In vitro evaluation of the metabolic enzymes and drug interaction potential of triapine.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Purpose
To investigate the metabolic pathways of triapine in primary cultures of human hepatocytes and human hepatic subcellular fractions; to investigate interactions of triapine with tenofovir and emtricitabine; and to evaluate triapine as a perpetrator of drug interactions. The results will better inform future clinical studies of triapine, a radiation sensitizer currently being studied in a phase III study.Methods
Triapine was incubated with human hepatocytes and subcellular fractions in the presence of a number of inhibitors of drug metabolizing enzymes. Triapine depletion was monitored by LC-MS/MS. Tenofovir and emtricitabine were co-incubated with triapine in primary cultures of human hepatocytes. Triapine was incubated with a CYP probe cocktail and human liver microsomes, followed by LC-MS/MS monitoring of CYP specific metabolite formation.Results
Triapine was not metabolized by FMO, AO/XO, MAO-A/B, or NAT-1/2, but was metabolized by CYP450s. CYP1A2 accounted for most of the depletion of triapine. Tenofovir and emtricitabine did not alter triapine depletion. Triapine reduced CYP1A2 activity and increased CYP2C19 activity.Conclusion
CYP1A2 metabolism is the major metabolic pathway for triapine. Triapine may be evaluated in cancer patients in the setting of HIV with emtricitabine or tenofovir treatment. Confirmatory clinical trials may further define the in vivo triapine metabolic fate and quantify any drug-drug interactions.

Project description:Doravirine is a novel nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection. In vitro studies were conducted to assess the potential for drug interactions with doravirine via major drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters. Kinetic studies confirmed that cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) plays a major role in the metabolism of doravirine, with ∼20-fold-higher catalytic efficiency for CYP3A4 versus CYP3A5. Doravirine was not a substrate of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) and likely not a substrate of organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1) or OATP1B3. Doravirine was not a reversible inhibitor of major CYP enzymes (CYP1A2, -2B6, -2C8, -2C9, -2C19, -2D6, and -3A4) or of UGT1A1, nor was it a time-dependent inhibitor of CYP3A4. No induction of CYP1A2 or -2B6 was observed in cultured human hepatocytes; small increases in CYP3A4 mRNA (≤20%) were reported at doravirine concentrations of ≥10 μM but with no corresponding increase in enzyme activity. In vitro transport studies indicated a low potential for interactions with substrates of BCRP, P-glycoprotein, OATP1B1 and OATP1B3, the bile salt extrusion pump (BSEP), organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) and OAT3, organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2), and multidrug and toxin extrusion 1 (MATE1) and MATE2K proteins. In summary, these in vitro findings indicate that CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 mediate the metabolism of doravirine, although with different catalytic efficiencies. Clinical trials reported elsewhere confirm that doravirine is subject to drug-drug interactions (DDIs) via CYP3A inhibitors and inducers, but they support the notion that DDIs (either direction) are unlikely via other major drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters.

Project description:PurposeDrug-drug interaction (DDI) potentials of lusutrombopag, a thrombopoietin receptor agonist, on the activity of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A and of cyclosporine, which inhibits P-glycoprotein and breast cancer resistance protein, on lusutrombopag pharmacokinetics were assessed via clinical studies and physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling.MethodsThe effect of lusutrombopag on midazolam (a CYP3A probe substrate) pharmacokinetics was assessed in 15 healthy subjects receiving a single midazolam 5-mg dose with or without coadministration of lusutrombopag 0.75 mg for 6 days (first dose: 1.5-mg dose). The effect of cyclosporine on lusutrombopag pharmacokinetics was assessed in 16 healthy subjects receiving a single lusutrombopag 3-mg dose with or without a single cyclosporine 400- to 600-mg dose. PBPK modeling was employed to extrapolate the effect of lusutrombopag at the clinical dose (3 mg once daily) on midazolam pharmacokinetics.ResultsIn the clinical study, mean ratios (90% confidence intervals [CIs]) of with/without lusutrombopag for maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of midazolam were 1.01 (0.908-1.13) and 1.04 (0.967-1.11), respectively, indicating no effect of lusutrombopag on midazolam pharmacokinetics. PBPK modeling suggested no effect of lusutrombopag at the clinical dose on midazolam pharmacokinetics. Mean ratios (90% CIs) of with/without cyclosporine for lusutrombopag Cmax and AUC were 1.18 (1.11-1.24) and 1.19 (1.13-1.25), respectively, indicating a slight increase in lusutrombopag exposure.ConclusionsIn consideration with in vitro data, the in vivo and in silico results suggested no clinically significant DDI potential of lusutrombopag with other medical products via metabolic enzymes and transporters.

Project description:Fusidic acid (FA), which was approved in the 1960s in many European and Asian countries, has gained renewed interest due to its continued effectiveness against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus As rhabdomyolysis has been reported upon coadministration of FA with statins, we aimed to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms that contribute to FA-statin drug-drug interactions. Because of the association between rhabdomyolysis and increased exposure to statins, we investigated if cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes and transporters involved in the disposition of various statins are inhibited by FA. FA was found to inhibit BCRP and OATP1B1 but not P-gp. In overexpressing cell systems, FA inhibited BCRP-mediated efflux (50% inhibitory concentration [IC50], ?50 to 110 ?M) and OATP1B1-mediated uptake (IC50, ?4 to 35 ?M) of statins at clinically relevant concentrations achievable in the intestine and liver (based on a 550-mg oral dose of FA, the expected maximum theoretical gastrointestinal concentration is ?4 mM, and the maximum total or unbound concentration in the inlet to the liver was reported to be up to 223 ?M or 11 ?M, respectively, upon multiple dosing). Similarly, FA inhibited metabolism of statins in human liver microsomes (IC50, ?17 to 195 ?M). These data suggest that FA inhibits at least 3 major dispositional pathways (BCRP, OATP1B1, and CYP3A) and thus affects the clearance of several statins. We confirmed that FA is eliminated via phase 1 metabolism (primarily via CYP3A); however, there is also some phase 2 metabolism (mediated primarily by UGT1A1). Taken together, these data provide evidence for molecular mechanisms that may explain the occurrence of rhabdomyolysis when FA is administered with statins.

Project description:MT921 is a new injectable drug developed by Medytox Inc. to reduce submental fat. Cholic acid is the active pharmaceutical ingredient, a primary bile acid biosynthesized from cholesterol, endogenously produced by liver in humans and other mammals. Although individuals treated with MT921 could be administered with multiple medications, such as those for hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia, the pharmacokinetic drug-drug interaction (DDI) has not been investigated yet. Therefore, we studied in vitro against drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters. Moreover, we predicted the potential DDI between MT921 and drugs for chronic diseases using physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling and simulation. The magnitude of DDI was found to be negligible in in vitro inhibition and induction of cytochrome P450s and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases. Organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B3, organic anion transporter (OAT)3, Na+-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP), and apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT) are mainly involved in MT921 transport. Based on the result of in vitro experiments, the PBPK model of MT921 was developed and evaluated by clinical data. Furthermore, the PBPK model of amlodipine was developed and evaluated. PBPK DDI simulation results indicated that the pharmacokinetics of MT921 was not affected by the perpetrator drugs. In conclusion, MT921 could be administered without a DDI risk based on in vitro study and related in silico simulation. Further clinical studies are needed to validate this finding.

Project description:Dutasteride (DUT) is a selective, potent, competitive, and irreversible inhibitor of both type-1 and type-2 5?-reductase (5AR) commonly used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenetic alopecia. In the present study, we developed a simple and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FL) method for simultaneous determination of DUT and its major active metabolite, 6?-hydroxydutasteride (H-DUT). Next, the pharmacokinetic interactions of DUT with ketoconazole (KET), a potent CYP3A inhibitor, were comprehensively investigated. In vivo rat intravenous and oral studies revealed that the pharmacokinetics of DUT and H-DUT were significantly altered by the co-administration of KET. Furthermore, the in vitro microsomal metabolism, blood distribution, and protein-binding studies suggest that the altered pharmacokinetics of DUT could be attributed primarily to the inhibition of the DUT metabolism by KET. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to show the drug interaction potential of DUT with azole antifungal drugs including KET, together with a newly developed HPLC-FL method for the simultaneous quantification of DUT and H-DUT.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Darolutamide is a novel androgen receptor (AR) antagonist approved for the treatment of nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC). Accordingly, the drug-drug interaction (DDI) potential of darolutamide was investigated in both nonclinical and clinical studies. METHODS:In vitro studies were performed to determine the potential for darolutamide to be a substrate, inducer or inhibitor for cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms, other metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters. A phase I drug-interaction study in healthy volunteers evaluated the impact of co-administering rifampicin [CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inducer] and itraconazole [CYP3A4, P-gp and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) inhibitor] on the pharmacokinetics of darolutamide. Two further phase I studies assessed the impact of co-administering oral darolutamide on the pharmacokinetics of midazolam (sensitive CYP3A4 substrate) and dabigatran etexilate (P-gp substrate) and the impact on the pharmacokinetics of co-administered rosuvastatin [a substrate for BCRP, organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B1, OATP1B3 and organic anion transporter (OAT)3]. RESULTS:In vitro, darolutamide was predominantly metabolized via oxidative biotransformation catalyzed by CYP3A4 and was identified as a substrate for P-gp and BCRP. The enzymatic activity of nine CYP isoforms was not inhibited or slightly inhibited in vitro with darolutamide, and a rank order and mechanistic static assessment indicated that risk of clinically relevant DDIs via CYP inhibition is very low. In vitro, darolutamide exhibited no relevant induction of CYP1A2 or CYP2B6 activity. Inhibition of BCRP-, P-gp-, OAT3-, MATE1-, MATE2-K-, OATP1B1- and OATP1B3-mediated transport was observed in vitro. Phase I data showed that darolutamide exposure increased 1.75-fold with co-administered itraconazole and decreased by 72% with rifampicin. Co-administration of darolutamide with CYP3A4/P-gp substrates showed no effect or only minor effects. Rosuvastatin exposure increased 5.2-fold with darolutamide because of BCRP and probably also OATPB1/OATPB3 inhibition. CONCLUSIONS:Darolutamide has a low potential for clinically relevant DDIs with drugs that are substrates for CYP or P-gp; increased exposure of BCRP and probably OATP substrates was the main interaction of note.

Project description:Lemborexant is approved for treating insomnia and is under investigation for treating irregular sleep-wake rhythm disorder. Based on in vitro drug-drug interaction (DDI) characteristics, phase 1, open-label DDI studies were conducted to evaluate lemborexant's cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) and CYP2B6 interaction potential. Interactions between lemborexant 10 mg and strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors (itraconazole and fluconazole), a strong CYP3A inducer (rifampin), and CYP3A (midazolam) and CYP2B6 substrates (bupropion) were evaluated. Coadministration of lemborexant with itraconazole or fluconazole resulted in 1.4- to 1.6-fold and 3.7- to 4-fold increases in lemborexant maximum observed concentration (Cmax ) and area under the concentration-time curve from zero time extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-inf ), respectively. Coadministration of lemborexant with rifampin resulted in >90% decreases in lemborexant Cmax and AUC0-inf . Midazolam exposure was not affected. Coadministration of lemborexant with bupropion resulted in 49.9% and 45.5% decreases in S-bupropion Cmax and AUC0-inf , respectively.Comparison of estimated exposures for patients in phase 3 trials who were/were not receiving concomitant weak CYP3A inhibitors substantiated the DDI pharmacokinetic findings. Lemborexant was generally well tolerated in the phase 1 studies. In summary, lemborexant does not affect the pharmacokinetics of CYP3A substrates and has potential to induce CYP2B6. Consistent with in vitro findings, moderate and strong CYP3A inhibitors and inducers affected the pharmacokinetics of lemborexant; hence, patients taking lemborexant 5 or 10 mg should avoid coadministration with moderate and strong CYP3A inhibitors and inducers.

Project description:The toxicokinetics of β-amanitin, a toxic bicyclic octapeptide present abundantly in Amanitaceae mushrooms, was evaluated in mice after intravenous (iv) and oral administration. The area under plasma concentration curves (AUC) following iv injection increased in proportion to doses of 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 mg/kg. β-amanitin disappeared rapidly from plasma with a half-life of 18.3-33.6 min, and 52.3% of the iv dose was recovered as a parent form. After oral administration, the AUC again increased in proportion with doses of 2, 5, and 10 mg/kg. Absolute bioavailability was 7.3-9.4%, which resulted in 72.4% of fecal recovery from orally administered β-amanitin. Tissue-to-plasma AUC ratios of orally administered β-amanitin were the highest in the intestine and stomach. It also readily distributed to kidney > spleen > lung > liver ≈ heart. Distribution to intestines, kidneys, and the liver is in agreement with previously reported target organs after acute amatoxin poisoning. In addition, β-amanitin weakly or negligibly inhibited major cytochrome P450 and 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase activities in human liver microsomes and suppressed drug transport functions in mammalian cells that overexpress transporters, suggesting the remote drug interaction potentials caused by β-amanitin exposure.

Project description:Pemigatinib is a potent inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor receptor being developed for oncology indications. It is primarily metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4, and the ratio of estimated concentration over concentration required for 50% inhibition ratio for pemigatinib as an inhibitor of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), organic cation transporter-2 (OCT2), and multidrug and toxin extrusion protein-1 (MATE1) exceeds the cutoff values established in regulatory guidance. A Simcyp minimal physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) with advanced dissolution, absorption, and metabolism absorption model for pemigatinib was developed and validated using observed clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) data and itraconazole/rifampin drug-drug interaction (DDI) data. The model accurately predicted itraconazole DDI (approximate 90% area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve [AUC] and approximate 20% maximum plasma drug concentration [Cmax ] increase). The model underpredicted rifampin induction by 100% (approximate 6.7-fold decrease in AUC and approximate 2.6-fold decrease in Cmax in the DDI study), presumably reflecting non-CYP3A4 mechanisms being impacted. The verified PBPK model was then used to predict the effect of other CYP3A4 inhibitors/inducers on pemigatinib PK and pemigatinib as an inhibitor of P-gp or OCT2/MATE1 substrates. The worst-case scenario DDI simulation for pemigatinib as an inhibitor of P-gp or OCT2/MATE1 substrates showed only a modest DDI effect. The recommendation based on this simulation and clinical data is to reduce pemigatinib dose for coadministration with strong and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors. No dose adjustment is required for weak CYP3A4 inhibitors. The coadministration of strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers with pemigatinib should be avoided. PBPK modeling suggested no dose adjustment with P-gp or OCT2/MATE1 substrates.
