description Tacrolimus is a core component of immunosuppressive regimens. This study compared active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and dissolution kinetics of branded tacrolimus and formulations from three generic manufacturers (Mylan, Dr. Reddy's, Intas) including samples from patients who suffered acute cardiac allograft rejection. Generic samples showed similar API content compared to branded samples with no major impurities. Capsules that underwent uniformity testing had consistent capsule-to-capsule API. Dissolution testing showed similar profiles between branded tacrolimus and Mylan, but notable differences with Dr. Reddy's and Intas. The approximate maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) was highest in branded tacrolimus (29 minutes), followed by Mylan (26 minutes), Dr. Reddy's (19 minutes), and Intas (14 minutes) (Student-Newman-Keuls Multiple Comparisons Test; overall ANOVA: p = 0.0199, F = 6.469). This study suggests that the bioavailability of certain generic tacrolimus formulations peak significantly earlier than branded tacrolimus. Further study is needed to determine whether these differences are clinically relevant.
