Predicting intrinsic clearance for drugs and drug candidates metabolized by aldehyde oxidase.

ABSTRACT: Metabolism by aldehyde oxidase (AO) has been responsible for a number of drug failures in clinical trials. The main reason is the clearance values for drugs metabolized by AO are underestimated by allometric scaling from preclinical species. Furthermore, in vitro human data also underestimates clearance. We have developed the first in silico models to predict both in vitro and in vivo human intrinsic clearance for 8 drugs with just two chemical descriptors. These models explain a large amount of the variance in the data using two computational estimates of the electronic and steric features of the reaction. The in vivo computational models for human metabolism are better than in vitro preclinical animal testing at predicting human intrinsic clearance. Thus, it appears that AO is amenable to computational prediction of rates, which may be used to guide drug discovery, and predict pharmacokinetics for clinical trials.

Inhibition of human liver aldehyde oxidase: implications for potential drug-drug interactions.

Project description:During the course of our research efforts to understand the kinetics of human aldehyde oxidase as a xenobiotic-clearing enzyme, we investigated the effect of eight different inhibitors on the oxidation of the probe substrate phthalazine. Saturation kinetic parameters for phthalazine oxidation in human liver cytosol were found to be the following: K(m) = 8.0 ± 0.4 ?M and V(max) = 4.3 ± 0.1 nmol · min(-1) · mg protein(-1). Inhibitory potency of the inhibitors tested ranged from 0.1 to 5 ?M. Of the eight different inhibitor compounds tested, seven were observed to inhibit through a mixed mode and one through a strictly competitive mode. A ratio of the K(ii) and K(is) values was used to assess the relative competitiveness of each inhibitor. For the mixed inhibitors, the mode of inhibition varied from mostly uncompetitive to predominantly competitive (K(ii)/K(is) values ranging from 0.1 to 15). The implications for potential drug-drug interactions and inhibition mechanism are discussed. We found two inhibitors, clozapine and chlorpromazine, that have a moderate predicted risk of drug-drug interactions based on the K(i) value relative to the inhibitor concentration in human plasma, having a calculated [I]/K(i) value of 0.4 and 0.8, respectively.

Predicting topical drug clearance from the skin.

Project description:For topical drug products that target sites of action in the viable epidermal and/or upper dermal compartment of the skin, the local concentration profiles have proven difficult to quantify because drug clearance from the viable cutaneous tissue is not well characterised. Without such knowledge, of course, it is difficult-if not impossible-to predict a priori whether and over what time frame a topical formulation will permit an effective concentration of drug within the skin 'compartment' to be achieved. Here, we test the hypothesis that valuable information about drug disposition, and specifically its clearance, in this experimentally difficult-to-access compartment (at least, in vivo) can be derived from available systemic pharmacokinetic data for drugs administered via transdermal delivery systems. A multiple regression analysis was undertaken to determine the best-fit empirical correlation relating clearance from the skin to known or easily calculable drug properties. It was possible, in this way, to demonstrate a clear relationship between drug clearance from the skin and key physical chemical properties of the drug (molecular weight, log P and topological polar surface area). It was further demonstrated that values predicted by the model correlated well with those derived from in vitro skin experiments.

Impact of ignoring extraction ratio when predicting drug-drug interactions, fraction metabolized, and intestinal first-pass contribution.

Project description:Many mathematical models for in vitro to in vivo prediction of drug-drug interactions (DDIs) of orally administered victim drugs have been developed. However, to date, none of these models have been applicable to all intravenously administered victim drugs. We derived and conducted a sensitivity/error analysis of a modification to the existing multiple mode interaction prediction model such that it is applicable to all intravenously administered victim drugs. Using this model we showed that ignoring the hepatic extraction ratio (EH) (as low as 0.3) of intravenously administered victim drugs can result in 1) substantial underestimation of f(m, CYPi) (the fraction of hepatic clearance of the victim drug via a given enzymatic pathway) and 2) error in dissecting the contribution of intestinal and hepatic components of DDIs for orally administered drugs. Using this model we describe DDI boundaries (degree of inhibition or induction) at which ignoring the EH of commonly used victim drugs results in ?30% error in the predicted area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) ratio or contribution of intestinal interaction to a DDI (CYP3A probes only). For the most widely used victim drug midazolam, these boundaries for AUC ratio are net inhibition (I/K(i) or ?/k(deg)) ?1.3 or fold induction ?2.1; for intestinal contribution the boundaries are 0.37 and 1.5, respectively. To accurately predict the intravenous AUC ratio, intestinal contribution, or f(m, CYPi) 1) for all induction DDIs irrespective of EH of the victim drug and 2) for modest to potent inhibition DDIs even when the EH is moderate (?0.3), we propose that our model be used.

Predictiveness of the Human-CYP3A4-Transgenic Mouse Model (Cyp3aXAV) for Human Drug Exposure of CYP3A4-Metabolized Drugs.

Project description:The extrapolation of drug exposure between species remains a challenging step in drug development, contributing to the low success rate of drug approval. As a consequence, extrapolation of toxicology from animal models to humans to evaluate safe, first-in-human (FIH) doses requires high safety margins. We hypothesized that a human-CYP3A4-expressing transgenic (Cyp3aXAV) mouse is a more predictive model for human drug exposure of CYP3A4-metabolized small-molecule drugs. Population pharmacokinetic models based on wild-type (WT) and Cyp3aXAV mouse pharmacokinetic data of oral lorlatinib, brigatinib, ribociclib and fisogatinib were allometrically scaled and compared to human exposure. Extrapolation of the Cyp3aXAV mouse model closely predicted the observed human exposure for lorlatinib and brigatinib with a 1.1-fold and 1.0-fold difference, respectively, compared to a 2.1-fold and 1.9-fold deviation for WT-based extrapolations of lorlatinib and brigatinib, respectively. For ribociclib, the extrapolated WT mouse model gave better predictions with a 1.0-fold deviation compared to a 0.3-fold deviation for the extrapolated Cyp3aXAV mouse model. Due to the lack of a human population pharmacokinetic model for fisogatinib, only median maximum concentration ratios were calculated, resulting in ratios of 1.0 and 0.6 for WT and Cyp3aXAV mice extrapolations, respectively. The more accurate predictions of human exposure in preclinical research based on the Cyp3aXAV mouse model can ultimately result in FIH doses associated with improved safety and efficacy and in higher success rates in drug development.

Strategies for the Optimization of Natural Leads to Anticancer Drugs or Drug Candidates.

Project description:Natural products have made significant contribution to cancer chemotherapy over the past decades and remain an indispensable source of molecular and mechanistic diversity for anticancer drug discovery. More often than not, natural products may serve as leads for further drug development rather than as effective anticancer drugs by themselves. Generally, optimization of natural leads into anticancer drugs or drug candidates should not only address drug efficacy, but also improve absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) profiles and chemical accessibility associated with the natural leads. Optimization strategies involve direct chemical manipulation of functional groups, structure-activity relationship directed optimization and pharmacophore-oriented molecular design based on the natural templates. Both fundamental medicinal chemistry principles (e.g., bioisosterism) and state-of-the-art computer-aided drug design techniques (e.g., structure-based design) can be applied to facilitate optimization efforts. In this review, the strategies to optimize natural leads to anticancer drugs or drug candidates are illustrated with examples and described according to their purposes. Furthermore, successful case studies on lead optimization of bioactive compounds performed in the Natural Products Research Laboratories at UNC are highlighted.

The mammalian aldehyde oxidase gene family.

Project description:Aldehyde oxidases (EC 1.2.3.1) are a small group of structurally conserved cytosolic proteins represented in both the animal and plant kingdoms. In vertebrates, aldehyde oxidases constitute the small sub-family of molybdo-flavoenzymes, along with the evolutionarily and structurally related protein, xanthine oxidoreductase. These enzymes require a molybdo-pterin cofactor (molybdenum cofactor, MoCo) and flavin adenine dinucleotide for their catalytic activity. Aldehyde oxidases have broad substrate specificity and catalyse the hydroxylation of N-heterocycles and the oxidation of aldehydes to the corresponding acid. In humans, a single aldehyde oxidase gene ( AOX1 ) and two pseudogenes clustering on a short stretch of chromosome 2q are known. In other mammals, a variable number of structurally conserved aldehyde oxidase genes has been described. Four genes ( Aox1 , Aox3 , Aox4 and Aox3l1 ), coding for an equivalent number of catalytically active enzymes, are present in the mouse and rat genomes. Although human AOX1 and its homologous proteins are best known as drug metabolising enzymes, the physiological substrate(s) and function(s) are as yet unknown. The present paper provides an update of the available information on the evolutionary history, tissue- and cell-specific distribution and function of mammalian aldehyde oxidases.

Studies on the mechanism of aldehyde oxidase and xanthine oxidase.

Project description:DFT calculations support a concerted mechanism for xanthine oxidase and aldehyde oxidase hydride displacement from the sp(2) carbon of 6-substituted 4-quinazolinones. The variations in transition state structure show that C-O bond formation is nearly complete in the transition state and the transition state changes are anti-Hammond with the C-H and C-O bond lengths being more product-like for the faster reactions. The C-O bond length in the transition state is around 90% formed. However, the C-H bond is only about 80% broken. This leads to a very tetrahedral transition state with an O-C-N angle of 109 degrees. Thus, while the mechanism is concerted, the antibonding orbital of the C-H bond that is broken is not directly attacked by the nucleophile and instead hydride displacement occurs after almost complete tetrahedral transition state formation. In support of this the C=N bond is lengthened in the transition state indicating that attack on the electrophilic carbon occurs by addition to the C=N bond with negative charge increasing on the nitrogen. Differences in experimental reaction rates are accurately reproduced by these calculations and tend to support this mechanism.

Predicting novel drug candidates against Covid-19 using generative deep neural networks.

Project description:The novel Coronavirus outbreak has created a massive economic crisis, and many succumb to death, disturbing the lives of mankind all over the world. Currently, there are no viable treatment for this condition, drug development approaches are being pursued with vigor. The major treatment options are to repurpose existing drugs or to find new ones. Traditional methods for drug discovery take a longer time, so there is an urgent need to develop some alternative techniques that reduces search space for drug candidates. Towards this endeavor, we propose a novel drug discovery method that leverages on long short term memory (LSTM) model to generate novel molecules that are adept at binding with novel Coronavirus protease. Our study demonstrates that the proposed method is able to recreate novel molecules that correlate very much with the properties of trained molecules. Further, we fine-tune the model to generate novel drug-like molecules that are active towards a specific target. We consider 3CLPro, the main protease of novel Coronavirus, as a therapeutic target and demonstrated in silico screening to assess target structural binding affinities with docking simulations. We observed that 80% of generated molecules show docking free energy of less than -5.8 kcal/mol. The top generated drug candidate has the highest binding affinity with a docking score of -8.5 kcal/mol, which is very much lower when compared to approved existing commercial drugs including, Remdesivir. The low binding energy indicates that the generated molecules could be explored as potential drug candidates for Covid-19.

Systemic clearance and brain distribution of carbazole-based cyanine compounds as Alzheimer's disease drug candidates.

Project description:SLM and SLOH, two analogues of carbazole-based cyanine compounds, have been shown to inhibit β-amyloid peptide aggregation in vitro and in Alzheimer's disease model mice, which could be potentially developed into drugs for disease treatment. To pave the way for further pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics study, we set to investigate these compounds' systemic clearance pathways and their brain exposure. We found that they generally exhibited relatively low plasma clearance which comprised of hepatic clearance and biliary clearance. Phase I oxidative metabolites for SLM and for SLOH upon microsomes incubation were identified, and the metabolism by CYP3A4 were found to be the major (>70%) hepatic clearance pathway, while the efflux by P-gp and BCRP located in the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes led to high biliary clearance. The permeation of SLM and SLOH through the brain endothelium was affected by the efflux transporters (P-gp and BCRP) and influx transporter (OATP2B1). The unbound interstitial fluid to plasma ratio (K puu,brain) was 8.10 for SLOH and 11.0 for SLM, which favored brain entry and were several folds higher than that in wild-type mice. Taken together, these carbazole compounds displayed low plasma clearance and high brain permeability, which entitle further development.

A staged screening of registered drugs highlights remyelinating drug candidates for clinical trials.

Project description:There is no treatment for the myelin loss in multiple sclerosis, ultimately resulting in the axonal degeneration that leads to the progressive phase of the disease. We established a multi-tiered platform for the sequential screening of drugs that could be repurposed as remyelinating agents. We screened a library of 2,000 compounds (mainly Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved compounds and natural products) for cellular metabolic activity on mouse oligodendrocyte precursors (OPC), identifying 42 molecules with significant stimulating effects. We then characterized the effects of these compounds on OPC proliferation and differentiation in mouse glial cultures, and on myelination and remyelination in organotypic cultures. Three molecules, edaravone, 5-methyl-7-methoxyisoflavone and lovastatin, gave positive results in all screening tiers. We validated the results by retesting independent stocks of the compounds, analyzing their purity, and performing dose-response curves. To identify the chemical features that may be modified to enhance the compounds' activity, we tested chemical analogs and identified, for edaravone, the functional groups that may be essential for its activity. Among the selected remyelinating candidates, edaravone appears to be of strong interest, also considering that this drug has been approved as a neuroprotective agent for acute ischemic stroke and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in Japan.
