Pancrelipase

Identification

Summary

Pancrelipaseis a purified form of porcine pancreatic lipase, amylase, and protease enzymes used to treat malabsorption associated with pancreatic insufficiency resulting from cystic fibrosis and pancreatitis.

Generic Name
Pancrelipase
DrugBank Accession Number
DB00085
Background

Pancrelipase, in general, is composed of a mixture of pancreatic enzymes which include amylases, lipases, and proteases. These enzymes are extracted from porcine pancreatic glands.5胰脂肪酶混合物是由氯酸镁Neil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc and FDA approved on April 12, 2010.6For further information on the components of this mixture please visitPancrelipase amylase,Pancrelipase proteaseandPancrelipase lipase.

Pharmacology

Indication

The use of pancrelipase amylase is part of the pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy. This therapy is indicated for the treatment of pancreatic insufficiency attributed to cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis or any other medically defined pancreatic disease that might require it.2,1Pancreatic diseases are associated with the deterioration of pancreatic parenchyma and of the dual physiological functions of the pancreas. Once established, pancreatic insufficiency results in malnutrition, weight loss, and steatorrhea.3

Pharmacodynamics

The major maldigestion/malabsorption problems arise from incomplete fat digestion. In clinical trials, the administration of pancrelipase as a mixture of amylase, lipase, and protease demonstrated a significant improvement in the coefficient of fat absorption and nitrogen absorption. These effects are accompanied by increased in body weight and body mass index.2

Mechanism of action

Pancrelipase is used to replace the deficiency of pancreatic enzymes. As abovementioned, pancrelipase is formed by a mixture of lipase, protease, and amylase which are able to break down fat, protein, and starches, respectively, in the small intestine.4For a more specific description of each mechanism of action, please visitPancrelipase amylase,Pancrelipase proteaseandPancrelipase lipase.

Absorption

Pancrelipase acts locally in the GI tract and it is not absorbed in any significant amount.7

Volume of distribution

Pancrelipase acts locally in the GI tract and it is not absorbed in any significant amount thus, the volume of distribution is not relevant.7

普罗特ein binding

Pancrelipase acts locally in the GI tract and it is not absorbed in any significant amount thus, the protein binding is not relevant.7

Metabolism

Pancrelipase acts locally in the GI tract and it is not absorbed in any significant amount thus, the metabolism is not relevant.7

Route of elimination

Pancrelipase is entirely eliminated in the feces.7

Half-life

Pancrelipase acts locally in the GI tract and it is not absorbed in any significant amount thus, the elimination half-life is not relevant.7

Clearance

Pancrelipase acts locally in the GI tract and it is not absorbed in any significant amount thus, the clearance rate is not relevant.7

Toxicity

The studies of the toxicology of pancrelipase are not needed as this drug has been used clinically for a long time.8对肺癌临床过量研究证明没有影响s, pancreas, liver and kidneys but it can produce symptoms such as diarrhea or stomach upset. Carcinogenicity studies have not shown any increased incidence with the use of pancrelipase. As pancrelipase is not absorbed, the effect on fetal development or reproduction is not expected.9
