Abstract
Drug metabolism is a major determinant of drug concentrations in the body. Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) caused by the co-administration of multiple drugs can lead to alteration in the exposure of the victim drug, raising safety or effectiveness concerns. Assessment of the DDI potential starts with in vitro experiments to determine kinetic parameters and identify risks associated with the use of comedication that can inform future clinical studies. The diverse range of experimental models and techniques has significantly contributed to the examination of potential DDIs. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are responsible for the biotransformation of many drugs on the market, making them frequently implicated in drug metabolism and DDIs. Consequently, there has been a growing focus on the assessment of DDI risk for CYPs. This review article provides mechanistic insights underlying CYP inhibition/induction and an overview of the in vitro assessment of CYP-mediated DDIs.

Di L. Recent advances in measurement of metabolic clearance, metabolite profile and reaction phenotyping of low clearance compounds. Expert Opin Drug Discov 2023; 18:1209-1219.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Low metabolic clearance is usually a highly desirable property of drug candidates in order to reduce dose and dosing frequency. However, measurement of low clearance can be challenging in drug discovery. A number of new tools have recently been developed to address the gaps in the measurement of intrinsic clearance, identification of metabolites, and reaction phenotyping of low clearance compounds. AREAS COVERED The new methodologies of low clearance measurements are discussed, including the hepatocyte relay, HepatoPac®, HμREL®, and spheroid systems. In addition, metabolite formation rate determination and in vivo allometric scaling approaches are covered as alternative methods for low clearance measurements. With these new methods, measurement of ~ 20-fold lower limit of intrinsic clearance can be achieved. The advantages and limitations of each approach are highlighted. EXPERT OPINION Although several novel methods have been developed in recent years to address the challenges of low clearance, these assays tend to be time and labor intensive and costly. Future innovations focusing on developing systems with high enzymatic activities, ultra-sensitive universal quantifiable detectors, and artificial intelligence will further enhance our ability to explore the low clearance space.

Defining the Selectivity of Chemical Inhibitors Used for Cytochrome P450 Reaction Phenotyping: Overcoming Selectivity Limitations with a Six-Parameter Inhibition Curve-Fitting Approach. Drug Metab Dispos 2022; 50:DMD-AR-2022-000884. [PMID: 35777846 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.122.000884] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2022] [Revised: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 06/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
The utility of chemical inhibitors in cytochrome P450 (CYP) reaction phenotyping is highly dependent on their selectivity and potency for their target CYP isoforms. In the present study, seventeen inhibitors of CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4/5 commonly used in reaction phenotyping were evaluated for their cross-enzyme selectivity in pooled human liver microsomes. The data were evaluated using a statistical desirability analysis to identify (1) inhibitors of superior selectivity for reaction phenotyping and (2) optimal concentrations for each. Among the inhibitors evaluated, α-naphthoflavone, furafylline, sulfaphenazole, tienilic acid, N-benzylnirvanol, and quinidine were most selective, such that their respective target enzymes were inhibited by ~95% without inhibiting any other CYP enzyme by more than 10%. Other commonly employed inhibitors, such as ketoconazole and montelukast, among others, were of insufficient selectivity to yield a concentration that could adequately inhibit their target enzymes without affecting other CYP enzymes. To overcome these shortcomings, an experimental design was developed wherein dose response data from a densely sampled multi-concentration inhibition curve are analyzed by a six-parameter inhibition curve function, allowing accounting of the inhibition of off-target CYP isoforms inhibition and more reliable determination of maximum targeted enzyme inhibition. The approach was exemplified using rosiglitazone N-demethylation, catalyzed by both CYP2C8 and 3A4, and was able to discern the off-target inhibition by ketoconazole and montelukast from the inhibition of the targeted enzyme. This methodology yields more accurate estimates of CYP contributions in reaction phenotyping. Significance Statement Isoform-selective chemical inhibitors are important tools for identifying and quantifying enzyme contributions as part of a CYP reaction phenotyping assessment for projecting drug-drug interactions. However, currently employed practices fail to adequately compensate for shortcomings in inhibitor selectivity and the resulting confounding impact on estimates of the CYP enzyme contribution to drug clearance. In this report, we describe a detailed IC50 study design with 6-parameter modeling approach that yields more accurate estimates of enzyme contribution.

An improved method for cytochrome p450 reaction phenotyping using a sequential qualitative-then-quantitative approach. Drug Metab Dispos 2022; 50:DMD-AR-2022-000883. [PMID: 35777845 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.122.000883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2022] [Revised: 05/08/2022] [Accepted: 05/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Cytochrome P450 reaction phenotyping to determine the fraction of metabolism values (fm) for individual enzymes is a standard study in the evaluation of a new drug. However, there are technical challenges in these studies caused by shortcomings in the selectivity of P450 inhibitors and unreliable scaling procedures for recombinant P450 (rCYP) data. In this investigation, a two-step "qualitative-then-quantitative" approach to P450 reaction phenotyping is described. In the first step, each rCYP is tested qualitatively for potential to generate metabolites. In the second step, selective inhibitors for the P450s identified in step1 are tested for their effects on metabolism using full inhibition curves. Forty-eight drugs were evaluated in step 1 and there were no examples of missing an enzyme important to in vivo clearance. Five drugs (escitalopram, fluvastatin, pioglitazone, propranolol, and risperidone) were selected for full phenotyping in step2 to determine fm values, with findings compared to fm values estimated from single inhibitor concentration data and rCYP with intersystem-extrapolation-factor corrections. The two-step approach yielded fm values for major drug clearing enzymes that are close to those estimated from clinical data: escitalopram and CYP2C19 (0.42 vs 0.36-0.82), fluvastatin and CYP2C9 (0.76 vs 0.76), pioglitazone and CYP2C8 (0.72 vs 0.73), propranolol and CYP2D6 (0.68 vs 0.37-0.56) and risperidone and CYP2D6 (0.60 vs 0.66-0.88). Reaction phenotyping data generated in this fashion should offer better input to physiologically-based pharmacokinetic models for prediction of DDI and impact of genetic polymorphisms on drug clearance. The qualitative-then-quantitative approach is proposed as a replacement to standard reaction phenotyping strategies. Significance Statement P450 reaction phenotyping is important for projecting drug-drug interactions and interpatient variability in drug exposure. However, currently recommended practices can frequently fail to provide reliable estimates of the fractional contributions of specific P450 enzymes (fm) to drug clearance. In this report, we describe a two-step qualitative-then-quantitative reaction phenotyping approach that yields more accurate estimates of fm.

[PMID: 34903590 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.121.000758] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2021] [Accepted: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
The use of intersystem extrapolation factors (ISEF) is required for the quantitative scaling of drug metabolism data generated in individually expressed cytochrome P450 enzymes when estimating fractional contribution to metabolism by P450 enzymes in vivo (fm,CYP). For successful prediction of fm, ISEF values must be universal across all substrates for any individual enzyme. In this study, ISEF values were generated for ten CYP3A4 selective substrates using a common source of recombinant heterologously expressed CYP3A4 and a pool of human liver microsomes. The resulting ISEF values for CYP3A4 were substrate-dependent and ranged 8-fold, with the highest value generated from intrinsic clearance of midazolam depletion (0.36) and the lowest from quinidine depletion (0.044). Application of these ISEF values for estimation of the fractional contribution of CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 to omeprazole clearance yielded values that ranged from 0.21-0.63 and 0.37-0.79, respectively, as compared to back-extrapolated in vivo fm values of 0.27 (CYP3A4) and 0.85 (CYP2C19) from clinical pharmacokinetic data. For risperidone, estimated fm values for CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 ranged from 0.87-0.98 and 0.02-0.13, respectively, as compared to in vivo values of 0.36 (CYP3A4) and 0.63-0.88 (CYP2D6), showing that the importance of CYP3A4 was over-estimated and the importance of CYP2D6 under-estimated. Overall, these findings suggest that ISEF values for CYP3A4 can vary with the marker substrate used to derive them, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the approach of using metabolism data from rCYP3A4 with ISEF values for the prediction of fm values in vivo. Significance Statement Intersystem extrapolation factors (ISEF) are utilized for assigning fractional contributions of individual enzymes to drug clearance (fm) from drug metabolism data generated in recombinant P450s. The present data shows that ISEF values for cytochrome P4503A4 vary with the substrate. This can lead to variable and erroneous prediction of fm.

Abstract
Assessment of drug candidate's potential to inhibit cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes remains crucial in pharmaceutical drug discovery and development. Both direct and time-dependent inhibition of drug metabolizing CYP enzymes by the concomitant administered drug is the leading cause of drug-drug interactions (DDIs), resulting in the increased toxicity of the victim drug. In this context, pharmaceutical companies have grown increasingly diligent in limiting CYP inhibition liabilities of drug candidates in the early stages and examining risk assessments throughout the drug development process. This review discusses different strategies and decision-making processes for assessing the drug-drug interaction risks by enzyme inhibition and lays particular emphasis on in vitro study designs and interpretation of CYP inhibition data in a stage-appropriate context.

Abstract
The potential for drug-drug interactions (DDI) of EST73502 was preliminary explored in vitro. EST73502 is a new chemical entity intended for oral pain treatment with dual sigma-1 receptor (σ1R) antagonism and μ-opioid receptor (MOR) partial agonism, that presents a promising potent analgesic activity.Several enzymes were involved in EST73502 metabolism catalysing the formation of different metabolites, CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 being the main ones.Fraction unbound was determined due to its impact in interactions, a considerable proportion of EST73502 being available.EST73502 showed a low potential for CYP inhibition, except for CYP2D6 that showed time-dependent inhibition.No induction potential was found for CYP1A2 and 3A4, while CYP2B6 was induced at high concentration.EST73502 seemed to be a potential efflux transporter substrate (efflux ratio ≥ 2) but a negligible in vivo impact would be expected due to its high solubility and permeability in Caco-2 cells. P-gp inhibition was observed while no BCRP inhibition was detected.Preliminary in vitro interaction studies suggested that neither CYPs nor efflux transporters interactions would preclude further development of EST73502 to thoroughly assess the clinical relevance of these findings.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Withanone (WN), an active constituent of Withania somnifera commonly called Ashwagandha has remarkable pharmacological responses along with neurological activities. However, for a better understanding of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic behavior of WN, a comprehensive in-vitro ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) studies are necessary. AIM OF THE STUDY A precise, accurate, and sensitive reverse-phase ultra-performance liquid chromatographic method of WN was developed and validated in rat plasma for the first time. The developed method was successfully applied to the in-vitro ADME investigation of WN. MATERIAL AND METHODS The passive permeability of WN was assayed using PAMPA plates and the plasma protein binding (PPB) was performed using the equilibrium dialysis method. Pooled liver microsomes of rat (RLM) and human (HLM) were used for the microsomal stability, CYP phenotyping, and inhibition studies. CYP phenotyping was evaluated using the specific inhibitors. CYP inhibition study was performed using specific probe substrates along with WN or specific inhibitors. RESULTS WN was found to be stable in the simulated gastric and intestinal environment and has a high passive permeability at pH 4.0 and 7.0 in PAMPA assay. The PPB of WN at 5 and 20 μg/mL concentrations were found to be high i.e. 82.01 ± 1.44 and 88.02 ± 1.15%, respectively. The in vitro half-life of WN in RLM and HLM was found to be 59.63 ± 2.50 and 68.42 ± 2.19 min, respectively. CYP phenotyping results showed that WN was extensively metabolized by CYP 3A4 and1A2 enzymes in RLM and HLM. However, the results of CYP Inhibition studies showed that none of the CYP isoenzymes were potentially inhibited by WN in RLM and HLM. CONCLUSION The in vitro results of pH-dependent stability, plasma stability, permeability, PPB, blood partitioning, microsomal stability, CYP phenotyping, and CYP inhibition studies demonstrated that WN could be a better phytochemical for neurological disorders.

Abstract
Abstract
This project originated more than 15 years ago with the intent to produce a glossary of drug metabolism terms having definitions especially applicable for use by practicing medicinal chemists. A first-draft version underwent extensive beta-testing that, fortuitously, engaged international audiences in a wide range of disciplines involved in drug discovery and development. It became clear that the inclusion of information to enhance discussions among this mix of participants would be even more valuable. The present version retains a chemical structure theme while expanding tutorial comments that aim to bridge the various perspectives that may arise during interdisciplinary communications about a given term. This glossary is intended to be educational for early stage researchers, as well as useful for investigators at various levels who participate on today’s highly multidisciplinary, collaborative small molecule drug discovery teams.

Metabolic study of GW1516 in equine urine using liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization Q-Exactive high-resolution mass spectrometry for doping control. RAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY : RCM 2021; 35:e9028. [PMID: 33319421 DOI: 10.1002/rcm.9028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2020] [Revised: 12/11/2020] [Accepted: 12/12/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
RATIONALE The use of GW1516, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ (PPAR δ) agonist, is strictly prohibited in both horseracing and equestrian competitions. However, little is known about its metabolic fate in horses. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported metabolic study of GW1516 in equine urine. METHODS Urine samples obtained from a thoroughbred after nasoesophageal administration with GW1516 were protein-precipitated and the supernatants were subsequently analyzed by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-HRMS) with a Q-Exactive mass spectrometer. Monoisotopic ions of GW1516 and its metabolites were monitored from the full-scan mass spectral data of pre- and post-administration samples. A quantification method was developed and validated to establish the excretion profiles of GW1516, its sulfoxide, and its sulfone in equine urine. RESULTS GW1516 and its nine metabolites [including GW1516 sulfoxide, GW1516 sulfone, 5-(hydroxymethyl)-4-methyl-2-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)thiazole (HMTT), methyl 4-methyl-2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxylate (MMTC), 4-methyl-2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid (MTTC), and M1 to M4] were detected in post-administration urine samples. GW1516 sulfoxide and GW1516 sulfone showed the longest detection times in post-administration urine samples and were therefore recommended as potential screening targets for doping control purposes. Quantitative analysis was also conducted to establish the excretion profiles of GW1516 sulfoxide and GW1516 sulfone in urine. CONCLUSIONS For the purposes of doping control of GW1516, the GW1516 sulfoxide and GW1516 sulfone metabolites are recommended as the target analytes to be monitored in equine urine due to their high specificities, long detection times (1 and 4 weeks, respectively), and the ready availability of their reference materials.

Risk assessment of the chiral pesticide fenamiphos in a human model: Cytochrome P450 phenotyping and inhibition studies. Food Chem Toxicol 2020; 146:111826. [PMID: 33127494 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2020.111826] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2020] [Revised: 10/15/2020] [Accepted: 10/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Fenamiphos (FS) is a chiral organophosphate pesticide that is used to control nematodes in several crops. Enantioselective differences may be observed in FS activity, bioaccumulation, metabolism, and toxicity. Humans may be exposed to FS through occupational and chronic (food, water, and environmental) exposure. FS may cause undesirable CYP450 pesticide-drug interactions, which may impact human health. Here, the CYP450 isoforms involved in enantioselective FS metabolism were identified, and CYP450 inhibition by rac-FS, (+)-FS, and (-)-FS was evaluated to obtain reliable information on enantioselective FS risk assessment in humans. CYP3A4 and CYP2E1 metabolized FS enantiomers, and CYP2B6 may participate in rac-FS metabolism. In addition, rac-FS, (+)-FS, and (-)-FS were reversible competitive CYP1A2, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4/5 inhibitors. High stereoselective inhibition potential was verified; rac-FS and (-)-FS strongly inhibited and (+)-FS moderately inhibited CYP1A2. Stereoselective differences were also detected for CYP2C19 and CYP3A4/5, which were strongly inhibited by rac-FS, (+)-FS, and (-)-FS. Our results indicated a high potential for CYP450 drug-pesticide interactions, which may affect human health. The lack of stereoselective research on the effect of chiral pesticides on the activity of CYP450 isoforms highlights the importance of assessing the risks of such pesticides in humans.

Abstract
Loureirin B (LB) is the marker compound of dragon blood (DB), which exhibits great potentials in protecting astronauts' health against radiation and simulated microgravity (SM). Pharmacokinetics of LB is reported to be significantly altered by SM. Here, we investigated key metabolic features of LB in rat liver microsome (RLM) and the effects of SM on LB metabolism as well as on expression of major hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP450) isoforms. Ten metabolites were tentatively identified based on fragmentation pathways using LC-MS/MS method and elimination kinetics of LB followed a typical Michaelis-Menten equation (V max was 1.32 μg/min/mg and K m was 13.33 μg/mL). CYP1A2, CYP2C11, CYP2D1, and CYP3A2 were involved in the metabolism of LB and the relative strength was: CYP3A2 > CYP2C11 > CYP2D1 > CYP1A2. Comparative studies suggested that elimination of LB in RLM was remarkably increased by 3-day and 14-day SM, and the generation of identified metabolites was affected as well. Additionally, 3-day and 14-day SM showed obvious regulatory effects on the expression of major CYP450 isoforms, which might contribute to the increased elimination of LB. The data provided supports for the application of DB as a protective agent and the reasonable use of current medications metabolized by hepatic CYP450 in space missions.

Eur J Clin Pharmacol 2017; 74:455-464. [PMID: 29273968 PMCID: PMC5849655 DOI: 10.1007/s00228-017-2404-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2017] [Accepted: 12/12/2017] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Purpose The purpose of the study is to investigate the enzyme(s) responsible for siponimod metabolism and to predict the inhibitory effects of fluconazole as well as the impact of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 genetic polymorphism on siponimod pharmacokinetics (PK) and metabolism. Methods In vitro metabolism studies were conducted using human liver microsomes (HLM), and enzyme phenotyping was assessed using a correlation analysis method. SimCYP, a physiologically based PK model, was developed and used to predict the effects of fluconazole and CYP2C9 genetic polymorphism on siponimod metabolism. Primary PK parameters were generated using the SimCYP and WinNonlin software. Results Correlation analysis suggested that CYP2C9 is the main enzyme responsible for siponimod metabolism in humans. Compared with the CYP2C9*1/*1 genotype, HLM incubations from CYP2C9*3/*3 and CYP2C9*2/*2 donors showed ~ 10- and 3-fold decrease in siponimod metabolism, respectively. Simulations of enzyme contribution predicted that in the CYP2C9*1/*1 genotype, CYP2C9 is predominantly responsible for siponimod metabolism (~ 81%), whereas in the CYP2C9*3/*3 genotype, its contribution is reduced to 11%. The predicted exposure increase of siponimod with fluconazole 200 mg was 2.0–2.4-fold for CYP2C9*1/*1 genotype. In context of single dosing, the predicted mean area under the curve (AUC) is 2.7-, 3.0- and 4.5-fold higher in the CYP2C9*2/*2, CYP2C9*2/*3 and CYP2C9*3/*3 genotypes, respectively, compared with the CYP2C9*1/*1 genotype. Conclusion .Enzyme phenotyping with correlation analysis confirmed the predominant role of CYP2C9 in the biotransformation of siponimod and demonstrated the functional consequence of CYP2C9 genetic polymorphism on siponimod metabolism. Simulation of fluconazole inhibition closely predicted a 2-fold AUC change (ratio within ~ 20% deviation) to the observed value. In silico simulation predicted a significant reduction in siponimod clearance in the CYP2C9*2/*2 and CYP2C9*3/*3 genotypes based on the in vitro metabolism data; the predicted exposure was close (within 30%) to the observed results for the CYP2C9*2/*3 and CYP2C9*3/*3 genotypes.

Abstract
Pharmacogenomics (PGx), a substantial component of "personalized medicine", seeks to understand each individual's genetic composition to optimize drug therapy -- maximizing beneficial drug response, while minimizing adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Drug responses are highly variable because innumerable factors contribute to ultimate phenotypic outcomes. Recent genome-wide PGx studies have provided some insight into genetic basis of variability in drug response. These can be grouped into three categories. [a] Monogenic (Mendelian) traits include early examples mostly of inherited disorders, and some severe (idiosyncratic) ADRs typically influenced by single rare coding variants. [b] Predominantly oligogenic traits represent variation largely influenced by a small number of major pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic genes. [c] Complex PGx traits resemble most multifactorial quantitative traits -- influenced by numerous small-effect variants, together with epigenetic effects and environmental factors. Prediction of monogenic drug responses is relatively simple, involving detection of underlying mutations; due to rarity of these events and incomplete penetrance, however, prospective tests based on genotype will have high false-positive rates, plus pharmacoeconomics will require justification. Prediction of predominantly oligogenic traits is slowly improving. Although a substantial fraction of variation can be explained by limited numbers of large-effect genetic variants, uncertainty in successful predictions and overall cost-benefit ratios will make such tests elusive for everyday clinical use. Prediction of complex PGx traits is almost impossible in the foreseeable future. Genome-wide association studies of large cohorts will continue to discover relevant genetic variants; however, these small-effect variants, combined, explain only a small fraction of phenotypic variance -- thus having limited predictive power and clinical utility.

Abstract
Using oxygen and NADPH, the redox enzymes cytochrome P450 (CYP) and its reductase (CPR) work in tandem to carry out the phase I metabolism of a vast majority of drugs and xenobiotics. As per the erstwhile understanding of the catalytic cycle, binding of the substrate to CYP's heme distal pocket allows CPR to pump electrons through a CPR-CYP complex. In turn, this trigger (a thermodynamic push of electrons) leads to the activation of oxygen at CYP's heme-center, to give Compound I, a two-electron deficient enzyme reactive intermediate. The formation of diffusible radicals and reactive oxygen species (DROS, hitherto considered an undesired facet of the system) was attributed to the heme-center. Recently, we had challenged these perceptions and proposed the murburn ("mured burning" or "mild unrestricted burning") concept to explain heme enzymes' catalytic mechanism, electron-transfer phenomena and the regulation of redox equivalents' consumption. Murburn concept incorporates a one-electron paradigm, advocating obligatory roles for DROS. The new understanding does not call for high-affinity substrate-binding at the heme distal pocket of the CYP (the first and the most crucial step of the erstwhile paradigm) or CYP-CPR protein-protein complexations (the operational backbone of the erstwhile cycle). Herein, the dynamics of reduced nicotinamide nucleotides' consumption, peroxide formation and depletion, product(s) formation, etc. was investigated with various controls, by altering reaction variables, environments and through the incorporation of diverse molecular probes. In several CYP systems, control reactions lacking the specific substrate showed comparable or higher peroxide in milieu, thereby discrediting the foundations of the erstwhile hypothesis. The profiles obtained by altering CYP:CPR ratios and the profound inhibitions observed upon the incorporation of catalytic amounts of horseradish peroxidase confirm the obligatory roles of DROS in milieu, ratifying murburn as the operative concept. The mechanism of uncoupling (peroxide/water formation) was found to be dependent on multiple one and two electron equilibriums amongst the reaction components. The investigation explains the evolutionary implications of xenobiotic metabolism, confirms the obligatory role of diffusible reactive species in routine redox metabolism within liver microsomes and establishes that a redox enzyme like CYP enhances reaction rates (achieves catalysis) via a novel (hitherto unknown) modality.

Abstract
RATIONALE Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) reaction phenotyping (CRP) and kinetic studies are essential in early drug discovery to determine which metabolic enzymes react with new drug entities. A new semi-automated computer-assisted workflow for CRP is introduced in this work. This workflow provides not only information regarding parent disappearance, but also metabolite identification and relative metabolite formation rates for kinetic analysis. METHODS Time-course experiments based on incubating six probe substrates (dextromethorphan, imipramine, buspirone, midazolam, ethoxyresorufin and diclofenac) with recombinant human enzymes (CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4) and human liver microsomes (HLM) were performed. Liquid chromatography/high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC/HRMS) analysis was conducted with an internal standard to obtain high-resolution full-scan and MS/MS data. Data were analyzed using Mass-MetaSite software. A server application (WebMetabase) was used for data visualization and review. RESULTS CRP experiments were performed, and the data were analyzed using a software-aided approach. This automated-evaluation approach led to (1) the detection of the CYP450 enzymes responsible for both substrate depletion and metabolite formation, (2) the identification of specific biotransformations, (3) the elucidation of metabolite structures based on MS/MS fragment analysis, and (4) the determination of the initial relative formation rates of major metabolites by CYP450 enzymes. CONCLUSIONS This largely automated workflow enabled the efficient analysis of HRMS data, allowing rapid evaluation of the involvement of the main CYP450 enzymes in the metabolism of new molecules during drug discovery.

Abstract
CDRI S006-830 is a potent triethylamine containing thiophene antitubercular compound of the Central Drug Research Institute, India. The present study aimed to conduct comprehensive metabolic investigations of CDRI S006-830 to corroborate its preclinical investigations. Preliminary metabolic investigations were performed to assess the metabolic stability, enzyme kinetics, reaction phenotyping, and metabolite identification of CDRI S006-830 in rat, rabbit, dog, and human liver microsomes using liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry. The observed in vitro t1/2 and Clint values were 9.9 ± 1.29, 4.5 ± 0.52, 4.5 ± 0.86, 17 ± 5.21 min and 69.60 ± 8.37, 152.0 ± 17.26, 152.34 ± 27.63, 33.62 ± 21.04 μL/min/mg in rat, rabbit, dog and human liver microsomes respectively. These observations suggested that CDRI S006-830 rapidly metabolized in the presence of NADPH in liver microsomes of rat, rabbit and dog while moderately metabolized in human liver microsomes. It was observed that CDRI S006-830 exhibited monophasic Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The metabolism of CDRI S006-830 was primarily mediated by CYP3A4 and was deduced by CYP reaction phenotyping with known potent inhibitors. CYP3A4 involvement was also confirmed by cDNA-expressed recombinant human isozyme activity with different CYPs. Four major phase-I metabolites of S006-830, (M-1 to M-4) were detected in rat, rabbit, dog (except M4) and human liver microsomes.

Abstract
Vinblastine is a vinca alkaloid used either as a single agent or in combination therapy for the treatment of canine mast cell tumours and lymphomas. The objective of this study was to determine which isoform of cytochrome P450 enzyme is responsible for the majority of vinblastine metabolism in dogs. A panel of eight recombinant canine cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP3A12, CYP3A26, CYP2B11, CYP2C41, CYP2C21 and CYP2D15) were incubated in vitro with vinblastine. Findings were confirmed by the use of canine polyclonal antibodies of cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP1A1, CYP3A12, CYP2B11 and CYP2C21) that were pre-incubated with individual and pooled hepatic microsomes that were purified from canine liver. Substrate depletion was observed in the presence of recombinant CYP3A12, whereas depletion did not substantially occur when microsomes were pre-incubated with polyclonal antibodies against CYP3A12. These findings confirmed that CYP3A12 is the major cytochrome P450 isoform responsible for the metabolism of vinblastine in dogs.

RAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY : RCM 2013; 27:1183-1195. [PMID: 23650031 DOI: 10.1002/rcm.6559] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2012] [Revised: 02/27/2013] [Accepted: 02/28/2013] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
RATIONALE HM781-36B (1-[4-[4-(3,4-dichloro-2-fluorophenylamino)-7-methoxyquinazolin-6-yloxy]-piperidin-1-yl]prop-2-en-1-one hydrochloride) is a new anticancer drug to treat advanced solid tumors in clinical trial. In order to understand the behavior of HM781-36B in vitro and in vivo we validated an analytical method for HM781-36B and its major metabolites in plasma. METHODS In vivo and in vitro metabolism of HM781-36B was studied in dog plasma, urine and feces as well as using human and dog liver microsomes with extraction by ethyl acetate or methyl tert-butyl ether, respectively, and successfully separated by high-performance liquid chromatography diode-array detection mass spectrometry (HPLC-DAD/MS). Ten metabolites were identified by LC/ESI-ion trap mass spectrometry (MS, MS(2) , MS(3) and MRM) and LC/Q-TOF-MS/MS for exact mass measurement. For accurate characterization of the major metabolites, authentic standards (M1, M2, M4, and M10) were synthesized. RESULTS Ten metabolites of HM781-36B in an in vitro mixture were separated and identified by LC/ESI-MS(n) . The MS/MS spectral patterns of the parent drug and metabolites exhibited two characteristic ions (A- and B-type ions) attributed to the cleavage of the ether bond between the piperidine ring and the quinazoline ring, providing important information on the site of chemical conversion during the metabolism. Six hydroxylated derivatives including dehalogenation and demethylation, two N-oxide forms, a demethylated form and de-acryloylpiperideine metabolites were observed. CONCLUSIONS The LC/ESI-ion trap MS(n) technique was effective in obtaining structural information and yielded diagnostic ions for the identification of diverse metabolites. The multiple metabolic pathways of HM781-36B were suggested in in vitro and in vivo samples and the dihydroxylation (M1) and demethylation (M2) appeared to be the major metabolites.

Abstract
Susceptibility to metabolism is a common issue with the tert-butyl group on compounds of medicinal interest. We demonstrate an approach of removing all the fully sp(3) C-Hs from a tert-butyl group: replacing some C-Hs with C-Fs and increasing the s-character of the remaining C-Hs. This approach gave a trifluoromethylcyclopropyl group, which increased metabolic stability. Trifluoromethylcyclopropyl-containing analogues had consistently higher metabolic stability in vitro and in vivo compared to their tert-butyl-containing counterparts.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cytochromes P450 (CYPs) play a central role in the Phase I metabolism of drugs and other xenobiotics. It is estimated that CYPs can metabolize up to two-thirds of drugs present in humans. Over the past two decades, there have been numerous advances in in vitro methodologies to characterize drug metabolism and interaction involving CYPs. AREAS COVERED This review focuses on the use of in vitro methodologies to examine CYPs' role in drug metabolism and interaction. There is an emphasis on their current development, applicability, advantages and limitations as well as the use of in silico approaches in complementing and supporting in vitro data. The article also highlights the challenges in extrapolating in vitro data to in vivo situations. EXPERT OPINION Advances in in vitro methodologies have been made such that data can be used for in vivo prediction with comfortable degree of confidence. Improved assay designs and analytical techniques have permitted development of miniaturized assay format and automated system with improved sensitivity and throughput capacity. High-quality experimental designs and scientifically rigorous assessment/validation protocols remain crucial in developing reliable and robust in vitro models. With continued progress made in the field, in vitro methodologies will continually be employed in evaluating CYP activities in pharmaceutical industries and laboratories.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies are reagents par excellence for analyzing the role of individual cytochrome P450 isoforms in multifunctional biological activities catalyzed by cytochrome P450 enzymes. The precision and utility of the monoclonal antibodies have heretofore been applied primarily to studies of human drug metabolism. The unique and precise specificity and high inhibitory activity toward individual cytochrome P450s make the monoclonal antibodies extraordinary tools for identifying and quantifying the role of each P450 isoform in the metabolism of a drug or nondrug xenobiotic. The monoclonal antibodies identify drugs metabolized by individual, several, or polymorphic P450s. A comprehensive collection of monoclonal antibodies has been isolated to human P450s: 1A1, 1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C family, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, 3A4/5, and 2J2. The monoclonal antibodies can also be used for identifying drugs and/or metabolites useful as markers for in vivo phenotyping. Clinical identification of a patient's phenotype, coupled with precise knowledge of a drug's metabolism, should lead to a reduction of adverse drug reactions and improved drug therapeutics, thereby promoting advances in drug discovery.

Abstract
'It is better to be useful than perfect'. This review attempts to critically cover and assess the currently available approaches and tools to answer the crucial question: Is it possible (and if it is, to what extent is it possible) to predict in vivo metabolites and their abundances on the basis of in vitro and preclinical animal studies? In preclinical drug development, it is possible to produce metabolite patterns from a candidate drug by virtual means (i.e., in silico models), but these are not yet validated. However, they may be useful to cover the potential range of metabolites. In vitro metabolite patterns and apparent relative abundances are produced by various in vitro systems employing tissue preparations (mainly liver) and in most cases using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analytical techniques for tentative identification. The pattern of the metabolites produced depends on the enzyme source; the most comprehensive source of drug-metabolizing enzymes is cultured human hepatocytes, followed by liver homogenate fortified with appropriate cofactors. For specific purposes, such as the identification of metabolizing enzyme(s), recombinant enzymes can be used. Metabolite data from animal in vitro and in vivo experiments, despite known species differences, may help pinpoint metabolites that are not apparently produced in in vitro human systems, or suggest alternative experimental approaches. The range of metabolites detected provides clues regarding the enzymes attacking the molecule under study. We also discuss established approaches to identify the major enzymes. The last question, regarding reliability and robustness of metabolite extrapolations from in vitro to in vivo, both qualitatively and quantitatively, cannot be easily answered. There are a number of examples in the literature suggesting that extrapolations are generally useful, but there are only a few systematic and comprehensive studies to validate in vitro-in vivo extrapolations. In conclusion, extrapolation from preclinical metabolite data to the in vivo situation is certainly useful, but it is not known to what extent.

Abstract
Background Berberine (BBR) is a drug with multiple effects on cellular energy metabolism. The present study explored answers to the question of which CYP450 (Cytochrome P450) isoenzymes execute the phase-I transformation for BBR, and what are the bioactivities of its metabolites on energy pathways. Methods BBR metabolites were detected using LC-MS/MS. Computer-assistant docking technology as well as bioassays with recombinant CYP450s were employed to identify CYP450 isoenzymes responsible for BBR phase-I transformation. Bioactivities of BBR metabolites in liver cells were examined with real time RT-PCR and kinase phosphorylation assay. Results In rat experiments, 4 major metabolites of BBR, berberrubine (M1), thalifendine (M2), demethyleneberberine (M3) and jatrorrhizine (M4) were identified in rat's livers using LC-MS/MS (liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry). In the cell-free transformation reactions, M2 and M3 were detectable after incubating BBR with rCYP450s or human liver microsomes; however, M1 and M4 were below detective level. CYP2D6 and CYP1A2 played a major role in transforming BBR into M2; CYP2D6, CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 were for M3 production. The hepatocyte culture showed that BBR was active in enhancing the expression of insulin receptor (InsR) and low-density-lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) mRNA, as well as in activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). BBR's metabolites, M1-M4, remained to be active in up-regulating InsR expression with a potency reduced by 50-70%; LDLR mRNA was increased only by M1 or M2 (but not M3 and M4) with an activity level 35% or 26% of that of BBR, respectively. Similarly, AMPK-α phosphorylation was enhanced by M1 and M2 only, with a degree less than that of BBR. Conclusions Four major BBR metabolites (M1-M4) were identified after phase-I transformation in rat liver. Cell-free reactions showed that CYP2D6, CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 seemed to be the dominant CYP450 isoenzymes transforming BBR into its metabolites M2 and M3. BBR's metabolites remained to be active on BBR's targets (InsR, LDLR, and AMPK) but with reduced potency.

Abstract
The majority of marketed small-molecule drugs undergo metabolism by hepatic Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes (Rendic 2002). Since these enzymes metabolize a structurally diverse number of drugs, metabolism-based drug-drug interactions (DDIs) can potentially occur when multiple drugs are coadministered to patients. Thus, a careful in vitro assessment of the contribution of various CYP isoforms to the total metabolism is important for predicting whether such DDIs might take place. One method of CYP phenotyping involves the use of potent and selective chemical inhibitors in human liver microsomal incubations in the presence of a test compound. The selectivity of such inhibitors plays a critical role in deciphering the involvement of specific CYP isoforms. Here, we review published data on the potency and selectivity of chemical inhibitors of the major human hepatic CYP isoforms. The most selective inhibitors available are furafylline (in co-incubation and pre-incubation conditions) for CYP1A2, 2-phenyl-2-(1-piperidinyl)propane (PPP) for CYP2B6, montelukast for CYP2C8, sulfaphenazole for CYP2C9, (-)-N-3-benzyl-phenobarbital for CYP2C19 and quinidine for CYP2D6. As for CYP2A6, tranylcypromine is the most widely used inhibitor, but on the basis of initial studies, either 3-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)methanamine (PPM) and 3-(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)pyridine (MIP) can replace tranylcypromine as the most selective CYP2A6 inhibitor. For CYP3A4, ketoconazole is widely used in phenotyping studies, although azamulin is a far more selective CYP3A inhibitor. Most of the phenotyping studies do not include CYP2E1, mostly because of the limited number of new drug candidates that are metabolized by this enzyme. Among the inhibitors for this enzyme, 4-methylpyrazole appears to be selective.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (P450) is the superfamily of enzymes responsible for biotransformation of endobiotics and xenobiotics. However, their large isoform multiplicity, inducibility, diverse structure, widespread distribution, polymorphic expression, and broad overlapping substrate specificity make it difficult to measure the precise role of each individual P450 to the metabolism of drugs (or carcinogens) and hamper the understanding of the relationship between the genetic/environmental factors that regulate P450 phenotype and the responses of the individual P450s to drugs. The antibodies against P450s have been useful tools for the quantitative determination of expression level and contribution of the epitope-specific P450 to the metabolism of a drug or carcinogen substrate in tissues containing multiple P450 isoforms and for implications in pharmacogenetics and human risk assessment. In particular, the inhibitory antibodies are uniquely suited for reaction phenotyping that helps to predict human pharmacokinetics for clinical drug-drug interaction potential in drug discovery and development.

Abstract
The dramatic changes in drug metabolism research in the last 25 years are well documented in the publications of the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET). New analytical tools combined with modern molecular biological techniques have provided unprecedented access to the workings of the cell. A field that concentrated on only a handful of primary enzymes now has a list of hundreds in its purview. Genetic variation, environmental impact, and molecular diversity have all come under study in attempts to follow the fate of drugs and chemicals. Examples from ASPET journals will be used to illustrate the dramatic advancements in the field.

Abstract
It is now widely accepted that the fraction of the dose metabolized by a given drug-metabolizing enzyme is one of the major factors governing the magnitude of a drug interaction and the impact of a polymorphism on (total) drug clearance. Therefore, most pharmaceutical companies determine the enzymes involved in the metabolism of a new chemical entity (NCE) in vitro, in conjunction with human data on absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion. This so called reaction-phenotyping, or isozyme-mapping, usually involves the use of multiple reagents (e.g., recombinant proteins, liver subcellular fractions, enzyme-selective chemical inhibitors and antibodies). For the human CYPs, reagents are readily available and in vitro reaction-phenotyping data are now routinely included in most regulatory documents. Ideally, the various metabolites have been definitively identified, incubation conditions have afforded robust kinetic analyses, and well characterized (high quality) reagents and human tissues have been employed. It is also important that the various in vitro data are consistent (e.g., scaled turnover with recombinant CYP proteins, CYP inhibition and correlation data with human liver microsomes) and enable an integrated in vitro CYP reaction-phenotype. Results of the in vitro CYP reaction-phenotyping are integrated with clinical data (e.g., human radiolabel and drug interaction studies) and a complete package is then submitted for regulatory review. If the NCE receives market approval, information on key routes of clearance and their associated potential for drug-drug interactions are included in the product label. The present review focuses on in vitro CYP reaction-phenotyping and the integration of data. Relatively simple strategies enabling the design and prioritization of follow up clinical studies are also discussed.

Abstract
The relative activity factor (RAF) was used to predict the contribution of different cytochrome P-450 (CYP) 3A isoforms (3A1 and 3A2 in rat liver microsomes and 3A4 and 3A5 in human liver microsomes) to 4beta-C hydroxylation of territrem A (TRA). Seven recombinant rat and eight recombinant human CYP450 isoforms, five rat liver microsomes, and seven human liver microsomes were assessed. In liver microsomes from five male Wistar rats, TRA 4beta-C hydroxylation activity significantly correlated with CYP3A1/2 activity, while, in liver microsomes from seven humans, there was marked correlation with CYP3A4 activity. Immunoinhibition confirmed that CYP3A2 and CYP3A4 were responsible for the hepatic metabolism of TRA 4beta-C hydroxylation. Using RAF, the percent contributions of CYP3A1 and CYP3A2 to 4beta-C hydroxylation of TRA in rat liver microsomes were estimated as 5 to 6 and 94 to 96, respectively, and those of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 in human liver microsomes as 70 to 72 and 28 to 30%, respectively. These results suggest that CYP3A2 and CYP3A4 are the main form involved in the 4beta-C hydroxylation of TRA in rat and human liver microsomes.

Abstract
The mammalian skin has long been considered to be poor in drug metabolism. However, many reports clearly show that most drug metabolizing enzymes also occur in the mammalian skin albeit at relatively low specific activities. This review summarizes the current state of knowledge on drug metabolizing enzymes in the skin of human, rat, and pig, the latter, because it is often taken as a model for human skin on grounds of anatomical similarities. However only little is known about drug metabolizing enzymes in pig skin. Interestingly, some cytochromes P450 (CYP) have been observed in the rat skin which are not expressed in the rat liver, such as CYP 2B12 and CYP2D4. As far as investigated most drug metabolizing enzymes occur in the suprabasal (i.e. differentiating) layers of the epidermis, but the rat CYP1A1 rather in the basal layer and human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase rather in the stratum corneum. The pattern of drug metabolizing enzymes and their localization will impact not only the beneficial as well as detrimental properties of drugs for the skin but also dictate whether a drug reaches the blood flow unchanged or as activated or inactivated metabolite(s).

Abstract
We previously reported an ontogeny model of hepatic cytochrome P450 (P450) activity that predicts in vivo P450 elimination from in vitro intrinsic clearance. The purpose of this study was to conduct investigations into key assumptions of the P450 ontogeny model using the developing rat model system. We used two developmentally dissimilar enzymes, CYP2E1 and CYP1A2, and male rats (n = 4) at age groups representing critical developmental stages. Total body and liver weights and hepatic microsomal protein contents were measured. Following high-performance liquid chromatography analysis, apparent K(M) and V(max) estimates were calculated using nonlinear regression analysis for CYP2E1- and CYP1A2-mediated chlorzoxazone 6-hydroxylation and methoxyresorufin O-dealkylation, and V(max) estimates for p-nitrophenol and phenacetin hydroxylations, respectively. Hepatic scaling factors and V(max) values provided estimates for infant scaling factors (ISF). The data show microsomal protein contents increased with postnatal age and reached adult values after postnatal day (PD) 7. Apparent K(M) values were similar at all developmental stages except at < or =PD7. Developmental increases in probe substrate V(max) values did not correlate with the biphasic increase in immunoquantifiable P450. The activity of two different probe substrates for each P450 covaried as a function of age. A plot of observed ISF values as a function of age reflected the developmental pattern of rat hepatic P450. In summation, these observations diverge from several of the model's assumptions. Further investigations are required to explain these inconsistencies and to investigate whether the developing rat may provide a predictive paradigm for pediatric risk assessment for P450-mediated elimination processes.

Abstract
Adverse drug-drug interactions represent a major challenge for the pharmaceutical industry. Recently, in vitro approaches for the evaluation of metabolism-related drug-drug interactions have been developed. These in vitro approaches are found to be useful in the assessment of clinical drug-drug interaction potential of new chemical entities and to aid the understanding of clinically significant drug-drug interactions observed with existing drugs. The general methods for the evaluation of drug-drug interactions using in vitro, human-based experimental systems are described and critically reviewed.

Abstract
trans-Bromuconazole is a chiral chemical representative of a class of triazole derivatives known to inhibit specific fungal cytochrome P-450 (CYP) reactions. Kinetic measurements and delineation of metabolic pathways for triazole chemicals within in vitro hepatic microsomes are needed for accurate risk assessment and predictive in vivo physiological modeling. The studies described here were conducted with rat liver microsomes to determine Michaelis-Menten saturation kinetic parameters (Vmax and KM) for trans-bromuconazole using both substrate depletion and product formation reaction velocities. Kinetic parameters determined for trans-bromuconazole depletion at varying protein levels incubated at physiological temperature 37 degrees C resulted in a KM value of 1.69 microM and a Vmax value of 1398 pmol/min/mg protein. The concomitant linear formation of two metabolites identified using liquid chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC/MS-TOF) and LC-MS/MS indicated hydroxylation of the trans-bromuconazole dichlorophenyl ring moiety. KM values determined for the hydroxylated metabolites were 0.87 and 1.03 microM, with Vmax values of 449 and 694 pmol/min/mg protein, respectively. Chemical inhibition assays and studies conducted with individual purified human recombinant enzymes indicated the CYP3A subfamily was primarily responsible for biotransformation of the parent substrate. Additionally, trans-bromuconazole was found to undergo stereoselective metabolism as evidenced by a change in the enantiomeric ratio (trans-/trans+) with respect to time.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) is one of the most important enzymes catalyzing biotransformation of xenobiotics in the human liver. This enzyme's activity shows a high degree of interindividual variability caused in part by its genetic polymorphism, the so-called debrisoquine/sparteine polymorphism. The genetic component influencing CYP2D6 activity can be determined by genotyping. However, genotyping alone is not sufficient to accurately predict an individual's actual CYP2D6 activity, as this is also influenced by other factors. For the determination of the exact actual enzymatic activity ("phenotyping"), adequate probe drugs have to be administered prior to measurements of these compounds and/or their metabolites in body fluids. PROBE DRUGS: Debrisoquine, sparteine, metoprolol or dextromethorphan represent well-established probe drugs while tramadol has been recently investigated for this purpose. The enzymatic activity is reflected by various pharmacokinetic metrics such as the partial clearance of a parent compound to the respective CYP2D6-mediated metabolite or metabolic ratios. Appropriate metrics need to fulfill pre-defined validation criteria. METHODS In this review, we have compiled a list of such criteria useful to select the best metrics to reflect CYP2D6 activity. A comprehensive Medline search for reports on CYP2D6 phenotyping trials with the above mentioned probe drugs was carried out. CONCLUSION Application of the validation criteria suggests that dextromethorphan and debrisoquine are the best CYP2D6 phenotyping drugs, with debrisoquine having the problem of very limited availability as a therapeutic drug. However, the assessment of the best dextromethorphan CYP2D6 phenotyping metric/procedure is still ongoing.

Abstract
Ketoconazole has generally been used as a standard inhibitor for studying clinical pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions (DDIs) of drugs that are primarily metabolized by CYP3A4/5. However, ketoconazole at therapeutic, high concentrations also inhibits cytochromes P450 (P450) other than CYP3A4/5, which has made the predictions of DDIs less accurate. Determining the in vivo inhibitor concentration at the enzymatic site is critical for predicting the clinical DDI, but it remains a technical challenge. Various approaches have been used in the literature to estimate the human hepatic free concentrations of this inhibitor, and application of those to predict DDIs has shown some success. In the present study, a novel approach using cryopreserved human hepatocytes suspended in human plasma was applied to mimic the in vivo concentration of ketoconazole at the enzymatic site. The involvement of various P450s in the metabolism of compounds of interest was quantitatively determined (reactive phenotyping). Likewise, the effect of ketoconazole on various P450s was quantitated. Using this information, P450-mediated change in the area under the curve has been predicted without the need of estimating the inhibitor concentrations at the enzyme active site or the K(i). This approach successfully estimated the magnitude of the clinical DDI of an investigational compound, MLX, which is cleared by multiple P450-mediated metabolism. It also successfully predicted the pharmacokinetic DDIs for several marketed drugs (theophylline, tolbutamide, omeprazole, desipramine, midazolam, alprazolam, cyclosporine, and loratadine) with a correlation coefficient (r(2)) of 0.992. Thus, this approach provides a simple method to more precisely predict the DDIs for P450 substrates when coadministered with ketoconazole or any other competitive P450 inhibitors in humans.
