The Impact of Smoking, Sex, Infection, and Comedication Administration on Oral Olanzapine: A Population Pharmacokinetic Model in Chinese Psychiatric Patients. Eur J Drug Metab Pharmacokinet 2021; 46:353-371. [PMID: 33677821 DOI: 10.1007/s13318-021-00673-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 07/29/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Prior olanzapine population pharmacokinetic (PPK) models have focused on the effects of sex and smoking on olanzapine clearance. This PPK model in Chinese adult psychiatric patients also investigated the influence of comedications and co-occurrence of infections on olanzapine clearance, and explored how to personalize oral olanzapine dosage in the clinical setting. METHODS A total of 1546 serum concentrations from 354 patients were collected in this study. A one-compartment model with first-order absorption was employed to develop the PPK model using a nonlinear mixed-effects modeling approach. Covariates included demographic parameters, co-occurrence of infection and concomitant medications (including dangguilonghui tablets, a Chinese herbal medicine for constipation). Bootstrap validation (1000 runs) and external validation of 50 patients were employed to evaluate the final model. Simulations were performed to explore the personalization of olanzapine dosing after stratification by sex, smoking, and comedication with valproate. RESULTS Typical estimates for the absorption rate constant (Ka), apparent clearance (CL/F), and apparent distribution volume (V/F) were 0.30 h-1, 12.88 L/h, and 754.41 L, respectively. Olanzapine clearance was increased by the following variables: 1.23-fold by male sex, 1.23-fold by smoking, 1.23-fold by comedication with valproate, 1.16-fold by sertraline, and 2.01-fold by dangguilonghui tablets. Olanzapine clearance was decreased by the following variables: 0.75-fold by co-occurrence of infection, 0.70-fold by fluvoxamine, and 0.78-fold by perphenazine. The model evaluation indicated that the final model's performance was good, stable, and precise. CONCLUSION This study contributes to the personalization of oral olanzapine dosing, but further studies should be performed to verify the effects of infection and comedications, including valproate and dangguilonghui.

ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2018; 49:84-95.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In the last 20 years of clinical practice, the senior author has identified these 2 rare cases in which the patients needed extremely high doses of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 to reach and maintain serum therapeutic concentrations. METHODS The high metabolic ability of these 2 patients was demonstrated by the low concentration-to-dose ratios (C/D ratios) of several drugs metabolized by CYP3A4. RESULTS Case 1 was characterized by a history of high carbamazepine doses (up to 2,000mg/day) and needed 170 mg/day of diazepam in 2 days to cooperate with dental cleaning. The high activity of the CYP3A4 isoenzyme was manifested by fast metabolism for quetiapine and diazepam, which took more than 1 year to normalize after the inducer, phenytoin, was stopped. Case 2 was also very sensitive to CYP3A4 inducers as indicated by very low C/D ratios for carbamazepine, risperidone and paliperidone. The carbamazepine (2,800 mg/day) and risperidone (20 mg/day) dosages for this second patient are the highest doses ever seen for these drugs by the senior author. Risperidone induction appeared to last for many months and metabolism was definitively normal 3 years after stopping carbamazepine. On the other hand, olanzapine C/D ratios were normal for induction. CONCLUSIONS The literature has never described similar cases of very high doses of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4. We speculate that these 2 patients may have unusual genetic profiles at the nuclear receptor levels; these receptors regulate induction of drugs.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Patients with bipolar disorder are frequently treated with polypharmacy. This article should provide clinicians with an understanding of how polypharmacy can contribute to pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic drug-drug interactions (DDIs). RECENT FINDINGS The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of lithium and other mood stabilizers (valproate, lamotrigine, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, and eslicarbazepine), antipsychotics, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) were reviewed and summarized in the first four tables describing their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic mechanisms. Four tables summarized the DDIs which are likely to be clinically relevant in adults with bipolar disorder: two for mania treatments (with and without carbamazepine), one for maintenance treatments, and one for depression treatments. The purpose is to be practical, helping clinicians pay attention to and manage polypharmacy, avoiding adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in patients with bipolar disorder, including both the frequent ADRs and those rare but potentially lethal ADRs. Future articles should improve these tables.

Two Sudden and Unexpected Deaths of Patients with Schizophrenia Associated with Intramuscular Injections of Antipsychotics and Practice Guidelines to Limit the Use of High Doses of Intramuscular Antipsychotics. Case Rep Psychiatry 2016; 2016:9406813. [PMID: 27597919 PMCID: PMC5002457 DOI: 10.1155/2016/9406813] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2016] [Accepted: 07/03/2016] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Intravenous haloperidol has been associated with torsades de pointes (TdP). These two sudden deaths were probable adverse drug reactions (ADRs) following intramuscular (IM) antipsychotics. The autopsies described lack of heart pathology and were highly compatible with the possibility of TdP in the absence of risk factors other than the accumulation of antipsychotics with a high serum peak after the last injection, leading to death within hours. The first case was a 27-year-old African-American male with schizophrenia but no medical issues. His death was probably caused by repeated IM haloperidol injections of 10 mg (totaling 35 mg in 2 days). The second case involves a 42-year-old African-American female with metabolic syndrome. Her probable cause of death was the last ziprasidone IM injection of 20 mg in addition to (1) three extra haloperidol doses (2 hours before the ziprasidone injection, 5 mg oral haloperidol; approximately 21 hours earlier, 5 mg oral haloperidol; and 2 days prior, one 10 mg IM haloperidol injection), (2) 10 mg/day of scheduled oral haloperidol for 6 days before death, and (3) a long-acting paliperidone injection of 156 mg 18 days before death. The study of haloperidol glucuronidation and its impairment in some African-Americans is urgently recommended.

Abstract
The literature on inducers in epilepsy and bipolar disorder is seriously contaminated by false negative findings. This is part i of a comprehensive review on antiepileptic drug (AED) inducers using both mechanistic pharmacological and evidence-based medicine to provide practical recommendations to neurologists and psychiatrists concerning how to control for them. Carbamazepine, phenobarbital and phenytoin, are clinically relevant AED inducers; correction factors were calculated for studied induced drugs. These correction factors are rough simplifications for orienting clinicians, since there is great variability in the population regarding inductive effects. As new information is published, the correction factors may need to be modified. Some of the correction factors are so high that the drugs (e.g., bupropion, quetiapine or lurasidone) should not co-prescribed with potent inducers. Clobazam, eslicarbazepine, felbamate, lamotrigine, oxcarbazepine, rufinamide, topiramate, vigabatrin and valproic acid are grouped as mild inducers which may (i)be inducers only in high doses; (ii)frequently combine with inhibitory properties; and (iii)take months to reach maximum effects or de-induction, definitively longer than the potent inducers. Potent inducers, definitively, and mild inducers, possibly, have relevant effects in the endogenous metabolism of (i)sexual hormones, (ii) vitamin D, (iii)thyroid hormones, (iv)lipid metabolism, and (v)folic acid.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Prior clozapine studies indicated no effects, mild inhibition or induction of valproic acid (VPA) on clozapine metabolism. The hypotheses that (i) VPA is a net inducer of clozapine metabolism, and (ii) smoking modifies this inductive effect were tested in a therapeutic drug monitoring study. METHODS After excluding strong inhibitors and inducers, 353 steady-state total clozapine (clozapine plus norclozapine) concentrations provided by 151 patients were analyzed using a random intercept linear model. RESULTS VPA appeared to be an inducer of clozapine metabolism since total plasma clozapine concentrations in subjects taking VPA were significantly lower (27% lower; 95% confidence interval, 14-39%) after controlling for confounding variables including smoking (35% lower, 28-56%). DISCUSSION Prospective studies are needed to definitively establish that VPA may (i) be an inducer of clozapine metabolism when induction prevails over competitive inhibition, and (ii) be an inducer even in smokers who are under the influence of smoking inductive effects on clozapine metabolism.
