Disodium sebacate is a 10-carbon-atom dicarboxylic acid, proposed as substrate for parenteral nutrition. We investigated its pharmacokinetic profile and thermogenic effect during a short-time infusion (5 h at 10 g/h) in 7 male volunteers. Sebacate in serum and urine was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. A single-compartment model with two linear elimination routes was fitted. Metabolic measurements (VO2, VCO2, respiratory quotient, metabolic rate) were continuously performed for 8 h (5 h during and 3 h after the infusion) by a canopy indirect calorimeter. The apparent volume of distribution of sebacate was 8.39 +/- 0.69 liters, and the plasma fractional removal rate constant was 0.0086 +/- 0.00077 min-1. The average half-life and plasma clearance were 80.6 min and 72 ml/min, respectively. The increase in metabolic rate, the decrease in respiratory quotient and the changes in ketone body, glucagon and insulin levels during the infusion were not significant. 24-hour catecholamine excretion was within normal limits.

Abstract

Disodium sebacate is a 10-carbon-atom dicarboxylic acid, proposed as substrate for parenteral nutrition. We investigated its pharmacokinetic profile and thermogenic effect during a short-time infusion (5 h at 10 g/h) in 7 male volunteers. Sebacate in serum and urine was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. A single-compartment model with two linear elimination routes was fitted. Metabolic measurements (VO2, VCO2, respiratory quotient, metabolic rate) were continuously performed for 8 h (5 h during and 3 h after the infusion) by a canopy indirect calorimeter. The apparent volume of distribution of sebacate was 8.39 +/- 0.69 liters, and the plasma fractional removal rate constant was 0.0086 +/- 0.00077 min-1. The average half-life and plasma clearance were 80.6 min and 72 ml/min, respectively. The increase in metabolic rate, the decrease in respiratory quotient and the changes in ketone body, glucagon and insulin levels during the infusion were not significant. 24-hour catecholamine excretion was within normal limits. Calories administered by sebacate seem to be available for utilization without relevant metabolic side effects.
