Abstract
Sotorasib is a small molecule that irreversibly inhibits the Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) protein with a G12C amino acid substitution mutant protein. The impact of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 inhibition and induction on sotorasib pharmacokinetics (PKs) was evaluated in 2 separate studies in healthy volunteers (N = 14/study). The impact of CYP3A4 inhibition was interrogated utilizing repeat doses of 200 mg of itraconazole, a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, on 360 mg of sotorasib PKs. The impact of CYP3A4 induction was interrogated utilizing multiple doses of 600 mg of rifampin, a strong CYP3A4 inducer. Additionally, the impact of organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1/3 inhibition on 960 mg of sotorasib PKs was interrogated after a single dose of 600 mg of rifampin. CYP3A4 inhibition did not significantly impact sotorasib Cmax but did lead to a 26% increase in sotorasib AUCinf. CYP3A4 induction decreased sotorasib Cmax by 35% and AUCinf by 51%. OATP1B1/3 inhibition decreased sotorasib Cmax and AUCinf by 16% and 23%, respectively. These results support that sotorasib can be given together with strong CYP3A4 and OATP1B1/3 inhibitors but the co-administration of sotorasib and strong CYP3A4 inducers should be avoided.

[PMID: 38565924 PMCID: PMC10987638 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-57838-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Dandruff, a common scalp disorder characterized by flaking dead skin, is often treated with conventional topical products. However, limitations exist due to potential side effects and high costs. Therefore, searching for natural, cost-effective solutions for dandruff and hair loss is crucial. Rosemary herb and neem tree, both cultivated in Egypt, possess well-documented anti-inflammatory properties derived from their rich phenolic phytoconstituents. This study formulated a standardized combined extract of rosemary and neem (RN-E 2:1) into hair gel and leave-in tonic formats. This extract demonstrated superior efficacy against Malassezia furfur (a causative agent of dandruff) and Trichophyton rubrum (associated with scalp disorders) compared to the conventional antifungal agent, ketoconazole. The combined extract (RN-E 2:1) also exhibited potent anti-inflammatory activity. Additionally, the suppression of iNOS expression is considered concentration-dependent. Quality control verified formulation stability, and ex-vivo studies confirmed effective ingredient penetration into the epidermis, the primary site of fungal presence. Remarkably, both formulations outperformed the standard treatment, minoxidil in hair growth trials. These findings highlight the potential of natural extracts for scalp and hair health.

Abstract
Onychomycosis is the most prevalent nail disease and is frequently encountered in clinical practice. Despite having multiple therapeutic options, of which systemic antifungals are the most effective, treatment is not always mandatory in all patients. Especially when considering systemic treatment, the risk of adverse reactions may outweigh the potential benefits of treatment. In this case report, we present a clinical case of a 49-year-old male patient with a blank past medical history who experienced a severe drug eruption from terbinafine prescribed for mild onychomycosis that required discontinuation of terbinafine, additional evaluation, and treatment of this adverse reaction.

Abstract
Smallpox was eradicated in 1980 but remains a biothreat due to the potential release of variola virus into the general population. Brincidofovir, the second medicine approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to treat smallpox, is metabolized by oxidative and hydrolytic pathways. The oxidative pathway is initiated by cytochrome P450 4F2 (CYP4F2), an enzyme lacking clinical probes for drug interaction studies. The aim of this work was to assess the impact of reduced activity CYP4F2 variants (rs2108622, C/T and T/T) on brincidofovir pharmacokinetics as a surrogate for drug inhibition. Genotyping was performed on blood from healthy participants receiving oral (n = 261) and intravenous (IV, n = 49) brincidofovir across 6 phase 1 trials. Plasma concentrations were measured by validated liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry methods. After oral administration, subjects with the lowest activity CYP4F2 genotype (T/T) had up to 36% higher AUCinf and 29% higher Cmax while subjects with the moderate activity CYP4F2 genotype (C/T) had similar Cmax and AUCinf compared to those with the wild-type genotype. Little to no increase in brincidofovir exposure parameters was observed following IV administration. Based on the lack of significant increases in brincidofovir plasma concentrations in subjects with low activity CYP4F2, a clinically meaningful drug-drug interaction is not expected with CYP4F2 inhibitor and brincidofovir coadministration.

Abstract
Introduction The first-line treatment for Cushing's disease is transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary tumor resection. Ketoconazole has been used as a second-line drug despite limited data on its safety and efficacy for this purpose. The objective of this meta-analysis was to analyze hypercortisolism control in patients who used ketoconazole as a second-line treatment after transsphenoidal surgery, in addition to other clinical and laboratory criteria that could be related to therapeutic response. Methods We searched for articles that evaluated ketoconazole use in Cushing's disease after transsphenoidal surgery. The search strategies were applied to MEDLINE, EMBASE, and SciELO. Independent reviewers assessed study eligibility and quality and extracted data on hypercortisolism control and related variables such as therapeutic dose, time, and urinary cortisol levels. Results After applying the exclusion criteria, 10 articles (one prospective and nine retrospective studies, totaling 270 patients) were included for complete data analysis. We found no publication bias regarding reported biochemical control or no biochemical control (p = 0.06 and p = 0.42 respectively). Of 270 patients, biochemical control of hypercortisolism occurred in 151 (63%, 95% CI 50-74%) and no biochemical control occurred in 61 (20%, 95% CI 10-35%). According to the meta-regression, neither the final dose, treatment duration, nor initial serum cortisol levels were associated with biochemical control of hypercortisolism. Conclusion Ketoconazole can be considered a safe and efficacious option for Cushing's disease treatment after pituitary surgery.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a widespread and harmful disease closely linked to mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). Globally, severe drug-induced hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer are the primary causes of liver-related morbidity and mortality. A hallmark of DILI is ERS and changes in mitochondrial morphology and function, which increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a vicious cycle of mutually reinforcing stress responses. Several pathways are maladapted to maintain homeostasis during DILI. Here, we discuss the processes of liver injury caused by several types of drugs that induce hepatocyte stress, focusing primarily on DILI by ERS and mitochondrial stress. Importantly, both ERS and mitochondrial stress are mediated by the overproduction of ROS, destruction of Ca2+ homeostasis, and unfolded protein response (UPR). Additionally, we review new pathways and potential pharmacological targets for DILI to highlight new possibilities for DILI treatment and mitigation.

Abstract
Numerous drug-drug interaction (DDI) trials have to be conducted in healthy volunteers based on current regulatory guidelines. Because the worst-case scenario of strong cytochrome P450 (CYP) inhibitors has to be tested, the results and their validity have to be balanced with the risk to volunteer safety. The use of ketoconazole in clinical DDI studies has been discouraged by regulatory agencies due to an alleged risk of liver injury. In order to reduce the risk to healthy volunteers, we carried out a study with single-day exposure to each of 6 perpetrator azole fungistatic drugs. They were evaluated regarding their CYP3A inhibition using microdosed midazolam and a limited sampling strategy. Ratios of areas under the concentration-time curves ranged from 1.93 with isavuconazole to 8.42 with ketoconazole. The highest number of adverse events occurred with voriconazole, followed by ketoconazole; 2 dropouts occurred due to adverse events following itraconazole administration. Literature data on adverse events of azole fungistatic drugs in DDI trials are rare and inconclusive. Only in recent years with the newer drugs are they more precise and reliable. It can be concluded that the duration of preexposure of perpetrator drugs can be reduced to 1 hour before administration of the victim drug. This still can be sufficient to achieve the scientific objectives of the trial with the lowest possible risk.

Clin Pharmacol Drug Dev 2020; 9:1015-1024.

Abstract
Laquinimod, a neuroimmunomodulator, is extensively metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4, and modulations of CYP3A4 activity may lead to alterations in the pharmacokinetics and/or clinical effects of laquinimod. To determine the drug-drug interaction potential of laquinimod with CYP3A inhibitors and inducers, interaction assessments were conducted in healthy volunteers using single-dose administration of laquinimod before and after multiple dosing of CYP3A inhibitors (ketoconazole, fluconazole, and cimetidine) or a CYP3A4 inducer (rifampin). For ketoconazole, subjects (n = 14) received laquinimod 0.6 mg following 1 day of ketoconazole (400 mg daily) pretreatment, a single concomitant dose, and 28 additional days. For fluconazole, subjects (n = 14) received laquinimod 0.6 mg after a single fluconazole dose of 400 mg followed by 200-mg daily fluconazole administration for 20 additional days. For cimetidine, subjects (n = 14) received laquinimod 0.6 mg following 1 day of cimetidine (800 mg twice daily) pretreatment, a single concomitant dose, and 21 additional days. For rifampin, subjects (n = 14) received laquinimod 0.6 mg following 9 days of rifampin (600 mg daily) pretreatment, a single concomitant dose, and 12 additional days. Coadministration of laquinimod with CYP3A inhibitors, ketoconazole, fluconazole, and cimetidine increased laquinimod area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity by approximately 3.1-, 2.5-, and 1.1-fold, respectively. Coadministration of laquinimod with rifampin decreased laquinimod area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity by 5-fold. These results indicate that coadministration of laquinimod with moderate to strong inhibitors of CYP3A or strong inducers of CYP3A may give rise to significant pharmacokinetic drug interactions.
