Abstract
This open-label, phase 1 study was conducted with healthy adult participants to evaluate the potential drug-drug interaction between rilzabrutinib and quinidine (an inhibitor of P-glycoprotein [P-gp] and CYP2D6) or rifampin (an inducer of CYP3A and P-gp). Plasma concentrations of rilzabrutinib were measured after a single oral dose of rilzabrutinib 400 mg administered on day 1 and again, following a wash-out period, after co-administration of rilzabrutinib and quinidine or rifampin. Specifically, quinidine was given at a dose of 300 mg every 8 hours for 5 days from day 7 to day 11 (N = 16) while rifampin was given as 600 mg once daily for 11 days from day 7 to day 17 (N = 16) with rilzabrutinib given in the morning of day 10 (during quinidine dosing) or day 16 (during rifampin dosing). Quinidine had no significant effect on rilzabrutinib pharmacokinetics. Rifampin decreased rilzabrutinib exposure (the geometric mean of Cmax and AUC0-∞ decreased by 80.5% and 79.5%, respectively). Single oral doses of rilzabrutinib, with or without quinidine or rifampin, appeared to be well tolerated. These findings indicate that rilzabrutinib is a substrate for CYP3A but not a substrate for P-gp.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is one of the most common reasons for acute liver failure and a major reason for the withdrawal of medications from the market. There is a growing need for advanced in vitro liver models that can effectively recapitulate hepatic function, offering a robust platform for preclinical drug screening applications. Here, we explore the potential of self-assembling liver spheroids in the presence of electrospun and cryomilled poly(caprolactone) (PCL) nanoscaffolds for use as a new preclinical drug screening tool. This study investigated the extent to which nanoscaffold concentration may have on spheroid size and viability and liver-specific biofunctionality. The efficacy of our model was further validated using a comprehensive dose-dependent acetaminophen toxicity protocol. Our findings show the strong potential of PCL-based nanoscaffolds to facilitate in situ self-assembly of liver spheroids with sizes under 350 μm. The presence of the PCL-based nanoscaffolds (0.005 and 0.01% w/v) improved spheroid viability and the secretion of critical liver-specific biomarkers, namely, albumin and urea. Liver spheroids with nanoscaffolds showed improved drug-metabolizing enzyme activity and greater sensitivity to acetaminophen compared to two-dimensional monolayer cultures and scaffold-free liver spheroids. These promising findings highlight the potential of our nanoscaffold-based liver spheroids as an in vitro liver model for drug-induced hepatotoxicity and drug screening.

Abstract
Brigatinib is an oral anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitor approved for the treatment of ALK-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. In vitro studies indicated that brigatinib is primarily metabolized by CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 and inhibits P-gp, BCRP, OCT1, MATE1, and MATE2K. Clinical drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies with the strong CYP3A inhibitor itraconazole or the strong CYP3A inducer rifampin demonstrated that CYP3A-mediated metabolism was the primary contributor to overall brigatinib clearance in humans. A physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for brigatinib was developed to predict potential DDIs, including the effect of moderate CYP3A inhibitors or inducers on brigatinib pharmacokinetics (PK) and the effect of brigatinib on the PK of transporter substrates. The developed model was able to predict clinical DDIs with itraconazole (area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity [AUC∞] ratio [with/without itraconazole]: predicted 1.86; observed 2.01) and rifampin (AUC∞ ratio [with/without rifampin]: predicted 0.16; observed 0.20). Simulations using the developed model predicted that moderate CYP3A inhibitors (e.g., verapamil and diltiazem) may increase brigatinib AUC∞ by ~40%, whereas moderate CYP3A inducers (e.g., efavirenz) may decrease brigatinib AUC∞ by ~50%. Simulations of potential transporter-mediated DDIs predicted that brigatinib may increase systemic exposures (AUC∞) of P-gp substrates (e.g., digoxin and dabigatran) by 15%-43% and MATE1 substrates (e.g., metformin) by up to 29%; however, negligible effects were predicted on BCRP-mediated efflux and OCT1-mediated uptake. The PBPK analysis results informed dosing recommendations for patients receiving moderate CYP3A inhibitors (40% brigatinib dose reduction) or inducers (up to 100% increase in brigatinib dose) during treatment, as reflected in the brigatinib prescribing information.

[PMID: 37955446 PMCID: PMC10651166 DOI: 10.1097/qai.0000000000003301] [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: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Once-weekly isoniazid with rifapentine (HP) for 3 months is a recommended treatment for latent tuberculosis infection in persons with HIV. HP reduces exposures of certain antiretroviral medications, resulting in limited options for the concomitant use of these therapies. Here, we examined the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of darunavir/cobicistat with HP. METHODS This was an open-label, fixed sequence, two-period crossover study in persons without HIV. Participants received darunavir 800 mg/cobicistat 150 mg once-daily alone for 4 days, then continued darunavir/cobicistat once-daily for days 5-19 with HP coadministration on days 5, 12, and 19. Intensive PK assessments were performed on days 4, 14, and 19. PK parameters were determined using noncompartmental methods. Geometric mean ratios with 90% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated and compared between phases using mixed-effects models. RESULTS Thirteen participants were enrolled. Two withdrew after day 4, and one withdrew after day 14. Of the 3 withdrawals, 2 were attributed to drug-related adverse events. Darunavir area under the concentration-time curve, maximum concentrations (Cmax), and concentrations at 24 hours postdose (C24h) were reduced by 71%, 41%, and 96% ∼48-72 hours after HP administration (day 14), respectively, and 36%, 17%, and 89% with simultaneous HP administration (day 19), respectively. On day 14, 45% of the predose and 73% of C24h concentrations were below the darunavir EC50 (0.055 µg/mL). CONCLUSIONS Darunavir exposures were significantly decreased with HP coadministration. Temporal relationships between HP coadministration and the extent of induction or mixed inhibition/induction of darunavir metabolism were apparent. Coadministration of darunavir/cobicistat with 3HP should be avoided.

Abstract
In recent years, the identification of endogenous substrates as biomarkers became an uprising topic. Particularly coproporphyrins (CPs), byproducts of heme biosynthesis, are intensely investigated as biomarkers for predicting interactions with the organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B transporters. In the context of drug-drug interactions, several preclinical and clinical studies assessed the effect of the OATP1B-index inhibitor rifampin on CPI levels. However, rifampin is not only a "perpetrator" drug of transporters but is also known for its interaction with the nuclear receptor pregnane X receptor (PXR) leading to the efficient induction of PXR-target genes. These include hemoproteins like cytochrome P450 enzymes but also the δ-aminolevulinate synthase 1, which is the rate-limiting enzyme in heme biosynthesis. In this study, we showed that quantification of CPs in clinical serum samples was possible after long-term storage at -20°C. We quantified CPI, CPIII, and heme levels in clinical serum samples (at selected timepoints) that originated from a trial investigating the interaction potential of repeated rifampin administration in 12 healthy participants. In samples collected at the assumed time to maximum concentration of rifampin, higher CP levels were observed compared to baseline. Increased levels persisted even 14 h after discontinuation of rifampin. No impact on heme serum levels was observed. We found a correlation between CP isomers at baseline and at 14 h after rifampin intake. In summary, we show that multiple doses of rifampin affect CP levels. However, besides inhibition of hepatic OATP function there is evidence for an interaction with CP levels beyond the transporter level.

Abstract
Lidocaine toxicity is caused by unintended intravascular injection or overdose. Lidocaine is metabolized in the liver by the CYP3A4 isoenzyme. The objective was to investigate if the administration of rifampin could accelerate animal recovery and reduce the symptoms of lidocaine toxicity by induction of the CYP3A4. Thirty-six male rats were divided into control and treatment groups, each containing three subgroups. The treatment group received oral rifampin suspension daily for 1 week. In all rats, 2.00% lidocaine was injected intravenously. The first subgroup was monitored for neurological symptoms. In the second subgroup, data were recorded after the electrode was placed in the right hippocampus. Electrocardiograms were taken from the third subgroup. CYP3A4 was measured using an ELISA kit. Neurological recovery was seen after 22 and 15 min in the control and treatment groups, respectively. Rifampin also caused a significant reduction in amplitude and number of field action potentials compared to the control group. Numerous cardiac arrhythmias were observed in the control group. The mean level of CYP3A4 in the treatment group was significantly higher than in the control group. In conclusion, oral rifampin could increase the synthesis of CYP3A4, therefore, the animal recovery from lidocaine toxicity was accelerated.

Quantitative Cytochrome P450 3A4 Induction Risk Assessment Using Human Hepatocytes Complemented with Pregnane X Receptor-Activating Profiles. Drug Metab Dispos 2023; 51:276-284. [PMID: 36460477 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.122.001132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2022] [Revised: 11/14/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Reliable in vitro to in vivo translation of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 induction potential is essential to support risk mitigation for compounds during pharmaceutical discovery and development. In this study, a linear correlation of CYP3A4 mRNA induction potential in human hepatocytes with the respective pregnane-X receptor (PXR) activation in a reporter gene assay using DPX2 cells was successfully demonstrated for 13 clinically used drugs. Based on this correlation, using rifampicin as a positive control, the magnitude of CYP3A4 mRNA induction for 71 internal compounds at several concentrations up to 10 µM (n = 90) was predicted within 2-fold error for 64% of cases with only a few false positives (19%). Furthermore, the in vivo area under the curve reduction of probe CYP substrates was reasonably predicted for eight marketed drugs (carbamazepine, dexamethasone, enzalutamide, nevirapine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifampicin, and rufinamide) using the static net effect model using both the PXR activation and CYP3A4 mRNA induction data. The liver exit concentrations were used for the model in place of the inlet concentrations to avoid false positive predictions and the concentration achieving twofold induction (F2) was used to compensate for the lack of full induction kinetics due to cytotoxicity and solubility limitations in vitro. These findings can complement the currently available induction risk mitigation strategy and potentially influence the drug interaction modeling work conducted at clinical stages. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The established correlation of CYP3A4 mRNA in human hepatocytes to PXR activation provides a clear cut-off to identify a compound showing an in vitro induction risk, complementing current regulatory guidance. Also, the demonstrated in vitro-in vivo translation of induction data strongly supports a clinical development program although limitations remain for drug candidates showing complex disposition pathways, such as involvement of auto-inhibition/induction, active transport and high protein binding.

Abstract
Probing the activity of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is critical for monitoring the metabolism of pharmaceuticals and identifying drug-drug interactions. A library of Ir(III) probes that detect occupancy of the CYP3A4 active site were synthesized and characterized. These probes show selectivity for CYP3A4 inhibition, low cellular toxicity, Kd values as low as 9 nM, and are highly emissive with lifetimes up to 3.8 μs in cell growth media under aerobic conditions. These long emission lifetimes allow for time-resolved gating to distinguish probe from background autofluorescence from growth media and live cells. X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed structure-activity relationships and the preference or indifference of CYP3A4 toward resolved stereoisomers. Ir(III)-based probes show emission quenching upon CYP3A4 binding, then emission increases following displacement with CYP3A4 inhibitors or substrates. Importantly, the lead probes inhibit the activity of CYP3A4 at concentrations as low as 300 nM in CYP3A4-overexpressing HepG2 cells that accurately mimic human hepatic drug metabolism. Thus, the Ir(III)-based agents show promise as novel chemical tools for monitoring CYP3A4 active site occupancy in a high-throughput manner to gain insight into drug metabolism and drug-drug interactions.

Abstract
Rifampicin is a first-line antituberculosis drug. Hepatocyte toxicity caused by rifampicin is a significant clinical problem. However, the specific mechanism by which rifampicin causes liver injury is still poorly understood. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress can have both protective and proapoptotic effects on an organism, depending on the environmental state of the organism. While causing cholestasis and oxidative stress in the liver, rifampicin also activates ER stress in different ways, including bile acid accumulation and cytochrome p450 (CYP) enzyme-induced toxic drug metabolites via pregnane X receptor (PXR). The short-term stress response helps the organism resist toxicity, but when persisting, the response aggravates liver damage. Therefore, ER stress may be closely related to the “adaptive” mechanism and the apoptotic toxicity of rifampicin. This article reviews the functional characteristics of ER stress and its potentially pathogenic role in liver injury caused by rifampicin.

Abstract
Microbiota colonization begins at birth and continuously reshapes throughout the course of our lives, resulting in tremendous interindividual heterogeneity. Given that the gut microbiome, similar to the liver, houses many categories of catalytic enzymes, there is significant value in understanding drug-bacteria interactions. The discovery of this link could enhance the therapeutic value of drugs that would otherwise have a limited or perhaps detrimental effect on patients. Resistant hypertension is one such subset of the hypertensive population that poorly responds to antihypertensive medications, resulting in an increased risk for chronic cardiovascular illnesses and its debilitating effects that ultimately have a detrimental impact on patient quality of life. We recently demonstrated that the gut microbiota is involved in the metabolism of antihypertensive drugs and thus contributes to the pathophysiology of resistant hypertension. Due to a lack of knowledge of the mechanisms, novel therapeutic approaches that account for the gut microbiota may allow for better therapeutic outcomes in resistant hypertension. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to summarize our current, albeit limited, understanding of how the gut microbiota may possess particular enzymatic activities that influence the efficacy of antihypertensive drugs.

Abstract
Membrane transport proteins are involved in the absorption, disposition, efficacy, and/or toxicity of many drugs. Numerous mechanisms (e.g., nuclear receptors, epigenetic gene regulation, microRNAs, alternative splicing, post‐translational modifications, and trafficking) regulate transport protein levels, localization, and function. Various factors associated with disease, medications, and dietary constituents, for example, may alter the regulation and activity of transport proteins in the intestine, liver, kidneys, brain, lungs, placenta, and other important sites, such as tumor tissue. This white paper reviews key mechanisms and regulatory factors that alter the function of clinically relevant transport proteins involved in drug disposition. Current considerations with in vitro and in vivo models that are used to investigate transporter regulation are discussed, including strengths, limitations, and the inherent challenges in predicting the impact of changes due to regulation of one transporter on compensatory pathways and overall drug disposition. In addition, translation and scaling of in vitro observations to in vivo outcomes are considered. The importance of incorporating altered transporter regulation in modeling and simulation approaches to predict the clinical impact on drug disposition is also discussed. Regulation of transporters is highly complex and, therefore, identification of knowledge gaps will aid in directing future research to expand our understanding of clinically relevant molecular mechanisms of transporter regulation. This information is critical to the development of tools and approaches to improve therapeutic outcomes by predicting more accurately the impact of regulation‐mediated changes in transporter function on drug disposition and response.

Abstract
Belumosudil is a selective Rho-associated protein kinase 2 inhibitor. Inhibition of Rho-associated protein kinase 2 has emerged as a promising treatment for chronic graft-versus-host disease by restoring immune homeostasis and reducing fibrosis. In vitro assessments have suggested that metabolism of belumosudil is primarily dependent on cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 activity and that the solubility of belumosudil is pH dependent. As such, this 2-part clinical drug-drug interaction study was conducted to assess the effect of itraconazole (a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor), rifampicin (a strong CYP3A4 inducer), rabeprazole, and omeprazole (both proton pump inhibitors) on the pharmacokinetics of belumosudil. No clinically relevant change in belumosudil exposure was observed following a 200-mg single oral dose of belumosudil with itraconazole; however, exposure of main metabolite, KD025m2, was decreased. Consistent with the proposed metabolic pathway of belumosudil, the strong CYP3A4 inducer rifampicin significantly decreased exposure of belumosudil and KD025m2 and increased KD025m1 exposure. When a 200-mg single oral dose of belumosudil was coadministered with both rabeprazole and omeprazole, parent and metabolite exposures were largely reduced, suggesting that belumosudil dosage should be increased when given with PPIs. Administration of belumosudil with and without perpetrator drugs was safe, and no notable adverse events were reported.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A contributes to the metabolism of many approved drugs. CYP3A perpetrator drugs can profoundly alter the exposure of CYP3A substrates. However, effects of such drug-drug interactions are usually reported as maximum effects rather than studied as time-dependent processes. Identification of the time course of CYP3A modulation can provide insight into when significant changes to CYP3A activity occurs, help better design drug-drug interaction studies, and manage drug-drug interactions in clinical practice. OBJECTIVE We aimed to quantify the time course and extent of the in vivo modulation of different CYP3A perpetrator drugs on hepatic CYP3A activity and distinguish different modulatory mechanisms by their time of onset, using pharmacologically inactive intravenous microgram doses of the CYP3A-specific substrate midazolam, as a marker of CYP3A activity. METHODS Twenty-four healthy individuals received an intravenous midazolam bolus followed by a continuous infusion for 10 or 36 h. Individuals were randomized into four arms: within each arm, two individuals served as a placebo control and, 2 h after start of the midazolam infusion, four individuals received the CYP3A perpetrator drug: voriconazole (inhibitor, orally or intravenously), rifampicin (inducer, orally), or efavirenz (activator, orally). After midazolam bolus administration, blood samples were taken every hour (rifampicin arm) or every 15 min (remaining study arms) until the end of midazolam infusion. A total of 1858 concentrations were equally divided between midazolam and its metabolite, 1'-hydroxymidazolam. A nonlinear mixed-effects population pharmacokinetic model of both compounds was developed using NONMEM®. CYP3A activity modulation was quantified over time, as the relative change of midazolam clearance encountered by the perpetrator drug, compared to the corresponding clearance value in the placebo arm. RESULTS Time course of CYP3A modulation and magnitude of maximum effect were identified for each perpetrator drug. While efavirenz CYP3A activation was relatively fast and short, reaching a maximum after approximately 2-3 h, the induction effect of rifampicin could only be observed after 22 h, with a maximum after approximately 28-30 h followed by a steep drop to almost baseline within 1-2 h. In contrast, the inhibitory impact of both oral and intravenous voriconazole was prolonged with a steady inhibition of CYP3A activity followed by a gradual increase in the inhibitory effect until the end of sampling at 8 h. Relative maximum clearance changes were +59.1%, +46.7%, -70.6%, and -61.1% for efavirenz, rifampicin, oral voriconazole, and intravenous voriconazole, respectively. CONCLUSIONS We could distinguish between different mechanisms of CYP3A modulation by the time of onset. Identification of the time at which clearance significantly changes, per perpetrator drug, can guide the design of an optimal sampling schedule for future drug-drug interaction studies. The impact of a short-term combination of different perpetrator drugs on the paradigm CYP3A substrate midazolam was characterized and can define combination intervals in which no relevant interaction is to be expected. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial was registered at the European Union Drug Regulating Authorities for Clinical Trials (EudraCT-No. 2013-004869-14).

Abstract
Second generation triazoles are widely used as first-line drugs for the treatment of invasive fungal infections, including aspergillosis and candidiasis. This class, along with itraconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole, and isavuconazole, is characterized by a broad range of activity, however, individual drugs vary considerably in safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics profiles, and interactions with concomitant medications. The interaction may be encountered on the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) step. All triazoles as inhibitors or substrates of CYP isoenzymes can often interact with many drugs, which may result in the change of the activity of the drug and cause serious side effects. Drugs of this class should be used with caution with other agents, and an understanding of their pharmacokinetic profile, safety, and drug-drug interaction profiles is important to provide effective antifungal therapy. The manuscript reviews significant drug interactions of azoles with other medications, as well as with food. The PubMed and Google Scholar bases were searched to collect the literature data. The interactions with anticonvulsants, antibiotics, statins, kinase inhibitors, proton pump inhibitors, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, opioid analgesics, benzodiazepines, cardiac glycosides, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressants, antipsychotics, corticosteroids, biguanides, and anticoagulants are presented. We also paid attention to possible interactions with drugs during experimental therapies for the treatment of COVID-19.

Abstract
This study evaluated the adverse effects of low-dose imidacloprid (IMI) on the characteristics of sperm from male Wistar rats. Thirty mature male rats were equally divided into three groups and orally administered vehicle (Control Group), acceptable daily intake (ADI) concentration of IMI (Group 1), and IMI at a dose 10-fold that of the ADI (Group 2) for 90 days. The findings revealed that IMI caused abnormalities in sperm concentrations and morphologies, accompanied by an imbalance of the gonadal hormone testosterone. Histopathological damage and decrease of testosterone levels were observed in testes from rats treated with IMI. However, estradiol and gonadotropin levels were unchanged after IMI treatment. IMI inhibited the activity of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) and left itself existed in the organism of rats. The indicators relating to sperms and CYP3A4 activity were recovered when rats were co-treated with IMI and CYP3A4 inducer rifampicin together. These results indicated that low-dose IMI exposure caused sperm abnormalities through affecting on the spermiogenesis in testis. Inhibition of CYP3A4 activity by IMI largely contributed to its sperm toxicity. Thus, IMI exposure at doses close to real-world settings resulted in sperm toxicity on rats, which might be a potential risk factor for human reproductive diseases.

Abstract
The pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a ligand-activated nuclear receptor controlling hepatocyte expression of numerous genes. Although expression changes in xenobiotic-metabolizing, lipogenic, gluconeogenic and bile acid synthetic genes have been described after PXR activation, the temporal dynamics of their expression is largely unknown. Recently, 3D spheroids of primary human hepatocytes (PHHs) have been characterized as the most phenotypically relevant hepatocyte model. We used 3D PHHs to assess time-dependent expression profiles of 12 prototypic PXR-controlled genes in the time course of 168 h of rifampicin treatment (1 or 10 µM). We observed a similar bell-shaped time-induction pattern for xenobiotic-handling genes (CYP3A4, CYP2C9, CYP2B6, and MDR1). However, we observed either biphasic profiles for genes involved in endogenous metabolism (FASN, GLUT2, G6PC, PCK1, and CYP7A1), a decrease for SHP or oscillation for PDK4 and PXR. The rifampicin concentration determined the expression profiles for some genes. Moreover, we calculated half-lives of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 mRNA under induced or basal conditions and we used a mathematical model to describe PXR-mediated regulation of CYP3A4 expression employing 3D PHHs. The study shows the importance of long-term time-expression profiling of PXR target genes in phenotypically stable 3D PHHs and provides insight into PXR function in liver beyond our knowledge from conventional 2D in vitro models.

Predicting Drug-Drug Interactions between Rifampicin and Ritonavir-Boosted Atazanavir Using PBPK Modelling. Clin Pharmacokinet 2021; 61:375-386.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of this study was to simulate the drug–drug interaction (DDI) between ritonavir-boosted atazanavir (ATV/r) and rifampicin (RIF) using physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling, and to predict suitable dose adjustments for ATV/r for the treatment of people living with HIV (PLWH) co-infected with tuberculosis. Methods A whole-body DDI PBPK model was designed using Simbiology 9.6.0 (MATLAB R2019a) and verified against reported clinical data for all drugs administered alone and concomitantly. The model contained the induction mechanisms of RIF and ritonavir (RTV), the inhibition effect of RTV for the enzymes involved in the DDI, and the induction and inhibition mechanisms of RIF and RTV on the uptake and efflux hepatic transporters. The model was considered verified if the observed versus predicted pharmacokinetic values were within twofold. Alternative ATV/r dosing regimens were simulated to achieve the trough concentration (Ctrough) clinical cut-off of 150 ng/mL. Results The PBPK model was successfully verified according to the criteria. Simulation of different dose adjustments predicted that a change in regimen to twice-daily ATV/r (300/100 or 300/200 mg) may alleviate the induction effect of RIF on ATV Ctrough, with > 95% of individuals predicted to achieve Ctrough above the clinical cut-off. Conclusions The developed PBPK model characterized the induction-mediated DDI between RIF and ATV/r, accurately predicting the reduction of ATV plasma concentrations in line with observed clinical data. A change in the ATV/r dosing regimen from once-daily to twice-daily was predicted to mitigate the effect of the DDI on the Ctrough of ATV, maintaining plasma concentration levels above the therapeutic threshold for most patients.

Abstract
Rilpivirine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, used for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 infection. An open label study was conducted to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of a single oral dose of rilpivirine 25 mg in Japanese healthy adult subjects. No adverse events were reported. The mean Cmax (144.3 ng/mL) and AUCinf (4542 ng h/mL) in Japanese subjects were approximately 30 % higher than those reported from a similar study in Caucasian healthy subjects, whereas the median tmax and mean t1/2 values were comparable between studies. A simple physiologically based PK model was developed to characterize the rilpivirine PK profile. The model adequately described rilpivirine PK profiles, and well-predicted drug-drug interactions. With exploration using the model, body size and CYP3A4 abundance were identified as factors which explained the observed inter-ethnic difference in rilpivirine exposure. The inter-ethnic difference in rilpivirine exposure was however considered not clinically relevant, since inter-individual variabilities of those intrinsic factors are larger than inter-ethnic ones; and the observed AUCinf in Japanese subjects was within the range of AUCtau associated with efficacy and safety in Phase 3 studies. This study results support the use of rilpivirine without dose modification specific to Japanese patients.

Abstract
Background:Rifampicin (RIF), also known as rifampin, a bactericidal antibiotic having
broad antibacterial activity against various gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria acts by inhibiting
DNA dependent RNA polymerase. RIF has been administered in different dosage forms like tablets,
capsules, injections, oral suspension, powder, etc. for the treatment of several types of bacterial infections,
including tuberculosis, Mycobacterium avium complex, leprosy and Legionnaires’ disease.
Introduction: To ensure the quality, efficacy, safety and effectiveness of RIF drug product, effective
and reliable analytical methods are of utmost importance. To quantify RIF for quality control or pharmacokinetic
purposes, alternative analytical methods have been developed along with the official compendial
methods.
Methods:In this review paper, an extensive literature survey was conducted to gather information on
various analytical instrumental methods used so far for RIF.
Results:These methods were high-performance liquid chromatography (42%), hyphenated techniques
(18%), spectroscopy (15%), high-performance thin-layer chromatography or thin-layer chromatography
(7%) and miscellaneous (18%).
Conclusion:All these methods were selective and specific for the RIF analysis.

Biased cytochrome P450-mediated metabolism via small-molecule ligands binding P450 oxidoreductase. Nat Commun 2021; 12:2260. [PMID: 33859207 PMCID: PMC8050233 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-22562-w] [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: 09/10/2020] [Accepted: 03/15/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Metabolic control is mediated by the dynamic assemblies and function of multiple redox enzymes. A key element in these assemblies, the P450 oxidoreductase (POR), donates electrons and selectively activates numerous (>50 in humans and >300 in plants) cytochromes P450 (CYPs) controlling metabolism of drugs, steroids and xenobiotics in humans and natural product biosynthesis in plants. The mechanisms underlying POR-mediated CYP metabolism remain poorly understood and to date no ligand binding has been described to regulate the specificity of POR. Here, using a combination of computational modeling and functional assays, we identify ligands that dock on POR and bias its specificity towards CYP redox partners, across mammal and plant kingdom. Single molecule FRET studies reveal ligand binding to alter POR conformational sampling, which results in biased activation of metabolic cascades in whole cell assays. We propose the model of biased metabolism, a mechanism akin to biased signaling of GPCRs, where ligand binding on POR stabilizes different conformational states that are linked to distinct metabolic outcomes. Biased metabolism may allow designing pathway-specific therapeutics or personalized food suppressing undesired, disease-related, metabolic pathways.

CPT-PHARMACOMETRICS & SYSTEMS PHARMACOLOGY 2021; 10:441-454. [PMID: 33687157 PMCID: PMC8129716 DOI: 10.1002/psp4.12605] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2020] [Revised: 01/07/2021] [Accepted: 01/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was developed to evaluate and predict (1) the effect of concomitant cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) inhibitors or inducers on the exposures of zanubrutinib, (2) the effect of zanubrutinib on the exposures of CYP3A4, CYP2C8, and CYP2B6 substrates, and (3) the impact of gastric pH changes on the pharmacokinetics of zanubrutinib. The model was developed based on physicochemical and in vitro parameters, as well as clinical data, including pharmacokinetic data in patients with B-cell malignancies and in healthy volunteers from two clinical drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies of zanubrutinib as a victim of CYP modulators (itraconazole, rifampicin) or a perpetrator (midazolam). This PBPK model was successfully validated to describe the observed plasma concentrations and clinical DDIs of zanubrutinib. Model predictions were generally within 1.5-fold of the observed clinical data. The PBPK model was used to predict untested clinical scenarios; these simulations indicated that strong, moderate, and mild CYP3A inhibitors may increase zanubrutinib exposures by approximately four-fold, two- to three-fold, and <1.5-fold, respectively. Strong and moderate CYP3A inducers may decrease zanubrutinib exposures by two- to three-fold or greater. The PBPK simulations showed that clinically relevant concentrations of zanubrutinib, as a DDI perpetrator, would have no or limited impact on the enzyme activity of CYP2B6 and CYP2C8. Simulations indicated that zanubrutinib exposures are not impacted by acid-reducing agents. Development of a PBPK model for zanubrutinib as a DDI victim and perpetrator in parallel can increase confidence in PBPK models supporting zanubrutinib label dose recommendations.

Abstract
This phase 1 study characterized the effect of multiple doses of upadacitinib, an oral Janus kinase 1 selective inhibitor, on the pharmacokinetics of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2B6 substrate bupropion. Healthy subjects (n = 22) received a single oral dose of bupropion 150 mg alone (study period 1) and on day 12 of a 16-day regimen of upadacitinib 30 mg once daily (study period 2). Serial blood samples for measurement of bupropion and hydroxybupropion plasma concentrations were collected in each study period. The central values (90% confidence intervals) for the ratios of change were 0.87 (0.79-0.96) for bupropion maximum plasma concentration (Cmax ), 0.92 (0.87-0.98) for bupropion area under the plasma-concentration time curve from time 0 to infinity (AUCinf ), 0.78 (0.72-0.85) for hydroxybupropion Cmax , and 0.72 (0.67-0.78) for hydroxybupropion AUCinf when administered with, relative to when administered without, upadacitinib. After multiple-dose administration of upadacitinib 30 mg once daily, upadacitinib mean ± SD AUC0-24 was 641 ± 177 ng·h/mL, and Cmax was 83.3 ± 30.7 ng/mL. These results confirm that upadacitinib has no relevant effect on pharmacokinetics of substrates metabolized by CYP2B6.

Early or deferred initiation of efavirenz during rifampicin-based TB therapy has no significant effect on CYP3A induction in TB-HIV infected patients. Br J Pharmacol 2020; 178:3294-3308. [PMID: 33155675 PMCID: PMC8359173 DOI: 10.1111/bph.15309] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2020] [Revised: 10/05/2020] [Accepted: 10/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Purpose In TB‐HIV co‐infection, prompt initiation of TB therapy is recommended but anti‐retroviral treatment (ART) is often delayed due to potential drug–drug interactions between rifampicin and efavirenz. In a longitudinal cohort study, we evaluated the effects of efavirenz/rifampicin co‐treatment and time of ART initiation on CYP3A induction. Experimental Approach Treatment‐naïve TB‐HIV co‐infected patients (n = 102) were randomized to efavirenz‐based‐ART after 4 (n = 69) or 8 weeks (n = 33) of commencing rifampicin‐based anti‐TB therapy. HIV patients without TB (n = 94) receiving efavirenz‐based‐ART only were enrolled as control. Plasma 4β‐hydroxycholesterol/cholesterol (4β‐OHC/Chol) ratio, an endogenous biomarker for CYP3A activity, was determined at baseline, at 4 and 16 weeks of ART. Key Results In patients treated with efavirenz only, median 4β‐OHC/Chol ratios increased from baseline by 269% and 275% after 4 and 16 weeks of ART, respectively. In TB‐HIV patients, rifampicin only therapy for 4 and 8 weeks increased median 4β‐OHC/Chol ratios from baseline by 378% and 576% respectively. After efavirenz/rifampicin co‐treatment, 4β‐OHC/Chol ratios increased by 560% of baseline (4 weeks) and 456% of baseline (16 weeks). Neither time of ART initiation, sex, genotype nor efavirenz plasma concentration were significant predictors of 4β‐OHC/Chol ratios after 4 weeks of efavirenz/rifampicin co‐treatment. Conclusion and Implications Rifampicin induced CYP3A more potently than efavirenz, with maximum induction occurring within the first 4 weeks of rifampicin therapy. We provide pharmacological evidence that early (4 weeks) or deferred (8 weeks) ART initiation during anti‐TB therapy has no significant effect on CYP3A induction.

Abstract
Letermovir is used to prevent cytomegalovirus infection in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients. Although this agent decreases voriconazole exposure in healthy individuals, the effect of coadministration of letermovir and voriconazole in HSCT recipients is unknown. This retrospective, observational, single-center study was conducted between January 2016 and July 2019 to examine the voriconazole concentration-to-dose ratio over three periods: (A) (days -7 to -1 [day 0: day of HCST]), (B) (days 4-10), and (C) (days 11-17). Forty-two HSCT recipients administered voriconazole were divided into the following two groups based on letermovir coadministration: letermovir (n = 15) and control (n = 27). The percent change (-33.2%, p < 0.05) in the voriconazole concentration-to-dose ratio from periods A to C in the letermovir group was significantly lower than that in the control group. Therefore, frequent therapeutic drug monitoring of voriconazole concentrations and subsequent dose adjustments should be performed regularly in HSCT recipients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The combination of ketoconazole and dexamethasone acetate is one of the commonly used treatments in dermatology regiment for skin inflammation accompanied by fungal infections. This interaction of ketoconazole and dexamethasone may make the drug much effective, decrease the adverse reaction or toxic effects. At present, there was no information about the interaction of these two external drugs. Therefore, it was necessary to build a model to measure the levels and evaluate the interaction of ketoconazole and dexamethasone acetate in skin cells. METHODS In our study, the determination methodology of ketoconazole and dexamethasone acetate in human keratinocyte (HaCaT cells) was established and the interaction of these two drugs in cells was explored. HaCaT cells were cultured in medium containing ketoconazole, then they were sequentially cultured with or without dexamethasone acetate treatment for another 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 h. The samples were then harvested and the concentrations were quantified by enhanced BCA (the bicinchoninic acid) protein assay. Furthermore, the analytes in the cell suspension were also prepared and analyzed by LC-MS method. RESULTS As a result, ketoconazole and dexamethasone acetate were detected at the concentration range of 0.02 to 5 μg/mL and 0.2 to 100 μg/mL, respectively. The RSD (relative standard deviation) and RE (relative error) of precision and accuracy of the two analytes in the cell suspension were all less than 15 %. The matrix effect values variations were all less than 15%. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the concentration of ketoconazole with or without dexamethasone acetate treatment within 12 h. CONCLUSIONS A simple, sensitive and rapid LC-MS method which could quantify these two analytes in cells simultaneously was developed for the first time. The results of the concentration changes meant that no interaction occurred when dexamethasone sequentially administrated for 12 h after ketoconazole treatment. This method was successfully applied to establish the cell pharmacokinetics methodology and preliminary studied the metabolism of drug-drug interaction of ketoconazole and dexamethasone acetate.

Abstract
Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused my Mycobacterium leprae that primarily affects peripheral nervous system and extremities and is prevalent in tropical countries. Treatment for leprosy with multidrug regimens is very effective compared to monotherapy especially in multibacillary cases. The three major antileprosy drugs currently in use are 4, 4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS, dapsone), rifampicin, and clofazimine. During multidrug therapy, the potent antibiotic rifampicin induces the metabolism of dapsone, which results in decreased plasma half-life of dapsone and its metabolites. Furthermore, rifampicin induces its own metabolism and decreases its half-life during monotherapy. Rifampicin upregulates several hepatic microsomal drug-metabolizing enzymes, especially cytochrome P450 (CYP) family that in turn induce the metabolism of dapsone. Clofazimine lacks significant induction of any drug-metabolizing enzyme including CYP family and does not interact with dapsone metabolism. Rifampicin does not induce clofazimine metabolism during combination treatment. Administration of dapsone in the acetylated form (acedapsone) can release the drug slowly into circulation up to 75 days and could be useful for the effective treatment of paucibacillary cases along with rifampicin. This review summarizes the major aspects of antileprosy drug metabolism and drug interactions and the role of cytochrome P450 family of drug metabolizing enzymes, especially CYP3A4 during multidrug regimens for the treatment of leprosy.

Abstract
The increasing emergence of drug-resistant tuberculosis requires new effective and safe drug regimens. However, drug discovery and development are challenging, lengthy and costly. The framework of model-informed drug discovery and development (MID3) is proposed to be applied throughout the preclinical to clinical phases to provide an informative prediction of drug exposure and efficacy in humans in order to select novel anti-tuberculosis drug combinations. The MID3 includes pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic and quantitative systems pharmacology models, machine learning and artificial intelligence, which integrates all the available knowledge related to disease and the compounds. A translational in vitro-in vivo link throughout modeling and simulation is crucial to optimize the selection of regimens with the highest probability of receiving approval from regulatory authorities. In vitro-in vivo correlation (IVIVC) and physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling provide powerful tools to predict pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions based on preclinical information. Mechanistic or semi-mechanistic pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic models have been successfully applied to predict the clinical exposure-response profile for anti-tuberculosis drugs using preclinical data. Potential pharmacodynamic drug-drug interactions can be predicted from in vitro data through IVIVC and pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modeling accounting for translational factors. It is essential for academic and industrial drug developers to collaborate across disciplines to realize the huge potential of MID3.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cabotegravir and rilpivirine are 2 long-acting (LA) antiretrovirals that can be administered intramuscularly; their interaction with rifampicin, a first-line antituberculosis agent, has not been investigated. The aim of this study was to simulate and predict drug-drug interactions (DDIs) between these LA antiretroviral agents and rifampicin using physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling. METHODS The designed PBPK models were qualified (according to European Medicines Agency guidelines) against observed data for oral formulations of cabotegravir, rilpivirine, and rifampicin. Induction potential of rifampicin was also qualified by comparing the DDI between oral cabotegravir and oral rilpivirine with rifampicin. Qualified PBPK models were utilized for pharmacokinetic prediction of DDIs. RESULTS PBPK models predicted a reduction in both area under the curve (AUC0-28 days) and trough concentration (Ctrough, 28th day) of LA cabotegravir of 41%-46% for the first maintenance dose coadministered with 600 mg once-daily oral rifampicin. Rilpivirine concentrations were predicted to decrease by 82% for both AUC0-28 days and Ctrough, 28th day following the first maintenance dose when coadministered with rifampicin. CONCLUSIONS The developed PBPK models predicted the theoretical effect of rifampicin on cabotegravir and rilpivirine LA intramuscular formulations. According to these simulations, it is likely that coadministration of rifampicin with these LA formulations will result in subtherapeutic concentrations of both drugs.

Abstract
A combination of the antipsychotic olanzapine and the opioid receptor antagonist samidorphan (OLZ/SAM) is intended to provide the antipsychotic efficacy of olanzapine while mitigating olanzapine-associated weight gain. As cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2 and CYP3A4 are the major enzymes involved in metabolism of olanzapine and samidorphan, respectively, physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling was applied to predict any drug-drug interaction (DDI) potential between olanzapine and samidorphan or between OLZ/SAM and CYP3A4/CYP1A2 inhibitors/inducers. A PBPK model for OLZ/SAM was developed and validated by comparing model-simulated data with observed clinical study data. Based on model-based simulations, no DDI between olanzapine and samidorphan is expected when administered as OLZ/SAM. CYP3A4 inhibition is predicted to have a weak effect on samidorphan exposure and negligible effect on olanzapine exposure. CYP3A4 induction is predicted to reduce both samidorphan and olanzapine exposure. CYP1A2 inhibition or induction is predicted to increase or decrease, respectively, olanzapine exposure only.

Abstract
Letermovir (LMV) is a new antiviral drug used to prevent cytomegalovirus infection in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients. It has been reported to increase tacrolimus (TAC) exposure and decrease voriconazole (VRCZ) exposure in healthy participants. However, VRCZ inhibits the metabolism of TAC. Thus, the effects of LMV on TAC exposure in patients receiving VRCZ are unknown. This retrospective, observational, single-center study was conducted between May 2018 and April 2019. The TAC concentration/dose (C/D) ratio, VRCZ concentration, and VRCZ C/D ratio for 7 days before and for the first and second 7-day periods after the initiation of LMV administration were evaluated. Fourteen HSCT recipients receiving VRCZ were enrolled. There was no significant difference in the TAC C/D ratio for 7 days before and for the first and second 7-day periods after initiating LMV administration (median: 866 [IQR: 653-953], 842 [IQR: 636-1031], and 906 [IQR: 824-1210] [ng/mL]/[mg/kg], respectively). In contrast, the VRCZ C/D ratio and concentration for the first and second 7-day periods after LMV initiation were significantly lower than those before initiating LMV administration (mean 1.11 ± 0.07, 0.12 ± 0.08, and 0.22 ± 0.12 [μg/mL]/[mg/kg] and 0.7 ± 0.5, 0.8 ± 0.5, and 1.3 ± 0.7 μg/mL, respectively; n = 12). This can be explained by the increase in TAC concentration caused by CYP3A4 inhibition due to LMV and by the decrease in TAC concentration ascribed to the decrease in VRCZ concentration by CYP2C19 induction due to LMV. These results suggest that it is unnecessary to adjust the dose of TAC based on LMV initiation; however, it is necessary to adjust the dose of TAC based on conventional TAC concentration measurements.

Effects of Upadacitinib Coadministration on the Pharmacokinetics of Sensitive Cytochrome P450 Probe Substrates: A Study With the Modified Cooperstown 5+1 Cocktail. J Clin Pharmacol 2020; 60:86-95. [PMID: 31378969 PMCID: PMC6972567 DOI: 10.1002/jcph.1496] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2019] [Accepted: 06/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to characterize the effects of upadacitinib, a Janus kinase 1 inhibitor, on in vivo activity of different cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes using a cocktail approach. Healthy subjects (n = 20) received single oral doses of the modified Cooperstown 5+1 cocktail drugs (midazolam [CYP3A], caffeine [CYP1A2], warfarin + vitamin K [CYP2C9], omeprazole [CYP2C19], and dextromethorphan [CYP2D6]) without upadacitinib and on day 11 (midazolam) or 12 (all other probes) of a 15-day regimen of upadacitinib 30 mg once daily (extended-release formulation). Serial blood samples and 12-hour urine samples were collected for assays of the probe substrates and select metabolites. The ratio (90%CI) of area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity (AUCinf ) central values when the cocktail drugs were administered with upadacitinib relative to when administered alone were 0.74 (0.68-0.80) for midazolam, 1.22 (1.15-1.29) for caffeine, 1.11 (1.07-1.15) for S-warfarin, 1.07 (0.95-1.22) for dextromethorphan, and 0.82 (0.72-0.94) for omeprazole. The ratio (90%CI) was 1.09 (1.00-1.19) for 5-hydroxy-omeprazole to omeprazole AUCinf ratio and 1.17 (0.97-1.41) for dextromethorphan to dextrorphan 12-hour molar urinary ratio. Upadacitinib 30 mg once daily (a dose that is twice the optimal dose in rheumatoid arthritis based on phase 3 results) has a limited effect on CYP3A activity (26% decrease in exposure of midazolam, a sensitive CYP3A substrate) and no relevant effects on CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP2D6 activity in vivo. No clinically relevant changes in plasma exposures are expected for drugs that are substrates for the evaluated CYP enzymes when coadministered with upadacitinib.

Abstract
This is the first report quantitatively evaluating the clinical induction of CYP3A in the liver and the intestine.To evaluate hepatic induction, we collected literature data on endogenous biomarkers of hepatic CYP3A induction which we then used to calculate the fold-induction (inducer-mediated change in biomarker level). Literature data on decreases in the area under the curve (AUC) of alfentanil, a CYP3A substrate, caused by CYP3A inducers were also collected. We used the hepatic intrinsic clearance of alfentanil to calculate the hepatic induction ratio (inducer-mediated change in intrinsic clearance). For intestinal induction, the intestinal bioavailability (Fg) of alfentanil was used to calculate the intestinal induction ratio. We determined in vivo maximum induction (Emax) and the average unbound plasma concentration (Cav,u) required for half the maximum induction (EC50) for inducers using an Emax model analysis.In our results, fold-induction was comparable to the induction ratio at several inducer concentrations, and almost the maximum induction was achieved by a therapeutic dose. Induction ratios in the intestine were similar to the liver.Our findings suggest that, by knowing only hepatic induction ratios for common inducers, we can quantitatively predict the decreases in the AUC of substrates by CYP3A induction.

Abstract
Predicting drug-induced liver injury is important in early stage drug discovery; however, an accurate prediction with existing hepatotoxicity evaluation tools is difficult. Conventional monolayer (2D) cultures have short viabilities and are therefore inappropriate for performing long-term toxicity tests. Conventionally used 200-μm spheroids also have toxicity detection limits. The goal of this study was to develop a humanized liver tissue capable of evaluating long-term toxicity with high sensitivity. Spheroids consisting of co-cultured cryopreserved primary human hepatocytes and human hepatic stellate cells were developed using a 3D bio-printer. The "3D bio-printed liver tissue", of ∼1 mm, was then used for long-term viability assessments (over 25 days) based on ATP, albumin, and urea levels. Hepatotoxicity evaluation was performed by analyzing the expression of genes involved in drug metabolism and transport over a 2-week drug exposure period. The 3D bio-printed liver tissue showed improved viability and enhanced gene expression of enzymes related to drug metabolism and transport, as compared to the controls. Additionally, the 3D bio-printed liver tissue demonstrated a high sensitivity for hepatotoxicity evaluation when combined with pathological evaluation and measurements for ATP production, and secretion of albumin and urea. In conclusion, the 3D bio-printed liver tissue was able to detect the toxicity of compounds that was, otherwise, undetected by 2D culture and conventionally used spheroids. These findings demonstrate a 3D bio-printed liver tissue with increased accuracy of hepatotoxicity prediction in the early stages of drug discovery, as compared to currently available methods.

Abstract
Pitfalls in hormonal assays are commonly seen in clinical practice and may lead to erroneous clinical impressions and treatments. In this article, we address common laboratory pitfalls encountered during evaluation of patients with real or presumed endocrine disorders including high dose hook effect and falsely normal prolactin in cases of macroprolactinomas, macroprolactinemia and falsely elevated prolactin, macrothyrotropinemia and falsely elevated TSH, heterophile antibodies leading to false elevation of hormonal concentration, biotin interference with different hormonal assays, cross-reactivity of steroid hormones immunoassays, and others. We describe the mechanisms of such laboratory pitfalls, review clinical scenarios in which they might occur, and discuss the ways to resolve such conundrums. The aim of this article is to present a learning material for the endocrine trainees and practitioners.

Lancet HIV 2018; 6:S2352-3018(18)30293-5. [PMID: 30529029 DOI: 10.1016/s2352-3018(18)30293-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2018] [Revised: 10/08/2018] [Accepted: 10/12/2018] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rifampicin reduces lopinavir concentrations in HIV and tuberculosis co-treated patients. We hypothesised that adding ritonavir to co-formulated lopinavir-ritonavir (4:1) to achieve a one-to-one ratio would overcome this drug-drug interaction in young children. METHODS We did a prospective, open-label, one-group, one-sequence study at five sites in three South African provinces. We included HIV-infected children with tuberculosis, a bodyweight of 3-15 kg, and a post-conceptional age of more than 42 weeks. Children received the standard four-to-one ratio of lopinavir-ritonavir in the absence of rifampicin-based anti-tuberculosis treatment, whereas super-boosting of lopinavir-ritonavir with additional ritonavir was given orally twice a day to achieve a one-to-one ratio during rifampicin treatment. The primary outcome was the comparison of the proportion of children with predicted lopinavir morning minimum concentrations (Cmin) of more than 1·0 mg/L during super-boosting with the proportion of more than 1·0 mg/L during standard lopinavir-ritonavir treatment without rifampicin. Lopinavir concentrations were determined before and at 1, 2, 4, 6, and 10 h after the morning dose during the second and the last month of tuberculosis co-treatment, and 4-6 weeks after stopping rifampicin. A non-linear mixed-effects model was implemented to interpret the data and Monte Carlo simulations were used to compare the percentage of lopinavir with morning Cmin values of less than 1·0 mg/L for the two dosing schemes. A non-inferiority margin of 10% was used. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02348177. FINDINGS Between Jan 30, 2013, and Nov 9, 2015, 96 children with a median age of 18·2 months (IQR 9·6-26·8) were enrolled. Of these 96 children, 80 (83%) completed the first three pharmacokinetic evaluations. Tuberculosis therapy was started before antiretrovirals in 70 (73%) children. The model-predicted percentage of morning Cmin of less than 1·0 mg/L after tuberculosis treatment without super-boosting was 8·8% (95% CI 0·6-19·8) versus 7·6% (0·4-16·2) during super-boosting and tuberculosis treatment. The difference of -1·1% (95% CI -6·9 to 3·2), at a non-inferiority margin of 10%, confirmed the non-inferiority of lopinavir trough concentrations during rifampicin co-treatment. 19 serious adverse events were reported in 12 participants. Three deaths and a temporary treatment interruption due to jaundice were unrelated to study treatment. INTERPRETATION Lopinavir exposure with ritonavir super-boosting in a one-to-one ratio during rifampicin-based tuberculosis treatment was non-inferior to the exposure with lopinavir-ritonavir without rifampicin. Safe and effective, field application of super-boosting is limited by poor acceptability. Access to better adapted solid formulations will most likely facilitate public health implementation of this strategy. FUNDING DNDi, French Development Agency, UBS Optimus Foundation, and Unitaid.

Abstract
A quantitative analysis of dose-response relationships is essential in preclinical and clinical drug development in order to optimize drug efficacy and safety, respectively. However, there is a lack of quantitative understanding about the dynamics of pharmacological drug-target interactions in biological systems. In this study, a quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) approach is applied to quantify the drug efficacy of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) inhibitors by coupling physiologically based pharmacokinetic models, at the whole-body level, with affected biological networks, at the cellular scale. Both COX-2 and 5-LOX are key enzymes in the production of inflammatory mediators and are known targets in the design of anti-inflammatory drugs. Drug efficacy is here evaluated for single and appropriate co-treatment of diclofenac, celecoxib, zileuton, and licofelone by quantitatively studying the reduction of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. The impact of rifampicin pre-treatment on prostaglandin formation is also investigated by considering pharmacokinetic drug interactions with diclofenac and celecoxib, finally suggesting optimized dose levels to compensate for the reduced drug action. Furthermore, a strong correlation was found between pain relief observed in patients as well as celecoxib- and diclofenac-induced decrease in prostaglandins after 6 h. The findings presented reveal insights about drug-induced modulation of cellular networks in a whole-body context, thereby describing complex pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic behavior of COX-2 and 5-LOX inhibitors in therapeutic situations. The results demonstrate the clinical benefit of using QSP to predict drug efficacy and, hence, encourage its use in future drug discovery and development programs.

Abstract
The pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a drug/xenobiotic-activated transcription factor of crucial importance for major cytochrome P450 xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes (CYP) expression and regulation in the liver and the intestine. One of the major target genes regulated by PXR is the cytochrome P450 enzyme (CYP3A4), which is the most important human drug-metabolizing enzyme. In addition, PXR is supposed to be involved both in basal and/or inducible expression of many other CYPs, such as CYP2B6, CYP2C8, 2C9 and 2C19, CYP3A5, CYP3A7, and CYP2A6. Interestingly, the dynamics of PXR-mediated target genes regulation has not been systematically studied and we have only a few mechanistic mathematical and biologically based models describing gene expression dynamics after PXR activation in cellular models. Furthermore, few indirect mathematical PKPD models for prediction of CYP3A metabolic activity in vivo have been built based on compartmental models with respect to drug–drug interactions or hormonal crosstalk. Importantly, several negative feedback loops have been described in PXR regulation. Although current mathematical models propose these adaptive mechanisms, a comprehensive mathematical model based on sufficient experimental data is still missing. In the current review, we summarize and compare these models and address some issues that should be considered for the improvement of PXR-mediated gene regulation modelling as well as for our better understanding of the quantitative and spatial dynamics of CYPs expression.

Abstract
The first-order degradation rate constant (kdeg) of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes is a known source of uncertainty in the prediction of time-dependent drug-drug interactions (DDIs) in physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling. This study aimed to measure CYP kdeg using siRNA to suppress CYP expression in primary human hepatocytes followed by incubation over a time-course and tracking of protein expression and activity to observe degradation. The magnitude of gene knockdown was determined by qPCR and activity was measured by probe substrate metabolite formation and CYP2B6-Glo™ assay. Protein disappearance was determined by Western blotting. During a time-course of 96 and 60 h of incubation, over 60% and 76% mRNA knockdown was observed for CYP3A4 and CYP2B6, respectively. The kdeg of CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 protein was 0.0138 h-1 (±0.0023) and 0.0375 h-1 (±0.025), respectively. The kdeg derived from probe substrate metabolism activity was 0.0171 h-1 (±0.0025) for CYP3A4 and 0.0258 h-1 (±0.0093) for CYP2B6. The CYP3A4 kdeg values derived from protein disappearance and metabolic activity were in relatively good agreement with each other and similar to published values. This novel approach can now be used for other less well-characterised CYPs.

Abstract
Drug-drug interactions mediated by drug metabolizing enzymes are serious, clinically relevant issues. Prediction and evaluation of the probability and consequences of drug-drug interactions are essential during drug development, as well as during clinical application. A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model, which considers the hierarchical structure of the physiological behavior of drugs, has been demonstrated to be effective for in vitro-in vivo extrapolation of the phenomena of drug-drug interaction (DDI). While commercial software that implements PBPK models is now available, increasing attention has been given to developing similar models on open platforms for systems biology modeling and simulation. Open simulation model development environments, including CellDesigner and PhysioDesigner, have been developed and improved with the advent of research fields associated with systems biology or synthetic biology. Model developers implement their models using the platform, then publish the models in public databases. Through sharing and reuse among researchers, these models can become more generalized and sophisticated. This review article aims to discuss the attractive features and potential of these open platforms, and to evaluate the prediction effectiveness for enzyme induction-based drug-drug interactions via integrating the PBPK models of inducers and substrates and the dynamic models of enzyme induction kinetics.

Abstract
Meglitinides such as repaglinide and nateglinide are useful to treat type 2 diabetes patients who follow a flexible lifestyle. They are short-acting insulin secretagogues and are associated with less risk of hypoglycemia, weight gain and chronic hyperinsulinemia compared with sulfonylureas. Meglitinides are the substrates of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes and organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1 transporter) and the coadministration of the drugs affecting them will result in pharmacokinetic drug interactions. This article focuses on the drug interactions of meglitinides involving CYP enzymes and OATP1B1 transporter. To prevent the risk of hypoglycemic episodes, prescribers and pharmacists must be aware of the adverse drug interactions of meglitinides.

Abstract
At clinically relevant ixazomib concentrations, in vitro studies demonstrated that no specific cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme predominantly contributes to ixazomib metabolism. However, at higher than clinical concentrations, ixazomib was metabolized by multiple CYP isoforms, with the estimated relative contribution being highest for CYP3A at 42%. This multiarm phase 1 study (Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT01454076) investigated the effect of the strong CYP3A inhibitors ketoconazole and clarithromycin and the strong CYP3A inducer rifampin on the pharmacokinetics of ixazomib. Eighty-eight patients were enrolled across the 3 drug-drug interaction studies; the ixazomib toxicity profile was consistent with previous studies. Ketoconazole and clarithromycin had no clinically meaningful effects on the pharmacokinetics of ixazomib. The geometric least-squares mean area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to 264 hours postdose ratio (90%CI) with vs without ketoconazole coadministration was 1.09 (0.91-1.31) and was 1.11 (0.86-1.43) with vs without clarithromycin coadministration. Reduced plasma exposures of ixazomib were observed following coadministration with rifampin. Ixazomib area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to the time of the last quantifiable concentration was reduced by 74% (geometric least-squares mean ratio of 0.26 [90%CI 0.18-0.37]), and maximum observed plasma concentration was reduced by 54% (geometric least-squares mean ratio of 0.46 [90%CI 0.29-0.73]) in the presence of rifampin. The clinical drug-drug interaction study results were reconciled well by a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model that incorporated a minor contribution of CYP3A to overall ixazomib clearance and quantitatively considered the strength of induction of CYP3A and intestinal P-glycoprotein by rifampin. On the basis of these study results, the ixazomib prescribing information recommends that patients should avoid concomitant administration of strong CYP3A inducers with ixazomib.
