Hu Y, Ye Z, Wu H, Chen X, Xia H, Cai JP, Hu GX, Xu RA. Functional assessment of CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms on the metabolism of clothianidin invitro. Chem Biol Interact 2024; 399:111154. [PMID: 39025286 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2024.111154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2024] [Revised: 07/03/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024]
Abstract
Clothianidin, classified as a second-generation neonicotinoid, has achieved extensive application due to its high efficacy against insect pests. This broad-spectrum usage has resulted in its frequent detection in environmental surveys. CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 are crucial for converting clothianidin to desmethyl-clothianidin (dm-clothianidin). The expression of these CYP450s can be significantly influenced by genetic polymorphisms. The objective of our research was to examine the catalytic effects of 27 CYP3A4 variants and 31 CYP2C19 variants on the metabolism of clothianidin within recombinant insect microsomes. These variants were assessed through a well-established incubation procedure. In addition, the concentration of its metabolite dm-clothianidin was quantified by employing an ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Lastly, the kinetic parameters of these CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 variants were calculated by applying Michaelis-Menten kinetic analysis to fit the data. The observed changes in enzyme activity were related to the metabolic transformation of clothianidin to dm-clothianidin. In the CYP2C19 metabolic pathway, one variant (CYP2C19.23) showed no notable change in intrinsic clearance (CLint), four variants (CYP2C19.29, .30, .31 and L16F) demonstrated a marked increase in CLint (110.86-183.46 %), and the remaining 25 variants exhibited a considerable decrease in CLint (26.38-89.79 %), with a maximum decrease of 73.62 % (CYP2C19.6). In the CYP3A4 metabolic pathway, 26 variants demonstrated significantly reduced CLint (10.54-52.52 %), with a maximum decrease of 89.46 % (CYP3A4.20). Our results suggested that most variants of CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 significantly altered the enzymatic activities associated with clothianidin metabolism to various degrees. This study provides new insights into assessing the metabolic behavior of pesticides and delivers crucial data that can guide clinical detoxification strategies.

Fuss extract employing experimentally ovariectomized rat model and network pharmacology approach. Fitoterapia 2024; 175:105971. [PMID: 38663562 DOI: 10.1016/j.fitote.2024.105971] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/30/2024]
Abstract
One of the most prevalent secondary osteoporosis is ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis. Parsley (Petroselinum crispum) has potent estrogenic and antioxidant properties and was used traditionally in the treatment of amenorrhea and dysmenorrhea. The present study aimed to characterize parsley leaf extract (PLE) employing RP-HPLC-MS-MS/MS-based method and possible protective effect in ovariectomized (OVX)-induced osteoporosis in rats was assessed. Rats were randomly assigned into SHAM group, OVX group, PLE + OVX group (150 mg/kg/day, p.o), and estradiol benzoate (E2) + OVX group (30 μg/kg/day, s.c). After eight weeks following ovariectomy, biomarkers of bone strength, bone resorption, oxidative stress and histopathology were carried out. A network pharmacology approach investigated the key targets and potential mechanisms by of PLE metabolites against osteoporosis using databases: PubChem, BindingDB server, DisGeNET, ShinyGO, and KEGG Pathway. Moreover, FunRich 3.1.3, Cytoscape 3.10.0, and MOE 2019.0102 softwares were used for network pharmacology analysis and molecular docking studies. Flavones and hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives were predominant among 38 metabolites in PLE. It significantly restored bone strength and bone resorption biomarkers, osteocalcin (OST), oxidative stress biomarkers and histopathological alterations. The employed network pharmacology approach revealed that 14 primary target genes were associated with decreasing the severity of osteoporosis. Molecular docking revealed that cGMP-PKG signaling pathway has the highest fold enrichment and its downstream PDE5A. Luteolin, diosmetin, and isorhamnetin derivatives affected mostly osteoporosis targets. PLE exhibited protective action against ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis in rats and may be a promising therapy for premenopausal bone loss. cGMP-PKG signaling pathway could be a promising target for PLE in treating osteoporosis.

Abstract
Aim: The association between cytochrome P450 (CYP) gene polymorphisms and anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity (ATDH) was investigated in patients with or without pre-existing liver diseases (PLD). Materials & methods: We followed 164 tuberculosis subjects, 58 with PLD and 106 without PLD. Polymorphisms in CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 were analyzed using the TaqMan® SNP genotyping assay.Results: The CYP3A4*18 heterozygous genotype was associated with ATDH (OR: 3.24, 95% CI: 1.06-9.86) regardless of PLD presence. Among subjects without PLD, CYP3A4*18 heterozygotes had significantly higher ATDH risk (OR: 9.10, 95% CI: 1.56-53.16). Conversely, in the PLD group, CYP3A4*18 heterozygotes had lower ATDH risk (OR: 0.21, 95% CI: 0.05-0.98).Conclusion: CYP3A4*18 genotype is linked to ATDH in tuberculosis patients, with differential effects based on PLD presence.

Abstract
Clinical investigation of emvododstat for the treatment of solid tumors was halted after two patients who were heavily treated with other anticancer therapies experienced drug-induced liver failure. However, preclinical investigations supported that emvododstat at lower doses might be effective in treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and against severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 as a dihydroorotate dehydrogenase inhibitor. Therefore, a quantitative systems toxicology model, DILIsym, was used to predict liver safety of the proposed dosing of emvododstat in AML clinical trials. In vitro mechanistic toxicity data of emvododstat and its desmethyl metabolite were integrated with in vivo exposure within DILIsym to predict hepatotoxicity responses in a simulated human population. DILIsym simulations predicted alanine aminotransferase elevations observed in prior emvododstat clinical trials in patients with solid tumors, but not in the prospective AML clinical trial with the proposed dosing regimens. Exposure predictions based on physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling suggested that reduced doses of emvododstat would produce clinical exposures that would be efficacious to treat AML. In the AML clinical trial, only eight patients experienced aminotransferase elevations, all of which were mild (grade 1), all resolving within a short period of time, and no patient showed symptoms of hepatotoxicity, confirming the prospective prediction of liver safety. Overall, retrospective DILIsym simulations adequately predicted the liver safety liabilities of emvododstat in solid tumor trials and prospective simulations predicted the liver safety of reduced doses in an AML clinical trial. The modeling was critical to enabling regulatory approval to proceed with the AML clinical trial wherein the predicted liver safety was confirmed.

Abstract
Rickets is a childhood disorder of vitamin D deficiency that is characterized by growth retardation and impairment in skeletal mineralization. Vitamin D deficiency is usually due to decreased dietary vitamin D intake, decreased sunlight exposure, or genetic defects. A recurrent gain-of-function missense mutation (p.I301T) in the gene encoding CYP3A4 has been identified as a cause of excessive inactivation of vitamin D metabolites that causes vitamin D-dependent rickets type 3 (VDDR3). We hereby report a case of a six-year-old girl with poor growth and bone deformities, such as genu valgum. In addition, the patient has a strong family history of short stature and bone deformities. She continues to receive multidisciplinary care, and the finding of a heterozygous missense variant in CYP3A4: c.902 T > C; p.Ile301Thr in the CYP3A4 gene confirms the diagnosis of VDDR3. To our knowledge, this is the first case to be reported in Saudi Arabia and the fourth case in the literature. Our findings highlight the importance of vitamin D in those with high activity in CYP3A4 to maintain vitamin D hemostasis, and we need to reach optimal doses to help them maintain their biochemical and radiological finding within the normal range.

Abstract
Awareness of drug interactions involving opioids is critical for patient treatment as they are common therapeutics used in numerous care settings, including both chronic and disease-related pain. Not only do opioids have narrow therapeutic indexes and are extensively used, but they have the potential to cause severe toxicity. Opioids are the classical pain treatment for patients who suffer from moderate to severe pain. More importantly, opioids are often prescribed in combination with multiple other drugs, especially in patient populations who typically are prescribed a large drug regimen. This review focuses on the current knowledge of common opioid drug-drug interactions (DDIs), focusing specifically on hydrocodone, oxycodone, and morphine DDIs. The DDIs covered in this review include pharmacokinetic DDI arising from enzyme inhibition or induction, primarily due to inhibition of cytochrome p450 enzymes (CYPs). However, opioids such as morphine are metabolized by uridine-5'-diphosphoglucuronosyltransferases (UGTs), principally UGT2B7, and glucuronidation is another important pathway for opioid-drug interactions. This review also covers several pharmacodynamic DDI studies as well as the basics of CYP and UGT metabolism, including detailed opioid metabolism and the potential involvement of metabolizing enzyme gene variation in DDI. Based upon the current literature, further studies are needed to fully investigate and describe the DDI potential with opioids in pain and related disease settings to improve clinical outcomes for patients. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: A review of the literature focusing on drug-drug interactions involving opioids is important because they can be toxic and potentially lethal, occurring through pharmacodynamic interactions as well as pharmacokinetic interactions occurring through inhibition or induction of drug metabolism.

Abstract
AIM Ibuprofen is the most commonly used analgesic. CYP polymorphisms are mainly responsible for the differences in drug metabolism among individuals. Variations in the ability of populations to metabolize ibuprofen can lead to drug exposure events. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 polymorphisms on ibuprofen metabolism in a Chinese population. METHODS First, 31 CYP2C19 and 12 CYP3A4 microsomal enzymes were identified using an insect expression system. Then, variants were evaluated using a mature incubation system. Moreover, ibuprofen metabolite content was determined via ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis. Finally, kinetic parameters of CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 genotypes were determined via Michaelis-Menten curve fitting. RESULTS Most variants exhibited significantly altered intrinsic clearance compared to the wild type. In the CYP2C19 metabolic pathway, seven variants exhibited no significant alterations in intrinsic clearance (CLint), six variants exhibited significantly high CLint (121-291%), and the remaining 15 variants exhibited substantially reduced CLint (1-71%). In the CYP3A4 metabolic pathway, CYP3A4*30 was not detected in the metabolite content due to the absence of activity, and 10 variants exhibited significantly reduced CLint. CONCLUSION To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to assess the kinetic characteristics of 31 CYP2C19 and 12 CYP3A4 genotypes on ibuprofen metabolism. However, further studies are needed on poor metabolizers as they are more susceptible to drug exposure. Our findings suggest that the kinetic characteristics in combination with artificial intelligence to predict the toxicity of ibuprofen and reduce any adverse drug reactions.

Abstract
Novel cytochrome P450 3A5 (CYP3A5) cDNA in tree shrews (which are non-rodent primate-like species) and pig CYP3A227 cDNA were identified, along with known pig CYP3A22, CYP3A29, and CYP3A46 cDNAs. All five cDNAs contained open reading frames encoding a polypeptide of 503 amino acids that shared high sequence identity (72-78 %) with human CYP3A4 and were more closely related to human CYP3As than rat CYP3As by phylogenetic analysis. CYP3A5 was the only CYP3A in the tree shrew genome, but pig CYP3A genes formed a CYP3A gene cluster in the genomic region corresponding to that of human CYP3A genes. Tree shrew CYP3A5 mRNA was predominantly expressed in liver and small intestine, among the tissues analyzed, whereas pig CYP3A227 mRNA was most abundantly expressed in jejunum, followed by liver. Metabolic assays established that tree shrew CYP3A5 and pig CYP3A proteins heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli metabolized typical human CYP3A4 substrates nifedipine and midazolam. These results suggest that novel tree shrew CYP3A5 and pig CYP3A227 were functional enzymes able to metabolize human CYP3A4 substrates in liver and small intestine, similar to human CYP3A4, although pig CYP3A227 mRNA was minimally expressed in all tissues analyzed.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of CYP3A4 genetic polymorphisms on the metabolism of cyclosporine (CsA) in vitro and identify drugs that interact with CsA. An enzymatic incubation system was developed to evaluate the kinetic parameters of CYP3A4 on CsA catalysis. A total of 132 drugs were screened to identify potential drug-drug interactions. Sprague-Dawley rats were used to determine the interaction between CsA and nimodipine and nisoldipine. The metabolite AM1 was measured by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The results demonstrate that 16 CYP3A4 variants (CYP3A4.7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 19, 23, 24, 28, 31, 32, 33, and 34) have a lower metabolic capacity for CsA, ranging from 7.19% to 72.10%, than CYP3A4.1. In contrast, the relative clearance rate of CYP3A4.5 is significantly higher than that of CYP3A4.1. Moreover, CYP3A4.20 loses its catalytic ability, and five other variants have no significant difference. A total of 12 drugs, especially calcium channel blockers, were found to remarkably inhibit the metabolism of CsA with an inhibitory rate of over 80%. Nimodipine inhibits the activity of CsA in rat liver microsomes with an IC50 of 20.54 ± 0.93 μM, while nisoldipine has an IC50 of 16.16 ± 0.78 μM. In in vivo, three groups of Sprague-Dawley rats were administered CsA with or without nimodipine or nisoldipine; the AUC(0-t) and AUC(0-∞) of CsA were significantly increased in the nimodipine group but not obviously in the nisoldipine group. Mechanistically, the inhibition mode of nimodipine on cyclosporine metabolism is a mixed inhibition. Our data show that gene polymorphisms of CYP3A4 and nimodipine remarkably affect the metabolism of CsA, thus providing a reference for the precise administration of CsA.

Abstract
Pyrotinib, a novel irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor dual tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is mainly (about 90%) eliminated through cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A mediated metabolism in vivo. Meanwhile, genotype is a key factor affecting pyrotinib clearance and 4β-hydroxycholesterol is an endogenous biomarker of CYP3A activity that can indirectly reflect the possible pyrotinib exposure. Thus, it is necessary to evaluate the clinical drug-drug interactions (DDI) between CYP3A perpetrators and pyrotinib, understand potential exposure in specific populations including liver impairment and geriatric populations, and explore the possible relationships among pyrotinib exposure, genotypes and endogenous biomarker. Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model can be used to replace prospective DDI studies and evaluate external and internal factors that may influence system exposure. Herein, a basic PBPK model was firstly developed to evaluate the potential risk of pyrotinib coadministration with strong inhibitor and guide the clinical trial design. Subsequently, the mechanistic PBPK model was established and used to quantitatively estimate the potential DDI risk for other CYP3A modulators, understand the potential exposure of specific populations, including liver impairment and geriatric populations. Meanwhile, the possible relationships among pyrotinib exposure, genotypes and endogenous biomarker were explored. With the help of PBPK model, the DDI clinical trial of pyrotinib coadministration with strong inhibitor has been successfully completed, some DDI clinical trials may be waived based on the predicted results and clinical trials in specific populations can be reasonably designed. Moreover, the mutant genotypes of CYP3A4*18A and CYP3A5*3 were likely to have a limited influence on pyrotinib clearance, and the genotype-independent linear correlation coefficient between endogenous biomarker and system exposure was larger than 0.6. Therefore, based on the reliable predicted results and the linear correlations between pyrotinib exposure and endogenous biomarker, dosage adjustment of pyrotinib can be designed for clinical practice.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) subfamily enzymes are involved in the metabolism of 40% of drugs in clinical use. Twin studies have indicated that 66% of the variability in CYP3A4 activity is hereditary. Yet, the complexity of the CYP3A locus and the lack of distinct drug metabolizer phenotypes has limited the identification and clinical application of CYP3A genetic variants compared to other Cytochrome P450 enzymes. In recent years evidence has emerged indicating that a substantial part of the missing heritability is caused by low frequency genetic variation. In this review, we outline the current pharmacogenomics knowledge of CYP3A activity and discuss potential future directions to improve our genetic knowledge and ability to explain CYP3A variability.

Abstract
Novel drug development is a time-consuming process with relatively high debilitating costs. To overcome this problem, computational drug repositioning approaches are being used to predict the possible therapeutic scaffolds against different diseases. In the current study, computational drug repositioning approaches were employed to fetch the promising drugs from the pool of FDA-approved drugs against Ewing sarcoma. The binding interaction patterns and conformational behaviors of screened drugs within the active region of Ewing sarcoma protein (EWS) were confirmed through molecular docking profiles. Furthermore, pharmacogenomics analysis was employed to check the possible associations of selected drugs with Ewing sarcoma genes. Moreover, the stability behavior of selected docked complexes (drugs-EWS) was checked by molecular dynamics simulations. Taken together, astemizole, sulfinpyrazone, and pranlukast exhibited a result comparable to pazopanib and can be used as a possible therapeutic agent in the treatment of Ewing sarcoma.

Abstract
Vitamin D has received considerable optimistic attention as a potentially important factor in many pathological states over the past few decades. However, the proportion of the active form of vitamin D metabolites responsible for biological activity is highly questionable in disease states due to flexible alterations in the enzymes responsible for their metabolism. For instance, CYP3A4 plays a crucial role in the biotransformation of vitamin D and other drug substances. Food-drug and/or drug-drug interactions, the disease state, genetic polymorphism, age, sex, diet, and environmental factors all influence CYP3A4 activity. Genetic polymorphisms in CYP450-encoding genes have received considerable attention in the past few decades due to their extensive impact on the pharmacokinetic and dynamic properties of drugs and endogenous substances. In this review, we focused on CYP3A4 polymorphisms and their interplay with vitamin D metabolism and summarized the role of vitamin D in calcium homeostasis, bone diseases, diabetes, cancer, other diseases, and drug substances. We also reviewed clinical observations pertaining to CYP3A4 polymorphisms among the aforementioned disease conditions. In addition, we highlighted the future perspectives of studying the pharmacogenetics of CYP3A4, which may have potential clinical significance for developing novel diagnostic genetic markers that will ascertain disease risk and progression.

Abstract
1. Olanzapine is an atypical antipsychotic primarily used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. An intronic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that highly significantly predicts increased olanzapine clearance (rs472660) was previously identified in the CYP3A43 gene, which encodes a cytochrome P450 enzyme. But until now there was no experimental evidence for the metabolism of olanzapine by the CYP3A43 enzyme.2. In the present study we provide this evidence, together with a thorough analysis of olanzapine metabolism by all human CYP3A enzymes. We also rationalize our findings by molecular docking experiments. Moreover, we describe the activities of several CYP3A43 mutants and present the first enzymatic activity data for the CYP3A43.3 variant; with respect to prostate cancer, this polymorphic variant is associated with both increased risk and increased mortality. The catalytic properties of the wild type enzyme and the tumor mutant were analyzed by molecular dynamics simulations, which fit very well with the observed experimental results.3. Our finding suggests that the SNP rs472660 likely causes an increased CYP3A43 expression level and demonstrate that, depending on the substrate under study, the tumor mutant CYP3A43.3 can have increased activity in comparison to the wild type enzyme CYP3A43.1.

Abstract
PURPOSE The full potential of methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) is often limited by the large inter-individual variability in both pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD), and by the risk of torsade de pointes, a severe adverse effect caused by QTc prolongation. The current study aims to quantitate the contribution of genetic polymorphisms and other variables in PK/PD variability, and their contribution to the QTc interval prolongation in Chinese MMT patients. METHODS Population PK models were developed to fit (R)- and (S)-methadone PK data. Hierarchical models were tested to characterize the PK profile, the concentration-QTc relationship, and concentration-urinalysis illicit drug testing relationship, with demographics and genetic variants being included as covariates. Simulation based on the developed PK/PD models was performed to assess the effect of methadone dose and genetic variants on QTc interval prolongation. RESULTS The PK data were best-fit by a one-compartment, first-order absorption model. Clearance of (R)- and (S)-methadone was both affected by the weighted activity score derived from genetic variants. A linear model was used to describe both the methadone concentration-urinalysis illicit drug testing relationship and the methadone concentration-QTc relationship. Concentration of (R)- and (S)-methadone exhibits a comparable effect on QTc prolongation. Simulation showed that the percentage of QTc higher than 450 ms was almost doubled in the lowest clearance group as compared the highest when methadone dose was greater than 120 mg. CONCLUSIONS The large variability in PK/PD profiles can be partially explained by the genetic variants in an extent different from other population, which confirmed the necessity to conduct such a study in the specific Chinese patients.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the enzymatic properties of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) variants and their ability to metabolize vandetanib (VNT) in vitro, and to study potential drug interactions in combination with VNT. METHOD Recombinant CYP3A4 cell microsomes were prepared using a Bac-to-Bac baculovirus expression system. Enzymatic reactions were carried out, and the metabolites were determined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). RESULTS The activities of 27 CYP3A4 variants were determined to assess the degree of VNT metabolism that occurred. Analysis indicated that there was enhanced intrinsic clearance (Vmax/Km, CLint) for eight variants (CYP3A4.2, 3, 9, 15, 16, 29, 32, and 33), while there was a significant decrease in CYP3A4.5, 7, 8, 10-14, 17-20, 23, 24, 28, 31, and 34. Compared with CYP3A4.1, no significant differences were found for CYP3A4.6 and 30. Furthermore, the relative clearances were compared between VNT and cabozantinib, which were all metabolized by CYP3A4 with the same indications. When combined with ketoconazole, which is a CYP inhibitor, obvious differences were observed in the potency of VNT between different variants, including CYP3A4.2, 15, and 18. CONCLUSION This comprehensive assessment of CYP3A4 variants provides significant insights into the allele-specific metabolism of VNT and drug interactions in vitro. We hope that these comprehensive data will provide references and predictions for the clinical application of VNT.

Abstract
AIM We aimed (i) to study the effects of genetic polymorphism of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) and drug interactions on acalabrutinib (ACA) metabolism and (ii) to investigate the mechanisms underlying the effects of CYP3A4 variants on the differential kinetic profiles of ACA and ibrutinib. METHOD Recombinant human CYP3A4 and variants were expressed using a Bac-to-Bac baculovirus expression system. The cell microsome was prepared and subjected to kinetic study. The analyte concentrations were determined by UPLC-MS/MS. A molecular docking assay was employed to investigate the mechanisms leading to differences in kinetic profiles. RESULTS The kinetic parameters of ACA, catalyzed by CYP3A4 and 28 of its variants, were determined, including Vmax, Km, and Ksi. CYP3A4.6-8, 12, 13, 17, 18, 20, and 30 lost their catalytic function. No significant differences were found for CYP3A4.4, 5, 10, 15, 31, and 34 compared with CYP3A4.1 with respect to intrinsic clearance (Vmax/Km, Clint). However, the Clint values of CYP3A4.9, 14, 16, 19, 23, 24, 28, 32 were obviously decreased, ranging from 0.02 to 0.05 μL/min/pmol. On the contrary, the catalytic activities of CYP3A4.2, 3, 11, 29, and 33 were increased dramatically. The Clint value of CYP3A4.11 was 5.95 times as high as that of CYP3A4.1. Subsequently, CYP3A4.1, 3, 11, 23, and 28 were chosen to study the kinetic changes in combination with ketoconazole. Interestingly, we found the inhibitory potency of ketoconazole varied in different variants. In addition, the kinetic parameters of ibrutinib and ACA were accordingly compared in different CYP3A4 variants. Significant differences in relative clearance were observed among variants, which would probably influence the distance between the redox site and the heme iron atom. CONCLUSION Genetic polymorphism of CYP3A4 extensively changes its ACA-metabolizing enzymatic activity. In combination with a CYP inhibitor, its inhibitory potency also varied among different variants. Even the same variants exhibited different capabilities catalyzing ACA. Its enzymatic capabilities are probably determined by the distance between the substrate and the heme iron atom, which could be impacted by mutation.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 is one of the major drug-metabolizing enzymes. Genetic variants of CYP3A4 with altered activity are one of the factors responsible for interindividual differences in drug metabolism. Azole antifungals inhibit CYP3A4 to cause clinically significant drug-drug interactions. In the present quantitative study, we investigated the inhibitory effects of three azole antifungals (ketoconazole, voriconazole, and fluconazole) on testosterone metabolism by recombinant CYP3A4 genetic variants (CYP3A4.1 (WT), CYP3A4.2, CYP3A4.7, CYP3A4.16, and CYP3A4.18) and compared them with those previously reported for itraconazole. The inhibition constants (Ki) of ketoconazole, voriconazole, and fluconazole for rCYP3A4.1 were 3.6 nM, 3.2 μM, and 16.1 μM, respectively. The Ki values of these azoles for rCYP3A4.16 were 13.9-, 13.6-, and 6.2-fold higher than those for rCYP3A4.1, respectively, whereas the Ki value of itraconazole for rCYP3A4.16 was 0.54-fold of that for rCYP3A4.1. The other genetic variants had similar effects on the Ki values of the three azoles, whereas a very different pattern was seen for itraconazole. In conclusion, itraconazole has unique characteristics that are distinct from those shared by the other azole anti-fungal drugs ketoconazole, voriconazole, and fluconazole with regard to the influence of genetic variations on the inhibition of CYP3A4.

Abstract
As a new atypical antipsychotic, brexpiprazole is primarily metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). However, genetic polymorphisms in CYP3A4 cause wide variability in individuals' responses to brexpiprazole, leading to unpredictable adverse side effects or even therapeutic failure. The present study was designed to systematically study the effects of 26 recombinant CYP3A4 variants on the metabolism of brexpiprazole and investigate their enzymatic activity. Wild-type CYP3A4 and the 26 variants were incubated with the substrate brexpiprazole for 30 min at 37 °C. The metabolite DM-3411 was detected using ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The activity of the wild-type CYP3A4 and 26 of its variants was analyzed. Then, the mechanism underlying the changes in enzyme function was observed using molecular dynamics simulations and molecular docking. Compared with CYP3A4.1, the enzymatic activities of CYP3A4.19, -.24, and -.28 were not significantly different (from 91.82% to 96.25%), but CYP3A4.14 and CYP3A4.15 exhibited higher enzyme activity (from 117.9 to 127.5%). The remaining 21 isoforms, including CYP3A4.2, -.3, -.4, -.5, -.7, -.8, -.9, -.10, -.11, -.12, -.13, -.16, -.17, -.18, -.20, -.23, -.29, -.31, -.32, -.33 and -.34, displayed lower enzymatic activities (from 2.90% to 75.72%). The results obtained from computer modeling indicated that weak binding affinity impaired the function of CYP3A4.32. Mutations that occur around the active site might lead to a loss of enzymatic activity, while the variants located far away from the active site perhaps had little effect on function of CYP3A4. These comprehensive data provide a reference and prediction for treatment strategies and risk assessments of brexpiprazole.

Lack of Influence by CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 Genotypes on Pain Relief by Hydrocodone in Postoperative Cesarean Section Pain Management. J Appl Lab Med 2019; 3:954-964. [DOI: 10.1373/jalm.2018.026070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2018] [Accepted: 07/13/2018] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Abstract
Background
Genetic polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 are contributors to variability in individual response to drugs. Within the P450 family, CYP2D6 is responsible for metabolizing hydrocodone, a widely prescribed opioid for pain management. Alternatively, CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 can form norhydrocodone and dihydrocodeine. We have previously found that in a postcesarean section cohort, the rate of hydromorphone formation was dependent on the genotype of CYP2D6 and that plasma hydromorphone, not hydrocodone, was predictive of pain relief.
Method
Blood was obtained from a postcesarean cohort that were surveyed for pain response and common side effects. Plasma samples were genotyped for CYP3A4/5, and their hydrocodone concentrations were measured by LC-MS. R statistical software was used to check for differences in the outcomes due to CYP3A4/5 and CYP2D6, and a multivariate regression model was fit to determine factors associated with pain score.
Results
Two-way ANOVA between CYP3A4/A5 and CYP2D6 phenotypes revealed that the former variants did not have a statistical significance on the outcomes, and only CYP2D6 phenotypes had a significant effect on total dosage (P = 0.041). Furthermore, a 3-way ANOVA analysis showed that CYP2D6 (P = 0.036) had a predictive effect on plasma hydromorphone concentrations, and CYP3A4/A5 did not have any effect on the measured outcomes.
Conclusions
With respect to total dosages in a cesarean section population, these results confirm that CYP2D6 phenotypes are predictors for plasma hydromorphone concentration and pain relief, but CYP3A4/A5 phenotypes have no influence on pain relief or on side effects.

Abstract
The Cytochrome P450 family of heme-containing proteins plays a major role in catalyzing phase I metabolic reactions, and the CYP3A4 subtype is responsible for the metabolism of many currently marketed drugs. Additionally, CYP3A4 has an inherent affinity for a broad spectrum of structurally diverse chemical entities, often leading to drug-drug interactions mediated by the inhibition or induction of the metabolic enzyme. The current study explores the binding of selected highly efficient CYP3A4 inhibitors by docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation protocols and their binding free energy calculated using the WaterSwap method. The results indicate the importance of binding pocket residues including Phe57, Arg105, Arg106, Ser119, Arg212, Phe213, Thr309, Ser312, Ala370, Arg372, Glu374, Gly481 and Leu483 for interaction with CYP3A4 inhibitors. The residue-wise decomposition of the binding free energy from the WaterSwap method revealed the importance of binding site residues Arg106 and Arg372 in the stabilization of all the selected CYP3A4-inhibitor complexes. The WaterSwap binding energies were further complemented with the MM(GB/PB)SA results and it was observed that the binding energies calculated by both methods do not differ significantly. Overall, our results could guide towards the use of multiple computational approaches to achieve a better understanding of CYP3A4 inhibition, subsequently leading to the design of highly specific and efficient new chemical entities with suitable ADMETox properties and reduced side effects.

Abstract
CYP3A enzymes are involved in the metabolism of calcineurin inhibitor tacrolimus as well as vitamin D. In this review, we summarize the clinical aspects of CYP3A-mediated metabolism of tacrolimus and vitamin D with emphasis on the influence of single-nucleotide polymorphisms on tacrolimus disposition. We describe the utility of 4β hydroxycholesterol as a marker of CYP3A activity. Then, we discuss the possible interaction between calcineurin inhibitors and vitamin D in solid organ transplant recipients. Also, we review other mechanisms which may contribute to side effects of calcineurin inhibitors on bone. Lastly, suggestions for future research and clinical perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) enzyme activity is known to show considerable ethnic heterogeneity and inter-individual differences, affecting the outcome of drug treatment. CYP3A4 genetic polymorphisms are believed to be one of the important causes, leading to inter-individual variability in drug metabolism. Quinine is an antipyretic drug with antimalarial properties that is metabolized primarily by CYP3A4. Quinine 3-hydroxylation has been proven as a biomarker reaction for evaluating CYP3A4 ability. Quinine has frequent adverse effects and there are distinct inter-individual differences in quinine sensitivity. The open reading frame for 30 CYP3A4 allelic variants were constructed from wild-type CYP3A4*1A by an overlap extension polymerase chain reaction. Recombinant CYP3A4 variants were expressed using baculovirus-insect cell expression system, and their catalytic activities towards quinine hydroxylation were determined and evaluated. Of the 30 CYP3A4 allelic variants, 23 variants exhibited significantly reduced intrinsic clearance towards quinine, 2 variants showed increased intrinsic clearance for quinine, 2 variants possessed no significant differences towards quinine, compared with CYP3A4*1A, and 3 variants had no detected expression and enzyme activity. Our assessment on the enzymatic activities of CYP3A4 variants towards quinine may contribute to laying an experimental foundation for further clinical studies so as to accelerate the process of determining the associations between genetic variations and clinical phenotypes.

Abstract
Genetic forms of vitamin D-dependent rickets (VDDRs) are due to mutations impairing activation of vitamin D or decreasing vitamin D receptor responsiveness. Here we describe two unrelated patients with early-onset rickets, reduced serum levels of the vitamin D metabolites 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and deficient responsiveness to parent and activated forms of vitamin D. Neither patient had a mutation in any genes known to cause VDDR; however, using whole exome sequencing analysis, we identified a recurrent de novo missense mutation, c.902T>C (p.I301T), in CYP3A4 in both subjects that alters the conformation of substrate recognition site 4 (SRS-4). In vitro, the mutant CYP3A4 oxidized 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D with 10-fold greater activity than WT CYP3A4 and 2-fold greater activity than CYP24A1, the principal inactivator of vitamin D metabolites. As CYP3A4 mutations have not previously been linked to rickets, these findings provide insight into vitamin D metabolism and demonstrate that accelerated inactivation of vitamin D metabolites represents a mechanism for vitamin D deficiency.

Abstract
Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is a common epileptic disorder; little is known whether it is associated with peripheral epigenetic changes. Here we compared blood whole genomic DNA methylation pattern in MTLE patients (n = 30) relative to controls (n = 30) with the Human Methylation 450 K BeadChip assay, and explored genes and pathways that were differentially methylated using bioinformatics profiling. The MTLE and control groups showed significantly different (P < 1.03e-07) DNA methylation at 216 sites, with 164 sites involved hyper- and 52 sites hypo- methylation. Two hyper- and 32 hypo-methylated sites were associated with promoters, while 87 hyper- and 43 hypo-methylated sites corresponded to coding regions. The differentially methylated genes were largely related to pathways predicted to participate in anion binding, oxidoreductant activity, growth regulation, skeletal development and drug metabolism, with the most distinct ones included SLC34A2, CLCN6, CLCA4, CYP3A43, CYP3A4 and CYP2C9. Among the MTLE patients, panels of genes also appeared to be differentially methylated relative to disease duration, resistance to anti-epileptics and MRI alterations of hippocampal sclerosis. The peripheral epigenetic changes observed in MTLE could be involved in certain disease-related modulations and warrant further translational investigations.

Abstract
Human cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is a major hepatic and intestinal enzyme that oxidizes more than 60% of administered therapeutics. Knowledge of how CYP3A4 adjusts and reshapes the active site to regioselectively oxidize chemically diverse compounds is critical for better understanding structure-function relations in this important enzyme, improving the outcomes for drug metabolism predictions, and developing pharmaceuticals that have a decreased ability to undergo metabolism and cause detrimental drug-drug interactions. However, there is very limited structural information on CYP3A4-substrate interactions available to date. Despite the vast variety of drugs undergoing metabolism, only the sedative midazolam (MDZ) serves as a marker substrate for the in vivo activity assessment because it is preferentially and regioselectively oxidized by CYP3A4. We solved the 2.7 Å crystal structure of the CYP3A4-MDZ complex, where the drug is well defined and oriented suitably for hydroxylation of the C1 atom, the major site of metabolism. This binding mode requires H-bonding to Ser119 and a dramatic conformational switch in the F-G fragment, which transmits to the adjacent D, E, H, and I helices, resulting in a collapse of the active site cavity and MDZ immobilization. In addition to providing insights on the substrate-triggered active site reshaping (an induced fit), the crystal structure explains the accumulated experimental results, identifies possible effector binding sites, and suggests why MDZ is predominantly metabolized by the CYP3A enzyme subfamily.

Abstract
Renal transplantation is the treatment of choice for the patients with end-stage renal failure. Genetic factors, among others, can influence variability in response to immunosuppressive drugs. Nowadays, due to restrictive health resources, the question arises whether routine pharmacogenetic analyses should be done in the renal transplant recipients or not. The aim of this literature review was to present the up-to-date information considering the economic feasibility of pharmacogenetic testing in patients subjected to renal transplantation. The organization United Network for Organ Sharing in the US estimated that total costs per renal transplant concerning these analyses were $334,300 in 2014. Pharmacogenetic testing prior to treatment initiation could be helpful to predict and assess treatment response and the risks for adverse drug reactions. This kind of testing before treatment initiation seems to be one of the most promising applications of pharmacokinetics. Although pharmacogenetic tests were found to be a cost-effective or cost-saving strategy in many cases, some authors represent another opinion. However, if the real costs of renal transplantation are recognized, the application of these tests in the standard daily practice could be considered more realistic, which additionally emphasizes the importance of future studies assessing their cost effectiveness.

Abstract
Introduction and objective Polymorphisms in genes encoding drug metabolizing enzymes may lead to varied enzyme activity and inter-individual variability in drug efficacy and/or toxicity. Since CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 genes code for enzymes involved in metabolizing wide variety of drugs including proton pump inhibitors, we sought to identify polymorphisms in these genes in order to study their impact on drug metabolism in subjects. Methods DNA was isolated from healthy individuals including tribals and genotyped for 11 single nucleotide polymorphisms in CYP2C19 and 6 polymorphisms in CYP3A4. Individuals were categorized into different phenotypes based on their drug metabolizing genotype. Volunteers from each group were administered proton pump inhibitors (Esomeprazole, Pantoprazole; 40 mg/day) for 5 days followed by pharmacokinetic studies and measurement of intra-gastric pH. Results Of the 17 polymorphisms studied, only CYP2C19*2,*3,*17 and CYP3A4*1B polymorphisms were observed. In comparison to urban individuals, a significantly (p = 0.0003) higher number of poor metabolizers were noted in the tribal individuals. Pantoprazole was found to be most effective in poor metabolizers in terms of area under the curve and Tmax. No significant difference was observed in the intra-gastric pH at baseline and day 6 in rapid and ultra-rapid metabolizers. Conclusion Our study has demonstrated that 19.7% of our subjects are carriers of the CYP2C19*17 allele who did not respond to the standard dose of proton pump inhibitors. Genetic screening to identify subjects with variant alleles would thus be useful for personalization of therapy with proton pump inhibitors. Frequency of poor metabolizers varies significantly in two distinct ethnic groups studied. Subjects with CYP2C19*17 polymorphism are not responsive to standard PPI dose. Identifying individuals with these variants may aid in tailoring drug dose for hyper acidic conditions.

Abstract
Celecoxib is a selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor used extensively for the treatment of rheumatism and osteoarthritis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the genetic polymorphisms of CYP2C9, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of celecoxib and its two main metabolites, hydroxyl-celecoxib and carboxy-celecoxib, in healthy Chinese subjects, based on a bioequivalence study of celecoxib. This study was an open-label, two-period, crossover study. 52 healthy Chinese male subjects were recruited and were genotyped for CYP2C9*3, CYP2C9*13, CYP2D6*10 and CYP3A4*18 by using polymerase chain reactions (PCR). They were randomly divided into two groups and each group received either 200mg test formulation followed by reference formulation or vice versa with a one-week washout period. Safety and tolerability were monitored throughout the study and no severe adverse events were observed. Genotyping using PCR revealed that none of the subjects carried the CYP3A4*18 and CYP2C9*13. Therefore, the influence of the CYP2C9*3 and CYP2D6*10 on the PK of celecoxib and its metabolites in Chinese was studied. Compared with CYP2C9*1/*1 group, pharmacokinetic parameters of celecoxib such as AUC0-48 and Cmax was increased by 90.6% and 45.8%, the t1/2 was extended by 21.8% and the CL/F was decreased by 51.1% in CYP2C9*1/*3 group. In terms of hydroxy-celecoxib, compared with CYP2C9*1/*1 group, the Cmax was decreased by 17.2%, the t1/2 prolonged 42.1% in CYP2C9*1/*3 group. In terms of carboxy-celecoxib, the AUC0-48 was increased by 25.2%, the t1/2 prolonged 16.1% and the CL/F was decreased by 21.2% in CYP2C9*1/*3 group. Except for the t1/2 of hydroxy-celecoxib, no statistically significant difference was observed in other pharmacokinetic parameters of hydroxy-celecoxib and carboxy-celecoxib between the two CYP2C9 genotypic groups. This study revealed that there was no significant influence of CYP2D6*10 on the metabolism of celecoxib, and the expression of CYP2C9*3 led to increased drug exposure and slowed drug disposition in healthy Chinese male subjects.

Abstract
Bortezomib is used to treat patients with multiple myeloma. It is primarily metabolized by the enzyme cytochrome P450 (CYP). Variations in the capacity of bortezomib metabolism affect the treatment outcomes and the side-effects experienced by patients. In the present study, polymorphisms in the CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 genes were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction in 56 newly-diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma. The polymorphisms analyzed included the c.681G>A, c.636G>A and c.-806C>T polymorphisms of CYP2C19. The CYP3A4 gene was sequenced after amplification and was classified into normal and mutant types. Associations between the metabolizer genotypes of CYP3A4 and CYP2C19, the therapeutic efficacy of bortezomib-based regimens, and the occurrence of peripheral neuropathy were studied. The results identified no significant differences in gender, serum β2 microglobulin, creatinine, blood albumin, isotypes, and the Durie-Salmon and International Staging System stages between the CYP2C19 poor + intermediate metabolizer types and the extensive + ultrarapid metabolizer types. In addition, it was revealed that the CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 phenotypes did not affect the efficacy of bortezomib-based regimens, nor were they correlated with peripheral neuropathy. Additional large-scale studies are required in order to evaluate the role of CYP enzymes in bortezomib treatments for patients with multiple myeloma.

Abstract
CYP3A ranks among the most abundant cytochrome P450 enzymes in the liver, playing a dominant role in metabolic elimination of clinically used drugs. A main member in CYP3A family, CYP3A4 expression and activity vary considerably among individuals, attributable to genetic and non-genetic factors, affecting drug dosage and efficacy. However, the extent of genetic influence has remained unclear. This review assesses current knowledge on the genetic factors influencing CYP3A4 activity. Coding region CYP3A4 polymorphisms are rare and account for only a small portion of inter-person variability in CYP3A metabolism. Except for the promoter allele CYP3A4*1B with ambiguous effect on expression, common CYP3A4 regulatory polymorphisms were thought to be lacking. Recent studies have identified a relatively common regulatory polymorphism, designated CYP3A4*22 with robust effects on hepatic CYP3A4 expression. Combining CYP3A4*22 with CYP3A5 alleles *1, *3 and *7 has promise as a biomarker predicting overall CYP3A activity. Also contributing to variable expression, the role of polymorphisms in transcription factors and microRNAs is discussed.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is involved in the metabolism of more drugs in clinical use than any other foreign compound-metabolizing enzyme in humans. Recently, increasing evidence has been found showing that variants in the CYP3A4 gene have functional significance and--in rare cases--lead to loss of activity, implying tremendous consequences for patients. This review article highlights the functional consequences of all CYP3A4 variants recognized by the Human Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Allele Nomenclature Database.

Abstract
Given the CYP3A4 and CYP3A5's impact on the efficacy of drugs, the genetic backgrounds of individuals and populations are regarded as an important factor to be considered in the prescription of personalized medicine. However, genetic studies with Korean population are relatively scarce compared to those with other populations. In this study, we aimed to identify CYP3A4/5 polymorphisms and compare the genotype distributions among five ethnicities. To identify CYP3A4/5 SNPs, we first performed direct sequencing with 288 DNA samples which consisted of 96 Koreans, 48 European-Americans, 48 African-Americans, 48 Han Chinese, and 48 Japanese. The direct sequencing identified 15 novel SNPs, as well as 42 known polymorphisms. We defined the genotype distributions, and compared the allele frequencies among five ethnicities. The results showed that minor allele frequencies of Korean population were similar with those of the Japanese and Han Chinese populations, whereas there were distinct differences from European-Americans or African-Americans. Among the pharmacogenetic markers, frequencies of CYP3A4*1B (rs2740574) and CYP3A5*3C (rs776742) in Asian groups were different from those in other populations. In addition, minor allele frequency of CYP3A4*18 (rs28371759) was the highest in Korean population. Additional in silico analysis predicted that two novel non-synonymous SNPs in CYP3A5 (+27256C>T, P389S and +31546T>G, I488S) could alter protein structure. The frequency distributions of the identified polymorphisms in the present study may contribute to the expansion of pharmacogenetic knowledge.

Abstract
Many studies have attempted to explain the interindividual variability observed in drug metabolism by assessing the impact of SNPs in genes implicated in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion pathways. Particular attention has been paid to the CYP450s. CYP3A4 is the main CYP isoform in human liver and intestine and is involved in the metabolism of many drugs. Its activity, however, is characterized by widespread variation in the general population, which is thought to have a genetic basis. A new CYP3A4 allele (CYP3A4*22; rs35599367 C>T in intron 6) with a frequency of 5-7% in the Caucasian population was recently discovered through its association with low hepatic CYP3A4 expression and CYP3A4 activity, and showing effects on statin, tacrolimus and cyclosporine metabolism. This review will summarize the current literature on phenotypes linked to this new promising CYP3A4 genetic marker SNP and discusses the potential clinical relevance.

Abstract
A controlled trial recently showed that oral micronized progesterone (Progesterone, 300 mg at h.s. daily) was effective for vasomotor symptoms (VMS) in 133 healthy early postmenopausal women. Here, we present subgroup data in women with severe VMS (50 VMS of moderate-severe intensity/wk) and also 1-mo withdrawal study outcomes. Women with severe VMS (n = 46) resembled the full cohort but experienced 10 VMS/d of 3 of 4 intensity. On therapy, the progesterone VMS number (#) decreased significantly more than placebo # to 5.5/day (d) versus 8/d (ANCOVA -2.0 95% CI: -3.5 to -0.4). Just after trial mid-point, a withdrawal substudy (D/C) was added--56 women were invited and 34 (61%) took part (progesterone 17; placebo 17). Those in the D/C cohort resembled the whole cohort. On stopping, VMS gradually increased--at D/C week 4, on progesterone, VMS daily # reached 78% and significantly less than baseline (-3.0 to -0.8) but placebo VMS # did not differ from run-in. In summary, progesterone is effective for severe VMS and does not cause a rebound increase in VMS when stopped. That progesterone may be used alone for severe VMS and unlike estrogen does not appear to cause a withdrawal rebound increases VMS treatment options.

Abstract
Polypharmacy increasingly has become a topic of public health concern, particularly as the U.S. population ages. Drug labels often contain insufficient information to enable the clinician to safely use multiple drugs. Because many of the drugs are bio-transformed by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, inhibition of CYP activity has long been associated with potentially adverse health effects. In an attempt to reduce the uncertainty pertaining to CYP-mediated drug-drug/chemical interactions, an interagency collaborative group developed a consensus approach to prioritizing information concerning CYP inhibition. The consensus involved computational molecular docking, spectral data-activity relationship (SDAR), and structure-activity relationship (SAR) models that addressed the clinical potency of CYP inhibition. The models were built upon chemicals that were categorized as either potent or weak inhibitors of the CYP3A4 isozyme. The categorization was carried out using information from clinical trials because currently available in vitro high-throughput screening data were not fully representative of the in vivo potency of inhibition. During categorization it was found that compounds, which break the Lipinski rule of five by molecular weight, were about twice more likely to be inhibitors of CYP3A4 compared to those, which obey the rule. Similarly, among inhibitors that break the rule, potent inhibitors were 2–3 times more frequent. The molecular docking classification relied on logistic regression, by which the docking scores from different docking algorithms, CYP3A4 three-dimensional structures, and binding sites on them were combined in a unified probabilistic model. The SDAR models employed a multiple linear regression approach applied to binned 1D 13C-NMR and 1D 15N-NMR spectral descriptors. Structure-based and physical-chemical descriptors were used as the basis for developing SAR models by the decision forest method. Thirty-three potent inhibitors and 88 weak inhibitors of CYP3A4 were used to train the models. Using these models, a synthetic majority rules consensus classifier was implemented, while the confidence of estimation was assigned following the percent agreement strategy. The classifier was applied to a testing set of 120 inhibitors not included in the development of the models. Five compounds of the test set, including known strong inhibitors dalfopristin and tioconazole, were classified as probable potent inhibitors of CYP3A4. Other known strong inhibitors, such as lopinavir, oltipraz, quercetin, raloxifene, and troglitazone, were among 18 compounds classified as plausible potent inhibitors of CYP3A4. The consensus estimation of inhibition potency is expected to aid in the nomination of pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, environmental pollutants, and occupational and other chemicals for in-depth evaluation of the CYP3A4 inhibitory activity. It may serve also as an estimate of chemical interactions via CYP3A4 metabolic pharmacokinetic pathways occurring through polypharmacy and nutritional and environmental exposures to chemical mixtures.

Xiang Q, Cui YM, Zhao X, Yan L, Zhou Y. The Influence of MDR1 G2677T/a genetic polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetics of repaglinide in healthy Chinese volunteers. Pharmacology 2012; 89:105-10. [PMID: 22398664 DOI: 10.1159/000336345] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2011] [Accepted: 01/05/2012] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate the pharmacogenetic variability in the disposition of repaglinide in healthy Chinese subjects. METHODS A single dose of 2 mg repaglinide was orally administered to 24 healthy Chinese subjects. The serum concentrations of repaglinide were measured by using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. We determined the polymorphic alleles of MDR1 C1236T, MDR1 G2677T/A, MDR1 C3435T, CYP3A4*18, OATP1B1 G388A, and OATP1B1 T521C in each subject. RESULTS The area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity (AUC((0-inf))) of repaglinide was significantly higher in subjects possessing the MDR1 2677GT and 2677TT alleles than in those with the MDR1 2677GG and 2677TA alleles (p = 0.007). The mean AUCs and peak plasma concentration were higher in subjects with the 521TC allele than in those with the OATP1B1 521TT allele, and the OATP1B1 388A allele is associated with a reduced trend of pharmacokinetic exposure; however, these trends were not statistically significant. The pharmacokinetics of repaglinide was not associated with MDR1 C1236T, MDR1 C3435T, and CYP3A4*18. CONCLUSION This study shows that the genetic polymorphisms of MDR1 G2677T/A might explain the variability in the pharmacokinetics of repaglinide in the Chinese population.

Abstract
The study of cytochrome P450 pharmacogenomics is of particular interest because of its promise in the development of rational means to optimize drug therapy with respect to patient's genotype to ensure maximum efficacy with minimal adverse effects. Drug metabolizing P450 enzymes are polymorphic and are the main phase I enzymes responsible for the metabolism of clinical drugs. Therefore, polymorphisms in the P450s have the most impact on the fate of clinical drugs in phase I metabolism since almost 80% of drugs in use today are metabolized by these enzymes. Predictive genotyping for P450 enzymes for a more effective therapy will be routine for specific drugs in the future. In this review, we discuss the current knowledge of polymorphic metabolism by functional alterations in nonsynonymous SNPs of P450 1A2, 2A6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4 enzymes.

Nuclear receptor-mediated induction of CYP450 by antiretrovirals: functional consequences of NR1I2 (PXR) polymorphisms and differential prevalence in whites and sub-Saharan Africans. J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr 2011; 55:536-49.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antiretroviral therapy including HIV protease inhibitors and nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors can both inhibit and induce expression of cytochrome P450s, potentially leading to drug interactions. However, information is lacking on the impact of genetic polymorphism on this interaction. METHODS This study examines the prevalence of 33 polymorphisms in NR1I2 (pregnane X receptor [PXR]), CYP3A4, and CYP2B6 in 1013 white and sub-Saharan African patients with HIV; explores the inductive ability of 16 antiretrovirals on CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 promoter activity through nuclear receptors PXR and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR); and evaluates the influence of naturally occurring PXR genetic variants on antiretroviral activation. RESULTS Seventeen polymorphisms were present at different frequencies between the two ethnicities. Darunavir, fosamprenavir, lopinavir, nelfinavir, tipranavir, efavirenz, and abacavir increased CYP3A4 and/or CYP2B6 promoter activity, some through constitutive androstane receptor but mainly through PXR. Addition of low-dose ritonavir enhanced levels of CYP promoter activity for several protease inhibitors. Some PXR variants displayed lower fosamprenavir- and lopinavir-induced CYP3A4 promoter activity than the PXR reference sequence, whereas efavirenz and nelfinavir induction was unchanged. CONCLUSIONS The presence of NR1I2 polymorphisms can alter the induction of CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 promoter activity, potentially adding to the unpredictable nature of antiretroviral drug interactions. These polymorphisms differ in prevalence between whites and sub-Saharan Africans.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenases (CYPs) are the major enzymes involved in the metabolism of drugs and poisons in humans. The variation of their activity - due to genetic polymorphisms or enzyme inhibition/induction - potentially increases the risk of side effects or toxicity. Studies on CYP-dependent metabolism are important in drug-development or toxicity studies. Reference standards of drug metabolites required for such studies, especially in the context of metabolites in safety testing (MIST), are often not commercially available and their classical chemical synthesis can be cumbersome. Recently, a biotechnological approach using human CYP isozymes heterologously expressed in fission yeast was developed for the synthesis of drug metabolites. Among other aspects, this approach has the distinct advantages that the reactions run under mild conditions and that only the final product must be isolated and characterized. This review overviews the first practical applications of this new approach and discusses the selection of substrates, metabolites and fission yeast strains as well as important aspects of incubation, product isolation and clean-up.
