Administration of BCX-1777 to primates results in a rapid elevation of plasma 2'-deoxyguanosine (up to 0.4 microg/ml, 1.5 microM). Maximum 2'-deoxyguanosine C(max), 0.4 microg/ml, was achieved with the lowest IV dose of BCX-1777 and increasing the IV dose of BCX-1777 did not increase the 2'-deoxyguanosine C(max). However, plasma 2'-deoxyguanosine remained elevated longer as the dose of BCX-1777 increased. In contrast, increases in the oral dose of BCX-1777 did increase the plasma C(max) of 2'-deoxyguanosine. This was in spite of the observation that overall oral bioavailability of BCX-1777 was only 8.2%. This suggests that the BCX-1777 was absorbed slowly producing a sustained low concentration of BCX-1777, resulting in prolonged plasma concentrations of 2'-deoxyguanosine. After IV dosing, the BCX-1777 was cleared relatively quickly and the plasma 2'-deoxyguanosine tracked slightly behind the BCX-1777. IV administration of 5 mg/kg of BCX-1777 twice daily maintains the plasma 2'-deoxyguanosine concentrations at around 0.3 microg/ml (1.1 microM). These data indicate that oral and IV administration of BCX-1777 induce a rapid rise in 2'-deoxyguanosine and that oral dosing at 8.8 and 17.6 mg/kg are at least equivalent to 4.4 mg/kg IV in effecting the accumulation of 2'-deoxyguanosine. Finally, 2'-deoxyguanosine plasma concentration was maintained longer in the three highest oral doses in comparison to all IV doses.
