Abstract
BACKGROUND In clinical practice, the vast array of potential drug combinations necessitates swift and accurate assessments of pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions (DDIs), along with recommendations for adjustments. Current methodologies for clinical DDI evaluations primarily rely on basic extrapolations from clinical trial data. However, these methods are limited in accuracy owing to their lack of a comprehensive consideration of various critical factors, including the inhibitory potency, dosage, and type of the inhibitor, as well as the metabolic fraction and intestinal availability of the substrate. OBJECTIVE This study aims to propose an efficient and accurate clinical pharmacokinetic-mediated DDI assessment tool, which comprehensively considers the effects of inhibitory potency and dosage of inhibitors, intestinal availability and fraction metabolized of substrates on DDI outcomes. METHODS This study focuses on DDIs caused by cytochrome P450 3A4 enzyme inhibition, utilizing extensive clinical trial data to establish a methodology to calculate the metabolic fraction and intestinal availability for substrates, as well as the concentration and inhibitory potency for inhibitors ( K i ork inact / K I ). These parameters were then used to predict the outcomes of DDIs involving 33 substrates and 20 inhibitors. We also defined the risk index for substrates and the potency index for inhibitors to establish a clinical DDI risk scale. The training set for parameter calculation consisted of 73 clinical trials. The validation set comprised 89 clinical DDI trials involving 53 drugs. which was used to evaluate the reliability of in vivo values of K i andk inact / K I , the accuracy of DDI predictions, and the false-negative rate of risk scale. RESULTS First, the reliability of the in vivo K i andk inact / K I values calculated in this study was assessed using a basic static model. Compared with values obtained from other methods, this study values showed a lower geometric mean fold error and root mean square error. Additionally, incorporating these values into the physiologically based pharmacokinetic-DDI model facilitated a good fitting of the C-t curves when the substrate's metabolic enzymes are inhibited. Second, area under the curve ratio predictions of studied drugs were within a 1.5 × margin of error in 81% of cases compared with clinical observations in the validation set. Last, the clinical DDI risk scale developed in this study predicted the actual risks in the validation set with only a 5.6% incidence of serious false negatives. CONCLUSIONS This study offers a rapid and accurate approach for assessing the risk of pharmacokinetic-mediated DDIs in clinical practice, providing a foundation for rational combination drug use and dosage adjustments.

Abstract
Enzyme-mediated pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions can be caused by altered activity of drug metabolizing enzymes in the presence of a perpetrator drug, mostly via inhibition or induction. We identified a gap in the literature for a state-of-the art detailed overview assessing this type of DDI risk in the context of drug development. This manuscript discusses in vitro and in vivo methodologies employed during the drug discovery and development process to predict clinical enzyme-mediated DDIs, including the determination of clearance pathways, metabolic enzyme contribution, and the mechanisms and kinetics of enzyme inhibition and induction. We discuss regulatory guidance and highlight the utility of in silico physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling, an approach that continues to gain application and traction in support of regulatory filings. Looking to the future, we consider DDI risk assessment for targeted protein degraders, an emerging small molecule modality, which does not have recommended guidelines for DDI evaluation. Our goal in writing this report was to provide early-career researchers with a comprehensive view of the enzyme-mediated pharmacokinetic DDI landscape to aid their drug development efforts.

Eur J Clin Pharmacol 2024; 80:1069-1078. [PMID: 38546841 PMCID: PMC11156719 DOI: 10.1007/s00228-024-03673-x] [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: 12/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Adefovir (as dipivoxil) was selected as a probe drug in a previous transporter cocktail phenotyping study to assess renal organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1), with renal clearance (CLR) as the primary parameter describing renal elimination. An approximately 20% higher systemic exposure of adefovir was observed when combined with other cocktail components (metformin, sitagliptin, pitavastatin, and digoxin) compared to sole administration. The present evaluation applied a population pharmacokinetic (popPK) modeling approach to describe adefovir pharmacokinetics as a cocktail component in more detail. METHODS Data from 24 healthy subjects were reanalyzed. After establishing a base model, covariate effects, including the impact of co-administered drugs, were assessed using forward inclusion then backward elimination. RESULTS A one-compartment model with first-order absorption (including lag time) and a combination of nonlinear renal and linear nonrenal elimination best described the data. A significantly higher apparent bioavailability (73.6% vs. 59.0%) and a lower apparent absorption rate constant (2.29 h-1 vs. 5.18 h-1) were identified in the combined period compared to the sole administration period, while no difference was seen in renal elimination. The population estimate for the Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) of the nonlinear renal elimination was 170 nmol/L, exceeding the observed range of adefovir plasma maximum concentration, while the maximum rate (Vmax) of nonlinear renal elimination was 2.40 µmol/h at the median absolute estimated glomerular filtration rate of 105 mL/min. CONCLUSION The popPK modeling approach indicated that the co-administration primarily affected the apparent absorption and/or prodrug conversion of adefovir dipivoxil, resulting in the minor drug-drug interaction observed for adefovir as a victim. However, renal elimination remained unaffected. The high Km value suggests that assessing renal OAT1 activity by CLR has no relevant misspecification error with the cocktail doses used.

Drug interaction potential of high-dose rifampicin in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2023; 67:e0068323.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence supports the use of higher doses of rifampicin for tuberculosis (TB) treatment. Rifampicin is a potent inducer of metabolic enzymes and drug transporters, resulting in clinically relevant drug interactions. To assess the drug interaction potential of higher doses of rifampicin, we compared the effect of high-dose rifampicin (40 mg/kg daily, RIF40) and standard-dose rifampicin (10 mg/kg daily, RIF10) on the activities of major cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes and P-glycoprotein (P-gp). In this open-label, single-arm, two-period, fixed-order phenotyping cocktail study, adult participants with pulmonary TB received RIF10 (days 1-15), followed by RIF40 (days 16-30). A single dose of selective substrates (probe drugs) was administered orally on days 15 and 30: caffeine (CYP1A2), tolbutamide (CYP2C9), omeprazole (CYP2C19), dextromethorphan (CYP2D6), midazolam (CYP3A), and digoxin (P-gp). Intensive pharmacokinetic blood sampling was performed over 24 hours after probe drug intake. In all, 25 participants completed the study. Geometric mean ratios (90% confidence interval) of the total exposure (area under the concentration versus time curve, RIF40 versus RIF10) for each of the probe drugs were as follows: caffeine, 105% (96%-115%); tolbutamide, 80% (74%-86%); omeprazole, 55% (47%-65%); dextromethorphan, 77% (68%-86%); midazolam, 62% (49%-78%), and 117% (105%-130%) for digoxin. In summary, high-dose rifampicin resulted in no additional effect on CYP1A2, mild additional induction of CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A, and marginal inhibition of P-gp. Existing recommendations on managing drug interactions with rifampicin can remain unchanged for the majority of co-administered drugs when using high-dose rifampicin. Clinical Trials registration number NCT04525235.

Abstract
Interethnic and interindividual variability in in vivo cytochrome P450 (CYP450)-dependent metabolism and altered drug absorption via expressed transport channels such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp) contribute to the adverse drug reactions, drug-drug interaction and therapeutic failure seen in clinical practice. A cost-effective phenotyping approach could be advantageous in providing real-time information on in vivo phenotypes to assist clinicians with individualized drug therapy, especially in resource-constrained countries such as South Africa. A number of phenotyping cocktails have been developed and the aim of this study was to critically assess the feasibility of their use in a South African context. A literature search on library databases (including AccessMedicine, BMJ, ClinicalKey, MEDLINE (Ovid), PubMed, Scopus and TOXLINE) was limited to in vivo cocktails used in the human population to phenotype phase I metabolism and/or P-gp transport. The study found that the implementation of phenotyping in clinical practice is currently limited by multiple administration routes, the varying availability of probe drugs, therapeutic doses eliciting side effects, the interaction between probe drugs and extensive sampling procedures. Analytical challenges include complicated sample workup or extraction assays and impractical analytical procedures with low detection limits, analyte sensitivity and specificity. It was concluded that a single time point, non-invasive capillary sampling, combined with a low-dose probe drug cocktail, to simultaneously quantify in vivo drug and metabolite concentrations, would enhance the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of routine phenotyping in clinical practice; however, future research is needed to establish whether the quantitative bioanalysis of drugs in a capillary whole-blood matrix correlates with that of the standard plasma/serum matrixes used as a reference in the current clinical environment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cocktails of transporter probe drugs are used in vivo to assess transporter activity and respective drug-drug interactions. An inhibitory effect of components on transporter activities should be ruled out. Here, for a clinically tested cocktail consisting of adefovir, digoxin, metformin, sitagliptin, and pitavastatin, inhibition of major transporters by individual probe substrates was investigated in vitro. METHODS Transporter transfected HEK293 cells were used in all evaluations. Cell-based assays were applied for uptake by human organic cation transporters 1/2 (hOCT1/2), organic anion transporters 1/3 (hOAT1/3), multidrug and toxin extrusion proteins 1/2K (hMATE1/2K), and organic anion transporter polypeptide 1B1 (hOATP1B1). For P-glycoprotein (hMDR1) a cell-based efflux assay was used whereas an inside-out vesicle-based assay was used for the bile salt export pump (hBSEP). All assays used standard substrates and established inhibitors (as positive controls). Inhibition experiments using clinically achievable concentrations of potential perpetrators at the relevant transporter expression site were carried out initially. If there was a significant effect, the inhibition potency (Ki) was studied in detail. RESULTS In the inhibition tests, only sitagliptin had an effect and reduced hOCT1- and hOCT2- mediated metformin uptake and hMATE2K mediated MPP+ uptake by more than 70%, 80%, and 30%, respectively. The ratios of unbound Cmax (observed clinically) to Ki of sitagliptin were low with 0.009, 0.03, and 0.001 for hOCT1, hOCT2, and hMATE2K, respectively. CONCLUSION The inhibition of hOCT2 in vitro by sitagliptin is in agreement with the borderline inhibition of renal metformin elimination observed clinically, supporting a dose reduction of sitagliptin in the cocktail.

Abstract
Glycochenodeoxycholate-3-sulfate (GCDCA-S) and chenodeoxycholate-24-glucuronide (CDCA-24G) are bile acid metabolites that potentially serve as endogenous biomarkers for drug-drug interactions mediated by the hepatic uptake transporters OATP1B1 and OATP1B3. We developed and validated a novel UHPLC-MS/MS method for the quantitative determination of GCDCA-S and CDCA-24G in mouse and human plasma with a lower limit of quantitation of 0.5 ng/mL. Chromatographic separation was achieved on an Accucore aQ column (50 mm × 2.1 mm, dp = 2.6 μm) maintained at 20 °C and a gradient mobile phase comprising 2 mM ammonium acetate in water and methanol. The extraction recoveries of GCDCA-S and CDCA-24G were >80 %, and linear (r2 > 0.99) calibration curves ranged 0.5-100 ng/mL (CDCA-24G and GCDCA-S in mouse plasma) or 0.5-1000 ng/mL (GCDCA-S in mouse plasma). Values for precision (CV < 11.6 %) and accuracy bias (10.9 %) of analyte-spiked quality control samples verified that water was an acceptable matrix to prepare calibrators. This method was successfully applied to establish baseline activity of OATP1B1/OATP1B3 in humans and mice and establish the in vivo effects of OATP1B1/OATP1B3 inhibitors rifampin and micafungin.

Abstract
The efficacy and safety of drugs are widely known to be determined by their interactions with multiple molecules of pharmacological importance, and it is therefore essential to systematically depict the molecular atlas and pharma-information of studied drugs. However, our understanding of such information is neither comprehensive nor precise, which necessitates the construction of a new database providing a network containing a large number of drugs and their interacting molecules. Here, a new database describing the molecular atlas and pharma-information of drugs (DrugMAP) was therefore constructed. It provides a comprehensive list of interacting molecules for >30 000 drugs/drug candidates, gives the differential expression patterns for >5000 interacting molecules among different disease sites, ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion)-relevant organs and physiological tissues, and weaves a comprehensive and precise network containing >200 000 interactions among drugs and molecules. With the great efforts made to clarify the complex mechanism underlying drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics and rapidly emerging interests in artificial intelligence (AI)-based network analyses, DrugMAP is expected to become an indispensable supplement to existing databases to facilitate drug discovery. It is now fully and freely accessible at: https://idrblab.org/drugmap/.

Abstract
GSK3640254 is an HIV-1 maturation inhibitor (MI) that exhibits significantly improved antiviral activity toward a range of clinically relevant polymorphic variants with reduced sensitivity toward the second-generation MI GSK3532795 (BMS-955176). The key structural difference between GSK3640254 and its predecessor is the replacement of the para-substituted benzoic acid moiety attached at the C-3 position of the triterpenoid core with a cyclohex-3-ene-1-carboxylic acid substituted with a CH2F moiety at the carbon atom α- to the pharmacophoric carboxylic acid. This structural element provided a new vector with which to explore structure-activity relationships (SARs) and led to compounds with improved polymorphic coverage while preserving pharmacokinetic (PK) properties. The approach to the design of GSK3640254, the development of a synthetic route and its preclinical profile are discussed. GSK3640254 is currently in phase IIb clinical trials after demonstrating a dose-related reduction in HIV-1 viral load over 7-10 days of dosing to HIV-1-infected subjects.

A Metabolomics Approach for Predicting OATP1B-Type Transporter-Mediated Drug–Drug Interaction Liabilities. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14091933. [PMID: 36145680 PMCID: PMC9502272 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14091933] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2022] [Revised: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 09/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
In recent years, various endogenous compounds have been proposed as putative biomarkers for the hepatic uptake transporters OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 that have the potential to predict transporter-mediated drug–drug interactions (DDIs). However, these compounds have often been identified from top–down strategies and have not been fully utilized as a substitute for traditional DDI studies. In an attempt to eliminate observer bias in biomarker selection, we applied a bottom–up, untargeted metabolomics screening approach in mice and found that plasma levels of the conjugated bile acid chenodeoxycholate-24-glucuronide (CDCA-24G) are particularly sensitive to deletion of the orthologous murine transporter Oatp1b2 (31-fold increase vs. wild type) or the entire Oatp1a/1b(−/−)cluster (83-fold increased), whereas the humanized transgenic overexpression of hepatic OATP1B1 or OATP1B3 resulted in the partial restoration of transport function. Validation studies with the OATP1B1/OATP1B3 inhibitors rifampin and paclitaxel in vitro as well as in mice and human subjects confirmed that CDCA-24G is a sensitive and rapid response biomarker to dose-dependent transporter inhibition. Collectively, our study confirmed the ability of CDCA-24G to serve as a sensitive and selective endogenous biomarker of OATP1B-type transport function and suggests a template for the future development of biomarkers for other clinically important xenobiotic transporters.

Abstract
Human cytochrome P450 CYP3A4 is involved in the processing of more than 35% of current pharmaceuticals and therefore is responsible for multiple drug-drug interactions (DDI). In order to develop a method for the detection and prediction of the possible involvement of new drug candidates in CYP3A4-mediated DDI, we evaluated the application of midazolam (MDZ) as a probe substrate. MDZ is hydroxylated by CYP3A4 in two positions: 1-hydroxy MDZ formed at lower substrate concentrations, and up to 35% of 4-hydroxy MDZ at high concentrations. The ratio of the formation rates of these two products (the site of metabolism ratio, SOM) was used as a measure of allosteric heterotropic interactions caused by effector molecules using CYP3A4 incorporated in lipid nanodiscs. The extent of the changes in the SOM in the presence of effectors is determined by chemical structure and is concentration-dependent. MD simulations of CYP3A4 in the lipid bilayer suggest that experimental results can be explained by the movement of the F-F' loop and concomitant changes in the shape and volume of the substrate-binding pocket. As a result of PGS binding at the allosteric site, several residues directly contacting MDZ move away from the substrate molecule, enabling the repositioning of the latter for minor product formation.

Abstract
Drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs), a diverse group of enzymes responsible for the metabolic elimination of drugs and other xenobiotics, have been recognized as the critical determinants to drug safety and efficacy. Deciphering and understanding the key roles of individual DMEs in drug metabolism and toxicity, as well as characterizing the interactions of central DMEs with xenobiotics require reliable, practical and highly specific tools for sensing the activities of these enzymes in biological systems. In the last few decades, the scientists have developed a variety of optical substrates for sensing human DMEs, parts of them have been successfully used for studying target enzyme(s) in tissue preparations and living systems. Herein, molecular design principals and recent advances in the development and applications of optical substrates for human DMEs have been reviewed systematically. Furthermore, the challenges and future perspectives in this field are also highlighted. The presented information offers a group of practical approaches and imaging tools for sensing DMEs activities in complex biological systems, which strongly facilitates high-throughput screening the modulators of target DMEs and studies on drug/herb‒drug interactions, as well as promotes the fundamental researches for exploring the relevance of DMEs to human diseases and drug treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Background: Ageing and chronic kidney disease (CKD) affect pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters. Since mechanisms are related and remain unclear, cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A and drug transporter activities were investigated in the elderly with or without CKD and compared to healthy adults using a microdose cocktail. Methods: Healthy young participants (n = 20), healthy elderly participants (n = 16) and elderly patients with CKD (n = 17) received, in study period 1, a single dose of microdose cocktail probe containing 30 µg midazolam, 750 µg dabigatran etexilate, 100 µg atorvastatin, 10 µg pitavastatin, and 50 µg rosuvastatin. After a 14-day wash-out period, healthy young participants continued to study period 2 with the microdose cocktail plus rifampicin. PK parameters including area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC), maximum plasma drug concentration (Cmax), and half-life were estimated before making pairwise comparisons of geometric mean ratios (GMR) between groups. Results: AUC and Cmax GMR (95% confidence interval; CI) of midazolam, a CYP3A probe substrate, were increased 2.30 (1.70-3.09) and 2.90 (2.16-3.88) fold in healthy elderly and elderly patients with CKD, respectively, together with a prolonged half-life. AUC and Cmax GMR (95%CI) of atorvastatin, another CYP3A substrate, was increased 2.14 (1.52-3.02) fold in healthy elderly and 4.15 (2.98-5.79) fold in elderly patients with CKD, indicating decreased CYP3A activity related to ageing. Associated AUC changes in the probe drug whose activity could be modified by intestinal P-glycoprotein (P-gp) activity, dabigatran etexilate, were observed in patients with CKD. However, whether the activity of pitavastatin and rosuvastatin is modified by organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B (OATP1B) and of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), respectively, in elderly participants with or without CKD was inconclusive. Conclusions: CYP3A activity is reduced in ageing. Intestinal P-gp function might be affected by CKD, but further confirmation appears warranted.

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

Abstract
Disease-drug-drug interactions (DDDIs) have been identified in some inflammatory diseases in which elevated proinflammatory cytokines can downregulate the expression of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, potentially increasing systemic exposure to drugs metabolized by CYPs. Following anti-inflammatory treatments, CYP expression may return to normal, resulting in reduced drug exposure and diminished clinical efficacy. Vedolizumab has a well-established positive benefit-risk profile in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) and has no known systemic immunosuppressive activity. A stepwise assessment was conducted to evaluate the DDDI potential of vedolizumab to impact exposure to drugs metabolized by CYP3A through cytokine modulation. First, a review of published data revealed that patients with UC or CD have elevated cytokine concentrations relative to healthy subjects; however, these concentrations remained below those reported to impact CYP expression. Exposure to drugs metabolized via CYP3A also appeared comparable between patients and healthy subjects. Second, serum samples from patients with UC or CD who received vedolizumab for 52 weeks were analyzed and compared with healthy subjects. Cytokine concentrations and the 4β-hydroxycholesterol-to-cholesterol ratio, an endogenous CYP3A4 biomarker, were comparable between healthy subjects and patients both before and during vedolizumab treatment. Finally, a medical review of postmarketing DDDI cases related to vedolizumab from the past 6 years was conducted and did not show evidence of any true DDDIs. Our study demonstrated the lack of clinically meaningful effects of disease or vedolizumab treatment on the exposure to drugs metabolized via CYP3A through cytokine modulation in patients with UC or CD.

Abstract
CYP1A2, as one of the most important cytochrome P450 isoforms, is involved in the biotransformation of many important endogenous and exogenous substances. CYP1A2 also plays an important role in the development of many diseases because it is involved in the biotransformation of precancerous substances and poisons. Although the generation of Cyp1a2 knockout (KO) mouse model has been reported, there are still no relevant rat models for the study of CYP1A2-mediated pharmacokinetics and diseases. In this report, CYP1A2 KO rat model was established successfully by CRISPR/Cas9 without any detectable off-target effect. Compared with wild-type rats, this model showed a loss of CYP1A2 protein expression in the liver. The results of pharmacokinetics in vivo and incubation in vitro of specific substrates of CYP1A2 confirmed the lack of function of CYP1A2 in KO rats. In further studies of potential compensatory effects, we found that CYP1A1 was significantly upregulated, and CYP2E1, CYP3A2, and liver X receptor β were downregulated in KO rats. In addition, CYP1A2 KO rats exhibited a significant increase in serum cholesterol and free testosterone accompanied by mild liver damage and lipid deposition, suggesting that CYP1A2 deficiency affects lipid metabolism and liver function to a certain extent. In summary, we successfully constructed the CYP1A2 KO rat model, which provides a useful tool for studying the metabolic function and physiologic function of CYP1A2. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Human CYP1A2 not only metabolizes clinical drugs and pollutants but also mediates the biotransformation of endogenous substances and plays an important role in the development of many diseases. However, there are no relevant CYP1A2 rat models for the research of pharmacokinetics and diseases. This study successfully established CYP1A2 knockout rat model by using CRISPR/Cas9. This rat model provides a powerful tool to study the function of CYP1A2 in drug metabolism and diseases.

A simple method to measure sulfonation in man using paracetamol as probe drug. Sci Rep 2021; 11:9036.

Abstract
Sulfotransferase enzymes (SULT) catalyse sulfoconjugation of drugs, as well as endogenous mediators, gut microbiota metabolites and environmental xenobiotics. To address the limited evidence on sulfonation activity from clinical research, we developed a clinical metabolic phenotyping method using paracetamol as a probe substrate. Our aim was to estimate sulfonation capability of phenolic compounds and study its intraindividual variability in man. A total of 36 healthy adult volunteers (12 men, 12 women and 12 women on oral contraceptives) received paracetamol in a 1 g-tablet formulation on three separate occasions. Paracetamol and its metabolites were measured in plasma and spot urine samples using liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry. A metabolic ratio (Paracetamol Sulfonation Index—PSI) was used to estimate phenol SULT activity. PSI showed low intraindividual variability, with a good correlation between values in plasma and spot urine samples. Urinary PSI was independent of factors not related to SULT activity, such as urine pH or eGFR. Gender and oral contraceptive intake had no impact on PSI. Our SULT phenotyping method is a simple non-invasive procedure requiring urine spot samples, using the safe and convenient drug paracetamol as a probe substrate, and with low intraindividual coefficient of variation. Although it will not give us mechanistic information, it will provide us an empirical measure of an individual’s sulfonator status. To the best of our knowledge, our method provides the first standardised in vivo empirical measure of an individual’s phenol sulfonation capability and of its intraindividual variability.

Abstract
The popularity of botanical and other purported medicinal natural products (NPs) continues to grow, especially among patients with chronic illnesses and patients managed on complex prescription drug regimens. With few exceptions, the risk of a given NP to precipitate a clinically significant pharmacokinetic NP-drug interaction (NPDI) remains understudied or unknown. Application of static or dynamic mathematical models to predict and/or simulate NPDIs can provide critical information about the potential clinical significance of these complex interactions. However, methods used to conduct such predictions or simulations are highly variable. Additionally, published reports using mathematical models to interrogate NPDIs are not always sufficiently detailed to ensure reproducibility. Consequently, guidelines are needed to inform the conduct and reporting of these modeling efforts. This recommended approach from the Center of Excellence for Natural Product Drug Interaction Research describes a systematic method for using mathematical models to interpret the interaction risk of NPs as precipitants of potential clinically significant pharmacokinetic NPDIs. A framework for developing and applying pharmacokinetic NPDI models is presented with the aim of promoting accuracy, reproducibility, and generalizability in the literature. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Many natural products (NPs) contain phytoconstituents that can increase or decrease systemic or tissue exposure to, and potentially the efficacy of, a pharmaceutical drug; however, no regulatory agency guidelines exist to assist in predicting the risk of these complex interactions. This recommended approach from a multi-institutional consortium designated by National Institutes of Health as the Center of Excellence for Natural Product Drug Interaction Research provides a framework for modeling pharmacokinetic NP-drug interactions.

Multifaceted Factors Causing Conflicting Outcomes in Herb-Drug Interactions. Pharmaceutics 2020; 13:pharmaceutics13010043.

Abstract
Metabolic enzyme and/or transporter-mediated pharmacokinetic (PK) changes in a drug caused by concomitant herbal products have been a primary issue of herb and drug interactions (HDIs), because PK changes of a drug may result in the alternation of efficacy and toxicity. Studies on HDIs have been carried out by predictive in vitro and in vivo preclinical studies, and clinical trials. Nevertheless, the discrepancies between predictive data and the clinical significance on HDIs still exist, and different reports of HDIs add to rather than clarify the confusion regarding the use of herbal products and drug combinations. Here, we briefly review the underlying mechanisms causing PK-based HDIs, and more importantly summarize challenging issues, such as dose and treatment period effects, to be considered in study designs and interpretations of HDI evaluations.

Abstract
Failure to recognize important features of a drug's pharmacokinetic characteristics is a key cause of inappropriate dose and schedule selection, and can lead to reduced efficacy and increased rate of adverse drug reactions requiring medical intervention. As oral chemotherapeutic agents, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are particularly prone to cause drug-drug interactions as many drugs in this class are known or suspected to potently inhibit the hepatic uptake transporters OATP1B1 and OATP1B3. In this article, we provide a comprehensive overview of the published literature and publicly-available regulatory documents in this rapidly emerging field. Our findings indicate that, while many TKIs can potentially inhibit the function of OATP1B1 and/or OATP1B3 and cause clinically-relevant drug-drug interactions, there are many inconsistencies between regulatory documents and the published literature. Potential explanations for these discrepant observations are provided in order to assist prescribing clinicians in designing safe and effective polypharmacy regimens, and to provide researchers with insights into refining experimental strategies to further predict and define the translational significance of TKI-mediated drug-drug interactions.

Abstract
Effects of different genotypes on the pharmacokinetics of probe substrates may support their use as phenotyping agents for the activity of the respective enzyme or transporter. Digoxin is recommended as a probe substrate to assess the activity of the transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in humans. Current studies on the individual effects of three commonly investigated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the ABCB1 gene encoding P-gp (C1236T, G2677T/A, and C3435T) on digoxin pharmacokinetics are inconclusive. Since SNPs are in incomplete linkage disequilibrium, considering combinations of these SNPs might be necessary to assess the role of polymorphisms in digoxin pharmacokinetics accurately. In this study, the relationship between SNP combinations and digoxin pharmacokinetics was explored via a population pharmacokinetic approach in 40 volunteers who received oral doses of 0.5 mg digoxin. Concerning the SNPs 1236/2677/3435, the following combinations were evaluated: CGC, CGT, and TTT. Carriers of CGC/CGT and TTT/TTT had 35% higher apparent bioavailability compared to the reference group CGC/CGC, while no difference was seen in CGC/TTT carriers. No significant effect on renal clearance was observed. The population pharmacokinetic model supports the use of oral digoxin as a phenotyping substrate of intestinal P-gp, but not to assess renal P-gp activity.

Abstract
The extent of a drug-drug interaction (DDI) mediated by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A inhibitors is highly variable during a dosing interval, as it depends on the temporal course of victim and perpetrator drug concentrations at intestinal and hepatic CYP3A expression sites. Capturing the time course of inhibition is therefore difficult using standard DDI studies assessing changes in area under the curve; thus, a novel design was developed. In a 4-period changeover pilot study, 6 healthy men received intraduodenal or intravenous infusions of the CYP3A substrate midazolam (MDZ) at a rate of 0.26 mg/h for 24 hours. This was combined with intraduodenal or intravenous infusion of the CYP3A inhibitor voriconazole (VRZ), administered at rates of 7.5 mg/h from 8 to 16 hours and of 15 mg/h from 16 to 24 hours, after starting midazolam administration. Plasma and urine concentrations of VRZ, MDZ, and its major metabolites were quantified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and analyzed by semiphysiological population pharmacokinetic nonlinear mixed-effects modeling. A model including mechanism-based inactivation of the metabolizing enzymes (maximum inactivation rate constant kinact , 2.83 h-1 ; dissociation rate constant K I , 9.33 μM) described the pharmacokinetics of VRZ well. By introducing competitive inhibition by VRZ on primary and secondary MDZ metabolism, concentration-time profiles, MDZ and its metabolites were captured appropriately. The model provides estimates of local concentrations of substrate and inhibitor at the major CYP3A expression sites and thus of the respective dynamic extent of inhibition. A combination of intravenous and intraduodenal infusions of inhibitors and substrates has the potential to provide a more accurate assessment of DDIs occurring in both gut wall and liver.

Abstract
Systemic exposure of a drug is generally associated with its pharmacodynamic (PD) effect (e.g., efficacy and toxicity). In this regard, the change in area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of a drug, representing its systemic exposure, has been mainly considered in evaluation of drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Besides the systemic exposure, the drug concentration in the tissues has emerged as a factor to alter the PD effects. In this review, the status of systemic exposure, and/or tissue exposure changes in DDIs, were discussed based on the recent reports dealing with transporters and/or metabolic enzymes mediating DDIs. Particularly, the tissue concentration in the intestine, liver and kidney were referred to as important factors of PK-based DDIs.

Abstract
Micro-organisms are often subjected to stressful conditions. Owing to their capacity to adapt, they try to rapidly cope with the unfavorable conditions by lowering their growth rate, changing their morphology, and developing altered metabolite production and other stress-related metabolism. The stress-related metabolism of the cells which interrupted their growth is often referred to as resting metabolism and can be exploit for specific and high rate production of secondary metabolites. Although the bacterial resting cell process has been described decades ago, we find it worthwhile to bring the process under renewed attention and refer to this type of processes as non-growing metabolically active (NGMA) cell processes. Despite their use may sound counterproductive, NGMA cells can be of interest to increase substrate conversion rates or enable conversion of certain substrates, not accessible to growing cells due to their bacteriostatic nature or requirement of resistance to a multitude of different stress mechanisms. Biomass reuse is an interesting feature to improve the economics of NGMA cell processes. Yet, for lipophilic compounds or compounds with low solubility, biomass separation can be delicate. This review draws the attention on existing examples of NGMA cell processes, summarizing some developmental tools and highlighting drawbacks and opportunities, to answer the research question if NGMA cells can have a distinct added value in industry. Particular elaboration is made on a novel and more broadly applicable strategy to enable biomass reuse for conversions of compounds with low solubility.

Abstract
Hepatic drug metabolism is a major route of drug elimination, mediated by multiple drug-metabolizing enzymes. Any changes in the rate and extent of hepatic drug metabolism can lead to altered drug efficacy or toxicity. Accumulating clinical evidence indicates that pregnancy is accompanied by changes in hepatic drug metabolism. In this article, we discuss in vitro and in vivo tools used to study the mechanisms underlying the altered drug metabolism during pregnancy, focusing on primary hepatocyte culture, transgenic animal models, and use of probe drugs to assess change in enzymatic activity. The information obtained from these studies has enabled prediction of clinical PK changes for a given drug in pregnant women.

Limited Sampling Modeling for Estimation of Phenotypic Metrics for CYP Enzymes and the ABCB1 Transporter Using a Cocktail Approach. Front Pharmacol 2020; 11:22.

Abstract
Plasma concentration data points (n = 2,640) from 16 healthy adults were used to develop and validate limited sampling strategies (LSS) for estimation of phenotypic metrics for CYP enzymes and the ABCB1 transporter, using a cocktail of subtherapeutic doses of the selective probes caffeine (CYP1A2), metoprolol (CYP2D6), midazolam (CYP3A), losartan (CYP2C9), omeprazole (CYP2C19), and fexofenadine (ABCB1). All-subsets linear regression modelling was applied to estimate the AUC0–12h for caffeine, fexofenadine, and midazolam, and the AUC0–12h ratio of metoprolol: α-OH metoprolol and omeprazole:5-OH omeprazole. LSS-derived metrics were compared with the parameters’ ‘best estimates’ obtained by non-compartmental analysis using all plasma concentration data points. The correlation coefficient (R2) was used to identify the LSS equations that provided the best fit for n timed plasma samples, and the jack-knife statistics was used as an additional validation procedure for the LSS models. Single time-point LSS models provided R2 values greater than 0.95 (R2 > 0.95) for the AUC0–12h ratio of metoprolol:α-OH metoprolol and omeprazole:5-OH omeprazole, whereas 2 time-point models were required for R2 > 0.95 for the AUC0–12h of caffeine, fexofenadine, and midazolam. Increasing the number of sampling points to three led to minor increases in R2 and/or the bias or prediction of the estimates. In conclusion, the LSS models provided accurate prediction of phenotypic indices for CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A, and ABCB1, when using subtherapeutic doses of selective probes for these enzymes and transporter.

Recent progress in in vivo phenotyping technologies for better prediction of transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions. Drug Metab Pharmacokinet 2020; 35:76-88.

Abstract
Clinical reports on transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions (TP-DDIs) have rapidly accumulated and regulatory guidance/guidelines recommend that sponsors consider performing quantitative prediction of TP-DDI risks in the process of drug development. In vitro experiments for characterizing the function of drug transporters have been established and various parameters such as the inhibition constant (Ki) of drugs and the intrinsic uptake/efflux clearance for a certain transporter can be obtained. However, many reports have indicated large discrepancies between the parameters estimated from in vitro experiments and those rationally explaining drug pharmacokinetics. Thus, it is essential to evaluate directly the function of each transporter isoform in vivo in humans. At present, several transporter substrate drugs and endogenous compounds have been recognized as probe substrates for a specific transporter and transporter function was evaluated by monitoring the plasma and urine concentration of those probes; however, few compounds specifically transported via a single transporter isoform have been found. For monitoring the intraorgan concentration of drugs, positron emission tomography can be a powerful tool and clinical examples for quantification of in vivo transporter function have been published. In this review, novel methodologies for in vivo phenotyping of transporter function are summarized.

Abstract
Amorphous solid dispersions of polymers and drugs have been shown to improve supersaturation maintenance of poorly water-soluble drugs. Herein, amorphous spray-dried dispersions (SDDs) of poly(acrylic acid)-polystyrene (PS-b-PAA) diblock copolymers with differing degrees of polymerization were prepared in aggregated and nonaggregated states with the Biopharmaceutical Classification System Class II drug, probucol (PBC). Specifically, PS90-b-PAA15, PS90-b-PAA80, PS38-b-PAA220, and PS38-b-PAA320 amphiphilic block polymers that covered a compositional range in the area of oral drug delivery were prepared to examine the role of molecular weight and controlled aggregation in promoting drug supersaturation and maintenance. In addition, hydrophilic homopolymers PAA20, PAA96, PAA226, and PAA392 were prepared as controls to evaluate the role of the block copolymer-based SDDs in PBC solubilization. Characterization such as powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and dissolution tests under nonsink conditions were then performed to evaluate the SDDs. When comparing the block copolymer systems, polymers that were preaggregated into micellular structures prior to spray drying with the drug promoted higher drug solubility and maintenance than when the drug was formulated with molecularly dissolved PS-PAA block polymer. Interestingly, the aggregated PS90-b-PAA80 SDD with 25 wt % PBC achieved 100% burst release and maintained full supersaturation of PBC at pH 6.5 (physiological pH in the small intestine). Dissolution studies conducted at the pH of the stomach (pH = 1.2) show that a minimal amount of drug (∼10 μg/mL) was released, which could be used for protecting drugs from acidic environments (stomach) before reaching the small intestine. To evaluate drug bioavailability, in vitro Caco-2 cell assays were performed, which reveal that PAA-based excipients do not hinder drug permeation across the epithelial membrane and that PS90-b-PAA80 SDD with 25 wt % PBC achieved the highest membrane permeability coefficient. This work demonstrates that block copolymer-based SDDs capable of preaggregating into nanostructures may be a tunable drug-delivery platform that can improve solubility and supersaturation maintenance of Class II pharmaceutics while also not prohibiting bioavailability through model intestinal membranes. Indeed, this concept may be extended to accommodate a myriad of pharmaceutical and excipient structures.

Abstract
A new probe drug cocktail containing substrates of important drug transporters was tested for mutual interactions in a clinical trial. The cocktail consisted of (predominant transporter; primary phenotyping metric): 10 mg adefovir-dipivoxil (OAT1; renal clearance (CLR )), 100 mg sitagliptin (OAT3; CLR ), 500 mg metformin (several renal transporters; CLR ), 2 mg pitavastatin (OATP1B1; clearance/F), and 0.5 mg digoxin (intestinal P-gp, renal P-gp, and OATP4C1; peak plasma concentration (Cmax ) and CLR ). Using a randomized six-period, open change-over design, single oral doses were administrated either concomitantly or separately to 24 healthy male and female volunteers. Phenotyping metrics were evaluated by noncompartmental analysis and compared between periods by the standard average bioequivalence approach (boundaries for ratios 0.80-1.25). Primary metrics supported the absence of relevant interactions, whereas secondary metrics suggested that mainly adefovir was a victim of minor drug-drug interactions (DDIs). All drugs were well tolerated. This cocktail may be another useful tool to assess transporter-based DDIs in vivo.

Abstract
Many drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are based on alterations of the plasma concentrations of a victim drug due to another drug causing inhibition and/or induction of the metabolism or transporter-mediated disposition of the victim drug. In the worst case, such interactions cause more than tenfold increases or decreases in victim drug exposure, with potentially life-threatening consequences. There has been tremendous progress in the predictability and modeling of DDIs. Accordingly, the combination of modeling approaches and clinical studies is the current mainstay in evaluation of the pharmacokinetic DDI risks of drugs. In this paper, we focus on the methodology of clinical studies on DDIs involving drug metabolism or transport. We specifically present considerations related to general DDI study designs, recommended enzyme and transporter index substrates and inhibitors, pharmacogenetic perspectives, index drug cocktails, endogenous substrates, limited sampling strategies, physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling, complex DDIs, methodological pitfalls, and interpretation of DDI information.

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery influenced pharmacokinetics of several drugs given as a cocktail with the highest impact observed for CYP1A2, CYP2C8 and CYP2E1 substrates. Basic Clin Pharmacol Toxicol 2019; 125:123-132.

Abstract
There is a lack of information about the changes in drug pharmacokinetics and cytochrome P450 (CYP) metabolism after bariatric surgery. Here, we investigated the effects of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) surgery on pharmacokinetics of nine drugs given simultaneously which may reveal changes in the activities of the main CYPs. Eight obese subjects undergoing LRYGB received an oral cocktail containing nine drugs, substrates of various CYPs: melatonin (CYP1A2), nicotine (CYP2A6), bupropion (CYP2B6), repaglinide (CYP2C8), losartan (CYP2C9), omeprazole (CYP2C19/CYP3A4), dextromethorphan (CYP2D6), chlorzoxazone (CYP2E1) and midazolam (CYP3A). The 6-hours pharmacokinetic profiles in serum and urine of each drug or corresponding metabolite as well as their metabolic ratios were compared before surgery with those at a median 1 year later. LRYGB exerted variable effects on the pharmacokinetics of these drugs. The geometric mean AUC0-6 (90% confidence interval) of melatonin, bupropion, repaglinide, chlorzoxazone and midazolam after LRYGB was 27 (19%-41%), 54 (43%-67%), 44 (29%-66%), 160 (129%-197%) and 74 (62%-90%) of the pre-surgery values, respectively. The pharmacokinetics of losartan, omeprazole and dextromethorphan did not change in response to surgery. Nicotine was not detected in serum, while geometric mean of AUC0-6 of its metabolite, cotinine, increased by 1.7 times after surgery. There were 3.6- and 1.3-fold increases in the AUC ratios of 6-hydroxymelatonin/melatonin and hydroxybupropion/bupropion, respectively. The cocktail revealed multiple pharmacokinetic changes occurring after LRYGB with the greatest effects observed for CYP1A2, CYP2C8 and CYP2E1 substrates. Future studies should be focused on CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2C8 and CYP2B6 to clarify the changes in activities of these enzymes after LRYGB.
