Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the efficacy of the neurokinin 3 receptor antagonist, fezolinetant, according to several intrinsic (individual related) and extrinsic (external influence) factors that may influence the frequency and severity of moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms (VMS) using pooled 12-week data from SKYLIGHT 1 and 2. METHODS SKYLIGHT 1 and 2 were two phase 3, randomized, double-blind studies conducted from July 2019 to August 2021 (SKYLIGHT 1) or April 2021 (SKYLIGHT 2). Participants were initially randomized to receive daily doses of placebo, fezolinetant 30 mg, or fezolinetant 45 mg. After 12 weeks, placebo participants were rerandomized to receive fezolinetant 30 mg or 45 mg, whereas those receiving fezolinetant continued on the same dose. Change in VMS frequency from baseline to week 12 was used to assess efficacy according to several intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Overall efficacy and safety were also investigated. RESULTS Overall, 1,022 individuals were included. Fezolinetant was efficacious in reducing VMS frequency across all intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Efficacy was most notable for participants who self-identify as Black (least squares mean difference for fezolinetant 45 mg versus placebo, -3.67; 95% CI, -5.32 to -2.01), current smokers (-3.48; -5.19 to -1.77), and current alcohol users (-3.48; -4.42 to -2.54). Overall efficacy was -2.51 (95% CI, -3.20 to -1.82) for fezolinetant 45 mg versus placebo. Similar findings were observed for the fezolinetant 30 mg dose. Comparable incidences of treatment-emergent adverse events were observed for placebo (132 of 342 individuals [38.6%]), fezolinetant 30 mg (132 of 340 individuals [38.8%]), and fezolinetant 45 mg (135 of 340 individuals [39.7%]). CONCLUSIONS None of the intrinsic and extrinsic factors analyzed substantially reduced the efficacy response to fezolinetant in SKYLIGHT 1 and 2. These data provide additional confidence for using fezolinetant in a diverse population of individuals with VMS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP)2D6. Only small-scale studies have reported the impact of CYP2D6 genotype on paroxetine exposure, and international guidelines differ in their recommendations on whether paroxetine should be administered according to CYP2D6 genotype. To clarify this issue, the aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of CYP2D6 genotype on paroxetine serum concentration in a large population of patients after adjusting for CYP2C19 genotype, age, and sex. METHODS Patients from a therapeutic drug monitoring database with records on their paroxetine serum concentrations and CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 genotyping between 2010 and 2021 were included in the study. The impact of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 genotypes, age, and sex on the paroxetine concentration-to-dose (C/D) ratio was investigated by multiple linear regression analysis. Patients treated with relevant CYP inhibitors or inducers were excluded. RESULTS In total, 304 patients were included in the study: 17 CYP2D6 poor metabolizers (PMs), 114 intermediate metabolizers (IMs), 168 extensive metabolizers (EMs), and 5 ultrarapid metabolizers. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that CYP2D6 IMs and PMs had 2.2-fold and 3.8-fold higher paroxetine C/D-ratios than extensive metabolizers, respectively ( P < 0.001). Patients who were CYP2C19 IMs (n = 70) or PMs (n = 13) had 1.6-fold higher paroxetine C/D ratio than extensive metabolizers ( P = 0.04). An age ≥65 years was associated with a 2.9-fold increased C/D ratio ( P < 0.001), whereas sex was not significantly associated with paroxetine exposure. CONCLUSIONS The present study showed that CYP2D6 genotype is of significant importance for paroxetine dose adjustments. For CYP2D6 PMs, 25% of the regular paroxetine starting dose may be sufficient, whereas CYP2D6 IMs could receive 50% of the regular dosage. This well-powered study shows that the guidelines should consider the importance of CYP2D6 genotype for personalized dosing of paroxetine.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP)-mediated metabolisms of four chemicals have been investigated to understand their unresolved phenomena of their metabolisms using human CYP-Template systems developed in our previous studies (Drug Metab Pharmacokinet 2019, 2021, 2022). Simulation experiments of a topoisomerase-targeting agent, amonafide, offered a possible new inhibitory-mechanism as Trigger-residue inactivation on human CYP1A2 Template. N-Acetylamonafide as well as amonafide would inactivate CYP1A2 through the interference of Trigger-residue movement with their dimethylaminoethyl parts. The mechanism was also supported on the inhibition/inactivation of two other drugs, DSP-1053 and binimetinib. Both the drugs, after other CYP-mediated slight structural alterations, were expected to interact with Trigger-residue for the intense inhibition on CYP1A2 Template. Possible formation of reactive intermediates of amonafide and 3-methylindole was also examined on CYP1A2 Template. Placements of amonafide suggested the scare N-oxidation of the arylamine part due to the Trigger-residue interaction. Placements of 3-methylindole suggested the formation of a reactive intermediate, 3-methyleneindolenine, rather selectively on rodent CYP1A2 than on human CYP1A2, in consistent with the experimental data. These results suggest that CYP Template systems developed are effective tools to warn an appearance of unstable reactive intermediates. Our CYP-Template systems would support confident judgements in safety assessments through offering the mechanistic understandings of the metabolism.

Abstract
Paroxetine is one of the most potent selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) approved for treating depression, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. There is evidence linking genetic polymorphisms and nonlinear metabolism to the Paroxetine’s pharmacokinetic (PK) variability. The purpose of the present study was to develop a population PK (PPK) model of paroxetine in Chinese patients, which was used to define the paroxetine’s PK parameters and quantify the effect of clinical and baseline demographic factors on these PK characteristics. The study included 184 inpatients with psychosis (103 females and 81 males), with a total of 372 serum concentrations of paroxetine for PPK analyses. The total daily dosage ranged from 20 to 75 mg. One compartment model could fit the PKs characterize of paroxetine. Covariate analysis revealed that dose, formulation, and sex had a significant effect on the PK parameters of paroxetine; however, there was no evident genetic influence of CYP2D6 enzymes on paroxetine concentrations in Chinese patients. The study determined that the population’s apparent distribution volume (V/F) and apparent clearance (CL/F), respectively, were 8850 and 21.2 L/h. The CL/F decreased 1-2-fold for each 10 mg dose increase, whereas the different formulations caused a decrease in V/F of 66.6%. Sex was found to affect bioavailability (F), which decreased F by 47.5%. Females had higher F values than males. This PPK model described data from patients with psychosis who received paroxetine immediate-release tablets (IR-T) and/or sustained-release tablets (SR-T). Paroxetine trough concentrations and relative bioavailability were different between formulations and sex. The altered serum concentrations of paroxetine resulting from individual variants and additive effects need to be considered, to optimize the dosage regimen for individual patients.

Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling to Describe the CYP2D6 Activity Score-Dependent Metabolism of Paroxetine, Atomoxetine and Risperidone. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14081734. [PMID: 36015360 PMCID: PMC9414337 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14081734] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2022] [Revised: 08/12/2022] [Accepted: 08/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) genotype is the single most important determinant of CYP2D6 activity as well as interindividual and interpopulation variability in CYP2D6 activity. Here, the CYP2D6 activity score provides an established tool to categorize the large number of CYP2D6 alleles by activity and facilitates the process of genotype-to-phenotype translation. Compared to the broad traditional phenotype categories, the CYP2D6 activity score additionally serves as a superior scale of CYP2D6 activity due to its finer graduation. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models have been successfully used to describe and predict the activity score-dependent metabolism of CYP2D6 substrates. This study aimed to describe CYP2D6 drug–gene interactions (DGIs) of important CYP2D6 substrates paroxetine, atomoxetine and risperidone by developing a substrate-independent approach to model their activity score-dependent metabolism. The models were developed in PK-Sim®, using a total of 57 plasma concentration–time profiles, and showed good performance, especially in DGI scenarios where 10/12, 5/5 and 7/7 of DGI AUClast ratios and 9/12, 5/5 and 7/7 of DGI Cmax ratios were within the prediction success limits. Finally, the models were used to predict their compound’s exposure for different CYP2D6 activity scores during steady state. Here, predicted DGI AUCss ratios were 3.4, 13.6 and 2.0 (poor metabolizers; activity score = 0) and 0.2, 0.5 and 0.95 (ultrarapid metabolizers; activity score = 3) for paroxetine, atomoxetine and risperidone active moiety (risperidone + 9-hydroxyrisperidone), respectively.

Application of empirical scalars to enable early prediction of human hepatic clearance using IVIVE in drug discovery: an evaluation of 173 drugs. Drug Metab Dispos 2022; 50:DMD-AR-2021-000784.

Abstract
The utilization of in vitro data to predict drug pharmacokinetics (PK) in vivo has been a consistent practice in early drug discovery for decades. However, its success is hampered by mispredictions attributed to uncharacterized biological phenomena/experimental artifacts. Predicted drug clearance (CL) from experimental data (i.e. hepatocyte intrinsic clearance: CLint, fraction unbound in plasma: fu,p) is often systematically underpredicted using the well-stirred model (WSM). The objective of this study was to evaluate using empirical scalars in the WSM to correct for CL mispredictions. Drugs (N=28) were used to generate numerical scalars on CLint (α), and fu,p (β) to minimize the error (AAFE) for CL predictions. These scalars were validated using an additional dataset (N=28 drugs) and applied to a non-redundant AstraZeneca (AZ) dataset available in the literature (N=117 drugs) for a total of 173 compounds. CL predictions using the WSM were improved for most compounds using an α value of 3.66 (~64%<2-fold) compared to no scaling (~46%<2-fold). Similarly, using a β value of 0.55 or combination of α and β scalars (values of 1.74 and 0.66, respectively) resulted in a similar improvement in predictions (~64%<2-fold and ~65%<2-fold, respectively). For highly bound compounds (fu,p{less than or equal to}0.01), AAFE was substantially reduced across all scaling methods. Using the β scalar alone or a combination of α and β appeared optimal; and produce larger magnitude corrections for highly-bound compounds. Some drugs are still disproportionally mispredicted, however the improvements in prediction error and simplicity of applying these scalars suggests its utility for early-stage CL predictions. Significance Statement In early drug discovery, prediction of human clearance using in vitro experimental data plays an essential role in triaging compounds prior to in vivo studies. These predictions have been systematically underestimated. Here we introduce empirical scalars calibrated on the extent of plasma protein binding that appear to improve clearance prediction across multiple datasets. This approach can be used in early phases of drug discovery prior to the availability of pre-clinical data for early quantitative predictions of human clearance.

Effects of sedative psychotropic drugs combined with oxycodone on respiratory depression in the rat. Clin Transl Sci 2021; 14:2208-2219.

Abstract
Following a decision to require label warnings for concurrent use of opioids and benzodiazepines and increased risk of respiratory depression and death, the US Food and Drug Administratioin (FDA) recognized that other sedative psychotropic drugs may be substituted for benzodiazepines and be used concurrently with opioids. In some cases, data on the ability of these alternatives to depress respiration alone or in conjunction with an opioid are lacking. A nonclinical in vivo model was developed that could detect worsening respiratory depression when a benzodiazepine (diazepam) was used in combination with an opioid (oxycodone) compared to the opioid alone based on an increased arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2 ). The current study used that model to assess the impact on respiration of non-benzodiazepine sedative psychotropic drugs representative of different drug classes (clozapine, quetiapine, risperidone, zolpidem, trazodone, carisoprodol, cyclobenzaprine, mirtazapine, topiramate, paroxetine, duloxetine, ramelteon, and suvorexant) administered alone and with oxycodone. At clinically relevant exposures, paroxetine, trazodone, and quetiapine given with oxycodone significantly increased pCO2 above the oxycodone effect. Analyses indicated that most pCO2 interaction effects were due to pharmacokinetic interactions resulting in increased oxycodone exposure. Increased pCO2 recorded with oxycodone-paroxetine co-administration exceeded expected effects from only drug exposure suggesting another mechanism for the increased pharmacodynamic response. This study identified drug-drug interaction effects depressing respiration in an animal model when quetiapine or paroxetine were co-administered with oxycodone. Clinical pharmacodynamic drug interaction studies are being conducted with these drugs to assess translatability of these findings.

Abstract
The mechanism-based inactivation (MBI) of P450 by paroxetine was investigated by computational analysis. The drug-enzyme interactions were figured out through studying energy profiles of three competing mechanisms. The potency of paroxetine as P450's inhibitor was estimated based on the availability of two active sites for the MBI in the paroxetine structure. The inactivation by the amino site of paroxetine mainly proceeds via the hydrogen atom transfer pathway because of the lower energy demand of its rate determining step. In addition, the low-spin state is the predominant route in the MBI at the methylenedioxo active site as a result of being rebound barrier-free mechanism. Our comparative investigation showed that inactivation at the secondary amine is thermodynamically more favorable because of the lower energy barrier of the dehydration mechanism of the hydroxylated paroxetine complex than its methylenedioxo counterpart. The results of docking analysis coincided with the outputs of DFT calculations since the docking pose with the lowest binding affinity is that for conformation with polar interaction between the amino group of paroxetine and the oxo moiety of P450's active site. Assessment of the molecular dynamics simulations trajectories revealed the favorable interaction of paroxetine with P450.

Abstract
Paroxetine is a potent inhibitor of serotonin reuptake and is widely prescribed for the treatment of depression and other neurological disorders. The synthesis of paroxetine and the possibility to prepare derivatives with a specific substitution pattern that may allow their use as biological probes is an attractive topic especially for medicinal chemists engaged in neurosciences research. Considering the extensive work that was developed in the last decade on the total synthesis of paroxetine, this review summarizes the most important contributions in this field, organized according to the reagent that was used as a starting material. Most of the methods allowed to prepare paroxetine in 4-9 steps with an overall yield of 9-66%. Despite the progress made in this area, there is still room for improvement, searching for new eco-friendly and sustainable synthetic alternatives.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to establish physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models of tramadol and its active metabolite O-desmethyltramadol (M1) and to explore the influence of CYP2D6 gene polymorphism on the pharmacokinetics of tramadol and M1. Furthermore, we used PBPK modeling to prospectively predict the extent of drug-drug interactions (DDIs) in the presence of genetic polymorphisms when tramadol was co-administered with the CYP2D6 inhibitors duloxetine and paroxetine. METHODS Plasma concentrations of tramadol and M1 were used to adjust the turnover frequency (Kcat ) of CYP2D6 for phenotype populations with different CYP2D6 genotypes. PBPK models were developed to capture the pharmacokinetics between CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers (EMs), intermediate metabolizers (IMs), poor metabolizers (PMs), and ultra-rapid metabolizers (UMs). The validated models were then used to support dose adjustment in different CYP2D6 phenotypes and to predict the extent of CYP2D6-mediated DDIs when tramadol was co-administered with paroxetine or duloxetine. RESULTS The PBPK models we built accurately describe tramadol and M1 exposure in the population with different CYP2D6 phenotypes. In our prediction, the area under the concentration-time curve (AUCinf-tDlast ) of M1 is 70% lower in PMs than in EMs, 27% lower in IMs, and 15% higher in UMs. Based on the models we built, we suggest that the oral dose of tramadol should be 50% higher for IMs and 25% lower for UMs to achieve an approximately equivalent plasma exposure of M1 as in EMs. When tramadol was co-administered with paroxetine or duloxetine, the magnitude of the inhibitor-substrate interaction was lowest in EMs (0.45), secondary in IMs (0.39), and highest in PMs (0.18) in terms of M1. CONCLUSION The current example uses the PBPK model to guide dose adjustment of tramadol and to predict the effect of CYP2D6 genetic polymorphisms on DDIs for rational clinical use of tramadol in the future.

Abstract
Background:
Since warfarin has a very narrow therapeutic index, the interaction between
warfarin and antidepressants is very critical and has potentially severe consequences. It is unclear
whether clinicians have sufficient knowledge about the risk of bleeding when warfarin and antidepressants
are used concomitantly.
Objective:
In this systematic review, we discuss the main considerations when using warfarin with
antidepressants.
Methods:
The information about warfarin-antidepressant interactions was obtained from Google
Scholar®, PubMed/MEDLINE® and a hand search of the published literature. The following research
terms which were systematically combined with each other to find articles: warfarin, anticoagulant,
interactions, antidepressant (and each antidepressant name individually), SSRI, SNRI, TCA, MAOI.
Results:
Several possible mechanisms that can cause bleeding when antidepressants and warfarin
are used concomitantly, have been discussed. According to the available data, sertraline and citalopram/
escitalopram are safer antidepressants to use with warfarin, whereas fluoxetine and fluvoxamine
have a higher interaction potential with warfarin. The remaining antidepressants appear to lie
somewhere in between and have little empirical data to guide the clinicians.
Conclusion:
It is recommended that when an antidepressant is prescribed to a patient using warfarin,
patient’s international normalized ratio (INR) level should be checked regularly. In this review,
the interaction between warfarin and antidepressants, including new ones, were evaluated
inclusively and in detail.

Abstract
PURPOSE In recent years, several publications have demonstrated the interest and the usefulness of pharmacogenetics in forensic toxicology. However, this approach remains namely focused on DNA-based phenotype, which may potentially lead to misinterpretation. Other determinants such as co-medication or physiological parameters may also impact the phenotype. This article aims to highlight the importance of considering such determinants in forensic toxicology, through the original case of a heroin-related fatality. METHOD Ethanol concentration determination and toxicological screening were performed using gas chromatography with flame ionization detection, liquid chromatography with diode array detection and gas chromatography with mass spectrometry detection. CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 genotypes were determined by Taqman® real-time PCR analyses. RESULTS Femoral blood analyses revealed the presence of ethanol, morphine, codeine, venlafaxine (VEN), O-desmethylvenlafaxine (ODV) and N-desmethylvenlafaxine (NDV), paroxetine, and risperidone. 6-acetylmorphine was also identified in urine. VEN, paroxetine and risperidone were quantified at supra-therapeutic or toxic blood concentrations. NDV was not quantified. The metabolic ratio of VEN (ODV to VEN) was exceptionally low (about 0.7). Pharmacogenetics testing showed that the patient was heterozygous for the CYP2C19*2 loss-of-function allele, which predict an intermediate metabolism for CYP2C19. None of the deficient CYP2D6 alleles investigated were identified. Those results suggest an extensive CYP2D6-metabolism phenotype. CONCLUSION A discrepancy was seen between the results of the genomic evaluation and the observed metabolic ratio of VEN. This tends to exclude a genetic origin and lead us to formulate other hypotheses, such as phenoconversion that may have been induced by drug interaction involving patients' regular medications. Phenoconversion is as a complex phenomenon that leads to genotype-phenotype mismatch without any genetic abnormality particularly described for cytochromes P450 2D6 and 2C19. Although transient, phenoconversion can have a significant impact on the analysis and interpretation of genotype-focused clinical outcomes correlation and in forensic toxicology conclusions.

Abstract
Kidney disease affects pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of not only renally cleared drugs but also nonrenally cleared drugs. The impact of kidney disease on drug disposition has not been fully elucidated, but describing the extent of such impact is essential for conducting dose optimization in kidney disease. Accurate evaluation of kidney function has been a clinical interest for dose optimization, and more scientists pay attention and conduct research for clarifying the role of drug transporters, metabolic enzymes, and their interplay in drug disposition as kidney disease progresses. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling and simulation can provide valuable insights for dose optimization in kidney disease. It is a powerful tool to integrate discrete knowledge from preclinical and clinical research and mechanistically investigate system- and drug-dependent factors that may contribute to the changes in PK profiles. PBPK-based prediction of drug exposures may be used a priori to adjust dosing regimens and thereby minimize the likelihood of drug-related toxicity. With real-time clinical studies, parameter estimation may be performed with PBPK approaches that can facilitate identification of sources of interindividual variability. PBPK modeling may also facilitate biomarker research that aids dose optimization in kidney disease. U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidances related to conduction of PK studies in kidney impairment and PBPK documentation provide the foundation for facilitating model-based dose-finding research in kidney disease.

Abstract
Drugs can have harmful effects on the embryo or the fetus at any point during pregnancy. Not all the damaging effects of intrauterine exposure to drugs are obvious at birth, some may only manifest later in life. Thus, drugs should be prescribed in pregnancy only if the expected benefit to the mother is thought to be greater than the risk to the fetus. Dosing of drugs during pregnancy is often empirically determined and based upon evidence from studies of non-pregnant subjects, which may lead to suboptimal dosing, particularly during the third trimester. This review collates examples of drugs with known recommendations for dose adjustment during pregnancy, in addition to providing an example of the potential use of PBPK models in dose adjustment recommendation during pregnancy within the context of drug-drug interactions. For many drugs, such as antidepressants and antiretroviral drugs, dose adjustment has been recommended based on pharmacokinetic studies demonstrating a reduction in drug concentrations. However, there is relatively limited (and sometimes inconsistent) information regarding the clinical impact of these pharmacokinetic changes during pregnancy and the effect of subsequent dose adjustments. Examples of using pregnancy PBPK models to predict feto-maternal drug exposures and their applications to facilitate and guide dose assessment throughout gestation are discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
Paroxetine has been demonstrated to undergo gestation-related reductions in plasma concentrations, to an extent which is dictated by the polymorphic state of CYP 2D6. However, knowledge of appropriate dose titrations is lacking.
Methods
A pharmacokinetic modelling approach was applied to examine gestational changes in trough plasma concentrations for CYP 2D6 phenotypes, followed by necessary dose adjustment strategies to maintain paroxetine levels within a therapeutic range of 20–60 ng/ml.
Key findings
A decrease in trough plasma concentrations was simulated throughout gestation for all phenotypes. A significant number of ultrarapid (UM) phenotype subjects possessed trough levels below 20 ng/ml (73–76%) compared to extensive metabolisers (EM) (51–53%).
Conclusions
For all phenotypes studied, there was a requirement for daily doses in excess of the standard 20 mg dose throughout gestation. For EM, a dose of 30 mg daily in trimester 1 followed by 40 mg daily in trimesters 2 and 3 is suggested to be optimal. For poor metabolisers (PM), a 20 mg daily dose in trimester 1 followed by 30 mg daily in trimesters 2 and 3 is suggested to be optimal. For UM, a 40 mg daily dose throughout gestation is suggested to be optimal.

Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of the most common antidepressants on aquatic protozoa. Spirostomum ambiguum was used as the model protozoan. The biological activity of four antidepressants, namely fluoxetine, sertraline, paroxetine, and mianserin, toward S. ambiguum was evaluated. Sertraline was found to be the most toxic drug with EC50 values of 0.2 to 0.7 mg/L. The toxicity of the antidepressants depended on the pH of the medium and was the highest in alkaline conditions. Sertraline was also the most bioaccumulating compound tested, followed by mianserin. Slow depuration was observed after transferring the protozoa from the drug solutions to a fresh medium, which indicated possible lysosomotropism of the tested antidepressants in the protozoa. The biotransformation products were identified using a high-resolution mass spectrometer after two days of incubation of the protozoa with the tested antidepressants. Four to six potential biotransformation products were observed in the aqueous phase, while no metabolites were detected in the protozoan cells. Because of the low abundance of metabolites in the medium, their structure was not determined.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a pandemic with 1771514 cases identified in the world and 70029 cases in Iran until April 12, 2020. The co-prescription of psychotropics with COVID-19 medication is not uncommon. Healthcare providers should be familiar with many Potential Drug-Drug Interactions (DDIs) between COVID-19 therapeutic agents and psychotropic drugs based on cytochrome P450 metabolism. This review comprehensively summarizes the current literature on DDIs between antiretroviral drugs and chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine, and psychotropics, including antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and anxiolytics. METHODS Medical databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched to identify studies in English with keywords related to psychiatric disorders, medications used in the treatment of psychiatric disorders and COVID-19 medications. RESULTS There is a great potential for DDIs between psychiatric and COVID-19 medications ranging from interactions that are not clinically apparent (minor) to those that produce life-threatening adverse drug reactions, or loss of treatment efficacy. The majority of interactions are pharmacokinetic interactions via the cytochrome P450 enzyme system. CONCLUSION DDIs are a major concern in the comorbidity of psychiatric disorders and COVID-19 infection resulting in the alteration of expected therapeutic outcomes. The risk of toxicity or lack of efficacy may occur due to a higher or lower plasma concentration of medications. However, psychiatric medication can be safely used in combination with COVID-19 pharmacotherapy with either a wise selection of medication with the least possibility of interaction or careful patient monitoring and management.

Abstract
Disease, drugs and the placebos used as comparators are inextricably linked in the methodology of the double-blind, randomized controlled trial. Nonetheless, pharmacogenomics, the study of how individuals respond to drugs based on genetic substrate, focuses primarily on the link between genes and drugs, while the link between genes and disease is often overlooked and the link between genes and placebos is largely ignored. Herein, we use the example of the enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase to examine the hypothesis that genes can function as pharmacogenomic hubs across system-wide regulatory processes that, if perturbed in andomized controlled trials, can have primary and combinatorial effects on drug and placebo responses.

Abstract
Wastewater-based epidemiology applies the analysis of human metabolic excretion products of xenobiotics in wastewater to estimate the community-wide use of these compounds. A new bioanalytical method was developed, optimised and validated for the analysis of a broad range of antidepressants and their metabolites at trace concentrations in influent wastewater. The assay was based on solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. For most compounds, Oasis® HLB cartridges were used for sample preparation. Oasis® MCX cartridges were used for extraction of normirtazapine, moclobemide, sertraline, and melitracen in particular. The Kinetex XBC18 column with a gradient elution resulted in appropriate separation for the analytes under investigation. Validation was done according to the European Medicines Agency guidelines on bioanalytical method validation. For 27 compounds, the performance criteria met the requirements for method validation. For these analytes, the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) ranged between 1 and 25 ng/L. Furthermore, all targeted biomarkers showed high in-sample stability during 24 h, with the exception of mianserin. The validated assay was applied to influent wastewater samples collected from four wastewater treatment plants in Belgium. Among these four locations, a total of 18 out of 27 biomarkers for antidepressant use were present in the samples in concentrations above the LLOQ. Additionally, the proposed methodology proved capable of analysing high resolution spatio-temporal trends. Mann-Kendall trend analyses showed that antidepressant use is stable throughout the week, except for trazodone which increased throughout the week.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a common, chronic, and disabling psychiatric condition, has significantly improved in the last decades, with the demonstration of the specific effectiveness of serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs), a large proportion of patients still show high relapse rates. In addition, pharmacological treatments should be maintained for years, so that the clinicians should take into account the pharmacokinetic changes in the long-term, which may be responsible for dangerous side effects or interactions. Areas covered: The aim of this paper was to review the literature on the pharmacokinetics of SSRIs and clomipramine, and on their pharmacokinetic parameters in OCD patients. Expert opinion: Although the literature on the pharmacokinetics of both clomipramine and SSRIs is consistent, data on pharmacokinetic parameters in OCD patients are very few. Given the impact of OCD, its chronicity requiring long-term treatments, together with the need to increase the clinical response rate, more studies in this field are urgently required.

Abstract
Contributions of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) isoforms to drug metabolism are often predicted using relative activity factor (RAF) method, assuming RAF values were independent of probe. We aimed to report probe-dependent characteristic of RAF values using CYP3A4 or CYP2C9 probes. Metabolism of four CYP3A4 probes (testosterone, midazolam, verapamil and atorvastatin) and three CYP2C9 probes (tolbutamide, diclofenac and S-warfarin) in human liver microsomes (HLM) and cDNA-expressed recombinant CYP450 (Rec-CYP450) systems were characterized and RAFCL value was estimated as ratio of probe intrinsic clearance in HLM to that in Rec-CYP450. CYP450i contributions to metabolic reaction of a probe were predicted using other probes and compared with data from specific inhibitions. Contributions of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 to metabolism of deoxypodophyllotoxin and nateglinide were also predicted. RAF values were dependent on probes, leading to probe-dependently predicted contributions. Predicted contributions of CYP3A4 to formations of 6β-hydroxytestosterone, 1'-hydroxymidazolam, norverapamil, ortho-hydroxyatorvastatin and para-hydroxyatorvastatin using other probes were 47.46-219.46%, 21.62-98.87%, 186.49-462.44%, 21.87-101.15% and 53.62-247.97%, respectively. Predicted contributions of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 to nateglinide metabolism were 8.18-37.84% and 36.08-94.04%, separately. In conclusion, CYP450i contribution to drug metabolism in HLM estimated using RAF approach were probe-dependent. Therefore, contribution of each isoform must be confirmed by multiple probes.

Objective The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of escitalopram, paroxetine and venlafaxine in Korean patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Methods A total of 449 Korean MDD patients were recruited in a six-week, randomized, rater-blinded, active-controlled trial and were evenly randomized to paroxetine, venlafaxine, or escitalopram treatment. Results When comparing the mean difference for the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) total scores during six weeks, paroxetine (−6.4±0.4, and −5.4±0.4, respectively) was found to be significantly superior to escitalopram (−3.7±0.5 and −3.1±0.4, respectively). Venlafaxine had a significantly lower MADRS total score (−5.4±0.4) than escitalopram. When adjusting baseline variables, the response, according to the MADRS and HDRS scores, in the paroxetine group was greater than that for the escitalopram group (odds ratio [OR]=2.43, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.42–4.16 for MADRS; and OR=2.32, 95% CI=1.35–3.97 for HDRS) and the venlafaxine group (OR=1.94, 95% CI=1.17–3.21 for MADRS; and OR=1.71, 95% CI=1.03–2.83 for HDRS). Despite that the overall tolerability was high and similar among the three groups, a total of 268 subjects (59.7%) prematurely discontinued treatment, representing the main limitation of the present study. Conclusion Although a low study completion rate limits generalizability, our findings suggest that paroxetine might be superior to escitalopram in Korean MDD patients. Further studies should be conducted to draw a definite conclusion.

Abstract
Due to a lack of reference blood concentrations in the literature, the forensic evaluation of prothipendyl findings in blood samples is difficult. Interpretations with regard to the assessment of blood concentrations as well as an estimation of the ingested prothipendyl amounts were often vague. To describe a concentration range in clinical samples, prothipendyl and prothipendyl sulfoxide concentrations were determined in serum samples of 50 psychiatric patients receiving 40 mg, 80 mg, or 160 mg doses of prothipendyl. The analyses of prothipendyl and prothipendyl sulfoxide were carried out using validated methods of high performance liquid chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-QQQ-MS), respectively. 40 mg doses caused average prothipendyl serum concentrations of 18.0 ng/mL (1 hour after intake) and 7.9 ng/mL (10.5 hours after intake), while 80 mg doses caused averages of 42.6 ng/mL and 15.2 ng/mL at the mentioned times of sampling. Irrespective of the given dose, prothipendyl concentrations below 30 ng/mL were observed in 80% of the patient samples taken 1 hour after ingestion as well as in 90% of the samples collected 10.5 hours after administration. Serum concentrations of the Phase I metabolite prothipendyl sulfoxide averaged 4.3 ng/mL (1 hour after intake) and 3.6 ng/mL (10.5 hours after intake). Possible drug-drug interactions regarding absorption and metabolism of prothipendyl are discussed. Results of the herein presented study are useful for the interpretation of analytical prothipendyl findings in forensic toxicology. The utility of the described concentration range is demonstrated by discussing two death cases involving prothipendyl findings.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease and depression often occur simultaneously in the same patient. Long-term polypharmacotherapy can lead to drug-induced oxidative stress. Data concerning the effects of concomitant treatment with atorvastatin and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are lacking. The aim of the present study was to examine oxidative stress parameters in the blood of rats after 28 days treatment with atorvastatin combined with fluoxetine or paroxetine. The study was carried out on male Wistar rats weighing 200-250 g. Aqueous solutions of atorvastatin (10 mg/kg), fluoxetine (10 mg/kg) and paroxetine (10 mg/kg) were injected once a day for 28 days, separately or concomitantly. The activity of glutathione peroxidase (GPX) was determined in the whole blood, whereas the activity of glutathione reductase (GR) and the total antioxidant status (TAS) were determined in the serum. The results demonstrated that concomitant administration of atorvastatin with fluoxetine caused an increase in the GPX activity and the TAS. Atorvastatin administered to rats with paroxetine increased the activities of GPX and GR. In the groups of rats receiving atorvastatin or SSRIs separately, no statistically significant changes in the investigated parameters were observed. The changes that were detected may indicate an increase in endogenous antioxidant levels during the concomitant application of atorvastatin with SSRIs and thus a drug-drug interaction having an effect on the blood redox equilibrium.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although the reduced function of the cytochrome P450 2D6*10 (CYP2D6*10) allele is common among Asian populations, existing evidence does not support paroxetine therapy adjustments for patients who have the CYP2D6*10 allele. In this study, we attempted to evaluate the degree of the impact of different CYP2D6 genotypes on the pharmacokinetic (PK) variability of paroxetine in a Japanese population using a population PK approach. METHODS This retrospective study included 179 Japanese patients with major depressive disorder who were being treated with paroxetine. CYP2D6*1, *2, *5, *10, and *41 polymorphisms were observed. A total of 306 steady-state concentrations for paroxetine were collected from the patients. A nonlinear mixed-effects model identified the apparent Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) and the maximum velocity (Vmax) of paroxetine; the covariates included CYP2D6 genotypes, patient age, body weight, sex, and daily paroxetine dose. RESULTS The allele frequencies of CYP2D6*1, *2, *5, *10, and *41 were 39.4, 14.5, 4.5, 41.1, and 0.6%, respectively. There was no poor metabolizer who had two nonfunctional CYP2D6*5 alleles. A one-compartment model showed that the apparent Km value was decreased by 20.6% in patients with the CYP2D6*10/*10 genotype in comparison with the other CYP2D6 genotypes. Female sex also influenced the apparent Km values. No PK parameters were affected by the presence of one CYP2D6*5 allele. CONCLUSION Unexpectedly, elimination was accelerated in individuals with the CYP2D6*10/*10 genotype. Our results show that the presence of one CYP2D6*5 allele or that of any CYP2D6*10 allele may have no major effect on paroxetine PKs in the steady state.

Abstract
Adverse drug reactions and interactions are among the major causes of death in the United States. Antidepressants have been reported as causing suicide and homicide and share the class attribute of frequently producing akathisia, a state of severe restlessness associated with thoughts of death and violence. Medical examiners can now identify some pharmacogenetic interactions that cause drugs, deemed safe for most, to be lethal to others. Such deaths do not yet include medication-induced, akathisia-related suicides and homicides. An extrapyramidal side effect, akathisia is a manifestation of drug toxicity whose causes lie, inter alia, in drugs, doses, and co-prescribed medications that inhibit and compete for metabolizing enzymes, which may themselves be defective. In this paper, we report our investigation into adverse drug reactions/interactions in three persons who committed homicide, two also intending suicide, while on antidepressants prescribed for stressful life events. Their histories of medication use, adverse reactions and reasons for changes in medications are presented. DNA samples were screened for variants in the cytochrome P450 gene family; that produce drug metabolizing enzymes. All three cases exhibit genotype-based diminished metabolic capability that, in combination with their enzyme inhibiting/competing medications, decreased metabolism further and are the likely cause of these catastrophic events.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this article is to review the field of clinically relevant pharmacogenetic effects of cytochrome P450 polymorphisms on metabolism, kinetics, and action of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). AREAS COVERED The relevant literature in humans on the implications of genetic variation on SSRI drug exposure, drug safety, and efficacy was systematically evaluated. There is a large amount of evidence on the influences of CYP polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetics of SSRIs. Regulatory agencies have issued warnings or advice considering dose adjustments in the presence of affected metabolic phenotypes for several SSRIs. Evidence-based dose adjustments for drugs dependent on CYP genotype are available to clinicians. However, few data on the relationship between genetically determined elevated plasma concentrations of SSRIs and specific side effects or therapeutic failure are currently available. EXPERT OPINION Genetic polymorphisms in CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 exert large influences on the individual exposure to SSRIs, leading to the aim to achieve similar concentration time courses in different metabolizer phenotypes. The implementation of a stratified approach to medication with SSRIs in different metabolic phenotypes on a rational basis will require new studies assessing the association between clinical outcomes (such as adverse reactions) and genetically determined elevated plasma concentrations.

Abstract
The relative contribution of hepatic compared with intestinal oxidative metabolism is a crucial factor in drug oral bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. Oxidative metabolism is mediated by the cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenase system to which cytochrome P450 reductase (POR) is the essential electron donor. In order to study the relative importance of these pathways in drug disposition, we have generated a novel mouse line where Cre recombinase is driven off the endogenous Cyp1a1 gene promoter; this line was then crossed on to a floxed POR mouse. A 40 mg/kg dose of the Cyp1a1 inducer 3-methylcholanthrene (3MC) eliminated POR expression in both liver and small intestine, whereas treatment at 4 mg/kg led to a more targeted deletion in the liver. Using this approach, we have studied the pharmacokinetics of three probe drugs--paroxetine, midazolam, nelfinavir--and show that intestinal metabolism is a determinant of oral bioavailability for the two latter compounds. The Endogenous Reductase Locus (ERL) mouse represents a significant advance on previous POR deletion models as it allows direct comparison of hepatic and intestinal effects on drug and xenobiotic clearance using lower doses of a single Cre inducing agent, and in addition minimizes any cytotoxic effects, which may compromise interpretation of the experimental data.

Abstract
It has been suggested that the reduced function allele with reduced cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 activity, CYP2D6*10, is associated with the interindividual differences in the plasma paroxetine concentrations, but there is no data presently available regarding the influence of the CYP2D6*10 polymorphism on the pharmacokinetic parameters, eg, Michaelis–Menten constant (Km) and maximum velocity (Vmax), in Asian populations. The present study investigated the effects of the CYP2D6 polymorphisms, including CYP2D6*10, on the pharmacokinetic parameters of paroxetine in Japanese patients with major depressive disorders. This retrospective study included 15 Japanese patients with major depressive disorders (four males and eleven females) who were treated with paroxetine. The CYP2D6*2, CYP2D6*4, CYP2D6*5, CYP2D6*10, CYP2D6*18, CYP2D6*39, and CYP2D6*41 polymorphisms were evaluated. A total of 56 blood samples were collected from the patients. The Km and Vmax values of paroxetine were estimated for each patient. The allele frequencies of CYP2D6*2, CYP2D6*4, CYP2D6*5, CYP2D6*10, CYP2D6*18, CYP2D6*39, and CYP2D6*41 were 6.7%, 0%, 10.0%, 56.7%, 0%, 26.7%, and 0%, respectively. The mean values of Km and Vmax were 50.5±68.4 ng/mL and 50.6±18.8 mg/day, respectively. Both the Km and Vmax values were significantly smaller in CYP2D6*10 allele carriers than in the noncarriers (24.2±18.3 ng/mL versus 122.5±106.3 ng/mL, P=0.008; 44.2±16.1 mg/day versus 68.3±15.0 mg/day, P=0.022, respectively). This is the first study to demonstrate that the CYP2D6*10 polymorphism could affect the nonlinear pharmacokinetic parameter estimates of paroxetine in Asian populations. The findings of this study suggest that the CYP2D6*10 polymorphism may be associated with the smaller values of both the Km and Vmax in Japanese patients with major depressive disorders, and these results need to be confirmed in further investigations with a larger number of patients.

Abstract
It is well-known that profound physiological and biochemical changes occur throughout the course of pregnancy. At the same time, the role of pharmacogenomics in modulating the metabolism and response profile to numerous medications has been elucidated. Yet, the clinical impact of pharmacogenomics during pregnancy is less well understood. We present an overview of factors modulating the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of medications throughout the time span of pregnancy while providing insights on how pharmacogenomics may contribute to interindividual variability in drug metabolism and response amongst pregnant women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pharmacotherapy for mood disorders during pregnancy is often complicated by pregnancy-related pharmacokinetic changes and the need for dose adjustments. The objectives of this review are to summarize the evidence for change in perinatal pharmacokinetics of commonly used pharmacotherapies for mood disorders, discuss the implications for clinical and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), and make clinical recommendations. METHODS The English-language literature indexed on MEDLINE/PubMed was searched for original observational studies (controlled and uncontrolled, prospective and retrospective), case reports, and case series that evaluated or described pharmacokinetic changes or TDM during pregnancy or the postpartum period. RESULTS Pregnancy-associated changes in absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination may result in lowered psychotropic drug levels and possible treatment effects, particularly in late pregnancy. Mechanisms include changes in both phase 1 hepatic cytochrome P450 and phase 2 uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase enzyme activities, changes in hepatic and renal blood flow, and glomerular filtration rate. Therapeutic drug monitoring, in combination with clinical monitoring, is indicated for tricyclic antidepressants and mood stabilizers during the perinatal period. CONCLUSIONS Substantial pharmacokinetic changes can occur during pregnancy in a number of commonly used antidepressants and mood stabilizers. Dose increases may be indicated for antidepressants including citalopram, clomipramine, imipramine, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, nortriptyline, paroxetine, and sertraline, especially late in pregnancy. Antenatal dose increases may also be needed for lithium, lamotrigine, and valproic acid because of perinatal changes in metabolism. Close clinical monitoring of perinatal mood disorders and TDM of tricyclic antidepressants and mood stabilizers are recommended.

Abstract
In the USA, over 30 million women are In or near menopause. Menopause Is associated with a cluster of Issues. Vasomotor symptoms (VMS) are the number one complaint of most menopausal women. VMS are disruptive to women during the day and at night, which leads to poor sleep, anxiety, depression and poor concentration. Up until now, the only US FDA-approved medication for moderate-to-severe VMS was hormone therapy. Hormone therapy may not be appropriate for all women. Many drugs are used off-label to treat VMS. The most often used agents are agents that are FDA-approved medications, such as selective serotonin reuptake Inhibitors and serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake Inhibitors. The pharmaceutical company, Noven Pharmaceuticals (FL, USA), has studied paroxetine mesylate 7.5 mg, previously known as low-dose mesylate salt of paroxetine, specifically to treat moderate-to-severe VMS In postmenopausal women. Paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake Inhibitor, and Is thought to help decrease VMS by regulating body temperature via neurotransmitters. Paroxetine Is approved to treat various psychiatric disorders, but Is used at much higher doses (20–60 mg/day).

Abstract
The development of in vitro-in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE), a 'bottom-up' approach, to predict pharmacokinetic parameters and drug-drug interactions (DDIs) has accelerated mainly due to an increase in the understanding of the multiple mechanisms involved in these interactions and the availability of appropriate in vitro systems that act as surrogates for delineating various elements of the interactions relevant to absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination. Recent advances in the knowledge of the population variables required for IVIVE (demographic, anatomical, genetic and physiological parameters) have also contributed to the appreciation of the sources of variability and wider use of this approach for different scenarios within the pharmaceutical industry. Initially, the authors present an overview of the integration of IVIVE into 'static' and 'dynamic' models for the quantitative prediction of DDIs. The main purpose of this review is to discuss the application of IVIVE in conjunction with physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling under a systems biology approach to characterize the potential DDIs in individual patients, including those who cannot be investigated in formal clinical trials for ethical reasons. In addition, we address the issues related to the prediction of complex DDIs involving the inhibition of cytochrome P- and transporter-mediated activities through multiple drugs.

Pharmacokinetic properties of once-daily oral low-dose mesylate salt of paroxetine (LDMP 7.5 mg) following single and multiple doses in healthy postmenopausal women. Clin Ther 2013; 35:862-9. [PMID: 23795577 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinthera.2013.05.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2013] [Revised: 04/19/2013] [Accepted: 05/02/2013] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Low-dose mesylate salt of paroxetine (LDMP 7.5 mg) is being investigated for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause. OBJECTIVE This Phase I, open-label, single- and multiple-dose study evaluated the pharmacokinetic properties, safety and tolerability of LDMP in postmenopausal, nonsmoking women aged ≥40 years. METHODS After a 3-week screening period, subjects received LDMP 7.5-mg capsules as a single dose on day 1 and then as multiple doses (once daily for 14 days) on Days 6-19. Blood samples were collected predose and up to 120 hours postdose on day 1 (single-dose pharmacokinetic profile), at predose (after 12 doses) on day 18, and at predose and up to 24 hours postdose on day 19 (multiple-dose pharmacokinetic profile). Capsules were taken with 240 mL of water while subjects were fasted. Safety was evaluated throughout the study. RESULTS Twenty-four women (mean age, 56 years) completed the study. On day 1, median Tmax was ~6 hours, and mean t1/2 was 17.30 hours. Mean plasma concentrations attained predose on days 18 and 19 (days 13 and 14 of multiple dosing) and at 24 hours postdose (day 20) were similar, suggesting that steady state was achieved by day 13 of multiple dosing after 12 daily doses. Mean AUC0-24 h at steady state (day 14 of multiple dosing) was ~3-fold greater than AUC0-∞ on day 1, indicating nonlinear pharmacokinetics. Mean Cmax on day 14 of multiple dosing was ~5-fold greater than that attained on day 1, and the accumulation index (AUCday 19/AUCday 1) at steady state was 9.71. Fluctuation index (calculated as [(Cmax - Cmin)/Cavg ss] × 100) was 75.8%. Most subjects (23/24 [95.8%]) experienced at least 1 treatment-emergent adverse event (AE); however, most AEs (67 events in 22/24 subjects [91.7%]) were mild, and the remainder were moderate. Seventeen subjects experienced 33 AEs that were deemed possibly or probably related to LDMP. No serious AEs were reported, and no clinically meaningful changes in laboratory values, vital signs, or ECGs were observed. CONCLUSIONS On multiple dosing, LDMP exhibited nonlinear pharmacokinetics and was well tolerated in these healthy postmenopausal women; the extent of accumulation was consistent with data from the published literature.

Abstract
Conducting pharmacokinetic (PK) studies in pregnant women is challenging. Therefore, we asked if a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model could be used to evaluate different dosing regimens for pregnant women. We refined and verified our previously published pregnancy PBPK model by incorporating cytochrome P450 CYP1A2 suppression (based on caffeine PK) and CYP2D6 induction (based on metoprolol PK) into the model. This model accounts for gestational age-dependent changes in maternal physiology and hepatic CYP3A activity. For verification, the disposition of CYP1A2-metabolized drug theophylline (THEO) and CYP2D6-metabolized drugs paroxetine (PAR), dextromethorphan (DEX), and clonidine (CLO) during pregnancy was predicted. Our PBPK model successfully predicted THEO disposition during the third trimester (T3). Predicted mean postpartum to third trimester (PP:T3) ratios of THEO area under the curve (AUC), maximum plasma concentration, and minimum plasma concentration were 0.76, 0.95, and 0.66 versus observed values 0.75, 0.89, and 0.72, respectively. The predicted mean PAR steady-state plasma concentration (Css) ratio (PP:T3) was 7.1 versus the observed value 3.7. Predicted mean DEX urinary ratio (UR) (PP:T3) was 2.9 versus the observed value 1.9. Predicted mean CLO AUC ratio (PP:T3) was 2.2 versus the observed value 1.7. Sensitivity analysis suggested that a 100% induction of CYP2D6 during T3 was required to recover the observed PP:T3 ratios of PAR Css, DEX UR, and CLO AUC. Based on these data, it is prudent to conclude that the magnitude of hepatic CYP2D6 induction during T3 ranges from 100 to 200%. Our PBPK model can predict the disposition of CYP1A2, 2D6, and 3A drugs during pregnancy.

Abstract
Paroxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, is metabolized in the liver and excreted into bile and urine as metabolites, but species differences have been observed in hepatic disposition between rats and humans. A major metabolite in rats is M1-glucuronide, whereas M1-glucuronide and M1-sulfate are found in humans. The primary excretion route of paroxetine-derived radioactivity in rats and humans is bile and urine, respectively. The aim of this study was to examine the usefulness of sandwich-cultured hepatocytes (SCH) to evaluate in vivo species differences of the hepatic disposition of paroxetine between rats and humans. The metabolite profile of [(3)H]paroxetine in SCH was similar to that in hepatocytes in suspension, and the in vitro metabolite profiles were similar to the published in vivo metabolic pathways for both species. Furthermore, the biliary excretion index (BEI) of formed M1-glucuronide in rat SCH (25.8-50.9%) was higher than that in human SCH (15.1-16.7%). The BEI of formed M1-sulfate (16.4-29.1%) was comparable to that of M1-glucuronide in human SCH, whereas the BEIs of paroxetine were negligible in SCH of both species. Moreover, M1-glucuronide was demonstrated to be a multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 substrate in both species, as determined by its uptake into ATP-binding cassette transporter-expressing membrane vesicles. SCH should prove to be useful to evaluate the processes of hepatic uptake and metabolism of parent drugs and the simultaneous examination of the biliary excretion of both parent drug and liver-derived metabolites.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance P-glycoprotein (P-gp; also known as MDR1 and ABCB1) is expressed in the luminal membrane of the small intestine and blood-brain barrier, and the apical membranes of excretory cells such as hepatocytes and kidney proximal tubule epithelia. P-gp regulates the absorption and elimination of a wide range of compounds, such as digoxin, paclitaxel, HIV protease inhibitors and psychotropic drugs. Its substrate specificity is as broad as that of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4, which encompasses up to 50 % of the currently marketed drugs. There has been considerable interest in variations in the ABCB1 gene as predictors of the pharmacokinetics and/or treatment outcomes of several drug classes, including antidepressants and antipsychotics. Moreover, P-gp-mediated transport activity is saturable, and is subject to modulation by inhibition and induction, which can affect the pharmacokinetics, efficacy or safety of P-gp substrates. In addition, many of the P-gp substrates overlap with CYP3A4 substrates, and several psychotropic drugs that are P-gp substrates are also CYP3A4 substrates. Therefore, psychotropic drugs that are P-gp substrates may cause a drug interaction when P-gp inhibitors and inducers are coadministered, or when psychotropic drugs or other medicines that are P-gp substrates are added to a prescription. Hence, it is clinically important to accumulate data about drug interactions through studies on P-gp, in addition to CYP3A4, to assist in the selection of appropriate psychotropic medications and in avoiding inappropriate combinations of therapeutic agents. There is currently insufficient information available on the psychotropic drug interactions related to P-gp, and therefore we summarize the recent clinical data in this review.

Abstract
Positive allosteric modulators ('potentiators') of the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR) have been shown to display a mechanism-based exposure-response continuum in preclinical species with procognitive electrophysiological and behavioral effects ('efficacy') at low exposures and motor coordination disruptions at progressively higher exposures. Due to the dose-capping nature of such motor coordination deficits, an exposure threshold-mediated adverse event (C(AE) ), the adequacy of separation between the maximal total plasma compound concentration (C(max) ) at a predicted clinically efficacious oral dose and this adverse event (AE) was explored in early drug research with three AMPAR potentiators considered potential candidates for clinical trials. In vitro metabolism studies in human liver microsomes and human hepatocytes demonstrated the metabolic clearance for each compound was predominately due to cytochromes P450 (CYP). Thus, for each compound's anticipated clinically efficacious dose, human C(max) variability following oral administration was assessed using Simcyp software, which combines its virtual human populations database using extensive demographic, physiological and genomic information with routinely collected compound-specific in vitro biochemical data to simulate and predict drug disposition. Using a combination of experimentally determined recombinant human CYP intrinsic clearances for CYP1A2, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4, human binding factors, expected fraction absorbed and estimated steady-state volume of distribution, Simcyp simulations demonstrated that two of the three potentiators had acceptable projected C(max) variability (i.e. the 95th percentile C(max) did not breach C(AE) ). This evaluation aided in the selection of compounds for preclinical progression, and represents a novel application of pharmacologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) software approaches to predict interpatient variability.

Abstract
The application of physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling is coming of age in drug development and regulation, reflecting significant advances over the past 10 years in the predictability of key pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters from human in vitro data and in the availability of dedicated software platforms and associated databases. Specific advances and contemporary challenges with respect to predicting the processes of drug clearance, distribution, and absorption are reviewed, together with the ability to anticipate the quantitative extent of PK-based drug-drug interactions and the impact of age, genetics, disease, and formulation. The value of this capability in selecting and designing appropriate clinical studies, its implications for resource-sparing techniques, and a more holistic view of the application of PK across the preclinical/clinical divide are considered. Finally, some attention is given to the positioning of PBPK within the drug development and approval paradigm and its future application in truly personalized medicine.

Abstract
AIM Paroxetine is a drug of choice in the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). Its metabolism has recently been reported to be mediated through the CYP enzymes 1A2 and 2D6. In our current study, we tested whether genetic polymorphisms in CYP1A2 are associated with the treatment efficacy and side effects of paroxetine. MATERIALS & METHODS A total of 241 MDD patients who had taken paroxetine continually for 8 weeks were recruited, and their steady state paroxetine concentrations were measured at weeks 2, 4 and 8. The genotypes of these patients were then assessed for the presence of nine SNPs, which were selected from either the HapMap Chinese ethnic group, the literature report or through their functional role in the CYP1A2 gene. RESULTS The allele types for SNPs rs4646425 (permutation p = 0.03), rs2472304 (permutation p = 0.01) and rs2470890 (permutation p = 0.004) demonstrated significant associations with paroxetine treatment remission at week 8. Response rates in the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D) and for The Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAM-A) were significantly associated with the SNPs rs4646425 (p = 0.0126 and 0.0088 for HAM-D and HAM-A, respectively) and rs4646427 (p = 0.0067 and 0.0196 for HAM-D and HAM-A, respectively). The inducible SNP rs762551 had a significant association with paroxetine dose at week 4 (permutation p = 0.012). We did not find an association between these SNPs and the side effects or serum concentrations of paroxetine. CONCLUSION Genetic variants in the CYP1A2 region may be indicators of treatment response in MDD patients to paroxetine.
