Investigation of smoking on the antiplatelet response to clopidogrel: Unravelling the smoker's paradox. Pathol Res Pract 2024; 257:155290.

Abstract
The intricate relationship between smoking and the effects of the antiplatelet drug clopidogrel has been termed the "smoker's paradox". This paradox details the enhanced efficacy of clopidogrel in smokers compared to non-smokers. This review begins with an exploration of the proposed mechanisms of the smoker's paradox, particularly drawing attention to the induction of cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzymes via tobacco smoke, specifically the enzymes CYP1A2 and CYP2C19. Moreover, an investigation of the effects of genetic variability on the smoker's paradox was undertaken from both clinical and molecular perspectives, delving into the effects of ethnicity and genetic polymorphisms. The intriguing role of CYP1A2 genotypes and the response to clopidogrel in smoking and non-smoking populations was examined conferring insight into the individuality rather than universality of the smoker's paradox. CYP1A2 induction is hypothesised to elucidate the potency of smoking in exerting a counteracting effect in those taking clopidogrel who possess CYP2C19 loss of function polymorphisms. Furthermore, we assess the comparative efficacies of clopidogrel and other antiplatelet agents, namely prasugrel and ticagrelor. Studies indicated that prasugrel and ticagrelor provided a more consistent effect and further reduced platelet reactivity compared to clopidogrel within both smoking and non-smoking populations. Personalised dosing was another focus of the review considering patient comorbidities, genetic makeup, and smoking status with the objective of improving the antiplatelet response of those taking clopidogrel. In summation, this review provides insight into multiple areas of research concerning clopidogrel and the smoker's paradox taking into account proposed mechanisms, genetics, other antiplatelet agents, and personalised dosing.

Clin Pharmacokinet 2023; 62:1621-1637. [PMID: 37755681 PMCID: PMC11003701 DOI: 10.1007/s40262-023-01294-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Escitalopram and sertraline are commonly prescribed for anxiety and depressive disorders in children and adolescents. The pharmacokinetics (PK) of these medications have been evaluated in adults and demonstrate extensive variability, but studies in pediatric patients are limited. Therefore, we performed a population PK analysis for escitalopram and sertraline in children and adolescents to characterize the effects of demographic, clinical, and pharmacogenetic factors on drug exposure. METHODS A PK dataset was generated by extracting data from the electronic health record and opportunistic sampling of escitalopram- and sertraline-treated psychiatrically hospitalized pediatric patients aged 5-18 years. A population PK analysis of escitalopram and sertraline was performed using NONMEM. Concentration-time profiles were simulated using MwPharm++ to evaluate how covariates included in the final models influence medication exposure and compared to adult therapeutic reference ranges. RESULTS The final escitalopram cohort consisted of 315 samples from 288 patients, and the sertraline cohort consisted of 265 samples from 255 patients. A one-compartment model with a proportional residual error model best described the data for both medications. For escitalopram, CYP2C19 phenotype and concomitant CYP2C19 inhibitors affected apparent clearance (CL/F), and normalizing CL/F and apparent volume of distribution (V/F) to body surface area (BSA) improved estimations. The final escitalopram model estimated CL/F and V/F at 14.2 L/h/1.73 m2 and 428 L/1.73 m2, respectively. For sertraline, CYP2C19 phenotype and concomitant CYP2C19 inhibitors influenced CL/F, and empirical allometric scaling of patient body weight on CL/F and V/F was significant. The final sertraline model estimated CL/F and V/F at 124 L/h/70 kg and 4320 L/70 kg, respectively. Normalized trough concentrations (Ctrough) for CYP2C19 poor metabolizers taking escitalopram were 3.98-fold higher compared to normal metabolizers (151.1 ng/mL vs 38.0 ng/mL, p < 0.0001), and normalized Ctrough for CYP2C19 poor metabolizers taking sertraline were 3.23-fold higher compared to normal, rapid, and ultrarapid metabolizers combined (121.7 ng/mL vs 37.68 ng/mL, p < 0.0001). Escitalopram- and sertraline-treated poor metabolizers may benefit from a dose reduction of 50-75% and 25-50%, respectively, to normalize exposure to other phenotypes. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this is the largest population PK analysis of escitalopram and sertraline in pediatric patients. Significant PK variability for both medications was observed and was largely explained by CYP2C19 phenotype. Slower CYP2C19 metabolizers taking escitalopram or sertraline may benefit from dose reductions given increased exposure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Up to 70% individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) are lifetime tobacco smokers, a major modifiable risk factor for morbidity. However, quitting smoking is rarely proposed to individuals with BD, mainly because of fear of unfavorable metabolic or psychiatric changes. Evaluating the physical and mental impact of tobacco cessation is primordial. The aim of this study was to characterize the psychiatric and nonpsychiatric correlates of tobacco smoking status (never- vs. current vs. former smokers) in individuals with BD. METHODS 3860 individuals with ascertained BD recruited in the network of Fondamental expert centers for BD between 2009 and 2020 were categorized into current, former, and never tobacco smokers. We compared the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics assessed by standard instruments (e.g., BD type, current symptoms load, and non-psychiatric morbidity-including anthropometric and biological data) of the three groups using multinomial regression logistic models. Corrections for multiple testing were applied. RESULTS Current smokers had higher depression, anxiety, and impulsivity levels than former and never-smokers, and also higher risk of comorbid substance use disorders with a gradient from never to former to current smokers-suggesting shared liability. Current smokers were at higher risk to have a metabolic syndrome than never-smokers, although this was only evidenced in cases, who were not using antipsychotics. CONCLUSIONS Tobacco smoking was associated with high morbidity level. Strikingly, as in the general population, quitting smoking seemed associated with their return to the never-smokers' levels. Our findings strongly highlight the need to spread strategies to treat tobacco addiction in the BD population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cross sectional therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) data mining introduces new opportunities for the investigation of medication treatment effects to find optimal therapeutic windows. Medication discontinuation has been proven useful as an objective surrogate marker to assess treatment failure. This study aimed to investigate the treatment effects of escitalopram and pharmacokinetic influences on blood levels using retrospectively assessed data from a TDM database. METHODS Data was collected from 134 patients longitudinally treated with escitalopram for whom TDM was requested to guide drug therapy. Escitalopram metabolism was estimated by the log-transformed dose-corrected concentrations and compared within subpopulations differing in age, gender, renal function, smoking status, body mass index, and comedication. RESULTS Patients with a depressive episode who were treated with escitalopram and discontinued the treatment within the hospital stay showed lower serum concentrations compared to patients who continued escitalopram treatment with a concentration of 15 ng/mL separating both groups. Variability was high between individuals and factors influencing blood levels, including dose, sex, and age. Comedication that inhibits cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 isoenzymes were further found to influence escitalopram pharmacokinetics independent of dose, age or sex. DISCUSSION Medication switch is a valuable objective surrogate marker to assess treatment effects under real-world conditions. Of note, treatment discontinuation is not always a cause of insufficient response but may also be related to other factors such as medication side effects. TDM might not only be useful in addressing these issues but titrating drug concentrations into the currently recommended reference range for escitalopram will also increase response in non-responders and avoid treatment failure in underdosed patients.

Population pharmacokinetics model for escitalopram in Chinese psychiatric patients: effect of CYP2C19 and age. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:964758. [PMID: 35924062 PMCID: PMC9340256 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.964758] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2022] [Accepted: 06/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: To establish a population pharmacokinetic model in Chinese psychiatric patients to characterize escitalopram pharmacokinetic profile to identify factors influencing drug exposure, and through simulation to compare the results with the established therapeutic reference range. Methods: Demographic information, dosing regimen, CYP2C19 genotype, concomitant medications, and liver and kidney function indicators were retrospectively collected for inpatients taking escitalopram with therapeutic drug monitoring from 2018 to 2021. Nonlinear mixed-effects modeling was used to model the pharmacokinetic characteristics of escitalopram. Goodness-of-fit plots, bootstrapping, and normalized prediction distribution errors were used to evaluate the model. Simulation for different dosing regimens was based on the final estimations. Results: The study comprised 106 patients and 337 measurements of serum sample. A structural model with one compartment with first-order absorption and elimination described the data adequately. The population-estimated apparent volume of distribution and apparent clearance were 815 and 16.3 L/h, respectively. Age and CYP2C19 phenotype had a significant effect on the apparent clearance (CL/F). CL/F of escitalopram decreased with increased age, and CL/F of poor metabolizer patients was significantly lower than in extensive and immediate metabolizer patients. The final model-based simulation showed that the daily dose of adolescents with poor metabolizer might be as high as 15 mg or 20 mg and referring to the therapeutic range for adults may result in overdose and a high risk of adverse effects in older patients. Conclusion: A population pharmacokinetics model of escitalopram was successfully created for the Chinese population. Depending on the age of the patients, CYP2C19 genotype and serum drug concentrations throughout treatment are required for adequate individualization of dosing regimens. When developing a regimen for older patients, especially those who are poor metabolizers, vigilance is required.

A Double-Blind Randomized Trial to Investigate Mechanisms of Antidepressant-Related Dysfunctional Arousal in Depressed or Anxious Youth at Familial Risk for Bipolar Disorder. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12061006. [PMID: 35743790 PMCID: PMC9225632 DOI: 10.3390/jpm12061006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2022] [Revised: 06/11/2022] [Accepted: 06/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Antidepressants are standardly used to treat moderate to severe symptoms of depression and/or anxiety in youth but may also be associated with rare but serious psychiatric adverse events such as irritability, agitation, aggression, or suicidal ideation. Adverse events are especially common in youth with a family history of bipolar disorder (BD) who are at heightened risk for dysfunction in neurobiological systems that regulate emotion and arousal. To further understand this phenomenon, this study will examine (a) baseline risk factors associated with dysfunctional arousal in a sample of youth at high-risk for BD treated with or without an antidepressant, (b) whether antidepressant-related changes in arousal are mediated by changes in prefrontal-limbic circuitry, and (c) whether pharmacogenetic factors influence antidepressant-related changes in arousal. High-risk youth (aged 12-17 years with moderate to severe depressive and/or anxiety symptoms and at least one first-degree relative with bipolar I disorder) will be randomized to receive psychotherapy plus escitalopram or psychotherapy plus placebo. Neuroimaging and behavioral measures of arousal will be collected prior to randomization and at 4 weeks. Samples for pharmacogenetic analysis (serum escitalopram concentration, CYP2C19 metabolizer phenotype, and HTR2A and SLC6A4 genotypes) will be collected at 8 weeks. Youth will be followed for up to 16 weeks to assess change in arousal measures.

Metabolizing status of CYP2C19 in response and side effects to medications for depression: Results from a naturalistic study. Eur Neuropsychopharmacol 2022; 56:100-111.

Abstract
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. Polymorphisms in cytochrome P450 genes (CYP450) were demonstrated to play a significant role in antidepressant response and side effects, but their effect in real-world clinical practice is poorly known. We determined the metabolic status of CYP2C19 based on the combination of *1, *2, *3 and *17 alleles extracted from genome-wide data in 1239 patients with MDD, pharmacologically treated in a naturalistic setting. Symptom improvement and side effects were assessed using the Montgomery and Åsberg Depression Rating Scale and the Udvalg for Kliniske Undersøgelse scale, respectively. We tested if symptom improvement, response and side effects were associated with CYP2C19 metabolic status adjusting for potential confounders. We considered patients treated with drugs for depression having CYP2C19 genotyping recommended by guidelines (T1 Drugs); secondarily, with all psychotropic drugs having CYP2C19 as relevant metabolic path (T2 Drugs). In the group treated with T1 drugs (n = 540), poor metabolizers (PMs) showed higher response and higher symptom improvement compared to normal metabolizers (p = 0.023 and p = 0.009, respectively), but also higher risk of autonomic and neurological side effects (p = 0.022 and p = 0.022 respectively). In patients treated with T2 drugs (n = 801), similar results were found. No associations between metabolizer status and other types of side effects were found (psychic and other side effects). Our study suggests potential advantages of CYP2C19 pharmacogenetic testing to guide treatment prescription, that may not be limited to the drugs currently recommended by guidelines.

Systematic review and meta-analysis on the therapeutic reference range for escitalopram: Blood concentrations, clinical effects and serotonin transporter occupancy. Front Psychiatry 2022; 13:972141. [PMID: 36325531 PMCID: PMC9621321 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2022.972141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2022] [Accepted: 09/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION A titration within a certain therapeutic reference range presupposes a relationship between the blood concentration and the therapeutic effect of a drug. However, this has not been systematically investigated for escitalopram. Furthermore, the recommended reference range disagrees with mean steady state concentrations (11-21 ng/ml) that are expected under the approved dose range (10-20 mg/day). This work systematically investigated the relationships between escitalopram dose, blood levels, clinical effects, and serotonin transporter occupancy. METHODS Following our previously published methodology, relevant articles were systematically searched and reviewed for escitalopram. RESULTS Of 1,032 articles screened, a total of 30 studies met the eligibility criteria. The included studies investigated escitalopram blood levels in relationship to clinical effects (9 studies) or moderating factors on escitalopram metabolism (12 studies) or serotonin transporter occupancy (9 studies). Overall, the evidence for an escitalopram concentration/effect relationship is low (level C). CONCLUSION Based on our findings, we propose a target range of 20-40 ng/ml for antidepressant efficacy of escitalopram. In maintenance treatment, therapeutic response is expected, when titrating patients above the lower limit. The lower concentration threshold is strongly supported by findings from neuroimaging studies. The upper limit for escitalopram's reference range rather reflects a therapeutic maximum than a tolerability threshold, since the incidence of side effects in general is low. Concentrations above 40 ng/ml should not necessarily result in dose reductions in case of good clinical efficacy and tolerability. Dose-related escitalopram concentrations in different trials were more than twice the expected concentrations from guideline reports.

Treatment of depression: Are psychotropic drugs appropriately dosed in women and in the elderly? Dosages of psychotropic drugs by sex and age in routine clinical practice. Hum Psychopharmacol 2022; 37:e2809. [PMID: 34464471 DOI: 10.1002/hup.2809] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2021] [Revised: 07/30/2021] [Accepted: 08/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several researchers have shown higher concentration-dose ratios of psychotropic drugs in women and the elderly. Therefore, lower dosages of psychotropic drugs may be recommended in women and the elderly. This study describes sex- and age-related dosage of psychotropic drugs prescribed to patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) in routine clinical practice. METHOD Influence of sex and age on dosages are analysed for the 10 most commonly prescribed drugs in our dataset consisting of 32,082 inpatients with MDD. Data stems from the European drug safety program "Arzneimittelsicherheit in der Psychiatrie". The observed sex and age differences in prescriptions are compared to differences described in literature on age- and gender-related pharmacokinetics. RESULTS Among patients over 65 years, a statistically significant decrease in dosages with increasing age (between 0.65% and 2.83% for each increasing year of age) was observed, except for zopiclone. However, only slight or no influence of sex-related adjustment of dosage in prescriptions was found. CONCLUSION Age appears to influence adjustment of dosage in most psychotropic drugs, but to a lower extent than data on age-related pharmacokinetics suggests. Although literature also suggests that lower dosages of psychotropic drugs may be appropriate for females, this study found women are usually prescribed the same dosage as men.

Abstract
Assessment of aerosols effects on liver CYP function generally involves aqueous fractions (AF). Although easy and efficient, this method has not been optimized recently or comparatively assessed against other aerosol exposure methods. Here, we comparatively evaluated the effects of the AFs of cigarette smoke (CS) and Tobacco Heating System (THS) aerosols on CYP activity in liver spheroids. We then used these data to develop a physiological aerosol exposure system combining a multi-organs-on-a-chip, 3D lung tissues, liver spheroids, and a direct aerosol exposure system. Liver spheroids incubated with CS AF showed a dose-dependent increase in CYP1A1/1B1, CYP1A2, and CYP2B6 activity and a dose-dependent decrease in CYP2C9, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4 activity relative to untreated tissues. In our physiological exposure system, repeated CS exposure of the bronchial tissues also caused CYP1A1/1B1 and CYP1A2 induction in the bronchial tissues and liver spheroids; but the spheroids showed an increase in CYP3A4 activity and no effect on CYP2C9 or CYP2D6 activity relative to air-exposed tissues, which resembles the results reported in smokers. THS aerosol did not affect CYP activity in bronchial or liver tissues, even at 4 times higher concentrations than CS. In conclusion, our system allows us to physiologically test the effects of CS or other aerosols on lung and liver tissues cultured in the same chip circuit, thus delivering more in vivo like data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rates of overweight and obesity are higher in patients suffering from psychiatric disorders than in the general population. Body composition and enzyme functions are affected by overweight, and consequently, the pharmacokinetics of drugs may vary in overweight patients. Thus, overweight and obesity are important factors in psychiatric disorders and their treatment. This analysis aimed to investigate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on serum concentrations of the antidepressant drugs amitriptyline, doxepin, escitalopram, mirtazapine, and venlafaxine, and the antipsychotic drugs clozapine, quetiapine, and risperidone, taking into account the following confounding parameters: age, sex, and smoking habit. METHODS Inpatients and outpatients (N = 1657) who took at least one of the target drugs were included in this retrospective analysis. Serum concentrations of the target drugs and their metabolites were determined at the Department of Psychiatry, Psychosomatics, and Psychotherapy of the University Hospital of Würzburg during routine therapeutic drug monitoring (January 2009-December 2010), which was performed in the morning (trough level) at steady state. RESULTS Dose-corrected serum concentrations (CD) of the active moiety of doxepin and venlafaxine and of O-desmethylvenlafaxine were negatively associated with BMI (partial Pearson correlation, R = -0.267, P = 0.002; R = -0.206, P ≤ 0.001; R = -0.258, P ≤ 0.001), and the CDs were different in normal weight, overweight, and obese patients (analysis of covariance, P = 0.004, P < 0.001, P ≤ 0.001). No association was found between BMI and serum concentrations of amitriptyline, escitalopram, mirtazapine, clozapine, quetiapine, and risperidone. CONCLUSIONS In obese patients, higher doses of doxepin and venlafaxine are necessary to achieve similar serum concentrations as in normal weight patients and to avoid treatment-resistant depression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Comparative pharmacokinetic data about the antidepressant venlafaxine (VEN) and the antipsychotic drug risperidone (RIS) over the lifespan and especially in children and adolescents is lacking. This is the first cross-sectional study that aimed to investigate differences in dose-corrected serum concentrations (CDs) and metabolite to parent compound ratios (MPRs) of VEN and RIS across the lifespan. METHODS Patients treated with VEN and RIS at the University Hospital of Würzburg, Germany were included in the study. Serum level determinations were performed during clinical routine care. Patients with CYP2D6 influencing co-medication were excluded from analyses. RESULTS In 953 patients (12-93 years) treated with VEN and 552 patients (7-92 years) treated with RIS, children/adolescents (<18 years) showed 11% and 19%, and 44% and 42% lower CDs of the active moieties (CDsAM) of VEN and RIS than adults and elderly (≥60 years) (Kruskal-Wallis tests; p ≤ 0.001). However, when CDs were normalized to body weight, a different pattern emerged. Gender differences, with higher CDsAM in females were present in adults and elderlies but not in children/adolescents. No gender- or age-dependent difference in MPRs was found; however, 80% of MPRs of RIS in children/adolescents were below the range of "normal" CYP2D6 function for adults. CONCLUSIONS We suggest a higher clearance as a reason for lower CDsAM of VEN and RIS in children/adolescents compared to adults/elderlies. Metabolism of VEN or RIS by CYP2D6, characterized by MPRs, was not associated with age. However, MPRs of RIS were lower in children/adolescents, possibly due to a higher renal clearance of 9-OH-risperidone.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Major smoking effects have been reported for a series of psychotropic agents, mainly including substrates of CYP450 1A2, although smoking may also affect alternative metabolic pathways. To our knowledge, smoking effects on paliperidone pharmacokinetics have not been assessed yet. METHODS We compared plasma concentrations of paliperidone as well as dose-corrected-plasma concentrations (C/D) from a naturalistic database between smokers and nonsmokers using nonparametrical tests, such as the Mann-Whitney U-test (MWU). Additionally, we compared light and heavy smokers with nonsmokers separately. RESULTS Comparing 55 smokers with 37 nonsmokers treated with oral paliperidone, no differences in the percentage of females, age, body weight, body mass index, and daily paliperidone dose were reported (p=0.709 for χ2, p=0.26, p=0.38, p=0.67, and p=0.8 for MWU). No differences were detected in plasma concentrations or C/D values (p=0.50 and p=0.96 for MWU). Likewise, differences in daily dose, plasma concentrations, or C/D values were not significant between light smokers (n=17) and nonsmokers (p=0.61, p=0.81, and p=0.33 for MWU) or heavy smokers (n=22) and nonsmokers (p=0.874, p=0.38, and p=0.59; MWU in all cases). DISCUSSION Paliperidone is not affected by smoking, and paliperidone dose-adjustments in smokers may not be necessary. This may be seen as an essential difference to risperidone, whose cytochrome-mediated metabolism might be affected by smoking.
