Alvimopan competitively binds to mu-opioid receptor in the gastrointestinal tract. Unlike [[methylnaltrexone]] (another peripherally acting mu-receptor antagonist) that bears a quaternary amine, alvimopan owes its selectivity for peripheral receptors to its kinetics. Alvimopan binds to peripheral mu-receptors with a Ki of 0.2 ng/mL and dissociates slower than most other ligands.<ref name="label" /> |

Alvimopan is absolutely contraindicated in patients who have taken therapeutic doses of opioids for more than seven consecutive days immediately prior to when alvimopan would be initiated because individuals with recent exposure to opioids are expected to be more sensitive to the effects of μ-opioid receptor antagonists. The peripheral site of action of alvimopan suggests that such a heightened sensitivity would precipitate gastrointestinal effects beyond dyspepsia.<ref name="label" /> |
||
== |
== Interactions == |
||
⚫ | Alvimopan is not a substrate for the [[cytochrome P450]] enzyme system. Therefore, no interactions are expected with hepatically metabolized drugs. Alvimopan is substrate for [[P-glycoprotein]]. Thus, interactions are to be expected with known P-glycoprotein inhibitors such as [[amiodarone]], [[bepridil]], [[diltiazem]], [[ciclosporin]], [[itraconazole]], [[quinine]], [[quinidine]], [[spironolactone]], and [[verapamil]].<ref name="label" /> |
||
=== Myocardial infarction === |
|||
During clinical trials, a 12 month study of alvimopan dosed at 0.5 mg twice daily reported observed more myocardial infarction in the treatment group compared to placebo. The majority of these events occurred between months one and four of treatment. No causal relationship between alvimopan and myocardial infarction was ever established, and this effect has not been reproduced in subsequent studies. |
|||
== Pharmacology == |
|||
=== Severe hepatic impairment === |
|||
During clinical trials, one patient with severe hepatic impairment appreciated a 10-fold increase in Cmax compared to healthy volunteers. Two other patients with a similar Child-Pugh score (class C) did not experience this same phenomenon. |
|||

=== Mechanism of action === |
||
Alvimopan is a [[Competitive inhibition|competitive]] [[Receptor antagonist|antagonist]] of the [[Μ-opioid receptor|μ-opioid receptors]] (MOR) in the gastrointestinal tract, with a Ki of 0.2 ng/mL. Activation of these receptors by endogenous or exogenous [[agonist]]s reduces gastrointestinal motility, and alvimopan blocks this effect. Like most other peripherally-selective MOR antagonists, such as [[Naloxegol|naloxegel]] and [[methylnaltrexone]], alvimopan is selective for peripheral receptors because is effluxed by P-glycoprotein, which reduces its ability to cross the [[Blood–brain barrier|blood-brain barrier]] and affect the central nervous system.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Streicher JM, Bilsky EJ | title = Peripherally Acting μ-Opioid Receptor Antagonists for the Treatment of Opioid-Related Side Effects: Mechanism of Action and Clinical Implications | journal = Journal of Pharmacy Practice | volume = 31 | issue = 6 | pages = 658–669 | date = December 2018 | pmid = 28946783 | pmc = 6291905 | doi = 10.1177/0897190017732263 }}</ref><ref name="label" /> |

Alvimopan has not been studied in patients with end-stage renal disease. |

=== Pharmacokinetics === |
||
⚫ | |||
It is not recommended to use alvimopan in surgical candidates for correction of a complete bowel obstruction. |
|||
⚫ | Peak plasma concentration (C<sub>max</sub>) of alvimopan is reached approximately 2 hours after oral dosing, while the C<sub>max</sub> for metabolite occurs 36 hours after an oral dose. Alvimopan's high affinity for the peripheral μ-receptor results in an absolute bioavailability less than 7%.<ref name="label" /> |

Alvimopan is only approved for short term use of no more than 15 doses. It is available on an inpatient basis at institutions approved by and registered with the Entereg Access Support and Education (E.A.S.E.) program. A person should receive no more than 15 doses.<ref name="label" /> |
