Sofpironium
DrugBank Accession Number
DB19325
Background

Sofpironium is a "soft" anticholinergic analog of glycopyrronium that has been modified with a readily hydrolyzable ester moiety.6 Soft drugs are designed to reduce systemic toxicity while enhancing local efficacy by employing retrometabolic drug design, in which a molecule contains a metabolically sensitive moiety that promotes rapid metabolism to inactive metabolites after exerting activity at its target site.2 Sofpironium is rapidly converted to a less active metabolite, BBI-4010, after exerting its activity, thereby limiting the incidence and/or severity of systemic anticholinergic effects.5,6

Sofpironium bromide (Sofdra) was approved by the FDA in June 2024 for the topical treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis.4,5 It has also been available in Japan since 2020 under the brand name Ecclock.4

Pharmacodynamics

Binding studies at human muscarinic receptors (M1–M4) and guinea-pig ileum assays have found sofpironium bromide to have potency close to glycopyrronium with a shorter duration of action.6

Despite its topical application, sofpironium bromide exhibits some degree of systemic absorption that can result in anticholinergic adverse effects like urinary retention and heat illness.5 Patients with conditions that may be exacerbated by anticholinergic agents (e.g. myasthenia gravis, Sjögren’s syndrome) should not use sofpironium bromide, nor should it be used in patients already undergoing treatment with a systemic anticholinergic medication.5

Mechanism of action

Sofpironium is a competitive inhibitor of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are located on certain peripheral tissues, including eccrine sweat glands.5 By inhibiting the activity of these receptors, sofpironium indirectly reduces the rate of sweating in patients with axillary hyperhidrosis.

Absorption

Following a single topical administration of sofpironium in adult patients, the mean plasma Cmax was 2.71 ng/mL, the AUC0-t was 45.1 ng.hr/mL, and the tmax was 5.34 hours.5 Following a single topical administration of sofpironium in pediatric patients (9 to 16 years of age), the mean plasma Cmax was 1.30 ng/mL, the AUC0-t was 14.6 ng.hr/mL, and the tmax was 4.0 hours.5

Protein binding

Plasma protein binding of sofpironium is approximately 34.8 - 37.8%.5 Plasma protein binding of BBI-4010 is significantly lower at approximately 2.3 - 3.7%.5

Metabolism

Sofpironium is metabolized by non-enzymatic hydrolysis, oxidative metabolism via CYP2D6 and CYP3A4, and glycine conjugation.5 As a product of retrometabolic drug design, sofpironium includes a metabolically labile ester moiety that is readily hydrolyzed (by plasma paraoxonase 1 (PON1))3 to produce BBI-4010, a less active anticholinergic agent, thereby limiting the risk of systemic adverse effects.6

In plasma, the major component was sofpironium (38%) followed by BBI-4010 (20%).5

Toxicity

In the event of an overdose via overapplication of sofpironium bromide topical gel, prescribing information recommends washing the area with soap and water.5 Patients experiencing an overdose are likely to exhibit anticholinergic toxicities, including mydriasis (pupil dilation), blurred vision, urinary retention, and temperature dysregulation. Symptoms attributed to sofpironium overdose should be treated symptomatically.5

Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate, and reducing the second into a water molecule, with two electrons provided by NADPH via cytochrome P450 reductase (NADPH--hemoprotein reductase). Catalyzes the hydroxylation of carbon-hydrogen bonds (PubMed:12865317, PubMed:14559847, PubMed:15373842, PubMed:15764715, PubMed:21490593, PubMed:21576599, PubMed:2732228). Exhibits high catalytic activity for the formation of hydroxyestrogens from estrone (E1) and 17beta-estradiol (E2), namely 2-hydroxy E1 and E2, as well as D-ring hydroxylated E1 and E2 at the C-16 position (PubMed:11555828, PubMed:12865317, PubMed:14559847). Plays a role in the metabolism of androgens, particularly in oxidative deactivation of testosterone (PubMed:15373842, PubMed:15764715, PubMed:22773874, PubMed:2732228).

Contributes to the formation of hydroxycholesterols (oxysterols), particularly A-ring hydroxylated cholesterol at the C-4beta position, and side chain hydroxylated cholesterol at the C-25 position, likely contributing to cholesterol degradation and bile acid biosynthesis (PubMed:21576599). Catalyzes bisallylic hydroxylation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (PubMed:9435160). Catalyzes the epoxidation of double bonds of PUFA with a preference for the last double bond (PubMed:19965576).

Plays a role in the metabolism of retinoids. Displays high catalytic activity for oxidation of all-trans-retinol to all-trans-retinal, a rate-limiting step for the biosynthesis of all-trans-retinoic acid (atRA) (PubMed:10681376). Further metabolizes atRA toward 4-hydroxyretinoate and may play a role in hepatic atRA clearance (PubMed:11093772). Responsible for oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics. Acts as a 2-exo-monooxygenase for plant lipid 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol) (PubMed:11159812). Metabolizes the majority of the administered drugs. Catalyzes sulfoxidation of the anthelmintics albendazole and fenbendazole (PubMed:10759686). Hydroxylates antimalarial drug quinine (PubMed:8968357). Acts as a 1,4-cineole 2-exo-monooxygenase (PubMed:11695850). Also involved in vitamin D catabolism and calcium homeostasis.

General Function
Electrogenic voltage-dependent transporter that mediates the transport of a variety of organic cations such as endogenous bioactive amines, cationic drugs and xenobiotics (PubMed:11388889, PubMed:11408531, PubMed:12439218, PubMed:12719534, PubMed:15389554, PubMed:16263091, PubMed:16272756, PubMed:16581093, PubMed:19536068, PubMed:21128598, PubMed:23680637, PubMed:24961373, PubMed:34040533, PubMed:9187257, PubMed:9260930, PubMed:9655880). Functions as a pH- and Na(+)-independent, bidirectional transporter (By similarity). Cation cellular uptake or release is driven by the electrochemical potential (i.e. membrane potential and concentration gradient) and substrate selectivity (By similarity). Hydrophobicity is a major requirement for recognition in polyvalent substrates and inhibitors (By similarity). Primarily expressed at the basolateral membrane of hepatocytes and proximal tubules and involved in the uptake and disposition of cationic compounds by hepatic and renal clearance from the blood flow (By similarity). Most likely functions as an uptake carrier in enterocytes contributing to the intestinal elimination of organic cations from the systemic circulation (PubMed:16263091). Transports endogenous monoamines such as N-1-methylnicotinamide (NMN), guanidine, histamine, neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin and adrenaline (PubMed:12439218, PubMed:24961373, PubMed:35469921, PubMed:9260930). Also transports natural polyamines such as spermidine, agmatine and putrescine at low affinity, but relatively high turnover (PubMed:21128598). Involved in the hepatic uptake of vitamin B1/thiamine, hence regulating hepatic lipid and energy metabolism (PubMed:24961373). Mediates the bidirectional transport of acetylcholine (ACh) at the apical membrane of ciliated cell in airway epithelium, thereby playing a role in luminal release of ACh from bronchial epithelium (PubMed:15817714). Transports dopaminergic neuromodulators cyclo(his-pro) and salsolinol with lower efficency (PubMed:17460754). Also capable of transporting non-amine endogenous compounds such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and prostaglandin F2-alpha (PGF2-alpha) (PubMed:11907186). May contribute to the transport of cationic compounds in testes across the blood-testis-barrier (Probable). Also involved in the uptake of xenobiotics tributylmethylammonium (TBuMA), quinidine, N-methyl-quinine (NMQ), N-methyl-quinidine (NMQD) N-(4,4-azo-n-pentyl)-quinuclidine (APQ), azidoprocainamide methoiodide (AMP), N-(4,4-azo-n-pentyl)-21-deoxyajmalinium (APDA) and 4-(4-(dimethylamino)styryl)-N-methylpyridinium (ASP) (PubMed:11408531, PubMed:15389554, PubMed:35469921, PubMed:9260930)
