Abstract
Voriconazole is a second-generation, synthetic, triazole antifungal drug based on the structure of fluconazole. We compared the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic characteristics of voriconazole for injection (200 mg) manufactured by at a dose of 6 mg/kg in Chinese healthy adult volunteers. This was a single-center, randomized, open, 2-preparation, single-dose, 2-period, 2-sequence, crossover bioequivalence clinical trial. Twenty-four eligible, healthy, male, and female volunteers were assigned randomly to one of 2 dose-sequence groups (test-reference group or reference-test group) in a 1:1 block. The voriconazole concentration in plasma was determined by protein precipitation and high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The main PK parameters were calculated on the basis of a noncompartmental model. The ratio of the geometric mean of the maximum plasma drug concentration, area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to the last time of quantifiable concentration, and area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity of the test preparation, and the reference preparation was 100.4%, 102%, and 102.2%, respectively. The 90% confidence intervals were between 80% and 125%, indicating that the 2 preparations were bioequivalent. The adverse events experienced by healthy adult volunteers were mild. Both preparations had a good safety profile.

NAT2 phenotype alters pharmacokinetics of rivaroxaban in healthy volunteers. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 165:115058. [PMID: 37385211 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 07/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Rivaroxaban is a direct inhibitor of factor Xa, a member of direct oral anticoagulant group of drugs (DOACs). Despite being a widely extended alternative to vitamin K antagonists (i.e., acenocoumarol, warfarin) the interindividual variability of DOACs is significant, and may be related to adverse drug reaction occurrence or drug inefficacy, namely hemorrhagic or thromboembolic events. Since there is not a consistent analytic practice to monitor the anticoagulant activity of DOACs, previously reported polymorphisms in genes coding for proteins responsible for the activation, transport, or metabolism of DOACs were studied. The study population comprised 60 healthy volunteers, who completed two randomized, crossover bioequivalence clinical trials between two different rivaroxaban formulations. The effect of food, sex, biogeographical origin and 55 variants (8 phenotypes and 47 single nucleotide polymorphisms) in drug metabolizing enzyme genes (such as CYP2D6, CYP2C9, NAT2) and transporters (namely, ABCB1, ABCG2) on rivaroxaban pharmacokinetics was tested. Individuals dosed under fasting conditions presented lower tmax (2.21 h vs 2.88 h, β = 1.19, R2 =0.342, p = 0.012) compared to fed volunteers. NAT2 slow acetylators presented higher AUC∞ corrected by dose/weight (AUC∞/DW; 8243.90 vs 7698.20 and 7161.25 h*ng*mg /ml*kg, β = 0.154, R2 =0.250, p = 0.044), higher Cmax/DW (1070.99 vs 834.81 and 803.36 ng*mg /ml*kg, β = 0.245, R2 =0.320, p = 0.002), and lower tmax (2.63 vs 3.19 and 4.15 h, β = -0.346, R2 =0.282, p = 0.047) than NAT2 rapid and intermediate acetylators. No other association was statistically significant. Thus, slow NAT2 appear to have altered rivaroxaban pharmacokinetics, increasing AUC∞ and Cmax. Nonetheless, further research should be conducted to verify NAT2 involvement on rivaroxaban pharmacokinetics and to determine its clinical significance.

Nanotechnology-Based Approaches for Voriconazole Delivery Applied to Invasive Fungal Infections. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15010266. [PMID: 36678893 PMCID: PMC9863752 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15010266] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2022] [Revised: 12/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Invasive fungal infections increase mortality and morbidity rates worldwide. The treatment of these infections is still limited due to the low bioavailability and toxicity, requiring therapeutic monitoring, especially in the most severe cases. Voriconazole is an azole widely used to treat invasive aspergillosis, other hyaline molds, many dematiaceous molds, Candida spp., including those resistant to fluconazole, and for infections caused by endemic mycoses, in addition to those that occur in the central nervous system. However, despite its broad activity, using voriconazole has limitations related to its non-linear pharmacokinetics, leading to supratherapeutic doses and increased toxicity according to individual polymorphisms during its metabolism. In this sense, nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems have successfully improved the physicochemical and biological aspects of different classes of drugs, including antifungals. In this review, we highlighted recent work that has applied nanotechnology to deliver voriconazole. These systems allowed increased permeation and deposition of voriconazole in target tissues from a controlled and sustained release in different routes of administration such as ocular, pulmonary, oral, topical, and parenteral. Thus, nanotechnology application aiming to delivery voriconazole becomes a more effective and safer therapeutic alternative in the treatment of fungal infections.

Effect of Dexamethasone on the Incidence and Outcome of COVID-19 Associated Pulmonary Aspergillosis (CAPA) in Critically Ill Patients during First- and Second Pandemic Wave-A Single Center Experience. Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 12:diagnostics12123049. [PMID: 36553055 PMCID: PMC9777363 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12123049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 11/28/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Superinfections with Aspergillus spp. in patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (CAPA: COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis) are increasing. Dexamethasone has shown beneficial effects in critically ill COVID-19 patients. Whether dexamethasone increases the risk of CAPA has not been studied exclusively. Moreover, this retrospective study aimed to identify risk factors for a worse outcome in critically ill COVID-19 patients. Data from 231 critically ill COVID-19 patients with or without dexamethasone treatment from March 2020 and March 2021 were retrospectively analysed. Only 4/169 (6.5%) in the DEXA-group and 13/62 (7.7%) in the Non-DEXA group were diagnosed with probable CAPA (p = 0.749). Accordingly, dexamethasone was not identified as a risk factor for CAPA. Moreover, CAPA was not identified as an independent risk factor for death in multivariable analysis (p = 0.361). In contrast, elevated disease severity (as assessed by Sequential Organ Failure Assessment [SOFA]-score) and the need for organ support (kidney replacement therapy and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [ECMO]) were significantly associated with a worse outcome. Therefore, COVID-19 treatment with dexamethasone did not increase the risk for CAPA. Moreover, adequately treated CAPA did not represent an independent risk factor for mortality. Accordingly, CAPA might reflect patients' severe disease state instead of directly influencing outcome.

Abstract
Aim: Prevalence of clinically actionable genetic variants of CYP2C19 is lacking in specific population subgroups. This study aims to assess the frequencies of CYP2C19*2, *3, and *17 in Asian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) population subgroups compared with Europeans. Patients & methods: The study included repository DNA samples of 1064 women, 18 years or older, who self-reported as Filipino, Korean, Japanese, Native Hawaiian, Marshallese and Samoan. Results: The overall frequencies of CYP2C19*2 (25-36%) and CYP2C19*3 (2.5-10%) were significantly higher in all our subgroups than in Europeans (15 and 0.02%, respectively). The overall frequency of CYP2C19*17 was significantly lower in all our subgroups (1-6%) than in Europeans (21.7%). Conclusion: This is the first report on the frequencies of CYP2C19*2, *3, and *17 in women of Asian and NHPI descent with distinct population subgroup differences. Differential allele frequencies of CYP2C19 among population subgroups underscore the importance of increasing racial and ethnic diversity in pharmacogenetic research.

Abstract
The small-molecule drug voriconazole (VRC) shows a complex and not yet fully understood metabolism. Consequently, its in vivo pharmacokinetics are challenging to predict, leading to therapy failures or adverse events. Thus, a quantitative in vitro characterization of the metabolism and inhibition properties of VRC for human CYP enzymes was aimed for. The Michaelis-Menten kinetics of voriconazole N-oxide (NO) formation, the major circulating metabolite, by CYP2C19, CYP2C9 and CYP3A4, was determined in incubations of human recombinant CYP enzymes and liver and intestine microsomes. The contribution of the individual enzymes to NO formation was 63.1% CYP2C19, 13.4% CYP2C9 and 29.5% CYP3A4 as determined by specific CYP inhibition in microsomes and intersystem extrapolation factors. The type of inhibition and inhibitory potential of VRC, NO and hydroxyvoriconazole (OH-VRC), emerging to be formed independently of CYP enzymes, were evaluated by their effects on CYP marker reactions. Time-independent inhibition by VRC, NO and OH-VRC was observed on all three enzymes with NO being the weakest and VRC and OH-VRC being comparably strong inhibitors of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4. CYP2C19 was significantly inhibited by VRC only. Overall, the quantitative in vitro evaluations of the metabolism contributed to the elucidation of the pharmacokinetics of VRC and provided a basis for physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling and thus VRC treatment optimization.

Abstract
This study aimed to employ a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model to optimize the dosing regimen of voriconazole (VRC) in children with a critical illness. A total of 99 children aged from 0.44 to 13.58 years were included in this study. The stability and predictive performance of the final model were evaluated by statistical and graphical methods. The optimal dosing regimen was proposed for children with different body weights, CYP2C19 phenotypes, and coadministrations with omeprazole. The PK of VRC was described by a two-compartment model with nonlinear Michaelis-Menten elimination. Body weight, CYP2C19 phenotype, and omeprazole were significant covariates on the maximum velocity of elimination (Vmax), which had an estimated typical value of 18.13 mg · h-1. Bayesian estimation suggested that the dose-normalized concentration and total exposure (peak concentration [Cmax]/D, trough concentration [Cmin]/D, and area under the concentration-time curve over 24 h [AUC24]/D) were significantly different between extensive metabolizer (EM) patients and poor metabolizer (PM) patients. To achieve the target concentration early, two loading doses of 9 mg · kg-1 of body weight every 12 h (q12h) were reliable for most children, whereas three loading doses of 6 to 7.5 mg · kg-1 q8h were warranted for young children weighing ≤18 kg (except for PM patients). The maintenance doses decreased about 30 to 40% in PM patients compared to that in EM patients. For children aged <2 years, in EM patients, the maintenance dose could be as high as 9 mg · kg-1. The maintenance dose of VRC was supposed to decrease slightly when coadministered with omeprazole. A population PK model of intravenous VRC for critically ill children has been successfully developed. It is necessary to adjust dosing regimens according to the CYP2C19 genotype. Optimal dosing regimens have been recommended based on the final model.

Abstract
Background Voriconazole, a triazole antifungal agent exhibits broad-spectrum antifungal activity. It is used to treat severe, invasive fungal infections, including invasive aspergillosis and candidemia. The aim of this study was to assess the pharmacokinetic equivalence of a test formulation (Vorico® Injection) and reference formulation (Vfend® IV) of voriconazole. Materials and Methods This was a randomized, open-label, single-dose, three-group, two-treatment, two-sequence, two-period, crossover phase I trial with 7-day washout periods (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT02631954). Twenty-four healthy Korean male subjects were recruited. In each group, eight subjects were randomized in a 1:1 manner to receive a single dose of 200 mg test or reference formulation intravenously over 1.5 h. Blood samples were collected over 24 h post-dose, and plasma drug concentrations were determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined using a non-compartmental analysis, and safety was evaluated. Results Twenty-three subjects completed the study. The geometric mean ratio (90% confidence interval) of the test formulation to reference formulation was 0.9570 (0.8178 – 1.1199) for the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and 1.0720 (1.0262 – 1.1198) for the area under the concentration–time curve from dosing to the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast). The mean plasma concentration–time profiles, pharmacokinetic parameters, and safety were comparable between the two formulations. Conclusion Equivalent pharmacokinetic characteristics that satisfied the criteria of bioequivalence and similar safety profiles were observed for both test and reference formulations of voriconazole.

[PMID: 32461666 DOI: 10.1038/s41397-020-0166-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2018] [Revised: 05/07/2020] [Accepted: 05/14/2020] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
High pharmacokinetic variability of voriconazole is mainly explained by CYP2C19 phenotype, but there are still unknown factors affecting the variability. In this study, the effect of solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 2B1 (SLCO2B1) genotype on the pharmacokinetics (PKs) of voriconazole was evaluated in 12 healthy CYP2C19 poor metabolizers after a single administration of voriconazole 200 mg intravenously and orally. In addition, the influence of CYP3A4 enzyme activity was also explored. The oral absorption of voriconazole was decreased and delayed in the subjects with the SLCO2B1 c.*396T>C variant compared to the subjects with wild type. However, the CYP3A activity markers measured in this study did not show significant association with metabolism of voriconazole. The results suggest that the SLCO2B1 c.*396T>C may be associated with the decreased function of intestinal OATP2B1, and it could contribute to interindividual PK variability of voriconazole.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a large inter-individual variation in cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) activity. The variability can be caused by the genetic polymorphism of CYP2C19 gene. This study aimed to investigate the molecular and kinetics basis for activity changes in three alleles including CYP2C19*23, CYP2C19*24 and CYP2C19*25found in the Chinese population. METHODS The three variants expressed by bacteria were investigated using substrate (omeprazole and 3- cyano-7-ethoxycoumarin[CEC]) and inhibitor (ketoconazole, fluoxetine, sertraline and loratadine) probes in enzyme assays along with molecular docking. RESULTS All alleles exhibited very low enzyme activity and affinity towards omeprazole and CEC (6.1% or less in intrinsic clearance). The inhibition studies with the four inhibitors, however, suggested that mutations in different variants have a tendency to cause enhanced binding (reduced IC50 values). The enhanced binding could partially be explained by the lower polar solvent accessible surface area of the inhibitors relative to the substrates. Molecular docking indicated that G91R, R335Q and F448L, the unique mutations in the alleles, have caused slight alteration in the substrate access channel morphology and a more compact active site cavity hence affecting ligand access and binding. It is likely that these structural alterations in CYP2C19 proteins have caused ligand-specific alteration in catalytic and inhibitory specificities as observed in the in vitro assays. CONCLUSION This study indicates that CYP2C19 variant selectivity for ligands was not solely governed by mutation-induced modifications in the active site architecture, but the intrinsic properties of the probe compounds also played a vital role.

Abstract
Background: Invasive mycoses are serious infections with high mortality and increasing inci-dence. Voriconazole, an important drug to treat invasive mycosis, is metabolized mainly by the cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily C member 19 enzyme (CYP2C19) and is affected by the genotypes of CYP2C19. Objective: We reviewed studies on how genotypes affect the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of voriconazole, and attempted to determine a method to decide on dosage adjustments based on genotypes, after which, the main characteristic of voriconazole was clarified in details. The pharmacokinetics of voriconazole are influenced by various inter and intrapersonal factors, and for certain populations, such as geriatric patients and pediatric patients, these influences must be considered. CYP2C19 genotype represents the main part of the interpersonal variability related to voriconazole blood concentrations. Thus monitoring the concentration of voriconazole is needed in clinical scenarios to minimize the negative influences of inter and intrapersonal factors. Several studies provided evidence on the stable trough concentration range from 1-2 to 4-6 mg/L, which was combined to consider the efficacy and toxicity. However, the therapeutic drug concentration needs to be narrowed down and evaluated by large-scale clinical trials. Conclusion: Though there is insufficient evidence on the relationship between CYP2C19 genotypes and clinical outcomes, there is a great potential for the initial voriconazole dose selection to be guided by the CYP2C19 genotype. Finally, voriconazole therapeutic drug monitoring is essential to provide patient-specific dosing recommendations, leading to more effective anti-fungal regimens to increase clinical effica-cy and reduce adverse drug reactions.

Abstract
Highly variable and non-linear pharmacokinetics of voriconazole are mainly caused by CYP2C19 polymorphisms. This study aimed to develop a mechanistic population pharmacokinetic model including the CYP2C19 phenotype, and to assess the appropriateness of various dosing regimens based on the therapeutic target. A total of 1,828 concentrations from 193 subjects were included in the population pharmacokinetic analysis. A three-compartment model with an inhibition compartment appropriately described the voriconazole pharmacokinetics reflecting auto-inhibition. Voriconazole clearance in the CYP2C19 intermediate metabolizers (IMs) and poor metabolizers (PMs) decreased by 17% and 53% compared to that in the extensive metabolizers (EMs). There was a time-dependent inhibition of clearance to 16.2% of its original value in the CYP2C19 EMs, and the extent of inhibition differed according to the CYP2C19 phenotypes. The proposed CYP2C19 phenotype-guided initial dosing regimens are 400 mg twice daily (bid) for EMs, 200 mg bid for IMs, and 100 mg bid for PMs. This CYP2C19 phenotype-guided initial dosing regimen will provide a rationale for individualizing the optimal voriconazole therapy.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between CYP2C19 genotype and dose-adjusted voriconazole (VCZ) trough concentrations (C0/dose).We analyzed the correlation between CYP2C192(681G>A), CYP2C193(636G>A), and CYP2C1917(-806C>T) genetic polymorphisms and the dose-corrected pre-dose concentration (C0/dose) in 106 South-western Chinese Han patients.The frequencies of variant alleles of CYP2C192, 3, and 17 were 29.7%, 4.25%, and 0.92%. For 49.3% of the VCZ samples, the therapeutic window between 1.5 and 5.5 μg/ml was reached. Following the first dose VCZ measurement, in subsequent samples the proportion of VCZ C0 within the therapeutic window increased, suggesting effective therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) (P = .001). The VCZ C0 was significantly different (P = .010) between patients with normal metabolism (NMs), intermediate metabolism (IMs), and poor metabolism (PMs). The VZC C0/dose was 12.2 (interquartile range (IQR), 8.33-18.2 μg·ml/kg·day), and 7.68 (IQR, 4.07-16.3 μg·ml/kg·day) in PMs and IMs patients, respectively, which was significantly higher than in NMs phenotype patients (4.68; IQR, 2.51-8.87 μg·ml/kg·day, P = .008 and P = .014).This study demonstrated that the VCZ C0/dose was significantly influenced by the CYP2C19 genotype in South-western Chinese Han patients. In this patient population, more over-exposure was observed in patients with a CYP2C19 genotype associated with poor or intermediate metabolism. CYP2C19 genotype-based dosing combined with TDM will support individualization of VCZ dosing, and potentially will minimize toxicity and maximize therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Voriconazole (VCZ) is a new-generation triazol antifungal agent. CYP2C19 mutations have been reported to cause variability in VCZ pharmacokinetics, and thus lead to undesirable effects of pharmacotherapy. We observed four Caucasian patients who underwent allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, treated with voriconazole for prevention of fungal infections, to establish the impact of CYP2C19*2/*17 genotype on side effect occurrence. METHODS Genetic testing for CYP2C19 allele*2 and*17 was performed using two PCR-RFLP methods established by Goldstein and Blaisdell, and Sim et al. All four patients presented CYP2C19*2/*17 genotype. RESULTS The patients suffered from gastrointestinal, dermatological, neurological, hepatobiliary and renal adverse drug reactions (ADR). ADR could be best described by the use of VCZ. Other drugs potentially causing side effects were also taken into consideration. The presented complications were temporary and did not force dosage regimen adjustments or discontinuation of pharmacotherapy. After 2 months, the patients were discharged from hospital. CONCLUSIONS Drug-drug interactions and ADR may occur even if an agent is used for prophylaxis only. We, therefore, should use any available tools for pharmacotherapy optimization-also genetic testing.
