Abstract
Loratadine is metabolized to desloratadine. Both of them have been used for allergy treatment in children. Anatomical, physiological, and biological parameters of children and clearance of drugs vary with age. We aimed to develop a whole-body physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model to simultaneously predict the pharmacokinetics of loratadine and desloratadine in children. Following validation using 11 adult data sets, the developed PBPK model was extrapolated to children. Plasma concentrations following oral loratadine or desloratadine to children of different ages were simulated and compared with six children data sets. After scaling anatomy/physiology, protein binding, and clearance, pharmacokinetics of the two drugs in pediatric populations were satisfactorily predicted. Most of the observed concentrations fell within the 5th-95th percentile range of the simulations in 1000 virtual children. The predicted area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and Cmax fell within 0.5-2.0-fold range of the observations. Oral doses of loratadine or desloratadine for children of different ages were simulated based on similar AUCs following 10 mg of loratadine or 5 mg of desloratadine for adults. Pediatric PBPK model was successfully developed to simultaneously predict plasma concentrations of loratadine and desloratadine in children of all ages. The developed pediatric PBPK model may also be applied to optimize pediatric dosage.

Integrating Clopidogrel's First-Pass Effect in a Joint Semi-Physiological Population Pharmacokinetic Model of the Drug and Its Inactive Carboxylic Acid Metabolite. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:685. [PMID: 38794348 PMCID: PMC11124785 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16050685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Clopidogrel (CLO), a pro-drug for preventing thrombotic events, undergoes rapid absorption and extensive metabolism, with approximately 85-90% converted to an inactive carboxylic acid metabolite (CLO-CA) and the remaining to an active thiol (CLO-TH). Few pharmacokinetic models for the drug and its metabolites exist, with most focusing on CLO-TH. Although CLO-CA is inactive, its predominant (compared to its parent drug and metabolites) presence in plasma underscores the importance of characterizing its formation and pharmacokinetic profile. This study aimed to characterize the process of the absorption of CLO and its conversion to CLO-CA via developing a population pharmacokinetic model. Individual participants' data from two bioequivalence studies were utilized. Extensive blood samples were collected at predetermined intervals, including 841 concentrations of CLO and 1149 of CLO-CA. A nonlinear, mixed-effects modelling approach using NONMEM® software (v 7.5) was applied. A one-compartment model was chosen for CLO, while a two-compartment proved optimal for CLO-CA. Absorption from the depot compartment was modeled via two transit compartments, incorporating transit rate constants (Ktr). A semi-physiological model explained the first-pass effect of CLO, integrating a liver compartment. The estimated mean transit times (MTTs) for the studies were 0.470 and 0.410 h, respectively. The relative bioavailability for each study's generic medicine compared to the reference were 1.08 and 0.960, respectively. Based on the estimated parameters, the fractions metabolized to inactive metabolites (FiaM_st1 and FiaM_st2) were determined to be 87.27% and 86.87% for the two studies, respectively. The appropriateness of the final model was confirmed. Our model offers a robust framework for elucidating the pharmacokinetic profiles of CLO and CLO-CA.

Abstract
Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet drug used to reduce the risk of acute coronary syndrome and stroke. It is converted by CYP2C19 to its active metabolite; therefore, poor metabolizers (PMs) of CYP2C19 exhibit diminished antiplatelet effects. Herein, we conducted a proof-of-concept study for using population pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) modeling to recommend a personalized clopidogrel dosing regimen for individuals with varying CYP2C19 phenotypes and baseline P2Y12 reaction unit (PRU) levels. Data from a prospective phase I clinical trial involving 36 healthy male participants were used to develop the population PK-PD model predicting the concentrations of clopidogrel, clopidogrel H4, and clopidogrel carboxylic acid, and linking clopidogrel H4 concentrations to changes in PRU levels. A two-compartment model effectively described the PKs of both clopidogrel and clopidogrel carboxylic acid, and a one-compartment model of those of clopidogrel H4. The CYP2C19 phenotype was identified as a significant covariate influencing the metabolic conversion of the parent drug to its metabolites. A PD submodel of clopidogrel H4 that stimulated the fractional turnover rate of PRU levels showed the best performance. Monte Carlo simulations suggested that PMs require three to four times higher doses than extensive metabolizers to reach the target PRU level. Individuals within the top 20th percentile of baseline PRU levels were shown to require 2.5-3 times higher doses than those in the bottom 20th percentile. We successfully developed a population PK-PD model for clopidogrel considering the impact of CYP2C19 phenotypes and baseline PRU levels. Further studies are necessary to confirm actual dosing recommendations for clopidogrel.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop a whole physiologically based pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PBPK-PD) model to describe the pharmacokinetics and anti-gastric acid secretion of omeprazole in CYP2C19 extensive metabolizers (EMs), intermediate metabolizers (IMs), poor metabolizers (PMs) and ultrarapid metabolizers (UMs) following oral or intravenous administration. METHODS A PBPK/PD model was built using Phoenix WinNolin software. Omeprazole was mainly metabolized by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 and the CYP2C19 polymorphism was incorporated using in vitro data. We described the PD by using a turn-over model with parameter estimates from dogs and the effect of a meal on the acid secretion was also implemented. The model predictions were compared to 53 sets of clinical data. RESULTS Predictions of omeprazole plasma concentration (72.2%) and 24 h stomach pH after administration (85%) were within 0.5-2.0-fold of the observed values, indicating that the PBPK-PD model was successfully developed. Sensitivity analysis demonstrated that the contributions of the tested factors to the plasma concentration of omeprazole were Vmax,2C19 ≈ Papp > Vmax,3A4 > Kti, and contributions to its pharmacodynamic were Vmax,2C19 > kome > kms > Papp > Vmax,3A4. The simulations showed that while the initial omeprazole dose in UMs, EMs, and IMs increased 7.5-, 3- and 1.25-fold compared to those of PMs, the therapeutic effect was similar. CONCLUSIONS The successful establishment of this PBPK-PD model highlights that pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of drugs can be predicted using preclinical data. The PBPK-PD model also provided a feasible alternative to empirical guidance for the recommended doses of omeprazole.

Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Modeling of Clopidogrel and Its Four Relevant Metabolites for CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4 Drug–Drug–Gene Interaction Predictions. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14050915. [PMID: 35631502 PMCID: PMC9145019 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14050915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2022] [Revised: 04/19/2022] [Accepted: 04/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
The antiplatelet agent clopidogrel is listed by the FDA as a strong clinical index inhibitor of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8 and weak clinical inhibitor of CYP2B6. Moreover, clopidogrel is a substrate of—among others—CYP2C19 and CYP3A4. This work presents the development of a whole-body physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of clopidogrel including the relevant metabolites, clopidogrel carboxylic acid, clopidogrel acyl glucuronide, 2-oxo-clopidogrel, and the active thiol metabolite, with subsequent application for drug–gene interaction (DGI) and drug–drug interaction (DDI) predictions. Model building was performed in PK-Sim® using 66 plasma concentration-time profiles of clopidogrel and its metabolites. The comprehensive parent-metabolite model covers biotransformation via carboxylesterase (CES) 1, CES2, CYP2C19, CYP3A4, and uridine 5′-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase 2B7. Moreover, CYP2C19 was incorporated for normal, intermediate, and poor metabolizer phenotypes. Good predictive performance of the model was demonstrated for the DGI involving CYP2C19, with 17/19 predicted DGI AUClast and 19/19 predicted DGI Cmax ratios within 2-fold of their observed values. Furthermore, DDIs involving bupropion, omeprazole, montelukast, pioglitazone, repaglinide, and rifampicin showed 13/13 predicted DDI AUClast and 13/13 predicted DDI Cmax ratios within 2-fold of their observed ratios. After publication, the model will be made publicly accessible in the Open Systems Pharmacology repository.

Abstract
Treatment response to clopidogrel is associated with CYP2C19 activity through the formation of the active H4 metabolite. The aims of this study were to develop a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of clopidogrel and its metabolites for populations of European ancestry, to predict the pharmacokinetics in the Japanese population by CYP2C19 phenotype, and to investigate the effect of clinical and demographic factors. A PBPK model was developed and verified to describe the two metabolic pathways of clopidogrel (H4 metabolite, acyl glucuronide metabolite) for a population of European ancestry using plasma data from published studies. Subsequently, model predictions in the Japanese population were evaluated. The effects of CYP2C19 activity, fluvoxamine coadministration (CYP2C19 inhibitor), and population-specific factors (age, sex, BMI, body weight, cancer, hepatic, and renal dysfunction) on the pharmacokinetics of clopidogrel and its metabolites were then characterized. The predicted/observed ratios for clopidogrel and metabolite exposure parameters were acceptable (twofold acceptance criteria). For all CYP2C19 phenotypes, steady-state AUC0-τ of the H4 metabolite was lower for the Japanese (e.g., EM, 7.69 [6.26-9.45] ng·h/ml; geometric mean [95% CI]) than European (EM, 24.8 [20.4-30.1] ng·h/ml, p < .001) population. In addition to CYP2C19-poor metabolizer phenotype, fluvoxamine coadministration, hepatic, and renal dysfunction were found to reduce H4 metabolite but not acyl glucuronide metabolite concentrations. This is the first PBPK model describing the two major metabolic pathways of clopidogrel, which can be applied to populations of European and Japanese ancestry by CYP2C19 phenotype. The differences between the two populations appear to be determined primarily by the effect of varying CYP2C19 liver activity.

Drug Metab Dispos 2021; 50:114-127.

Abstract
Inactivation of Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes can lead to significant increases in exposure of co-medicants. The majority of reported in vitro to in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) data have historically focused on CYP3A4 leaving the assessment of other CYP isoforms insubstantial. To this end, the utility of human hepatocytes (HHEP) and microsome (HLM) to predict clinically relevant DDIs was investigated with a focus on CYP1A2, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6. Evaluation of IVIVE for CYP2B6 was limited to only weak inhibition. A search of the University of Washington Drug-Drug Interaction Database was conducted to identify a clinically relevant weak, moderate and strong inhibitor for selective substrates of CYP1A2, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6, resulting in 18 inhibitors for in vitro characterization against 119 clinical interaction studies. Pooled human hepatocytes and HLM were pre-incubated with increasing concentrations of inhibitors for designated timepoints. Time dependent inhibition (TDI) was detected in HLM for four moderate/strong inhibitors suggesting that some optimization of incubation conditions (i.e. lower protein concentrations) is needed to capture weak inhibition. Clinical risk assessment was conducted by incorporating the in vitro derived kinetic parameters kinact and KI into static equations recommended by regulatory authorities. Significant overprediction was observed when applying the basic models recommended by regulatory agencies. Mechanistic static models (MSM), which consider the fraction of metabolism through the impacted enzyme, using the unbound hepatic inlet concentration lead to the best overall prediction accuracy with 92% and 85% of data from HHEPs and HLM, respectively, within 2-fold of the observed value. Significance Statement Collectively, the data demonstrate that coupling time-dependent inactivation parameters derived from pooled human hepatocytes and HLM with a mechanistic static model provides an easy and quantitatively accurate means to determine clinical DDI risk from in vitro data. Weak and moderate inhibitors did not show TDI under standard incubation conditions using HLM and optimization of incubation conditions is warranted. Recommendations are made with respect to input parameters for IVIVE of TDI with non-CYP3A enzymes using available data from HLM and HHEPs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are among the leading causes of death, and frequently associated with drug-gene interactions (DGIs). In addition to pharmacogenomic programs for implementation of genetic preemptive testing into clinical practice, mathematical modeling can help to understand, quantify and predict the effects of DGIs in vivo. Moreover, modeling can contribute to optimize prospective clinical drug trial activities and to reduce DGI-related ADRs. AREAS COVERED Approaches and challenges of mechanistical DGI implementation and model parameterization are discussed for population pharmacokinetic and physiologically based pharmacokinetic models. The broad spectrum of published DGI models and their applications is presented, focusing on the investigation of DGI effects on pharmacology and model-based dose adaptations. EXPERT OPINION Mathematical modeling provides an opportunity to investigate complex DGI scenarios and can facilitate the development process of safe and efficient personalized dosing regimens. However, reliable DGI model input data from in vivo and in vitro measurements are crucial. For this, collaboration among pharmacometricians, laboratory scientists and clinicians is important to provide homogeneous datasets and unambiguous model parameters. For a broad adaptation of validated DGI models in clinical practice, interdisciplinary cooperation should be promoted and qualification toolchains must be established.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the prognostic power of serum uric acid (UA) in predicting adverse events in elderly acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). METHODS The analysis involved 718 ACS patients >80 years old whose general clinical data and baseline blood biochemical indicators were collected prospectively from January 2006 to December 2012. These patients were classified into two groups based on DM status, and then followed up after discharge. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for major adverse cardiac event (MACE) rates and all-cause mortality. Multivariate Cox regression was performed to analyze the relationship between UA level and long-term clinical prognosis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were analyzed to predict the cutoff value of UA in elderly ACS patients with DM. There were 242 and 476 patients in the DM and non-DM (NDM) groups, respectively, and the follow-up time after discharge was 40‒120 months (median, 63 months; interquartile range, 51‒74 months). RESULTS The all-cause mortality, cardiac mortality, and MACE rates in both DM and NDM patients were higher than those in the control group (P=0.001). All-cause mortalities, cardiac mortalities, and MACE rates in DM patients with moderate and high UA levels were significantly higher than those in the NDM group (P=0.001). Long-term survival rates decreased significantly with increased UA levels in the ACS groups (P=0.001). UA (odds ratio (OR)=2.106, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.244‒3.568, P=0.006) was found to be an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality and MACE in elderly ACS patients with DM. The cutoff value of UA was 353.6 μmol/L (sensitivity, 67.4%; specificity, 65.7%). CONCLUSIONS Serum UA level is a strong independent predictor of long-term all-cause death and MACE in elderly ACS patients with DM.
