High-Dose Isoniazid Lacks EARLY Bactericidal Activity against Isoniazid-resistant Tuberculosis Mediated by katG Mutations: A Randomized Phase II Clinical Trial. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2024; 210:343-351. [PMID: 38564365 PMCID: PMC11348975 DOI: 10.1164/rccm.202311-2004oc] [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: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Rationale: Observational studies suggest that high-dose isoniazid may be efficacious in treating multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. However, its activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) with katG mutations (which typically confer high-level resistance) is not established. Objectives: To characterize the early bactericidal activity (EBA) of high-dose isoniazid in patients with tuberculosis caused by katG-mutated M.tb. Methods: A5312 was a phase IIA randomized, open-label trial. Participants with tuberculosis caused by katG-mutated M.tb were randomized to receive 15 or 20 mg/kg isoniazid daily for 7 days. Daily sputum samples were collected for quantitative culture. Intensive pharmacokinetic sampling was performed on Day 6. Data were pooled across all A5312 participants for analysis (drug-sensitive, inhA-mutated, and katG-mutated M.tb). EBA was determined using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling. Measurements and Main Results: Of 80 treated participants, 21 had katG-mutated M.tb. Isoniazid pharmacokinetics were best described by a two-compartment model with an effect of NAT2 acetylator phenotype on clearance. Model-derived maximum concentration and area under the concentration-time curve in the 15 and 20 mg/kg groups were 15.0 and 22.1 mg/L and 57.6 and 76.8 mg ⋅ h/L, respectively. Isoniazid bacterial kill was described using an effect compartment and a sigmoidal maximum efficacy relationship. Isoniazid potency against katG-mutated M.tb was approximately 10-fold lower than in inhA-mutated M.tb. The highest dose of 20 mg/kg did not demonstrate measurable EBA, except against a subset of slow NAT2 acetylators (who experienced the highest concentrations). There were no grade 3 or higher drug-related adverse events. Conclusions: This study found negligible bactericidal activity of high-dose isoniazid (15-20 mg/kg) in the majority of participants with tuberculosis caused by katG-mutated M.tb. Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01936831).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Isoniazid is a first-line antituberculosis agent with high variability, which would profit from individualized dosing. Concentrations of isoniazid at 2 h (C2h), as an indicator of safety and efficacy, are important for optimizing therapy. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to establish machine learning (ML) models to predict the C2h, that can be used for establishing an individualized dosing regimen in clinical practice. METHODS Published population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) models for adults were searched based on PubMed and ultimately four reliable models were selected for simulating individual C2h datasets under different conditions (demographics, genotype, ethnicity, etc.). Machine learning models were trained on simulated C2h obtained from the four PopPK models. Five different algorithms were used for ML model building to predict C2h. Real-world data were used for predictive performance evaluations. Virtual trials were used to compare ML-optimized doses with PopPK model-optimized doses. RESULTS Categorical boosting (CatBoost) exhibited the highest prediction ability. Target C2h can be predicted using the ML model combined with the dosing regimen and three covariates (N-acetyltransferase 2 [NAT2] genotypes, weight and race [Asians and Africans]). Real-world data validation results showed that the ML model can achieve an overall prediction accuracy of 93.4%. Using the final ML model, the mean absolute prediction error value decreased by 45.7% relative to the average of PopPK models. Using the ML-optimized dosing regimen, the probability of target attainment increased by 43.7% relative to the PopPK model-optimized dosing regimens. CONCLUSION Machine learning models were developed with great predictive performance, which can be used to determine the individualized initial dose of isoniazid in adult patients.

Abstract
Rationale: Standardized dosing of antitubercular drugs leads to variable plasma drug levels, which are associated with adverse drug reactions, delayed treatment response, and relapse. Mutations in genes affecting drug metabolism explain considerable interindividual pharmacokinetic variability; however, pharmacogenomic assays that predict metabolism of antitubercular drugs have been lacking. Objectives: We sought to develop a Nanopore sequencing panel and validate its performance in patients with active tuberculosis (TB) to personalize treatment dosing. Methods: We developed a Nanopore sequencing panel targeting 15 SNPs in five genes affecting the metabolism of antitubercular drugs. For validation, we sequenced DNA samples (n = 48) from the 1,000 Genomes Project and compared the variant calling accuracy with that of Illumina genome sequencing. We then sequenced DNA samples from patients with active TB (n = 100) from South Africa on a MinION Mk1C and evaluated the relationship between genotypes and pharmacokinetic parameters for isoniazid (INH) and rifampin (RIF). Measurements and Main Results: The pharmacogenomic panel achieved 100% concordance with Illumina sequencing in variant identification for the samples from the 1,000 Genomes Project. In the clinical cohort, coverage was more than 100× for 1,498 of 1,500 (99.8%) amplicons across the 100 samples. Thirty-three percent, 47%, and 20% of participants were identified as slow, intermediate, and rapid INH acetylators, respectively. INH clearance was 2.2 times higher among intermediate acetylators and 3.8 times higher among rapid acetylators, compared with slow acetylators (P < 0.0001). RIF clearance was 17.3% (2.50-29.9) lower in individuals with homozygous AADAC rs1803155 G→A substitutions (P = 0.0015). Conclusions: Targeted sequencing can enable the detection of polymorphisms that influence TB drug metabolism on a low-cost, portable instrument to personalize dosing for TB treatment or prevention.

Pharmacogenetic variability of tuberculosis biomarkers in native and mestizo Peruvian populations. Pharmacol Res Perspect 2024; 12:e1179. [PMID: 38666760 PMCID: PMC11047445 DOI: 10.1002/prp2.1179] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024] Open
Abstract
In Peru, 29 292 people were diagnosed with tuberculosis in 2022. Although tuberculosis treatments are effective, 3.4%-13% are associated with significant adverse drug reactions, with drug-induced liver injury (DILI) considered the most predominant. Among the first-line antituberculosis drugs, isoniazid is the main drug responsible for the appearance of DILI. In liver, isoniazid (INH) is metabolized by N-acetyltransferase-2 (NAT2) and cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1). Limited information exists on genetic risk factors associated with the presence of DILI to antituberculosis drugs in Latin America, and even less is known about these factors in the native and mestizo Peruvian population. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of NAT2 and CYP2E1 genotypes in native and mestizo population. An analytical cross-sectional analysis was performed using genetic data from mestizo population in Lima and native participants from south of Peru. NAT2 metabolizer was determined as fast, intermediate and slow, and CYP2E1 genotypes were classified as c1/c1, c1/c2 and c2/c2, from molecular tests and bioinformatic analyses. Of the 472 participants, 36 and 6 NAT2 haplotypes were identified in the mestizo and native population, respectively. In mestizo population, the most frequent NAT2*5B and NAT2*7B haplotypes were associated with DILI risk; while in natives, NAT2*5G and NAT2*13A haplotypes were associated with decreased risk of DILI. For CYP2E1, c1/c1 and c1/c2 genotypes are the most frequent in natives and mestizos, respectively. The linkage disequilibrium of NAT2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was estimated, detecting a block between all SNPs natives. In addition, a block between rs1801280 and rs1799929 for NAT2 was detected in mestizos. Despite the limitations of a secondary study, it was possible to report associations between NAT2 and CYP2E alleles with Peruvian native and mestizo by prevalence ratios. The results of this study will help the development of new therapeutic strategies for a Tuberculosis efficient control between populations.

Abstract
Previously reported amphiphilic linear and graft copolymers, derived from the ionic liquid [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride (TMAMA_Cl‾), along with their conjugates obtained through modification either before or after polymerization with p-aminosalicylate anions (TMAMA_PAS‾), were employed as matrices in drug delivery systems (DDSs). Based on the counterion type in TMAMA units, they were categorized into single drug systems, manifesting as ionic polymers with chloride counterions and loaded isoniazid (ISO), and dual drug systems, featuring ISO loaded in self-assembled PAS conjugates. The amphiphilic nature of these copolymers was substantiated through the determination of the critical micelle concentration (CMC), revealing an increase in values post-ion exchange (from 0.011-0.063 mg/mL to 0.027-0.181 mg/mL). The self-assembling properties were favorable for ISO encapsulation, with drug loading content (DLC) ranging between 15 and 85% in both single and dual systems. In vitro studies indicated ISO release percentages between 16 and 61% and PAS release percentages between 20 and 98%. Basic cytotoxicity assessments using the 2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) test affirmed the non-toxicity of the studied systems toward human non-tumorigenic lung epithelial cell line (BEAS-2B) cell lines, particularly in the case of dual systems bearing both ISO and PAS simultaneously. These results confirmed the effectiveness of polymeric carriers in drug delivery, demonstrating their potential for co-delivery in combination therapy.

Abstract
Pregnancy can increase the risk of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) progression to tuberculosis (TB) disease. Isoniazid (INH) is the preferred preventative treatment for LTBI in pregnancy. INH is mainly cleared by N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) but the pharmacokinetics (PK) of INH in different NAT2 phenotypes during pregnancy is not well characterized. To address this knowledge gap, we used physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling to evaluate NAT2 phenotype-specific effects of pregnancy on INH disposition. A whole-body PBPK model for INH was developed and verified for non-pregnant NAT2 fast (FA), intermediate (IA), and slow (SA) acetylators. Model predictive performance was assessed using a drug-specific model acceptance criterion for mean plasma area under the curve (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax ), and the absolute average fold error (AAFE) for individual plasma concentrations. The verified model was extended to simulate INH disposition during pregnancy in NAT2 SA, IA, and FA populations. A sensitivity analysis was conducted using the verified PBPK model and known changes in INH disposition during pregnancy to determine whether NAT2 activity changes during pregnancy or other INH clearance pathways are altered. This analysis suggested that NAT2 activity is unchanged while other INH clearance pathways increase by ~80% during pregnancy. The model was applied to explore the effect of pregnancy on INH disposition in two ethnic populations with different NAT2 phenotype distributions and with high TB burden. Our PBPK model can be used to predict INH disposition during pregnancy in diverse populations and expanded to other drugs cleared by NAT2 during pregnancy.

Abstract
Tuberculosis is a major global health issue, with approximately 10 million people falling ill and 1.4 million dying yearly. One of the most significant challenges to public health is the emergence of drug-resistant tuberculosis. For the last half-century, treating tuberculosis has adhered to a uniform management strategy in most patients. However, treatment ineffectiveness in some individuals with pulmonary tuberculosis presents a major challenge to the global tuberculosis control initiative. Unfavorable outcomes of tuberculosis treatment (including mortality, treatment failure, loss of follow-up, and unevaluated cases) may result in increased transmission of tuberculosis and the emergence of drug-resistant strains. Treatment failure may occur due to drug-resistant strains, non-adherence to medication, inadequate absorption of drugs, or low-quality healthcare. Identifying the underlying cause and adjusting the treatment accordingly to address treatment failure is important. This is where approaches such as artificial intelligence, genetic screening, and whole genome sequencing can play a critical role. In this review, we suggest a set of particular clinical applications of these approaches, which might have the potential to influence decisions regarding the clinical management of tuberculosis patients.

Sileshi T, Telele NF, Burkley V, Makonnen E, Aklillu E. Correlation of N-acetyltransferase 2 genotype and acetylation status with plasma isoniazid concentration and its metabolic ratio in ethiopian tuberculosis patients. Sci Rep 2023; 13:11438. [PMID: 37454203 PMCID: PMC10349800 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-38716-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2023] [Accepted: 07/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Unfavorable treatment outcomes for tuberculosis (TB) treatment might result from altered plasma exposure to antitubercular drugs in TB patients. The present study investigated the distribution of the N-Acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) genotype, isoniazid acetylation status, genotype-phenotype concordance of NAT2, and isoniazid plasma exposure among Ethiopian tuberculosis patients. Blood samples were collected from newly diagnosed TB patients receiving a fixed dose combination of first-line antitubercular drugs daily. Genotyping of NAT2 was done using TaqMan drug metabolism assay. Isoniazid and its metabolite concentration were determined using validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). A total of 120 patients (63 male and 57 female) were enrolled in this study. The mean daily dose of isoniazid was 4.71 mg/kg. The frequency of slow, intermediate, and fast NAT2 acetylators genotypes were 74.2%, 22.4%, and 3.3% respectively. The overall median isoniazid maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) was 4.77 µg/mL and the AUC0-7 h was 11.21 µg.h/mL. The median Cmax in slow, intermediate, and fast acetylators were 5.65, 3.44, and 2.47 μg/mL, respectively. The median AUC0-7 h hour in slow, intermediate, and fast acetylators were 13.1, 6.086, and 3.73 mg•h/L, respectively. The majority (87.5%) of the study participants achieved isoniazid Cmax of above 3 µg/mL, which is considered a lower limit for a favorable treatment outcome. There is 85% concordance between the NAT2 genotype and acetylation phenotypes. NAT2 genotype, female sex, and dose were independent predictors of Cmax and AUC0-7 h (p < 0.001). Our finding revealed that there is a high frequency of slow NAT2 genotypes. The plasma Cmax of isoniazid was higher in the female and slow acetylators genotype group. The overall target plasma isoniazid concentrations in Ethiopian tuberculosis patients were achieved in the majority of the patients. Therefore, it is important to monitor adverse drug reactions and the use of a higher dose of isoniazid should be closely monitored.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Isoniazid (INH) plays an important role in prevention and treatment of tuberculosis (TB). However, large pharmacokinetic (PK) variations are observed in patients receiving standard INH dosages. Considering the influence of PK variations on INH efficacy or adverse reactions, we reviewed the population PK studies of INH and explored significant covariates that influence INH PK. METHODS The PubMed and Embase databases were systematically searched from their inception to 30 January 2023. PPK studies on INH using a parametric nonlinear mixed-effect approach were included in this review. The characteristics and identified significant covariates of the included studies were summarized. RESULTS Twenty-one studies conducted in adults, and seven in pediatrics were included. A two-compartment model with first-order absorption and elimination was the frequently used structural model for INH. NAT2 genotype, body size, and age were identified as significant covariates affecting INH PK variation. The median clearance (CL) value in the fast metabolizers was 2.55-fold higher than that in the slow metabolizers. Infants and children had higher CL per weight values than adults with the same metabolic phenotype. In pediatric patients, CL value increased with postnatal age. CONCLUSIONS Compared with slow metabolizers, the daily dose of INH should be increased by 200-600 mg in fast metabolizers. To achieve effective treatment, pediatric patients need a higher dose per kilogram than adults. Further PPK studies of anti-tuberculosis drugs are needed to comprehensively understand the covariates that affect their PK characteristics and to achieve accurate dose adjustments.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study examined the association of smoking with ovarian reserve in a cross-sectional study of 207 women enrolled in the Louisville Tobacco Smoke Exposure, Genetic Susceptibility, and Infertility (LOUSSI) Study and assessed effect modification by NAT2 acetylator phenotype. METHODS Information on current smoking status was collected using a structured questionnaire and confirmed by cotinine assay. Serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels were used to assess ovarian reserve. Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) was defined as AMH <1ng/mL. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the NAT2 gene, which metabolizes toxins found in cigarette smoke, were analyzed to determine NAT2 acetylator status. Linear and logistic regression were used to determine the effects of smoking on ovarian reserve and evaluate effect modification by NAT2. Regression analyses were stratified by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) status and adjusted for age. RESULTS Current smoking status, either passive or active as measured by urinary cotinine assay, was not significantly associated with DOR. For dose-response assessed using self-report, the odds of DOR increased significantly for every additional cigarette currently smoked (Odds ratio, OR:1.08; 95% confidence interval, 95%CI:1.01-1.15); additionally, every 1 pack-year increase in lifetime exposure was associated with an increased odds of DOR among women without PCOS (OR: 1.08 95%CI: 0.99-1.18). These trends appear to be driven by the heavy or long-term smokers. Effect modification by NAT2 genotype was not established. CONCLUSION A history of heavy smoking may indicate increased risk of diminished ovarian reserve.

Abstract
Isoniazid and its metabolites are potentially associated with hepatotoxicity and treatment outcomes in patients who receive antituberculosis (TB) therapy. To further understand the pharmacokinetic profiles of these molecules, a method based on LC-MS/MS was developed to determine the concentration of these compounds in human plasma. Isoniazid, acetylisoniazid, and isonicotinic acid were directly analyzed, whereas hydrazine and acetylhydrazine were determined after derivatization using p-tolualdehyde. Chromatographic separation was conducted on reversed-phase C18 columns with gradient elution, and detection was carried out in multiple reaction monitoring mode. The calibration curves were linear with correlation coefficients (r) greater than 0.9947 for all analytes. The intra- and inter-day precision was less than 13.43%, and the accuracy ranged between 91.63 and 114.00%. The recovery and matrix effect of the analytes were also consistent (coefficient of variation was less than 9.36%). The developed method successfully quantified isoniazid and its metabolites in TB patients. The method has broad applications in clinical research, including isoniazid one-point-based therapeutic drug monitoring, genotype-phenotype association studies of isoniazid metabolic profile and isoniazid-induced hepatotoxicity, and the initial dose prediction of isoniazid using population pharmacokinetic modeling.

Abstract
Isoniazid (INH) is one of the key molecules employed in the treatment of tuberculosis (TB), the most deadly infectious disease worldwide. However, the efficacy of this cornerstone drug has seriously decreased due to emerging INH-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). In the present study, we aimed to chemically tailor INH to overcome this resistance. We obtained thirteen novel compounds by linking INH to in-house synthesized sulfonate esters via a hydrazone bridge (SIH1-SIH13). Following structural characterization by FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS, all compounds were screened for their antitubercular activity against Mtb H37Rv strain and INH-resistant clinical isolates carrying katG and inhA mutations. Additionally, the cytotoxic effects of SIH1-SIH13 were assessed on three different healthy host cell lines; HEK293, IMR-90, and BEAS-2B. Based on the obtained data, the synthesized compounds appeared as attractive antimycobacterial drug candidates with low cytotoxicity. Moreover, the stability of the hydrazone moiety in the chemical structure of the final compounds was confirmed by using UV/Vis spectroscopy in both aqueous medium and DMSO. Subsequently, the compounds were tested for their inhibitory activities against enoyl acyl carrier protein reductase (InhA), the primary target enzyme of INH. Although most of the synthesized compounds are hosted by the InhA binding pocket, SIH1-SIH13 do not primarily show their antitubercular activities by direct InhA inhibition. Finally, in silico determination of important physicochemical parameters of the molecules showed that SIH1-SIH13 adhered to Lipinski's rule of five. Overall, our study revealed a new strategy for modifying INH to cope with the emerging drug-resistant strains of Mtb.

Abstract
Despite updated recommendations for weight-based isoniazid dosing in children with drug-susceptible tuberculosis (TB) and higher dose isoniazid in regimens for adults with drug-resistant TB, individual pharmacokinetic variability can lead to sub-target isoniazid exposure. Host pharmacogenetics and isoniazid exposure remain understudied, especially in the East African population. We therefore employed a real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay system to test genomic DNA extracted from saliva samples targeting the NAT2 gene responsible for isoniazid metabolism to describe the frequency of human single nucleotide polymorphisms in NAT2 within populations of children and adults in Tanzania, ascribe those polymorphisms to acetylator phenotype, and correlate to serum isoniazid exposures. In adults treated with higher dose isoniazid, genotypes with a predicted allelic phenotype of slow or intermediate acetylation were able to achieve a 0.41 μg/mL higher Cmax (p = 0.018) and a 2.9h*μg/mL higher AUC0-12 (p = 0.003) per mg/kg increase in isoniazid dosage versus adults with rapid acetylation phenotype. A similar relationship was not found in the younger age population as predicted by timing of NAT2 maturation. This saliva based qPCR assay was fieldable to guide personalized isoniazid dosing in adults but not young children that may not have full NAT2 maturation and activity.

Abstract
Since their discovery, arylamine N-acetyltransferases 1 and 2 (NAT1 and NAT2, respectively) have been associated with the metabolism of xenobiotics. NAT2 is the main factor in the therapeutic success of tuberculosis treatment due to its role in the biotransformation of isoniazid. However, researchers have started to investigate the possible participation of NAT1 and NAT2 (NATs) in carcinogenesis, although the mechanisms have not been elucidated fully. NATs enzymatic activity is essential in some types of cancer, such as breast cancer and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Whether NAT1 and/or NAT2 participate in insulin resistance level in diabetes mellitus or in the immune system remains to be explored. Therefore, it is clear that its role in cell physiology has more implications than just metabolizing compounds.

Abstract
Objective: We aimed to establish a population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model for isoniazid (INH) and its major metabolite Acetylisoniazid (AcINH) in healthy Chinese participants and tuberculosis patients and assess the role of the NAT2 genotype on the transformation of INH to AcINH. We also sought to estimate the INH exposure that would achieve a 90% effective concentration (EC90) efficiency for patients with various NAT2 genotypes. Method: A total of 45 healthy participants and 157 tuberculosis patients were recruited. For healthy subjects, blood samples were collected 0–14 h after administration of 300 mg or 320 mg of the oral dose of INH; for tuberculosis patients who received at least seven days therapy with INH, blood samples were collected two and/or six hours after administration. The plasma concentration of INH and AcINH was determined by the reverse-phase HPLC method. NAT2 genotypes were determined by allele-specific amplification. The integrated PPK model of INH and AcINH was established through nonlinear mixed-effect modeling (NONMEM). The effect of NAT2 genotype and other covariates on INH and AcINH disposition was evaluated. Monte Carlo simulation was performed for estimating EC90 of INH in patients with various NAT2 genotypes. Results: The estimated absorption rate constant (Ka), oral clearance (CL/F), and apparent volume of distribution (V2/F) for INH were 3.94 ± 0.44 h−1, 18.2 ± 2.45 L⋅h−1, and 56.8 ± 5.53 L, respectively. The constant of clearance (K30) and the volume of distribution (V3/F) of AcINH were 0.33 ± 0.11 h−1 and 25.7 ± 1.30 L, respectively. The fraction of AcINH formation (FM) was 0.81 ± 0.076. NAT2 genotypes had different effects on the CL/F and FM. In subjects with only one copy of NAT2 *5, *6, and *7 alleles, the CL/F values were approximately 46.3%, 54.9%, and 74.8% of *4/*4 subjects, respectively. The FM values were approximately 48.7%, 63.8%, and 86.9% of *4/*4 subjects, respectively. The probability of target attainment of INH EC90 in patients with various NAT2 genotypes was different. Conclusion: The integrated parent-metabolite PPK model accurately characterized the disposition of INH and AcINH in the Chinese population sampled, which may be useful in the individualized therapy of INH.

Abstract
Purpose Pharmacogenetics (PGx) testing is one of the methods for determining whether individuals are at risk of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). It has been reported that multiple-PGx testing, a sequencing technology, has a higher predictive value than single-PGx testing. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the most cost-effective PGx testing strategies for preventing drug-induced serious ADRs in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients. Patients and Methods Potential strategies, including 1) single-PGx esting (ie, HLA-B*57:01 testing before prescribing abacavir, HLA-B*13:01 testing before prescribing co-trimoxazole and dapsone, and NAT2 testing before prescribing isoniazid) and 2) multiple-PGx testing as a combination of four single-gene PGx tests in one panel, were all compared to no PGx testing (current practice). To evaluate total cost in Thai baht (THB) and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) for each strategy-based approach to a societal perspective, a hybrid decision tree and Markov model was constructed. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were estimated. Uncertainty, threshold, and scenario analyses were all performed. Results Before prescribing HIV therapy, providing single or multiple-PGx testing might save roughly 68 serious ADRs per year, and the number needed to screen (NNS) to avoid one serious ADR was 40. Consequently, approximately 35% and 40% of the cost of ADR treatment could be avoided by the implementation of single- and multiple-PGx testing, respectively. Compared with no PGx testing strategy, the ICERs were 146,319 THB/QALY gained for single-PGx testing and 152,014 THB/QALY gained for multiple-PGx testing. Moreover, the probability of multiple-PGx testing being cost-effective was 45% at the Thai willingness to pay threshold of 160,000 THB per QALY. Threshold analyses showed that multiple-PGx testing remained cost-effective under the range of cost, sensitivity at 0.95–1.00 and specificity at 0.98–1.00. Conclusion Single and multiple-PGx testing might be cost-effective options for reducing the incidence of drug-induced serious ADRs in people living with HIV.

Bargaje M, Bharaswadkar S, Lohidasan S, Panda BK. Plasma drug concentrations of 4-drug fixed-dose combination regimen and its efficacy for treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis under National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme: A prospective pilot study. Indian J Tuberc 2022; 69:311-319. [PMID: 35760480 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijtb.2021.04.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2021] [Accepted: 04/06/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The thrice weekly dosing regimen of DOTS has shown low rifampicin plasma concentrations as an independent risk factor for unfavourable tuberculosis (TB) outcome. With introduction of daily regimen using fixed dose combinations (FDC) under National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP) the existence of suboptimal plasma levels of first-line antitubercular drugs and its clinical significance remain poorly understood. METHOD We included a prospective cohort of newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients receiving 4-FDC daily regimen under NTEP. Plasma concentration at 2 hours (C2h) of each drug was determined after two weeks of treatment using liquid chromatography (LCMS/MS) developed by us. TB card and laboratory reports were reviewed for baseline characteristics and clinical status at 2, 4 and 6 months after the initiation of treatment. At a 1 year follow-up, therapy failure was defined as death or a relapse of tuberculosis. RESULTS Among 40 PTB patients, the C2h post dose plasma concentrations of H, R and E were suboptimal in 25%, 60% and 10% respectively. The C2h of H, R, Z and E were respectively 4.2 ± 2.0, 7.3 ± 2.8, 39.2 ± 8.8 and 3.5 ± 1.2 μg/ml; 60% of the patients had suboptimal plasma concentrations and commonly it was observed with H and R. C2h were lower than expected for at least two drugs i.e. H and R in 25% (10/40) of the patients. Plasma concentration of isoniazid and rifampicin has always been considered important for microbiological response and treatment outcome and low concentrations has been associated with poor treatment response. These patients may require a two year follow up and critical evaluation for prevention of MDR-TB. However, all the TB patients were cured and none of them had recurrence within one year follow up. CONCLUSIONS All the pulmonary TB patients administering 4-FDC daily regimen under programmatic settings were cured despite the suboptimal levels of isoniaizd and rifampicin. All the patients achieved pyrazinamide plasma levels and probably this could be the reason behind favourable outcome. Further study is required on large sample size with various subset of population to understand the need of therapeutic drug monitoring.

[PMID: 35629211 PMCID: PMC9144180 DOI: 10.3390/jpm12050790] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2022] [Revised: 05/08/2022] [Accepted: 05/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/07/2022] Open
Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is an unpredictable and feared side effect of antituberculosis treatment (AT). The present study aimed to identify clinical and genetic variables associated with susceptibility to AT-associated hepatotoxicity in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis treated with a standard protocol. Of 233 patients enrolled, 90% prospectively, 103 developed liver injury: 37 with mild and 66 with severe phenotype (DILI). All patients with mild hepatitis had a RUCAM score ≥4 and all patients with DILI had a RUCAM score ≥ 6. Eight clinical variables and variants in six candidate genes were assessed. A logistic multivariate regression analysis identified four risk factors for AT-DILI: age ≥ 55 years (OR:3.67; 95% CI:1.82−7.41; p < 0.001), concomitant medication with other hepatotoxic drugs (OR:2.54; 95% CI:1.23−5.26; p = 0.012), NAT2 slow acetylator status (OR:2.46; 95% CI:1.25−4.84; p = 0.009), and carriers of p.Val444Ala variant for ABCB11 gene (OR:2.06; 95%CI:1.02−4.17; p = 0.044). The statistical model explains 24.9% of the susceptibility to AT-DILI, with an 8.9 times difference between patients in the highest and in the lowest quartiles of risk scores. This study sustains the complex architecture of AT-DILI. Prospective studies should evaluate the benefit of NAT2 and ABCB11 genotyping in AT personalization, particularly in patients over 55 years.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES No population pharmacokinetics (PK) model of isoniazid (INH) has been reported for the Indonesian population with tuberculosis (TB). Therefore, we aimed to develop a population PK model to optimize pharmacotherapy of INH on the basis of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) implementation in Indonesian patients with TB. MATERIALS AND METHODS INH concentrations, N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) genotypes, and clinical data were collected from Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Indonesia. A nonlinear mixed-effect model was used to develop and validate the population PK model. RESULTS A total of 107 patients with TB (with 153 samples) were involved in this study. A one-compartment model with allometric scaling for bodyweight effect described well the PK of INH. The NAT2 acetylator phenotype significantly affected INH clearance. The mean clearance rates for the rapid, intermediate, and slow NAT2 acetylator phenotypes were 55.9, 37.8, and 17.7 L/h, respectively. Our model was well-validated through visual predictive checks and bootstrapping. CONCLUSIONS We established the population PK model for INH in Indonesian patients with TB using the NAT2 acetylator phenotype as a significant covariate. Our Bayesian forecasting model should enable optimization of TB treatment for INH in Indonesian patients with TB.

Abstract
PURPOSE Isoniazid (INH) is prescribed both for the prophylaxis as well as the treatment of tuberculosis. It is primarily metabolized through acetylation by a highly polymorphic enzyme, N-acetyl transferase 2 (NAT2), owing to which significant variable systemic drug levels have been reported among slow and rapid acetylators. Furthermore, many drugs, like phenytoin, diazepam, triazolam, etc., are known to show toxic manifestation when co-administered with INH and it happens prominently among slow acetylators. Additionally, it is revealed in in vitro inhibition studies that INH carries noteworthy potential to inhibit CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 enzymes. However, CYP inhibitory effect of INH gets masked by opposite enzyme-inducing effect of rifampicin, when used in combination. Thus, distinct objective of this study was to fill the knowledge gaps related to gene-drug-drug interactions (DDI) potential of INH when given alone for prophylactic purpose. METHODS Whole body-PBPK models of INH were developed and verified for both slow and fast acetylators. The same were then utilized to carry out prospective DDI studies with CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 substrates in both acetylator types. RESULTS The results highlighted likelihood of significant higher blood levels of CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 substrate drugs in subjects receiving INH pre-treatment. It was also re-established that interaction was more likely in slow acetylators, as compared to rapid acetylators. CONCLUSION The novel outcome of the present study is the indication that prescribers should give careful consideration while advising CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 substrate drugs to subjects who are on prophylaxis INH therapy, and are slow to metabolic acetylation.

Abstract
Isoniazid is a therapeutic agent for the treatment of latent tuberculosis infection. Genetic variants in the N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) are associated with the safety and pharmacokinetics of isoniazid. The study aimed to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of a NAT2 genotype-guided regimen of isoniazid monotherapy. A randomized, open-label, parallel-group and multiple-dosing study was performed in healthy subjects. The subjects received isoniazid for 29 days. The NAT2 slow acetylators (NAT2*5/*5, -*5/*6, -*5/*7, -*6/*6, -*6/*7, -*7/*7) randomly received standard dose (300 mg, standard-treatment group) or reduced dose (200 mg, PGx-treatment group) of isoniazid. Also, all the NAT2 rapid acetylators (NAT2*4/*4) received isoniazid 300 mg (reference group). The safety and pharmacokinetics were evaluated during the study. The PGx-treatment group showed a more stable serum liver enzyme profile and a lower incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) than the standard-treatment group. The emergence rates of ADRs were 12.5, 60 and 33.3% in the reference, standard-treatment and PGx-treatment groups, respectively. The PGx-treatment group showed higher plasma isoniazid concentrations than the reference group, although the PGx-treatment group received a reduced dose of isoniazid. Our results showed that a NAT2 genotype-guided regimen may reduce ADRs during isoniazid monotherapy without concern over insufficient drug exposure.

Abstract
RATIONALE Standardized dosing of anti-tubercular drugs contributes to a substantial incidence of toxicities, inadequate treatment response, and relapse, in part due to variable drug levels achieved. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the N-acetyltransferase-2 (NAT2) gene explain the majority of interindividual pharmacokinetic variability of isoniazid (INH). However, an obstacle to implementing pharmacogenomic-guided dosing is the lack of a point-of-care assay. OBJECTIVES To develop and test a NAT2 classification algorithm, validate its performance in predicting isoniazid clearance, and develop a prototype pharmacogenomic assay. METHODS We trained random forest models to predict NAT2 acetylation genotype from unphased SNP data using a global collection of 8,561 phased genomes. We enrolled 48 pulmonary TB patients, performed sparse pharmacokinetic sampling, and tested the acetylator prediction algorithm accuracy against estimated INH clearance. We then developed a cartridge-based multiplex qPCR assay on the GeneXpert platform and assessed its analytical sensitivity on whole blood samples from healthy individuals. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS With a 5-SNP model trained on two-thirds of the data (n=5,738), out-of-sample acetylation genotype prediction accuracy on the remaining third (n=2,823) was 100%. Among the 48 TB patients, predicted acetylator types were: 27 (56.2%) slow, 16 (33.3%) intermediate and 5 (10.4%) rapid. INH clearance rates were lowest in predicted slow acetylators (median 14.5 L/hr), moderate in intermediate acetylators (median 40.3 L/hr) and highest in fast acetylators (median 53.0 L/hr). The cartridge-based assay accurately detected all allele patterns directly from 25 ul of whole blood. CONCLUSIONS An automated pharmacogenomic assay on a platform widely used globally for tuberculosis diagnosis could enable personalized dosing of isoniazid.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetic model using full pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of isoniazid (INH) taking into account demographic and genetic covariates and to develop Bayesian estimators for predicting INH area under the curve (AUC) in Tunisian tuberculosis patients. The INH concentrations in the building data set were fitted using a one- to three-compartment model. The impact of the different covariates was assessed on the PK parameters of the best model. The best limited sampling strategy (LSS) for estimating the INH AUC was selected by comparing the predicted values to an independent data set. INH PK was best described using a three-compartment model with lag-time absorption. The different studied covariates did not have any impact on the PK parameters of the building model. The Bayesian estimation using one-point concentrations gave the lowest values of prediction errors for the C3 LSS model. This model could be sufficient in routine activity for INH monitoring in this population.

Abstract
Background Previously treated (ie, recurrent) tuberculosis (TB) cases account for approximately 7%-8% of incident TB globally and in Singapore. Molecular fingerprinting has enabled the differentiation of these patients into relapsed or reinfection cases. Methods Patient demographics, disease characteristics, and treatment information were obtained from the national TB notification registry and TB Control Unit. We performed a retrospective, case-control study to evaluate factors associated with recurrent TB disease in Singapore citizens and permanent residents with culture-positive TB from 2006 to 2013 and who developed a second episode of culture-positive TB up to 2016 using multivariable logistic regression analyses. Results Ninety-one cases with culture-positive first and recurrent TB disease episodes were identified. Recurrent TB was associated with age ≥60 years (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.98 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.09-3.61), male sex (aOR, 2.29 [95% CI, 1.22-4.51]), having concomitant pulmonary and extrapulmonary TB (aOR, 3.10 [95% CI, 1.59-6.10]) and extrapulmonary TB alone (aOR, 3.82 [95% CI, 1.12-13.31]), and was less likely in non-Malays (aOR, 0.52 [95% CI, .27-.99]). DNA fingerprinting results for both episodes in 49 cases differentiated these into 28 relapsed and 21 reinfection cases. Relapse was associated with having concomitant pulmonary and extrapulmonary TB (aOR, 9.24 [95% CI, 2.50-42.42]) and positive sputum acid-fast bacilli smear (aOR, 3.95 [95% CI, 1.36-13.10]). Conclusions Relapse and reinfection contributed to 57% and 43%, respectively, of recurrent TB in Singapore. Our study highlights the underappreciated association of concomitant pulmonary and extrapulmonary TB as a significant risk factor for disease relapse.

Abstract
The wide variability of isoniazid (INH) pharmacokinetics is mainly attributed to the trimodal N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) acetylator phenotype, that is, rapid, intermediate, and slow. Consequently, a uniform INH dose in current clinical practice may lead to treatment failure and emergence of drug resistance. There is a lack of studies on specific doses of INH for different NAT2 acetylator phenotypes among tuberculosis (TB) patients. Therefore, we aimed to provide insight into the optimal dosing of INH for each NAT2 acetylator phenotype with respect to the probability of achieving a pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamic target. PK, the NAT2 genotype, and clinical data were collected in a multicenter prospective cohort study conducted at 13 clinical centers in Korea. Population PK modeling and simulation were carried out. Data from 454 TB patients were divided into a training data set and a test data set at a ratio of 4 to 1. The PK of the training data were best described by a 2-compartment model with allometric scaling for body size effect. Importantly, NAT2 acetylator phenotypes significantly affected the apparent clearance. Our model, which provided better predictive performance compared with previously published models, was evaluated by external validation using the test set. The simulation for assessing target efficacy and toxicity indicated that the best INH dosing regimens for Korean tuberculosis patients were once-daily doses of 400, 300, and 200 mg for rapid, intermediate, and slow acetylators, respectively. In conclusion, our study provides a step forward in precision dosing for antituberculosis management.

Abstract
Background There is marked interindividual variability in metabolism and resulting toxicity and effectiveness of drugs used for tuberculosis treatment. For isoniazid, mutations in the N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) gene explain >88% of pharmacokinetic variability. However, weight-based dosing remains the norm globally. The potential clinical impact and cost-effectiveness of pharmacogenomic-guided therapy (PGT) are unknown. Methods We constructed a decision tree model to project lifetime costs and benefits of isoniazid PGT for drug-susceptible tuberculosis in Brazil, South Africa, and India. PGT was modeled to reduce isoniazid toxicity among slow NAT2 acetylators and reduce treatment failure among rapid acetylators. The genotyping test was assumed to cost the same as the GeneXpert test. The main outcomes were costs (2018 US dollars), quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios. Results In Brazil, PGT gained 19 discounted life-years (23 QALYs) and cost $11 064 per 1000 patients, a value of $476 per QALY gained. In South Africa, PGT gained 15 life-years (19 QALYs) and cost $33 182 per 1000 patients, a value of $1780 per QALY gained. In India, PGT gained 20 life-years (24 QALYs) and cost $13 195 per 1000 patients, a value of $546 per QALY gained. One-way sensitivity analyses showed the cost-effectiveness to be robust to all input parameters. Probabilistic sensitivity analyses were below per capita gross domestic product in all 3 countries in 99% of simulations. Conclusions Isoniazid PGT improves health outcomes and would be cost-effective in the treatment of drug-susceptible tuberculosis in Brazil, South Africa, and India.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is still the number one cause of death due to an infectious disease. Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of anti-TB drugs are key in the optimization of TB treatment and help to prevent slow response to treatment, acquired drug resistance, and adverse drug effects. The aim of this review was to provide an update on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of anti-TB drugs and to show how population pharmacokinetics and Bayesian dose adjustment can be used to optimize treatment. We cover aspects on preclinical, clinical, and population pharmacokinetics of different drugs used for drug-susceptible TB and multidrug-resistant TB. Moreover, we include available data to support therapeutic drug monitoring of these drugs and known pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic targets that can be used for optimization of therapy. We have identified a wide range of population pharmacokinetic models for first- and second-line drugs used for TB, which included models built on NONMEM, Pmetrics, ADAPT, MWPharm, Monolix, Phoenix, and NPEM2 software. The first population models were built for isoniazid and rifampicin; however, in recent years, more data have emerged for both new anti-TB drugs, but also for defining targets of older anti-TB drugs. Since the introduction of therapeutic drug monitoring for TB over 3 decades ago, further development of therapeutic drug monitoring in TB next steps will again depend on academic and clinical initiatives. We recommend close collaboration between researchers and the World Health Organization to provide important guideline updates regarding therapeutic drug monitoring and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics.

Abstract
AIMS To develop a pharmacokinetic model of isoniazid (INH) concentration taking into account demographic factors and genetic variables [N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) genotype], and to propose an initial INH dosage that could maximize the probability of achieving the desired INH concentration. METHODS A retrospective analysis was undertaken of INH concentration data collected from patients with tuberculosis in Tunisia. RESULTS In total, 118 patients were included in this study. The one-compartment model [volume of distribution (V), elimination rate (Ke)] was found to have good predictive performance. Multi-variate analysis showed that NAT2 affected both V and Ke significantly, but age, gender and weight did not. Internal validation of the final model showed correlation of 0.95 between individual predicted INH concentration 3 h after drug intake (C3) and observed C3. External validation showed that percentage mean absolute prediction error and percentage root mean squared error were 9.11% (range 0.62-35.8%) and 11.6%, respectively. Monte-Carlo simulation showed that doses of at least 225 mg/24 h and at least 450 mg/24 h attained a therapeutic concentration in >80% of patients in the NAT2 slow acetylator group and the NAT2 rapid/intermediate acetylator group, respectively. CONCLUSION The pharmacokinetic model allowed optimization of individual dosing regimens of INH in patients with tuberculosis in Tunisia. This tool may facilitate improved efficacy of INH and prevent its toxicity in this population.

Development of a limited sampling strategy for the estimation of isoniazid exposure considering N-acetyltransferase 2 genotypes in Korean patients with tuberculosis. Tuberculosis (Edinb) 2021; 127:102052. [PMID: 33548864 DOI: 10.1016/j.tube.2021.102052] [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: 09/17/2020] [Revised: 11/30/2020] [Accepted: 01/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
A limited sampling strategy (LSS) to estimate the exposure to isoniazid was developed considering N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) genotypes in Korean patients with tuberculosis. The influence of the genotypes on the pharmacokinetics of isoniazid was also evaluated. A total of 33 participants participated in the study and received isoniazid 300 mg once daily. Evaluable participants consist of ten slow (SA), fourteen intermediate (IA) and six rapid acetylators (RA). As expected, isoniazid exposure was higher (mean AUC, 28.4 versus 7.6 mg*h/L) and systemic clearance lower (mean apparent clearance, 14.8 versus 50.6 L/h) in SAs than RAs. The formulas to estimate isoniazid exposure were constructed using one or more concentration-time points that correlate with the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC). The LSS using a formula of single concentration-time point at 4 h post dose (C4) is applicable for all acetylators to the therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of isoniazid in patients with tuberculosis when evaluated using the Deming regression and Bland-Altman plot (AUC = 1.53 + 10.03*C4, adjusted r2 = 0.95, p < 0.001). Considering that SAs are more prone to adverse effects, pre-dose NAT2 genotyping would be valuable for optimal isoniazid dosing in conjunction with TDM.

Abstract
A regular therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of isoniazid could be useful to predict the acetylation profile and to prescribe doses associated with optimal efficacy and safety. We aimed to assess the usefulness of isoniazid TDM in the Tunisian population, to describe the acetylation profile distribution in this population, and to investigate the influence of certain parameters on acetylation phenotype. We performed a retrospective study including Tunisian patients with tuberculosis underwent an isoniazid TDM. Isoniazid concentrations were measured 3 hours after drug intake (C3 ). Subsequent isoniazid doses were adjusted to maintain the C3 within the recommended target (1-2 µg/mL). Patients were qualified as slow acetylators (SAs) or rapid acetylators (RAs) according to their acetylation index. Among the 255 patients, 58% were SAs and 42% were RAs. Of all patients, only 30.6% had a C3 value within the target range. A dose adjustment has been performed for patients with C3 outside the target range. C3 was controlled in 77 patients. It became within the target range in 39 patients (50.6%). The median recommended isoniazid weight doses for SAs and RAs were 2.1 ± 0.7 mg/kg and 4.2 ± 1.4 mg/kg, respectively. The multivariate analysis showed that body weight, C3, and C3 /isoniazid dose were found to be significantly different between the 2 acetylation groups. In the pediatric group, only 9 had a C3 value within the target range, and all of them were RAs. The irrevocable interest of isoniazid TDM has been shown in Tunisian patients with tuberculosis, in both adult and pediatric patients, as isoniazid demonstrates an unpredictable pharmacokinetic profile.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The N-acetylation polymorphism has been the subject of comprehensive reviews describing the role of arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) in the metabolism of numerous aromatic amine and hydrazine drugs. AREAS COVERED We describe and review data that more clearly defines the effects of NAT2 haplotypes and genotypes on the expression of acetylator phenotype towards selected drugs within human hepatocytes in vitro, within human hepatocyte cultures in situ, and clinical measures such as bioavailability, plasma metabolic ratios of parent to N-acetyl metabolite, elimination rate constants and plasma half-life, and/or clearance determinations in human subjects. We review several drugs (isoniazid, hydralazine, sulfamethazine, amifampridine, procainamide, sulfasalazine, amonafide and metamizole) for which NAT2 phenotype-guided therapy may be important. The value of pharmacogenomics-guided isoniazid therapy for the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis is presented as a paradigm for NAT2 phenotype-dependent dosing strategies. EXPERT OPINION Studies in human subjects and cryopreserved human hepatocytes show evidence for rapid, intermediate and slow acetylator phenotypes, with further data suggesting genetic heterogeneity within the slow acetylator phenotype. Incorporation of more robust NAT2 genotype/phenotypes relationships, including genetic heterogeneity within the slow acetylator phenotype, should lead to further advancements in both health outcomes and cost benefit for prevention and treatment of tuberculosis.

Abstract
N-Acetyltransferases play critical roles in the deactivation and clearance of xenobiotics, including clinical drugs. NAT2 has been classified as an arylamine N-acetyltransferase that mainly converts aromatic amines, hydroxylamines, and hydrazines. Herein, we demonstrate that the human arylamine N-acetyltransferase NAT2 also acetylates aliphatic endogenous amines. Metabolomic analysis and chemical synthesis revealed increased intracellular concentrations of mono- and diacetylated spermidine in human cell lines expressing the rapid compared to the slow acetylator NAT2 phenotype. The regioselective N8 -acetylation of monoacetylated spermidine by NAT2 answers the long-standing question of the source of diacetylspermidine. We also identified selective acetylation of structurally diverse alkylamine-containing drugs by NAT2, which may contribute to variations in patient responses. The results demonstrate a previously unknown functionality and potential regulatory role for NAT2, and we suggest that this enzyme should be considered for re-classification.

Abstract
The distribution of N-acetyltransferase 2 gene (NAT2) polymorphisms varies considerably among different ethnic groups. Information on NAT2 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the South African population is limited. We investigated NAT2 polymorphisms and their effect on isoniazid pharmacokinetics (PK) in Zulu black HIV-infected South Africans in Durban, South Africa. HIV-infected participants with culture-confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) were enrolled from two unrelated studies. Participants with culture-confirmed pulmonary TB were genotyped for the NAT2 polymorphisms 282C>T, 341T>C, 481C>T, 857G>A, 590G>A, and 803A>G using Life Technologies prevalidated TaqMan assays (Life Technologies, Paisley, UK). Participants underwent sampling for determination of plasma isoniazid and N-acetyl-isoniazid concentrations. Among the 120 patients, 63/120 (52.5%) were slow metabolizers (NAT2*5/*5), 43/120 (35.8%) had an intermediate metabolism genotype (NAT2*5/12), and 12/120 (11.7%) had a rapid metabolism genotype (NAT2*4/*11, NAT2*11/12, and NAT2*12/12). The NAT2 alleles evaluated in this study were *4, *5C, *5D, *5E, *5J, *5K, *5KA, *5T, *11A, *12A/12C, and *12M. NAT2*5 was the most frequent allele (70.4%), followed by NAT2*12 (27.9%). Fifty-eight of 60 participants in study 1 had PK results. The median area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity (AUC0-∞) was 5.53 (interquartile range [IQR], 3.63 to 9.12 μg h/ml), and the maximum concentration (C max) was 1.47 μg/ml (IQR, 1.14 to 1.89 μg/ml). Thirty-four of 40 participants in study 2 had both PK results and NAT2 genotyping results. The median AUC0-∞ was 10.76 μg·h/ml (IQR, 8.24 to 28.96 μg·h/ml), and the C max was 3.14 μg/ml (IQR, 2.39 to 4.34 μg/ml). Individual polymorphisms were not equally distributed, with some being represented in small numbers. The genotype did not correlate with the phenotype, with those with a rapid acetylator genotype showing higher AUC0-∞ values than those with a slow acetylator genotype, but the difference was not significant (P = 0.43). There was a high prevalence of slow acetylator genotypes, followed by intermediate and then rapid acetylator genotypes. The poor concordance between genotype and phenotype suggests that other factors or genetic loci influence isoniazid metabolism, and these warrant further investigation in this population.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) remains as one of the world's deadliest infectious diseases despite the use of standardized antibiotic therapies. Recommended therapy for drug-susceptible TB is up to 6 months of antibiotics. Factors that contribute to lengthy regimens include antibiotic underexposure in lesions due to poor pharmacokinetics (PK) and complex granuloma compositions, but it is difficult to quantify how individual antibiotics are affected by these factors and to what extent these impact treatments. We use our next-generation multi-scale computational model to simulate granuloma formation and function together with antibiotic pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, allowing us to predict conditions leading to granuloma sterilization. In this work, we focus on how PK variability, determined from human PK data, and granuloma heterogeneity each quantitatively impact granuloma sterilization. We focus on treatment with the standard regimen for TB of four first-line antibiotics: isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide. We find that low levels of antibiotic concentration due to naturally occurring PK variability and complex granulomas leads to longer granuloma sterilization times. Additionally, the ability of antibiotics to distribute in granulomas and kill different subpopulations of bacteria contributes to their specialization in the more efficacious combination therapy. These results can inform strategies to improve antibiotic therapy for TB.

Population Pharmacokinetic Analysis of Isoniazid among Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients from China. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2020; 64:AAC.01736-19.

Abstract
The blood concentration of isoniazid (INH) is evidently affected by polymorphisms in N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2), an enzyme that is primarily responsible for the trimodal (i.e., fast, intermediate, and slow) INH elimination. The pharmacokinetic (PK) variability, driven largely by NAT2 activity, creates a challenge for the deployment of a uniform INH dosage in tuberculosis (TB) patients. Although acetylator-specific INH dosing has long been suggested, well-recognized dosages according to acetylator status remain elusive. In this study, 175 blood samples were collected from 89 pulmonary TB patients within 0.5 to 6 h after morning INH administration. According to their NAT2 genotypes, 32 (36.0%), 38 (42.7%), and 19 (21.3%) were fast, intermediate, and slow acetylators, respectively. The plasma INH concentration was detected by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Population pharmacokinetic (PPK) analysis was conducted using NONMEM and R software. A two-compartment model with first-order absorption and elimination well described the PK parameters of isoniazid. Body weight and acetylator status significantly affected the INH clearance rate. The dosage simulation targeting three indicators, including the well-recognized efficacy-safety indicator maximum concentration in serum (C max; 3 to 6 μg/ml), the reported area under the concentration-time curve from 0 h to infinity (AUC0-∞; ≥10.52 μg·h/ml), and the 2-h INH serum concentrations (≥2.19 μg/ml), was associated with the strongest early bactericidal activity. The optimal dosages targeting the different indicators varied from 700 to 900 mg/day, 500 to 600 mg/day, and 300 mg/day for the rapid, intermediate, and slow acetylators, respectively. Furthermore, a PPK model for isoniazid among Chinese tuberculosis patients was established for the first time and suggested doses of approximately 800 mg/day, 500 mg/day, and 300 mg/day for fast, intermediate, and slow acetylators, respectively, after a trade-off between efficacy and the occurrence of side effects.

Abstract
SETTING Anti-tuberculosis formulations necessitate uninterrupted treatment to cure tuberculosis (TB), but are characterised by suboptimal adherence, which jeopardises therapeutic efficacy. Long-acting injectable (LAI) formulations or implants could address these associated issues. OBJECTIVE niazid, rifapentine, bedaquiline and delamanid-in adults for treatment for latent tuberculous infection (LTBI). DESIGN PBPK models were developed and qualified against available clinical data by integrating drug physicochemical properties and in vitro and population pharmacokinetic data into a mechanistic description of drug distribution. Combinations of optimal dose and release rates were simulated such that plasma concentrations were maintained over the epidemiological cut-off or minimum inhibitory concentration for the dosing interval. RESULTS The PBPK model identified 1500 mg of delamanid and 250 mg of rifapentine as sufficient doses for monthly intramuscular administration, if a formulation or device can deliver the required release kinetics of 0.001-0.0025 h-1 and 0.0015-0.0025 h-1, respectively. Bedaquiline and isoniazid would require weekly to biweekly intramuscular dosing. CONCLUSION We identified the theoretical doses and release rates of LAI anti-tuberculosis formulations. Such a strategy could ease the problem of suboptimal adherence provided the associated technological complexities for LTBI treatment are addressed.

Abstract
Over the years, numerous studies have supported the premise that individuals possessing the "slow acetylator" phenotype are more at risk from developing drug side-effects. Most prominent amongst these reports are those concerned with hepatotoxicity and peripheral neuropathy following treatment with isoniazid, lupus-like symptoms during procainamide therapy and experiencing hypersensitivity reactions to the various sulphonamide derivatives. Similarly, "slow acetylators" undergoing heavy exposure to arylamines and related carcinogens are more likely to develop bladder cancer. Contrariwise, there appears a slight risk of "rapid acetylators" developing pancreatic tumours.Other therapeutic agents for which polymorphic N-acetylation plays a minor role in their metabolism have been investigated but any impact of this metabolic difference on clinical efficacy or associated toxicity is still under question. In the search for clues as to the underlying aetiology, patient groups with many disease states have been examined for association with differences in N-acetylation and the majority have provided data that could be interpreted as equivocal. Studies have given contradictory, often opposing, results, calculated risk factors that are (perhaps) just significant but certainly not high, and patients within the cohorts who are always exceptions. Undoubtedly, other as yet unappreciated factors are at play.

Abstract
N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) is the main enzyme metabolizing isoniazid and genotype-based treatment has been studied for years without becoming common practice. To investigate whether genotype-based isoniazid treatment is feasible in Greenland, we sequenced the coding sequence of NAT2 and determined the NAT2 enzyme-activity by caffeine test. No additional genetic variants were identified in the coding sequence of NAT2, so that genotype status in 260 study participants could be assessed by a well-established 7-SNP panel. Studying the enzyme activity by the ratio of the two caffeine metabolites AFMU and 1X in 260 participants showed a high rate of slow phenotypes with intermediate or rapid genotype. These misclassifications were mainly observed in urine samples with pH<3, a deviation from the standard protocol due to the field work character of the study, where immediate pH adjustment to pH=3.5 was not possible. We excluded these samples. For the remaining 143 individuals with pH>3, we observed a moderate level of discrepancies (19 of the 116 individuals with intermediate or rapid genotype status having a slow phenotype). Further investigation showed that drinking coffee and not tea or cola was the most important factor for high levels of both metabolites. The concordance between phenotype and genotype status with regard to slow metabolism supported the recommendation of lower isoniazid doses in individuals with slow genotype status in order to avoid liver injury, a frequent side effect. The phenotypical variation observed for individuals with intermediate or rapid genotype status warrants further research before increased dosing of isoniazid can be recommended.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential association between N-acetyltransferase type 2 (NAT2) polymorphisms and drug-induced liver injury during anti-TB treatment (AT-DILI). METHODS We conducted a systematic review and performed a meta-analysis to clarify the role of NAT2 polymorphism in AT-DILI. PubMed, Medline and EMBASE databases were searched for studies published in English to December 31, 2017, on the association between the NAT2 polymorphism and AT-DILI risk. Outcomes were pooled with random-effects meta-analysis. Details were registered in the PROSPERO register (number: CRD42016051722). RESULTS Thirty-seven studies involving 1527 cases and 7184 controls were included in this meta-analysis. The overall odds ratio (OR) of AT-DILI associated with NAT2 slow acetylator phenotype was 3.15 (95% CI 2.58-3.84, I2 = 51.3%, P = 0.000). The OR varied between different ethnic populations, ranging from 6.42 (95% CI 2.41-17.10, I2 = 2.3%) for the West Asian population to 2.32 (95% CI 0.58-9.24, I2 = 80.3%) for the European population. Within the slow NAT2 genotype, variation was also observed; NAT2*6/*7 was associated with the highest risk of AT-DILI (OR = 1.68, 95% CI 1.09-2.59) compared to the other slow NAT2 acetylators combined. CONCLUSIONS NAT2 slow acetylation was observed to increase the risk of AT-DILI in tuberculosis patients. Our results support the hypothesis that the slow NAT2 genotype is a risk factor for AT-DILI.

Abstract
Hepatotoxicity induced by antituberculosis drugs is a serious adverse reaction with significant morbidity and even, rarely, mortality. This form of toxicity potentially impacts the treatment outcome of tuberculosis in some patients. Covering only first-line antituberculosis drugs, this review addresses whether and how oxidative stress and, more broadly, disturbance in redox homeostasis alongside mitochondrial dysfunction may contribute to the hepatotoxicity induced by them. Risk factors for such toxicity that have been identified, in addition to genetic factors, principally include old age, malnutrition, alcoholism, chronic hepatitis C and chronic hepatitis B infection, HIV infection, and preexisting liver disease. Importantly, these comorbid conditions are associated with oxidative stress. Thus, the shared pathogenetic mechanism(s) for liver injury might be in operation due to disease-drug interaction. Our current ability to predict, prevent, or treat hepatotoxicity (other than removing potentially hepatotoxic drugs) remains limited. More translational research to unravel the pathogenesis, inclusive of the underlying molecular basis, regarding antituberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity is needed, and so is clinical research pertaining to the advances in therapy with antioxidants and drugs related to antioxidants, especially those for management of mitochondrial dysfunction. The role of pharmacogenetics in the clinical management of drug-induced hepatotoxicity also likely merits further evaluation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human response to the antidiabetic metformin is influenced by some factors, such as genetic variants in the SLC22A genes. This study aimed to determine the frequency of main SLC22A1 and SLC22A3 genetic variants and their influence on metformin pharmacokinetics among healthy unrelated Arab Jordanians. PATIENTS AND METHODS The SLC22A1 and SLC22A3 genes were genotyped by DNA sequencing of exons 1, 3, 7, and 9 in the SLC22A1 gene and exons 6, 7, and 9 in the SLC22A3 gene. Then, a clinical pharmacokinetic study was conducted on 26 healthy volunteers. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using non-compartmental model analysis. The study was an open-label, randomized study with single 1000 mg metformin administration. RESULTS Results showed that volunteers with SLC22A3 rs8187722 variant had higher (χ2, p<0.05) metformin Cmax and AUC values than the wild SLC22A3 volunteers, whereas T½ and Kel were not affected. In addition, volunteers with the heterozygote SLC22A3 rs2292334 variant had significantly higher (χ2, p<0.05) metformin Cmax and AUC and lower Kel values than the wild-type SLC22A3 genotype. CONCLUSIONS The SLC22A3 rs8187722 and rs2292334 genetic variants affected metformin pharmacokinetics among a clinical sample of Jordanians. The findings may increase our understanding of the inter-individual and inter-ethnic variations in metformin response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) metabolize several drugs including isoniazid. We investigated the effect of genotype, geographical difference, and smoking habit on NAT2 phenotype in Ethiopians. METHODS Genotyping for NAT2 191G > A, 341 T > C, 590G > A, and 857G > A was performed in 163 unrelated healthy Ethiopians (85 living in Ethiopia and 78 living in Sweden). The NAT2 phenotype was determined using caffeine as a probe and log AFMU/(AFMU + 1X + 1 U) urinary metabolic ratio (MR) as an index. RESULTS The frequencies of NAT2*4, *5, *6, *7, and *14 haplotypes were 14.1, 48.5, 30.1, 5.5, and 1.8%, respectively. The frequencies of rapid (NAT2*4/*4), intermediate (heterozygous *4), and slow (no *4 allele) acetylator genotypes were 1.8, 24.6, and 73.6%, respectively. The distribution NAT2 MR was bimodal with 70% being phenotypically slow acetylators. NAT2 genotype (p < 0.0001) and country of residence (p = 0.004) independently predicted NAT2 phenotype. Controlling for the effect of genotype, ethnic Ethiopians living in Ethiopia had significantly higher NAT2 MR than those living in Sweden (p = 0.006). NAT2 genotype-phenotype concordance rate was 75%. Distinct country-of-residence-based genotype-phenotype discordance was observed. The proportion of phenotypically determined rapid acetylators was significantly higher and slow acetylators was lower in Ethiopians living in Ethiopia (39% rapid, 61% slow) than in Sweden (20% rapid, 80% slow). Sex and smoking had no significant effect on NAT2 MR. CONCLUSIONS We report a high prevalence of NAT 2 slow acetylators in Ethiopians and a conditional NAT2 genotype-phenotype discordance implicating a partial phenotype conversion and metabolic adaptation. Gene-environment interactions regulate NAT2 phenotype.
