TAK-123, a combination of sodium phenylacetate (NaPA) and sodium benzoate (NaBZ), is an intravenously administered drug developed for the treatment of acute hyperammonemia in infants, children, and adults with urea cycle enzyme deficiencies. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability after intravenous infusion of TAK-123 in Japanese healthy adult volunteers. Ten volunteers received a 3.75 g/m2 loading dose of TAK-123 over a period of 1.5 h followed by a maintenance infusion of the same dose over 24 h. Phenylacetate (PA) and benzoate (BZ) and their respective metabolites, phenylacetylglutamine (PAG) and hippurate (HIP) were measured over a 24-h period using a high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method. Non-compartmental analysis was performed using WinNonlin® Professional. During the loading dose, plasma levels of both PA and BZ peaked at 1.5 h. Plasma PA levels plateaued and were maintained up to 6.5 h, whereas plasma BZ levels declined rapidly after switching to maintenance infusion. Urinary excretion ratios of PAG and HIP at 48 h after the administration were 99.3% and 104%, respectively, suggesting that almost all NaPA and NaBZ were metabolized and excreted into urine. Overall, TAK-123 was well-tolerated in healthy Japanese adults.
