Interferon kinetics and adverse reactions after intravenous, intramuscular, and subcutaneous injection. 1984

R J Wills, and S Dennis, and H E Spiegel, and D M Gibson, and P I Nadler

Three groups of six subjects each received a single 36 X 10(6) U dose of recombinant leukocyte A interferon (rIFN-alpha A) as a 40-min infusion, an intramuscular injection, or a subcutaneous injection. Blood samples were collected at specific times after dosing for analysis of rIFN-alpha A serum concentrations by an enzyme immunoassay method, ELISA. The rIFN-alpha A was rapidly distributed and moderately eliminated (t 1/2 = 5.1 hr) after intravenous infusion. The maximum concentrations at the end of intravenous infusion were tenfold the maximum concentrations after intramuscular and subcutaneous injections. Renal tubular secretion or extrarenal elimination was suggested by clearance values of 1.8 times the glomerular filtration rate. After intramuscular and subcutaneous injection, rIFN-alpha A was absorbed slowly (time to reach maximum concentration ranged from 4 to 8 hr), which resulted in prolonged serum concentrations. Estimated bioavailability was more than 80% for both intramuscular and subcutaneous injection shares qualitatively the same adverse reactions, the reactions differ in severity and duration. The adverse effects appear to be related to route of administration of herpes labialis were also noted. There were no significant clinical laboratory abnormalities of medical concern. Although rIFN-alpha A injected by intravenous infusion or intramuscular or subcutaneous injection shares qualitatively the same adverse reactions, the reactions differ in severity and duration. The adverse effects appear to be related to route of administration.

D007273 Injections, Intramuscular Forceful administration into a muscle of liquid medication, nutrient, or other fluid through a hollow needle piercing the muscle and any tissue covering it. Intramuscular Injections,Injection, Intramuscular,Intramuscular Injection
D007279 Injections, Subcutaneous Forceful administration under the skin of liquid medication, nutrient, or other fluid through a hollow needle piercing the skin. Subcutaneous Injections,Injection, Subcutaneous,Subcutaneous Injection
D007370 Interferon Type I Interferon secreted by leukocytes, fibroblasts, or lymphoblasts in response to viruses or interferon inducers other than mitogens, antigens, or allo-antigens. They include alpha- and beta-interferons (INTERFERON-ALPHA and INTERFERON-BETA). Interferons Type I,Type I Interferon,Type I Interferons,Interferon, Type I,Interferons, Type I
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.

D001831 Body Temperature The measure of the level of heat of a human or animal. Organ Temperature,Body Temperatures,Organ Temperatures,Temperature, Body,Temperature, Organ,Temperatures, Body,Temperatures, Organ
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
