RESUMO
Panobinostat (Farydak) is an orally active hydroxamic acid-derived histone deacetylase inhibitor used for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Based on recombinant cytochrome P450 (P450) kinetic analyses in vitro, panobinostat oxidative metabolism in human liver microsomes was mediated primarily by CYP3A4 with lower contributions by CYP2D6 and CYP2C19. Panobinostat was also an in vitro reversible and time-dependent inhibitor of CYP3A4/5 and a reversible inhibitor of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19. Based on a previous clinical drug-drug interaction study with ketoconazole (KTZ), the contribution of CYP3A4 in vivo was estimated to be â¼40%. Using clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) data from several trials, including the KTZ drug-drug interaction (DDI) study, a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was built to predict panobinostat PK after single and multiple doses (within 2-fold of observed values for most trials) and the clinical DDI with KTZ (predicted and observed area under the curve ratios of 1.8). The model was then applied to predict the drug interaction with the strong CYP3A4 inducer rifampin (RIF) and the sensitive CYP3A4 substrate midazolam (MDZ) in lieu of clinical trials. Panobinostat exposure was predicted to decrease in the presence of RIF (65%) and inconsequentially increase MDZ exposure (4%). Additionally, PBPK modeling was used to examine the effects of stomach pH on the absorption of panobinostat in humans and determined that absorption of panobinostat is not expected to be affected by increases in stomach pH. The results from these studies were incorporated into the Food and Drug Administration-approved product label, providing guidance for panobinostat dosing recommendations when it is combined with other drugs.

1. Absorption, distribution, metabolism, transport and elimination properties of omadacycline, an aminomethylcycline antibiotic, were investigated in vitro and in a study in healthy male subjects. 2. Omadacycline was metabolically stable in human liver microsomes and hepatocytes and did not inhibit or induce any of the nine cytochrome P450 or five transporters tested. Omadacycline was a substrate of P-glycoprotein, but not of the other transporters. 3. Omadacycline metabolic stability was confirmed in six healthy male subjects who received a single 300 mg oral dose of [14C]-omadacycline (36.6 µCi). Absorption was rapid with peak radioactivity (â¼610 ngEq/mL) between 1-4 h in plasma or blood. The AUClast of plasma radioactivity (only quantifiable to 8 h due to low radioactivity) was 3096 ngEq h/mL and apparent terminal half-life was 11.1 h. Unchanged omadacycline reached peak plasma concentrations (â¼563 ng/mL) between 1-4 h. Apparent plasma half-life was 17.6 h with biphasic elimination. Plasma exposure (AUCinf) averaged 9418 ng h/mL, with high clearance (CL/F, 32.8 L/h) and volume of distribution (Vz/F 828 L). No plasma metabolites were observed. 4. Radioactivity recovery of the administered dose in excreta was complete (>95%); renal and fecal elimination were 14.4% and 81.1%, respectively. No metabolites were observed in urine or feces, only the omadacycline C4-epimer.

Identification of polar metabolites of drug candidates during development is often challenging. Several prominent polar metabolites of 2-amino-1-(2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-((4-fluorophenyl)amino)-8,8-dimethyl-5,6-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-7(8H)-yl)ethanone ([(14)C]KAF156), an antimalarial agent, were detected in rat urine from an absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion study but could not be characterized by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) because of low ionization efficiency. In such instances, a strategy often chosen by investigators is to use a radiolabeled compound with high specific activity, having an isotopic mass ratio (i.e., [(12)C]/[(14)C]) and mass difference that serve as the basis for a mass filter using accurate mass spectrometry. Unfortunately, [(14)C]KAF156-1 was uniformly labeled (n = 1-6) with the mass ratio of â¼0.1. This ratio was insufficient to be useful as a mass filter despite the high specific activity (120 µCi/mg). At this stage in development, stable isotope labeled [(13)C6]KAF156-1 was available as the internal standard for the quantification of KAF156. We were thus able to design an oral dose as a mixture of [(14)C]KAF156-1 (specific activity 3.65 µCi/mg) and [(13)C6]KAF156-1 with a mass ratio of [(12)C]/[(13)C6] as 0.9 and the mass difference as 6.0202. By using this mass filter strategy, four polar metabolites were successfully identified in rat urine. Subsequently, using a similar dual labeling approach, [(14)C]KAF156-2 and [(13)C2]KAF156-2 were synthesized to allow the detection of any putative polar metabolites that may have lost labeling during biotransformations using the previous [(14)C]KAF156-1. Three polar metabolites were thereby identified and M43, a less polar metabolite, was proposed as the key intermediate metabolite leading to the formation of a total of seven polar metabolites. Overall this dual labeling approach proved practical and valuable for the identification of polar metabolites by LC-MS/MS.

1. Sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696) is an angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) providing simultaneous inhibition of neprilysin (neutral endopeptidase 24.11; NEP) and blockade of the angiotensin II type-1 (AT1) receptor. 2. Following oral administration, [(14)C]LCZ696 delivers systemic exposure to valsartan and AHU377 (sacubitril), which is rapidly metabolized to LBQ657 (M1), the biologically active neprilysin inhibitor. Peak sacubitril plasma concentrations were reached within 0.5-1 h. The mean terminal half-lives of sacubitril, LBQ657 and valsartan were â¼1.3, â¼12 and â¼21 h, respectively. 3. Renal excretion was the dominant route of elimination of radioactivity in human. Urine accounted for 51.7-67.8% and feces for 36.9 to 48.3 % of the total radioactivity. The majority of the drug was excreted as the active metabolite LBQ657 in urine and feces, total accounting for â¼85.5% of the total dose. 4. Based upon in vitro studies, the potential for LCZ696 to inhibit or induce cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes and cause CYP-mediated drug interactions clinically was found to be low.

KAE609 [(1'R,3'S)-5,7'-dichloro-6'-fluoro-3'-methyl-2',3',4',9'-tetrahydrospiro[indoline-3,1'-pyridol[3,4-b]indol]-2-one] is a potent, fast-acting, schizonticidal agent being developed for the treatment of malaria. After oral dosing of KAE609 to rats and dogs, the major radioactive component in plasma was KAE609. An oxidative metabolite, M18, was the prominent metabolite in rat and dog plasma. KAE609 was well absorbed and extensively metabolized such that low levels of parent compound (≤11% of the dose) were detected in feces. The elimination of KAE609 and metabolites was primarily mediated via biliary pathways (≥93% of the dose) in the feces of rats and dogs. M37 and M23 were the major metabolites in rat and dog feces, respectively. Among the prominent metabolites of KAE609, the isobaric chemical species, M37, was observed, suggesting the involvement of an isomerization or rearrangement during biotransformation. Subsequent structural elucidation of M37 revealed that KAE609, a spiroindolone, undergoes an unusual C-C bond cleavage, followed by a 1,2-acyl shift to form a ring expansion metabolite M37. The in vitro metabolism of KAE609 in hepatocytes was investigated to understand this novel biotransformation. The metabolism of KAE609 was qualitatively similar across the species studied; thus, further investigation was conducted using human recombinant cytochrome P450 enzymes. The ring expansion reaction was found to be primarily catalyzed by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 yielding M37. M37 was subsequently oxidized to M18 by CYP3A4 and hydroxylated to M23 primarily by CYP1A2. Interestingly, M37 was colorless, whereas M18 and M23 showed orange yellow color. The source of the color of M18 and M23 was attributed to their extended conjugated system of double bonds in the structures.

KAE609 [(1'R,3'S)-5,7'-dichloro-6'-fluoro-3'-methyl-2',3',4',9'-tetrahydrospiro[indoline-3,1'-pyridol[3,4-b]indol]-2-one] is a potent, fast-acting, schizonticidal agent in clinical development for the treatment of malaria. This study investigated the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of KAE609 after oral administration of [(14)C]KAE609 in healthy subjects. After oral administration to human subjects, KAE609 was the major radioactive component (approximately 76% of the total radioactivity in plasma); M23 was the major circulating oxidative metabolite (approximately 12% of the total radioactivity in plasma). Several minor oxidative metabolites (M14, M16, M18, and M23.5B) were also identified, each accounting for approximately 3%-8% of the total radioactivity in plasma. KAE609 was well absorbed and extensively metabolized, such that KAE609 accounted for approximately 32% of the dose in feces. The elimination of KAE609 and metabolites was primarily mediated via biliary pathways. M23 was the major metabolite in feces. Subjects reported semen discoloration after dosing in prior studies; therefore, semen samples were collected once from each subject to further evaluate this clinical observation. Radioactivity excreted in semen was negligible, but the major component in semen was M23, supporting the rationale that this yellow-colored metabolite was the main source of semen discoloration. In this study, a new metabolite, M16, was identified in all biologic matrices albeit at low levels. All 19 recombinant human cytochrome P450 enzymes were capable of catalyzing the hydroxylation of M23 to form M16 even though the extent of turnover was very low. Thus, electrochemistry was used to generate a sufficient quantity of M16 for structural elucidation. Metabolic pathways of KAE609 in humans are summarized herein and M23 is the major metabolite in plasma and excreta.

Alisporivir is a novel cyclophilin-binding molecule with potent anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) activity. In vitro data from human liver microsomes suggest that alisporivir is a substrate and a time-dependent inhibitor (TDI) of CYP3A4. The aim of the current work was to develop a novel physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model to quantitatively assess the magnitude of CYP3A4 mediated drug-drug interactions with alisporivir as the substrate or victim drug. Towards that, a Simcyp PBPK model was developed by integrating in vitro data with in vivo clinical findings to characterize the clinical pharmacokinetics of alisporivir and further assess the magnitude of drug-drug interactions. Incorporated with absorption, distribution, elimination, and TDI data, the model accurately predicted AUC, Cmax, and tmax values after single or multiple doses of alisporivir with a prediction deviation within ± 32%. The model predicted an alisporivir AUC increase by 9.4-fold and a decrease by 86% when alisporivir was co-administrated with ketoconazole (CYP3A4 inhibitor) or rifampin (CYP3A4 inducer), respectively. Predictions were within ± 20% of the observed changes. In conclusion, the PBPK model successfully predicted the alisporivir PK and the magnitude of drug-drug interactions.

BACKGROUND: A tiered approach to drug metabolite measurement and identification is often used industry wide to fulfill regulatory requirements specified in recent US FDA and European Medicines Agency guidance. Although this strategy is structured in its intent it can be customized to address unique challenges which may arise during early and late drug development activities. These unconventional methods can be applied at any stage to facilitate metabolite characterization. RESULTS: Two case studies are described NVS 1 and 2. NVS 1: plasma concentrations, measured using a radiolabeled MS-response factor exploratory method, were comparable to those from a validated bioanalytical method. The NVS 2 example showed how in vitro analysis helped to characterize an unexpectedly abundant circulating plasma metabolite M3. CONCLUSION: A tiered approach incorporating many aspects of conventional and flexible analytical methodologies can be pulled together to address regulatory questions surrounding drug metabolite characterization.

Metabolic activation of new chemical entities to reactive intermediates is routinely monitored in drug discovery and development. Reactive intermediates may bind to cellular macromolecules such as proteins, DNA and may eventually lead to cell death via necrosis, apoptosis or oxidative stress. The evidence that the ultimate outcome of metabolic activation is an adverse drug reaction manifested as in vivo toxicity, is at best circumstantial. However, understanding the process of bioactivation of structural alerts by trapping the reactive intermediates is critical to guide medicinal chemistry efforts in quest for safer and potent molecules. This commentary provides a brief introduction to adverse drug reactions and mechanisms of reactive intermediate formation for various functional groups, followed by a review of chemical design approaches, examples of such strategies, possible isosteric replacements for structural alerts and rationalization of laboratory approaches to determine reactive intermediates, as a guide to today's medicinal chemist.

The absorption, metabolism, and excretion of (1-[[3-hydroxy-1-adamantyl) amino] acetyl]-2-cyano-(S)-pyrrolidine (vildagliptin), an orally active and highly selective dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, were evaluated in four healthy male subjects after a single p.o. 100-mg dose of [(14)C]vildagliptin. Serial blood and complete urine and feces were collected for 168 h postdose. Vildagliptin was rapidly absorbed, and peak plasma concentrations were attained at 1.1 h postdose. The fraction of drug absorbed was calculated to be at least 85.4%. Unchanged drug and a carboxylic acid metabolite (M20.7) were the major circulating components in plasma, accounting for 25.7% (vildagliptin) and 55% (M20.7) of total plasma radioactivity area under the curve. The terminal half-life of vildagliptin was 2.8 h. Complete recovery of the dose was achieved within 7 days, with 85.4% recovered in urine (22.6% unchanged drug) and the remainder in feces (4.54% unchanged drug). Vildagliptin was extensively metabolized via at least four pathways before excretion, with the major metabolite M20.7 resulting from cyano group hydrolysis, which is not mediated by cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes. Minor metabolites resulted from amide bond hydrolysis (M15.3), glucuronidation (M20.2), or oxidation on the pyrrolidine moiety of vildagliptin (M20.9 and M21.6). The diverse metabolic pathways combined with a lack of significant P450 metabolism (1.6% of the dose) make vildagliptin less susceptible to potential pharmacokinetic interactions with comedications of P450 inhibitors/inducers. Furthermore, as vildagliptin is not a P450 inhibitor, it is unlikely that vildagliptin would affect the metabolic clearance of comedications metabolized by P450 enzymes.

Lumiracoxib (Prexige) is a selective cyclo-oxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitor developed for the treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and acute pain. Lumiracoxib possesses a carboxylic acid group that makes it weakly acidic (acid dissociation constant [pKa] 4.7), distinguishing it from other selective COX-2 inhibitors. Lumiracoxib has good oral bioavailability (74%). It is rapidly absorbed, reaching maximum plasma concentrations 2 hours after dosing, and is highly plasma protein bound. Lumiracoxib has a short elimination half-life from plasma (mean 4 hours) and demonstrates dose-proportional plasma pharmacokinetics with no accumulation during multiple dosing. In patients with rheumatoid arthritis, peak lumiracoxib synovial fluid concentrations occur 3-4 hours later than in plasma and exceed plasma concentrations from 5 hours after dosing to the end of the 24-hour dosing interval. These data suggest that lumiracoxib may be associated with reduced systemic exposure, while still reaching sites where COX-2 inhibition is required for pain relief. Lumiracoxib is metabolised extensively prior to excretion, with only a small amount excreted unchanged in urine or faeces. Lumiracoxib and its metabolites are excreted via renal and faecal routes in approximately equal amounts. The major metabolic pathways identified involve oxidation of the 5-methyl group of lumiracoxib and/or hydroxylation of its dihaloaromatic ring. Major metabolites of lumiracoxib in plasma are the 5-carboxy, 4'-hydroxy and 4'-hydroxy-5-carboxy derivatives, of which only the 4'-hydroxy derivative is active and COX-2 selective. In vitro, the major oxidative pathways are catalysed primarily by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 with very minor contribution from CYP1A2 and CYP2C19. However, in patients genotyped as poor CYP2C9 metabolisers, exposure to lumiracoxib (area under the plasma concentration-time curve) is not significantly increased compared with control subjects, indicating no requirement for adjustment of lumiracoxib dose in these subjects. Lumiracoxib is selective for COX-2 compared with COX-1 in the human whole blood assay with a ratio of 515 : 1 in healthy subjects and in patients with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. COX-2 selectivity was confirmed by a lack of inhibition of arachidonic acid and collagen-induced platelet aggregation. COX-2 selectivity of lumiracoxib is associated with a reduced incidence of gastroduodenal erosions compared with naproxen and a lack of effect on both small and large bowel permeability. Lumiracoxib does not exhibit any clinically meaningful interactions with a range of commonly used medications including aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), fluconazole, an ethinylestradiol- and levonorgestrel-containing oral contraceptive, omeprazole, the antacid Maalox, methotrexate and warfarin (although, as in common practice, routine monitoring of coagulation is recommended when lumiracoxib is co-administered with warfarin). As such, dose adjustments are not required when co-administering these agents with lumiracoxib. In addition, moderate hepatic impairment and mild to moderate renal impairment do not appear to influence lumiracoxib exposure.

Lumiracoxib (Prexige; 2-[(2-fluoro-6-chlorophenyl)amino]-5-methyl-benzeneacetic acid) is a novel, chemically distinct cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor, which has been developed for the treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and acute pain. The absorption, metabolism, disposition, and mass balance of [14C]lumiracoxib were investigated in four healthy male subjects after a single 400-mg oral dose. Serial blood and complete urine and feces were collected for 168 h postdose. Lumiracoxib was rapidly absorbed, achieving mean plasma concentrations >1 microg/ml within 1 h of dosing. Unchanged drug in plasma accounted for 81 to 91% of radioactivity up to 2.5 h postdose, suggesting a modest first-pass effect; unchanged drug was the major circulating component in plasma, accounting for approximately 43% of the AUC(0 to 24 h). The terminal half-life of lumiracoxib in plasma was 6.5 h. Major plasma metabolites were the 5-carboxy, 4'-hydroxy, and 4'-hydroxy-5-carboxy derivatives. Excretion involved both renal (54.1%) and fecal (42.7%) routes, and dose recovery was almost complete (96.8%). Lumiracoxib was extensively metabolized before excretion, with little unchanged drug in urine (3.3% of dose) or feces (2.0% of dose). The major metabolic pathways of lumiracoxib were oxidation of the 5-methyl group and hydroxylation of the dihaloaromatic ring. Glucuronic acid conjugates of lumiracoxib metabolites (and to a minor extent lumiracoxib itself) were identified, although there was no evidence of cysteine, mercapturic acid, or glutathione conjugates. In summary, orally administered lumiracoxib is rapidly absorbed and undergoes extensive metabolism before excretion via urine and feces, with no evidence of formation of potentially reactive metabolites.

Peptide deformylase (PDF) is a prokaryotic metalloenzyme that is essential for bacterial growth and is a new target for the development of antibacterial agents. All previously reported PDF inhibitors with sufficient antibacterial activity share the structural feature of a 2-substituted alkanoyl at the P(1)' site. Using a combination of iterative parallel synthesis and traditional medicinal chemistry, we have identified a new class of PDF inhibitors with N-alkyl urea at the P(1)' site. Compounds with MICs of
