Sulfation predominates the pharmacokinetics, metabolism, and excretion of forsythin in humans: major enzymes and transporters identified.

ABSTRACT: Forsythin extracted from Forsythiae Fructus is widely used to treat fever caused by the common cold or influenza in China, Japan and Korea. The present study aimed to analyze the pharmacokinetics, metabolism and excretion routes of forsythin in humans and determine the major enzymes and transporters involved in these processes. After a single oral administration, forsythin underwent extensive metabolism via hydrolysis and further sulfation. In total, 3 of the 13 metabolites were confirmed by comparison to reference substances, i.e., aglycone M1, M1 sulfate (M2), and M1 glucuronide (M7). Hydrolysis was the initial and main metabolic pathway of the parent compound, followed by extensive sulfation to form M2 and a reduced level of glucuronidation to form M7. In addition, the plasma exposure of M2 and M7 were 86- and 4.2-fold higher than that of forsythin. Within 48 h, ~75.1% of the administered dose was found in urine, with M2 accounting for 71.6%. Further phenotyping experiments revealed that sulfotransferase 1A1 and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A8 were the most active hepatic enzymes involved in the formation of M2 and M7, respectively. The in vitro kinetic study provided direct evidence that M1 showed a preference for sulfation. Sulfated conjugate M2 was identified as a specific substrate of organic anion transporter 3, which could facilitate the renal excretion of M2. Altogether, our study demonstrated that sulfation dominated the metabolism and pharmacokinetics of forsythin, while the sulfate conjugate was excreted mainly in the urine.

SLC17 transporters mediate renal excretion of Lac-Phe in mice and humans

Project description:N-lactoyl-phenylalanine (Lac-Phe) is a lactate-derived metabolite that suppresses food intake and body weight. Little is known about the mechanisms that mediate Lac-Phe transport across cell membranes. Here we identify SLC17A1 and SLC17A3, two kidney-restricted plasma membrane-localized solute carriers, as physiologic urine Lac-Phe transporters. In cell culture, SLC17A1/3 exhibit high Lac-Phe efflux activity. In humans, levels of Lac-Phe in urine exhibit a strong genetic association with the SLC17A1-4 locus. Urine Lac-Phe levels are also increased following a Wingate sprint test. In mice, genetic ablation of either SLC17A1 or SLC17A3 reduces urine Lac-Phe levels. Despite these differences, both knockout strains have normal blood Lac-Phe and body weights, demonstrating SLC17-dependent de-coupling of urine and plasma Lac-Phe pools. Together, these data establish SLC17A1/3 family members as the physiologic urine transporters for Lac-Phe and uncover a biochemical pathway for the renal excretion of this signaling metabolite. Our data do not exclude the involvement of other transporters in mediating Lac-Phe transport.

The influence of genetic polymorphisms in drug metabolism enzymes and transporters on the pharmacokinetics of different fluvastatin formulations.

Project description:The purpose of the present study was to investigate the impact of genetic polymorphism on fluvastatin pharmacokinetics. In addition, we compared the fluvastatin pharmacokinetics differences between extended-release (ER) 80?mg tablet and immediate-release (IR) 40?mg capsule in terms of drug metabolism enzyme and transporter genetic polymorphisms. In this open-label, randomized, two-period, two-treatment, crossover study (n?=?24), effects of ABCG2, SLCO1B1, ABCB1, CYP2C9 and CYP3A5 polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetics of fluvastatin were analyzed. The administration dosage for IR 40?mg and ER 80?mg were twice and once daily, respectively, for total 7 d. Blood samples for pharmacokinetic evaluation were taken on the 1st and 7th d. The lower exposure following ER was observed. For ER tablets, SLCO1B1 T521C genotype correlated with AUC0-24 of repeat doses (P?=?0.010). SLCO1B1 T521C genotype had no statistically significant effect on AUC0-24 of IR capsule of fluvastatin after single or repeated doses. In vitro study demonstrated that when the concentration of fluvastatin was low (< 1?µmol/l), the uptake of fluvastatin in the HEK293-OATP1B1 with SLCO1B1 521TT (Km =0.18?µmol/l) was faster than that with SLCO1B1 521CC (Km =0.49?µmol/l), On the other hand, when concentration reached to higher level (> 1?µmol/l), transport velocity of fluvastatin by HEK293-OATP1B1 with SLCO1B1 521TT (Km ?=?11.4?µmol/l) and with SLCO1B1 521TCC (Km =15.1?µmol/l) tend to be the same. It suggests that the increased effect of SLCO1B1 T521C genotype on ER formulation of fluvastatin was mainly caused by lower blood concentrations. We recommend that formulation should be incorporated into future pharmacogenomics studies.

Metabolism, Excretion, and Mass Balance of Solithromycin in Humans.

Project description:Solithromycin, a novel macrolide and the first fluoroketolide, is being developed as a therapy for community-acquired bacterial pneumonia, with a distinct mechanism that provides activity against macrolide-resistant bacteria. The pharmacokinetics, metabolism, and excretion of solithromycin were studied in healthy male subjects after oral administration of a single 800-mg (?100-?Ci) dose of [14C]solithromycin. Solithromycin was well tolerated, and absorption from the solution occurred with a median time to peak concentration of 4.0 h. Solithromycin and the total radioactivity had similar profiles with no long-lived metabolites. The whole-blood total radioactivity was approximately 75% of the plasma total radioactivity. Recovery was essentially complete (mean, 90.6%), with 76.5% and 14.1% of the dose recovered in feces and urine, respectively. Unchanged solithromycin (CEM-101) was the predominant circulating radioactive component in plasma (77% of the total radioactivity area under the concentration-time curve [AUC]), with two minor plasma metabolites, CEM-214 and CEM-122 (N-acetyl-CEM-101), each accounting for approximately 5% of the total radioactivity. Urinary excretion was predominantly like that of the parent. Solithromycin was primarily eliminated in the feces after extensive metabolism via a complex metabolic pathway with CEM-262 as the major constituent (27.36% of the administered dose). Overall oxidative pathways, presumably carried out mostly by CYP3A4, represented the majority of the metabolism, with N-acetylation present to a lesser extent. No disproportionate human metabolites were observed.

Pharmacokinetics, Tissue Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion of Naringin in Aged Rats.

Project description:Aging is an inevitable biological process characterized by the loss of functional capacity and associated with changes in all phases of pharmacokinetic processes. Naringin, a dietary flavanone glycoside, has been proved to be beneficial for the treatment of multiple age-associated chronic diseases. To date, the pharmacokinetic processes of naringin in aged individuals are still unknown. Thus, a rapid resolution liquid chromatography tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (RRLC-QQQ-MS/MS) method was established for the determination of naringin and its metabolite naringenin in rat plasma, urine, feces, and tissue homogenate. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated and a higher exposure of naringin and naringenin were observed in aged rats. Naringin and naringenin were mostly distributed in gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidney, lung, and trachea. Furthermore, a total of 39 flavonoid metabolites (mainly glucuronides and sulfates) and 46 microbial-derived phenolic catabolites were screened with ultra-fast liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UFLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS). Naringenin, hippuric acid, and 3-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid were predominated metabolites. This study systemically investigated the pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution, metabolism, and excretion of naringin in aged rats, revealing age- and gender-related changes in the in vivo behavior of naringin. These results would be helpful for the interpretation of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of naringin in aged population.

Cytochrome P450 Enzymes and Drug Metabolism in Humans.

Project description:Human cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, as membrane-bound hemoproteins, play important roles in the detoxification of drugs, cellular metabolism, and homeostasis. In humans, almost 80% of oxidative metabolism and approximately 50% of the overall elimination of common clinical drugs can be attributed to one or more of the various CYPs, from the CYP families 1-3. In addition to the basic metabolic effects for elimination, CYPs are also capable of affecting drug responses by influencing drug action, safety, bioavailability, and drug resistance through metabolism, in both metabolic organs and local sites of action. Structures of CYPs have recently provided new insights into both understanding the mechanisms of drug metabolism and exploiting CYPs as drug targets. Genetic polymorphisms and epigenetic changes in CYP genes and environmental factors may be responsible for interethnic and interindividual variations in the therapeutic efficacy of drugs. In this review, we summarize and highlight the structural knowledge about CYPs and the major CYPs in drug metabolism. Additionally, genetic and epigenetic factors, as well as several intrinsic and extrinsic factors that contribute to interindividual variation in drug response are also reviewed, to reveal the multifarious and important roles of CYP-mediated metabolism and elimination in drug therapy.

Polymorphism of Drug Transporters, Rather Than Metabolizing Enzymes, Conditions the Pharmacokinetics of Rasagiline.

Project description:Rasagiline is a selective and irreversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase type B with neuroprotective effect, indicated for the management of Parkinson's disease. The aim of this work was to evaluate the impact of seven CYP1A2 alleles and of 120 additional variants located in other CYP enzymes (e.g., CYP2C19), UGT enzymes (e.g., UGT1A1) or other enzymes (e.g., NAT2), and transporters (e.g., SLCO1B1) on the pharmacokinetic variability and safety of rasagiline. A total of 118 healthy volunteers enrolled in four bioequivalence clinical trials consented to participate in this pharmacogenetic study. CYP1A2 alleles were not associated with the pharmacokinetic variability of rasagiline. Patients with ABCB1 rs1045642 G/A+A/A genotypes presented higher area under the curve adjusted by dose per weight (AUC0-∞/DW) than those with the G/G genotype (p = 0.012) and lower volume of distribution (Vd/F) and clearance (Cl/F) (p = 0.001 and p = 0.012, respectively). Subjects with the ABCC2 rs2273697 A/A genotype presented lower tmax (i.e., the time to reach the maximum concentration, Cmax) compared to those with G/G+G/A genotypes (p = 0.001). Volunteers with the SLC22A1 *1/*5 genotype exhibited lower Cmax/DW and higher tmax (p = 0.003 and p = 0.018, respectively) than subjects with the *1/*1 diplotype. Only one adverse drug reaction was reported: headache. Our results suggest the genetic polymorphism of drug transporters, rather than metabolizing enzymes, conditions the pharmacokinetics of rasagiline.

Pharmacokinetics, absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of the MEK inhibitor zapnometinib in rats.

Project description:Zapnometinib is a MEK inhibitor currently under clinical development for the treatment of COVID-19 and influenza. Zapnometinib has both antiviral and immunomodulatory effects. Information concerning the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of the compound following single oral doses of 30 mg/kg [14C]-zapnometinib to rats was required to support pharmacology and toxicology studies in animals and clinical studies in man. As part of the development and safety assessment of this substance, zapnometinib was radioactively labeled and used for the investigation of time-dependent plasma concentrations, the rates and routes of excretion, the extent and time-course of compound distribution in body tissues, the metabolite profiles in plasma, urine and feces and the chemical nature of its metabolites. The present study reveals a rapid but low absorption of zapnometinib from the gastrointestinal tract, with more than 90% of the compound being excreted within 48 h, mainly via feces. Whole body autoradiography confirms that zapnometinib was rapidly and widely distributed, with greatest concentrations in the circulatory and visceral tissues. Maximum plasma and tissue concentrations occurred between two and 8 h post dose. Penetration into the brain was low, and elimination from most tissues almost complete after 168 h. Metabolic profiles showed that the main clearance routes were metabolism via oxidative reactions and glucuronidation. These results further strengthen the knowledge of zapnometinib with respect to the clinical development of the drug.

A Manganese-based Alternative to Gadolinium: Contrast-enhanced MR Angiography, Excretion, Pharmacokinetics, and Metabolism.

Project description:Purpose To compare intravascular contrast enhancement produced by the manganese-based magnetic resonance (MR) imaging contrast agent manganese-N-picolyl-N,N',N'-trans-1,2-cyclohexenediaminetriacetate (Mn-PyC3A) to gadopentetate dimeglumine (Gd-DTPA) and to evaluate the excretion, pharmacokinetics, and metabolism of Mn-PyC3A. Materials and Methods Contrast material-enhanced MR angiography was performed in baboons (Papio anubis; n = 4) by using Mn-PyC3A and Gd-DTPA. Dynamic imaging was performed for 60 minutes following Mn-PyC3A injection to monitor distribution and elimination. Serial blood sampling was performed to quantify manganese and gadolinium plasma clearance by using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and to characterize Mn-PyC3A metabolism by using high-performance liquid chromatography. Intravascular contrast enhancement in the abdominal aorta and brachiocephalic artery was quantified by measuring contrast-to-noise ratios (CNRs) versus muscle at 9 seconds following Mn-PyC3A or Gd-DTPA injection. Plasma pharmacokinetics were modeled with a biexponential function, and data were compared with a paired t test. Results Aorta versus muscle CNR (mean ± standard deviation) with Mn-PyC3A and Gd-DTPA was 476 ± 77 and 538 ± 120, respectively (P = .11). Brachiocephalic artery versus muscle CNR was 524 ± 55 versus 518 ± 140, respectively (P = .95). Mn-PyC3A was eliminated via renal and hepatobiliary excretion with similar pharmacokinetics to Gd-DTPA (area under the curve between 0 and 30 minutes, 20.2 ± 3.1 and 17.0 ± 2.4, respectively; P = .23). High-performance liquid chromatography revealed no evidence of Mn-PyC3A biotransformation. Conclusion Mn-PyC3A enables contrast-enhanced MR angiography with comparable contrast enhancement to gadolinium-based agents and may overcome concerns regarding gadolinium-associated toxicity and retention. © RSNA, 2017 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

Metabolism, excretion, and pharmacokinetics of oral brivanib in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

Project description:The goal of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, mass balance, metabolism, routes and extent of elimination, and safety of a single oral dose of (14)C-labeled brivanib alaninate and the safety and tolerability of brivanib after multiple doses in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. This was a two-part, single-center, open-label, single oral-dose (part A) followed by multiple-dose (part B) study in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. In part A, patients received a single dose of [(14)C]brivanib alaninate and in part B patients received 800 mg of nonradiolabeled brivanib alaninate every day. Four patients (two white, two black: two with non-small-cell lung cancer, one with ovarian cancer, and one with renal cell carcinoma) were treated in both parts. The median time to reach the maximal plasma concentration of brivanib was 1 h, geometric mean maximal plasma concentration was 6146 ng/ml, mean terminal half-life was 13.8 h, and geometric mean apparent oral clearance was 14.7 l/h. After a single oral dose of [(14)C]brivanib alaninate, 12.2 and 81.5% of administered radioactivity was recovered in urine and feces, respectively. Brivanib alaninate was completely converted to the active moiety, brivanib, and the predominant route of elimination was fecal. Renal excretion of unchanged brivanib was minimal. Brivanib was well tolerated; fatigue was the most frequent adverse event occurring in all patients and the most frequent treatment-related adverse event in three (75%). The best clinical response in one patient was stable disease; the other three had progressive disease. Brivanib alaninate was rapidly absorbed and extensively metabolized after a single 800-mg oral dose; the majority of drug-related radioactivity was excreted in feces.
