Expert Opin Drug Saf 2024. [PMID: 39086080 DOI: 10.1080/14740338.2024.2387312] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study evaluated the pharmacokinetic interactions of orally administered chloroquine and metoclopramide. METHODS The study employed a randomized and two-phase cross-over design with four weeks washout plan. Twelve healthy male volunteers were shortlisted according to the set criteria and were administered with metoclopramide 10 mg PO, and chloroquine (a total of 1500 mg) at different intervals which were (500 mg at 0, 6, and 24 h). The concentration of chloroquine and metoclopramide in the blood samples was estimated using a validated HPLC-UV technique to affirm the maximum concentration (Cmax), time to reach Cmax (Tmax), and area under the curve (AUC). RESULTS Cmax, T1/2, and AUC of metoclopramide were increased up to 20, 10, and 47.8% respectively by the concomitantly administering Chloroquine. Chloroquine-treated phase showed increased values of Cmax (ng/ml), AUC (ng.h/ml), and T½ (h), i.e. 41.35 ± 1.61, 504.12 ± 66.25 and 5.72 ± 2.63, as compared to that Reference phase i.e. 34.52 ± 4.92, 341.14 ± 112.8, and 5.19 ± 1.14, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Chloroquine was found to attenuate CYP2D6 activity in healthy Pakistani male volunteers. Hence, patients that are prescribed with metoclopramide or other CYP2D6-substrate drugs require a dose adjustment when administered with chloroquine.

St. John's wort extract with a high hyperforin content does not induce P-glycoprotein activity at the human blood-brain barrier. Clin Transl Sci 2024; 17:e13804. [PMID: 38700454 PMCID: PMC11067874 DOI: 10.1111/cts.13804] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 04/04/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024] Open
Abstract
St. John's wort (SJW) extract, a herbal medicine with antidepressant effects, is a potent inducer of intestinal and/or hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes and P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which can cause clinically relevant drug interactions. It is currently not known whether SJW can also induce P-gp activity at the human blood-brain barrier (BBB), which may potentially lead to decreased brain exposure and efficacy of certain central nervous system (CNS)-targeted P-gp substrate drugs. In this study, we used a combination of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and cocktail phenotyping to gain a comprehensive picture on the effect of SJW on central and peripheral P-gp and CYP activities. Before and after treatment of healthy volunteers (n = 10) with SJW extract with a high hyperforin content (3-6%) for 12-19 days (1800 mg/day), the activity of P-gp at the BBB was assessed by means of PET imaging with the P-gp substrate [11C]metoclopramide and the activity of peripheral P-gp and CYPs was assessed by administering a low-dose phenotyping cocktail (caffeine, omeprazole, dextromethorphan, and midazolam or fexofenadine). SJW significantly increased peripheral P-gp, CYP3A, and CYP2C19 activity. Conversely, no significant changes in the peripheral metabolism, brain distribution, and P-gp-mediated efflux of [11C]metoclopramide across the BBB were observed following the treatment with SJW extract. Our data suggest that SJW does not lead to significant P-gp induction at the human BBB despite its ability to induce peripheral P-gp and CYPs. Simultaneous intake of SJW with CNS-targeted P-gp substrate drugs is not expected to lead to P-gp-mediated drug interactions at the BBB.

Abstract
The focus of the research was to overcome the limitations of metoclopramide (MTC) when administered intranasally. The aim was to improve its bioavailability, increase patient compliance, and prolong its residence time in the nasal cavity. MTC-loaded liposomes were prepared by applying the film hydration method. A study was conducted to determine how formulation variables affected encapsulation efficiency (EE %), mean particle size (MPS), and zeta potential (ZP). The MTC-liposomes were further loaded into the in situ gel (gellan gum) for longer residence times following intranasal administration. pH, gelling time, and in vitro release tests were conducted on the formulations produced. In vivo performance of the MTC-loaded in situ gels was appraised based on disparate parameters such as plasma peak concentration, plasma peak time, and elimination coefficient compared to intravenous administration. When the optimal liposome formulation contained 1.98% of SPC, 0.081% of cholesterol, 97.84% of chloroform, and 0.1% of MTC, the EE of MTC was 83.21%, PS was 107.3 nm. After 5 h, more than 80% of the drug was released from MTC-loaded liposome incorporated into gellan gum in situ gel formulation (Lip-GG), which exhibited improved absorption and higher bioavailability compared to MTC loaded into gellan gum in situ gel (MTC-GG). Acceptable cell viability was also achieved. It was found out that MTC-loaded liposomal in situ gel formulations administered through the nasal route could be a better choice than other options due to its ease of administration, accurate dosing, and higher bioavailability in comparison with MTC-GG.

Abstract
Symptoms of nausea and vomiting are common in palliative care and hospice patients. One of the many classes of medications used for the treatment of nausea and vomiting is dopamine receptor antagonists which are particularly helpful for treating nausea mediated by the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) and impaired gastrointestinal function. While dopamine antagonists can be very effective treatments for nausea they should be used with caution as they carry the risk of QTc prolongation, have a FDA black box warning for tardive dyskinesia (TD), and increased risk of precipitating psychosis and death in patients with dementia. This review will cover haloperidol, olanzapine, prochlorperazine, and metoclopramide for treatment of nausea and vomiting including evidence of efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics to improve safe and effective utilization in clinical practice. This includes medication receptor site affinities at histaminic, muscarinic, serotonergic, and alpha-adrenergic receptors which can help providers anticipate potential adverse effects and risk of extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), TD, and QTc prolongation. This review also includes considerations for dose adjustments based on renal function, hepatic function, and age. Understanding the pharmacology of dopamine antagonists can help providers choose the best treatment for control of nausea and vomiting and subsequently improve patients' quality of life.

Performance and Sensitivity of [ 99mTc]Tc-sestamibi Compared with Positron Emission Tomography Radiotracers to Measure P-glycoprotein Function in the Kidneys and Liver. Mol Pharm 2024; 21:932-943. [PMID: 38225758 PMCID: PMC10848257 DOI: 10.1021/acs.molpharmaceut.3c01036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 01/04/2024] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 01/17/2024]
Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp, encoded in humans by the ABCB1 gene and in rodents by the Abcb1a/b genes) is a membrane transporter that can restrict the intestinal absorption and tissue distribution of many drugs and may also contribute to renal and hepatobiliary drug excretion. The aim of this study was to compare the performance and sensitivity of currently available radiolabeled P-gp substrates for positron emission tomography (PET) with the single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) radiotracer [99mTc]Tc-sestamibi for measuring the P-gp function in the kidneys and liver. Wild-type, heterozygous (Abcb1a/b(+/-)), and homozygous (Abcb1a/b(-/-)) Abcb1a/b knockout mice were used as models of different P-gp abundance in excretory organs. Animals underwent either dynamic PET scans after intravenous injection of [11C]N-desmethyl-loperamide, (R)-[11C]verapamil, or [11C]metoclopramide or consecutive static SPECT scans after intravenous injection of [99mTc]Tc-sestamibi. P-gp in the kidneys and liver of the mouse models was analyzed with immunofluorescence labeling and Western blotting. In the kidneys, Abcb1a/b() mice had intermediate P-gp abundance compared with wild-type and Abcb1a/b(-/-) mice. Among the four tested radiotracers, renal clearance of radioactivity (CLurine,kidney) was significantly reduced (-83%) in Abcb1a/b(-/-) mice only for [99mTc]Tc-sestamibi. Biliary clearance of radioactivity (CLbile,liver) was significantly reduced in Abcb1a/b(-/-) mice for [11C]N-desmethyl-loperamide (-47%), [11C]metoclopramide (-25%), and [99mTc]Tc-sestamibi (-79%). However, in Abcb1a/b(+/-) mice, CLbile,liver was significantly reduced (-47%) only for [99mTc]Tc-sestamibi. Among the tested radiotracers, [99mTc]Tc-sestamibi performed best in measuring the P-gp function in the kidneys and liver. Owing to its widespread clinical availability, [99mTc]Tc-sestamibi represents a promising probe substrate to assess systemic P-gp-mediated drug-drug interactions and to measure renal and hepatic P-gp function under different (patho-)physiological conditions.

Deb S, Hopefl R. Simulation of drug-drug interactions between breast cancer chemotherapeutic agents and antiemetic drugs. Daru 2023; 31:95-105.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting are commonly experienced side effects in breast cancer (BCa) patients. Antiemetic drugs used in BCa treatment are either inhibitors or inducers of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, while anticancer drugs are metabolized by CYPs. OBJECTIVES The purpose of the present work was to evaluate in silico drug-drug interaction (DDI) potential between BCa chemotherapeutic drugs and antiemetic agents. METHODS The Drug-Drug Interaction™ module of GastroPlus™ was employed to assess CYP-related interactions between antiemetic and anticancer therapy combinations. The CYP inhibitory or inducing parameters (IC50, Ki, EC50) used in simulations were obtained from the literature. RESULTS Analyses of twenty-three BCa drugs indicated that 22% of the chemotherapeutic drugs do not need an antiemetic agent due to their low emetogenicity, whereas 30% of the anticancer drugs are not metabolized by CYPs. The remaining eleven anticancer drugs metabolized by CYPs generated ninety-nine combinations with nine antiemetics. Simulation of DDIs suggest that about half of the pairs did not demonstrate any potential for DDI, whereas 30%, 10%, and 9% of the pairs showed weak, moderate, and strong interaction potential, respectively. In the present study, netupitant was the only antiemetic that showed strong inhibitory interactions (predicted AUC ratio > 5) with CYP3A4-metabolzied anticancer therapies (e.g., docetaxel, ribociclib, olaparib). Moderate to no interactions were observed with ondansetron, aprepitant, rolapitant, and dexamethasone in combination with anticancer agents. CONCLUSION It is critical to recognize that these interactions can get amplified in cancer patients because of the severity of the disease and chemotherapy toxicities. Clinicians need to be aware of the DDI likelihood of the drug combinations used in BCa treatment.

Abstract
The liver plays a central role in the pharmacokinetics of drugs through drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) causes disease-specific alterations to the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) processes, including a decrease in protein expression of basolateral uptake transporters, an increase in efflux transporters, and modifications to enzyme activity. This can result in increased drug exposure and adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Our goal was to predict drugs that pose increased risks for ADRs in NASH patients. Bibliographic research identified 71 drugs with reported ADRs in patients with liver disease, mainly non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), 54 of which are known substrates of transporters and/or metabolizing enzymes. Since NASH is the progressive form of NAFLD but is most frequently undiagnosed, we identified other drugs at risk based on NASH-specific alterations to ADME processes. Here, we present another list of 71 drugs at risk of pharmacokinetic disruption in NASH, based on their transport and/or metabolism processes. It encompasses drugs from various pharmacological classes for which ADRs may occur when used in NASH patients, especially when eliminated through multiple pathways altered by the disease. Therefore, these results may inform clinicians regarding the selection of drugs for use in NASH patients.

Abstract
Drug–drug interactions (DDIs) are one of the most frequent causes of adverse drug reactions or loss of treatment efficacy. The risk of DDIs increases with polypharmacy and is therefore of particular concern in individuals likely to present comorbidities (i.e., elderly or obese individuals). These special populations, and the population of pregnant women, are characterized by physiological changes that can impact drug pharmacokinetics and consequently the magnitude of DDIs. This review compiles existing DDI studies in elderly, obese, and pregnant populations that include a control group without the condition of interest. The impact of physiological changes on the magnitude of DDIs was then analyzed by comparing the exposure of a medication in presence and absence of an interacting drug for the special population relative to the control population. Aging does not alter the magnitude of DDIs as the related physiological changes impact the victim and perpetrator drugs to a similar extent, regardless of their elimination pathway. Conversely, the magnitude of DDIs can be changed in obese individuals or pregnant women, as these conditions impact drugs to different extents depending on their metabolic pathway.

Abstract
It is unclear whether metoclopramide and domperidone act on human cardiac serotonin 5-HT4-receptors. Therefore, we studied transgenic mice that only express the human 5-HT4 receptor in cardiomyocytes in the atrium and in the ventricle (5-HT4-TG), their wild type-littermates (WT) and isolated human atrial preparations. We found that only metoclopramide but not domperidone enhanced the force of contraction in left atrial preparations (pEC50 = 6.0 ± 0.1; n = 7) from 5-HT4-TG, isolated spontaneously beating right atrial preparations (pEC50 = 6.1 ± 0.1; n = 7) from 5-HT4-TG, Langendorff perfused hearts from 5-HT4-TG, living 5-HT4-TG and human right atrial muscle preparations obtained during bypass surgery of patients suffering from coronary heart disease. The maximum inotropic effect of metoclopramide was smaller (81 ± 2%) than that of 5-HT on the left atria from 5-HT4-TG. The maximum increase in the beating rate due to metoclopramide was 93 ± 2% of effect of 5-HT on right atrial preparations from 5-HT4-TG. Metoclopramide and domperidone were inactive in WT. We found that metoclopramide but not domperidone increased the phosphorylation state of phospholamban in the isolated perfused hearts or muscle strips of 5-HT4-TG, but not in WT. Metoclopramide, but not domperidone, shifted the positive inotropic or chronotropic effects of 5-HT in isolated left atrial and right atrial preparations from 5-HT4-TG dextrally, resp., to higher concentrations: the pEC50 of 5-HT for increase in force was in the absence of metoclopramide 8.6 ± 0.1 (n = 5) versus 8.0 ± 0.3 in the presence of 1 μM metoclopramide (n = 5; P < 0.05); and the beating rate was 7.8 ± 0.2 (n = 7) in the absence of metoclopramide versus 7.2 ± 0.1 in the presence of 1 μM metoclopramide (n = 6; P < 0.05). These results suggested that metoclopramide had an antagonistic effect on human cardiac 5-HT4 receptors. In summary, we showed that metoclopramide, but not domperidone, was a partial agonist at human cardiac 5-HT4-receptors.

[PMID: 33739209 DOI: 10.1080/17446651.2021.1886922] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2020] [Accepted: 02/04/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
Introduction: Gastroparesis (GP) is characterized by delayed gastric emptying in the absence of mechanical obstruction. About 75% of GP patients are females. Diabetes and idiopathic are the two commonest etiologies of GP. Up to two-thirds of the GP patients do not have significant symptom responses to medical therapies, and there is a paucity of available oral prokinetic agents with only one medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for this indication. The oral and parenteral formulations of metoclopramide were FDA approved in 1979 to treat symptoms of acute and recurrent diabetic GP. Now, more than 40 years later, a nasal preparation of metoclopramide (GimotiTM) was approved in June 2020 for the same indication.Areas covered: PubMed search using the keywords 'nasal metoclopramide' and 'diabetic gastroparesis.' This article aims to provide a concise review of the pharmacology, clinical efficacy, and tolerability of nasal metoclopramide.Expert opinion: The nasal formulation can be systemically absorbed without relying on the passage through a poorly emptying stomach, thus assuring the delivery of a therapeutic dose of metoclopramide, even during episodes of vomiting. Hence, metoclopramide nasal spray has the potential to be used during an acute flare, potentially avoiding hospitalizations.

Influence of Cation Transporters (OCTs and MATEs) on the Renal and Hepatobiliary Disposition of [ 11C]Metoclopramide in Mice. Pharm Res 2021; 38:127-140. [PMID: 33559045 PMCID: PMC7902338 DOI: 10.1007/s11095-021-03002-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2020] [Accepted: 11/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the role of cation transporters (OCTs, MATEs) in the renal and hepatic disposition of the radiolabeled antiemetic drug [11C]metoclopramide in mice with PET. METHODS PET was performed in wild-type mice after administration of an intravenous microdose (<1 μg) of [11C]metoclopramide without and with co-administration of either unlabeled metoclopramide (5 or 10 mg/kg) or the prototypical cation transporter inhibitors cimetidine (150 mg/kg) or sulpiride (25 mg/kg). [11C]Metoclopramide PET was also performed in wild-type and Slc22a1/2(-/-) mice. Radiolabeled metabolites were measured at 15 min after radiotracer injection and PET data were corrected for radiolabeled metabolites. RESULTS [11C]Metoclopramide was highly metabolized and [11C]metoclopramide-derived radioactivity was excreted into the urine. The different investigated treatments decreased (~2.5-fold) the uptake of [11C]metoclopramide from plasma into the kidney and liver, inhibited metabolism and decreased (up to 3.8-fold) urinary excretion, which resulted in increased plasma concentrations of [11C]metoclopramide. Kidney and liver uptake were moderately (~1.3-fold) reduced in Slc22a1/2(-/-) mice. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest a contribution of OCT1/2 to the kidney and liver uptake and of MATEs to the urinary excretion of [11C]metoclopramide in mice. Cation transporters may contribute, next to variability in the activity of metabolizing enzymes, to variability in metoclopramide pharmacokinetics and side effects.

Abstract
Metoclopramide inhibits the central and peripheral D2 receptors and is frequently prescribed in adults and children as an antiemetic or a prokinetic drug to control symptoms of upper gastrointestinal motor disorders. Metoclopramide is predominantly metabolized via N-dealkylation and it is primarily mediated by CYP2D6 which is highly polymorphic. Thus, the effects of CYP2D6 genetic polymorphism on the pharmacokinetics of metoclopramide were evaluated in this study. All volunteers were genotyped for CYP2D6 and divided into four different genotype groups (CYP2D6*wt/*wt [*wt = *1 or *2], CYP2D6*wt/*10, CYP2D6*10/*10, and CYP2D6*5/*10). Each subject received a single oral dose of metoclopramide 10 mg. Plasma concentrations of metoclopramide were measured by using HPLC-UV. Compared to CYP2D6*wt/*wt, AUCinf of CYP2D6*wt/*10, CYP2D6*10/*10, and CYP2D6*5/*10 significantly increased by 1.5-, 2.3-, and 2.5-fold, respectively. Cmax also increased significantly in comparison to CYP2D6*wt/*wt across all genotype groups, with 1.5-, 1.7-, and 1.7-fold increases seen in CYP2D6*wt/*10, CYP2D6*10/*10, and CYP2D6*5/*10 groups, respectively. The CL/F of metoclopramide decreased in CYP2D6 genotype groups with decreased function alleles, as decreases of 37%, 56% and 61% were observed in CYP2D6*wt/10, *10/10, and *5/*10 genotype groups in comparison to the CYP2D6*wt/*wt group. In conclusion, the genetic polymorphisms of CYP2D6 significantly affected metoclopramide pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
The antiemetic and gastroprokinetic drug metoclopramide is a weak substrate of the blood‐brain barrier (BBB) efflux transporter P‐gp and displays central nervous system (CNS) side effects (i.e., extrapyramidal symptoms and tardive dyskinesia) caused by dopamine D2 receptor blockade in the basal ganglia. These side effects occur with a higher incidence in elderly people. We used positron emission tomography to assess the brain distribution of [11C]metoclopramide in young (n = 11, 26 ± 3 years) and elderly (n = 7, 68 ± 9 years) healthy men both after administration of a microdose (9 ± 7 µg) and a microdose co‐injected with a therapeutic dose of unlabeled metoclopramide (10 mg). For both doses, elderly subjects had a significantly higher total volume of distribution (VT) of [11C]metoclopramide in the basal ganglia than young subjects (microdose: +26%, therapeutic dose: +41%). Increases in VT (= K1/k2) were caused by significant decreases in the transfer rate constant of [11C]metoclopramide from brain into plasma (k2, microdose: −18%, therapeutic dose: −30%), whereas the distributional clearance from plasma into brain (K1) remained unaltered. This reduction in the clearance of [11C]metoclopramide (k2) from the brains of elderly subjects may be caused by an age‐related decrease in the activity of P‐gp at the BBB and may contribute to the higher incidence of CNS side effects of metoclopramide in the aged population. Our data suggest that an age‐associated decrease in the clearance properties of the BBB may modulate the CNS effects or side effects of clinically used P‐gp substrates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess the influence of enzyme suppression on the values of various pharmacokinetic factors of orally administered metoclopramide. METHOD This study was conducted in two phases and a 4-week duration was adopted for drug washout. This randomized study involved 12 healthy human volunteers who received a single oral dose of metoclopramide 20 mg. After the washout period, volunteers received clarithromycin 500 mg two times per day for consecutive 5 days. On test day (fifth day), a single oral dose of metoclopramide 20 mg was also given to the volunteers, and collection of blood samples was conducted at pre-decided time points. Various pharmacokinetic parameters such as Cmax, Tmax, and AUC0-∞ of metoclopramide were determined by analyzing the blood samples using a validated HPLC-UV method. RESULTS Clarithromycin increased the mean values of Cmax, AUC0-∞, and T1/2 of metoclopramide by 46%, 78.6%, and 9.8%, respectively. CONCLUSION Clarithromycin noticeably increased the concentration of plasma metoclopramide. This study's results provide in vivo confirmation of the CYP3A4 involvement in metoclopramide metabolism, in addition to CYP2D6. Therefore, metoclopramide pharmacokinetics may be clinically affected by clarithromycin and other potent enzyme inhibitors.

Influence of Rifampicin Pre-treatment on the In vivo Pharmacokinetics of Metoclopramide in Pakistani Healthy Volunteers Following Concurrent Oral Administration. Curr Drug Metab 2020; 21:301-306. [PMID: 32407272 DOI: 10.2174/1389200221666200514132654] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2019] [Revised: 03/11/2020] [Accepted: 04/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metoclopramide is metabolized by various cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes such as CYP3A4, CYP1A2, CYP2D6, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19. Rifampicin is a non-selective inducer of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and CYP enzymes such as CYP3A4 and others. OBJECTIVE This study was aimed at the evaluation of rifampicin's enzyme induction effect on the pharmacokinetic parameters of orally administered metoclopramide. METHOD This randomized, single-blind, two-phase cross-over pharmacokinetic study separated by a 4-week washout period was conducted at a single center in Pakistan. It involved twelve Pakistani healthy male volunteers (nonsmokers) divided into two groups. In the reference phase, each volunteer received a single oral dose of 20 mg metoclopramide (Maxolon 10 mg, GlaxoSmithKline, Pakistan), while in the rifampicin-treated phase, each volunteer received 600 mg rifampicin once daily for 6 days through oral route. On day 6, metoclopramide (20 mg) was administered 2 hours after the last pretreatment dose of rifampicin. The serial blood samples were collected on predetermined time points (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 18 h) and analyzed using a validated HPLC method for the determination of pharmacokinetic parameters, i.e. Cmax, Tmax, and AUC0-∞ of metoclopramide. The whole study was monitored by an unblinded clinician for the purpose of volunteer's health safety. RESULTS All the volunteers participated in the study until the end. Twelve healthy Pakistani males having mean age 26.0 (range 20.6-34.1) years and body mass index 25.1 (range 16.2-31.5) kg/m2 were included in this study after taking written informed consent. Rifampicin significantly (P<0.05) decreased the mean Cmax, AUC0-∞ and T1/2 of metoclopramide by 35%, 68%, and 44%, respectively. The laboratory tests did not reveal any significant change in the biochemical, physical, hematological, or urinalytical values before and after metoclopramide treatment. None of the volunteers complained of any discomfort during the study. CONCLUSION Rifampicin noticeably decreased the concentration of plasma metoclopramide. These results give in vivo confirmation of the CYP3A4 involvement in the metoclopramide metabolism, in addition to CYP2D6. Therefore, metoclopramide pharmacokinetics may be clinically affected by rifampicin and other potent enzyme inducers.

Abstract
Metoclopramide is commonly used for gastroesophageal reflux. The aims of the present study were to develop a pediatric population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) model, which was applied to simulate the metoclopramide exposure following dosing used in clinical practice. Opportunistic pharmacokinetic data were collected from pediatric patients receiving enteral or parenteral metoclopramide per standard of care and these data were simultaneously fitted using NONMEM. Allometric scaling with body weight was included a priori in the model. Using the final model, the steady‐state maximum concentrations (Css,max) and the area under the metoclopramide plasma concentration‐time curve at steady state from 0 to 6 hours (AUCss,0–6h) were simulated following 0.1 or 0.15 mg/kg orally every 6 hours in virtual patients, and compared with previously reported ranges associated with toxicity or the efficacy for gastroesophageal reflux in infants. A two‐compartment model with first‐order absorption best characterized 87 concentration measurements from 50 patients (median [range] postnatal age of 8.89 years [0.01–19.13]). There were 20 infants (≤ 2 years), 9 children (2 years to age ≤ 12 years), and 21 adolescents (> 12 years). Body weight was the only covariate included in the final model. For > 75% of virtual patients, simulated Css,max and AUCss,0–6h estimates were within the range associated with efficacy for gastroesophageal reflux in infants; however, slightly lower exposures were predicted in virtual patients < 2 years. Our study suggests that a metoclopramide enteral dose of 0.1 mg/kg every 6 hours, which was previously recommended for pediatric patients, results in simulated exposure generally within suggested ranges for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cola nitida is commonly chewed in many West African cultures to ease hunger pangs and sometimes for their stimulant and euphoriant qualities. Metoclopramide is a known substrate for P-gp, SULT2A1 and CYP2D6 and studies have revealed that caffeine- a major component of Cola nitida can induce P-glycoprotein (P-gp), SULT2A1 and SULT1A1, hence a possible drug interaction may occur on co-administration. The aim of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetic interactions of Cola nitida and metoclopramide in rabbits. METHODS The study was performed in two stages using five healthy male rabbits with a 1-week washout period between treatments. Stage one involved oral administration of metoclopramide (0.5 mg/kg) alone while in the second stage, metoclopramide (0.5 mg/kg) was administered concurrently with Cola nitida (0.7 mg/kg). Blood samples were collected after each stage at predetermined intervals and analyzed for plasma metoclopramide concentration using HPLC. RESULTS Compared with control, the metoclopramide/Cola nitida co-administration produced a decrease in plasma concentration of metoclopramide at all the time intervals except at the 7th hour. The following pharmacokinetic parameters were also decreased: area under the curve (51%), peak plasma concentration (39%), half-life (51%); while an increase in elimination rate constant (113%) and clearance rate (98%) were noted indicating rapid elimination of the drug. A minimal decrease in absorption rate (10%) was also observed. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study reveal a possible herb-drug interaction between Cola nitida and metoclopramide.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metoclopramide is mainly metabolized by CYP2D6, CYP3A4, CYP2C19, and CYP1A2 enzymes, while cilostazol is also metabolized by CYP3A4, CYP2C19, and CYP1A2 enzymes. AIM This study evaluates the effect of cilostazol on the pharmacokinetics of oral metoclopramide. METHODS This was a randomized, two-phase cross-over pharmacokinetic study separated by a 4-week wash-out time period, 12 healthy non-smoking volunteers received metoclopramide 20 mg as a single oral dose and after 4 weeks, cilostazol 100 mg twice daily for 4 days then with metoclopramide 20 mg on test day. Serial blood samples were analyzed by using a validated high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet method to determine maximum plasma drug concentration (Cmax), time to reach (Tmax), and area under the curve (AUC0-∞) of metoclopramide. RESULTS Cilostazol increased the mean Cmax, AUC0-∞ and half-life (T1/2) of metoclopramide by 6%, 27% and by 0.79 %, respectively. In addition, Tmax of metoclopramide was delayed by cilostazol. CONCLUSION The results showed delayed Tmax of metoclopramide by cilostazol, which could lead to the conclusion that cilostazol affects the absorption of metoclopramide. Both drugs when necessary to administer together must not be administered at the same time especially when given in gastroparesis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metoclopramide is primarily a dopamine receptor antagonist, with 5HT3 receptor antagonist and 5HT4 receptor agonist activity, and used as an antiemetic and gastroprokinetic since almost 50 years. Regulatory authorities issued restrictions and recommendations regarding long-term use of the drug at oral doses exceeding 10 mg 3-4 times daily because of the risk for development of tardive dyskinesia. The aim of our study was to review mechanism(s) of action and pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic properties of metoclopramide, as well as the risk of metoclopramide-induced tardive dyskinesia, factors that may change drug exposure in humans, and to summarize the clinical context for appropriate use of the drug. METHODS A PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cross Reference search was done using the key words and combined searches: drug-drug interaction, gastroparesis, metoclopramide, natural history, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, drug-drug interaction, outcome, risk factors, tardive dyskinesia. KEY RESULTS Data show that the risk of tardive dyskinesia from metoclopramide is low, in the range of 0.1% per 1000 patient years. This is far below a previously estimated 1%-10% risk suggested in treatment guidelines by regulatory authorities. High-risk groups are elderly females, diabetics, patients with liver or kidney failure, and patients with concomitant antipsychotic drug therapy, which reduces the threshold for neurological complications. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES The risk of tardive dyskinesia due to metoclopramide is far below approximated numbers in treatment guidelines. This risk and the influence of known risk factors should be considered when starting a course of metoclopramide for treatment of gastroparesis.

Abstract
We report two cases of metoclopramide-induced acute dystonia in pregnant women and consider the role of genetic variation in the pathogenesis of the adverse effect. By whole-gene sequencing, we found that both women were CYP2D6 poor metabolizers. We theorize that CYP2D6 governs the risk of metoclopramide-related acute dystonia through its role in the synthesis of serotonin, which inhibits the dopamine tone. The effect of CYP2D6 poor metabolism is exaggerated by rises in the estrogen levels during pregnancy, as the hormone augments dopamine sensitivity. Together, the two factors may create a hyper-dopaminergic state that is easily upset by metoclopramide, resulting in acute dystonia.

Abstract
Introduction: Gastroparesis is a chronic disorder of the stomach characterized by delayed gastric emptying without mechanical obstruction. Diabetes is the most commonly known cause of gastroparesis. Management of diabetic gastroparesis involves lifestyle modifications, glycemic control, pharmacological drugs, and for refractory cases surgical treatments. Metoclopramide remains the only drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration for diabetic gastroparesis. The aim of this article is to provide a concise review of the pharmacology, clinical efficacy and tolerability of metoclopramide. Areas covered: We searched PubMed using the key words 'metoclopramide', 'diabetic gastroparesis', and 'gastric emptying'. The relevant articles and their bibliography were reviewed. Metoclopramide acts on several different receptors; primarily as a dopamine receptor antagonist, both peripherally improving gastric emptying, and centrally resulting in an anti-emetic effect. Metoclopramide side effects, mostly related to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, include drowsiness, restlessness, hyperprolactinemia, and tardive dyskinesia (TD), a movement disorder that may be irreversible. Expert opinion: Metoclopramide carries a black box warning for use >12 weeks due to the risk of TD. However, gastroparesis patients experience chronic symptoms often requiring prolonged treatments. Physicians and patients look forward to FDA approval of new agents for gastroparesis with better efficacy and safety profile.

Positron Emission Tomography Imaging Reveals an Importance of Saturable Liver Uptake Transport for the Pharmacokinetics of Metoclopramide. CONTRAST MEDIA & MOLECULAR IMAGING 2018; 2018:7310146.

Abstract
Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging using [11C]metoclopramide, a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate, was used to investigate the contribution of transport processes to metoclopramide liver clearance. The liver kinetics obtained after injection of [11C]metoclopramide were measured using PET in rats (n=4‐5) in the absence (tracer dose) and the presence of a pharmacologic dose of metoclopramide (3 mg/kg), with or without P-gp inhibition using i.v. tariquidar (8 mg/kg). Corresponding [11C]metoclopramide kinetics and metabolism in plasma (n=3) were measured using radio-HPLC analysis. [11C]metoclopramide exposure to the liver and plasma was described by the area under the time-activity curve (AUC) of the radioactivity kinetics in the liver and parent [11C]metoclopramide kinetics in plasma, respectively. The pharmacologic dose of metoclopramide resulted in a ∼2.2-fold increase in [11C]metoclopramide AUCplasma, while P-gp inhibition did not. AUCliver was lower using the pharmacologic dose (42.9 ± 13.8 SUV·min) compared with the tracer dose (210.0 ± 32.4 SUV·min). P-gp inhibition enhanced the liver exposure in the pharmacologic condition only (81.0 ± 3.1 SUV·min). [11C]metoclopramide PET imaging suggests an unpredicted role for hepatocyte uptake transporter(s) in controlling metoclopramide pharmacokinetics in addition to the known contribution of the metabolic enzymes and the P-gp.

Abstract
Background: Despito a large number of studies investigating the potential clinical relevance of CYP2D6 genotyping in preventing treatment failure (eg, insufficient efficacy and/or unacceptable adverse effects), the prevalence of patients using drugs metabolized by that isoenzyme is relatively unknown. Objective: To investigate the prevalence of patients in different populations using drugs metabolized by CYP2D6. Methods: In this cross-sectional study. 6 different patient populations were investigated: general, general hospital, geriatric, psychogoriatric, psychiatric, and mentally retarded. From every population, 150 adults using at least one drug were randomly selected. Primary outcome was the prevalence of patients using at least one drug metabolized by CYP2D6. The prevalence of patients using at least one CYP2D6 substrate in different populations was compared with the general population using χ2 statistics. Data were expressed as a relative risk with a 95% confidence interval. Results: Patients from the general hospital (RR 1.81; 95% CI 1.26 to 2.62), geriatric patients (RR 2.16; 95% CI 1.26 to 2.62), psychogeriatric patients (RR 2.31; 95% CI 1.63 to 3.27), and psychiatric patients (RR 2.44; 95% CI 1.73 to 3.44) were treated more frequently with at least one drug metabolized by CYP2D6 compared with patients in the general population. Approximately 50% of psychiatric (52%), psychogeriatric (49%), and geriatric (46%) patients used at least one drug metabolized by CYP2D6. In total, 416 drugs metabolized by CYP2D6 were prescribed, with 257 (62%) of these classified as an antidepressant (Anatomical and Therapeutic Chemical [ATC] category N06A) or antipsychotic (ATC N05A). Conclusions: Several patient populations (eg, psychiatric, psychogeriatric, geriatric) have a high prevalence of patients treated with at least one drug metabolized by CYP2D6. This study does not provide evidence regarding the clinical evidence of CYP2D6 genotyping, but shows that, if CYP2D6 genotyping is relevant for patient care, the highest probability of cost-effectiveness will, most likely, be in specific populations.

Abstract
A 54-year-old Japanese woman was diagnosed with major depressive disorder and prescribed paroxetine 20 mg/day. In around May 2013, the patient experienced gastric discomfort, so metoclopramide was prescribed. Beginning on June 4, 2013, the patient was given metoclopramide, 10 mg intravenously, twice per week. On the seventh day after beginning metoclopramide, facial hot flushes, increased sweating, muscle rigidity, and galactorrhea were noted. Extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) rapidly subsided in response to an intramuscular injection of biperiden. Blood biochemical tests revealed an elevated serum prolactin level of 44 ng/mL. After stopping metoclopramide, EPS disappeared. Serum prolactin level decreased to 15 ng/mL after 4 weeks. In our case, although no adverse reactions had previously occurred following the administration of metoclopramide, the patient developed EPS and hyperprolactinemia following the administration of this antiemetic in combination with paroxetine. Paroxetine and metoclopramide are mainly metabolized by CYP2D6, and they are inhibitors for CYP2D6. We report a case with EPS and hyperprolactinemia whose plasma paroxetine and metoclopramide level rapidly increased after the addition of metoclopramide. Our experience warrants the issuing of a precaution that adverse reactions may arise following the coadministration of metoclopramide and paroxetine even at their respective standard dose levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastroparesis is a disorder characterized by delayed gastric emptying due to chronic abnormal gastric motility. The treatment of the disease often entails the co-administration of several classes of pharmacological agents. These agents may be metabolized via the same pathway. Inhibition or induction of a shared metabolic pathway leads to change in the systemic levels of prescribed drugs, possibly leading to undesired clinical outcomes. PURPOSE This review discusses different pharmacological treatment for gastroparesis patients and describes the potential for drug-drug interactions (DDIs) in some of the combinations that are currently used. Prokinetic agents such as metoclopramide and domperidone are the cornerstone in treatment of gastroparesis. Antiemetic agents such as promethazine and ondansetron are frequently administered to gastroparesis patients to reduce nausea and vomiting. Gastroparesis is prevalent in diabetic patients and therefore antidiabetic agents are also prescribed. Many of these co-administered drugs are metabolized via common drug metabolizing enzymes and this can trigger potential DDIs. The scientific literature was reviewed from the years 1975-2014 for original research articles and reviews that evaluated DDIs in gastroparesis. Many commonly prescribed combinations were predicted to cause potential DDIs in gastroparesis patients. This review will help inform about potential hazardous combinations. This information will hopefully lead to less adverse effects and more successful gastroparesis management.

Abstract
Opioid-induced bowel dysfunction (OIBD) comprises gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, including dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, gastric stasis, bloating, abdominal pain, and opioid-induced constipation, which significantly impair patients’ quality of life and may lead to undertreatment of pain. Traditional laxatives are often prescribed for OIBD symptoms, although they display limited efficacy and exert adverse effects. Other strategies include prokinetics and change of opioids or their administration route. However, these approaches do not address underlying causes of OIBD associated with opioid effects on mostly peripheral opioid receptors located in the GI tract. Targeted management of OIBD comprises purely peripherally acting opioid receptor antagonists and a combination of opioid receptor agonist and antagonist. Methylnaltrexone induces laxation in 50%–60% of patients with advanced diseases and OIBD who do not respond to traditional oral laxatives without inducing opioid withdrawal symptoms with similar response (45%–50%) after an oral administration of naloxegol. A combination of prolonged-release oxycodone with prolonged-release naloxone (OXN) in one tablet (a ratio of 2:1) provides analgesia with limited negative effect on the bowel function, as oxycodone displays high oral bioavailability and naloxone demonstrates local antagonist effect on opioid receptors in the GI tract and is totally inactivated in the liver. OXN in daily doses of up to 80 mg/40 mg provides equally effective analgesia with improved bowel function compared to oxycodone administered alone in patients with chronic non-malignant and cancer-related pain. OIBD is a common complication of long-term opioid therapy and may lead to quality of life deterioration and undertreatment of pain. Thus, a complex assessment and management that addresses underlying causes and patomechanisms of OIBD is recommended. Newer strategies comprise methylnaltrexone or OXN administration in the management of OIBD, and OXN may be also considered as a preventive measure of OIBD development in patients who require opioid administration.

Abstract
Prokinetic agents are medications that enhance coordinated gastrointestinal motility and transit of content in the gastrointestinal tract, mainly by amplifying and coordinating the gastrointestinal muscular contractions. In addition to dietary therapy, prokinetic therapy should be considered as a means to improve gastric emptying and symptoms of gastroparesis, balancing benefits and risks of treatment. In the United States, metoclopramide remains the first-line prokinetic therapy, because it is the only approved medication for gastroparesis. Newer agents are being developed for the management of gastroparesis. This article provides detailed information about prokinetic agents for the treatment of gastroparesis.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 enzymes (cyt P450s) with an active center of iron protoheme are involved in most clinical drugs metabolism process. Herein, an electrochemical platform for the investigation of drug metabolism in vitro was constructed by immobilizing cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) with cyt P450 reductase (CPR) on graphene modified glass carbon electrode. Direct and reversible electron transfer of the immobilized CYP2D6 with the direct electron transfer constant of 0.47 s(-1) and midpoint potential of -0.483 V was obtained. In the presence of substrate tramadol, the electrochemical-driven CYP2D6 mediated catalytic behavior toward the conversion of tramadol to o-demethyl-tramadol was confirmed. The Michaelis-Menten constant (Km(app)) and heterogeneous reaction rate constant during the metabolism of tramadol were calculated to be 23.85 μM and 1.96 cm s(-1), respectively. The inhibition effect of quinidine on CYP2D6 catalyze-cycle was also investigated. Furthermore, this system was applied to studying the metabolism of other drugs.

Abstract
1. Metoclopramide is a widely used clinical drug in a variety of medical settings with rare acute dystonic events reported. The aim of this study was to assess a previous report of inactivation of CYP2D6 by metoclopramide, to determine the contribution of various CYPs to metoclopramide metabolism, and to identify the mono-oxygenated products of metoclopramide metabolism. 2. Metoclopramide interacted with CYP2D6 with Type I binding and a Ks value of 9.56 ± 1.09 µM. CYP2D6 was the major metabolizer of metoclopramide and the two major products were N-deethylation of the diethyl amine and N-hydroxylation on the phenyl ring amine. CYPs 1A2, 2C9, 2C19, and 3A4 also metabolized metoclopramide. 3. While reversible inhibition of CYP2D6 was noted, CYP2D6 inactivation by metoclopramide was not observed under conditions of varying concentration or varying time using Supersomes(TM) or pooled human liver microsomes. 4. The major metabolites of metoclopramide were N-hydroxylation and N-deethylation formed most efficiently by CYP2D6 but also formed by all CYPs examined. Also, while metoclopramide is metabolized primarily by CYP2D6, it is not a mechanism-based inactivator of CYP2D6 in vitro.

Abstract
Sucralose is a synthetic organochlorine sweetener (OC) that is a common ingredient in the world's food supply. Sucralose interacts with chemosensors in the alimentary tract that play a role in sweet taste sensation and hormone secretion. In rats, sucralose ingestion was shown to increase the expression of the efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and two cytochrome P-450 (CYP) isozymes in the intestine. P-gp and CYP are key components of the presystemic detoxification system involved in first-pass drug metabolism. The effect of sucralose on first-pass drug metabolism in humans, however, has not yet been determined. In rats, sucralose alters the microbial composition in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), with relatively greater reduction in beneficial bacteria. Although early studies asserted that sucralose passes through the GIT unchanged, subsequent analysis suggested that some of the ingested sweetener is metabolized in the GIT, as indicated by multiple peaks found in thin-layer radiochromatographic profiles of methanolic fecal extracts after oral sucralose administration. The identity and safety profile of these putative sucralose metabolites are not known at this time. Sucralose and one of its hydrolysis products were found to be mutagenic at elevated concentrations in several testing methods. Cooking with sucralose at high temperatures was reported to generate chloropropanols, a potentially toxic class of compounds. Both human and rodent studies demonstrated that sucralose may alter glucose, insulin, and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) levels. Taken together, these findings indicate that sucralose is not a biologically inert compound.

Abstract
Testing for embryotoxicity in vitro is an attractive alternative to animal experimentation. The embryonic stem cell test (EST) is such a method, and it has been formally validated by the European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods. A number of recent studies have underscored the potential of this method. However, the EST performed well below the 78% accuracy expected from the validation study using a new set of chemicals and pharmaceutical compounds, and also of toxicity criteria, tested to enlarge the database of the validated EST as part of the Work Package III of the ReProTect Project funded within the 6th Framework Programme of the European Union. To assess the performance and applicability domain of the EST we present a detailed review of the substances and their effects in the EST being nitrofen, ochratoxin A, D-penicillamine, methylazoxymethanol, lovastatin, papaverine, warfarin, β-aminopropionitrile, dinoseb, furosemide, doxylamine, pravastatin, and metoclopramide. By delineation of the molecular mechanisms of the substances we identify six categories of reasons for misclassifications. Some of these limitations might also affect other in vitro methods assessing embryotoxicity. Substances that fall into these categories need to be included in future validation sets and in validation guidelines for embryotoxicity testing. Most importantly, we suggest conceivable improvements and additions to the EST which will resolve most of the limitations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Metoclopramide is associated with variable efficacy and side effects when used in the treatment of gastroparesis. AIM To determine associations of clinical and pharmacogenetic parameters with response and side effects to metoclopramide in patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms suggestive of gastroparesis. METHODS Gastroparetic patients treated with metoclopramide were enrolled. Clinical parameters recorded were age, sex, weight, diabetic status, gastric emptying result, daily dose, effectiveness, and side effects. DNA was isolated from salivary samples; 20 single nucleotide polymorphisms were genotyped in 8 candidate genes (ABCB1, ADRA1D, CYP1A2, CYP2D6, DRD2, DRD3, HTR4, KCNH2). RESULTS One hundred gastroparetic patients treated with metoclopramide participated. Dose averaged 33±16 mg/d for 1.1±1.7 years. Responders (53 of 100 patients) were older (48±15 vs. 38±11 y; P=0.0004) and heavier (body mass index of 28±7 vs. 25±7; P=0.0125). Efficacy was associated with polymorphisms in KCNH2 (rs1805123, P=0.020) and ADRA1D (rs2236554, P=0.035) genes. Side effects, occurred in 64 patients, were more common in females (83% vs. 64%; P=0.037), nondiabetics (77% vs. 47%; P=0.004), and patients with normal gastric emptying (41% vs. 17%; P=0.015). Side effects were associated with polymorphisms in CYP2D6 (rs1080985, P=0.045; rs16947, P=0.008; rs3892097, P=0.049), KCNH2 (rs3815459, P=0.015), and serotonin 5-HT4 receptor HTR4 gene (rs9325104, P=0.026). CONCLUSIONS Side effects to metoclopramide were more common in nondiabetic patients with normal gastric emptying. Polymorphisms in CYP2D6, KCNH2, and 5-HT4 receptor HTR4 genes were associated with side effects, whereas polymorphisms in KCNH2 and ADRA1D genes were associated with clinical response. Clinical parameters and pharmacogenetic testing may be useful in identifying patients before treatment with metoclopramide to enhance efficacy and minimize side effects.

Abstract
The authors report a case of cardiac arrest in a patient receiving intravenous (IV) metoclopramide and review the pertinent literature. A 62-year-old morbidly obese female admitted for a gastric sleeve procedure, developed cardiac arrest within one minute of receiving metoclopramide 10 mg via slow intravenous (IV) injection. Bradycardia at 4 beats/min immediately appeared, progressing rapidly to asystole. Chest compressions restored vital function. Electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed ST depression indicative of myocardial injury. Following intubation, the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit. Various cardiac dysrrhythmias including supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) associated with hypertension and atrial fibrillation occurred. Following IV esmolol and metoprolol, the patient reverted to normal sinus rhythm. Repeat ECGs revealed ST depression resolution without pre-admission changes. Metoclopramide is a non-specific dopamine receptor antagonist. Seven cases of cardiac arrest and one of sinus arrest with metoclopramide were found in the literature. The metoclopramide prescribing information does not list precautions or adverse drug reactions (ADRs) related to cardiac arrest. The reaction is not dose related but may relate to the IV administration route. Coronary artery disease was the sole risk factor identified. According to Naranjo, the association was possible. Other reports of cardiac arrest, severe bradycardia, and SVT were reviewed. In one case, five separate IV doses of 10 mg metoclopramide were immediately followed by asystole repeatedly. The mechanism(s) underlying metoclopramide's cardiac arrest-inducing effects is unknown. Structural similarities to procainamide may play a role. In view of eight previous cases of cardiac arrest from metoclopramide having been reported, further elucidation of this ADR and patient monitoring is needed. Our report should alert clinicians to monitor patients and remain diligent in surveillance and reporting of bradydysrrhythmias and cardiac arrest in patients receiving metoclopramide.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether oral administration of metoclopramide or a commercially available powdered whole grapefruit (PWG) nutraceutical in combination with cyclosporine enhances systemic availability of cyclosporine in dogs. SAMPLE 8 healthy mixed-breed dogs in part 1 and 6 of these 8 dogs in part 2. PROCEDURES Cyclosporine pharmacokinetics were determined over the course of 24 hours after oral administration of cyclosporine (5 mg/kg) alone, cyclosporine with metoclopramide (0.3 to 0.5 mg/kg), cyclosporine with 2 g of PWG, or cyclosporine combined with both metoclopramide and 2 g of PWG by use of a Latin square crossover study with a 14-day washout period between treatments. Sixty days later, 6 of the 8 dogs were given 10 g of PWG followed by cyclosporine, and pharmacokinetic parameters were compared with those previously obtained after administration of cyclosporine alone. RESULTS Although metoclopramide or coadministration of metoclopramide and 2 g of PWG had no effect on the pharmacokinetic parameters of cyclosporine, compared with results for cyclosporine alone, the higher (10-g) dose of PWG resulted in 29% faster mean time to maximal plasma cyclosporine concentration, 54% larger area under the curve, and 38% lower apparent oral clearance. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Adjustment of the cyclosporine dose may not be needed when metoclopramide is coadministered orally to prevent common adverse effects of cyclosporine. Powdered whole grapefruit has the potential to reduce the required orally administered dose of cyclosporine but only when PWG is used in an amount (at least 10 g) that is currently not cost-effective.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Suboptimal treatment of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting and unsatisfactory response to antiemetic drugs cause impairment of cancer patient's daily functioning. This study was aimed to investigate the association of selected germline polymorphisms with ondansetron and metoclopramide response in Indonesian cancer patients treated with highly emetogenic chemotherapy. METHODS We enrolled 202 chemotherapy naïve patients treated with cisplatin at a dosage of ≥50 mg/m(2) as monotherapy or as combined chemotherapy. Ondansetron 8 mg and dexamethasone 8 mg intravenously were the standard antiemetic therapy for prevention of acute chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Metoclopramide 10 mg orally, three times per day as fixed prescription, was given until 5 days after chemotherapy to prevent delayed chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Primary and secondary outcomes were the occurrence of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in the acute and delayed phase. The following single-nucleotide polymorphisms were determined in ABCB1: rs1045642, rs2032582 and rs1128503; in 5-HT3B-R: rs45460698, rs4938058 and rs7943062; and in CYP2D6: rs16947 (CYP2D6 2), rs3892097 (CYP2D6 4) and rs1065852 (CYP2D6 10) using Taqman assays. RESULTS During the acute phase, 21.8 and 30.2% patients experienced Grade 3 and 4 nausea and vomiting, respectively, whereas 38.6% patients experienced nausea and/or vomiting in the delayed phase. Carriers of the CTG haplotype of the ABCB1 gene experienced Grade 3 and 4 chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting more often than other haplotypes in the delayed phase (P< 0.05). No associations were found with the 5-HT3B receptor haplotypes and CYP2D6-predicted phenotypes. CONCLUSIONS Our study shows that in Indonesian cancer patients treated with highly cytostatic emetogenic, carriership of the CTG haplotype of the ABCB1 gene is related to an increased risk of delayed chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nausea and vomiting are the most distressful side effects of cytotoxic drugs in cancer patients. Antiemetics are commonly used to reduce these side effects. However, the current antiemetic efficacy is about 70-80% in patients treated with highly-emetogenic cytotoxic drugs. One of the potential factors explaining this suboptimal response is variability in genes encoding enzymes and proteins which play a role in metabolism, transport and receptors related to antiemetic drugs. Aim of this review was to describe the pharmacology and pharmacogenetic concepts of of antiemetics in oncology. METHOD Pharmacogenetic and pharmacology studies of antiemetics in oncology published between January 1997 and February 2010 were searched in PubMed. Furthermore, related textbooks were also used for exploring the pharmacology of antiemetic drugs. The antiemetic drugs which were searched were the 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 receptor antagonists (5-HT3RAs), dopamine antagonists, corticosteroids, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, antihistamines and neurokinin-1 antagonists. RESULT The 5-HT3RAs are widely used in highly emetogenic chemotherapy in combination with dexamethasone and a neurokinin-1 antagonist, especially in acute phase. However, the dopamine antagonists and benzodiazepines were found more appropriate for use in breakthrough and anticipatory symptoms or in preventing the delayed phase of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting. The use of cannabinoids and antihistamines need further investigation. Only six articles on pharmacogenetics of the 5-HT3RAs in highly emetogenic chemotherapy are published. Specifically, these studies investigated the association of the efficacy of 5-HT3RAs and variants in the multi drug resistance 1 (MDR1) gene, 5-HT3A,B and C receptor genes and CYP2D6 gene. The pharmacogenetic studies of the other antiemetics were not found in this review. CONCLUSION It is concluded that pharmacogenetic studies with antiemetics are sparse. It is too early to implement results of pharmacogenetic association studies of antiemetic drugs in clinical practice: confirmation of early findings is required.

Abstract
Human CYP1A2 is one of the major CYPs in human liver and metabolizes a number of clinical drugs (e.g., clozapine, tacrine, tizanidine, and theophylline; n > 110), a number of procarcinogens (e.g., benzo[a]pyrene and aromatic amines), and several important endogenous compounds (e.g., steroids). CYP1A2 is subject to reversible and/or irreversible inhibition by a number of drugs, natural substances, and other compounds. The CYP1A gene cluster has been mapped on to chromosome 15q24.1, with close link between CYP1A1 and 1A2 sharing a common 5'-flanking region. The human CYP1A2 gene spans almost 7.8 kb comprising seven exons and six introns and codes a 515-residue protein with a molecular mass of 58,294 Da. The recently resolved CYP1A2 structure has a relatively compact, planar active site cavity that is highly adapted for the size and shape of its substrates. The architecture of the active site of 1A2 is characterized by multiple residues on helices F and I that constitutes two parallel substrate binding platforms on either side of the cavity. A large interindividual variability in the expression and activity of CYP1A2 has been observed, which is largely caused by genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors (e.g., smoking). CYP1A2 is primarily regulated by the aromatic hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and CYP1A2 is induced through AhR-mediated transactivation following ligand binding and nuclear translocation. Induction or inhibition of CYP1A2 may provide partial explanation for some clinical drug interactions. To date, more than 15 variant alleles and a series of subvariants of the CYP1A2 gene have been identified and some of them have been associated with altered drug clearance and response and disease susceptibility. Further studies are warranted to explore the clinical and toxicological significance of altered CYP1A2 expression and activity caused by genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors.

Abstract
Metoclopramide (MCP) is frequently used to treat gastroparesis. Previous studies have documented MCP metabolism, but systematic structural identification of metabolites has not been performed. The aim of this study was to better understand MCP metabolism in humans. For examination of in vivo metabolism, a single oral 20-mg MCP dose was administered to eight healthy male volunteers, followed by complete urine collection over 24 h. In vitro incubations were performed in human liver microsomes (HLM) to characterize metabolism via cytochromes P450 and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases and in human liver cytosol for metabolism via sulfotransferases. Urine and subcellular incubations were analyzed for MCP metabolites on a mass spectrometer with accurate mass measurement capability. Five MCP metabolites were detected in vivo, and five additional metabolites were detected in vitro. The five metabolites of MCP identified both in vitro and in vivo were an N-O-glucuronide (M1), an N-sulfate (M2), a des-ethyl metabolite (M3), a hydroxylated metabolite (M4), and an oxidative deaminated metabolite (M5). To our knowledge, metabolites M1 and M4 have not been reported previously. M2 urinary levels varied 22-fold and M3 levels varied 16-fold among eight subjects. In vitro studies in HLM revealed the following additional metabolites: two ether glucuronides (M6 and M8), possibly on the phenyl ring after oxidation, an N-glucuronide (M7), a carbamic acid (M9), and a nitro metabolite (M10). Metabolites M6 to M10 have not been reported previously. In conclusion, this study describes the identification of MCP metabolites in vivo and in vitro in humans.

Abstract
To date, the crystal structures of at least 12 human CYPs (1A2, 2A6, 2A13, 2C8, 2C9, 2D6, 2E1, 2R1, 3A4, 7A1, 8A1, and 46A1) have been determined. CYP2D6 accounts for only a small percentage of all hepatic CYPs (< 2%), but it metabolizes approximately 25% of clinically used drugs with significant polymorphisms. CYP2D6 also metabolizes procarcinogens and neurotoxins, such as 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline, and indolealkylamines. Moreover, the enzyme utilizes hydroxytryptamines and neurosteroids as endogenous substrates. Typical CYP2D6 substrates are usually lipophilic bases with an aromatic ring and a nitrogen atom, which can be protonated at physiological pH. Substrate binding is generally followed by oxidation (5-7 A) from the proposed nitrogen-Asp301 interaction. A number of homology models have been constructed to explore the structural features of CYP2D6, while antibody studies also provide useful structural information. Site-directed mutagenesis studies have demonstrated that Glu216, Asp301, Phe120, Phe481, and Phe483 play important roles in determining the binding of ligands to CYP2D6. The structure of human CYP2D6 has been recently determined and shows the characteristic CYP fold observed for other members of the CYP superfamily. The lengths and orientations of the individual secondary structural elements in the CYP2D6 structure are similar to those seen in other human CYP2 members, such as CYP2C9 and 2C8. The 2D6 structure has a well-defined active-site cavity located above the heme group with a volume of approximately 540 A(3), which is larger than equivalent cavities in CYP2A6 (260 A(3)), 1A2 (375 A(3)), and 2E1 (190 A(3)), but smaller than those in CYP3A4 (1385 A(3)) and 2C8 (1438 A(3)). Further studies are required to delineate the molecular mechanisms involved in CYP2D6 ligand interactions and their implications for drug development and clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metoclopramide is a dopamine receptor antagonist which has been used for treatment of a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms over the last thirty years. In 2009, the FDA issued a black box warning regarding long-term or high-dose use of this medication because of the risk of developing tardive dyskinesia. AIMS To review the mechanism of action and pharmacokinetic properties of metoclopramide, the risk of metoclopramide-induced tardive dyskinesia, potential mechanisms that may alter and to summarize the clinical context for appropriate use of the drug. METHODS We conducted a PubMed search using the following key words and combined searches: metoclopramide, neuroleptics, tardive dyskinesia, incidence, prevalence, dopamine, receptors, pharmacokinetic, pharmacology, pharmacogenetics, DRD3 Ser9Gly polymorphism, cytochrome P450, p-glycoprotein, risk factors, gastroparesis, outcome, natural history. RESULTS Available data show that risk of tardive dyskinesia from metoclopramide use is likely to be <1%, much less than the estimated 1-10% risk previously suggested in national guidelines. Tardive dyskinesia may represent an idiosyncratic response to metoclopramide; pharmacogenetics affect pharmacokinetic and dopamine receptor pharmacodynamics in response to neuroleptic agents that cause similar neurological complications. CONCLUSION Community prevalence and pharmacogenetic mechanisms involved in metoclopramide-induced tardive dyskinesia require further study to define the benefit-risk ratio more clearly.
