Investigation of the drug-drug interaction and incompatibility mechanism between Aconitum carmichaelii Debx and Pinellia ternata (Thunb.) Breit. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 330:118212. [PMID: 38636577 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.118212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The combination of Aconitum carmichaelii Debx (Chuanwu, CW) and Pinellia ternata (Thunb.) Breit (Banxia, BX) forms an herbal pair within the eighteen incompatible medicaments (EIM), indicating that BX and CW are incompatible. However, the scientific understanding of this incompatibility mechanism, especially the corresponding drug-drug interaction (DDI), remains complex and unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aims to explain the DDI and potential incompatibility mechanism between CW and BX based on pharmacokinetics and cocktail approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry methods were established for pharmacokinetics and cocktail studies. To explore the DDI between BX and CW, in the pharmacokinetics study, 10 compounds were determined in rat plasma after administering CW and BX-CW herbal pair extracts. In the cocktail assay, the pharmacokinetic parameters of five probe substrates were utilized to assess the influence of BX on cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzyme (dapsone for CYP3A4, phenacetin for CYP1A2, dextromethorphan for CYP2D6, tolbutamide for CYP2C9, and omeprazole for CYP2C19). Finally, the DDI and incompatibility mechanism of CW and BX were integrated to explain the rationality of EIM theory. RESULTS BX not only enhances the absorption of aconitine and benzoylaconine but also accelerates the metabolism of mesaconitine, benzoylmesaconine, songorine, and fuziline. Moreover, BX affects the activity of CYP enzymes, which regulate the metabolism of toxic compounds. CONCLUSIONS BX altered the activity of CYP enzymes, consequently affecting the metabolism of toxic compounds from CW. This incompatibility mechanism may be related to the increased absorption of these toxic compounds in vivo.

Eur J Clin Pharmacol 2024; 80:1069-1078. [PMID: 38546841 PMCID: PMC11156719 DOI: 10.1007/s00228-024-03673-x] [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: 12/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Adefovir (as dipivoxil) was selected as a probe drug in a previous transporter cocktail phenotyping study to assess renal organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1), with renal clearance (CLR) as the primary parameter describing renal elimination. An approximately 20% higher systemic exposure of adefovir was observed when combined with other cocktail components (metformin, sitagliptin, pitavastatin, and digoxin) compared to sole administration. The present evaluation applied a population pharmacokinetic (popPK) modeling approach to describe adefovir pharmacokinetics as a cocktail component in more detail. METHODS Data from 24 healthy subjects were reanalyzed. After establishing a base model, covariate effects, including the impact of co-administered drugs, were assessed using forward inclusion then backward elimination. RESULTS A one-compartment model with first-order absorption (including lag time) and a combination of nonlinear renal and linear nonrenal elimination best described the data. A significantly higher apparent bioavailability (73.6% vs. 59.0%) and a lower apparent absorption rate constant (2.29 h-1 vs. 5.18 h-1) were identified in the combined period compared to the sole administration period, while no difference was seen in renal elimination. The population estimate for the Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) of the nonlinear renal elimination was 170 nmol/L, exceeding the observed range of adefovir plasma maximum concentration, while the maximum rate (Vmax) of nonlinear renal elimination was 2.40 µmol/h at the median absolute estimated glomerular filtration rate of 105 mL/min. CONCLUSION The popPK modeling approach indicated that the co-administration primarily affected the apparent absorption and/or prodrug conversion of adefovir dipivoxil, resulting in the minor drug-drug interaction observed for adefovir as a victim. However, renal elimination remained unaffected. The high Km value suggests that assessing renal OAT1 activity by CLR has no relevant misspecification error with the cocktail doses used.

Clin Pharmacol Drug Dev 2024; 13:197-207.

Abstract
Evaluating Drug-Drug Interactions (DDIs) for new investigational compounds requires several trials evaluating different drugs with different transporter specificities. By using a cocktail of drugs with different transporter specificities, a single trial could evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PKs) of each cocktail drug simultaneously, reducing the number of clinical DDI trials required for clinical development. We aimed to investigate the effect of steady-state Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) 730357 (bevurogant) on the PKs of a validated and optimized 4-component transporter cocktail. This open-label, non-randomized, 2-period fixed-sequence phase I trial compared transporter cocktail (0.25 mg digoxin/1 mg furosemide/10 mg metformin hydrochloride/10 mg rosuvastatin) with and without BI 730357 in healthy subjects aged 18-55 years with body mass index 18.5-29.9 kg/m2 . During reference treatment/period 1, transporter cocktail was administered 90 minutes after breakfast. After a washout period, during test treatment/period 2, BI 730357 was dosed twice daily for 13 days, with transporter cocktail administered on day 1. The primary endpoints were the area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-∞ ) and the maximum measured concentration of the analyte in plasma (Cmax ), and the secondary endpoint was the area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the last quantifiable data point (AUC0-tz ). Steady-state BI 730357 increased digoxin (+48% to +94%), minimally affected metformin (-2% to -9%), furosemide (+12% to +18%), and rosuvastatin (+19% to +39%) exposure. Therefore, no clinically relevant inhibition of transporters OCT2/MATE-1/MATE-2K, OAT1/OAT3, OATP1B1/OATP1B3 was observed. Potential inhibition of breast cancer resistance protein noted as PK parameters of coproporphyrin I/III (OATP1B1/OATP1B3 biomarkers) remained within bioequivalence boundaries while rosuvastatin PK parameters (AUC0-∞ /Cmax /AUC0-tz ) exceeded the bioequivalence boundary. BI 730357 was safe and well tolerated. This trial confirms the usefulness and tolerability of the transporter cocktail consisting of digoxin, furosemide, metformin, and rosuvastatin in assessing drug-transporter interactions in vivo.

Abstract
Pharmacogenomics (PGx) enables personalized treatment for the prediction of drug response and to avoid adverse drug reactions. Currently, PGx mainly relies on the genetic information of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) targets such as drug-metabolizing enzymes or transporters to predict differences in the patient's phenotype. However, there is evidence that the phenotype-genotype concordance is limited. Thus, we discuss different phenotyping strategies using exogenous xenobiotics (e.g., drug cocktails) or endogenous compounds for phenotype prediction. In particular, minimally invasive approaches focusing on liquid biopsies offer great potential to preemptively determine metabolic and transport capacities. Early studies indicate that ADME phenotyping using exosomes released from the liver is reliable. In addition, pharmacometric modeling and artificial intelligence improve phenotype prediction. However, further prospective studies are needed to demonstrate the clinical utility of individualized treatment based on phenotyping strategies, not only relying on genetics. The present review summarizes current knowledge and limitations.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cocktails of transporter probe drugs are used in vivo to assess transporter activity and respective drug-drug interactions. An inhibitory effect of components on transporter activities should be ruled out. Here, for a clinically tested cocktail consisting of adefovir, digoxin, metformin, sitagliptin, and pitavastatin, inhibition of major transporters by individual probe substrates was investigated in vitro. METHODS Transporter transfected HEK293 cells were used in all evaluations. Cell-based assays were applied for uptake by human organic cation transporters 1/2 (hOCT1/2), organic anion transporters 1/3 (hOAT1/3), multidrug and toxin extrusion proteins 1/2K (hMATE1/2K), and organic anion transporter polypeptide 1B1 (hOATP1B1). For P-glycoprotein (hMDR1) a cell-based efflux assay was used whereas an inside-out vesicle-based assay was used for the bile salt export pump (hBSEP). All assays used standard substrates and established inhibitors (as positive controls). Inhibition experiments using clinically achievable concentrations of potential perpetrators at the relevant transporter expression site were carried out initially. If there was a significant effect, the inhibition potency (Ki) was studied in detail. RESULTS In the inhibition tests, only sitagliptin had an effect and reduced hOCT1- and hOCT2- mediated metformin uptake and hMATE2K mediated MPP+ uptake by more than 70%, 80%, and 30%, respectively. The ratios of unbound Cmax (observed clinically) to Ki of sitagliptin were low with 0.009, 0.03, and 0.001 for hOCT1, hOCT2, and hMATE2K, respectively. CONCLUSION The inhibition of hOCT2 in vitro by sitagliptin is in agreement with the borderline inhibition of renal metformin elimination observed clinically, supporting a dose reduction of sitagliptin in the cocktail.

Phenotyping Indices of CYP450 and P-Glycoprotein in Human Volunteers and in Patients Treated with Painkillers or Psychotropic Drugs. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15030979. [PMID: 36986840 PMCID: PMC10054647 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15030979] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 03/02/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Drug-metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters are key determinants of drug pharmacokinetics and response. The cocktail-based cytochrome P450 (CYP) and drug transporter phenotyping approach consists in the administration of multiple CYP or transporter-specific probe drugs to determine their activities simultaneously. Several drug cocktails have been developed over the past two decades in order to assess CYP450 activity in human subjects. However, phenotyping indices were mostly established for healthy volunteers. In this study, we first performed a literature review of 27 clinical pharmacokinetic studies using drug phenotypic cocktails in order to determine 95%,95% tolerance intervals of phenotyping indices in healthy volunteers. Then, we applied these phenotypic indices to 46 phenotypic assessments processed in patients having therapeutic issues when treated with painkillers or psychotropic drugs. Patients were given the complete phenotypic cocktail in order to explore the phenotypic activity of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A, and P-glycoprotein (P-gp). P-gp activity was evaluated by determining AUC0-6h for plasma concentrations over time of fexofenadine, a well-known substrate of P-gp. CYP metabolic activities were assessed by measuring the CYP-specific metabolite/parent drug probe plasma concentrations, yielding single-point metabolic ratios at 2 h, 3 h, and 6 h or AUC0-6h ratio after oral administration of the cocktail. The amplitude of phenotyping indices observed in our patients was much wider than those observed in the literature for healthy volunteers. Our study helps define the range of phenotyping indices with "normal" activities in human volunteers and allows classification of patients for further clinical studies regarding CYP and P-gp activities.

Abstract
The use of hepatocytes to predict human hepatic metabolic clearance is the gold standard approach. However whilst enzymes are well characterised, knowledge gaps remain for transporters. Furthermore, methods to study specific transporter involvement are often complicated by overlapping substrate specificity. Selective substrates and inhibitors would aid investigations into clinically relevant pharmacokinetic effects. However, to date no consensus has been reached.This work defines selective hepatic uptake transporter substrates and inhibitors for the six main human hepatocyte transporters (OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OATP2B1, NTCP, OAT2 & OCT1), and demonstrates their use to rapidly characterise batches of human hepatocytes for uptake transporter activity. Hepatic uptake was determined across a range of substrate concentrations, allowing the definition of kinetic parameters and hence active and passive components. Systematic investigations identified a specific substrate and inhibitor for each transporter, with no overlap between the specificity of substrate and inhibitor for any given transporter.Early characterisation of compound interactions with uptake transporters will aid in early risk assessment and chemistry design. Hence, this work further highlights the feasibility of a refined methodology for rapid compound characterisation for the application of static and dynamic models, for early clinical risk assessment and guidance for the clinical development plan.

Abstract
The objective of this review article is to summarize literature data pertinent to potential excipient effects on intestinal drug permeability and transit. Despite the use of excipients in drug products for decades, considerable research efforts have been directed towards evaluating their potential effects on drug bioavailability. Potential excipient concerns stem from drug formulation changes (e.g., scale-up and post-approval changes, development of a new generic product). Regulatory agencies have established in vivo bioequivalence standards and, as a result, may waive the in vivo requirement, known as a biowaiver, for some oral products. Biowaiver acceptance criteria are based on the in vitro characterization of the drug substance and drug product using the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS). Various regulatory guidance documents have been issued regarding BCS-based biowaivers, such that the current FDA guidance is more restrictive than prior guidance, specifically about excipient risk. In particular, sugar alcohols have been identified as potential absorption-modifying excipients. These biowaivers and excipient risks are discussed here. Graphical Abstract ![]()

Abstract
Digoxin (DIG) is a positive inotropic drug with a narrow therapeutic window that is used in the clinic for heart failure. The active efflux transporter of DIG, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), mediates DIG absorption and excretion in rats and humans. Up to date, several studies have shown that the ginger and Poria extracts in Zhenwu Tang (ZWT) affect P-gp transport activity. This study aimed to explore the effects of ZWT on the tissue distribution and pharmacokinetics of DIG in rats. The deionized water or ZWT (18.75 g/kg) was orally administered to male Sprague–Dawley rats once a day for 14 days as a pretreatment. On day 15, 1 hour after receiving deionized water or ZWT, the rats were given the solution of DIG at 0.045 mg/kg dose, and the collection of blood samples was carried out from the fundus vein or excised tissues at various time points. HPLC-MS/MS was used for the determination of the DIG concentrations in the plasma and the tissues under investigation. The pharmacokinetic interactions between DIG and ZWT after oral coadministration in rats revealed significant reductions in DIG Cmax and AUC0-∞, as well as significant increases in T1/2 and MRT0-∞. When coadministered with ZWT, the DIG concentration in four of the investigated tissues statistically decreased at different time points except for the stomach. This study found that combining DIG with ZWT reduced not only DIG plasma exposure but also DIG accumulation in tissues (heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys). The findings of our study could help to improve the drug's validity and safety in clinical applications and provide a pharmacological basis for the combined use of DIG and ZWT.

Abstract
Sitagliptin is an antihyperglycemic drug used in adults for the treatment of diabetes Type 2. Literature data and in-house experiments were applied in this monograph to assess whether methods based on the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) could be used to assess the bioequivalence of solid immediate-release (IR) oral dosage forms containing sitagliptin phosphate monohydrate, as an alternative to a pharmacokinetic study in human volunteers. The solubility and permeability characteristics of sitagliptin were reviewed according to the BCS, along with dissolution, therapeutic index, therapeutic applications, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamic characteristics, reports of bioequivalence (BE) / bioavailability problems, data on interactions between the drug and excipients and other data germane to the subject. All data reviewed in this monograph unambiguously support classification of sitagliptin as a BCS Class 1 drug. In light of its broad therapeutic index and lack of severe adverse effects, the clinical risks associated with moderately supraoptimal doses were deemed inconsequential, as were the risks associated with moderately suboptimal doses. Taking all evidence into consideration, it was concluded that the BCS-based biowaiver can be implemented for solid IR oral drug products containing sitagliptin phosphate monohydrate, provided (a) the test product is formulated solely with excipients commonly present in solid IR oral drug products approved in ICH or associated countries and used in amounts commonly applied in this type of product, (b) data in support of the BCS-based biowaiver are obtained using the methods recommended by the WHO, FDA, EMA or ICH and (c) the test product and the comparator product (which is the innovator product in this case) meet all in vitro dissolution specifications provided in the WHO, FDA, EMA or ICH guidance.

Abstract
Background and Objective A novel cocktail containing four substrates of key drug transporters was previously optimized to eliminate mutual drug–drug interactions between the probes digoxin (P-glycoprotein substrate), furosemide (organic anion transporter 1/3), metformin (organic cation transporter 2, multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 1/2-K), and rosuvastatin (organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1/3, breast cancer resistance protein). This clinical trial investigated the effects of four commonly employed drug transporter inhibitors on cocktail drug pharmacokinetics. Methods In a randomized open-label crossover trial in 45 healthy male subjects, treatment groups received the cocktail with or without single oral doses of rifampin, verapamil, cimetidine or probenecid. Concentrations of the probe drugs in serial plasma samples and urine fractions were measured by validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assays to assess systemic exposure. Results The results were generally in accordance with known in vitro and/or clinical drug–drug interaction data. Single-dose rifampin increased rosuvastatin area under the plasma concentration–time curve up to the last quantifiable concentration (AUC0–tz) by 248% and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) by 1025%. Probenecid increased furosemide AUC0–tz by 172% and Cmax by 23%. Cimetidine reduced metformin renal clearance by 26%. The effect of single-dose verapamil on digoxin systemic exposure was less than expected from multiple-dose studies (AUC0–tz unaltered, Cmax + 22%). Conclusions Taking all the interaction results together, the transporter cocktail is considered to be validated as a sensitive and specific tool for evaluating transporter-mediated drug–drug interactions in drug development.

Abstract
A cocktail approach is a method to comprehensively evaluate the activity of cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) by co-administering multiple CYP substrates. This is the first report that compares the results from a cocktail study to a single substrate separate administration study (single study) with concomitant administration of CYP inducers/inhibitors. The validity of a cocktail study for use as a quantitative drug-drug interactions (DDIs) assessment was evaluated.We administered a cocktail drug (caffeine, losartan, omeprazole, dextromethorphan, midazolam) with rifampicin, cimetidine or fluvoxamine. A comparative analysis was performed between the results of a cocktail study and single studies. The results of single studies were obtained from a literature review and the trials of single substrate separate administration.A strong positive correlation of the AUC ratio of all drugs between single studies and the cocktail study was obtained. The ratio of AUC change of 12 combinations converged to 0.82-1.09, and 2 combinations ranged between 0.74-1.32.The differences in the degree of interaction between the single studies and cocktail study are acceptable to evaluate DDIs for almost all combinations. Our results indicate that a cocktail study is an adequate and quantitative evaluation method for DDIs.

Identification of Appropriate Endogenous Biomarker for Risk Assessment of Multidrug and Toxin Extrusion Protein-Mediated Drug-Drug Interactions in Healthy Volunteers. Clin Pharmacol Ther 2020; 109:507-516.

Abstract
Endogenous biomarkers are emerging to advance clinical drug‐drug interaction (DDI) risk assessment in drug development. Twelve healthy subjects received a multidrug and toxin exclusion protein (MATE) inhibitor (pyrimethamine, 10, 25, and 75 mg) in a crossover fashion to identify an appropriate endogenous biomarker to assess MATE1/2‐K‐mediated DDI in the kidneys. Metformin (500 mg) was also given as reference probe drug for MATE1/2‐K. In addition to the previously reported endogenous biomarker candidates (creatinine and N1‐methylnicotinamide (1‐NMN)), N1‐methyladenosine (m1A) was included as novel biomarkers. 1‐NMN and m1A presented as superior MATE1/2‐K biomarkers since changes in their renal clearance (CLr) along with pyrimethamine dose were well‐correlated with metformin CLr changes. The CLr of creatinine was reduced by pyrimethamine, however, its changes poorly correlated with metformin CLr changes. Nonlinear regression analysis (CLr vs. mean total concentration of pyrimethamine in plasma) yielded an estimate of the inhibition constant (Ki) of pyrimethamine and the fraction of the clearance pathway sensitive to pyrimethamine. The in vivoKi value thus obtained was further converted to unbound Ki using plasma unbound fraction of pyrimethamine, which was comparable to the in vitroKi for MATE1 (1‐NMN) and MATE2‐K (1‐NMN and m1A). It is concluded that 1‐NMN and m1A CLr can be leveraged as quantitative MATE1/2‐K biomarkers for DDI risk assessment in healthy volunteers.

Combinations of common SNPs of the transporter gene ABCB1 influence apparent bioavailability, but not renal elimination of oral digoxin. Sci Rep 2020; 10:12457. [PMID: 32719417 PMCID: PMC7385621 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-69326-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2020] [Accepted: 07/10/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Effects of different genotypes on the pharmacokinetics of probe substrates may support their use as phenotyping agents for the activity of the respective enzyme or transporter. Digoxin is recommended as a probe substrate to assess the activity of the transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in humans. Current studies on the individual effects of three commonly investigated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the ABCB1 gene encoding P-gp (C1236T, G2677T/A, and C3435T) on digoxin pharmacokinetics are inconclusive. Since SNPs are in incomplete linkage disequilibrium, considering combinations of these SNPs might be necessary to assess the role of polymorphisms in digoxin pharmacokinetics accurately. In this study, the relationship between SNP combinations and digoxin pharmacokinetics was explored via a population pharmacokinetic approach in 40 volunteers who received oral doses of 0.5 mg digoxin. Concerning the SNPs 1236/2677/3435, the following combinations were evaluated: CGC, CGT, and TTT. Carriers of CGC/CGT and TTT/TTT had 35% higher apparent bioavailability compared to the reference group CGC/CGC, while no difference was seen in CGC/TTT carriers. No significant effect on renal clearance was observed. The population pharmacokinetic model supports the use of oral digoxin as a phenotyping substrate of intestinal P-gp, but not to assess renal P-gp activity.

Abstract
Clinical reports on transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions (TP-DDIs) have rapidly accumulated and regulatory guidance/guidelines recommend that sponsors consider performing quantitative prediction of TP-DDI risks in the process of drug development. In vitro experiments for characterizing the function of drug transporters have been established and various parameters such as the inhibition constant (Ki) of drugs and the intrinsic uptake/efflux clearance for a certain transporter can be obtained. However, many reports have indicated large discrepancies between the parameters estimated from in vitro experiments and those rationally explaining drug pharmacokinetics. Thus, it is essential to evaluate directly the function of each transporter isoform in vivo in humans. At present, several transporter substrate drugs and endogenous compounds have been recognized as probe substrates for a specific transporter and transporter function was evaluated by monitoring the plasma and urine concentration of those probes; however, few compounds specifically transported via a single transporter isoform have been found. For monitoring the intraorgan concentration of drugs, positron emission tomography can be a powerful tool and clinical examples for quantification of in vivo transporter function have been published. In this review, novel methodologies for in vivo phenotyping of transporter function are summarized.
