Cowans C, Love A, Tangiisuran B, Jacob SA. Uncovering the Hidden Burden of Pharmaceutical Poisoning in High-Income and Low-Middle-Income Countries: A Scoping Review. PHARMACY 2023; 11:184. [PMID: 38133459 PMCID: PMC10747954 DOI: 10.3390/pharmacy11060184] [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: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 10/28/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Pharmaceutical poisoning is a significant global public health concern, causing approximately 190,000 deaths annually. This scoping review aims to comprehensively map the available literature on pharmaceutical poisoning and compare patterns between high-income countries (HICs) and low-middle-income countries (LMICs). A systematic search was performed across the following databases: Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and CINAHL. Studies included were from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2020, in English, with full text available. Seventy-nine articles were included in the study; 21 were from LMICs and 58 were from HICs. Toxic exposure was largely intentional (77%) in LMICs and accidental (68%) in HICs. Drugs acting on the nervous system were responsible for 95% of toxicities worldwide with analgesics accounting for the largest subtherapeutic group in both LMICs (40%) and HICs (58%). Notable statistics were that HICs accounted for 99% of opioid overdoses, and LMICs accounted for 19% of anti-epileptic-induced toxicities. Overall, the medical outcomes due to poisonings were generally worse in LMICs. The review provides possible interventions to target specific geographic locations, based on the trends identified, to reduce the burden worldwide. Many gaps within the literature were recognised, calling for more robust analytical research.

Abstract
Tolperisone, a muscle relaxant used for post-stroke spasticity, is metabolized to its main metabolite by CYP2D6 and to a lesser extent by CYP2C19 and CYP1A2. We investigated the effects of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms and cigarette smoking on tolperisone pharmacokinetics. A 150 mg oral dose of tolperisone was given to 184 healthy Korean subjects and plasma concentrations of tolperisone were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). A 3.14-fold significant increase in AUC0-∞ was observed in the CYP2D6*10/*10 group compared with the CYP2D6*wt/*wt group, whereas a 3.59-fold increase in AUC0-∞ was observed in CYP2C19PMs compared to CYP2C19EMs. Smokers had a 38.5% decrease in AUC0-∞ when compared to non-smokers. When these effects were combined, CYP2D6*10/*10-CYP2C19PM-Non-smokers had a 25.9-fold increase in AUC0-∞ compared to CYP2D6*wt/*wt-CYP2C19EM-Smokers. Genetic polymorphisms of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 and cigarette smoking independently and significantly affected tolperisone pharmacokinetics and these effects combined resulted in a much greater impact on tolperisone pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
Tolperisone hydrochloride is a centrally-acting muscle relaxant used for relieving spasticities of neurological origin and muscle spasms associated with painful locomotor diseases. It is metabolized to the inactive metabolite mainly by CYP2D6 and, to a lesser extent, by CYP2C19 and CYP1A2. In our previous study, the pharmacokinetics of tolperisone was significantly affected by the genetic polymorphism of CYP2D6, but the wide interindividual variation of tolperisone pharmacokinetics was not explained by genetic polymorphism of CYP2D6 alone. Thus, we studied the effects of CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism on tolperisone pharmacokinetics. Eighty-one subjects with different CYP2C19 genotypes received a single oral dose of 150 mg tolperisone with 240 mL of water, and blood samples were collected up to 12 h after dosing. The plasma concentration of tolperisone was measured by a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry system. The CYP2C19PM group had significantly higher Cmax and lower CL/F values than the CYP2C19EM and CYP2C19IM groups. The AUCinf of the CYP2C19PM group was 2.86-fold and 3.00-fold higher than the CYP2C19EM and CYP2C19IM groups, respectively. In conclusion, the genetic polymorphism of CYP2C19 significantly affected tolperisone pharmacokinetics.

Untargeted Safety Pharmacology Screen of Blood-Activating and Stasis-Removing Patent Chinese Herbal Medicines Identified Nonherbal Ingredients as a Cause of Organ Damage in Experimental Models. Front Pharmacol 2019; 10:993. [PMID: 31607901 PMCID: PMC6757273 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2019.00993] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2018] [Accepted: 08/05/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Blood activation and stasis removal from circulation is a central principle for treatment of syndromes related to cerebral and cardiovascular diseases in Chinese herbal medicine. However, blood-activating and stasis-removing patent Chinese herbal medicine (BASR-pCHM) widely used with or without prescription in China and elsewhere are highly variable in composition and manufacture standard, making their safety assessment a challenging task. We proposed that an integrated evaluation of multiple toxicity parameters of BASR-pCHM would provide critical reference and guidelines for their safe clinical application. Examination of standardized extracts from 58 compound BASR-pCHM in vivo in VEGFR2-luc mice and in vitro in cardiac, renal, and hepatic cells identified Naoluotong capsule (NLTC) as a potent organ/cell damage inducer. Composition analysis revealed that NLTC was the one that contained nonherbal ingredients among the BASR-pCHM collection. In vivo and in vitro experiments confirmed that NLTC, as well as its chemical supplement tolperisone hydrochloride, caused organ and cell damage by reducing cell viability, mitochondrial mass/activity, while the NLTC herbal components did not. Taken together, our study showed that safety evaluation of patent herbal medicines already on market is still necessary and urgently needed. In addition, chemical/herbal interactions should be considered as an important contributor of potential toxicity when evaluating the safety of herbal medicine.
