Lenoir C, Rollason V, Desmeules JA, Samer CF. Influence of Inflammation on Cytochromes P450 Activity in Adults: A Systematic Review of the Literature. Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:733935. [PMID: 34867341 PMCID: PMC8637893 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.733935] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2021] [Accepted: 10/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Available in-vitro and animal studies indicate that inflammation impacts cytochromes P450 (CYP) activity via multiple and complex transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms, depending on the specific CYP isoforms and the nature of inflammation mediators. It is essential to review the current published data on the impact of inflammation on CYP activities in adults to support drug individualization based on comorbidities and diseases in clinical practice. Methods: This systematic review was conducted in PubMed through 7th January 2021 looking for articles that investigated the consequences of inflammation on CYP activities in adults. Information on the source of inflammation, victim drugs (and CYPs involved), effect of disease-drug interaction, number of subjects, and study design were extracted. Results: The search strategy identified 218 studies and case reports that met our inclusion criteria. These articles were divided into fourteen different sources of inflammation (such as infection, autoimmune diseases, cancer, therapies with immunomodulator…). The impact of inflammation on CYP activities appeared to be isoform-specific and dependent on the nature and severity of the underlying disease causing the inflammation. Some of these drug-disease interactions had a significant influence on drug pharmacokinetic parameters and on clinical management. For example, clozapine levels doubled with signs of toxicity during infections and the concentration ratio between clopidogrel's active metabolite and clopidogrel is 48-fold lower in critically ill patients. Infection and CYP3A were the most cited perpetrator of inflammation and the most studied CYP, respectively. Moreover, some data suggest that resolution of inflammation results in a return to baseline CYP activities. Conclusion: Convincing evidence shows that inflammation is a major factor to be taken into account in drug development and in clinical practice to avoid any efficacy or safety issues because inflammation modulates CYP activities and thus drug pharmacokinetics. The impact is different depending on the CYP isoform and the inflammatory disease considered. Moreover, resolution of inflammation appears to result in a normalization of CYP activity. However, some results are still equivocal and further investigations are thus needed.

Abstract
Global access to opioid agonist therapy and HIV/hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment is expanding but when used concurrently, problematic pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions may occur. Articles published from 1966 to 2012 in Medline were reviewed using the following keywords: HIV, AIDS, HIV therapy, HCV, HCV therapy, antiretroviral therapy, highly active antiretroviral therapy, drug interactions, methadone and buprenorphine. In addition, a review of abstracts from national and international meetings and conference proceedings was conducted; selected reports were reviewed as well. The metabolism of both opioid and antiretroviral therapies, description of their known interactions and clinical implications and management of these interactions were reviewed. Important pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic drug interactions affecting either methadone or HIV medications have been demonstrated within each class of antiretroviral agents. Drug interactions between methadone, buprenorphine and HIV medications are known and may have important clinical consequences. Clinicians must be alert to these interactions and have a basic knowledge regarding their management.

Abstract
Through the last decades it has become increasingly evident that disease-states involving cytokines affect the pharmacokinetics of drugs through regulation of expression and activity of drug metabolizing enzymes, and more recently also drug transporters. The clinical implication is however difficult to predict, since these effects are dependent on the degree of inflammation and may be changed when the diseases are treated. This article will give an overview of the present understanding of the effects of cytokines on cytochrome P450 enzymes and drug transporters, and highlight the importance of considering these issues in regard to increasing use of the relatively new class of drugs, namely therapeutic proteins.

Abstract
Since human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) share the same modes of transmission and common risk factors for infection, co-infections with HIV and HCV are frequently found in injection drug users (IDUs). IDUs represent one of the largest reservoirs of HIV as well as HCV in the United States. These two pathogens are also likely to be responsible for the highest infectious disease morbidity and mortality rates among IDUs. IDUs frequently involve the abuse of heroin, the most common abused opiate. Opiates have been suggested to have a cofactor role in the immunopathogenesis of HIV disease, as they have the potential to compromise host immune responses and enhances microbial infections. Although in vitro studies have yielded relatively agreeable data that morphine, the active metabolite of heroin, exacerbate HIV infection/replication, epidemiologic studies as well as in vivo non-human primate investigations on the impact of opiate abuse on HIV disease progression have yielded the conflicting data. Given immunomodulation and immunocompromising effect as well as demonstrated impact to enhance HIV replication in vitro, it is reasonable to believe that opiate abuse is a facilitator in HIV and/or HCV disease progression. However, much remain to be learned about the mechanisms of opiate-mediated broad influence on host immunity and viral expression. Thus, more extensive studies are needed in order to determine the effects of different conditions of opiate abuse and to define the understanding of the role of opiate in modulating HIV and/or HCV disease progression.

Abstract
Fatigue is a major component of quality of life (QOL) and is associated with depression in HIV-HCV co-infected individuals. We investigated whether treating depressive symptoms (DS) could mitigate the impact of fatigue on daily functioning in co-infected patients, even those at an advanced stage of disease. The analysis was conducted on enrollment data of 328 HIV-HCV co-infected patients recruited in the French nationwide ANRS CO 13 HEPAVIH cohort. Data collection was based on medical records and self-administered questionnaires which included items on socio-behavioural data, the fatigue impact scale (FIS) in three domains (cognitive, physical and social functioning), depressive symptoms (CES-D classification) and use of treatments for depressive symptoms (TDS). After multiple adjustment for gender and unemployment, CD4 cell count <200 per mm(3) was associated with a negative impact of fatigue on the physical functioning dimension (P = 0.002). A higher number of symptoms causing discomfort significantly predicted a higher impact of fatigue on all three dimensions (P < 0.001). This was also true for patients with DS receiving TDS when compared with those with no DS but receiving TDS. A significant decreasing linear trend (P < 0.001) of the impact of fatigue was found across the categories 'DS/TDS', 'DS/no TDS', 'no DS/TDS' and 'no DS/no TDS'. Despite limitations related to the cross-sectional nature of this study, our results suggest that routine screening and treatment for DS can reduce the impact of fatigue on the daily functioning of HIV-HCV co-infected patients and relieve the burden of their dual infection.

Abstract
Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) is the most widely available pharmacotherapy for opioid addiction and has been shown to be an effective and safe treatment over a period of 40 years. Although women comprise approximately 40% of clients currently being treated in MMT programs, comparatively little research geared specifically toward this group has been published. This article begins with an overview of neurobiological studies on opioid addiction, including a discussion of gender differences, followed by a review of the pharmacology of methadone. The authors then examine the particular needs and differences of women being treated in MMTs, including co-dependence with other substances, women's health issues, and psychosocial needs unique to this population. Research shows that women have different substance abuse treatment needs in comparison to their male counterparts. One New York City MMT program that has attempted to address these differences is highlighted.

Abstract
Drug interactions are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Methadone and buprenorphine are frequently prescribed for the treatment of opioid addiction. Patients needing treatment with these medications often have co-occurring medical and mental illnesses that require medication treatment. The abuse of illicit substances is also common in opioid-addicted individuals. These clinical realities place patients being treated with methadone and buprenorphine at risk for potentially toxic drug interactions. A substantial literature has accumulated on drug interactions between either methadone or buprenorphine with other medications when ingested concomitantly by humans. This review summarizes current literature in this area.

Abstract
According to recent World Health Organization data, approximately 170–200 million people worldwide are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). At present, illicit drug users (IDUs) constitute the largest group of individuals infected with HCV in industrial countries. Between 50% and 90% of IDUs are estimated to be positive for anti-HCV antibodies and most of the new infections occur in IDUs. The aim of our review is to focus on tertiary prevention of HCV infection among IDUs. We review strategies to prevent HCV infection and disease progression, attitude to antiviral treatment, access to specific HCV therapy and data of efficacy and safety of antiviral treatment among IDUs.

Abstract
An increasing number of people are chronically infected with HIV and HCV, and/or HBV owing to shared routes of transmission. With the advent of HAART, liver disease secondary to hepatitis co-infections has emerged as a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in HIV-infected persons. There is increasing need to manage dual infection, but treatment is complicated by co-morbidities, overlapping toxicities, drug activities and resistance. A model of treatment that builds on the lessons learned from the treatment of HIV has evolved to maximize success of treating dual infections. This review will address current strategies for the management of HIV in the setting of HCV and HBV co-infection and discuss future treatment directions and challenges.

Abstract
Despite reductions in the incidence of new hepatitis C virus infections, infections from previous decades continue to place a substantial burden on our health care system. Although the course of the disease is highly variable, approximately 20% to 30% of patients develop cirrhosis, end-stage liver disease, or hepatocellular carcinoma. Fortunately, treatment with our current standard of care, peginterferon a and ribavirin, can reduce the complications of chronic liver disease. However, these drugs are associated with significant adverse effects, many patients are ineligible for treatment, and only 50% are cured. Thus, there is a tremendous need to improve our current therapies and develop new compounds for this disease. This review highlights the transmission, pathophysiology, and course of illness; the pharmacokinetics, proposed mechanisms of action, adverse events, and potential drug interactions with peginterferon a and ribavirin; current treatment trends; the role of the pharmacist in the treatment of this disease; and investigational drugs in later stages of clinical development. Despite the initial hope that these new drugs would replace our current standard of care, it has become clear that ribavirin and peginterferon a will continue to play an important role in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus in the years to come.

Abstract
AIMS Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a common chronic complication of injection drug use. Methadone maintenance programs contain large numbers of patients infected with HCV. This paper reviews HCV infection with emphasis on the medical care of HCV-infected, or HCV and human immunodeficiency virus co-infected, patients on methadone or buprenorphine maintenance. METHODS Literature searches using PubMed, PsycINFO and SocINDEX were used to identify papers from 1990-present on antiviral therapy for HCV in methadone maintenance patients and on liver transplantation in methadone maintenance patients. RESULTS Injection drug use is the most significant risk factor for HCV infection in most western countries. The prevalence of HCV antibody is high in injection drug users (53-96%) and in patients enrolled in methadone maintenance programs (67-96%). Studies of antiviral therapy for HCV in methadone maintenance patients show rates of sustained virological response (SVR), defined as negative HCV-RNA 24 weeks after the end of treatment, of 28-94%. In studies with contrast groups, no significant differences in SVR between methadone and contrast groups were found. Excellent completion rates of antiviral therapy (72-100%) were found in five of six studies. There are many barriers to methadone maintenance patients' receiving antiviral therapy, and research on overcoming barriers is discussed. Liver transplantation has been successful in methadone maintenance patients but has not been utilized widely. CONCLUSION High quality medical care for all aspects of HCV infection can be provided to methadone maintenance patients. The literature supports the effectiveness of such services, but the reality is that most patients do not receive them.

Abstract
Many new and existing cases of viral hepatitis infections are related to injection drug use. Transmission of these infections can result directly from the use of injection equipment that is contaminated with blood containing the hepatitis B or C virus or through sexual contact with an infected individual. In the latter case, drug use can indirectly contribute to hepatitis transmission through the dis-inhibited at-risk behavior, that is, unprotected sex with an infected partner. Individuals who inject drugs are at-risk for infection from different hepatitis viruses, hepatitis A, B, or C. Those with chronic hepatitis B virus infection also face additional risk should they become co-infected with hepatitis D virus. Protection from the transmission of hepatitis viruses A and B is best achieved by vaccination. For those with a history of or who currently inject drugs, the medical management of viral hepatitis infection comprising screening, testing, counseling and providing care and treatment is evolving. Components of the medical management of hepatitis infection, for persons considering, initiating, or receiving pharmacologic therapy for opioid addiction include: testing for hepatitis B and C infections; education and counseling regarding at-risk behavior and hepatitis transmission, acute and chronic hepatitis infection, liver disease and its care and treatment; vaccination against hepatitis A and B infection; and integrative primary care as part of the comprehensive treatment approach for recovery from opioid abuse and dependence. In addition, participation in a peer support group as part of integrated medical care enhances treatment outcomes. Liver disease is highly prevalent in patient populations seeking recovery from opioid addiction or who are currently receiving pharmacotherapy for opioid addiction. Pharmacotherapy for opioid addiction is not a contraindication to evaluation, care, or treatment of liver disease due to hepatitis virus infection. Successful pharmacotherapy for opioid addiction stabilizes patients and improves patient compliance to care and treatment regimens as well as promotes good patient outcomes. Implementation and integration of effective hepatitis prevention programs, care programs, and treatment regimens in concert with the pharmacological therapy of opioid addiction can reduce the public health burdens of hepatitis and injection drug use.
