05.0 PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
05.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Biotin acts as a prosthetic group of carboxylation enzymes essential for lipid, carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism.
In human tissues and higher organisms, Biotin is a cofactor for the enzymatic carboxylation of four substrates: pyruvate carboxylase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, propionyl-CoA carboxylase and b-methyl-crotonyl-CoA carboxylase.
Biotin is involved in the synthesis of purine and pyrimidine structures and in the desamination of some amino acids, therefore it is essential for all developing cells, including many bacteria.
05.2 Pharmacokinetic properties
The absorption of Biotin occurs in the first third of the small intestine, mainly in the fasting; its deficiency can be induced very quickly in animals treated with antibacterial drugs that reduce intestinal bacterial flora. The elimination of biotin occurs preferentially via the urine as an unchanged molecule, but a small amount is excreted as bis-norbiotin and biotin sulfoxide.
05.3 Preclinical safety data
Biotin is well tolerated even at high doses and for prolonged treatment periods.
