Cilostazol may be a novel therapeutic agent for Alzheimer's disease. Its metabolite, OPC-13015, has a stronger inhibitory effect on type 3 phosphodiesterase than cilostazol.
We prospectively enrolled patients with mild cognitive impairment to whom cilostazol was newly prescribed. Patients underwent the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) twice, at a 6-month interval. Plasma cilostazol, OPC-13015, OPC-13213, and OPC-13217 concentrations were determined using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
MoCA score changes from baseline to the 6-month visit were positively correlated with ratios of OPC-13015 to cilostazol and total metabolites (= 19, = .005). Patients with higher ratios of OPC-13015 (≥0.18, median value; = 10) had significantly higher MoCA scores (= .036) than patients with lower ratios (the ratio <0.18, = 9). The absolute value of OPC-13015 concentration in blood was also higher in patients with preserved cognitive function (= .033).
Blood OPC-13015 levels may be a predictive biomarker of cilostazol treatment for Alzheimer's disease.
西洛他唑可能是一种用于治疗阿尔茨海默病的新型治疗药物。其代谢产物OPC - 13015对3型磷酸二酯酶的抑制作用比西洛他唑更强。
我们前瞻性地纳入了新开具西洛他唑处方的轻度认知障碍患者。患者在6个月的间隔内接受了两次蒙特利尔认知评估(MoCA)。使用液相色谱 - 串联质谱法测定血浆中西洛他唑、OPC - 13015、OPC - 13213和OPC - 13217的浓度。
从基线到6个月随访时MoCA评分的变化与OPC - 13015与西洛他唑及总代谢产物的比值呈正相关(= 19,= 0.005)。OPC - 13015比值较高(≥0.18,中位数;= 10)的患者的MoCA评分(= 0.036)显著高于比值较低(比值<0.18,= 9)的患者。认知功能保持正常的患者血液中OPC - 13015浓度的绝对值也更高(= 0.033)。
血液中OPC - 13015水平可能是西洛他唑治疗阿尔茨海默病的预测生物标志物。
