Abstract
Humans are exposed to numerous electrophilic chemicals either as medicines, in the workplace, in nature, or through use of many common cosmetic and household products. Covalent modification of human proteins by such chemicals, or protein haptenation, is a common occurrence in cells and may result in generation of antigenic species, leading to development of hypersensitivity reactions. Ranging in severity of symptoms from local cutaneous reactions and rhinitis to potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis and severe hypersensitivity reactions such as Stephen-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), all these reactions have the same Molecular Initiating Event (MIE), i.e. haptenation. However, not all individuals who are exposed to electrophilic chemicals develop symptoms of hypersensitivity. In the present review, we examine common chemistry behind the haptenation reactions leading to formation of neoantigens. We explore simple reactions involving single molecule additions to a nucleophilic side chain of proteins and complex reactions involving multiple electrophilic centers on a single molecule or involving more than one electrophilic molecule as well as the generation of reactive molecules from the interaction with cellular detoxification mechanisms. Besides generation of antigenic species and enabling activation of the immune system, we explore additional events which result directly from the presence of electrophilic chemicals in cells, including activation of key defense mechanisms and immediate consequences of those reactions, and explore their potential effects. We discuss the factors that work in concert with haptenation leading to the development of hypersensitivity reactions and those that may act to prevent it from developing. We also review the potential harnessing of the specificity of haptenation in the design of potent covalent therapeutic inhibitors.

Abstract
Drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) are type B adverse drug reactions (ADRs) traditionally defined as unpredictable, dose independent and not related to the drug pharmacology. DHRs, also called drug allergy if the immune system involvement is confirmed, represent around one-sixth of all ADRs and can cause major clinical problems due to their vague clinical presentation and irregular time course. Understanding the underlying pathophysiology of DHRs is very important for their diagnosis and management. Multiple layers of evidence exist pointing to the involvement of the immune system in DHRs. Recent data have led to a paradigm shift in our understanding of the exact pathophysiology of these reactions. Numerous hypotheses proposing explanation on how a low molecular weight drug molecule can elicit an immune reaction have been proposed. In addition to the classical "hapten" hypothesis, the reactive metabolite hypothesis, the pharmacological interaction with the immune system (p-i) concept, the danger/injury hypothesis and the altered peptide repertoire hypothesis have been proposed. We here introduce the inflammasome activation hypothesis and the cross-reactivity hypothesis as additional models explaining the pathophysiology of DHRs. Available data supporting these hypotheses are briefly summarized and discussed. We also introduced the cross-reactivity model, which may provide a platform to appreciate the potential role played by other factors leading to the activation of the immune system. We believe that although the drug in question could be the trigger of the reaction, the components of the immune system mediating the reaction do not act in isolation but rather are affected by the proinflammatory milieu occurring at the time of the reaction. This review attempts to summarize the available evidence to further illustrate the pathophysiology of DHRs.

Abstract
Immune-mediated type IV adverse drug reactions are idiosyncratic in nature, generally not related to the primary or secondary pharmacology of the drug. Due to their complex nature and rarity, these iatrogenic reactions are seldom predicted or encountered during preclinical/early clinical development stages, and often precipitate upon exposure to wider populations (i.e. phase III onwards). They confer a burden on the healthcare sector in both a clinical and financial sense presenting a severe impediment to the drug discovery and development process. Research over the past 50 years has improved our understanding of these reactions markedly as both in vitro and in vivo studies have placed the role of the immune system, in particular; drug-responsive T cells, firmly in the spotlight as the mediators of these reactions. Indeed, the role of different populations of T cells in adverse events and the interaction of drug molecules with HLA proteins expressed on the surface of antigen-presenting cells is of considerable interest. Herein, this review examines the pathways of immune-mediated adverse events including the various T cell subtypes implicated and the mechanisms of T cell activation. Additionally, we address the enigma of immunological tolerance and explore the role tolerance plays in determination of susceptibility to such adverse events even in individuals carrying immunogenic liabilities.

Abstract
Recently, the biotransformation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) by microalgae has attracted increasing interest. In particular, cytochrome P450 (CYP450) has been suggested to be the main enzymatic contributor to this biodegradation. However, the molecular evidence of CYP450 enzymes being involved in SMX biodegradation remains relatively unclear, hindering its applicability. Herein, the biodegradation of SMX by Chlorella sorokiniana (C. sorokiniana) was investigated, and comprehensively elucidated the reaction mechanism underlying CYP450-mediated SMX metabolism. C. sorokiniana was able to efficiently remove over 80% of SMX mainly through biodegradation, in which CYP450 enzymes responded substantially to metabolize SMX in cells. Additionally, screening of transformation products (TPs) revealed that N4-hydroxylation-SMX (TP270) was the main TP in the SMX biodegradation pathway of microalgae. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation suggested that the aniline of SMX was the most prone to undergo metabolism, while density functional theory (DFT) indicated that SMX was metabolized by CYP450 enzymes through H-abstraction-OH-rebound reaction. Collectively, this work reveals key details of the hydroxylamine group of SMX, elucidates the SMX biodegradation pathway involving CYP450 in microalgae in detail, and accelerates the development of using microalgae-mediated CYP450 to eliminate antibiotics.

Abstract
Drugs can activate different cells of the immune system and initiate an immune response that can lead to life-threatening diseases collectively known as severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs). Antibiotics, anticonvulsants, and antiretrovirals are involved in the development of SCARs by the activation of αβ naïve T-cells. However, other subsets of lymphocytes known as nonconventional T-cells with a limited T-cell receptor repertoire and innate and adaptative functions also recognize drugs and drug-like molecules, but their role in the pathogenesis of SCARs has only just begun to be explored. Despite 30 years of advances in our understanding of the mechanisms in which drugs interact with T-cells and the pathways for tissue injury seen during T-cell activation, at present, the development of useful clinical biomarkers for SCARs or predictive preclinical in vitro assays that could identify immunogenic moieties during drug discovery is an unmet goal. Therefore, the present review focuses on (i) advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis of SCARs reactions, (ii) a description of the interaction of drugs with conventional and nonconventional T-cells, and (iii) the current state of soluble blood circulating biomarker candidates for SCARs.

Abstract
Drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHR) are heterogeneous and unusual immune reactions with rather unique clinical presentations. Accumulating evidence indicates that certain non‐covalent drug‐protein interactions are able to elicit exclusively effector functions of antibody reactions or complete T‐cell reactions which contribute substantially to DHR. Here, we discuss three key interactions; (a) mimicry: whereby soluble, non‐covalent drug‐protein complexes (“fake antigens”) mimic covalent drug‐protein adducts; (b) increased antibody affinity: for example, in quinine‐type immune thrombocytopenia where the drug gets trapped between antibody and membrane‐bound glycoprotein; and (c) p‐i‐stimulation: where naïve and memory T cells are activated by direct binding of drugs to the human leukocyte antigen and/or T‐cell receptors. This transient drug‐immune receptor interaction initiates a polyclonal T‐cell response with mild‐to‐severe DHR symptoms. Notable complications arising from p‐i DHR can include viral reactivations, autoimmunity, and multiple drug hypersensitivity. In conclusion, DHR is characterized by abnormal immune stimulation driven by non‐covalent drug‐protein interactions. This contrasts DHR from “normal” immunity, which relies on antigen‐formation by covalent hapten‐protein adducts and predominantly results in asymptomatic immunity.

Abstract
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) is a hallmark genetic marker for the prediction of certain immune-mediated adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Numerous basic and clinical research studies have provided the evidence base to push forward the clinical implementation of HLA testing for the prevention of such ADRs in susceptible patients. This review explores current translational progress in using HLA as a key susceptibility factor for immune ADRs and highlights gaps in our knowledge. Furthermore, relevant findings of HLA-mediated drug-specific T cell activation are covered, focusing on cellular approaches to link genetic associations to drug-HLA binding as a complementary approach to understand disease pathogenesis. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Volume 62 is January 2022.

Abstract
The prediction of drug hypersensitivity is difficult due to the lack of appropriate models and known risk factors. In vitro naïve T-cell priming assays that assess immunogenicity have been developed. However, their application is limited due requirements for 2 batches of autologous dendritic cells (DC) and inconsistent results; a consequence of single well readouts when exploring reactions where compound-specific T-cell frequency is undefined. Hence, we aimed to develop an improved, but simplified assay, termed the T-cell multiple well assay (T-MWA), that permits assessment of drug-specific activation of naïve T cells, alongside analysis of the strength of the induced response and the number of cultures that respond. DC naïve T-cell coculture, depleted of regulatory T cells (Tregs), was conducted in up to 48 wells for 2 weeks with model haptens (nitroso sulfamethoxazole [SMX-NO], Bandrowski's base [BB], or piperacillin [PIP]). Cultures were rechallenged with hapten and T-cell proliferation was measured using [3H]-thymidine incorporation. Priming of naïve T cells was observed with SMX-NO, with no requirement for DC during restimulation. Greater than 65% of cultures were activated with SMX-NO; with 8.0%, 30.8%, and 27.2% characterized as weak (stimulation index [SI] =1.5-1.9), moderate (SI = 2-3.9), and strong responses (SI > 4), respectively. The number of responding cultures and strength of the response was reproducible when separate blood donations were compared. Coinhibitory checkpoint blockade increased the strength of the proliferative response, but not the number of responding cultures. Moderate to strong priming responses were detected with BB, whereas PIP stimulated only a small number of cultures to proliferate weakly. In drug-responsive cultures inducible CD4+CD25+FoxP3+CD127low Tregs were also identified. To conclude, the T-MWA offers improvements over existing assays and with development it could be used to study multiple HLA-typed donors in a single plate format.

Abstract
Mitigating the risk of drug hypersensitivity reactions is an important facet of a given pharmaceutical, with poor performance in this area of safety often leading to warnings, restrictions and withdrawals. In the last 50 years, efforts to diagnose, manage, and circumvent these obscure, iatrogenic diseases have resulted in the development of assays at all stages of a drugs lifespan. Indeed, this begins with intelligent lead compound selection/design to minimize the existence of deleterious chemical reactivity through exclusion of ominous structural moieties. Preclinical studies then investigate how compounds interact with biological systems, with emphasis placed on modeling immunological/toxicological liabilities. During clinical use, competent and accurate diagnoses are sought to effectively manage patients with such ailments, and pharmacovigilance datasets can be used for stratification of patient populations in order to optimise safety profiles. Herein, an overview of some of the in-vitro approaches to predict intrinsic immunogenicity of drugs and diagnose culprit drugs in allergic patients after exposure is detailed, with current perspectives and opportunities provided.

Abstract
HLA-B∗13:01 is associated with dapsone (DDS)-induced hypersensitivity, and it has been shown that CD4+ and CD8+ T cells are activated by DDS and its nitroso metabolite (nitroso dapsone [DDS-NO]). However, there is a need to define the importance of the HLA association in the disease pathogenesis. Thus, DDS- and DDS-NO‒specific CD8+ T-cell clones (TCCs) were generated from hypersensitive patients expressing HLA-B∗13:01 and were assessed for phenotype and function, HLA allele restriction, and killing of target cells. CD8+ TCCs were stimulated to proliferate and secrete effector molecules when exposed to DDS and/or DDS-NO. DDS-responsive and several DDS-NO‒responsive TCCs expressing a variety of TCR sequences displayed HLA class-I restriction, with the drug (metabolite) interacting with multiple HLA-B alleles. However, activation of certain DDS-NO‒responsive CD8+ TCCs was inhibited with HLA class-II block, with DDS-NO binding to HLA-DQB1∗05:01. These TCCs were of different origin but expressed TCRs displaying the same amino acid sequences. They were activated through a hapten pathway; displayed CD45RO, CD28, PD-1, and CTLA-4 surface molecules; secreted the same panel of effector molecules as HLA class-I‒restricted TCCs; but displayed a lower capacity to lyse target cells. To conclude, DDS and DDS-NO interact with a number of HLA molecules to activate CD8+ TCCs, with HLA class-II‒restricted CD8+ TCCs that display hybrid CD4‒CD8 features also contributing to the promiscuous immune response that develops in patients.

Abstract
Drug haptens are formed from the irreversible, covalent binding of drugs to nucleophilic moieties on proteins, which can warrant adverse reactions in the body including severe delayed-type, T-cell mediated, drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs). While three main pathways exist for the activation of T-cells in DHRs, namely the hapten model, the pharmacological interaction model and the altered peptide repertoire model, the exact antigenic determinants responsible have not yet been defined. In recent years, progress has been made using advanced mass spectrometry-based proteomic methods to identify protein carriers and characterise the structure of drug-haptenated proteins. Since genome-wide association studies discovered a link between human leukocyte antigens (HLA) and an individual's susceptibility to DHRs, much effort has been made to define the drug-associated HLA ligands driving T-cell activation, including the elution of natural HLA peptides from HLA molecules and the generation of HLA-binding peptides. In this review, we discuss our current methodology used to design and synthesise drug-modified HLA ligands to investigate their immunogenicity using T-cell models, and thus their implication in drug hypersensitivity.

Abstract
Biotransformation is one of the main mechanisms used by the body to eliminate drugs. As drug molecules become more complicated, the involvement of drug metabolizing enzymes increases beyond those that are typically studied, such as the cytochrome P450 enzymes. In this review, we try to capture the many outstanding articles that were published in the past year in the field of biotransformation (see Table 1). We have divided the articles into two categories of (1) metabolites and drug metabolizing enzymes, and (2) bioactivation and safety. This annual review is the fifth of its kind since 2016 (Baillie et al. 2016; Khojasteh et al. 2017, 2018, 2019). This effort in itself also continues to evolve. We have followed the same format we used in previous years in terms of the selection of articles and the authoring of each section. I am pleased of the continued support of Rietjens, Miller, Zhang, Driscoll and Mitra to this review. We would like to welcome Klarissa D. Jackson as a new author for this year's issue. We strive to maintain a balance of authors from academic and industry settings. We would be pleased to hear your opinions of our commentary, and we extend an invitation to anyone who would like to contribute to a future edition of this review. Cyrus Khojasteh, on behalf of the authors.
