The bioavailability of PMEA from three oral formulations of the prodrug bis(POM)-PMEA has been evaluated in fasted male cynomolgus monkeys. The formulations examined included a hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPBCD) complex, a PEG based cosolvent solution, and an aqeous suspension. Oral formulations containing 3H-bis(POM)-PMEA were compared to intravenous 3H-PMEA at 10.9 mg-eq/kg in a crossover study in four monkeys, with a 7 day washout period. No intact bis(POM)-PMEA or monoester were detected in plasma. Bioavailabilities of PMEA from the prodrug were 24.7 +/- 6.5%, 27.3 +/- 12.3% and 22.2 +/- 15.6% for the HPBCD complex, PEG solution and aqueous suspension, respectively. The oral bioavailability of PMEA from bis(POM)-PMEA was not limited by dissolution rate of the prodrug. Data for the PEG cosolvent solution and suspension indicate that the prodrug could potentially be formulated as a soft gelatin capsule or a tablet.
