Abstract
Measured rates of in vitro intrinsic clearance for fish may be extrapolated to the whole animal as a means of estimating a whole-body biotransformation rate constant (kB; d-1). This estimate of kB can then be used as an input to existing bioaccumulation prediction models. Most in vitro-in vivo extrapolation/bioaccumulation (IVIVE/B) modeling efforts to date have focused on predicting the chemical bioconcentration in fish (aqueous only exposure), with less attention paid to dietary exposures. Following dietary uptake, biotransformation in the gut lumen, intestinal epithelia, and liver can reduce chemical accumulation; however, current IVIVE/B models do not consider these first pass clearance effects on dietary uptake. Here we present an amended IVIVE/B model that accounts for first pass clearance. The model is then used to examine how biotransformation in the liver and intestinal epithelia (alone or combined) may impact chemical accumulation that occurs during dietary exposure. First pass clearance by the liver can greatly reduce dietary uptake of contaminants, but these effects are only apparent at rapid rates of in vitro biotransformation (first order depletion rate constant kDEP ≥ 10 h-1). The impact of first pass clearance becomes more pronounced when biotransformation in the intestinal epithelia is included in the model. Modelled results suggest that biotransformation in the liver and intestinal epithelia cannot entirely explain reduced dietary uptake reported in several in vivo bioaccumulation tests. This unexplained reduction in dietary uptake is attributed to chemical degradation in the gut lumen. These findings underscore the need for research to directly investigate luminal biotransformation in fish.

Frechen S, Rostami-Hodjegan A. Quality Assurance of PBPK Modeling Platforms and Guidance on Building, Evaluating, Verifying and Applying PBPK Models Prudently under the Umbrella of Qualification: Why, When, What, How and By Whom? Pharm Res 2022; 39:1733-1748.

Abstract
Modeling and simulation emerges as a fundamental asset of drug development. Mechanistic modeling builds upon its strength to integrate various data to represent a detailed structural knowledge of a physiological and biological system and is capable of informing numerous drug development and regulatory decisions via extrapolations outside clinically studied scenarios. Herein, physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling is the fastest growing branch, and its use for particular applications is already expected or explicitly recommended by regulatory agencies. Therefore, appropriate applications of PBPK necessitates trust in the predictive capability of the tool, the underlying software platform, and related models. That has triggered a discussion on concepts of ensuring credibility of model-based derived conclusions. Questions like 'why', 'when', 'what', 'how' and 'by whom' remain open. We seek for harmonization of recent ideas, perceptions, and related terminology. First, we provide an overview on quality assurance of PBPK platforms with the two following concepts. Platform validation: ensuring software integrity, security, traceability, correctness of mathematical models and accuracy of algorithms. Platform qualification: demonstrating the predictive capability of a PBPK platform within a particular context of use. Second, we provide guidance on executing dedicated PBPK studies. A step-by-step framework focuses on the definition of the question of interest, the context of use, the assessment of impact and risk, the definition of the modeling strategy, the evaluation of the platform, performing model development including model building, evaluation and verification, the evaluation of applicability to address the question, and the model application under the umbrella of a qualified platform.

Impact of route-dependent phase-II gut metabolism and enterohepatic circulation on the bioavailability and systemic disposition of resveratrol in rats and humans: A comprehensive whole body physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling. Biomed Pharmacother 2022; 151:113141. [PMID: 35609369 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2022.113141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Revised: 05/09/2022] [Accepted: 05/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Resveratrol, a natural polyphenolic phytoalexin, is a dietary supplement that improves the outcomes of metabolic, cardiovascular, and other age-related diseases due to its diverse pharmacological activities. Although there have been several preclinical and clinical investigations of resveratrol, the contributions of gut phase-II metabolism and enterohepatic circulation to the oral bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of resveratrol remain unclear. Furthermore, a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model that accurately describes and predicts the systemic exposure profiles of resveratrol in clinical settings has not been developed. Experimental data were acquired from several perspectives, including in vitro protein binding and blood distribution, in vitro tissue S9 metabolism, in situ intestinal perfusion, and in vivo pharmacokinetics and excretion studies. Using these datasets, an in-house whole-body PBPK model incorporating route-dependent phase-II (glucuronidation and sulfation) gut metabolism and enterohepatic circulation processes was constructed and optimized for chemical-specific parameters. The developed PBPK model aligned with the observed systemic exposure profiles of resveratrol in single and multiple dosing regimens with an acceptable accuracy of 0.538-0.999-fold errors. Furthermore, the model simulations elucidated the substantial contribution of gut first-pass metabolism to the oral bioavailability of resveratrol and suggested differential effects of enterohepatic circulation on the systemic exposure of resveratrol between rats and humans. After partial modification and verification, our proposed PBPK model would be valuable to optimize dosage regimens and predict food-drug interactions with resveratrol-based natural products in various clinical scenarios.

Abstract
(-)-Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the psychoactive constituent of cannabis, a drug recreationally consumed orally or by inhalation. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling can be used to predict systemic and tissue exposure to THC and its psychoactive metabolite, (±)-11-hydroxy-Δ9-THC (11-OH-THC). To populate a THC/11-OH-THC PBPK model, we previously characterized the depletion clearance of THC (by CYP2C9) and 11-OH-THC (by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT), CYP3A, and CYP2C9) in adult human liver microsomes. Here we focused on quantifying extrahepatic depletion clearance of THC/11-OH-THC, important after oral (intestine) and inhalational (lung) consumption of THC as well as prenatal THC use (placenta and fetal liver). THC (500 nM) was metabolized in adult human intestinal microsomes (n = 3-5) by CYP2C9 [Vmax: 1.1 ± 0.38 nmol/min/mg; Michaelis-Menten constant (Km): 70 nM; intrinsic clearance (CLint): 15 ± 5.4 ml/min/mg; fraction metabolized (fm): 0.89 ± 0.31 at concentration ≪ 70 nM] and CYP3A (CLint: 2.0 ± 0.86 ml/min/mg; fm: 0.11 ± 0.050). 11-OH-THC (50 nM) was metabolized by CYP3A (CLint: 0.26 ± 0.058 ml/min/mg; fm: 0.51 ± 0.11) and UGT2B7 (CLint: 0.13 ± 0.027 ml/min/mg; fm: 0.25 ± 0.053). THC at 500 nM (CLint: 4.7 ± 0.22 ml/min/mg) and 11-OH-THC at 50 nM (CLint: 2.4 ± 0.13 ml/min/mg) were predominately (fm: 0.99 and 0.80, respectively) metabolized by CYP3A in human fetal liver microsomes (n = 3). However, we did not observe significant depletion of THC/11-OH-THC in adult lung, first trimester, second trimester, or term placentae microsomes. Using PBPK modeling and simulation, these data could be used in the future to predict systemic and tissue THC/11-OH-THC exposure in healthy and special populations. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This is the first characterization and quantification of (-)-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and (±)-11-hydroxy-Δ9-THC (11-OH-THC) depletion clearance by cytochrome P450 and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzymes in extrahepatic human tissues: intestine, fetal liver, lung, and placenta. These data can be used to predict, through physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation, systemic and tissue THC/11-OH-THC exposure after inhalational and oral THC use in both healthy and special populations (e.g., pregnant women).

Abstract
During the past few decades, the science of toxicology has been undergoing a transformation from observational to predictive science. New approach methodologies (NAMs), including in vitro assays, in silico models, read-across, and in vitro to in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE), are being developed to reduce, refine, or replace whole animal testing, encouraging the judicious use of time and resources. Some of these methods have advanced past the exploratory research stage and are beginning to gain acceptance for the risk assessment of chemicals. A review of the recent literature reveals a burst of IVIVE publications over the past decade. In this review, we propose operational definitions for IVIVE, present literature examples for several common toxicity endpoints, and highlight their implications in decision-making processes across various federal agencies, as well as international organizations, including those in the European Union (EU). The current challenges and future needs are also summarized for IVIVE. In addition to refining and reducing the number of animals in traditional toxicity testing protocols and being used for prioritizing chemical testing, the goal to use IVIVE to facilitate the replacement of animal models can be achieved through their continued evolution and development, including a strategic plan to qualify IVIVE methods for regulatory acceptance.

Abstract
Entrectinib (Rozlytrek®) is an oral antineoplastic agent approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2019 for the treatment of c-ros oncogene 1 (ROS1)-positive non-small cell lung cancer and neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) fusion-positive solid tumors. Although there have been a few studies on the pharmacokinetics of entrectinib, the relative contributions of several kinetic factors determining the oral bioavailability and systemic exposure of entrectinib are still worthy of investigation. Experimental data on the intestinal absorption and disposition of entrectinib in rats were acquired from studies on in vitro protein binding/tissue S9 metabolism, in situ intestinal perfusion, and in vivo dose-escalation/hepatic extraction. Using these datasets, an in-house whole-body physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model incorporating the QGut model concepts and segregated blood flow in the gut was constructed and optimized with respect to drug-specific parameters. The established rat PBPK model was further extrapolated to humans through relevant physiological scale-up and parameter optimization processes. The optimized rat and human PBPK models adequately captured the impact of route-dependent gut metabolism on the systemic exposure to entrectinib and closely mirrored various preclinical and clinical observations. Our proposed PBPK model could be useful in optimizing dosage regimens and predicting drug interaction potential in various clinical conditions, after partial modification and validation.

Abstract
Pharmacokinetics (PK) is a branch of pharmacology present and of vital importance for the research and development (R&D) of new drugs, post-market monitoring, and continued optimizations in clinical contexts. Ultimately, pharmacokinetics can contribute to improving patients’ clinical outcomes, helping enhance the efficacy of treatments, and reducing possible adverse side effects while also contributing to precision medicine. This article discusses the methods used to predict and study human pharmacokinetics and their evolution to the current physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling and simulation methods. The importance of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and PBPK as valuable tools for Model-Informed Precision Dosing (MIPD) are highlighted, with particular emphasis on antibiotic therapy since dosage adjustment of antibiotics can be vital to ensure successful clinical outcomes and to prevent the spread of resistant bacterial strains.

Abstract
Screening functional food ingredients (FFI) from medicinal and edible plants (MEP) has still remained a great challenge due to the complexity of MEP and its obscure function mechanisms. Herein, an integrated strategy based on sequential metabolites identification approach, network pharmacology, molecular docking, and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis was proposed for quickly identifying the active constituents in MEP. First, the sequential biotransformation process of MEP, including intestinal absorption and metabolism, and hepatic metabolism, was investigated by oral gavage, and intestinal perfusion with venous sampling method. Then the blood samples were analyzed by UPLC-Q Exactive Orbitrap HRMS. Second, the network pharmacology approach was used to explore the potential targets and possible mechanisms of the in vivo metabolites of MEP. Third, molecular docking and SPR approaches were used to verify the specific interactions between protein targets and representative ingredients. The proposed integrated strategy was successfully used to explore the heptoprotective components and the underlying molecular mechanism of Paeoniae Radix Alba (PRA). A total of 44 compounds were identified in blood samples, including 17 porotypes and 27 metabolites. The associated metabolic pathways were oxidation, methylation, sulfation, and glucuronidation. After further screening, 31 bioactive candidates and 377 related targets were obtained. In addition, the bioactive components contained in PRA may have therapeutic potentials for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The above results demonstrated the proposed strategy may provide a feasible tool for screening FFI and elaborating the complex function mechanisms of MEP.

Abstract
Improved pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) prediction in the early stages of drug development is essential to inform lead optimization strategies and reduce attrition rates. Recently, there have been significant advancements in the development of new in vitro and in vivo strategies to better characterize pharmacokinetic properties and efficacy of drug leads. Herein, we review advances in experimental and mathematical models for clearance predictions, advancements in developing novel tools to capture slowly metabolized drugs, in vivo model developments to capture human etiology for supporting drug development, limitations and gaps in these efforts, and a perspective on the future in the field.

Abstract
Development of new chemical entities is costly, time-consuming, and has a low success rate. Accurate prediction of pharmacokinetic properties is critical to progress compounds with favorable drug-like characteristics in lead optimization. Of particular importance is the prediction of hepatic clearance, which determines drug exposure and contributes to projection of dose, half-life, and bioavailability. The most commonly employed methodology to predict hepatic clearance is termed in vitro to in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) that involves measuring drug metabolism in vitro, scaling-up this in vitro intrinsic clearance to a prediction of in vivo intrinsic clearance by reconciling the enzymatic content between the incubation and an average human liver, and applying a model of hepatic disposition to account for limitations of protein binding and blood flow to predict in vivo clearance. This manuscript reviews common in vitro techniques used to predict hepatic clearance as well as current challenges and recent theoretical advancements in IVIVE.

Abstract
Introduction: Accurate prediction of pharmacokinetic (PK) and toxicokinetics (TK) of drugs is imperative for successful development of new pharmaceutics. Although conventional in vitro methods for predicting the PK and TK of drugs are well established, limitations still exist and more advanced chip-based in vitro platforms combined with mathematical models can help researchers overcome the limitations. Areas covered: We will review recent progress in the development of multi-organ-on-a-chip platforms for predicting PK and TK of drugs, as well as mathematical approaches that can be combined with these platforms for experiment design, data analysis and in vitro-in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) for application to humans. Expert opinion: Although there remain some challenges to be addressed, the remarkable progress in the area of multi-organ-on-a-chip in recent years indicate that we will see tangible outcomes that can be utilized in the pharmaceutical industry in near future.

Investigation of the Factors Responsible for the Poor Oral Bioavailability of Acacetin in Rats: Physicochemical and Biopharmaceutical Aspects. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13020175. [PMID: 33525442 PMCID: PMC7911516 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13020175] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2020] [Revised: 01/24/2021] [Accepted: 01/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Acacetin, an important ingredient of acacia honey and a component of several medicinal plants, exhibits therapeutic effects such as antioxidative, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-plasmodial activities. However, to date, studies reporting a systematic investigation of the in vivo fate of orally administered acacetin are limited. Moreover, the in vitro physicochemical and biopharmaceutical properties of acacetin in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and their pharmacokinetic impacts remain unclear. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to systematically investigate the oral absorption and disposition of acacetin using relevant rat models. Acacetin exhibited poor solubility (≤119 ng/mL) and relatively low stability (27.5–62.0% remaining after 24 h) in pH 7 phosphate buffer and simulated GI fluids. A major portion (97.1%) of the initially injected acacetin dose remained unabsorbed in the jejunal segments, and the oral bioavailability of acacetin was very low at 2.34%. The systemic metabolism of acacetin occurred ubiquitously in various tissues (particularly in the liver, where it occurred most extensively), resulting in very high total plasma clearance of 199 ± 36 mL/min/kg. Collectively, the poor oral bioavailability of acacetin could be attributed mainly to its poor solubility and low GI luminal stability.

Abstract
Accurate estimation of in vivo clearance in human is pivotal to determine the dose and dosing regimen for drug development. In vitro-in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) has been performed to predict drug clearance using empirical and physiological scalars. Multiple in vitro systems and mathematical modeling techniques have been employed to estimate in vivo clearance. The models for predicting clearance have significantly improved and have evolved to become more complex by integrating multiple processes such as drug metabolism and transport as well as passive diffusion. This chapter covers the use of conventional as well as recently developed methods to predict metabolic and transporter-mediated clearance along with the advantages and disadvantages of using these methods and the associated experimental considerations. The general approaches to improve IVIVE by use of appropriate scalars, incorporation of extrahepatic metabolism and transport and application of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models with proteomics data are also discussed. The chapter also provides an overview of the advantages of using such dynamic mechanistic models over static models for clearance predictions to improve IVIVE.

Abstract
To elucidate the impact of human exposure to engineered nanomaterials, advanced in vitro models are a valid non-animal alternative. Despite significant gains over the last decade, implementation of these approaches remains limited. This work discusses the current state-of-the-art and how future developments can lead to advanced in vitro models better supporting nano-hazard assessment.

Abstract
Dutasteride (DUT) is a selective, potent, competitive, and irreversible inhibitor of both type-1 and type-2 5α-reductase (5AR) commonly used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenetic alopecia. In the present study, we developed a simple and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FL) method for simultaneous determination of DUT and its major active metabolite, 6β-hydroxydutasteride (H-DUT). Next, the pharmacokinetic interactions of DUT with ketoconazole (KET), a potent CYP3A inhibitor, were comprehensively investigated. In vivo rat intravenous and oral studies revealed that the pharmacokinetics of DUT and H-DUT were significantly altered by the co-administration of KET. Furthermore, the in vitro microsomal metabolism, blood distribution, and protein-binding studies suggest that the altered pharmacokinetics of DUT could be attributed primarily to the inhibition of the DUT metabolism by KET. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to show the drug interaction potential of DUT with azole antifungal drugs including KET, together with a newly developed HPLC-FL method for the simultaneous quantification of DUT and H-DUT.

Abstract
1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 (also called 1,25(OH)2 D3 or calcitriol) is the biologically active form of vitamin D, which functions as a ligand to the vitamin D receptor (VDR). It was previously reported that intestinal cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) expression was altered by 1,25(OH)2 D3 -mediated VDR activation. However, to clarify whether the change in CYP3A subfamily expression by VDR activation can affect metabolic function, further evidence is needed to prove the effect of 1,25(OH)2 D3 treatment on CYP3A-mediated drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics. Here, we report the effects of 1,25(OH)2 D3 on CYP3A activity and in vivo pharmacokinetics of buspirone in Sprague-Dawley rats. CYP3A mRNA expression and CYP3A-mediated testosterone metabolism were enhanced in the intestine but were unaffected in the livers of rats treated with 1,25(OH)2 D3 . Notably, the oral pharmacokinetic profile of buspirone (CYP3A substrate drug) and 6'-hydroxybuspirone (major active metabolite of buspirone formed via CYP3A-mediated metabolism) was significantly altered, while its intravenous pharmacokinetic profile was not affected by 1,25(OH)2 D3 treatment. To the best of our knowledge, this study provides the first reported data regarding the effects of 1,25(OH)2 D3 treatment on the in vivo pharmacokinetics of intravenous and oral buspirone in rats, by the differential modulation of hepatic and intestinal CYP3A activity. Our present results could lead to further studies in clinically significant CYP3A-mediated drug-nutrient interactions with 1,25(OH)2 D3 , including 1,25(OH)2 D3 -buspirone interaction.

Abstract
To understand trends in individual responses to medication, one can take a purely data-driven machine learning approach, or alternatively apply pharmacokinetics combined with mixed-effects statistical modelling. To take advantage of the predictive power of machine learning and the explanatory power of pharmacokinetics, we propose a latent variable mixture model for learning clusters of pharmacokinetic models demonstrated on a clinical data set investigating 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase enzymes (11β-HSD) activity in healthy adults. The proposed strategy automatically constructs different population models that are not based on prior knowledge or experimental design, but result naturally as mixture component models of the global latent variable mixture model. We study the parameter of the underlying multi-compartment ordinary differential equation model via identifiability analysis on the observable measurements, which reveals the model is structurally locally identifiable. Further approximation with a perturbation technique enables efficient training of the proposed probabilistic latent variable mixture clustering technique using Estimation Maximization. The training on the clinical data results in 4 clusters reflecting the prednisone conversion rate over a period of 4 h based on venous blood samples taken at 20-min intervals. The learned clusters differ in prednisone absorption as well as prednisone/prednisolone conversion. In the discussion section we include a detailed investigation of the relationship of the pharmacokinetic parameters of the trained cluster models for possible or plausible physiological explanation and correlations analysis using additional phenotypic participant measurements.

Sequential activation of the AKT pathway in human osteoblasts treated with Oscarvit: a bioactive product with positive effect both on skeletal pain and mineralization in osteoblasts. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2017; 18:500. [PMID: 29183350 PMCID: PMC5706336 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-017-1860-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2017] [Accepted: 11/20/2017] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Oscarvit (OSC) is an in-house preparation consisting of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, strontium, Vitamin D, and eggshell membrane hydrolysate containing naturally occurring glycosaminoglycans and sulfated glycoproteins. OSC has been used both in an open-label human study and in vitro in osteoblasts. Methods Fifteen patients divided into three groups received oral OSC 0.6 g three times daily for 20 days. The main outcome measures were regional skeletal pain over the treatment period. For the in vitro experiments eight primary human osteoblasts cultures were established from trabecular bone, six of them from the femoral head, and two from the tibia. Cells were cultured for five to 20 days in the presence of 20 μg/ml OSC. Immunocytochemistry and RT-PCR were used to detect molecular alterations involved in the mineralization process. Calcium concentration was measured by means of a colorimetric assay and cell viability was analyzed using the LDH cytotoxicity assay. To investigate whether the osteoblasts response to OSC is associated with signaling processes the ERK1/2 and AKT signal transduction pathways were analyzed. Results Open label human study: OSC, 0.6 g three times daily, resulted in a significant positive effect on pain alleviation of 42% after 5 days (p < 0.001), 57% after 10 days and 68% after 20 days (p < 0.0001; for both time points), with no side-effects being reported. In vitro analysis: In osteoblasts, growing in OSC-supplemented media significant overexpression of bone γ-carboxylglutamic acid-containing protein, secreted phosphoprotein-1, integrin binding sialoprotein, and dentin matrix phosphoprotein genes could be detected when compared to control osteoblasts grown in the absence of OSC. Moreover, OSC-treated osteoblasts produced over the study period vast extracellular calcium deposits without any loss of cellular integrity or signs of cellular toxicity. In addition OSC promotes osteoblast differentiation and activates the AKT signaling pathway. Conclusion This open label study provides preliminary evidence of the efficacy of OSC. Despite the limitations (small heterogeneous patient group) the findings can be viewed as a necessary investigation that supports further clinical trials with a double-blind controlled design. Experiments at cellular and molecular level provide supplementary information about OSC that increases mineralization in osteoblasts and activation of the AKT pathway. Trial registration DRKS00013233, 06th November 2017, retrospectively registered.

Abstract
A simple and sensitive analytical method for the quantitative determination of buspirone in rat plasma by HPLC with fluorescence detection was developed and validated using naproxen as an internal standard. A relatively small-volume (150 µL) aliquot of rat plasma sample was prepared by a simple deproteinization procedure using acetonitrile as a precipitating organic solvent. Chromatographic separation was performed using Kinetex® C8 column with an isocratic mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 10-mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 6.0) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The eluent was monitored by fluorescence detector at a wavelength pair of 237/380 nm (excitation/emission). The linearity was established at 20.0-5000 ng/mL, and the limit of detection was 6.51 ng/mL. The precision (≤14.6%), accuracy (89.2-108%), and stability (89.1-101%) were within acceptable ranges. The newly developed method was successfully applied to intravenous and oral pharmacokinetic studies of buspirone in rats.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the utility of Extended Clearance Classification System (ECCS) in understanding absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) attributes and enabling victim drug-drug interaction (DDI) predictions. METHODS A database of 368 drugs with relevant ADME parameters, main metabolizing enzymes, uptake transporters, efflux transporters, and highest change in exposure (%AUC) in presence of inhibitors was developed using published literature. Drugs were characterized according to ECCS using ionization, molecular weight and estimated permeability. RESULTS Analyses suggested that ECCS class 1A drugs are well absorbed and systemic clearance is determined by metabolism mediated by CYP2C, esterases, and UGTs. For class 1B drugs, oral absorption is high and the predominant clearance mechanism is hepatic uptake mediated by OATP transporters. High permeability neutral/basic drugs (class 2) showed high oral absorption, with metabolism mediated generally by CYP3A, CYP2D6 and UGTs as the predominant clearance mechanism. Class 3A/4 drugs showed moderate absorption with dominant renal clearance involving OAT/OCT2 transporters. Class 3B drugs showed low to moderate absorption with hepatic uptake (OATPs) and/or renal clearance as primary clearance mechanisms. The highest DDI risk is typically seen with class 2/1B/3B compounds manifested by inhibition of either CYP metabolism or active hepatic uptake. Class 2 showed a wider range in AUC change likely due to a variety of enzymes involved. DDI risk for class 3A/4 is small and associated with inhibition of renal transporters. CONCLUSIONS ECCS provides a framework to project ADME profiles and further enables prediction of victim DDI liabilities in drug discovery and development.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to utilize physiologically relevant dynamic dissolution testing with the TNO intestinal model (TIM-1) in vitro gastrointestinal model to investigate the bioaccessibility of celecoxib. A single 200-mg dose of celecoxib was evaluated under average adult human physiological conditions simulated in the TIM-1 system. The in vitro data were compared with the clinically established pharmacokinetic data. When expressed as a percent of drug that progresses from the duodenum to the jejunum and ileum compartments (bioaccessible sites), the study demonstrated a 2-fold increase in the total bioaccessibility for celecoxib when co-administered with a high-fat meal as opposed to co-administration with a glass of water (fasted conditions). That increase in bioaccessibility was similar to a 1.2 to 1.6-fold increase in systemic exposure in adults and children following co-administration with a high-fat meal when compared to the exposure measured when celecoxib was co-administered with only water. Following that comparison, the flexibility of the TIM-1 system was used to more specifically investigate individual parameters of gastrointestinal conditions, such as the rate of bile secretion (emptying of the bile bladder) that accompanies high-fat meal consumption. We demonstrated that increased bile secretion after co-administration of a high-fat meal played a more important role in the increased celecoxib bioaccessibility than did the food matrix. This indicates that in humans without a bile bladder the exposure of celecoxib administered with food might be as low as under fasted state.

Abstract
The recognition that food-derived nonnutrient molecules can modulate gene expression to influence intracellular molecular mechanisms has seen the emergence of the fields of nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics. The aim of this review is to describe the properties of nutrigenomic activators of transcription factor Nrf2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2), comparing the potential for sulforaphane and other phytochemicals to demonstrate clinical efficacy as complementary medicines. Broccoli-derived sulforaphane emerges as a phytochemical with this capability, with oral doses capable of favourably modifying genes associated with chemoprevention. Compared with widely used phytochemical-based supplements like curcumin, silymarin, and resveratrol, sulforaphane more potently activates Nrf2 to induce the expression of a battery of cytoprotective genes. By virtue of its lipophilic nature and low molecular weight, sulforaphane displays significantly higher bioavailability than the polyphenol-based dietary supplements that also activate Nrf2. Nrf2 activation induces cytoprotective genes such as those playing key roles in cellular defense mechanisms including redox status and detoxification. Both its high bioavailability and significant Nrf2 inducer capacity contribute to the therapeutic potential of sulforaphane-yielding supplements.

Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Modeling and Simulation Approaches: A Systematic Review of Published Models, Applications, and Model Verification. Drug Metab Dispos 2015; 43:1823-37. [PMID: 26296709 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.115.065920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 321] [Impact Index Per Article: 35.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2015] [Accepted: 08/20/2015] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Modeling and simulation of drug disposition has emerged as an important tool in drug development, clinical study design and regulatory review, and the number of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling related publications and regulatory submissions have risen dramatically in recent years. However, the extent of use of PBPK modeling by researchers, and the public availability of models has not been systematically evaluated. This review evaluates PBPK-related publications to 1) identify the common applications of PBPK modeling; 2) determine ways in which models are developed; 3) establish how model quality is assessed; and 4) provide a list of publically available PBPK models for sensitive P450 and transporter substrates as well as selective inhibitors and inducers. PubMed searches were conducted using the terms "PBPK" and "physiologically based pharmacokinetic model" to collect published models. Only papers on PBPK modeling of pharmaceutical agents in humans published in English between 2008 and May 2015 were reviewed. A total of 366 PBPK-related articles met the search criteria, with the number of articles published per year rising steadily. Published models were most commonly used for drug-drug interaction predictions (28%), followed by interindividual variability and general clinical pharmacokinetic predictions (23%), formulation or absorption modeling (12%), and predicting age-related changes in pharmacokinetics and disposition (10%). In total, 106 models of sensitive substrates, inhibitors, and inducers were identified. An in-depth analysis of the model development and verification revealed a lack of consistency in model development and quality assessment practices, demonstrating a need for development of best-practice guidelines.

Abstract
Magnolol (MAG; 5,5'-diallyl-2,2'-biphenyldiol) is a major bioactive component of Magnolia officinalis. We investigated the metabolic interactions of MAG with hepatic cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (CYP) through in vitro microsomal metabolism study using human (HLM) and rat liver microsomes (RLM). CYP2C and 3A subfamilies were significantly involved in the metabolism of MAG, while CYP1A subfamily was not in HLM and RLM. The relative contribution of phase I enzymes including CYP to the metabolism of MAG was comparable to that of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) in RLM. Moreover, MAG potently inhibited the metabolic activity of CYP1A (IC50 of 1.62 μM) and 2C (IC50 of 5.56 μM), while weakly CYP3A (IC50 of 35.0 μM) in HLM and RLM. By the construction of Dixon plot, the inhibition type of MAG on CYP activity in RLM was determined as follows: uncompetitive inhibitor for CYP1A (Ki of 1.09-12.0 μM); competitive inhibitor for CYP2C (Ki of 10.0-15.2 μM) and 3A (Ki of 93.7-183 μM). Based on the comparison of the current IC50 and Ki values with a previously reported liver concentration (about 13 μM) of MAG after its seven times oral administration at a dose of 50 mg/kg in rats, it is suggested that MAG could show significant inhibition of CYP1A and 2C, but not CYP3A, in the in vivo rat system. These results could lead to further studies in clinically significant metabolism-mediated MAG-drug interactions.

How to report and discuss ADME data in medicinal chemistry publications: in vitro data or in vivo extrapolations? Future Med Chem 2015; 7:259-67.

Abstract
Early drug discovery projects often utilize data from ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination) assays to benchmark data and guide discussion, rather than the predicted in vivo consequences of these data. Here, the two paradigms are compared, using evaluations of metabolic stability based on either microsomal clearance assay data or from the predicted in vivo hepatic clearance and half-life calculated through the combination of the venous well-stirred model and Øie-Tozer's model. The need for a shift in paradigm is presented, and its implications discussed. It is suggested that discussions about ADME data should revolve around potential clinical problems that are most likely to surface during the development phase, each benchmarked with a suitable variable derived from the assay data.

Preparation and evaluation of oral controlled-release cilostazol formulation: pharmacokinetics and antithrombotic efficacy in dogs and healthy male Korean participants. J Pharm Pharmacol 2014; 66:961-74.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
To prepare oral controlled-release cilostazol formulations and evaluate their pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in dogs and humans compared with a commercial twice-daily immediate-release formulation (Pletal), thereby showing the potential for the development of an improved once-daily cilostazol formulation.
Methods
Six different controlled-release preparations were formulated using a micronized cilostazol, solubilizer/absorption enhancer and erodible hydrogel. In-vitro drug release profiles were tailored by varying hydrogel viscosity. Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic (antithrombotic) efficacy were evaluated in beagle dog model of arterial thrombosis. Finally, their pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics were also evaluated in healthy human volunteers after single and multiple oral administrations.
Key findings
Hydrogel viscosity-dependent sustained drug release profiles were observed with zero-order release kinetics during 8–12 h. In dogs and humans, compared with Pletal, prolonged drug absorption profiles were observed in the two controlled-release formulations studied. In dogs, the controlled-release formulations showed greater antithrombotic efficacy than twice-daily Pletal. In humans, the antithrombotic efficacy of the selected once-daily cilostazol formulation was equivalent to that of twice-daily Pletal after single and multiple administrations.
Conclusions
The prepared oral controlled-release cilostazol formulation may provide prolonged drug absorption and sufficient therapeutic efficacy, potentially serving as an oral once-daily cilostazol formulation to improve patient compliance.
