RESUMO

PF-05212377 (SAM760) is a potent and selective 5-HT6 antagonist, previously under development for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. In vitro, PF-05212377 was determined to be a P-gp/non-BCRP human transporter substrate. Species differences were observed in the in vivo brain penetration of PF-05212377 with a ratio of the unbound concentration in brain/unbound concentration in plasma (Cbu /Cpu ) of 0.05 in rat and 0.64 in non-human primates (NHP). Based on pre-clinical evidence, brain penetration and target engagement of PF-05212377 was confirmed in NHP using positron emission tomography (PET) measured 5-HT6 receptor occupancy (%RO). The NHP Cpu EC50 of PF-05212377 was 0.31 nM (consistent with the in vitro human 5HT6 Ki : 0.32 nM). P-gp has been reported to be expressed in higher abundance at the rat BBB and in similar abundance at the BBB of non-human primates and human; brain penetration of PF-05212377 in humans was postulated to be similar to that in non-human primates. In humans, PF-05212377 demonstrated dose and concentration dependent increases in 5-HT6 RO; maximal 5-HT6 RO of ∼80% was measured in humans at doses of ≥15 mg with an estimated unbound plasma EC50 of 0.37 nM (which was similar to the in vitro human 5HT6 binding Ki 0.32 nM). In conclusion, cumulative evidence from NHP and human PET RO assessments confirmed that NHP is more appropriate than the rat for the prediction of human brain penetration of PF-05212377, a P-gp/non-BCRP substrate. Clinical trial number: NCT01258751.

RESUMO

The use of intersystem extrapolation factors (ISEF) is required for the quantitative scaling of drug metabolism data generated in individually expressed cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes when estimating fractional contribution (fm) to metabolism by P450 enzymes in vivo. For successful prediction of fm, ISEF values must be universal across all substrates for any individual enzyme. In this study, ISEF values were generated for ten CYP3A4 selective substrates using a common source of recombinant heterologously expressed CYP3A4 (rCYP) and a pool of human liver microsomes. The resulting ISEF values for CYP3A4 were substrate-dependent and ranged 8-fold, with the highest value generated from intrinsic clearance of midazolam depletion (0.36) and the lowest from quinidine depletion (0.044). Application of these ISEF values for estimation of the fractional contribution of CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 to omeprazole clearance yielded values that ranged from 0.21-0.63 and 0.37-0.79, respectively, as compared with back-extrapolated in vivo fm values of 0.27 (CYP3A4) and 0.85 (CYP2C19) from clinical pharmacokinetic data. For risperidone, estimated fm values for CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 ranged from 0.87-0.98 and 0.02-0.13, respectively, as compared with in vivo values of 0.36 (CYP3A4) and 0.63-0.88 (CYP2D6), showing that the importance of CYP3A4 was overestimated, and the importance of CYP2D6 underestimated. Overall, these findings suggest that ISEF values for CYP3A4 can vary with the marker substrate used to derive them, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the approach of using metabolism data from rCYP3A4 with ISEF values for the prediction of fraction metabolized values in vivo. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Intersystem extrapolation factors are utilized for assigning fractional contributions of individual enzymes to drug clearance (fm) from drug metabolism data generated in recombinant P450s. The present data shows that intersystem extrapolation factors values for cytochrome P4503A4 vary with the substrate. This can lead to variable and erroneous prediction of fm.

RESUMO

Cytochrome P450 reaction phenotyping to determine the fraction of metabolism values (fm) for individual enzymes is a standard study in the evaluation of a new drug. However, there are technical challenges in these studies caused by shortcomings in the selectivity of P450 inhibitors and unreliable scaling procedures for recombinant P450 (rCYP) data. In this investigation, a two-step "qualitative-then-quantitative" approach to P450 reaction phenotyping is described. In the first step, each rCYP is tested qualitatively for potential to generate metabolites. In the second step, selective inhibitors for the P450s identified in step1 are tested for their effects on metabolism using full inhibition curves. Forty-eight drugs were evaluated in step 1 and there were no examples of missing an enzyme important to in vivo clearance. Five drugs (escitalopram, fluvastatin, pioglitazone, propranolol, and risperidone) were selected for full phenotyping in step2 to determine fm values, with findings compared to fm values estimated from single inhibitor concentration data and rCYP with intersystem-extrapolation-factor corrections. The two-step approach yielded fm values for major drug clearing enzymes that are close to those estimated from clinical data: escitalopram and CYP2C19 (0.42 vs 0.36-0.82), fluvastatin and CYP2C9 (0.76 vs 0.76), pioglitazone and CYP2C8 (0.72 vs 0.73), propranolol and CYP2D6 (0.68 vs 0.37-0.56) and risperidone and CYP2D6 (0.60 vs 0.66-0.88). Reaction phenotyping data generated in this fashion should offer better input to physiologically-based pharmacokinetic models for prediction of DDI and impact of genetic polymorphisms on drug clearance. The qualitative-then-quantitative approach is proposed as a replacement to standard reaction phenotyping strategies. Significance Statement P450 reaction phenotyping is important for projecting drug-drug interactions and interpatient variability in drug exposure. However, currently recommended practices can frequently fail to provide reliable estimates of the fractional contributions of specific P450 enzymes (fm) to drug clearance. In this report, we describe a two-step qualitative-then-quantitative reaction phenotyping approach that yields more accurate estimates of fm.

RESUMO

The utility of chemical inhibitors in cytochrome P450 (CYP) reaction phenotyping is highly dependent on their selectivity and potency for their target CYP isoforms. In the present study, seventeen inhibitors of CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4/5 commonly used in reaction phenotyping were evaluated for their cross-enzyme selectivity in pooled human liver microsomes. The data were evaluated using a statistical desirability analysis to identify (1) inhibitors of superior selectivity for reaction phenotyping and (2) optimal concentrations for each. Among the inhibitors evaluated, α-naphthoflavone, furafylline, sulfaphenazole, tienilic acid, N-benzylnirvanol, and quinidine were most selective, such that their respective target enzymes were inhibited by ~95% without inhibiting any other CYP enzyme by more than 10%. Other commonly employed inhibitors, such as ketoconazole and montelukast, among others, were of insufficient selectivity to yield a concentration that could adequately inhibit their target enzymes without affecting other CYP enzymes. To overcome these shortcomings, an experimental design was developed wherein dose response data from a densely sampled multi-concentration inhibition curve are analyzed by a six-parameter inhibition curve function, allowing accounting of the inhibition of off-target CYP isoforms inhibition and more reliable determination of maximum targeted enzyme inhibition. The approach was exemplified using rosiglitazone N-demethylation, catalyzed by both CYP2C8 and 3A4, and was able to discern the off-target inhibition by ketoconazole and montelukast from the inhibition of the targeted enzyme. This methodology yields more accurate estimates of CYP contributions in reaction phenotyping. Significance Statement Isoform-selective chemical inhibitors are important tools for identifying and quantifying enzyme contributions as part of a CYP reaction phenotyping assessment for projecting drug-drug interactions. However, currently employed practices fail to adequately compensate for shortcomings in inhibitor selectivity and the resulting confounding impact on estimates of the CYP enzyme contribution to drug clearance. In this report, we describe a detailed IC50 study design with 6-parameter modeling approach that yields more accurate estimates of enzyme contribution.

RESUMO

Abrocitinib is an oral once-daily Janus kinase 1 selective inhibitor being developed for the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. This study examined the disposition of abrocitinib in male participants following oral and intravenous administration using accelerator mass spectroscopy methodology to estimate pharmacokinetic parameters and characterize metabolite (M) profiles. The results indicated abrocitinib had a systemic clearance of 64.2 L/h, a steady-state volume of distribution of 100 L, extent of absorption >90%, time to maximum plasma concentration of ∼0.5 hours, and absolute oral bioavailability of 60%. The half-life of both abrocitinib and total radioactivity was similar, with no indication of metabolite accumulation. Abrocitinib was the main circulating drug species in plasma (∼26%), with 3 major monohydroxylated metabolites (M1, M2, and M4) at >10%. Oxidative metabolism was the primary route of elimination for abrocitinib, with the greatest disposition of radioactivity shown in the urine (∼85%). In vitro phenotyping indicated abrocitinib cytochrome P450 fraction of metabolism assignments of 0.53 for CYP2C19, 0.30 for CYP2C9, 0.11 for CYP3A4, and ∼0.06 for CYP2B6. The principal systemic metabolites M1, M2, and M4 were primarily cleared renally. Abrocitinib, M1, and M2 showed pharmacology with similar Janus kinase 1 selectivity, whereas M4 was inactive. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This study provides a detailed understanding of the disposition and metabolism of abrocitinib, a Janus kinase inhibitor for atopic dermatitis, in humans, as well as characterization of clearance pathways and pharmacokinetics of abrocitinib and its metabolites.

RESUMO

In mammals, the master circadian clock synchronizes daily rhythms of physiology and behavior with the day-night cycle. Failure of synchrony, which increases the risk for numerous chronic diseases, can be treated by phase adjustment of the circadian clock pharmacologically, for example, with melatonin, or a CK1δ/ε inhibitor. Here, using in silico experiments with a systems pharmacology model describing molecular interactions, and pharmacokinetic and behavioral experiments in cynomolgus monkeys, we find that the circadian phase delay caused by CK1δ/ε inhibition is more strongly attenuated by light in diurnal monkeys and humans than in nocturnal mice, which are common preclinical models. Furthermore, the effect of CK1δ/ε inhibition strongly depends on endogenous PER2 protein levels, which differs depending on both the molecular cause of the circadian disruption and the patient's lighting environment. To circumvent such large interindividual variations, we developed an adaptive chronotherapeutics to identify precise dosing regimens that could restore normal circadian phase under different conditions. Our results reveal the importance of photosensitivity in the clinical efficacy of clock-modulating drugs, and enable precision medicine for circadian disruption.

RESUMO

Glasdegib (DAURISMO) is a hedgehog pathway inhibitor approved for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) has been identified as a major metabolism and clearance pathway for glasdegib. The role of CYP3A4 in the clearance of glasdegib has been confirmed with clinical drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies following the coadministration of glasdegib with the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole and the strong inducer rifampin. To evaluate potential drug interactions with CYP3A4 modulators, the coadministration of glasdegib with a moderate CYP3A4 inducer, efavirenz, was evaluated using physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling using the Simcyp simulator. The glasdegib compound file was developed using measured physicochemical properties, data from human intravenous and oral pharmacokinetics, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion studies, and in vitro reaction phenotyping results. The modeling assumptions, model parameters, and assignments of fractional CYP3A4 metabolism were verified using results from clinical pharmacokinetics (PK) and DDI studies with ketoconazole and rifampin. The verified glasdegib and efavirenz compound files, the latter of which was available in the Simcyp simulator, were used to estimate the potential impact of efavirenz on the PK of glasdegib. PBPK modeling predicted a glasdegib area under the concentration-time curve ratio of 0.45 and maximum plasma concentration ratio of 0.75 following coadministration with efavirenz. The PBPK results, in lieu of a formal clinical study, informed the drug label, with the recommendation to double the clinical dose of glasdegib when administered in conjunction with a moderate CYP3A4 inducer, followed by a resumption of the original dose 7 days post-discontinuation.

RESUMO

Previous publications suggest that interstitial fluid compound concentrations (C(ISF)) best determine quantitative neurotherapeutic pharmacology relationships, although confirming large animal C(ISF) remains elusive. Therefore, this work primarily evaluated using respective acute dose, rat-derived unbound brain compound concentration-to-unbound plasma compound concentration ratios (C(b,u)/C(p,u)) to project accurately dog and nonhuman primate (nhp) C(b,u), a C(ISF) surrogate, from measured C(p,u) for the highly permeable non-P-glycoprotein substrates N-{(3R,4S)-3-[4-(5-cyano-2-thienyl)phenyl]tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl}propane-2-sulfonamide (PF-4778574) and [4-chloro-5-fluoro-2-(3-methoxy-2-methyl-phenoxy)-benzyl]-methylamine (CE-157119) and the P-glycoprotein substrates risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone. First, in rats, it was determined for eight of nine commercial compounds that their single-dose-derived C(b,u)/C(p,u) were ≤2.5-fold different from their steady-state values; for all nine drugs, their C(b,u)/C(p,u) were ≤2.5-fold different from their steady-state C(ISF)/C(p,u) (Drug Metab Dispos 37:787-793, 2009). Subsequently, PF-4778574, CE-157119 and risperidone underwent rat, dog, and nhp neuropharmacokinetics studies. In large animals at each measured C(p,u), the methodology adequately predicted [estimated mean (95% confidence interval) of 1.02 (0.80, 1.29)] the observed C(b,u) for PF-4778574 and CE-157119 but underpredicted [0.17 (0.12, 0.22)] C(b,u) for risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone. The data imply that forecasting higher species C(b,u) from a measured C(p,u) and rat acute dose-determined C(b,u):C(p,u) is of high confidence for nonefflux transporter substrates that show net passive diffusion (PF-4778574) or net active influx (CE-157119) at the blood-brain barrier in rats. However, this methodology appears ineffective for correctly predicting large animal C(b,u) for P-glycoprotein substrates (risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone) because of their apparently much greater C(p,u)-favoring C(b,u):C(p,u) asymmetry in rats versus dogs or nhp. Instead, for such P-glycoprotein substrates, large animal-specific cerebrospinal fluid compound concentrations (C(CSF)) seemingly best represent C(b,u).

RESUMO

The discovery, synthesis and SAR of a novel series of 3-benzyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-ones as positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of mGluR2 is described. Expedient hit-to-lead work on a single HTS hit led to the identification of a ligand-efficient and structurally attractive series of mGluR2 PAMs. Human microsomal clearance and suboptimal physicochemical properties of the initial lead were improved to give potent, metabolically stable and orally available mGluR2 PAMs.

RESUMO

Four P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) substrates with human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations and preclinical neuropharmacokinetics were used to assess in vitro-in vivo extrapolation of brain penetration in preclinical species and the ability to predict human brain penetration. Unbound brain (Cb,u), unbound plasma (Cp,u), and CSF compound concentrations (CCSF) were measured in rats and nonhuman primates (NHPs), and the unbound partition coefficients (Cb,u/Cp,u and CCSF/Cp,u) were used to assess brain penetration. The results indicated that for P-gp and BCRP dual substrates, brain penetration was severally impaired in all species. In comparison, for P-gp substrates that are weak or non-BCRP substrates, improved brain penetration was observed in NHPs and humans than in rats. Overall, NHP appears to be more predictive of human brain penetration for P-gp substrates with weak or no interaction with BCRP than rat. Although CCSF does not quantitatively correspond to Cb,u for efflux transporter substrates, it is mostly within 3-fold higher of Cb,u in rat and NHP, suggesting that CCSF can be used as a surrogate for Cb,u. Taken together, a holistic approach including both in vitro transporter and in vivo neuropharmacokinetics data enables a better estimation of human brain penetration of P-gp/BCRP substrates.

RESUMO

To enable the clinical development of our CNS casein kinase 1 delta/epsilon (CK1δ/ε) inhibitor project, we investigated the possibility of developing a CNS positron emission tomography (PET) radioligand. For this effort, we focused our design and synthesis efforts on the initial CK1δ/ε inhibitor HTS hits with the goal of identifying a compound that would fulfill a set of recommended PET ligand criteria. We identified [3H]PF-5236216 (9) as a tool ligand that meets most of the key CNS PET attributes including high CNS MPO PET desirability score and kinase selectivity, CNS penetration, and low nonspecific binding. We further used [3H]-9 to determine the binding affinity for PF-670462, a literature CK1δ/ε inhibitor tool compound. Lastly, [3H]-9 was used to measure in vivo target occupancy (TO) of PF-670462 in mouse and correlated TO with CK1δ/ε in vivo pharmacology (circadian rhythm modulation).

RESUMO

In rats, oxycodone, diphenhydramine, and [4-chloro-5-fluoro-2-(3-methoxy-2-methyl-phenoxy)-benzyl]-methylamine (CE-157119) undergo net active influx at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) based on significantly greater interstitial fluid compound concentrations (CISF ) than unbound plasma compound concentrations (Cp,u ). Oxycodone and diphenhydramine have CISF :Cp,u of 3.0 and 5.5, respectively, while CE-157119 has an unbound brain compound concentration (Cb,u ):Cp,u of 3.90; Cb,u is a high-confidence CISF surrogate. However, only CE-157119 has published dog and nonhuman primate (nhp) neuropharmacokinetics, which show similar Cb,u :Cp,u (4.61 and 2.04, respectively) as rats. Thus, diphenhydramine underwent identical interspecies neuropharmacokinetics studies to determine if its net active BBB influx in rats replicated in dogs and/or nhp. The single-dose-derived rat Cb,u :Cp,u (3.90) was consistent with prior steady-state-derived CISF :Cp,u and similar to those in dogs (4.88) and nhp (4.51-5.00). All large animal interneurocompartmental ratios were ≤1.8-fold different than their rat values, implying that diphenhydramine has constant and substantial Cb,u -favoring disequilibria in these mammals. Accordingly, the applied Cb,u -forecasting methodology accurately predicted [estimated mean (95% confidence interval) of 0.84 (0.68, 1.05)] Cb,u from each measured Cp,u in large animals. The collective datasets suggest these Cb,u -preferring asymmetries are mediated by a species-independent BBB active uptake system whose identification, full characterization, and structure-activity relationships should be prioritized for potential exploitation.

RESUMO

Selective activation of the Group II metabotropic glutamate receptors 2/3 (mGlu2/3) by either full agonists or positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) show anxiolytic activity. In the present study the anxiolytic profile of mGlu2/3 receptor agonists LY-354740 and LY-404039 and the mGlu2 receptor PAM 1-methyl-2-((cis-3-methyl-4-(4-trifluoromethyl-2-methoxy)-phenyl)piperidin-1-yl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (MTFIP) were evaluated using neurophysiology-based assays. Activation of mGlu2/3 receptors by these compounds, as well as the positive control diazepam, significantly decreased the frequency of hippocampal theta oscillation elicited by stimulation of the brainstem nucleus pontis oralis (nPO), a characteristic action of anxiolytic compounds. Since the nPO is a critical region involved in regulation of rapid eye movement sleep, mGlu2/3 receptor activators were also tested on sleep parameters, as well as on cortical and hippocampal encephalography (EEG) activity. Both mGlu2/3 agonists and the mGlu2 PAM significantly prolonged REM sleep latency and reduced total REM sleep duration while during the active awake state all compounds lowered hippocampal peak theta frequency. However, diazepam and mGlu2/3 agonists/PAM elicited opposite changes in cortical EEG delta and beta bands. Delta power significantly increased after any of the mGlu2/3 compounds but decreased after diazepam. In the beta band, mGlu2/3 receptor agonists dose-dependently decreased beta power in contrast to the well-known beta activation by diazepam. These effects lasted 3-4h and could not be explained by modest, transient changes (<1h) in waking and slow wave sleep. The current observations support the role of mGlu2/3 receptor activators as potential anxiolytic compounds, but indicate a distinct action on cortical EEG activity which is different from the effects of GABA(A) PAMs. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled 'Anxiety and Depression'.

RESUMO

A novel series of mGluR2 positive allosteric modulators (PAMs), 1-[(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyl]-4-phenylpiperidines, is herein disclosed. Structure-activity relationship studies led to potent, selective mGluR2 PAMs with excellent pharmacokinetic profiles.

RESUMO

This study was designed to evaluate the use of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drug concentration and plasma unbound concentration (C(u,plasma)) to predict brain unbound concentration (C(u,brain)). The concentration-time profiles in CSF, plasma, and brain of seven model compounds were determined after subcutaneous administration in rats. The C(u,brain) was estimated from the product of total brain concentrations and unbound fractions, which were determined using brain tissue slice and brain homogenate methods. For theobromine, theophylline, caffeine, fluoxetine, and propranolol, which represent rapid brain penetration compounds with a simple diffusion mechanism, the ratios of the area under the curve of C(u,brain)/C(CSF) and C(u,brain)/C(u,plasma) were 0.27 to 1.5 and 0.29 to 2.1, respectively, using the brain slice method, and were 0.27 to 2.9 and 0.36 to 3.9, respectively, using the brain homogenate method. A P-glycoprotein substrate, CP-141938 (methoxy-3-[(2-phenyl-piperadinyl-3-amino)-methyl]-phenyl-N-methyl-methane-sulfonamide), had C(u,brain)/C(CSF) and C(u,brain)/C(u,plasma) ratios of 0.57 and 0.066, using the brain slice method, and 1.1 and 0.13, using the brain homogenate method, respectively. The slow brain-penetrating compound, N[3-(4'-fluorophenyl)-3-(4'-phenylphenoxy)propyl-]sarcosine, had C(u,brain)/C(CSF) and C(u,brain)/C(u,plasma) ratios of 0.94 and 0.12 using the brain slice method and 0.15 and 0.018 using the brain homogenate method, respectively. Therefore, for quick brain penetration with simple diffusion mechanism compounds, C(CSF) and C(u,plasma) represent C(u,brain) equally well; for efflux substrates or slow brain penetration compounds, C(CSF) appears to be equivalent to or more accurate than C(u,plasma) to represent C(u,brain). Thus, we hypothesize that C(CSF) is equivalent to or better than C(u,plasma) to predict C(u,brain). This hypothesis is supported by the literature data.

RESUMO

This study was designed 1) to examine the effects of blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability [quantified as permeability-surface area product (PS)], unbound fraction in plasma (f(u,plasma)), and brain tissue (f(u,brain)) on the time to reach equilibrium between brain and plasma and 2) to investigate the drug discovery strategies to design and select compounds that can rapidly penetrate the BBB and distribute to the site of action. The pharmacokinetics of seven model compounds: caffeine, CP-141938 [methoxy-3-[(2-phenyl-piperadinyl-3-amino)-methyl]-phenyl-N-methyl-methane-sulfonamide], fluoxetine, NFPS [N[3-(4'-fluorophenyl)-3-(4'-phenylphenoxy)propyl]sarcosine], propranolol, theobromine, and theophylline in rat brain and plasma after subcutaneous administration were studied. The in vivo log PS and log f(u,brain) calculated using a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model correlates with in situ log PS (R(2) = 0.83) and in vitro log f(u,brain) (R(2) = 0.69), where the in situ PS and in vitro f(u,brain) was determined using in situ brain perfusion and equilibrium dialysis using brain homogenate, respectively. The time to achieve brain equilibrium can be quantitated with a proposed parameter, intrinsic brain equilibrium half-life [t(1/2eq,in) = V(b)ln2/(PS . f(u,brain))], where V(b) is the physiological volume of brain. The in vivo log t(1/2eq,in) does not correlate with in situ log PS (R(2) < 0.01) but correlates inversely with log(PS . f(u,brain)) (R(2) = 0.85). The present study demonstrates that rapid brain equilibration requires a combination of high BBB permeability and low brain tissue binding. A high BBB permeability alone cannot guarantee a rapid equilibration. The strategy to select compounds with rapid brain equilibration in drug discovery should identify compounds with high BBB permeability and low nonspecific binding in brain tissue.
