Abstract
A copper-catalyzed trifluoromethylation of (hetero)arylboronic acid pinacol esters with YlideFluor for the preparation of trifluoromethylated (hetero)arenes was described. The reaction conditions are mild and compatible with a broad range of functional groups. Heteroaryl boronic acid pinacol esters could also be trifluoromethylated in high yields. Application of this protocol for trifluoromethylation of drug and OLED molecules was demonstrated.

Abstract
There are no anti-virulence and anti-biofilm treatments for Staphylococcus aureus infection. We found that 25 μM loratadine inhibits S. aureus biofilm formation under static or flow-based conditions. Testing of loratadine effects on 255 clinical S. aureus strains with varying biofilm robustness showed inhibition of biofilm formation in medium and strong, but not weak, biofilm-producing strains. At 25 μM, loratadine reduced pigmentation and hemolysis of the bacteria without affecting growth. Loratadine (5 mg/kg) reduced mortality in S. aureus pulmonary infection model mice and acted synergistically with vancomycin to reduce pulmonary bacterial load and levels of inflammatory cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Loratadine analogues (side-chain carbamate moiety changed) inhibited biofilm formation, pigmentation, and hemolysis of S. aureus. Regarding mechanism, loratadine exposure reduced RNA levels of virulence-related S. aureus genes, and loratadine-induced mutations in MgrA reduced loratadine-MgrA binding. Overexpression of mutated mgrA in wild-type S. aureus decreased the biofilm formation inhibition effect of loratadine. Loratadine inhibits S. aureus biofilm formation under static or flow conditions Loratadine reduced mortality in S. aureus pulmonary infection model mice Loratadine synergistically with vancomycin reduced pulmonary bacterial load Loratadine-induced mutations in MgrA reduced loratadine-MgrA binding

Drug-induced QT prolongation: Concordance of preclinical anesthetized canine model in relation to published clinical observations for ten CiPA drugs. J Pharmacol Toxicol Methods 2020; 103:106871. [PMID: 32360993 DOI: 10.1016/j.vascn.2020.106871] [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: 02/17/2020] [Revised: 04/15/2020] [Accepted: 04/27/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Comprehensive In Vitro Proarrhythmia Assay (CiPA) initiative differentiates torsadogenic risk of 28 drugs affecting ventricular repolarization based on multiple in vitro human derived ionic currents. However, a standardized prospective assessment of the electrophysiologic effects of these drugs in an integrated in vivo preclinical cardiovascular model is lacking. This study questioned whether QTc interval prolongation in a preclinical in vivo model could detect clinically reported QTc prolongation and assign torsadogenic risk for ten CiPA drugs. METHODS An acute intravenous administered ascending dose anesthetized dog cardiovascular model was used to assess QTc prolongation along with other electrocardiographic (PR, QRS intervals) and hemodynamic (heart rate, blood pressures, left ventricular contractility) parameters at plasma concentrations spanning and exceeding clinical exposures. hERG current block potency was characterized using IC50 values from automated patch clamp. RESULTS All eight drugs eliciting clinical QTc prolongation also delayed repolarization in anesthetized dogs at plasma concentrations within four-fold clinical exposures. In vitro QTc safety margins (defined based on clinical Cmax values/plasma concentrations eliciting statistically significant QTc prolongation in dogs) were lower for high vs intermediate torsadogenic risk drugs. In comparison, hERG IC10 values represented as total drug concentrations were better predictors of preclinical QTc prolongation than hERG IC50 values. CONCLUSION There was good concordance for QTc prolongation in the anesthetized dog model and clinical torsadogenic risk assignment. QTc assessment in the anesthetized dog remains a valuable part of a more comprehensive preclinical integrated risk assessment for delayed repolarization and torsadogenic risk as part of a global cardiovascular evaluation.

Abstract
Current practices in drug development have led to therapeutic compounds being approved for widespread use in humans, only to be later withdrawn due to unanticipated toxicity. These occurrences are largely the result of erroneous data generated by in vivo and in vitro preclinical models that do not accurately recapitulate human physiology. Herein, a human primary cell- and stem cell-derived 3D organoid technology is employed to screen a panel of drugs that were recalled from market by the FDA. The platform is comprised of multiple tissue organoid types that remain viable for at least 28 days, in vitro. For many of these compounds, the 3D organoid system was able to demonstrate toxicity. Furthermore, organoids exposed to non-toxic compounds remained viable at clinically relevant doses. Additional experiments were performed on integrated multi-organoid systems containing liver, cardiac, lung, vascular, testis, colon, and brain. These integrated systems proved to maintain viability and expressed functional biomarkers, long-term. Examples are provided that demonstrate how multi-organoid 'body-on-a-chip' systems may be used to model the interdependent metabolism and downstream effects of drugs across multiple tissues in a single platform. Such 3D in vitro systems represent a more physiologically relevant model for drug screening and will likely reduce the cost and failure rate associated with the approval of new drugs.

Abstract
Background:
Anecdotal evidence suggests that there may be sex differences in Drug-drug Interactions
(DDI) involving specific drugs. Regulators have provided general guidance for the inclusion of females in clinical
studies. Some clinical studies have reported sex differences in the Pharmacokinetics (PK) of CYP3A4 substrates,
suggesting that DDI involving CYP3A4 substrates could potentially show sex differences.
Objective:
The aim of this review was to investigate whether recent prospective DDI studies have included both
sexes and whether there was evidence for the presence or absence of sex differences with the DDIs.
Methods:
The relevant details from 156 drug interaction studies within 124 papers were extracted and evaluated.
Results:
Only eight studies (five papers) compared the outcome of the DDI between males and females. The majority
of the studies had only male volunteers. Five studies had females only while 60 had males only, with 7.7% of the
studies having an equal proportion of both sexes. Surprisingly, four studies did not specify the sex of the subjects.
:
Based on the limited number of studies comparing males and females, no specific trends or conclusions were evident.
Sex differences in the interaction were reported between ketoconazole and midazolam as well as clarithromycin and
midazolam. However, no sex difference was observed with the interaction between clarithromycin and triazolam or
erythromycin and triazolam. No sex-related PK differences were observed with the interaction between ketoconazole
and domperidone, although sex-related differences in QT prolongation were observed.
Conclusion:
This review has shown that only limited progress had been made with the inclusion of both sexes in
DDI studies.

Human hepatocytes and cytochrome P450-selective inhibitors predict variability in human drug exposure more accurately than human recombinant P450s. Br J Pharmacol 2018; 175:2116-2129.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Drugs metabolically eliminated by several enzymes are less vulnerable to variable compound exposure in patients due to drug-drug interactions (DDI) or if a polymorphic enzyme is involved in their elimination. Therefore, it is vital in drug discovery to accurately and efficiently estimate and optimize the metabolic elimination profile. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH CYP3A and/or CYP2D6 substrates with well described variability in vivo in humans due to CYP3A DDI and CYP2D6 polymorphism were selected for assessment of fraction metabolized by each enzyme (fmCYP ) in two in vitro systems: (i) human recombinant P450s (hrP450s) and (ii) human hepatocytes combined with selective P450 inhibitors. Increases in compound exposure in poor versus extensive CYP2D6 metabolizers and by the strong CYP3A inhibitor ketoconazole were mathematically modelled and predicted changes in exposure were compared with in vivo data. KEY RESULTS Predicted changes in exposure were within twofold of reported in vivo values using fmCYP estimated in human hepatocytes and there was a strong linear correlation between predicted and observed changes in exposure (r2 = 0.83 for CYP3A, r2 = 0.82 for CYP2D6). Predictions using fmCYP in hrP450s were not as accurate (r2 = 0.55 for CYP3A, r2 = 0.20 for CYP2D6). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The results suggest that variability in human drug exposure due to DDI and enzyme polymorphism can be accurately predicted using fmCYP from human hepatocytes and CYP-selective inhibitors. This approach can be efficiently applied in drug discovery to aid optimization of candidate drugs with a favourable metabolic elimination profile and limited variability in patients.

Abstract
Background Proarrhythmia assessment is one of the major concerns for regulatory bodies and pharmaceutical industry. ICH guidelines recommending preclinical tests have been established in attempt to eliminate the risk of drug-induced arrhythmias. However, in the clinic, arrhythmia occurrence is determined not only by the inherent property of a drug to block ion currents and disturb electrophysiological activity of cardiac myocytes, but also by many other factors modifying individual risk of QT prolongation and subsequent proarrhythmia propensity. One of those is drug-drug interactions. Since polypharmacy is a common practice in clinical settings, it can be anticipated that there is a relatively high risk that the patient will receive at least two drugs mutually modifying their proarrhythmic potential and resulting either in triggering the occurrence or mitigating the clinical symptoms. The mechanism can be observed either directly at the pharmacodynamic level by competing for the molecular targets, or indirectly by modifying the physiological parameters, or at the pharmacokinetic level by alteration of the active concentration of the victim drug. Methods This publication provides an overview of published clinical studies on pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic drug-drug interactions in humans and their electrophysiological consequences (QT interval modification). Databases of PubMed and Scopus were searched and combinations of the following keywords were used for Title, Abstract and Keywords fields: interaction, coadministration, combination, DDI and electrocardiographic, QTc interval, ECG. Only human studies were included. Over 4500 publications were retrieved and underwent preliminary assessment to identify papers accordant with the topic of this review. 76 papers reporting results for 96 drug combinations were found and analyzed. Results The results show the tremendous variability of drug-drug interaction effects, which makes one aware of complexity of the problem, and suggests the need for assessment of an additional risk factors and careful ECG monitoring before administration of drugs with anticipated QT prolongation. Conclusions DDIs can play significant roles in drugs’ cardiac safety, as evidenced by the provided examples. Assessment of the pharmacodynamic effects of the drug interactions is more challenging as compared to the pharmacokinetic due to the significant diversity in the endpoints which should be analyzed specifically for various clinical effects. Nevertheless, PD components of DDIs should be accounted for as PK changes alone do not allow to fully explain the electrophysiological effects in clinic situations.

Pro-arrhythmic potential of oral antihistamines (H1): combining adverse event reports with drug utilization data across Europe. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0119551.

Abstract
Background There is appreciable utilisation of antihistamines (H1) in European countries, either prescribed by physician and purchased by patients for self-medication. Terfenadine and astemizole underwent regulatory restrictions in ’90 because of their cardiac toxicity, but only scarce clinical data are available on other antihistamines. Aim To investigate the pro-arrhythmic potential of antihistamines by combining safety reports of the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) with drug utilization data from 13 European Countries. Methods We identified signals of antihistamine arrhythmogenic potential by analyzing FAERS database for all cases of Torsades de Pointes (TdP), QT abnormalities (QTabn), ventricular arrhythmia (VA) and sudden cardiac death/cardiac arrest (SCD/CA). Number of cases ≥3 and disproportionality were used to define alert signals: TdP and QTabn identified stronger signals, whereas SCD/CA identified weaker signals. Drug utilization data from 2005 to 2010 were collected from administrative databases through health authorities and insurance. Results Antihistamines were reported in 109 cases of TdP/QT prolongation, 278 VA and 610 SCD/CA. Five agents resulted in stronger signals (cetirizine, desloratadine, diphenhydramine, fexofenadine, loratadine) and 6 in weaker signals (alimemazine, carbinoxamine, cyclizine, cyproeptadine, dexchlorpheniramine and doxylamine). Exposure to antihistamines with stronger signal was markedly different across European countries and was at least 40% in each Country. Cetirizine was >29 Defined Daily Doses per 1000 inhabitants per day (DID) in Norway, desloratadine >11 DID in France and loratadine >9 DID in Sweden and Croatia. Drugs with weaker signals accounted for no more than 10% (in Sweden) and in most European countries their use was negligible. Conclusions Some second-generation antihistamines are associated with signal of torsadogenicity and largely used in most European countries. Although confirmation by analytical studies is required, regulators and clinicians should consider risk-minimisation activities. Also antihistamines without signal but with peculiar use in a few Countries (e.g., levocetirizine) or with increasing consumption (e.g., rupatadine) deserve careful surveillance.

Abstract
Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a common disorder with a prevalence of 1% that is characterized by recurrent wheals, angioedema, or both. CSU is self-limited but in many patients symptoms recur for several years and can be refractory to standard therapies. In this review, we present an illustrative case of a female patient with CSU who, despite taking 15 antihistamines a day in addition to a number of second-line therapies, continued to be refractory to treatment. However, once we initiated subcutaneous treatment with omalizumab 300 mg every 4 weeks, she experienced rapid relief of her CSU symptoms. Through this case, we present a review of the relevant issues, including the efficacy of laboratory tests to identify the cause of a patient's CSU, the association between CSU and thyroid disease and its relevance to treatment options, the recommendation to increase antihistamine dose up to fourfold and possible adverse events associated with this treatment option. We also include a discussion of the use of second-line therapies as well as omalizumab in refractory CSU patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Axitinib is a potent and selective inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1-3, approved for second-line treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Preclinical studies did not indicate potential for axitinib-induced delayed cardiac repolarization. METHODS The effect of axitinib on corrected QT (QTc) prolongation was evaluated with one-stage concentration-QTc response modeling using data from a definitive randomized crossover QT phase I study in healthy volunteers administered one single 5-mg axitinib dose alone or in the presence of steady-state ketoconazole (400 mg once daily). RESULTS Axitinib and ketoconazole had opposite effects on heart rate: Axitinib lowered it, ketoconazole raised it. The final analysis showed a flat relationship between QTc and axitinib concentration (slope -0.0314 ms·mL/ng) for axitinib alone. Mean highest placebo-matched change from baseline in QTc was -3.0 [90 % confidence interval (CI) -5.4, -0.6] ms. At supratherapeutic axitinib exposures achieved with potent cytochrome P450 3A4/5 inhibition by ketoconazole, the model predicted mean QTc change of 6.5 (90 % CI 4.4-8.5) ms. The slope population mean estimate was -0.331 (95 % CI -0.860, 0.198) ms·mL/µg for ketoconazole alone and 0.0725 (0.0445-0.1005) ms·mL/ng for axitinib in the presence of ketoconazole. The results were then compared with those obtained based on more widely used Fridericia's, Bazett's, and study-specific correction methods. CONCLUSIONS Since axitinib plasma concentrations observed in this study exceeded the range of concentrations observed in patients with RCC at the highest approved clinical dose (10 mg twice daily), axitinib was not associated with clinically significant QTc prolongation in target populations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Desloratadine is a biologically active metabolite of second-generation antihistamine loratadine. It is also indicated for the treatment of allergic diseases, including allergic rhinitis. AREAS COVERED A Medline search was conducted to identify preclinical and clinical studies of desloratadine. This was supplemented with additional articles obtained from online sources. The focus of this review is on the safety profile of desloratadine. EXPERT OPINION The review of these data indicates that the safety profile of desloratadine is similar to other second-generation antihistamines. Desloratadine is highly selective for histamine H₁-receptors, does not cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and has minimal adverse events (very low sedation rate), with a better safety and tolerability than first-generation antihistamines. Desloratadine is safe and well tolerated without having central nervous system (CNS) or cardiovascular effects and with low drug interaction.

Abstract
Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) that occur via mechanism-based inactivation of cytochrome P450 are of serious concern. Although several predictive models have been published, early risk assessment of MBIs is still challenging. For reversible inhibitors, the DDI risk categorization using [I]/K(i) ([I], the inhibitor concentration; K(i), the inhibition constant) is widely used in drug discovery and development. Although a simple and reliable methodology such as [I]/K(i) categorization for reversible inhibitors would be useful for mechanism-based inhibitors (MBIs), comprehensive analysis of an analogous measure reflecting in vitro potency for inactivation has not been reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the term λ/k(deg) (λ, first-order inactivation rate at a given MBI concentration; k(deg), enzyme degradation rate constant) would be useful in the prediction of the in vivo DDI risk of MBIs. Twenty-one MBIs with both in vivo area under the curve (AUC) change of marker substrates and in vitro inactivation parameters were identified in the literature and analyzed. The results of this analysis show that in vivo DDIs with >2-fold change of object drug AUC can be identified with the cutoff value of λ/k(deg) = 1, where unbound steady-state C(max) is used for inhibitor concentration. However, the use of total C(max) led to great overprediction of DDI risk. The risk assessment using λ/k(deg) coupled with unbound C(max) can be useful for the DDI risk evaluation of MBIs in drug discovery and development.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although crossover trials enjoy wide use, standards for analysis and reporting have not been established. We reviewed methodological aspects and quality of reporting in a representative sample of published crossover trials. METHODS We searched MEDLINE for December 2000 and identified all randomized crossover trials. We abstracted data independently, in duplicate, on 14 design criteria, 13 analysis criteria, and 14 criteria assessing the data presentation. RESULTS We identified 526 randomized controlled trials, of which 116 were crossover trials. Trials were drug efficacy (48%), pharmacokinetic (28%), and nonpharmacologic (30%). The median sample size was 15 (interquartile range 8-38). Most (72%) trials used 2 treatments and had 2 periods (64%). Few trials reported allocation concealment (17%) or sequence generation (7%). Only 20% of trials reported a sample size calculation and only 31% of these considered pairing of data in the calculation. Carry-over issues were addressed in 29% of trial's methods. Most trials reported and defended a washout period (70%). Almost all trials (93%) tested for treatment effects using paired data and also presented details on by-group results (95%). Only 29% presented CIs or SE so that data could be entered into a meta-analysis. CONCLUSION Reports of crossover trials frequently omit important methodological issues in design, analysis, and presentation. Guidelines for the conduct and reporting of crossover trials might improve the conduct and reporting of studies using this important trial design.

Abstract
Drug-induced arrhythmias, particularly those caused by a prolonged QT interval, have become a critical safety issue for compound selection during development by pharmaceutical companies and for health care regulators. The last two decades have witnessed enormous progress in the definition of the clinical conditions that facilitate the occurrence of such serious adverse effects, of its molecular basis, and in the preclinical strategies aimed at early identification of the cardiotoxic liability of compounds undergoing investigation or already used in the clinic. Moreover, despite the fact that acquired factors play an obvious role in drug-induced arrhythmias, it has become evident that the disease is often manifested upon the interaction of strong environmental stressors with specific genetic determinants of the affected individuals; in that sense, few examples can illustrate the existing interaction between acquired and genetic factors in disease manifestation better than drug-induced arrhythmogenesis. Progress in this field has been mainly driven by a strong interaction among various disciplines, including medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, electrophysiology, molecular genetics, and clinical cardiology; such an interdisciplinary approach has often generated unexpected discoveries of great clinical value, allowing clinicians to drive drug selection toward compounds of proven efficacy and safety. Historically, studies on antihistamines have paved the way for much of our current understanding of the mechanisms and problems associated with QT prolongation and drug-induced arrhythmogenesis; therefore, in this perspective, we will attempt to summarize how basic research studies have helped the interpretation of clinically relevant phenomena (from basics to clinics...) and how this information has prompted new emphasis in preclinical studies aimed at predicting the cardiotoxic potential of compounds (...and back). The current availability of several strategies provided with great predictive potential, together with an increased awareness of physicians, pharmaceutical industries, and health care regulators to this potentially serious cardiovascular side effect, has significantly decreased the risk associated with drug-induced arrhythmias caused by drugs newly introduced into the market; nevertheless, given the large number of cases of QT prolongation still occurring during treatment with a wide variety of congeners, it seems appropriate to review the issue of the cardiotoxic actions of antihistamines, as a better comprehension of the underlying mechanisms and risk factors is likely to contribute to the improvement of the risk/benefit ratio for pharmacological treatment in several therapeutic areas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Loratadine is a long-acting antihistamine with selective peripheral histamine H(1)-receptor antagonistic activity and fewer sedative effects compared with conventional antihistamines, and is widely used in Mexico. Although several generic formulations of loratadine are available in Mexico, based on a literature search, information concerning the bioavailability of each formulation in the Mexican population is not available. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the bioavailability and tolerability of 2 oral formulations of loratadine 20 mg (two 10-mg tablets) used in Mexico: Sensibit (test formulation; Laboratorios Liomont S.A. de C.V., Mexico City, Mexico) and Clarityne (reference formulation; Schering-Plough S.A. de C.V., Mexico City, Mexico) in healthy volunteers. METHODS This open-label, randomized, 2-period crossover study was conducted at Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. Eligible subjects were healthy male Mexican volunteers aged > or=18 years. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive a single 20-mg dose (two 10-mg tablets) of the test or reference formulation, followed by a 2-week washout period, followed by the same dose of the alternate formulation. A 400-mg dose of ketoconazole (2 doses in 24 hours) was administered to each subject before the administration of each formulation, and a 200-mg dose of ketoconazole was given together with each formulation (ie, a total of 600 mg of ketoconazole was administered). Doses were administered after a 12-hour overnight fast. For analysis of pharmacokinetic properties, including C(maX), AUC(0-t), and AUC(0-infinity), blood samples were drawn at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 5, 8, 12, 16, and 22 hours after dosing. The formulations were considered bioequivalent if the geometric mean ratios of C(maX) and AUC were within the predetermined equivalence range of 80% to 125%. Tolerability was assessed by monitoring vital signs and subject interview regarding the potential presence of adverse events (AEs). RESULTS Thirty-two subjects were enrolled in the study (mean age, 22 years [range, 18-28 years]; mean weight, 68.9 kg [range, 58-79 kg]; mean height, 170.8 cm [range, 158-183 cm]). Sixteen subjects received the test formulation first. No period or sequence effect was observed. The 90% CIs for the corresponding ratios of CmaX, AUC(0-t), and AUC(0-infinity) were 81.43% to 106.01%, 83.12% to 100.23%, and 84.06% to 101.10% (all, P < 0.05), meeting the predetermined criteria for bioequivalence. Similar results were found for data without a logarithmic transformation. No AEs were reported throughout the study. CONCLUSIONS In this small study in healthy Mexican volunteers, a single, 20-mg dose of the test formulation of loratadine was found to be bioequivalent to that of the reference formulation based on the rate and extent of absorption when concomitantly administered with ketoconazole. Both formulations were well tolerated.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the frequency of potential azole-drug interactions and consequences of interactions between fluconazole and other drugs in routine inpatient care. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of hospitalized patients treated for systemic fungal infections with an oral or intravenous azole medication between July 1997 and June 2001 in a tertiary care hospital. We recorded the concomitant use of medications known to interact with azole antifungals and measured the frequency of potential azole drug interactions, which we considered to be present when both drugs were given together. We then performed a chart review on a random sample of admissions in which patients were exposed to a potential moderate or major drug interaction with fluconazole. The list of azole-interacting medications and the severity of interaction were derived from the DRUGDEX System and Drug Interaction Facts. RESULTS Among the 4,185 admissions in which azole agents (fluconazole, itraconazole or ketoconazole) were given, 2,941 (70.3%) admissions experienced potential azole-drug interactions, which included 2,716 (92.3%) admissions experiencing potential fluconazole interactions. The most frequent interactions with potential moderate to major severity were co-administration of fluconazole with prednisone (25.3%), midazolam (17.5%), warfarin (14.7%), methylprednisolone (14.1%), cyclosporine (10.7%) and nifedipine (10.1%). Charts were reviewed for 199 admissions in which patients were exposed to potential fluconazole drug interactions. While four adverse drug events (ADEs) caused by fluconazole were found, none was felt to be caused by a drug-drug interaction (DDI), although in one instance fluconazole may have contributed. CONCLUSIONS Potential fluconazole drug interactions were very frequent among hospitalized patients on systemic azole antifungal therapy, but they had few apparent clinical consequences.

Abstract
AIMS Two studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of coadministration of ketoconazole with two nonsedating antihistamines, ebastine and loratadine, on the QTc interval and on the pharmacokinetics of the antihistamines. METHODS In both studies healthy male subjects (55 in one study and 62 in the other) were assigned to receive 5 days of antihistamine (ebastine 20 mg qd in one study, and loratadine 10 mg qd in the other) or placebo alone using a predetermined randomization schedule, followed by 8 days of concomitant ketoconazole 450 mg qd/antihistamine or ketoconazole 400 mg qd/placebo. Serial ECGs and blood sampling for drug analysis were performed at baseline and on study days 5 (at the end of monotherapy) and 13 (at the end of combination therapy). QT intervals were corrected for heart rate using the formula QTc = QT/RR(alpha) with special emphasis on individualized alpha values derived from each subject's own QT/RR relationship at baseline. RESULTS No significant changes in QTc interval from baseline were observed after 5 days administration of ebastine, loratadine or placebo. Ketoconazole/placebo increased the mean QTc (95% CI) by 6.96 (3.31-10.62) ms in the ebastine study and by 7.52 (4.15-10.89) ms in the loratadine study. Mean QTc was statistically significantly increased during both ebastine/ketoconazole administration (12.21 ms; 7.39-17.03 ms) and loratadine/ketoconazole administration (10.68 ms; 6.15-15.21 ms) but these changes were not statistically significantly different from the increases seen with placebo/ketoconazole (6.96 ms; 3.31-10.62 ms), P = 0.08 ebastine study, (7.52 ms; 4.15-10.89 ms), P = 0.26 loratadine study). After the addition of ketoconazole, the mean area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) for ebastine increased by 42.5 fold, and that of its metabolite carebastine by 1.4 fold. The mean AUC for loratadine increased by 4.5 fold and that of its metabolite desloratadine by 1.9 fold following administration of ketoconazole. No subjects were withdrawn because of ECG changes or drug-related adverse events. CONCLUSIONS Ketoconazole altered the pharmacokinetic profiles of both ebastine and loratadine although the effect was greater for the former drug. The coadministration of ebastine with ketoconazole resulted in a non significant mean increase of 5.25 ms (-0.65 to 11.15 ms) over ketoconazole with placebo (6.96 ms) while ketoconazole plus loratadine resulted in a nonsignificant mean increase of 3.16 ms (-2.73 to 8.68 ms) over ketoconazole plus placebo (7.52 ms). Changes in uncorrected QT intervals for both antihistamines were not statistically different from those observed with ketoconazole alone. The greater effect of ketoconazole on the pharmacokinetics of ebastine was not accompanied by a correspondingly greater pharmacodynamic effect on cardiac repolarization.

Abstract
Loratadine is known to be a substrate for both CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 based on a previous in vitro study. In view of the large interindividual variability in loratadine pharmacokinetics and the greater genetically determined variability of CYP2D6 activity than of CYP3A4 in vivo, we hypothesized that CYP2D6 polymorphisms may contribute to the pharmacokinetic variability of loratadine. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of CYP2D6 genotype (specifically the CYP2D6*10 allele) on the pharmacokinetics of loratadine in Chinese subjects. Three groups of healthy male Chinese subjects were enrolled: group I, homozygous CYP2D6*1 (*1/*1, n=4); group II, heterozygous CYP2D6*10 (*1/*10 or *2/*10, n=6); and group III, homozygous CYP2D6*10 (*10/*10, n=7) carriers. Each subject received a single oral dose of 20 mg of loratadine under fasting conditions. Multiple blood samples were collected over 48 h, and the plasma concentrations of loratadine and its metabolite desloratadine were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. In comparing homozygous CYP2D6*10 (group III) to heterozygous CYP2D6*10 (group II) to homozygous CYP2D6*1 (group I) subjects, loratadine oral clearance values were 7.17+/- 2.54 versus 11.06+/-1.70 versus 14.59+/-2.43 l/h/kg, respectively [one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), p<0.01], and the corresponding metabolic ratios [area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC)(desloratadine)/AUC(loratadine)] were 1.55+/-0.73 versus 2.47+/- 0.46 versus 3.32+/- 0.49, respectively (one-way ANOVA, p<0.05), indicating a gene-dose effect. The results demonstrated that CYP2D6 polymorphism prevalent in the Chinese population significantly affected loratadine pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Inhibition of cytochrome P (P450) (CYP) enzymes, in particular CYP3A4 and CYP2D6, is an important drug-interacting mechanism. The objective of our study was to assess how frequently CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 inhibitors are co-prescribed with substrates of the respective enzymes. METHODS Included inhibitors were clarithromycin, erythromycin, fluconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole and nefazodone (CYP3A4 inhibitors) and bupropion, fluoxetine, paroxetine and terbinafine (CYP2D6 inhibitors). The inhibitors were combined with substrates shown to be pharmacokinetically sensitive towards inhibition (190 drug pairs in total). Lists of patients receiving inhibitors and substrates were drawn from prescription databases (approximately 43,500 patients) of three Norwegian primary pharmacies during a 6-month period (July 2002 to January 2003). The lists were matched on name and date of birth to identify patients using drug pairs. Concurrent use was made probable from dates of purchase and drug profiles. RESULTS Inhibitors were prescribed to 2,062 patients. Altogether, 369 events of substrate co-prescription were registered. The highest frequencies of co-prescribed substrates were found for paroxetine (101 events per 267 patients, 38%), fluoxetine (36 events per 110 patients, 33%) and clarithromycin (59 events per 242 patients, 24%). The drugs most often detected in combination with inhibitors were codeine (116 events) and metoprolol (38 events) for CYP2D6 and zopiclone (45 events) and simvastatin (26 events) for CYP3A4. CONCLUSION Several commonly used CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 inhibitors are frequently co-prescribed with substrates in Norwegian clinical practice. Alertness when inhibitors are prescribed would aid physicians and pharmacists to detect many drug combinations with potential interaction risk.

Abstract
Antihistamines are useful medications for the treatment of a variety of allergic disorders. Second-generation antihistamines avidly and selectively bind to peripheral histamine H1 receptors and, consequently, provide gratifying relief of histamine-mediated symptoms in a majority of atopic patients. This tight receptor specificity additionally leads to few effects on other neuronal or hormonal systems, with the result that adverse effects associated with these medications, with the exception of noticeable sedation in about 10% of cetirizine-treated patients, resemble those of placebo overall. Similarly, serious adverse drug reactions and interactions are uncommon with these medicines. Therapeutic interchange to one of the available second-generation antihistamines is a reasonable approach to limiting an institutional formulary, and adoption of such a policy has proven capable of creating substantial cost savings. Differences in overall efficacy and safety between available second-generation antihistamines, when administered in equivalent dosages, are not large. However, among the antihistamines presently available, fexofenadine may offer the best overall balance of effectiveness and safety, and this agent is an appropriate selection for initial or switch therapy for most patients with mild or moderate allergic symptoms. Cetirizine is the most potent antihistamine available and has been subjected to more clinical study than any other. This agent is appropriate for patients proven unresponsive to other antihistamines and for those with the most severe symptoms who might benefit from antihistamine treatment of the highest potency that can be dose-titrated up to maximal intensity.

Abstract
Antihistamines and their drug-drug interactions are reviewed in depth. The metabolism of "classic" or sedating antihistamines is coming to light through in vivo and in vitro studies. The polymorphic CYP 2D6 metabolic enzyme appears to be potently inhibited by many of these over-the-counter medications. The history of the discontinued "second-generation" antihistamines terfenadine and astemizole is reviewed to remind the reader why the understanding of the cytochrome P450 system became increasingly important when the cardiotoxicity of these drugs became apparent. The "third-generation" nonsedating antihistamines are also listed and compared. They have been exhaustively scrutinized for drug-drug interactions and cardiotoxicity, and they appear to have no serious drug-drug interactions at recommended doses.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate whether the drug-drug interaction between fexofenadine and ketoconazole is localized to efflux transport proteins of the small intestine, and to determine and classify the effective jejunal permeability (Peff) of fexofenadine according to the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS). METHODS Two separate jejunal perfusion experiments were performed using the Loc-I-Gut technique in eight healthy volunteers. During treatment 1 (T1), we investigated the acute effect of ketoconazole on the Peff and plasma pharmacokinetics of fexofenadine. In treatment 2 (T2) we examined the effect of oral pretreatment with ketoconazole (200 mg daily for 5 days) on the same absorption parameters. Each experiment was divided into two periods of 100 min and the jejunal segment was perfused with 93 micro m fexofenadine during both periods. In period 2 of each treatment, fexofenadine was coadministered with 94 micro m ketoconazole. The concentrations of fexofenadine in intestinal perfusate and plasma were measured by liquid chromatography with mass detection. RESULTS During T1, the mean (+/- s.d.) Peff of fexofenadine was low according to the BCS (0.11 +/- 0.11 and 0.04 +/- 0.13 x 10(-4) cm s(-1) in periods 1 and 2, respectively), and the coadministration of ketoconazole in period 2 had no significant acute effect on Peff (95% confidence interval (CI) on the difference -0.37, 0.51). After pretreatment with ketoconazole (T2), the jejunal Peff of fexofenadine increased to 0.29 +/- 0.47 and 0.22 +/- 0.31 x 10-4 cm s(-1) in both periods 1 and 2, respectively, but the change was not statistically significant when compared with T1 (95% CI on the difference -0.62, 0.27 for T1 0-100 min vs T2 0-100 min; -0.54, 0.34 for T1 0-100 min vs T2 100-200 min). Fexofenadine plasma AUC from 0-100 mg showed no significant difference after pretreatment with ketoconazole (55 +/- 101 and 51 +/- 33 micro g ml(-1) min(-1) respectively; 95% CI on the difference -108, 115). Total plasma AUC (0-720 min) was 318 +/- 426 and 426 +/- 232 ng ml(-1) min in T1 and T2, respectively (95% CI on the difference -622, 405). CONCLUSIONS No significant effect of acute coadministration or pretreatment with ketoconazole on the in vivo intestinal absorption of fexofenadine was detected in this study.

Abstract
Antihistamines, among the most commonly prescribed drugs in the world, have evolved considerably since the first generation was introduced >50 years ago. The first generation antihistamines (e.g., chlorpheniramine, diphenhydramine, promethazine and hydroxyzine) are still widely available and in use today. These drugs have considerable sedative effects caused by their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. The next generation of antihistamines to emerge in the market were devoid of these sedative effects; however, two (terfenadine and astemizole) have shown rare but lethal cardiotoxic side effects. The third generation antihistamines, metabolites of the earlier drugs, have demonstrated no cardiac effects of the parent drugs and are at least as potent. Many have exhibited superior pharmacokinetic and pharmacological profiles, including an improved onset of action and duration of effect. The clinical benefit of these newer oral antihistamines will clearly help improve the quality of life of patients with chronic allergies.

Abstract
Although the new second-generation nonsedative antihistamines terfenadine and astemizole were launched as highly selective and specific H(1)-receptor antagonists, they were later found to cause prolongation of the QT-interval and severe cardiac arrhythmias. The prolongation of the QT-interval is caused by the blockade of one or more of the cardiac potassium channels, among which the delayed rectifier I(Kr), encoded by the HERG-gene, appears to be the most significant. The potency of the prokinetic drug cisapride to block I(Kr) appears to be similar to that of terfenadine (IC(50) about 50 nmol/l). These drugs cause problems when overdosed, used in combination with inhibitors of their CYP3A4-mediated metabolism, or when given to individuals with altered drug kinetics (the aged) or patients with existing cardiac disease (congenitally long QT). Moreover, interactions with other QT-interval prolonging drugs require special attention. Active hydrophilic metabolites of the second-generation antihistaminic compounds (ebastine-carebastine, loratadine-desloratadine, terfenadine-fexofenadine, astemizole-norastemizole) are new compounds with probably reduced risk for drug interactions and cardiac toxicity.
