Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) have become public health problems due to high morbidity and mortality. Currently, drugs recommended for patients with AKI or CKD are extremely limited, and candidates based on a new mechanism need to be explored. 84-B10 is a novel 3-phenylglutaric acid derivative that can activate the mitochondrial protease, Lon protease 1 (LONP1), and may protect against cisplatin-induced AKI and unilateral ureteral obstruction- or 5/6 nephrectomy [5/6Nx]-induced CKD model. Preclinical studies have shown that 84-B10 has a good therapeutic effect, low toxicity, and is a good prospect for further development. In the present study, the UHPLC-MS/MS method was first validated then applied to the pharmacokinetic study and tissue distribution of 84-B10 in rats. Physicochemical properties of 84-B10 were then acquired in silico. Based on these physicochemical and integral physiological parameters, a physiological based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was developed using the PK-Sim platform. The fitting accuracy was estimated with the obtained experimental data. Subsequently, the validated model was employed to predict the pharmacokinetic profiles in healthy and chronic kidney injury patients to evaluate potential clinical outcomes. Cmax in CKD patients was about 3250 ng/mL after a single dose of 84-B10 (0.41 mg/kg), and Cmax,ss was 1360 ng/mL after multiple doses. This study may serve in clinical dosage setting in the future.
