Parathyroid hormone

Identification

Name

Parathyroid hormone

Accession Number

DB05829

Description

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a single-chain polypeptide composed of 84 amino acids. Available as Preotact, it is an identical form of human recombinant hormome which produced as a fusion protein undergoeing post-translational processing involving the cleavage of the OmpA leader sequence, leaving the mature protein as a single-chain 84 amino-acids polypeptide (9.4 kDa).

Preotact is used in the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at high risk of osteoporotic fractures and is marketed in Europe by Nycomed. Preos is a registered trade mark owned by NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The name Preos and the New Drug Application is pending approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Pharmacodynamics

Parathyroid hormone is responsible for the fine regulation of serum calcium concentration on a minute-to-minute basis. This is achieved by the acute effects of the hormone on calcium resorption in bone and calcium reabsorption in the kidney. The phosphate mobilized from bone is excreted into the urine by means of the hormone's influence on renal phosphate handling. Parathyroid hormone also stimulates calcium absorption in the intestine, this being mediated indirectly by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. Thus, a hypocalcemic stimulus of parathyroid hormone secretion results in an increased influx of calcium from three sources (bone, kidney, and intestine), resulting in a normalization of the serum calcium concentration without change in the serum phosphate concentration.

Mechanism of action

The biological actions of rhPTH are mediated through binding to at least two distinct high- affinity cell-surface receptors specific for the N-terminal and C-terminal regions of the molecule, both of which are required for normal bone metabolism. The N-terminal portion of the molecule is primarily responsible for the bone building effects of parathyroid hormone. The C-terminal portion of the molecule has antiresorptive activity and is necessary for normal regulation of N-terminal fragment activity.

Absorption

The absolute bioavailability after subcutaneous administration in the abdomen is 55% for doses of 100 micrograms.

Volume of distribution

The volume of distribution at steady-state following intravenous administration is approximately 5.4 liters with an interpatient variability of about 40%.

Protein binding

Not Available

Metabolism

PTH is primarily metabolised in the liver with lesser contributions by the kidney. Amino terminal fragments are metabolised in the liver while carboxyl terminal groups travel to the kidney for metabolism where they are also thought to have a role in regulation of PTH. Only about 30% of circulating hormone is present as the unfragmented form.

Route of elimination

Carboxy-terminal fragments are filtered by the kidney and subsequently broken down into even smaller fragments during tubular reuptake.

Half-life

1.5 hours.
