Abstract
BACKGROUND Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) are used in the treatment of diabetes and obesity. Their slowing effect of gastric emptying might change oral drug absorption, potentially affecting pharmacokinetics, particularly in the case of medications with a narrow therapeutic index. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review is to summarize data on drug-drug interactions between GLP1RAs and oral drugs. DATA SOURCES The PubMed and EMBASE databases were searched up to November, 1st 2023. STUDY SELECTION We selected pharmacokinetic studies of any injectable GLP1RA given with an oral medication, and product prescribing sheets reporting data without access to the original study. DATA EXTRACTION Two authors independently extracted the data. DATA SYNTHESIS Twenty-two reports and six prescribing sheets were included. Treatment with GLP1RAs resulted in unaffected or reduced Cmax and delayed tmax of drugs with high solubility and permeability (warfarin, contraceptive pills, acetaminophen), drugs with high solubility and low permeability (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors), drugs with low solubility and high permeability (statins) and drugs with low solubility and permeability (digoxin). However, the use of GLP1RAs did not exert clinically significant changes in the AUC or differences in clinically relevant endpoints. LIMITATIONS The major limitations of the studies that are included in this systematic review are the enrollment of healthy subjects and insufficient data in conditions that might affect pharmacokinetics (e.g., kidney dysfunction). CONCLUSIONS To conclude, reduced Cmax and delayed tmax of drugs co-administered with GLP1RAs are consistent with the known delayed gastric output by the latter. Nevertheless, the overall drug exposure was not considered clinically significant. Dose adjustments are probably not required for simultaneous use of GLP1RAs with oral medications. Still, results should be carefully generalized to cases of background kidney dysfunction or when using drugs with narrow therapeutic index. The study is registered in PROSPERO: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42022332339 .

Skelley JW, Swearengin K, York AL, Glover LH. The impact of tirzepatide and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists on oral hormonal contraception. J Am Pharm Assoc (2003) 2024; 64:204-211.e4. [PMID: 37940101 DOI: 10.1016/j.japh.2023.10.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/28/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tirzepatide is a dual glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist (RA) whose mechanism of action leads to a greater effect of gastric emptying (GE) than typical GLP-1 RAs. After the first dose of tirzepatide, GE is most substantially delayed. The drug then undergoes tachyphylaxis after subsequent doses. Although data on GLP1-RAs have historically demonstrated a lack of impact on bioavailability of oral hormonal contraceptives, manufacturer recommendations for tirzepatide indicate an interaction exists. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this literature review were to review trial data on differences in the impact of tirzepatide and GLP-1 RAs on oral hormonal contraceptives and provide an analysis of safety data between oral contraceptives and incretin agents. METHODS PubMed and Google Scholar were searched using the generic name for the GLP-1/GIP agent, the generic names for GLP-1 RAs and hormonal contraceptives, followed by the generic names plus the interacting medication. A total of 6 clinical trials were selected for inclusion in the literature review. RESULTS Of the 6 articles included in the review, one investigated the use of tirzepatide and showed a statistically significant reduction in area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve, maximum concentration, and time to maximum plasma concentration when tirzepatide was concomitantly administered with an oral hormonal contraceptive. The remaining 5 studies involving GLP-1 RAs did not show a statistically or clinically significant difference of impact of the agents on oral hormonal contraceptives. CONCLUSION It could be suggested that tirzepatide had a greater impact on absorption of oral hormonal contraceptives than other GLP-1 RAs. The rapid dose escalation and greater delay on GE enhanced the impact on oral medications such as contraceptives. This differed from other GLP-1 RAs and creates a unique need for enhanced provider and patient education regarding the management of this interaction and future studies to evaluate this interaction further.

Abstract
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue marketed for once-weekly subcutaneous administration for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Like other long-acting GLP-1 analogues, semaglutide reduces gastric emptying and, potentially, alters the rate of absorption of orally co-administered drugs. The objective of the current analysis was to evaluate the effects on the gastric emptying rate caused by semaglutide on pharmacokinetic model parameters of paracetamol and atorvastatin in healthy subjects. Non-linear mixed effect modeling was used to estimate population pharmacokinetic model parameters of paracetamol and atorvastatin after single doses with or without semaglutide. The absorption rate (ka) of paracetamol decreased by 53% when co-administered with semaglutide. For atorvastatin, ka and transit compartment rate (ktr) decreased by 72% and 91%, respectively. Thus, gastric emptying, measured as T50, i.e., drug disappearance from the absorption compartments, showed an additional 5-min delay for paracetamol and a 67-min delay for atorvastatin when co-administered with semaglutide. Semaglutide affected pharmacokinetic model parameters of paracetamol and atorvastatin, and minor quantitative differences in gastric emptying between placebo vs. semaglutide administration were observed. However, these effects of semaglutide were considered not to be of clinical relevance.

Current Evidence, Challenges, and Opportunities of Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Models of Atorvastatin for Decision Making. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13050709. [PMID: 34068030 PMCID: PMC8152487 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13050709] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2021] [Revised: 05/06/2021] [Accepted: 05/11/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Atorvastatin (ATS) is the gold-standard treatment worldwide for the management of hypercholesterolemia and prevention of cardiovascular diseases associated with dyslipidemia. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models have been positioned as a valuable tool for the characterization of complex pharmacokinetic (PK) processes and its extrapolation in special sub-groups of the population, leading to regulatory recognition. Several PBPK models of ATS have been published in the recent years, addressing different aspects of the PK properties of ATS. Therefore, the aims of this review are (i) to summarize the physicochemical and pharmacokinetic characteristics involved in the time-course of ATS, and (ii) to evaluate the major highlights and limitations of the PBPK models of ATS published so far. The PBPK models incorporate common elements related to the physicochemical aspects of ATS. However, there are important differences in relation to the analyte evaluated, the type and effect of transporters and metabolic enzymes, and the permeability value used. Additionally, this review identifies major processes (lactonization, P-gp contribution, ATS-Ca solubility, simultaneous management of multiple analytes, and experimental evidence in the target population), which would enhance the PBPK model prediction to serve as a valid tool for ATS dose optimization.

Prediction of Cyclosporin-Mediated Drug Interaction Using Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Model Characterizing Interplay of Drug Transporters and Enzymes. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21197023. [PMID: 32987693 PMCID: PMC7582433 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21197023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2020] [Revised: 09/13/2020] [Accepted: 09/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Uptake transporter organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs), efflux transporters (P-gp, BCRP and MRP2) and cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP450s) are widely expressed in the liver, intestine or kidney. They coordinately work to control drug disposition, termed as "interplay of transporters and enzymes". Cyclosporine A (CsA) is an inhibitor of OATPs, P-gp, MRP2, BCRP and CYP3As. Drug-drug interaction (DDI) of CsA with victim drugs occurs via disordering interplay of transporters and enzymes. We aimed to establish a whole-body physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model which predicts disposition of CsA and nine victim drugs including atorvastatin, cerivastatin, pravastatin, rosuvastatin, fluvastatin, simvastatin, lovastatin, repaglinide and bosentan, as well as drug-drug interactions (DDIs) of CsA with nine victim drugs to investigate the integrated effect of enzymes and transporters in liver, intestinal and kidney on drug disposition. Predictions were compared with observations. Most of the predictions were within 0.5-2.0 folds of observations. Atorvastatin was represented to investigate individual contributions of transporters and CYP3As to atorvastatin disposition and their integrated effect. The contributions to atorvastatin disposition were hepatic OATPs >> hepatic CYP3A > intestinal CYP3As ≈ efflux transporters (P-gp/BCRP/MRP2). The results got the conclusion that the developed PBPK model characterizing the interplay of enzymes and transporters was successfully applied to predict the pharmacokinetics of 10 OATP substrates and DDIs of CsA with 9 victim drugs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins) lower cholesterol synthesis in patients with hypercholesterolemia. Increased statin exposure is an important risk factor for skeletal muscle toxicity. Potent inhibitors of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 significantly increase plasma concentrations of the active forms of simvastatin, lovastatin, and atorvastatin. Fluvastatin is metabolized by CYP2C9, whereas pravastatin, rosuvastatin, and pitavastatin are unaffected by inhibition by either CYP. Statins also have different affinities for membrane transporters involved in processes such as intestinal absorption, hepatic absorption, biliary excretion, and renal excretion. AREAS COVERED In this review, the pharmacokinetic aspects of drug-drug interactions with statins and genetic polymorphisms of CYPs and drug transporters involved in the pharmacokinetics of statins are discussed. EXPERT OPINION Understanding the mechanisms underlying statin interactions can help minimize drug interactions and reduce the adverse side effects caused by statins. Since recent studies have shown the involvement of drug transporters such as OATP and BCRP as well as CYPs in statin pharmacokinetics, further clinical studies focusing on the drug transporters are necessary. The establishment of biomarkers based on novel mechanisms, such as the leakage of microRNAs into the peripheral blood associated with the muscle toxicity, is important for the early detection of statin side effects.

Abstract
The drug-drug interaction profile of atorvastatin confirms that disposition is determined by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 and organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs). Drugs that affect gastric emptying, including dulaglutide, also affect atorvastatin pharmacokinetics (PK). Atorvastatin is a carboxylic acid that exists in equilibrium with a lactone form in vivo. The purpose of this work was to assess gastric acid-mediated lactone equilibration of atorvastatin and incorporate this into a physiologically-based PK (PBPK) model to describe atorvastatin acid, lactone, and their major metabolites. In vitro acid-to-lactone conversion was assessed in simulated gastric fluid and included in the model. The PBPK model was verified with in vivo data including CYP3A4 and OATP inhibition studies. Altering the gastric acid-lactone equilibrium reproduced the change in atorvastatin PK observed with dulaglutide. The model emphasizes the need to include gastric acid-lactone conversion and all major atorvastatin-related species for the prediction of atorvastatin PK.
