Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes play a central role in the elimination of approximately 80% of all clinically used drugs. Differences in CYP enzyme activity between individuals can contribute to interindividual variability in exposure and, therefore, treatment outcome. In vivo CYP enzyme activity could be determined with phenotyping. Currently, (sub)therapeutic doses are used for in vivo phenotyping, which can lead to side effects. The use of microdoses (100 µg) for in vivo phenotyping for CYP enzymes could overcome the limitations associated with the use of (sub)therapeutic doses of substrates. The aim of this review is to provide a critical overview of the application of microdosing for in vivo phenotyping of CYP enzymes. A literature search was performed to find drug-drug interaction studies of CYP enzyme substrates that used microdoses of the respective substrates. A substrate was deemed sensitive to changes in CYP enzyme activity when the pharmacokinetics of the substrate significantly changed during inhibition and induction of the enzyme. On the basis of the currently available evidence, the use of microdosing for in vivo phenotyping for subtypes CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, and CYP2E1 is not recommended. Microdosing can be used for the in vivo phenotyping of CYP2C19 and CYP3A. The recommended microdose phenotyping test for CYP2C19 is measuring the omeprazole area-under-the-concentration-time curve over 24 h (AUC0-24) after administration of a single 100 µg dose. CYP3A activity could be best determined with a 0.1-75 µg dose of midazolam, and subsequently measuring AUC extrapolated to infinity (AUC∞) or clearance. Moreover, there are two metrics available for midazolam using a limited sampling strategy: AUC over 10 h (AUC0-10) and AUC from 2 to 4 h (AUC2-4).

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a prevalent malignancy among adolescents, commonly manifesting during childhood and adolescence. It exhibits a high degree of malignancy, propensity for metastasis, rapid progression, and poses challenges in clinical management. Chemotherapy represents an efficacious therapeutic modality for OS treatment. However, chemotherapy resistance of OS is a major problem in clinical treatment. In order to treat OS effectively, it is particularly important to explore the mechanism of chemotherapy resistance in OS.The Pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a nuclear receptor primarily involved in the metabolism, transport, and elimination of xenobiotics, including chemotherapeutic agents. PXR involves three stages of drug metabolism: stage I: drug metabolism enzymes; stage II: drug binding enzyme; stage III: drug transporter.PXR has been confirmed to be involved in the process of chemotherapy resistance in malignant tumors. The expression of PXR is increased in OS, which may be related to drug resistance of OS. Therefore, wereviewed in detail the role of PXR in chemotherapy drug resistance in OS.

Abstract
While cytochrome P450 (CYP; P450) enzymes are commonly associated with the metabolism of organic xenobiotics and drugs or the biosynthesis of organic signaling molecules, they are also impacted by a variety of inorganic species. Metallic nanoparticles, clusters, ions, and complexes can alter CYP expression, modify enzyme interactions with reductase partners, and serve as direct inhibitors. This commonly overlooked topic is reviewed here, with an emphasis on understanding the structural and physiochemical basis for these interactions. Intriguingly, while both organometallic and coordination compounds can act as potent CYP inhibitors, there is little evidence for the metabolism of inorganic compounds by CYPs, suggesting a potential alternative approach to evading issues associated with rapid modification and elimination of medically useful compounds.

Improving wastewater-based epidemiology for new psychoactive substance surveillance by combining a high-throughput in vitro metabolism assay and LC-HRMS metabolite identification. WATER RESEARCH 2024; 253:121297. [PMID: 38354662 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2024.121297] [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: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024]
Abstract
One of the primary criteria for a suitable drug biomarker for wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is having a unique source representing human metabolism. For WBE studies, this means it is important to identify and monitor metabolites rather than parent drugs, to capture consumption of drugs and not fractions that could be directly disposed. In this study, a high-throughput workflow based on a human liver S9 fraction in vitro metabolism assay was developed to identify human transformation products of new chemicals, using α-pyrrolidino-2-phenylacetophenone (α-D2PV) as a case study. Analysis by liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry identified four metabolites. Subsequently, a targeted liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry method was developed for their analysis in wastewater samples collected from a music festival in Australia. The successful application of this workflow opens the door for future work to better understand the metabolism of chemicals and their detection and application for wastewater-based epidemiology.

Abstract
Bariatric surgeries are becoming more prevalent as obesity rates continue to rise. Being that it is an effective weight-loss procedure, it can induce significant anatomical, physiological, and metabolic alterations, which affect the pharmacokinetics of various medications. Cytochrome (CYP) P450 is a group of enzymes that are primarily responsible for metabolizing most medications. Bariatric surgery may affect CYP activity and consequently alter metabolism of various medications, and the resulting weight loss may influence the metabolism of various drugs. This study investigates the impact of bariatric surgery on which CYP enzymes are affected and their effects medications. Authors of this study did an extensive literature review and research in databases including PubMed and EMBASE. The evidence was gathered for medication efficacy influenced by enzyme fluctuations to advocate for further studies for patients that undergo bariatric surgery. The search was limited to English-language results and is deemed up to date as of September 2023. There are numerous studies that indicated alterations of the CYP enzyme activity, which affects the pharmacokinetics of medications used to treat acute and chronic conditions after bariatric surgery. There are various mechanisms involved in CYP enzyme activity leading to fluctuations and the clearance of medications and subsequently compromising the efficacy and safety of these agents. It is imperative to conduct more prospective randomized control studies with longer duration to guide clinicians on how to manage medications with various CYP activity for patients' post-bariatric surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Personalized pharmacotherapy, including for the pediatric population, provides optimal treatment and has emerged as a major trend owing to advanced drug therapeutics and diversified drug selection. However, it is essential to understand the growth and developmental characteristics of this population to provide appropriate drug therapy. In recent years, clinical pharmacogenetics has accumulated knowledge in pediatric pharmacotherapy, and guidelines from professional organizations, such as the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium, can be consulted to determine the efficacy of specific drugs and the risk of adverse effects. However, the existence of a large knowledge gap hinders the use of these findings in clinical practice. METHODS We provide a narrative review of the knowledge gaps in pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) in the pediatric population, focusing on the differences from the perspective of growth and developmental characteristics. In addition, we explored PK/PD in relation to pediatric clinical pharmacogenetics. RESULTS The lack of direct and indirect biomarkers for more accurate assessment of the effects of drug administration limits the current knowledge of PD. In addition, incorporating pharmacogenetic insights as pivotal covariates is indispensable in this comprehensive synthesis for precision therapy; therefore, we have provided recommendations regarding the current status and challenges of personalized pediatric pharmacotherapy. The integration of clinical pharmacogenetics with the health care system and institution of educational programs for health care providers is necessary for its safe and effective implementation. A comprehensive understanding of the physiological and genetic complexities of the pediatric population will facilitate the development of effective and personalized pharmacotherapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Cancer chemotherapy has been shifted from conventional cytotoxic drug therapy to selective and target-specific therapy after the findings about DNA changes and proteins that are responsible for cancer. A large number of newer drugs were discovered as targeted therapy for particular types of neoplastic disease. The initial discovery includes the development of the first in the category, imatinib, a Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) for the treatment of chronic myelocytic leukemia in 2001. But the joy did not last for long as the drug developed a point mutation within the ABL1 kinase domain of BCR-ABL1, which subsequently led to the discovery of many other TKIs. Resistance was observed for newer TKIs a few years after their launching, but the use of TKIs in life-threatening cancer therapy is considered as far better compared with the risks of disease because of its target specificity and hence less toxicity. In search of a better anticancer agent, the physiochemical properties of the lead molecule have been modified for its efficacy toward disease and delay in the development of resistance. Deuteration in the drug molecule is one of such modifications that alter the pharmacokinetic properties, generally its metabolism, as compared with its pharmacodynamic effects. Precision deuteration in many anticancer drugs has been carried out to search for better drugs for cancer. In this review, the majority of anticancer drugs and molecules for which deuteration was applied to get better anticancer molecules were discussed. This review will provide a complete guide about the benefits of deuteration in cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Drug metabolism is one of the critical determinants of drug disposition throughout the body. While traditionally associated with the liver, recent research has unveiled the presence and functional significance of drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) within the brain. Specifically, cytochrome P-450 enzymes (CYPs) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) enzymes have emerged as key players in drug biotransformation within the central nervous system (CNS). This comprehensive review explores the cellular and subcellular distribution of CYPs and UGTs within the CNS, emphasizing regional expression and contrasting profiles between the liver and brain, humans and rats. Moreover, we discuss the impact of species and sex differences on CYPs and UGTs within the CNS. This review also provides an overview of methodologies for identifying and quantifying enzyme activities in the brain. Additionally, we present factors influencing CYPs and UGTs activities in the brain, including genetic polymorphisms, physiological variables, pathophysiological conditions, and environmental factors. Examples of CYP- and UGT-mediated drug metabolism within the brain are presented at the end, illustrating the pivotal role of these enzymes in drug therapy and potential toxicity. In conclusion, this review enhances our understanding of drug metabolism's significance in the brain, with a specific focus on CYPs and UGTs. Insights into the expression, activity, and influential factors of these enzymes within the CNS have crucial implications for drug development, the design of safe drug treatment strategies, and the comprehension of drug actions within the CNS. To that end, CNS pharmacokinetic (PK) models can be improved to further advance drug development and personalized therapy.

Abstract
Background Voriconazole is an antifungal drug for which therapeutic monitoring is recommended to prevent side effects. Temporary administration of the antiemetic drug fosaprepitant remarkably decreases the plasma concentration of voriconazole from the therapeutic range. The ratio of the major metabolite voriconazole N-oxide to voriconazole exceeded that at any other time for a patient who started chemotherapy during voriconazole therapy. We attributed this unpredictable result to cytochrome P450 3A4 induced by aprepitant that was converted from fosaprepitant in vivo. Methods Concentrations of voriconazole and voriconazole N-oxide were measured using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry in primary human hepatocytes after incubation with aprepitant. Aprepitant suppressed voriconazole N-oxide formation within 24 h, followed by a continuous increase. Levels of drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450 mRNA were measured using real-time PCR in primary human hepatocytes incubated with aprepitant. Results Cytochrome P450 3A4 and 2C9 mRNA levels increased ~4- and 2-fold, respectively, over time. Cytochrome P450 3A4 induction was confirmed using reporter assays. We also assessed L-755446, a major metabolite of aprepitant that lacks a triazole ring. Both compounds dose-dependently increased reporter activity; however, induction by L-755446 was stronger than that by aprepitant. Conclusion These results indicate that aprepitant initially inhibited voriconazole metabolism via its triazole ring and increased cytochrome P450 3A4 induction following L-755446 formation. The decrease in plasma voriconazole concentration 7 days after fosaprepitant administration was mainly attributed to cytochrome P450 3A4 induction by L-755446.

Abstract
The gut microbiome harbors trillions of organisms that contribute to human health and disease. These bacteria can also affect the properties of medical drugs used to treat these diseases, and drugs, in turn, can reshape the microbiome. Research addressing interdependent microbiome-host-drug interactions thus has broad impact. In this Review, we discuss these interactions from the perspective of drug bioavailability, absorption, metabolism, excretion, toxicity, and drug-mediated microbiome modulation. We survey approaches that aim to uncover the mechanisms underlying these effects and opportunities to translate this knowledge into new strategies to improve the development, administration, and monitoring of medical drugs.

Abstract
CONTEXT Slow transit constipation (STC), the most common type of constipation, seriously affects the life of patients. Zhizhu decoction (ZZD), a traditional Chinese medicine compound, has is effective against functional constipation, but the mechanism is still unclear. OBJECTIVE This research explores the mechanism of ZZD on STC from the perspective of metabolomics and gut microbiota. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-four C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into six groups (n = 9): control (control); STC (model); positive control (positive); low-dose (5 g/kg; L-ZZD), medium-dose (10 g/kg; M-ZZD), and high-dose (20 g/kg; H-ZZD) ZZD treatment. Following treatment of mice with ZZD for two weeks, the changes in intestinal motility, colon histology, intestinal neurotransmitters, and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) pathway determined the effects of ZZD on the pathophysiology of STC. LC-MS targeting serum metabolomics was used to analyze the regulation of ZZD on neurotransmitters, and 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing was used to detect the regulation of the gut microbiome. RESULTS ZZD had the highest content of naringin (6348.1 mg/L), and could significantly increase the 24 h defecations (1.10- to 1.42-fold), fecal moisture (1.14-fold) and intestinal transport rate (1.28-fold) of STC mice, increased the thickness of the mucosal and muscular tissue (1.18- to 2.16-fold) and regulated the neurotransmitters in the colon of STC mice. Moreover, ZZD significantly activated the AHR signaling pathway, and also affected the composition of gut microbiota in STC mice. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS The beneficial effect and the possible mechanism of ZZD on STC could provide a theoretical basis for the broader clinical application of ZZD.

Principi N, Petropulacos K, Esposito S. Impact of Pharmacogenomics in Clinical Practice. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:1596. [PMID: 38004461 PMCID: PMC10675377 DOI: 10.3390/ph16111596] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2023] [Revised: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Polymorphisms of genes encoding drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters can significantly modify pharmacokinetics, and this can be associated with significant differences in drug efficacy, safety, and tolerability. Moreover, genetic variants of some components of the immune system can explain clinically relevant drug-related adverse events. However, the implementation of drug dose individualization based on pharmacogenomics remains scarce. In this narrative review, the impact of genetic variations on the disposition, safety, and tolerability of the most commonly prescribed drugs is reported. Moreover, reasons for poor implementation of pharmacogenomics in everyday clinical settings are discussed. The literature analysis showed that knowledge of how genetic variations can modify the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of a drug can lead to the adjustment of usually recommended drug dosages, improve effectiveness, and reduce drug-related adverse events. Despite some efforts to introduce pharmacogenomics in clinical practice, presently very few centers routinely use genetic tests as a guide for drug prescription. The education of health care professionals seems critical to keep pace with the rapidly evolving field of pharmacogenomics. Moreover, multimodal algorithms that incorporate both clinical and genetic factors in drug prescribing could significantly help in this regard. Obviously, further studies which definitively establish which genetic variations play a role in conditioning drug effectiveness and safety are needed. Many problems must be solved, but the advantages for human health fully justify all the efforts.

[PMID: 37894672 PMCID: PMC10609143 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28207193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Lekethromycin (LKMS) is a synthetic macrolide compound derivative intended for use as a veterinary medicine. Since there have been no in vitro studies evaluating its potential for drug-drug interactions related to cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes, the effect of the inhibitory mechanisms of LKMS on CYP450 enzymes is still unclear. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effects of LKMS on dog CYP450 enzymes. A cocktail approach using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was conducted to investigate the inhibitory effect of LKMS on canine CYP450 enzymes. Typical probe substrates of phenacetin, coumarin, bupropion, tolbutamide, dextromethorphan, chlorzoxazone, and testosterone were used for CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, and CYP3A4, respectively. This study showed that LKMS might not be a time-dependent inhibitor. LKMS inhibited CYP2A6, CYP2B6, and CYP2D6 via mixed inhibition. LKMS exhibited mixed-type inhibition against the activity of CYP2A6 with an inhibition constant (Ki) value of 135.6 μΜ. LKMS inhibited CYP2B6 in a mixed way, with Ki values of 59.44 μM. A phenotyping study based on an inhibition assay indicated that CYP2D6 contributes to the biotransformation of LKMS. A mixed inhibition of CYP2D6 with Ki values of 64.87 μM was also observed. Given that this study was performed in vitro, further in vivo studies should be conducted to identify the interaction between LKMS and canine CYP450 enzymes to provide data support for the clinical application of LKMS and the avoidance of adverse interactions between other drugs.

Abstract
Epilepsy is characterized by repeated seizure activity. Valproate, a commonly used antiepileptic drug, shows large inter-individual variation in plasma valproic levels and causes many adverse drug reactions. Aim: To find the influence of CYP2C9*2 and *3 polymorphisms on valproate-associated adverse drug reactions and plasma valproic acid levels in people with epilepsy. Methods: We recruited 158 people with epilepsy (79 cases and 79 controls) from an epilepsy clinic. Steady-state plasma valproic acid levels were measured using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and genotyping of CYP2C9 variants was carried out with helps of RT-PCR. Results: The presence of a mutant heterozygous genotype showed an odds ratio (OR) of 2.82 (95% CI: 1.10-7.24) and the adjusted OR was 5.39 (95% CI: 1.69-17.16). There was no significant difference in steady-state plasma valproate concentration between genotypes. Conclusion: The presence of a mutant heterozygous CYP2C9 genotype possesses five-times the risk of developing adverse drug reactions to valproate in people with epilepsy.

Abstract
Several studies utilizing Rhodiola rosea, which contains a complex mixture of phytochemicals, reported some positive drug-drug interaction (DDI) findings based on in vitro CYP450's enzyme inhibition, MAO-A and MAO-B inhibition, and preclinical pharmacokinetic studies in either rats or rabbits. However, variation in and multiplicity of constituents present in Rhodiola products is a cause for concern for accurately evaluating drug-drug interaction (DDI) risk. In this report, we examined the effects of bioengineered, nature-identical salidroside on the inhibition potential of salidroside on CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4 utilizing human liver microsomes, the induction potential of salidroside on CYP1A2, CYP2B6 and CYP3A4 in cryopreserved human hepatocytes, the inhibitory potential of salidroside against recombinant human MAO-A and MAO-B, and the OATP human uptake transport inhibitory potential of salidroside using transfected HEK293-OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 cells. The results demonstrate that the bioengineered salidroside at a concentration exceeding the predicted plasma concentrations of <2 µM (based on 60 mg PO) shows no risk for drug-drug interaction due to CYP450, MAO enzymes, or OATP drug transport proteins. Our current studies further support the safe use of salidroside in combination with other drugs cleared by CYP or MAO metabolism or OATP-mediated disposition.

Abstract
Improper drug prescription is a main cause of both drug-related harms (inefficacy and toxicity) and ineffective spending and waste of the healthcare system's resources. Nowadays, strategies to support an improved, informed prescription process may benefit from the adequate use of pharmacogenomic testing. Using next-generation sequencing, we analyzed the genomic profile for three major cytochromes P450 (CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6) and studied the frequencies of dysfunctional isozymes (e.g., poor, intermediate, or rapid/ultra-rapid metabolizers) in a cohort of 298 Italian subjects. We found just 14.8% of subjects with a fully normal set of cytochromes, whereas 26.5% of subjects had combined cytochrome dysfunction (more than one isozyme involved). As improper drug prescription is more frequent, and more burdening, in polytreated patients, since drug-drug interactions also cause patient harm, we discuss the potential benefits of a more comprehensive PGX testing approach to support informed drug selection in such patients.

Abstract
Eurycomanone and eurycomalactone are known quassinoids present in the roots and stems of Eurycoma longifolia. These compounds had been reported to have cytotoxic effects, however, their mechanism of action in a few cancer cell lines have yet to be elucidated. This study was aimed at investigating the anticancer effects and mechanisms of action of eurycomanone and eurycomalactone in cervical (HeLa), colorectal (HT29) and ovarian (A2780) cancer cell lines via Sulforhodamine B assay. Their mechanism of cell death was evaluated based on Hoechst 33342 assay and in silico molecular docking toward DHFR and TNF-α as putative protein targets. Eurycomanone and eurycomalactone exhibited in vitro anticancer effects manifesting IC50 values of 4.58 ± 0.090 µM and 1.60 ± 0.12 µM (HeLa), 1.22 ± 0.11 µM and 2.21 ± 0.049 µM (HT-29), and 1.37 ± 0.13 µM and 2.46 ± 0.081 µM (A2780), respectively. They induced apoptotic cancer cell death in dose- and time-dependent manners. Both eurycomanone and eurycomalactone were also predicted to have good inhibitory potential as demonstrated by the docking into TNF-α with binding affinity of -8.83 and -7.51 kcal/mol, respectively, as well as into DHFR with binding affinity results of -8.05 and -8.87 kcal/mol, respectively. These results support the evidence of eurycomanone and eurycomalactone as anticancer agents via apoptotic cell death mechanism that could be associated with TNF-α and DHFR inhibition as among possible protein targets.

Abstract
Background Cervical cancer (CC) is the second most common type of female malignancy in Bangladesh. Polymorphisms in the CYP1A1 gene have been reported to be associated with CC in different populations. This case-control study with meta-analysis was undertaken to assess the relation of CYP1A1 rs4646903 and rs1048943 polymorphisms with the susceptibility of CC. Methods A total of 185 CC patients and 220 controls were recruited, and the PCR-RFLP (Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism) technique was applied for genotyping. Again, 42 eligible studies (24 with rs4646903 and 18 with rs1048943) were included for meta-analysis, and RevMan 5.3 and the MetaGenyo web-based tool were used. Results The rs4646903 polymorphism was significantly linked with CC in all association models, namely, additive 1, additive 2, dominant, recessive, overdominant, and allele models (OR = 2.41, 4.75, 2.67, 3.61, 2.13, and 2.44 with corresponding 95% CI = 1.55-3.76, 1.81-12.45, 1.75-4.07, 1.39-9.35, 1.38-3.30, and 1.71-3.48, respectively). On the contrary, rs1048943 showed no association (p > 0.05) with CC. Haplotype analysis revealed AT and AC haplotypes significantly decreased (OR = 0.45) and increased (OR = 4.86) CC risk, respectively, and SNPs are in strong linkage disequilibrium (D' = 0.912, r2 = 0.448). Again, rs4646903 carriers with a contraception history and >5 years of taking contraceptives showed an enhanced risk of CC (OR = 2.39, OR = 3.05). Besides, rs1048943 carriers aged >40 years (OR = 0.44), conceived first child aged ≤18 years (OR = 3.45), and history of contraceptives (OR = 2.18) were significantly linked with CC. Our meta-analysis found that for CYP1A1 rs4646903 codominant 1 (COD 1), codominant 2 (COD 2), codominant 3 (COD 3), dominant model (DM), recessive model (RM), and allele model (AM) in Caucasians and overdominant model (OD) in the overall population are associated with an elevated risk of CC, whereas rs1048943 is also associated with CC in overall, Caucasians and Asians in some genetic models. Conclusion Our case-control study and meta-analysis summarize that CYP1A1 rs4646903 and rs1048943 polymorphisms may be correlated with cervical cancer.

Abstract
Accumulating clinical evidence indicates extensive inter-individual variations in the effectiveness and adverse effects of standard treatment protocols, which are largely attributed to the multifactorial regulation of the hepatic CYP-dependent drug metabolism that is connected with either transcriptional or post-translational modifications. Age and stress belong to the most important factors in CYP gene regulation. Alterations in neuroendocrine responses to stress, which are associated with modified hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis function, usually accompany ageing. In this light, ageing followed by a decline of the functional integrity of organs, including liver, a failure in preserving homeostasis under stress, increased morbidity and susceptibility to stress, among others, holds a determinant role in the CYP-catalyzed drug metabolism and thus, in the outcome and toxicity of pharmacotherapy. Modifications in the drug metabolizing capacity of the liver with age have been reported and in particular, a decline in the activity of the main CYP isoforms in male senescent rats, indicating decreased metabolism and higher levels of the drug-substrates in their blood. These factors along with the restricted experience in the use of the most medicines in childhood and elderly, could explain at an extent the inter-individual variability in drug efficacy and toxicity outcomes, and underscore the necessity of designing the treatment protocols, accordingly.

Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme families 1, 2, and 3 play a pivotal role in eliminating most drugs. Factors that affect CYP function and expression have a major impact on treatment outcomes. Therefore, polymorphisms of these enzymes result in alleles with diverse enzymatic activity and drug metabolism phenotypes. Africa has the highest CYP genetic diversity and also the highest burden of malaria and tuberculosis, and this review presents current general information on CYP enzymes together with variation data concerning antimalarial and antituberculosis drugs, while focusing on the first three CYP families. Afrocentric alleles such as CYP2A6*17, CYP2A6*23, CYP2A6*25, CYP2A6*28, CYP2B6*6, CYP2B6*18, CYP2C8*2, CYP2C9*5, CYP2C9*8, CYP2C9*9, CYP2C19*9, CYP2C19*13, CYP2C19*15, CYP2D6*2, CYP2D6*17, CYP2D6*29, and CYP3A4*15 are implicated in diverse metabolic phenotypes of different antimalarials such as artesunate, mefloquine, quinine, primaquine, and chloroquine. Moreover, CYP3A4, CYP1A1, CYP2C8, CYP2C18, CYP2C19, CYP2J2, and CYP1B1 are implicated in the metabolism of some second-line antituberculosis drugs such as bedaquiline and linezolid. Drug-drug interactions, induction/inhibition, and enzyme polymorphisms that influence the metabolism of antituberculosis, antimalarial, and other drugs, are explored. Moreover, a mapping of Afrocentric missense mutations to CYP structures and a documentation of their known effects provided structural insights, as understanding the mechanism of action of these enzymes and how the different alleles influence enzyme function is invaluable to the advancement of precision medicine.

Specific Gene Duplication and Loss of Cytochrome P450 in Families 1-3 in Carnivora (Mammalia, Laurasiatheria). Animals (Basel) 2022; 12:ani12202821. [PMID: 36290207 PMCID: PMC9597770 DOI: 10.3390/ani12202821] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2022] [Revised: 09/30/2022] [Accepted: 10/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary In this study we investigated the specific duplication and loss events of cytochrome P450 (CYP) genes in families 1-3 in Carnivora. These genes have been recognized as essential detoxification enzymes, and, using genomic data, we demonstrated a synteny analysis of the CYP coding cluster and a phylogenetic analysis of these genes. We discovered the CYP2Cs and CYP3As expansion in omnivorous species such as the badger, the brown bear, the black bear, and the dog. Furthermore, phylogenetic analysis revealed the evolution of CYP2Cs and 3As in Carnivora. These findings are essential for the appropriate estimation of pharmacokinetics or toxicokinetic in wild carnivorans. Abstract Cytochrome P450s are among the most important xenobiotic metabolism enzymes that catalyze the metabolism of a wide range of chemicals. Through duplication and loss events, CYPs have created their original feature of detoxification in each mammal. We performed a comprehensive genomic analysis to reveal the evolutionary features of the main xenobiotic metabolizing family: the CYP1-3 families in Carnivora. We found specific gene expansion of CYP2Cs and CYP3As in omnivorous animals, such as the brown bear, the black bear, the dog, and the badger, revealing their daily phytochemical intake as providing the causes of their evolutionary adaptation. Further phylogenetic analysis of CYP2Cs revealed Carnivora CYP2Cs were divided into CYP2C21, 2C41, and 2C23 orthologs. Additionally, CYP3As phylogeny also revealed the 3As’ evolution was completely different to that of the Caniformia and Feliformia taxa. These studies provide us with fundamental genetic and evolutionary information on CYPs in Carnivora, which is essential for the appropriate interpretation and extrapolation of pharmacokinetics or toxicokinetic data from experimental mammals to wild Carnivora.

Abstract
Drug resistance is known to depend on the interactions with cell membranes and other molecules such as human cytochromes P450 (CYPs) which are anchored on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane and involved in the metabolism of anticancer drugs. In this study, we determined the influence from cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) on the interaction between the drug doxorubicin (DOX) and Langmuir monolayers mimicking cell membranes. The lipid composition was varied by changing the relative concentrations of cholesterol (Chol), 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC), 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DPPE), and L-α-phosphatidylinositol (PI). Three compositions were studied in detail which represented a healthy cell membrane and cancerous cell membranes. DOX induced an expansion in the surface pressure isotherms for all monolayers, with stronger effect for the composition of cancerous cell with a high Chol content, thus confirming the relevance of lipid composition. This effect decreased considerably when CYP3A4 was incorporated with the formation of CYP3A4-DOX complexes, according to results from polarization-modulated infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) measurements. Taken together, these results support the hypothesis of CYP3A4 being involved in drug resistance, which may be exploited to design strategies to enhance chemotherapy efficacy.

Abstract
Although predicting the effects of variants near intron-exon boundaries is relatively straightforward, predicting the functional Exon Splicing Enhancers (ESEs) and the possible effects of variants within ESEs remains a challenge. Considering the essential role of CYP2D6/CYP2C19 genes in drug metabolism, we attempted to identify variants that are most likely to disrupt splicing through their effect on these ESEs. ESEs were predicted in these two genes using ESEfinder 3.0, incorporating a series of filters (increased threshold and evolutionary conservation). Finally, reported mutations were evaluated for their potential to disrupt splicing by affecting these ESEs. Initially, 169 and 243 ESEs were predicted for CYP2C19/CYP2D6, respectively. However, applying the filters, the number of predicted ESEs was reduced to 26 and 19 in CYP2C19/CYP2D6, respectively. Comparing prioritized predicted ESEs with known sequence variants in CYP2C19/CYP2D6 genes highlights 18 variations within conserved ESEs for each gene. We found good agreement in cases where such predictions could be compared to experimental evidence. In total, we prioritized a subset of mutational changes in CYP2C19/CYP2D6 genes that may affect the function of these genes and lead to altered drug responses. Clinical studies and functional analysis for investigating detailed functional consequences of the mentioned mutations and their phenotypic outcomes is mostly recommended.

INSECT BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2022; 146:103796. [PMID: 35636594 DOI: 10.1016/j.ibmb.2022.103796] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2022] [Revised: 05/24/2022] [Accepted: 05/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Divergence of gene function is a hallmark of evolution, but assessing such divergence in one species or between species requires information on functional alterations of the alleles and homologs. Here, we explore the functional divergence of two paralogs, CYP6AE19 and CYP6AE20, from Helicoverpa armigera, and two close orthologs, CYP6B8 and CYP6B7, from two related species (Helicoverpa zea and H. armigera); although there is high sequence identity within each pair of enzymes, the latter P450 of each pair has lost metabolic competence towards the plant allelochemical xanthotoxin. Multiple chimeric and single/double site mutants were created by exchanging the diverse substrate recognition sites (SRSs) and amino acids within each pair of P450s. Heterologous expression in Sf9 cells and in vitro metabolism studies showed that the exchange of SRS4 swapped the activity of CYP6AE19 and CYP6AE20, and subsequent site-directed mutagenesis demonstrated that the CYP6AE20 V318M substitution causes a gain-of-function towards xanthotoxin. Meanwhile, a single amino acid substitution (L489P) in SRS6 was found to swap activity between the CYP6B orthologs. Sequence alignments of CYP6AE paralogs and all reported insect xanthotoxin-metabolizing P450s suggest M318 and P489 are essential for the catalytic activities of CYP6AE paralogs and CYP6B orthologs, respectively, but P450s in different subfamilies may have different mechanisms towards the same substrate. Our findings demonstrate that a single amino acid substitution can suffice to alter substrate metabolism and this functional divergence resulting from natural mutations will help to further our understanding of the process of natural selection of P450 genes and their role in insect-host plant interactions.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 286:114930. [PMID: 34952190 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2021.114930] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2021] [Revised: 12/16/2021] [Accepted: 12/16/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Aidi injection (ADI), a traditional chinese medicine preparation, is widely used in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of various malignant tumors, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Studies have shown that changes in cytochrome P450 (CYP450) activity in disease states would affect the metabolism of drugs in vivo, especially liver diseases. However, the changes of Aidi injection on the activities of CYP2D4, CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP3A2, CYP2E1 and CYP2C11 in normal and HCC states are still unknown. AIM OF THE STUDY The cocktail probe drugs method was used to investigate the effects of ADI on the activity of CYP2D4, CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP3A2, CYP2E1 and CYP2C11 in normal and HCC rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS The HCC rats was induced by diethylnitrosamine (DEN). Then, both normal and HCC rats were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 6). They were given saline or ADI (10 mL/kg/d, i.p) for 2 weeks, respectively. On the fifteenth day, cocktail probe mixing solution, including metoprolol (10 mg/kg), caffeine (1.0 mg/kg), omeprazole (2.0 mg/kg), midazolam (2.0 mg/kg), chlorzoxazone (4.0 mg/kg) and tolbutamide (0.5 mg/kg), was injected into tail vein of all rats in each group. The blood sample was obtained at specified time. After the protein is precipitated, six probe drugs are analyzed by ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). RESULTS Compared with control group, the activity of CYP3A2 and CYP2E1 was significantly lower in the ADI group. Compared with the model group, the activities of CYP1A2, CYP3A2, CYP2E1, and CYP2C11 enzymes in the ADI model group were significantly reduced. Additionally, the activity of CYP2D4, CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP3A2, CYP2E1 and CYP2C11 enzymes in model group was significantly lower than control group. CONCLUSIONS ADI can inhibit a lot of CYP450 enzyme, so it may reduce the dosage of chemotherapeutic drugs to reach the required plasma concentration of chemotherapeutic drugs, which is of great significance for the combination of anti-tumor chemotherapeutic drugs and is worthy of further in-depth study and clinical attention.

Abstract
The impact of genetic variability of pharmacogenes as a possible risk factor for adverse drug reactions is elucidated in the EMPAR (Einfluss metabolischer Profile auf die Arzneimitteltherapiesicherheit in der Routineversorgung/English: influence of metabolic profiles on the safety of drug therapy in routine care) study. EMPAR evaluates possible associations of pharmacogenetically predicted metabolic profiles relevant for the metabolism of frequently prescribed cardiovascular drugs. Based on a German study population of 10,748 participants providing access to healthcare claims data and DNA samples for pharmacogenetic assessment, first analyses were performed and evaluated. The aim of this first evaluation was the characterization of the study population with regard to general parameters such as age, gender, comorbidity, and polypharmacy at baseline (baseline year) as well as important combinations of cardiovascular drugs with relevant genetic variants and predicted metabolic phenotypes. The study was registered in the German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS) on July 6, 2018 (DRKS00013909).

Abstract
Antipsychotics are the mainstay treatment for schizophrenia. There is large variability between individuals in their response to antipsychotics, both in efficacy and adverse effects of treatment. While the source of interindividual variability in antipsychotic response is not completely understood, genetics is a major contributing factor. The identification of pharmacogenetic markers that predict antipsychotic efficacy and adverse reactions is a growing area of research and holds the potential to replace the current trial-and-error approach to treatment selection in schizophrenia with a personalized medicine approach.In this chapter, we provide an overview of the current state of pharmacogenetics in schizophrenia treatment. The most promising pharmacogenetic findings are presented for both antipsychotic response and commonly studied adverse reactions. The application of pharmacogenetics to schizophrenia treatment is discussed, with an emphasis on the clinical utility of pharmacogenetic testing and directions for future research.

Abstract
Cytochrome (CYP) P450 enzymes are responsible for metabolism of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), and encoded by highly polymorphic genes. A case-control study was conducted in Mansoura University Children's Hospital, Egypt including 100 children with nonlesional epilepsy (50 AEDs responders and 50 resistant cases) and 50 healthy controls. All participants were investigated for frequencies of CYP2C9 (*2&*3) and CYP2C19 (*2&*3) genotypes and alleles using polymerase chain reaction. The current study reported higher frequencies of CYP2C9*2 (CT) genotype and (T) allele among responsive and resistant groups than controls (P < 0.001). Frequency of (TT) genotype was higher in resistant than responsive group (P = 0.02, OR 12, 95% CI 1.2-122.3). No significant differences were detected between responsive and resistant groups regarding CYP2C9*2 alleles (P = 0.2). CYP2C9*3 (AC) genotype was more frequent in controls than other groups (P < 0.001). No significant differences were detected between responsive and resistant groups regarding neither CYP2C9*3 genotypes nor alleles (P = 0.11 and 0.2, respectively). CYP2C19*2&*3 (GA) genotypes and (A) alleles were more frequent in responsive and resistant groups than controls (P < 0.001). No significant differences were detected between responsive and resistant groups regarding neither CYP2C19*2&*3 genotypes nor alleles (P = 0.21 and 0.89 for CYP2C19*2; P = 1 and 0.77 for CYP2C19*3). The CYP2C9*2 (TT) genotype, earlier seizure onset and higher seizures frequency were associated with higher risks of refractory epilepsy. We concluded that heterozygous genotypes of CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C19 (*2&*3) and mutant alleles of studied variants were more frequent among children with nonlesional epilepsy. CYP2C9*2 (TT) genotype increased refractory epilepsy susceptibility.

Abstract
CONTEXT The interaction between nobiletin and anemarsaponin BII could affect the pharmacological activity of these two drugs during their combination. OBJECTIVE The co-administration of nobiletin and anemarsaponin BII was investigated to explore the interaction and the potential mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were only orally administrated with 50 mg/kg nobiletin as the control and another six rats were pre-treated with 100 mg/kg anemarsaponin BII for 7 d followed by the administration of nobiletin. The transport and metabolic stability of nobiletin were evaluated in vitro, and the effect of anemarsaponin BII on the activity of CYP3A4 was also assessed to explore the potential mechanism underlying the interaction. RESULTS The increasing Cmax (2309.67 ± 68.06 μg/L vs. 1767.67 ± 68.86 μg/L), AUC (28.84 ± 1.34 mg/L × h vs. 19.57 ± 2.76 mg/L × h), prolonged t1/2 (9.80 ± 2.33 h vs. 6.24 ± 1.53 h), and decreased clearance rate (1.46 ± 0.26 vs. 2.42 ± 0.40) of nobilein was observed in rats. Anemarsaponin BII significantly enhanced the metabolic stability of nobiletin in rat liver microsomes (half-life increased from 31.56 min to 39.44 min) and suppressed the transport of nobiletin in Caco-2 cells (efflux rate decreased from 1.57 ± 0.04 to 1.30 ± 0.03). The inhibitory effect of anemarsaponin BII on CYP3A4 was also found with an IC50 value of 10.23 μM. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS The interaction between anemarsaponin BII and nobiletin was induced by the inhibition of CYP3A4, which should draw special attention in their clinical co-administration.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Acanthamoeba spp. are free-living parasites that can cause severe infections such as granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE) and amoebic keratitis (AK). Polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) is a topical application for AK treatment. However, PHMB is not entirely effective against all Acanthamoeba strains or isolates. The mechanisms by which Acanthamoeba protects itself against extreme drug conditions without encystation are still unknown. According to a previous study, cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (CYP450MO) plays an important role in the oxidative biotransformation of numerous drugs related to metabolism. In this study, a CYP450MO fragment was inserted into the pGAPDH-EGFP vector and transfected into Acanthamoeba castellanii. We found that CYP450MO-overexpressing Acanthamoeba had higher survival rates than those of the control cells after PHMB treatment. Moreover, we also found that encystation-related genes such as cellulose synthase I (CSI), encystation-mediating serine proteinase (EMSP), and autophagy-related protein 8 (ATG8) expression levels were not significantly different between Acanthamoeba transfected by pGAPDH-EGFP or pGAPDH-EGFP-CYP450MO. We suggest that Acanthamoeba transfected by pGAPDH-EGFP-CYP450MO may not induce encystation-related genes to resist PHMB treatment. In conclusion, these findings indicate that CYP450MO may be an additional target when PHMB is used for treatment of amoebic keratitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Salivary glands are among the most sensitive target organs of medications with anticholinergic (AC) properties, interrupting the neural stimulation of saliva secretion and reducing saliva flow. Hyposalivation results in dry mouth, leading to dental caries, intraoral infection, orofacial pain, problems with speaking and swallowing, and diminished oral health--related quality of life. Current understanding of the pharmacokinetics of AC medications and their effect on muscarinic receptors in the salivary glands were reviewed to assist clinicians in predicting salivary damage in patients with AC medication-induced dry mouth. STUDY DESIGN We summarized the literature related to the mechanisms and properties of AC medications, anticholinergic adverse effects, and their effect on salivary function and management strategies to prevent oral health damage. RESULTS Although a large number of studies reported on the frequencies of medication-induced dry mouth, we found very limited data on predicting individual susceptibility to AC medication--caused hyposalivation and no prospective clinical studies addressing this issue. CONCLUSION Dry mouth is most frequently caused by medications with AC properties, which interrupt the neural stimulation of saliva secretion. Interdisciplinary care should guide pharmacotherapeutics and dental interventions should aim in preventing AC salivary adverse effects and reducing the oral health burden from AC medication-induced dry mouth.

Oleuropein-Induced Acceleration of Cytochrome P450-Catalyzed Drug Metabolism: Central Role for Nuclear Receptor Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor α. Drug Metab Dispos 2021; 49:833-843. [PMID: 34162688 PMCID: PMC11022892 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.120.000302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2020] [Accepted: 04/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Oleuropein (OLE), the main constituent of Olea europaea, displays pleiotropic beneficial effects in health and disease, which are mainly attributed to its anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective properties. Several food supplements and herbal medicines contain OLE and are available without a prescription. This study investigated the effects of OLE on the main cytochrome P450s (P450s) catalyzing the metabolism of many prescribed drugs. Emphasis was given to the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα), a nuclear transcription factor regulating numerous genes including P450s. 129/Sv wild-type and Ppara-null mice were treated with OLE for 6 weeks. OLE induced Cyp1a1, Cyp1a2, Cyp1b1, Cyp3a14, Cyp3a25, Cyp2c29, Cyp2c44, Cyp2d22, and Cyp2e1 mRNAs in liver of wild-type mice, whereas no similar effects were observed in Ppara-null mice, indicating that the OLE-induced effect on these P450s is mediated by PPARα. Activation of the pathways related to phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (AKT)/forkhead box protein O1, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, AKT/p70, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase participates in P450 induction by OLE. These data indicate that consumption of herbal medicines and food supplements containing OLE could accelerate the metabolism of drug substrates of the above-mentioned P450s, thus reducing their efficacy and the outcome of pharmacotherapy. Therefore, OLE-induced activation of PPARα could modify the effects of drugs due to their increased metabolism and clearance, which should be taken into account when consuming OLE-containing products with certain drugs, in particular those of narrow therapeutic window. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This study indicated that oleuropein, which belongs to the main constituents of the leaves and olive drupes of Olea europaea, induces the synthesis of the major cytochrome P450s (P450s) metabolizing the majority of prescribed drugs via activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α. This effect could modify the pharmacokinetic profile of co-administered drug substrates of the P450s, thus altering their therapeutic efficacy and toxicity.

OpenCYP: An open source database exploring human variability in activities and frequencies of polymophisms for major cytochrome P-450 isoforms across world populations.

Abstract
The open source database "OpenCYP database" has been developed based on the results of extensive literature searches from the peer-reviewed literature. OpenCYP provides data on human variability on baseline of activities and polymophism frequencies for selected cytochrome P-450 isoforms (CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2D6, CYP3A4/3A5 and CYP3A7) in healthy adult populations from world populations. CYP enzymatic activities were generally expressed as the metabolic ratio (MR) between an unchanged probe drug and its metabolite(s) in urine or plasma measured in healthy adults. Data on other age groups were very limited and fragmented, constituting an important data gap. Quantitative comparisons were often hampered by the different experimental conditions used. However, variability was quite limited for CYP1A2, using caffeine as a probe substrate, with a symmetrical distribution of metabolic activity values. For CYP3A4, human variability was dependent on the probe substrate itself with low variability when data considering the dextromethorphan/demethilathed metabolite MR were used and large variability when the urinary 6β-hydroxycortisol/cortisol ratio was used. The largest variability in CYP activity was shown for CYP2D6 activity, after oral dosing of dextromethorphan, for which genetic polymorphisms are well characterised and constitute a significant source of variability. It is foreseen that the OpenCYP database can contribute to promising tools to support the further development of QIVIVE and PBK models for human risk assessment of chemicals particularly when combined with information on isoform-specific content in cells using proteomic approaches.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers in the world. The landscape of HCC's molecular alteration signature has been explored over the last few decades. Even so, more comprehensive research is still needed to improve understanding of tumorigenesis and progression of HCC, as well as to identify potential biomarkers for the malignancy. In this research, a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis was conducted based on the publicly available databases from both the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) program and the gene expression omnibus (GEO) database. R/Bioconductor was used to analyze differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between HCC tumor and normal control (NC) samples, and then a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of DEGs was established through the STRING platform. Finally, the application of specific candidate genes as diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers of HCC was explored and evaluated by ROC and survival analysis. A total of 310 DEGs were detected in the HCC tumor samples. Thirty-six hub DEGs in the PPI network and 10 candidates of the 36 genes showed significant alterations in tumor expression, including CDKN3, TOP2A, UBE2C, CDC20, PBK, ASPM, KIF20A, NCAPG, CCNB2, CYP3A4. The 10-gene signature had relatively significant effects when distinguishing tumors from normal samples (sensitivity >70%, specificity >70%, AUC >0.8, p < 0.001). Eight candidate genes were negatively correlated with the overall survival rate of the patients (p < 0.05) and were all up-regulated in HCC tumor samples. The age and gender factors had no significant impact on the overall survival rate of HCC patients (p > 0.05), and the TNM stage status factor had a significant negative prognosis correlation (p < 0.05). This research provides evidence for a better understanding of tumorigenesis and progression of HCC and helps to explore candidate targets for disease diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Drug-induced toxicity, which impairs human organ function, is a serious problem during drug development that hinders the clinical use of many marketed drugs, and the underlying mechanisms are complicated. As a sensor of infections and external stimuli, nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome plays a key role in the pathological process of various diseases. In this review, we specifically focused on the role of NLRP3 inflammasome in drug-induced diverse organ toxicities, especially the hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and cardiotoxicity. NLRP3 inflammasome is involved in the initiation and deterioration of drug-induced toxicity through multiple signaling pathways. Therapeutic strategies via inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome for drug-induced toxicity have made significant progress, especially in the protective effects of the phytochemicals. Growing evidence collected in this review indicates that NLRP3 is a promising therapeutic target for drug-induced toxicity.

Abstract
Drug metabolism is a critical process for the removal of unwanted substances from the body. In humans, approximately 80% of oxidative metabolism and almost 50% of the overall elimination of commonly used drugs can be attributed to one or more of various cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes from CYP families 1-3. In addition to the basic metabolic effects for elimination, CYP enzymes in vivo are capable of affecting the treatment outcomes in many cases. Drug-metabolizing CYP enzymes are mainly expressed in the liver and intestine, the two principal drug oxidation and elimination organs, where they can significantly influence the drug action, safety, and bioavailability by mediating phase I metabolism and first-pass metabolism. Furthermore, CYP-mediated local drug metabolism in the sites of action may also have the potential to impact drug response, according to the literature in recent years. This article underlines the ability of CYP enzymes to influence treatment outcomes by discussing CYP-mediated diversified drug metabolism in primary metabolic sites (liver and intestine) and typical action sites (brain and tumors) according to their expression levels and metabolic activity. Moreover, intrinsic and extrinsic factors of personal differential CYP phenotypes that contribute to interindividual variation of treatment outcomes are also reviewed to introduce the multifarious pivotal role of CYP-mediated metabolism and clearance in drug therapy.

Abstract
The AHR is an environmental sensor and transcription factor activated by a variety of man-made and natural ligands, which has recently emerged as a critical regulator of homeostasis at barrier organs such as the skin. Activation of the AHR pathway downmodulates skin inflammatory responses in animal models and psoriasis clinical samples. In this study, we identify CYP1A1 enzymatic activity as a critical regulator of beneficial AHR signaling in the context of skin inflammation. Mice constitutively expressing Cyp1a1 displayed increased CYP1A1 enzymatic activity in the skin, which resulted in exacerbated immune cell activation and skin pathology, mirroring that observed in Ahr-deficient mice. Inhibition of CYP1A1 enzymatic activity ameliorated the skin immunopathology by restoring beneficial AHR signaling. Importantly, patients with psoriasis displayed reduced activation of the AHR pathway and increased CYP1A1 enzymatic activity compared with healthy donors, suggesting that dysregulation of the AHR/CYP1A1 axis may play a role in inflammatory skin disease. Thus, modulation of CYP1A1 activity may represent a promising alternative strategy to harness the anti-inflammatory effect exerted by activation of the AHR pathway in the skin.

Abstract
Opioid overdoses and deaths continue to be a problem in the USA with a significant portion related to prescribed opioid analgesic agents. The role of pharmacogentic factors in opioid addiction is an active area of research. While all opioid analgesic agents have some addictive potential, it is clear that there are some with greater addictive potential. Oxycodone is the most widely abused opioid analgesic and it appears to predispose to chronic use with high likability by users. Fentanyl and hydromorphone are both very lipophilic allowing rapid penetration into the CNS, but are not rated as highly as other agents. Providers should consider the risk of addiction with the opioids they prescribe and give those with a lower addictive potential.

Abstract
Many genetic variants in drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters have been shown to be relevant for treating psychiatric disorders. Associations are strong enough to feature on drug labels and for prescribing guidelines based on such data. A range of commercial tests are available; however, there is variability in included genetic variants, methodology, and interpretation. We herein provide relevant background for understanding clinical associations with specific variants, other factors that are relevant to consider when interpreting such data (such as age, gender, drug-drug interactions), and summarize the data relevant to clinical utility of pharmacogenetic testing in psychiatry and the available prescribing guidelines. We also highlight areas for future research focus in this field.

Abstract
The intestinal epithelium represents a natural barrier against harmful xenobiotics, while facilitating the uptake of nutrients and other substances. Understanding the interaction of chemicals with constituents of the intestinal epithelium and their fate in the body requires quantitative measurement of relevant proteins in in vitro systems and intestinal epithelium. Recent studies have highlighted the mismatch between messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein abundance for several drug‐metabolizing enzymes and transporters in the highly dynamic environment of the intestinal epithelium; mRNA abundances cannot therefore be used as a proxy for protein abundances in the gut, necessitating direct measurements. The objective was to determine the expression of a wide range proteins pertinent to metabolism and disposition of chemicals and nutrients in the intestinal epithelium. Ileum and jejunum biopsy specimens were obtained from 16 patients undergoing gastrointestinal elective surgery. Mucosal fractions were prepared and analyzed using targeted and global proteomic approaches. A total of 29 enzymes, 32 transporters, 6 tight junction proteins, 2 adhesion proteins, 1 alkaline phosphatase, 1 thioredoxin, 5 markers, and 1 regulatory protein were quantified—60 for the first time. The global proteomic method identified a further 5,222 proteins, which are retained as an open database for interested parties to explore. This study significantly expands our knowledge of a wide array of proteins important for xenobiotic handling in the intestinal epithelium. Quantitative systems biology models will benefit from the novel systems data generated in the present study and the translation path offered for in vitro to in vivo translation.

Abstract
Orofacial clefts (OFCs) are among the most common birth defects and impart a significant burden on afflicted individuals and their families. It is increasingly understood that many nonsyndromic OFCs are a consequence of extrinsic factors, genetic susceptibilities, and interactions of the two. Therefore, understanding the environmental mechanisms of OFCs is important in the prevention of future cases. This review examines the molecular mechanisms associated with environmental factors that either protect against or increase the risk of OFCs. We focus on essential metabolic pathways, environmental signaling mechanisms, detoxification pathways, behavioral risk factors, and biological hazards that may disrupt orofacial development.

Abstract
Glaucoma is a serious disease that can lead to irreversible loss of vision. Patients with primary congenital glaucoma may have elevated intraocular pressure. Hypertension causes damages to intraocular structures and affects the Schlemm's canal, collector channels, trabecular meshwork, and optic nerve's molecular structures. An important gene that is defective in patients with glaucoma is CYP1B1, a gene associated with optic nerve deterioration. CYP1B1is a key enzyme involved in the metabolism of exogenous and endogenous compounds. Also, it is critical in the detoxification of pre-carcinogens, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and estrogen. It catalyzes their conversion into metabolites subsequently eliminated from the body. In malignant tumors, the CYP1B1 promoter is hypomethylated. CYP1B1 overexpression results in the conversion of estrogens to quinone forms, which bind with DNA and create a predisposition for cancer in several organs, such as the brain, breast, and ovary. Increased cytokine interleukin-6 and leptin lead to elevated CYP1B1 activity, which possibly causes cancer. In addition, the expression of aromatic hydrocarbon receptors is increased in tumor tissues, and it elevates oxidative stress and cell growth. TCGA database analysis showed increased survival at bladder and renal carcinoma when CYP1B1 expression is low. Therefore, alteration of CYP1B1 expression may suggest a therapeutic benefit for multiple diseases such as glaucoma and cancer.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly occurring cancer worldwide. Intestinal cells are CYP27B1 gene expression sites and, as a consequence, they are capable of converting pro-vitamin D into the active paracrine and autocrine forms. It was demonstrated that rs10877012 polymorphism in the CYP27B1 gene influenced the circulating vitamin D level. This provided a rationale for determining the role that this polymorphism plays in the risk of developing colon cancer. In this study, we investigated the association of rs10877012 (T/G) polymorphism in the CYP27B1 gene with CRC susceptibility. The study population (n = 325) included CRC patients (n = 106) and healthy controls (n = 219). DNA was extracted from peripheral leukocytes and analyzed for the CYP27B1 polymorphism using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. We found an association between the presence of the T allele at the polymorphic site (odds ratio (OR) = 2.94; 95% CI 1.77–4.86; p < 0.0001) and a decreased CRC incidence.

DNA methylation and histone acetylation changes to cytochrome P450 2E1 regulation in normal aging and impact on rates of drug metabolism in the liver. GeroScience 2020; 42:819-832.

Abstract
Aging is associated with reduced liver function that may increase the risk for adverse drug reactions in older adults. We hypothesized that age-related changes to epigenetic regulation of genes involved in drug metabolism may contribute to this effect. We reviewed published epigenome-wide studies of human blood and identified the cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) gene as a top locus exhibiting epigenetic changes with age. To investigate potential functional changes with age in the liver, the primary organ of drug metabolism, we obtained liver tissue from mice aged 4-32 months from the National Institute on Aging. We assayed global DNA methylation (5-methylcytosine, 5mC), hydroxymethylation (5-hydroxymethylcytosine, 5hmC), and locus-specific 5mC and histone acetylation changes around mouse Cyp2e1. The mouse livers exhibit significant global decreases in 5mC and 5hmC with age. Furthermore, 5mC significantly increased with age at two regulatory regions of Cyp2e1 in tandem with decreases in its gene and protein expressions. H3K9ac levels also changed with age at both regulatory regions of Cyp2e1 investigated, while H3K27ac did not. To test if these epigenetic changes are associated with varying rates of drug metabolism, we assayed clearance of the CYP2E1-specific probe drug chlorzoxazone in microsome extracts from the same livers. CYP2E1 intrinsic clearance is associated with DNA methylation and H3K9ac levels at the Cyp2e1 locus but not with chronological age. This suggests that age-related epigenetic changes may influence rates of hepatic drug metabolism. In the future, epigenetic biomarkers could prove useful to guide dosing regimens in older adults.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) is involved in the metabolism of the antimalarial drugs artemether and lumefantrine. Here we investigated the effect of CYP2B6*6 on the plasma pharmacokinetics of artemether, lumefantrine, and their metabolites in healthy volunteers. Thirty healthy and previously genotyped adult volunteers-15 noncarriers (CYP2B6*1/*1) and 15 homozygote carriers (CYP2B6*6/*6)-selected from a cohort of 150 subjects from the Ilorin metropolitan area were administered the complete 3-day course of artemether and lumefantrine (80 and 480 mg twice daily, respectively). Intensive pharmacokinetic sampling was conducted at different time points before and after the last dose. Plasma concentrations of artemether, lumefantrine, dihydroartemisinin, and desbutyllumefantrine were quantified using validated liquid chromatography-mass spectrometric methods. Pharmacokinetic parameters were evaluated using noncompartmental analysis. Artemether clearance of CYP2B6*6/*6 volunteers was nonsignificantly lower by 26% (ratios of geometric mean [90% CI]; 0.74 [0.52-1.05]), and total exposure (the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity [AUC0-∞ ]) was greater by 35% (1.35 [0.95-1.93]) when compared with those of *1/*1 volunteers. Similarly, assuming complete bioconversion from artemether, the dihydroartemisinin AUC0-∞ was 22% lower. On the contrary, artemether-to-dihydroartemisinin AUC0-∞ ratio was 73% significantly higher (1.73 [1.27-2.37]). Comparison of lumefantrine exposure and lumefantrine-to-desbutyllumefantrine metabolic ratio of *6/*6 with corresponding data from *1/*1 volunteers showed no differences. The increased artemether-to-dihydroartemisinin metabolic ratio of *6/*6 volunteers is unlikely to result in differences in artemether-lumefantrine efficacy and treatment outcomes. This is the first study in humans to associate CYP2B6*6 genotype with artemether disposition.

Abstract
WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT THIS TOPIC WHAT THIS ARTICLE TELLS US THAT IS NEW: BACKGROUND:: Human ketamine N-demethylation to norketamine in vitro at therapeutic concentrations is catalyzed predominantly by the cytochrome P4502B6 isoform (CYP2B6). The CYP2B6 gene is highly polymorphic. CYP2B6.6, the protein encoded by the common variant allele CYP2B6*6, exhibits diminished ketamine metabolism in vitro compared with wild-type CYP2B6.1. The gene for cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR), an obligatory P450 coenzyme, is also polymorphic. This investigation evaluated ketamine metabolism by genetic variants of human CYP2B6 and POR. METHODS CYP2B6 (and variants), POR (and variants), and cytochrome b5 (wild-type) were coexpressed in a cell system. All CYP2B6 variants were expressed with wild-type POR and b5. All POR variants were expressed with wild-type CYP2B6.1 and b5. Metabolism of R- and S-ketamine enantiomers, and racemic RS-ketamine to norketamine enantiomers, was determined using stereoselective high-pressure liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Michaelis-Menten kinetic parameters were determined. RESULTS For ketamine enantiomers and racemate, metabolism (intrinsic clearance) was generally wild-type CYP2B6.1 > CYP2B6.4 > CYP2B6.26, CYP2B6.19, CYP2B6.17, CYP2B6.6 > CYP2B6.5, CYP2B6.7 > CYP2B6.9. CYP2B6.16 and CYP2B6.18 were essentially inactive. Activity of several CYP2B6 variants was less than half that of CYP2B6.1. CYP2B6.9 was 15 to 35% that of CYP2B6.1. The order of metabolism was wild-type POR.1 > POR.28, P228L > POR.5. CYP2B6 variants had more influence than POR variants on ketamine metabolism. Neither CYP2B6 nor POR variants affected the stereoselectivity of ketamine metabolism (S > R). CONCLUSIONS Genetic variants of CYP2B6 and P450 oxidoreductase have diminished ketamine N-demethylation activity, without affecting the stereoselectivity of metabolism. These results suggest candidate genetic polymorphisms of CYP2B6 and P450 oxidoreductase for clinical evaluation to assess consequences for ketamine pharmacokinetics, elimination, bioactivation, and therapeutic effects.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, the pig has gained attention as a potential model for human drug metabolism. Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP450), a superfamily of biotransformation enzymes, are pivotal in drug metabolism. Porcine CYP450 has been demonstrated to convert typical substrates of human CYP450. Nevertheless, knowledge and insight into porcine CYP450 quantity and substrate selectivity is scant, especially regarding intestinal CYP450. The current study aimed to map the quantities of hepatic and intestinal CYP450 in the conventional pig by using a proteomic approach. Moreover, the selectivity of the six most common used probe substrates (phenacetin, coumarin, midazolam, tolbutamide, dextromethorphan, and chlorzoxazone) for drug metabolizing enzyme subfamilies (CYP1A, CYP2A, CYP3A, CYP2C, CYP2D and CYP2E respectively), was investigated. Hepatic relative quantities were 4% (CYP1A), 31% (CYP2A), 14% (CYP3A), 10% (CYP2C), 28% (CYP2D) and 13% (CYP2E), whereas for the intestine only duodenal CYP450 could be determined with 88% for CYP3A and 12% for CYP2C. Furthermore, the results indicate that coumarin (CYP2A), midazolam (CYP3A), tolbutamide (CYP2C), and dextromethorphan (CYP2D) are as selective for porcine as for human CYP450. However, phenacetin (CYP1A2) and chlorzoxazone (CYP2E1) are less selective for the specific enzyme, despite similarities in selectivity towards the different enzymes involved compared to humans.
