Introduction
Quantitative evaluation of in vivo drug exposure (pharmacokinetics, PK) and effect (phar-
macodynamics, PD) is a fundamental step in preclinical development. Biopharmaceuticals
(peptides, therapeutic proteins, and monoclonal antibodies) present unique challenges in
defining drug exposure, including the requirement for highly sensitive, specific assays that
can identify and quantitate the biopharmaceutical swimming in a biological sea of similar
molecules. PK/PD and metabolism methods and tools are also needed to integrate and
unravel often complicated interactions between the biopharmaceutical and physiologic
processes.
In the past decade, research and development in PK/PD, metabolism, and bioanalytics for
biopharmaceuticals continued to be dominated by monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with more
limited development of new methods for therapeutic proteins and peptides (Brown and
Wobst, 2021; Martins et al., 2022; Walsh and Walsh, 2022). As a consequence, the contents
of this chapter will reflect the more extensive information generally available for mAbs.
Absorption, distribution and elimination of biopharmaceuticals
The observed behavior of biopharmaceuticals in vivo is a consequence of both nonspecific
protein processes and target-mediated processes. If the biopharmaceuticals are essentially
copies of endogenous molecules, they will traffic through existing nonspecific absorptio n,
distribution, and elimination processes. However, target-mediated processes are common
with biopharmaceuticals, and may dominate absorption, distribution, or elimination for
the molecu le. Biopharmaceuticals, such as endogenous proteins, are typically catabolized
to their amino acid constituents upon cellular uptake. Metabolism is therefore usually not
extensively studied during therapeutic protein development (see Sec tion “Metabolism”
and Biodistribution for Biopharmaceuticals).
5. Novel biopharmaceuticals: Pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and bioanalytics132
I. Development of biopharmaceuticals

Absorption
Proteins, in general, have poor oral bioavailability due to high proteolytic enzyme activity
and poor mucosal permeability in the gastrointestinal tract. Most biopharmaceuticals are
administered parenterally with intravenous (IV), subcutaneous (SC), or intramuscular (IM)
being the common routes used for administration. IV administration is often used with
less frequent dosing intervals (weekly to monthly) or when large dose volumes are required.
SC or IM administration may be preferred for frequent administration (daily to weekly) and
for home usage. Approved biopharmaceuticals also use ocular (Lucentis, Eylea) and pulmo-
nary administration (Exubera, DNase). Other routes (nasal, buccal, rectal, vaginal, trans-
dermal) have also been investigated, primarily for therapeutic proteins and peptides, but
these routes have produced generally poor bioavailability and high variability in exposure
(Meibohm and Braeckman, 2008). The success of mRNA-based vaccines in response to the
COVID-19 pandemic (Focosi et al., 2022) has spiked an interest in mRNA as a means of deliv-
ering biopharmaceuticals in general. However, application beyond vaccines is still in its in-
fancy and several hurdles need to be overcome for mRNA therapeutics to come to fruition
(Rohner et al., 2022).
Systemic absorption of proteins from injection sites occurs via direct diffusion into blood
capillaries and/or convective transport through the lymph system and then into the blood
(Meibohm and Braeckman, 2008; McDonald et al., 2010; Porter and Charman, 2001). Molecule
size and charge, as well as capillary pore size, influence the contribution of direct diffusion
versus lymph system transport. In general, molecules that are larger than w20 kDa or nega-
tively charged are preferentially transported via the lymph system in large animals (Super-
saxo et al., 1990; Wang et al., 2012). Uptake of biopharmaceuticals by the lymphatics in
small animals (rats, rabbits) is more variable and not consistently related to size or charge
(McDonald et al., 2010; Wang et al., 2012). The ultimate bioavailability of the protein depends
upon the rates and efficiency of the diffusion or lymph transport processes and the extent of
degradation and absorption either at the injection site or within the lymph system (presyste-
mic catabolism) (McDonald et al., 2010; Mrsny, 2009; Wang et al., 2008). Absolute bioavail-
ability is generally high for mAbs (w50% to 100%) but varies widely for therapeutic
proteins and peptides, reflecting more complicated injection site or lymph system interac-
tions. Therapeutic proteins and peptides such as vascular endothelial growth factor
(VEGF) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-b) can attract cells involved in tissue
remodeling and vessel formation, which can alter the protease/peptidase environment
(Mrsny, 2009). Therapeutic proteins and peptides can also bind to extracellular matrix com-
ponents (VEGF: heparin, heparin-like molecules; epidermal growth factor (EGF), basic fibro-
blast growth factor (bFGF), insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I): vitronectin) causing delayed
release from SC sites and increased risk of local metabolism (Mrsny, 2009). Systemic absorp-
tion is slow for mAbs with maximal plasma or serum concentrations (Cmax) achieved typi-
cally 1e8 days post dose (time of maximum observed concentrations, T
max
)(Lobo et al., 2004;
Wang et al., 2008). The rate of absorption is highly variable for therapeutic proteins and pep-
tides, depending somewhat on particular formulations, but generally occurs much more
rapidly than for mAbs, with T
max
values of typically minutes to hours post dose (Tang
et al., 2004; Foote, 2008; Ryff et al., 2008; Beals et al., 2008 ; Marian and Oeswein, 2008;
Modi, 2008; Lazarus and Wagener, 2008; Sam, 2008). The dose range achievable by SC

delivery was traditionally limited by the formulated protein concentration and an injection
volume between 1 and 2 mL. However, current technologies allow formulation of bio-
therapeutics as high-concentration injectables and considerable increase of injection volume
by coformulation with recombinant human hyaluronidase (Bookbinder et al., 2006; Locke
et al., 2019; Badkar et al., 2021). Examples of biotherapeutics for which high dose SC formu-
lations were successfully developed include rituximab (Davies et al., 2014), trastuzumab
(Ismael et al., 2012) and daratumumab (Mateos et al., 2020). SC dosing of proteins may pro-
vide an opportunity to reduce the risk of acute adverse reactions including cytokine release
syndrome and infusion related reactions. On the other hand, between-patient variability in
absorption rate and bioavailability may not favor extravascular routes for biotherapeutics
with narrow therapeutic index (Bittner et al., 2018).
Distribution and elimination: Nonspecific processes
mAbs, mAb fragments, and mAb constructs
Once in the bloodstream, mAbs extravasate from blood into interstitial fluids and tissues
(Lobo et al., 2004; Ternant and Paintaud, 2005; Wang et al., 2008; Tabrizi et al., 2009a). Diffu-
sion across vascular endothelium for large, charged molecules such as mAbs is minimal, and
convection is assumed to be the primary mechanism for transport from blood to interstitial
fluid. The rate of convective transport or “solvent drag” (Wang et al., 2008) is determined
by the rates of fluid flow from blood to tissue, the morphology of the capillary pores, and
the size, shape, and charge of the molecu le. Initial distribution of mAbs to highly perfused
tissues (spleen, liver, bone marrow) may be aided by the presence of vascular endothelium,
which is fenestrated and “leaky.” Model simulations suggested typical antibody concentra-
tions in tissues at equilibrium to be between 5% and 15% of plasma concentrations, with
some more extreme values (0.35% for brain to 67.5% for thyroid) (Shah and Betts, 2013).
Elimination of mAbs occurs via generic protein processes (fluid-phase endocytosis) or via
receptor-mediated endocytosis (RME) (Table 5.1)(Lobo et al., 2004; Tabrizi et al., 2006). Once
endocytosed, mAbs can traffic to lysosomes where they are catabolized to amino acids. These
amino acids are then recycled into new protein and peptide molecules (Meibohm and Braeck-
man, 2008). In the absence of significant renal or liver disease, there is little or no excretion of
intact peptides or protein in urine or bile.
Antibodies also have a unique mechanism to escape catabolism within endothelial cells.
Antibodies may escape catabolism if they bind a neonatal Fc (FcRn) receptor during early en-
dosome formation (Ward and Ober, 2009). Antibody: FcRn complexes are then returned to
the cell membrane, where the antibody dissociates and is released back into intracellular fluid
(recycling). The same FcRn-mediated process also moves antibodies within or across a wide
variety of cell types (transcytosis) (Ward and Ober, 2009). FcRn has been identified as the pri-
mary receptor controlling IgG homeostasis and is a major determinant in the sustained expo-
sure seen with mAbs. FcRn is ubiquitously expressed on vascular endoth elium and
hematopoietic cells. As a consequence, FcRn-me diated mAb elimination is a diffuse process
not localized to a specific target organ, and not saturable within the typical mAb therapeutic
dose range. Antibodies may also be cleared via interactions with the Fcg family of receptors,
but it is likely this pathway is more important for antibody complexes containing multiple

antibody molecules, than for monomeric antibodies (Ward and Ober, 2009; Alvares et al.,
2012).
The limited role of FcgR in normal clearance of mAbs is further supported by observations
that various antibodies with Fc doma ins engineered for reduced or enhanced FcgR binding
displayed unaltered PK compared with their isotype controls (Leabman et al., 2013). Phys-
ical/chemical factors that can influence nonspecific distribution and elimination of mAbs
include affinity for the Fc receptors, especially FcRn, Ig subclass, glycosylation, molecule
size and charge (Table 4.1). FcRn-me diated antibody recycling is pH dependent and mAbs
with tighter binding to FcRn at acidic pH (pH 6.0), while maintaining negligible binding at
neutral pH (pH 7.4), show slower clearance and better absorption (Wang et al., 2008;
Ward and Ober, 2009). Human IgG1 and IgG2 isotypes are more stable than IgG4 or IgG3
isotypes (Correia, 2010). IgG1 and IgG2 also have somewhat better binding to FcRn than
IgG3 or IgG4 and likewise show slower clearance (Correia, 2010). The impact of glycosylation
on antibody clearance is not clear and publications show conflicting results (Tao and Morri-
son, 1989; Harris, 2005). Molecules with an overall positive molecule charge, as measured by
pI, usually show slower systemic clearance than molecules with negative charges (Boswell
et al., 2010; Khawli et al., 2010; Igaw a et al., 2010). Impact of charge on both clearance and
bioavailability is somewhat less clear following extravascular administration, and may indi-
cate more complicated interactions with charged molecules at the injection sites.
Antibody fragments clear faster than full-length antibodies (Fig. 5.1, Table 5.2), but clear-
ance depends upon fragment size and whether the Fc portion of the antibody is retained
(Covell et al., 1986; Bazin-Redu reau et al., 1997; Kim et al., 1995). Fragments that have a
