Effects of ketoconazole and rifampicin on the pharmacokinetics of GLS4, a novel anti-hepatitis B virus compound, in dogs.

ABSTRACT: AIM: To investigate the metabolism of GLS4, a heteroaryldihydropyrimidine compound with anti-hepatitis B virus activity, in dog and human liver microsomes in vitro and evaluate the effects of ketoconazole (a potent CYP3A inhibitor) or rifampicin (a potent CYP3A inducer) on GLS4 pharmacokinetics in dogs. METHODS: Dog and human liver microsomes and CYP3A4 were incubated with [(14)C]GLS4 for 15 min and then analyzed using a HPLC-dynamic online radio flow detection method. Two groups of beagle dogs were used for in vivo studies. Group A were orally administered a single dose of GLS4 (15 mg/kg) with or without ketoconazole pretreatment (100 mg/d for 8 consecutive days). Group B were orally administered a single dose of GLS4 (15 mg/kg) with or without rifampicin pretreatment (100 mg/d for 8 consecutive days). Plasma was sampled after GLS4 dosing. GLS4 concentrations were determined by HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry. RESULTS: The metabolic profile of [(14)C]GLS4 in human and dog liver microsomes and CYP3A4 was similar. The major metabolites were morpholine N-dealkylated GLS4 and morpholine N,N-di-dealkylated GLS4. Pretreatment with ketoconazole or rifampicin significantly affected the plasma concentrations of GLS4 in dogs: ketoconazole increased the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity and peak concentration of GLS4 by 4.4 and 3.3 folds, respectively, whereas rifampicin decreased these parameters by 88.5% and 83.2%, respectively. CONCLUSION: GLS4 is a sensitive substrate of CYP3A. CYP3A inhibitors or inducers cause considerable change of GLS4 plasma concentrations in dogs, which should be considered in clinical practice.

Effects of a rifampicin pre-treatment on linezolid pharmacokinetics.

Project description:Linezolid is an oxazolidinone antibiotic that effectively treats methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE). Since rifampicin induces other antibiotic effects, it is combined with linezolid in therapeutic regimes. However, linezolid blood concentrations are reduced by this combination, which increases the risk of the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. We herein demonstrated that the combination of linezolid with rifampicin inhibited its absorption and promoted its elimination, but not through microsomal enzymes. Our results indicate that the combination of linezolid with rifampicin reduces linezolid blood concentrations via metabolic enzymes.

Novel symmetrical phenylenediamines as potential anti-hepatitis C virus agents.

Project description:BackgroundDespite the great progress made in the last 10 years, alternative strategies might help improving definitive treatment options against hepatitis C virus infection.MethodsWith the aim of identifying novel inhibitors of the hepatitis C virus-1b replication targeting the viral NS3 helicase, the structures of previously reported symmetrical inhibitors of this enzyme were rationally modified, and according to docking-based studies, four novel scaffolds were selected for synthesis and evaluation in the hepatitis C virus-1b subgenomic replicon assay.ResultsAmong the newly designed compounds, one new structural family was found to inhibit the hepatitis C virus-1b replication in the micromolar range. This scaffold was chosen for further exploration and different novel analogues were synthesised and evaluated.ConclusionsDifferent new inhibitors of the hepatitis C virus genotype 1b replication were identified. Some of the new compounds show mild inhibition of the NS3 helicase enzyme.

Effects of Ketoconazole and Rifampicin on the Pharmacokinetics of Nintedanib in Healthy Subjects.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Nintedanib is a substrate for p-glycoprotein which can impact bioavailability. We investigated the effects of ketoconazole, a p-glycoprotein inhibitor, and rifampicin, a p-glycoprotein inducer, on the pharmacokinetics of nintedanib. METHODS:In the ketoconazole study, 34 healthy subjects received nintedanib 50 mg orally alone and 1 h after the last dose of ketoconazole given orally at a dose of 400 mg once daily for 3 days in 1 of 2 randomized sequences. In the rifampicin study, 26 subjects received nintedanib 150 mg orally alone and the morning after the last dose of rifampicin given orally at a dose of 600 mg once daily for 7 days. The primary objective was to determine the relative bioavailability of nintedanib administered following multiple doses of ketoconazole or rifampicin versus alone, based on AUC from time 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-∞) and maximum concentration (Cmax) calculated using an analysis of variance. Geometric mean ratios and 2-sided 90% CIs were calculated. RESULTS:Exposure to nintedanib increased when it was administered following ketoconazole versus alone (AUC0-∞: geometric mean ratio, 160.5% [90% CI, 148.2-173.7]; Cmax: geometric mean ratio, 179.6% [90% CI, 157.6-204.8]) and decreased when it was administered following rifampicin versus alone (AUC0-∞: geometric mean ratio, 50.1% [90% CI, 47.2-53.3]; Cmax: geometric mean ratio, 59.8% [90% CI, 53.8-66.4]). The time to reach Cmax (tmax) and half-life (t½) of nintedanib were unaffected by co-administration of ketoconazole or rifampicin. CONCLUSIONS:Exposure to nintedanib is increased by co-administration of ketoconazole and decreased by co-administration of rifampicin, likely due to effects on bioavailability of the absorbed fraction.

Development of a novel anti-hepatitis B virus agent via Sp1.

Project description:Nucleos(t)ide analog (NA) therapy has proven effective in treating chronic hepatitis B. However, NAs frequently result in viral relapse after the cessation of therapy. This is because NAs cannot fully eliminate the viral episomal covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) in the nucleus. In this study, we identified small molecular compounds that control host factors related to viral replication using in silico screening with simulated annealing based on bioinformatics for protein-ligand flexible docking. Twelve chemical compound candidates for alpha-glucosidase (AG) inhibitors were identified from a library of chemical compounds and used to treat fresh human hepatocytes infected with HBV. They were then monitored for their anti-viral effects. HBV replication was inhibited by one candidate (1-[3-(4-tert-butylcyclohexyl)oxy-2-hydroxypropyl]-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-ol) in a dose-dependent manner. This compound significantly reduced ccc DNA production, compared to Entecavir (p < 0.05), and had a lower anti-AG effect. Gene expression analysis and structural analysis of this compound showed that its inhibitive effect on HBV was via interaction with Sp1. The nuclear transcription factor Sp1 acts on multiple regions of HBV to suppress HBV replication. Identifying candidates that control nuclear transcription factors facilitate the development of novel therapies. Drugs with a mechanism different from NA are promising for the elimination of HBV.

A screen for novel hepatitis C virus RdRp inhibitor identifies a broad-spectrum antiviral compound.

Project description:Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a global pathogen and infects more than 185 million individuals worldwide. Although recent development of direct acting antivirals (DAA) has shown promise in HCV therapy, there is an urgent need for the development of more affordable treatment options. We initiated this study to identify novel inhibitors of HCV through screening of compounds from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) diversity dataset. Using cell-based assays, we identified NSC-320218 as a potent inhibitor against HCV with an EC50 of 2.5 μM and CC50 of 75 μM. The compound inhibited RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) activity of all six major HCV genotypes indicating a pan-genotypic effect. Limited structure-function analysis suggested that the entire molecule is necessary for the observed antiviral activity. However, the compound failed to inhibit HCV NS5B activity in vitro, suggesting that it may not be directly acting on the NS5B protein but could be interacting with a host protein. Importantly, the antiviral compound also inhibited dengue virus and hepatitis E virus replication in hepatocytes. Thus, our study has identified a broad-spectrum antiviral therapeutic agent against multiple viral infections.

Novel cell-based hepatitis C virus infection assay for quantitative high-throughput screening of anti-hepatitis C virus compounds.

Project description:Therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has advanced with the recent approval of direct-acting antivirals in combination with peginterferon and ribavirin. New antivirals with novel targets are still needed to further improve the treatment of hepatitis C. Previously reported screening methods for HCV inhibitors either are limited to a virus-specific function or apply a screening method at a single dose, which usually leads to high false-positive or -negative rates. We developed a quantitative high-throughput screening (qHTS) assay platform with a cell-based HCV infection system. This highly sensitive assay can be miniaturized to a 1,536-well format for screening of large chemical libraries. All candidates are screened over a 7-concentration dose range to give EC50s (compound concentrations at 50% efficacy) and dose-response curves. Using this assay format, we screened a library of pharmacologically active compounds (LOPAC). Based on the profile of dose-dependent curves of HCV inhibition and cytotoxicity, 22 compounds with adequate curves and EC50s of <10 μM were selected for validation. In two additional independent assays, 17 of them demonstrated specific inhibition of HCV infection. Ten potential candidates with efficacies of >70% and CC50s (compound concentrations at 50% cytotoxicity) of <30 μM from these validated hits were characterized for their target stages in the HCV replication cycle. In this screen, we identified both known and novel hits with diverse structural and functional features targeting various stages of the HCV replication cycle. The pilot screen demonstrates that this assay system is highly robust and effective in identifying novel HCV inhibitors and that it can be readily applied to large-scale screening of small-molecule libraries.

Polymorphic Characterization, Pharmacokinetics, and Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Ginsenoside Compound K Polymorphs.

Project description:Polymorphism exhibits different physicochemical properties, which can impact the bioavailability and bioactivity of solid drugs. This study focused on identifying the polymorphs of ginsenoside compound K (CK) and studying their different behaviors in pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD). Four CK polymorphs (form I, II, III, and IV) from organic solvents were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). A feasible LC-MS/MS method was exploited to determine the PK parameters. Form II displayed the most exposure, followed by form I, III, and IV. Notably, all forms showed sex dimorphism, and the bioavailability in the female group was about two-fold higher than in the male group. The PD properties were investigated in carrageenan-induced acute paw inflammation, and form II at 20 mg/kg showed significant inhibition of edema by 42.7%. This study clarified the polymorphic, PK, and PD characters of four crystal forms of CK, and the data suggested that form II had the best efficacy for drug development.

Butein is a novel anti-adipogenic compound.

Project description:Rhus verniciflua Stokes (RVS) has been used as a traditional herbal medicine for its various biological activities including anti-adipogenic effects. Activity-guided separation led to the identification of the anti-adipogenic functions of butein. Butein, a novel anti-adipogenic compound, robustly suppressed lipid accumulation and inhibited expression of adipogenic markers. Molecular studies showed that activated transforming growth factor-? (TGF-?) and suppressed signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathways were mediated by butein. Analysis of the temporal expression profiles suggests that TGF-? signaling precedes the STAT3 in the butein-mediated anti-adipogenic cascade. Small interfering RNA-mediated silencing of STAT3 or SMAD2/3 blunted the inhibitory effects of butein on adipogenesis indicating that an interaction between two signaling pathways is required for the action of butein. Upon butein treatments, stimulation of TGF-? signaling was still preserved in STAT3 silenced cells, whereas regulation of STAT3 signaling by butein was significantly impaired in SMAD2/3 silenced cells, further showing that TGF-? acts upstream of STAT3 in the butein-mediated anti-adipogenesis. Taken together, the present study shows that butein, a novel anti-adipogenic compound from RVS, inhibits adipocyte differentiation through the TGF-? pathway followed by STAT3 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ? signaling, further implicating potential roles of butein in TGF-?- and STAT3-dysregulated diseases.

Isothiafludine, a novel non-nucleoside compound, inhibits hepatitis B virus replication through blocking pregenomic RNA encapsidation.

Project description:To investigate the action of isothiafludine (NZ-4), a derivative of bis-heterocycle tandem pairs from the natural product leucamide A, on the replication cycle of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in vitro and in vivo.HBV replication cycle was monitored in HepG2.2.15 cells using qPCR, qRT-PCR, and Southern and Northern blotting. HBV protein expression and capsid assembly were detected using Western blotting and native agarose gel electrophoresis analysis. The interaction of pregenomic RNA (pgRNA) and the core protein was investigated by RNA immunoprecipitation. To evaluate the anti-HBV effect of NZ-4 in vivo, DHBV-infected ducks were orally administered NZ-4 (25, 50 or 100 mg·kg?¹·d?¹) for 15 d.NZ-4 suppressed intracellular HBV replication in HepG2.2.15 cells with an IC?? value of 1.33 ?mol/L, whereas the compound inhibited the cell viability with an IC?? value of 50.4 ?mol/L. Furthermore, NZ-4 was active against the replication of various drug-resistant HBV mutants, including 3TC/ETV-dual-resistant and ADV-resistant HBV mutants. NZ-4 (5, 10, 20 ?mol/L) concentration-dependently reduced the encapsidated HBV pgRNA, resulting in the assembly of replication-deficient capsids in HepG2.2.15 cells. Oral administration of NZ-4 dose-dependently inhibited DHBV DNA replication in the DHBV-infected ducks.NZ-4 inhibits HBV replication by interfering with the interaction between pgRNA and HBcAg in the capsid assembly process, thus increasing the replication-deficient HBV capsids. Such mechanism of action might provide a new therapeutic strategy to combat HBV infection.
