Di Paolo V, Ferrari FM, Veronese D, Poggesi I, Quintieri L. A genetic algorithm-based approach for the prediction of metabolic drug-drug interactions involving CYP2C8 or CYP2B6. J Pharmacol Toxicol Methods 2024; 127:107516. [PMID: 38777239 DOI: 10.1016/j.vascn.2024.107516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2024] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES A genetic algorithm (GA) approach was developed to predict drug-drug interactions (DDIs) caused by cytochrome P450 2C8 (CYP2C8) inhibition or cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) inhibition or induction. Nighty-eight DDIs, obtained from published in vivo studies in healthy volunteers, have been considered using the area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve (AUC) ratios (i.e., ratios of AUC of the drug substrate administered in combination with a DDI perpetrator to AUC of the drug substrate administered alone) to describe the extent of DDI. METHODS The following parameters were estimated in this approach: the contribution ratios (CRCYP2B6 and CRCYP2C8, i.e., the fraction of the dose metabolized via CYP2B6 or CYP2C8, respectively) and the inhibitory or inducing potency of the perpetrator drug (IRCYP2B6, IRCYP2C8 and ICCYP2B6, for inhibition of CYP2B6 and CYP2C8, and induction of CYP2B6, respectively). The workflow consisted of three main phases. First, the initial estimates of the parameters were estimated through GA. Then, the model was validated using an external validation. Finally, the parameter values were refined via a Bayesian orthogonal regression using all data. RESULTS The AUC ratios of 5 substrates, 11 inhibitors and 19 inducers of CYP2B6, and the AUC ratios of 19 substrates and 23 inhibitors of CYP2C8 were successfully predicted by the developed methodology within 50-200% of observed values. CONCLUSIONS The approach proposed in this work may represent a useful tool for evaluating the suitable doses of a CYP2C8 or CYP2B6 substrates co-administered with perpetrators.

Abstract
When sarcoidosis needs treatment, pharmacotherapy is usually required. Although glucocorticoids work reliably and relatively quickly for sarcoidosis, these drugs are associated with numerous significant side effects. Such side effects are common in sarcoidosis patients, as the disease frequently has a chronic course and glucocorticoid treatment courses are often prolonged. For these reasons, corticosteroid-sparing and corticosteroid-replacing therapies are often required for sarcoidosis. Unfortunately, many healthcare providers who care for sarcoidosis patients are not familiar with the use of these agents. In this manuscript, we provide a review of the pharmacotherapy of sarcoidosis. We discuss the mechanism of action, dosing, side-effect profile, approach to monitoring and patient counselling concerning glucocorticoids, and the common alternative drugs recommended for use in the recent European Respiratory Society (Lausanne, Switzerland) Sarcoidosis Treatment Guidelines. We also discuss the use of these agents in special situations including hepatic insufficiency, renal insufficiency, pregnancy, breastfeeding, vaccination, and drug-drug interactions. It is hoped that this manuscript will provide valuable practical guidance to clinicians who care for sarcoidosis patients.

Iga K, Kiriyama A. Interplay of UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase and CYP2C8 for CYP2C8 Mediated Drug Oxidation and Its Impact on Drug-Drug Interaction Produced by Standardized CYP2C8 Inhibitors, Clopidogrel and Gemfibrozil. Clin Pharmacokinet 2024; 63:43-56.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Early investigations into drug-drug interactions (DDIs) involving cytochrome P450 2C8 (CYP2C8) have highlighted the complexity of interactions between CYP2C8 substrate drugs, including montelukast, desloratadine, pioglitazone, repaglinide, and cerivastatin (the latter two being OATP1B1 substrates), and standardized CYP2C8 inhibitors such as clopidogrel (Clop) and gemfibrozil (Gem). These interactions have proven challenging to predict based solely on simple CYP inhibition. A hypothesis has emerged suggesting that these substrate drugs first distribute to UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) before undergoing oxidation by CYP2C8, resulting in bidirectional elimination. The process of drug distribution to UGT is believed to significantly impact these DDIs. This study aims to explore the intricate interplay between UGT and CYP2C8 in the context of DDIs involving CYP2C8 substrates affected by Clop and Gem. METHODS Plasma-level data for the unchanged drug and its metabolite, drawn from the respective literature, formed the basis of our analysis. We evaluated the enzymatic inhibitory activities of DDIs and utilized simulations to estimate plasma levels of the unchanged victim drug and its metabolite in each DDI. This was accomplished by employing a functional relationship that considered the fractional contributions of CYP2C8 and UGT to clearance, perpetrator-specific inhibitory activities against CYP2C8, and drug distribution to UGT. RESULTS Our findings emphasize the pivotal role of UGT-mediated distribution in the context of CYP2C8 substrate metabolism, particularly in the complex DDIs induced by Clop and Gem. In these DDIs, Gem exerts inhibitory effects on both UGT and CYP2C8, whereas Clop (specifically its metabolite, Clop-COOH) solely targets CYP2C8. Importantly, the inhibition of CYP2C8 by both Clop and Gem is achieved through a non-competitive mechanism, driven by the actions of their acyl-glucuronides. Clop and Gem exhibit inhibition activities accounting for 85% (pAi,CYP2C8 = 7) and 93% (pAi,CYP2C8 = 15), respectively. In contrast, Gem's inhibition of UGT is relatively modest (50%, pAi,UGT(d) = 2), and it operates through a non-specific, competitive process in drug distribution to UGT. Within this context, our UGT-CYP2C8 interplay model offers an accurate means of predicting the alterations resulting from DDIs, encompassing changes in plasma levels of the unchanged drug and its metabolites, as well as shifts in metabolite formation rates. Our analysis highlights the critical importance of considering the fractional contributions of CYP2C8 and UGT to the victim drug's clearance (fm,CYP2C8; fm,UGT) in DDI prediction. Furthermore, our examination of DDIs involving OATP1B1 substrate drugs underscores that accounting for the hepatic uptake transporters' role in the liver is superfluous in DDI prediction. CONCLUSION These findings substantially enhance our comprehension of CYP2C8-mediated oxidation and DDIs, holding crucial implications for drug development and the planning of clinical trials involving these inhibitors.

Inhibition of CYP2C8 by Acyl Glucuronides of Gemfibrozil and Clopidogrel: Pharmacological Significance, Progress and Challenges. Biomolecules 2022; 12:biom12091218. [PMID: 36139056 PMCID: PMC9496539 DOI: 10.3390/biom12091218] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2022] [Revised: 08/27/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
The lipid-regulating drug gemfibrozil is a useful medication for reducing high cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. In addition to oxidation, it undergoes extensive glucuronidation to produce gemfibrozil acyl glucuronide, which is a known mechanism-based inactivator of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8. Such selective and time-dependent inhibition results in clinically important drug–drug interactions (DDI) with the drugs metabolized by CYP2C8. Similarly, the acyl glucuronide of clopidogrel, a widely used antiplatelet agent, is a potent time-dependent inhibitor of CYP2C8 that demonstrated significant DDI with the substrates of CYP2C8. Current progress in atomic-level understanding mostly involves studying how different drugs bind and undergo oxidation in the active site of CYPs. It is not clear how an acyl glucuronide metabolite of the drug gemfibrozil or clopidogrel interacts in the active site of CYP2C8 and selectively inhibit the enzyme. This mini-review summarizes the current knowledge on some of the important clinical DDI caused by gemfibrozil and clopidogrel due to the inhibition of CYP2C8 by acyl glucuronide metabolites of these drugs. Importantly, it examines recent developments and potential applications of structural biology tools to elucidate the binding and orientation of gemfibrozil acyl glucuronide and clopidogrel acyl glucuronide in the active site near heme that contributes to the inhibition and inactivation of CYP2C8.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and revascularization through percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) significantly improves survival. In this setting, poor glycaemic control, regardless of diabetes, has been associated with increased incidence of peri-procedural and long-term complications and worse prognosis. Novel antidiabetic agents have represented a paradigm shift in managing patients with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. However, limited data are reported so far in patients undergoing coronary stenting. This review intends to provide an overview of the biological mechanisms underlying hyperglycaemia-induced vascular damage and the contrasting actions of new antidiabetic drugs. We summarize existing evidence on the effects of these drugs in the setting of PCI, addressing pre-clinical and clinical studies and drug-drug interactions with antiplatelet agents, thus highlighting new opportunities for optimal long-term management of these patients.

Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Modeling of Clopidogrel and Its Four Relevant Metabolites for CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4 Drug–Drug–Gene Interaction Predictions. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14050915. [PMID: 35631502 PMCID: PMC9145019 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14050915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2022] [Revised: 04/19/2022] [Accepted: 04/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
The antiplatelet agent clopidogrel is listed by the FDA as a strong clinical index inhibitor of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8 and weak clinical inhibitor of CYP2B6. Moreover, clopidogrel is a substrate of—among others—CYP2C19 and CYP3A4. This work presents the development of a whole-body physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of clopidogrel including the relevant metabolites, clopidogrel carboxylic acid, clopidogrel acyl glucuronide, 2-oxo-clopidogrel, and the active thiol metabolite, with subsequent application for drug–gene interaction (DGI) and drug–drug interaction (DDI) predictions. Model building was performed in PK-Sim® using 66 plasma concentration-time profiles of clopidogrel and its metabolites. The comprehensive parent-metabolite model covers biotransformation via carboxylesterase (CES) 1, CES2, CYP2C19, CYP3A4, and uridine 5′-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase 2B7. Moreover, CYP2C19 was incorporated for normal, intermediate, and poor metabolizer phenotypes. Good predictive performance of the model was demonstrated for the DGI involving CYP2C19, with 17/19 predicted DGI AUClast and 19/19 predicted DGI Cmax ratios within 2-fold of their observed values. Furthermore, DDIs involving bupropion, omeprazole, montelukast, pioglitazone, repaglinide, and rifampicin showed 13/13 predicted DDI AUClast and 13/13 predicted DDI Cmax ratios within 2-fold of their observed ratios. After publication, the model will be made publicly accessible in the Open Systems Pharmacology repository.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ohno and Colleagues proposed an approach for predicting drug-drug interactions (DDIs) mediated by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 based on the use of the ratio of the inhibited to non-inhibited area under the plasma concentration time curve (AUC) of substrates to estimate the fraction of the dose metabolized via CYP3A4 (contribution ratio, CR) and the in vivo inhibitory potency of a perpetrator (inhibition ratio, IR). This study evaluated the performance of this approach on DDIs mediated by CYP2C8 inhibitors. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Initial estimates of CR and IR of CYP2C8 substrates and inhibitors were calculated for 33 DDI in vivo studies. The approach was externally validated with 17 additional studies. Bayesian orthogonal regression was used to refine the estimates of the parameters. Assessment of prediction success was conducted by plotting observed versus predicted AUC ratios. RESULTS Final estimates of CRs and IRs were obtained for 19 CYP2C8 substrates and 23 inhibitors, respectively. The method demonstrated good predictive capacity, with only two values outside of the prespecified limits. CONCLUSIONS The approach may help to adapt dose regimens for CYP2C8 substrates when given in combination with CYP2C8 inhibitors and to map the potential DDIs of new molecular entities.

Abstract
Multimorbidity, polypharmacotherapy and drug interactions are increasingly common in the ageing population. Many drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are caused by perpetrator drugs inhibiting or inducing cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, resulting in alterations of the plasma concentrations of a victim drug. DDIs can have a major negative health impact, and in the past, unrecognized DDIs have resulted in drug withdrawals from the market. Signals to investigate DDIs may emerge from a variety of sources. Nowadays, standard methods are widely available to identify and characterize the mechanisms of CYP-mediated DDIs in vitro. Clinical pharmacokinetic studies, in turn, provide experimental data on pharmacokinetic outcomes of DDIs. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling utilizing both in vitro and in vivo data is a powerful tool to predict different DDI scenarios. Finally, epidemiological studies can provide estimates on the health outcomes of DDIs. Thus, to fully characterize the mechanisms, clinical effects and implications of CYP-mediated DDIs, translational research approaches are required. This minireview provides an overview of translational approaches to study CYP-mediated DDIs, going beyond regulatory DDI guidelines, and an illustrative case study of how the DDI potential of clopidogrel was unveiled by combining these different methods.

Abstract
In type 2 diabetes, anti-thrombotic management is challenging, and current anti-platelet agents have demonstrated reduced efficacy. Old and new anti-diabetic drugs exhibited—besides lowering blood glucose levels—direct and indirect effects on platelet function and on thrombotic milieu, eventually conditioning cardiovascular outcomes. The present review summarizes existing evidence on the effects of glucose-lowering agents on platelet properties, addressing pre-clinical and clinical research, as well as drug–drug interactions with anti-platelet agents. We aimed at expanding clinicians’ understanding by highlighting new opportunities for an optimal management of patients with diabetes and cardiovascular disease. We suggest how an improvement of the thrombotic risk in this large population of patients may be achieved by a careful and tailored combination of anti-diabetic and anti-platelet therapies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the influence of caffeine on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of pioglitazone (PIO) in diabetic rats. METHODS This was a preclinical study conducted in the College of Pharmacy, Najran University, Saudi Arabia, using 5 groups of Wistar rats: normal rats, untreated diabetic rats, diabetic rats + caffeine (20 mg/kg), diabetic rats + PIO (10 mg/kg), and diabetic rats + PIO (10 mg/kg) + caffeine (20 mg/kg). The drugs were administered for 14 days, and fasting plasma glucose concentrations were determined on the first day, and thereafter at weekly intervals. On day 14, rat sacrifice was followed with assay of levels of biomarkers. To estimate the pharmacokinetic parameters, the diabetic animals were assigned to 2 groups: one group received PIO (10 mg/kg), while the other received PIO + caffeine (20 mg/kg). Blood samples were drawn from the retro-orbital plexus at different time intervals, and pharmacokinetic parameters were measured using high performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS Caffeine caused statistically marked increases in area under the curve, Cmax, Tmax, and half-life of PIO, and decreased clearance. Combination of PIO and caffeine produced a synergistic effect on percentage reduction in blood glucose, with 67.1% reductions observed on day 7 and 68.9% reductions observed on day 14. Liver and cardiac biomarkers were significantly decreased, suggesting cardioprotective and hepatoprotective effects. CONCLUSION Co-administration of PIO with caffeine enhances its antidiabetic effect, probably due to enhanced bioavailability of PIO, leading to clinical benefits in diabetic patients.

Abstract
AIMS The strong cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8 inhibitor gemfibrozil has been demonstrated to increase the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity (AUC0-∞ ) of ACT-333679, an active metabolite of selexipag, by 11-fold. Similarly to gemfibrozil, the CYP2C8 inhibitor clopidogrel increased ACT-333679 concentration by 1.9-fold after a single loading dose (300 mg once daily) and 2.7-fold after repeated treatment with the maintenance dose (75 mg once daily) in Europeans. However, the effects of clopidogrel on the pharmacokinetics of selexipag and ACT-333679 have not been fully elucidated in the Japanese population. METHODS We investigated the effect of clopidogrel on the pharmacokinetics of selexipag and ACT-333679 in 14 healthy Japanese volunteers. RESULTS The concomitant administration of clopidogrel with selexipag did not influence the maximum concentration and AUC0-∞ of selexipag, whereas it significantly increased AUC0-∞ of ACT-333679 by approximately 1.90-fold (90% confidence interval 1.69-2.14) without changing the maximum concentration. When selexipag was administered 1 day after clopidogrel was discontinued, the increase in AUC0-∞ of ACT-333679 was 1.37-fold (90% confidence interval 0.93-2.02), suggesting that, although the inhibitory effect of clopidogrel on CYP2C8 was reduced, it persisted for at least 1 day after withdrawal. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated the impact of clopidogrel on the pharmacokinetics of selexipag and its active metabolite and suggested that selexipag should be carefully prescribed with clopidogrel with dose adjustment or reducing the dosing frequency in Japanese clinical settings.

Abstract
Background Drug–drug interactions (DDIs) and drug–gene interactions (DGIs) pose a serious health risk that can be avoided by dose adaptation. These interactions are investigated in strictly controlled setups, quantifying the effect of one perpetrator drug or polymorphism at a time, but in real life patients frequently take more than two medications and are very heterogenous regarding their genetic background. Objectives The first objective of this study was to provide whole-body physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models of important cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8 perpetrator and victim drugs, built and evaluated for DDI and DGI studies. The second objective was to apply these models to describe complex interactions with more than two interacting partners. Methods PBPK models of the CYP2C8 and organic-anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 perpetrator drug gemfibrozil (parent–metabolite model) and the CYP2C8 victim drugs repaglinide (also an OATP1B1 substrate) and pioglitazone were developed using a total of 103 clinical studies. For evaluation, these models were applied to predict 34 different DDI studies, establishing a CYP2C8 and OATP1B1 PBPK DDI modeling network. Results The newly developed models show a good performance, accurately describing plasma concentration–time profiles, area under the plasma concentration–time curve (AUC) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) values, DDI studies as well as DGI studies. All 34 of the modeled DDI AUC ratios (AUC during DDI/AUC control) and DDI Cmax ratios (Cmax during DDI/Cmax control) are within twofold of the observed values. Conclusions Whole-body PBPK models of gemfibrozil, repaglinide, and pioglitazone have been built and qualified for DDI and DGI prediction. PBPK modeling is applicable to investigate complex interactions between multiple drugs and genetic polymorphisms.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with cardiovascular disease are commonly affected by a number of comorbidities leading to a high prevalence of polypharmacy. Polypharmacy increases the probability of drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Amongst these, DDIs involving clopidogrel, the most commonly utilized platelet P2Y12 inhibitor, is a topic of potential clinical concern. AREAS COVERED This article reviews DDIs between clopidogrel and drugs which are widely used in clinical practice. In particular, drugs shown to interfere with the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic effects of clopidogrel and the clinical implications of these findings are reviewed. These drugs include inhibitors of gastric acid secretion, statins, calcium channel blockers, antidiabetic agents, and antimicrobial agents. For the references, we searched PubMed, EMBASE, or the Cochrane Library. EXPERT OPINION Clopidogrel-drug interactions are common. Most of these DDIs are limited to laboratory findings showing an impact on clopidogrel-induced antiplatelet effects. While variability in clopidogrel-induced antiplatelet effects is known to affect clinical outcomes, with high platelet reactivity being associated with thrombotic complications among patients undergoing coronary stenting, most studies assessing the clinical implications of clopidogrel-drug interactions have not shown to significantly affect outcomes. However, awareness of these DDIs remains important for optimizing the selection of concomitant therapies.

Abstract
Aims Selexipag is a prostacyclin receptor agonist approved for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8 is involved in the metabolism of selexipag and its active metabolite, ACT‐333679. This study evaluated the interaction of selexipag and clopidogrel, a CYP2C8 inhibitor. Methods The study had a 2‐treatment, 1‐sequence, crossover design. Pharmacokinetics (PK) and CYP2C8 genotype were assessed in healthy male subjects administered selexipag (200 μg twice daily [b.i.d.]) alone or with clopidogrel (300 mg single dose or 75 mg once daily [o.d.]). PK modelling and simulation were conducted to support dosing recommendations. Results Clopidogrel had a comparatively small effect on selexipag (<1.5‐fold difference in any PK variable). For ACT‐333679, the major contributor to the drug effect, the area under the plasma concentration–time curve during a dose interval and the maximum plasma concentration increased 2.25‐fold (90% confidence interval [CI] 2.06, 2.46) and 1.69‐fold (90% CI 1.55, 1.84), respectively with clopidogrel 300 mg and 2.70‐fold (90% CI 2.45, 2.96) and 1.90‐fold (90% CI 1.72, 2.11), respectively with clopidogrel 75 mg. The effect of clopidogrel on selexipag and ACT‐333679 exposure was comparable for all identified CYP2C8 genotypes. PK simulations predicted comparable exposure to ACT‐333679 following selexipag 400 μg b.i.d., 400 μg o.d. in combination with clopidogrel 75 mg o.d and 200 μg b.i.d. with clopidogrel 75 mg o.d. Conclusion Results suggest that ACT‐333679 exposure can be maintained within the therapeutic range by reducing selexipag dosing frequency to o.d. or dose to half, when selexipag is coadministered with clopidogrel.

Exposure and response analysis of aleglitazar on cardiovascular risk markers and safety outcomes: An analysis of the AleCardio trial. Diabetes Obes Metab 2020; 22:30-38.

Abstract
AIMS The AleCardio trial aimed to characterize the efficacy and safety of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-αγ agonist aleglitazar in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and acute coronary syndrome. The trial terminated early because of futility and safety signals. We evaluated whether the safety signals could be attributed to increased exposure to aleglitazar. MATERIALS AND METHODS The AleCardio trial enrolled 7226 patients to receive aleglitazar 150 μg or matching placebo on top of standard care. A population pharmacokinetic analysis was conducted in a pharmacokinetic substudy to identify covariates that explained interindividual variability in exposure. Subsequently, the effect of these covariates on surrogate and clinical outcomes was assessed in the full patient population. RESULTS Concomitant administration of clopidogrel was identified as a covariate that influenced the apparent clearance of aleglitazar. Patients using clopidogrel had a mean predicted area under the plasma-concentration-time curve (AUC0-24 ) of 174.7 ng h/mL (SD: ±112.9 ng h/mL) versus 142.2 ng h/mL (SD: ±92.6 ng h/mL) in patients without clopidogrel. The effect of aleglitazar compared with placebo on HbA1c, haemoglobin, serum creatinine and adiponectin was modified by concomitant clopidogrel use (P for interaction 0.007, 0.002, <0.001 and < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Concomitant use of clopidogrel was identified as a covariate that explained interindividual variability in exposure to aleglitazar. Patients using clopidogrel showed an additional lowering of HbA1c, at the expense of an additional decrease in haemoglobin, and an increase in serum creatinine and adiponectin. Clopidogrel is a moderate inhibitor of CYP2C8. Because aleglitazar is metabolized by CYP2C8, a pharmacokinetic interaction could explain differences in exposure and response to aleglitazar.

Critical Differences between Enzyme Sources in Sensitivity to Detect Time-Dependent Inactivation of CYP2C8. Drug Metab Dispos 2019; 47:436-443.

Abstract
Clopidogrel acyl-β-d-glucuronide is a mechanism-based inhibitor of cytochrome P450 2C8 in human liver microsomes (HLMs). However, time-dependent inactivation (TDI) of CYP2C8 could not be detected in an earlier study in human recombinant CYP2C8 (Supersomes). Here, we investigate whether different enzyme sources exhibit differences in detection of CYP2C8 TDI under identical experimental conditions. Inactivation of CYP2C8 by amiodarone (100 μM), clopidogrel acyl-β-d-glucuronide (100 μM), gemfibrozil 1-O-β-glucuronide (100 μM), and phenelzine (100 μM) was investigated in HLMs and three recombinant human CYP2C8 preparations (Supersomes, Bactosomes, and EasyCYP Bactosomes) using amodiaquine N-deethylation as the marker reaction. Furthermore, the inactivation kinetics of CYP2C8 by clopidogrel glucuronide (5-250 μM) was determined in Supersomes and Bactosomes. Amiodarone caused weak TDI in all enzyme preparations tested, while the extent of inactivation by clopidogrel glucuronide, gemfibrozil glucuronide, and phenelzine varied markedly between preparations, and even different Supersome lots. Both glucuronides caused strong inactivation of CYP2C8 in HLMs, Bactosomes and in one Supersome lot (>50% inhibition), but significant inactivation could not be reliably detected in other Supersome lots or EasyCYP Bactosomes. In Bactosomes, the concentration producing half of kinact (KI) and maximal inactivation rate (kinact) of clopidogrel glucuronide (14 μM and 0.054 minute-1) were similar to those determined previously in HLMs. Phenelzine caused strong inactivation of CYP2C8 in one Supersome lot (91% inhibition) but not in HLMs or other recombinant CYP2C8 preparations. In conclusion, different enzyme sources and different lots of the same recombinant enzyme preparation are not equally sensitive to detect inactivation of CYP2C8, suggesting that recombinant CYPs should be avoided when identifying mechanism-based inhibitors.

Abstract
Dasabuvir is mainly metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8 and is predominantly used in a regimen containing ritonavir. Ritonavir and clopidogrel are inhibitors of CYP3A4 and CYP2C8, respectively. In a randomized, crossover study in 12 healthy subjects, we examined the impact of clinical doses of ritonavir (for 5 days), clopidogrel (for 3 days), and their combination on dasabuvir pharmacokinetics, and the effect of ritonavir on clopidogrel. Clopidogrel, but not ritonavir, increased the geometric mean AUC0‐∞ of dasabuvir 4.7‐fold; range 2.0–10.1‐fold (P = 8·10−7), compared with placebo. Clopidogrel and ritonavir combination increased dasabuvir AUC0‐∞ 3.9‐fold; range 2.1–7.9‐fold (P = 2·10−6), compared with ritonavir alone. Ritonavir decreased the AUC0‐4h of clopidogrel active metabolite by 51% (P = 0.0001), and average platelet inhibition from 51% without ritonavir to 31% with ritonavir (P = 0.0007). In conclusion, clopidogrel markedly elevates dasabuvir concentrations, and patients receiving ritonavir are at risk for diminished clopidogrel response.

Biopharm Drug Dispos 2018; 39:88-98. [PMID: 29240983 DOI: 10.1002/bdd.2117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2017] [Revised: 11/20/2017] [Accepted: 11/26/2017] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
Clopidogrel is predominantly hydrolyzed to clopidogrel carboxylic acid (CCA) by carboxylesterase 1, and subsequently CCA is glucuronidated to clopidogrel acyl glucuronide (CAG) by uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs); however, the UGT isoenzymes glucuronidating CCA remain unidentified to date. In this study, the glucuronidation of CCA was screened with pooled human liver microsomes (HLMs) and 7 human recombinant UGT (rUGT) isoforms. Results indicated that rUGT2B7 exhibited the highest catalytical activity for the CCA glucuronidation as measured with a mean Vmax value of 120.9 pmol/min/mg protein, 3- to 12-fold higher than that of the other rUGT isoforms tested. According to relative activity factor approach, the relative contribution of rUGT2B7 to CCA glucuronidation was estimated to be 58.6%, with the minor contributions (3%) from rUGT1A9. Moreover, the glucuronidation of CCA followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics with a mean Km value of 372.9 μM and 296.4 μM for pooled HLMs and rUGT2B7, respectively, showing similar affinity for both. The formation of CAG was significantly inhibited by azidothymidine and gemfibrozil (well-characterized UGT2B7 substrates) in a concentration-dependent manner, or by fluconazole (a typical UGT2B7-selective inhibitor) in a time-dependent manner, for both HLMs and rUGT2B7, respectively. In addition, CCA inhibited azidothymidine glucuronidation (catalyzed almost exclusively by UGT2B7) by HLMs and rUGT2B7 in a concentration-dependent manner, indicating that CCA is a substrate of UGT2B7. These results reveal that UGT2B7 is the major enzyme catalyzing clopidogrel glucuronidation in the human liver, and that there is the potential for drug-drug interactions between clopidogrel and the other substrate drugs of UGT2B7.

Abstract
The oxidation of montelukast is mainly mediated by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8, but other mechanisms may contribute to its disposition. In healthy volunteers, we investigated the effects of two widely used P2Y12 inhibitors on montelukast pharmacokinetics. Clopidogrel (300 mg on day 1 and 75 mg on day 2) increased the area under the plasma concentration–time curve (AUC) of montelukast 2.0‐fold (90% confidence interval (CI) 1.72–2.28, P < 0.001) and decreased the M6:montelukast AUC0‐7h ratio to 45% of control (90% CI 40–50%, P < 0.001). Prasugrel (60 mg on day 1 and 10 mg on day 2) had no clinically meaningful effect on montelukast pharmacokinetics. Our results imply that clopidogrel is at least a moderate inhibitor of CYP2C8, but prasugrel is not a clinically relevant CYP2C8 inhibitor. The different interaction potentials of clopidogrel and prasugrel are important to consider when antiplatelet therapy is planned for patients at risk for polypharmacy with CYP2C8 substrates.

Abstract
The antiplatelet drug clopidogrel is metabolized to an acyl-β-d-glucuronide, which causes time-dependent inactivation of CYP2C8. Our aim was to characterize the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes that are responsible for the formation of clopidogrel acyl-β-d-glucuronide. Kinetic analyses and targeted inhibition experiments were performed using pooled human liver and intestine microsomes (HLMs and HIMs, respectively) and selected human recombinant UGTs based on preliminary screening. The effects of relevant UGT polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetics of clopidogrel were evaluated in 106 healthy volunteers. UGT2B7 and UGT2B17 exhibited the greatest level of clopidogrel carboxylic acid glucuronidation activities, with a CLint,u of 2.42 and 2.82 µl⋅min-1⋅mg-1, respectively. Of other enzymes displaying activity (UGT1A3, UGT1A9, UGT1A10-H, and UGT2B4), UGT2B4 (CLint,u 0.51 µl⋅min-1⋅mg-1) was estimated to contribute significantly to the hepatic clearance. Nonselective UGT2B inhibitors strongly inhibited clopidogrel acyl-β-d-glucuronide formation in HLMs and HIMs. The UGT2B17 inhibitor imatinib and the UGT2B7 and UGT1A9 inhibitor mefenamic acid inhibited clopidogrel carboxylic acid glucuronidation in HIMs and HLMs, respectively. Incubation of clopidogrel carboxylic acid in HLMs with UDPGA and NADPH resulted in strong inhibition of CYP2C8 activity. In healthy volunteers, the UGT2B17*2 deletion allele was associated with a 10% decrease per copy in the plasma clopidogrel acyl-β-d-glucuronide to clopidogrel carboxylic acid area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to 4 hours (AUC0-4) ratio (P < 0.05). To conclude, clopidogrel carboxylic acid is metabolized mainly by UGT2B7 and UGT2B4 in the liver and by UGT2B17 in the small intestinal wall. The formation of clopidogrel acyl-β-d-glucuronide is impaired in carriers of the UGT2B17 deletion. These findings may have implications regarding the intracellular mechanisms leading to CYP2C8 inactivation by clopidogrel.

Abstract
Dasabuvir, a nonnucleoside NS5B polymerase inhibitor, is a sensitive substrate of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8 with a potential for drug-drug interaction (DDI) with clopidogrel. A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was developed for dasabuvir to evaluate the DDI potential with clopidogrel, the acyl-β-D glucuronide metabolite of which has been reported as a strong mechanism-based inhibitor of CYP2C8 based on an interaction with repaglinide. In addition, the PBPK model for clopidogrel and its metabolite were updated with additional in vitro data. Sensitivity analyses using these PBPK models suggested that CYP2C8 inhibition by clopidogrel acyl-β-D glucuronide may not be as potent as previously suggested. The dasabuvir and updated clopidogrel PBPK models predict a moderate increase of 1.5-1.9-fold for Cmax and 1.9-2.8-fold for AUC of dasabuvir when coadministered with clopidogrel. While the PBPK results suggest there is a potential for DDI between dasabuvir and clopidogrel, the magnitude is not expected to be clinically relevant.

Br J Clin Pharmacol 2017; 83:2778-2788. [PMID: 28715853 DOI: 10.1111/bcp.13379] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2017] [Revised: 05/29/2017] [Accepted: 07/09/2017] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS Based on in vitro data, there is evidence to suggest that cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8 is involved in the metabolism of selexipag and its active metabolite, ACT-333679. The present study evaluated the possible pharmacokinetic interactions of selexipag with gemfibrozil, a strong CYP2C8 inhibitor, and rifampicin, an inducer of CYP2C8. METHODS The study consisted of two independent parts, each conducted according to an open-label, randomized, crossover design. The pharmacokinetics and safety of selexipag and ACT-333679 were studied following single-dose administration either alone or in the presence of multiple-dose gemfibrozil (part I) or rifampicin (part II) in healthy male subjects. RESULTS Gemfibrozil had comparatively small effects on selexipag (less than 2-fold difference in any pharmacokinetic variable) but, with respect to ACT-333679, increased the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax ) 3.6-fold [90% confidence interval (CI) 3.1, 4.3] and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from zero to infinity (AUC0-∞ ) 11.1-fold (90% CI 9.2, 13.4). The marked increased exposure to ACT-333679, which mediates the majority of the pharmacological activity of selexipag, was accompanied by significantly more adverse events such as headache, nausea and vomiting. Coadministration of rifampicin increased the Cmax of selexipag 1.8-fold (90% CI 1.4, 2.2) and its AUC0-∞ 1.3-fold (90% CI 1.1, 1.4); its effects on ACT-333679 were to increase its Cmax 1.3-fold (90% CI 1.1, 1.6), shorten its half-life by 63% and reduce its AUC0-∞ by half (90% CI 0.45, 0.59). CONCLUSION Concomitant administration of selexipag and strong inhibitors of CYP2C8 must be avoided, whereas when coadministered with inducers of CYP2C8, dose adjustments of selexipag should be envisaged.
