J Pharm Biomed Anal 2024; 240:115937. [PMID: 38198885 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2023.115937] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
Mirabegron and vibegron, both newly identified beta-3 adrenergic agonists, have significantly improved the quality of life for patients suffering from overactive bladder. In order to comprehensively assess the plasma exposure levels of these agents, the development of a rapid and highly sensitive bioanalytical method becomes imperative. The primary objective of this study was to establish a robust high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method for the concurrent quantification of mirabegron and vibegron in human plasma. The analytes were extracted from a 100 μL plasma sample through protein precipitation, employing 300 μL of methanol. Subsequently, samples underwent separation and quantification using a Waters XBridge C18 column (2.1 × 100 mm, 3.5 µm), with a mobile phase consisting of 0.1% formic acid in water and 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile. The mass analysis was conducted using positive electrospray ionization (ESI+) operated in a multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The proposed method was meticulously validated in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for bioanalytical method validation. The regression equations demonstrated exceptional linearity for both mirabegron (r² ≥ 0.994) and vibegron (r² ≥ 0.996) across the concentration range of 0.5 - 200 ng/mL. Furthermore, the assay exhibited accuracy (inter-day relative error ≤ 6.90%) and precision (inter-day coefficient of variation ≤ 8.88%). The average recoveries of the analytes were found to range from 81.94% to 102.02%, with mean matrix effects falling within the range of 89.77% to 110.58%. As a result, this method was deemed highly suitable for the precise determination of the concentrations of both mirabegron and vibegron in the context of therapeutic drug monitoring and bioequivalence studies.

Abstract
Annually, peripheral arterial disease is estimated to cost over USD 21 billion and diabetic foot disease an estimated at USD 9-13 billion. Mirabegron is a TGA-approved beta-3 adrenoreceptor agonist, shown to be safe and effective in the treatment of overactive bladder syndrome by stimulating bladder smooth muscle relaxation. In this review, we discuss the potential use of beta-3 adrenoreceptor agonists as therapeutic agents repurposed for peripheral arterial disease and diabetic foot ulcers. The development of both conditions is underpinned by the upregulation of oxidative stress pathways and consequential inflammation and hypoxia. In oxidative stress, there is an imbalance of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide. Endothelial nitric oxide synthase becomes uncoupled in disease states, producing superoxide and worsening oxidative stress. Agonist stimulation of the beta-3 adrenoreceptor recouples and activates endothelial nitric oxide synthase, increasing the production of nitric oxide. This reduces circulating reactive oxygen species, thus decreasing redox modification and dysregulation of cellular proteins, causing downstream smooth muscle relaxation, improved endothelial function and increased angiogenesis. These mechanisms lead to endothelial repair in peripheral arterial disease and an enhanced perfusion in hypoxic tissue, which will likely improve the healing of chronic ulcers.

Efficacy and safety of mirabegron in the treatment of overactive bladder syndrome after radical prostatectomy: a prospective randomized controlled study. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1188619. [PMID: 37205190 PMCID: PMC10185830 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1188619] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2023] [Accepted: 04/12/2023] [Indexed: 05/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives To evaluate the effects of mirabegron in the treatment of overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) after radical prostatectomy (RP). Patients and methods A total of 108 post-operative RP patients were randomly assigned to either the mirabegron (study) or the placebo (control) group. The Overactive Bladder Syndrome Self-Assessment Scale (OABSS) was selected as the primary endpoint, and the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and Quality of Life (QOL) score were selected as secondary endpoints. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 26, and the treatment effects were compared between the two groups using independent samples t-test. Results In total, 55 patients were included in the study group and 53 patients in the control group. The mean age was(70.08 ± 7.54)years. There was no statistical difference in the baseline data between the two groups. OABSS scores decreased significantly in the study group compared to the control group during drug treatment (6.67 ± 1.06 vs. 9.14 ± 1.83, p < 0.01) and were better than the control group during the follow-up at week 8 and week 12. In addition, the decrease in IPSS scores (11.29 ± 3.89 and 15.34 ± 3.54, p<0.01) and the increase in QOL scores (2.40 ± 0.81 vs. 3.20 ± 1.00) were statistically significant in the study group. And the patients in the study group had better improvement in voiding symptoms and quality of life than the control group during the follow-up period. Conclusion Daily administration of 50 mg mirabegron after RP surgery significantly improved the symptoms of OAB after surgery with fewer side effects. Additional randomized controlled trials should be conducted in the future to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of mirabegron.
