle contraction. Silodosin is an antagonist of 1-adrenoceptors, with the highest selectivity for the 1A-adrenoceptor subtype. By blocking the 1A-adrenoceptor signalling pathway, silodosin promotes prostatic and urethral smooth muscle relaxation, thereby improving lower urinary tract symptoms such as voiding. Silodosin also targets afferent nerves in the bladder, relieving bladder overactivity and storage symptoms.
