RESUMEN
As organoids and organ-on-chip (OoC) systems move toward preclinical and clinical applications, there is an increased need for method validation. Using a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based approach, we developed a method for measuring small-molecule drugs and metabolites in the cell medium directly sampled from liver organoids/OoC systems. The LC-MS setup was coupled to an automatic filtration and filter flush system with online solid-phase extraction (SPE), allowing for robust and automated sample cleanup/analysis. For the matrix, rich in, e.g., protein, salts, and amino acids, no preinjection sample preparation steps (protein precipitation, SPE, etc.) were necessary. The approach was demonstrated with tolbutamide and its liver metabolite, 4-hydroxytolbutamide (4HT). The method was validated for analysis of cell media of human stem cell-derived liver organoids cultured in static conditions and on a microfluidic platform according to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines with regards to selectivity, matrix effects, accuracy, precision, etc. The system allows for hundreds of injections without replacing chromatography hardware. In summary, drug/metabolite analysis of organoids/OoCs can be performed robustly with minimal sample preparation.

Arsenite is an important heavy metal. Some Chinese traditional medicines contain significant amounts of arsenite. The aim of this study was to investigate subacute exposure of arsenite on activities of cytochrome P450 enzymes and pharmacokinetic behaviors of drugs in rats. Midazolam, tolbutamide, metoprolol, omeprazole, caffeine, and chlorzoxazone, the probe substrates for cytochrome P450 (CYP) s3A, 2C6, 2D, 2C11, 1A, and 2E, were selected as probe drugs for the pharmacokinetic study. Significant decreases in areas under the curves of probe substrates were observed in rats after consecutive 30-day exposure to As at 12 mg/kg. Microsomal incubation study showed that the subacute exposure to arsenite resulted in little change in effects on the activities of P450 enzymes examined. However, everted gut sac study demonstrated that such exposure induced significant decreases in intestinal absorption of these drugs by both passive diffusion and carrier-mediated transport. In addition, in vivo study showed that the arsenite exposure decreased the rate of peristaltic propulsion. The decreases in intestinal permeability of the probe drugs and peristaltic propulsion rate most likely resulted in the observed decreases in the internal exposure of the probe drugs. Exposure to arsenite may lead to the reduction of the efficiencies of pharmaceutical agents coadministered resulting from the observed drug-drug interactions. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Exposure to arsenite may lead to the reduction of the efficiencies of pharmaceutical agents coadministered resulting from the observed drug-drug interactions. The present study, we found that P450 enzyme probe drug exposure was reduced in arsenic-exposed animals (areas under the curve) and the intestinal absorption of the drug was reduced in the animals. Subacute arsenic exposure tends to cause damage to intestinal function, which leads to reduced drug absorption.

Accumulating evidence supports the use of higher doses of rifampicin for tuberculosis (TB) treatment. Rifampicin is a potent inducer of metabolic enzymes and drug transporters, resulting in clinically relevant drug interactions. To assess the drug interaction potential of higher doses of rifampicin, we compared the effect of high-dose rifampicin (40 mg/kg daily, RIF40) and standard-dose rifampicin (10 mg/kg daily, RIF10) on the activities of major cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes and P-glycoprotein (P-gp). In this open-label, single-arm, two-period, fixed-order phenotyping cocktail study, adult participants with pulmonary TB received RIF10 (days 1-15), followed by RIF40 (days 16-30). A single dose of selective substrates (probe drugs) was administered orally on days 15 and 30: caffeine (CYP1A2), tolbutamide (CYP2C9), omeprazole (CYP2C19), dextromethorphan (CYP2D6), midazolam (CYP3A), and digoxin (P-gp). Intensive pharmacokinetic blood sampling was performed over 24 hours after probe drug intake. In all, 25 participants completed the study. Geometric mean ratios (90% confidence interval) of the total exposure (area under the concentration versus time curve, RIF40 versus RIF10) for each of the probe drugs were as follows: caffeine, 105% (96%-115%); tolbutamide, 80% (74%-86%); omeprazole, 55% (47%-65%); dextromethorphan, 77% (68%-86%); midazolam, 62% (49%-78%), and 117% (105%-130%) for digoxin. In summary, high-dose rifampicin resulted in no additional effect on CYP1A2, mild additional induction of CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A, and marginal inhibition of P-gp. Existing recommendations on managing drug interactions with rifampicin can remain unchanged for the majority of co-administered drugs when using high-dose rifampicin. Clinical Trials registration number NCT04525235.

Licorice, the roots and rhizomes of Glycyrrhiza glabra L., has been used as a medicinal herb, herbal adjuvant, and flavoring agent since ancient times. Recently, licorice extracts have become popular as dietary supplements used by females to alleviate menopausal symptoms. Exposure to licorice products containing high levels of glycyrrhizic acid can cause hypokalemia, but independent from this effect, preclinical data indicate that licorice can inhibit certain cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes. To evaluate whether clinically relevant pharmacokinetic interactions of licorice with P450 enzymes exist, a phase 1 clinical investigation was carried out using a licorice extract depleted in glycyrrhizic acid (content <1%) and a cocktail containing caffeine, tolbutamide, alprazolam, and dextromethorphan, which are probe substrates for the enzymes CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP3A4/5, and CYP2D6, respectively. The botanically authenticated and chemically standardized extract of roots from G. glabra was consumed by 14 healthy menopausal and postmenopausal female participants twice daily for 2 weeks. The pharmacokinetics of each probe drug were evaluated immediately before and after supplementation with the licorice extract. Comparison of the average areas under the time-concentration curves (AUCs) for each probe substrate in serum showed no significant changes from licorice consumption, whereas time to reach peak concentration for caffeine and elimination half-life for tolbutamide showed small changes. According to the US Food and Drug Administration guidance, which is based on changes in the AUC of each probe substrate drug, the investigated licorice extract should not cause any clinically relevant pharmacokinetic interactions with respect to CYP3A4/5, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, or CYP1A2. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Despite generally-recognized-as-safe status, the licorice species Glycyrrhiza glabra has been associated with some toxicity. Preclinical studies suggest that G. glabra might cause pharmacokinetic drug interactions by inhibiting several cytochrome P450 enzymes. This phase 1 clinical study addressed these concerns by evaluating clinically relevant effects with respect to CYP3A4/5, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, and CYP1A2. These results showed that a standardized G. glabra extract did not cause any clinically relevant pharmacokinetic drug interactions with four major cytochrome P450 enzymes.

Since glucose stimulates protein biosynthesis in beta cells concomitantly with the stimulation of insulin release, the possible interaction of both processes was explored. The protein biosynthesis was inhibited by 10 µM cycloheximide (CHX) 60 min prior to the stimulation of perifused, freshly isolated or 22 h-cultured NMRI mouse islets. CHX reduced the insulinotropic effect of 25 mM glucose or 500 µM tolbutamide in fresh but not in cultured islets. In cultured islets the second phase of glucose stimulation was even enhanced. In fresh and in cultured islets CHX strongly reduced the content of proinsulin, but not of insulin, and moderately diminished the [Ca2+]i increase during stimulation. The oxygen consumption rate (OCR) of fresh islets was about 50% higher than that of cultured islets at basal glucose and was significantly increased by glucose but not tolbutamide. In fresh, but not in cultured, islets CHX diminished the glucose-induced OCR increase and changes in the NAD(P)H- and FAD-autofluorescence. It is concluded that short-term CHX exposure interferes with the signal function of the mitochondria, which have different working conditions in fresh and in cultured islets. The interference may not be an off-target effect but may result from the inhibited cytosolic synthesis of mitochondrial proteins.

Specific noncovalent drug-polymer interactions were analytically identified using Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy for amorphous solid dispersions (ASD) formed between either chlorpropamide or tolbutamide and polyvinylpyrrolidone vinyl acetate random copolymer (PVPVA). Spectral changes in the C-Cl stretching vibrations due to changes in the electronic environment of the Cl atom confirmed halogen bond formation in chlorpropamide-PVPVA ASDs, the extent of which was established to be inversely related to the concentration of the drug using 2D correlation spectroscopy analysis. Hydrogen bonding between the secondary amide of each drug and the pyrrolidone carbonyl of the copolymer was also confirmed in all dispersions. Implications of coexistent interactions were investigated for drug-polymer solubility, mixing free energy, and molecular mobility relative to tolbutamide, which only formed hydrogen bonds with PVPVA. Chlorpropamide had a higher solubility, a larger negative mixing free energy, and lower mobility in PVPVA relative to tolbutamide. These thermodynamic and kinetic differences demonstrate the significance of halogen bond formation even when hydrogen bonding is present.

PURPOSE: In this study, the drug-drug interaction potential of vatiquinone with cytochrome P450 (CYP) substrates was investigated in both in vitro and clinical studies. METHODS: The inhibitory potential of vatiquinone on the activity of CYPs 1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4/5 was assessed in vitro. In an open-label, drug-drug interaction study in 18 healthy human subjects, a single oral dose of 500 mg tolbutamide and 40 mg omeprazole was administered on day 1, followed by a washout of 7 days. Multiple oral doses of 400 mg vatiquinone (three times a day [TID]) were administered from day 8 to day 13 with coadministration of a single oral dose of 500 mg tolbutamide and 40 mg omeprazole on day 12. RESULTS: In vitro, vatiquinone inhibited CYP2C9 (IC50 = 3.7 µM) and CYP2C19 (IC50 = 5.4 µM). In the clinical study, coadministration of vatiquinone did not affect the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of tolbutamide and omeprazole. The 90% confidence intervals (CIs) of geometric least-square mean ratios for maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), areas under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC0-t), and AUC0-inf of tolbutamide and omeprazole were entirely contained within the 80 to 125% no effect limit, except a minor excursion observed for Cmax of omeprazole (geometric mean ratio [GMR], 94.09; 90% CI, 78.70-112.50). Vatiquinone was generally well tolerated, and no clinically significant findings were reported. CONCLUSION: The in vitro and clinical studies demonstrated vatiquinone has a low potential to affect the pharmacokinetics of concomitantly administered medications that are metabolized by CYP enzymes.

The Cocktail probe drug method was used to evaluate the effect of Laportea bulbifera extract on the different subtypes of CYP450 enzyme activities in rats, and to provide references for its clinical rational drug use. The rats were randomly divided into a high-dose L. bulbifera group(0.45 g·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)) and a low-dose L. bulbifera group(0.09 g·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)). After continuous gavage for 7 and 14 days, the Cocktail probe mixing solution, including caffeine, midazolam, tolbutamide, omeprazole, metoprolol, and chlorzoxazone, was injected into the tail vein, and the blood sample was obtained from the tail vein at different time points. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS) was established to determine the concentration of six probe drugs in rat plasma. DAS 2.0 was used to calculate its pharmacokinetic parameters, and the effect of L. bulbifera extract on CYP1 A2, CYP2 C9, CYP2 C19, CYP2 D6, CYP2 E1, and CYP3 A4 in rats was investigated. As compared with the blank control group, under the omeprazole index, the AUC_(0-t) and AUC_(0-∞) of the 7-day administration groups and the 14-day high-dose group were significantly decreased, and the CLz and Vz were significantly increased. Under the midazolam index, the AUC_(0-t) and AUC_(0-∞) of the 7-day low-dose group and the 14-day administration group were significantly decreased, and the CLz was significantly increased. In addition, the AUC_(0-∞) of the 7-day high-dose group was also significantly decreased. Under the index of metoprolol, the AUC_(0-t) and AUC_(0-∞) of each experimental group were decreased significantly, and the CLz and Vz of the 7-day low-dose group and the 14-day low-dose group were increased significantly. Under the caffeine index, the AUC_(0-t) and AUC_(0-∞) of the 7-day administration groups were increased significantly, the CLz was decreased significantly, and the t_(1/2 z) of the 14-day high-dose group was increased significantly. Under the chlorzoxazone index, the AUC_(0-t) and AUC_(0-∞) of the 7-day low-dose group were increased significantly, and the CLz was decreased significantly. Under the tolbutamide index, there was no statistical difference in the pharmacokinetic parameters. In conclusion, L. bulbifera extract induces the activities of CYP2 C19, CYP3 A4, and CYP2 D6, inhibits the activities of CYP1 A2 and CYP2 E1, and does not affect the activity of CYP2 C9.

Responding to concerns about the potential for increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes, specifically myocardial infarction, associated with certain glucose-lowering therapies, the US Food and Drug Administration and the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the European Medicines Agency issued guidance to the pharmaceutical industry in 2008. Glucose-lowering therapies were granted regulatory approval primarily from smaller studies that have demonstrated reductions in glycated hemoglobin concentration. Such studies were overall underpowered and of insufficient duration to show any effect on cardiovascular outcomes. The 2008 guidance aimed to ensure the cardiovascular safety of new glucose-lowering therapies to treat patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This resulted in a plethora of new cardiovascular outcome trials, most designed primarily as placebo-controlled noninferiority trials, but with many also powered for superiority. Several of these outcome trials demonstrated cardiovascular benefits of the newer agents, resulting in the first-ever cardiovascular protection indications for glucose-lowering therapies. Determining whether the guidance continues to have value in its current form is critically important as we move forward after the first decade of implementation. In February 2018, a think tank comprising representatives from academia, industry, and regulatory agencies convened to consider the guidance in light of the findings of the completed cardiovascular outcome trials. The group made several recommendations for future regulatory guidance and for cardiovascular outcome trials of glucose-lowering therapies. These recommendations include requiring only the 1.3 noninferiority margin for regulatory approval, conducting trials for longer durations, considering studying glucose-lowering therapies as first-line management of type 2 diabetes mellitus, considering heart failure or kidney outcomes within the primary outcome, considering head-to-head active comparator trials, increasing the diversity of patients enrolled, evaluating strategies to streamline registries and the study of unselected populations, and identifying ways to improve translation of trial results to general practice.

Tolbutamide is an oral anti-hyperglycaemic agent used to treat non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus with species-dependent metabolic profiles. In this study, we investigated tolbutamide metabolism in chimeric TK-NOG mice transplanted with human hepatocytes (humanised-liver mice).Substantial 4-hydroxytolbutamide and 4-carboxytolbutamide production was observed in hepatocytes from humanised-liver mice (Hu-Liver cells) and humans, whereas 4-carboxytolbutamide production was not detected in mouse hepatocytes. In Hu-Liver cells, 4-hydroxytolbutamide formation was inhibited by sulfaphenazole (CYP2C9 inhibitor), whereas 4-carboxytolbutamide formation was inhibited by raloxifene/ethinyloestradiol (aldehyde oxidase inhibitor) and disulfiram (aldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitor).After a single oral dose of tolbutamide (10 mg/kg), the plasma levels of 4-carboxytolbutamide and p-tolylsulfonylurea were higher in humanised-liver mice than in TK-NOG mice. Urinary excretion was the predominant route (>99% of unchanged drug and metabolites detected in excreta) of elimination in both groups. 4-Carboxytolbutamide was the most abundant metabolite in humanised-liver mouse urine, as similarly reported for humans, whereas 4-hydroxytolbutamide was predominantly excreted in TK-NOG mouse urine.These results suggest that humanised-liver mice might represent a suitable animal model for studying the successive oxidative metabolism of tolbutamide by multiple drug-metabolising enzymes. Future work is warranted to study the general nature of primary alcohol metabolism using humanised-liver mice.

The objectives of this study were as follows: 1) to compare the metabolic activities of endogenous compounds and their effects on dopamine formation and hydroxylation of steroid hormones, mediated by human cytochrome P450 (CYP), including CYP2C9.1 and CYP2C19, as well as the variants CYP2C9.2 (Arg144Cys) and CYP2C9.3 (Ile359Leu); and 2) to assess the effects of steroid hormones on the activities of CYP2C9.1, CYP2C9.2, and CYP2C19 to estimate the contribution of the CYP2C subfamily to metabolism and drug-drug interactions of endogenous compounds. Dopamine formation from p -tyramine and 6ß- and 21- (for progesterone) hydroxylation of testosterone, cortisol, and progesterone by CYP2C9 variants, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4 were determined using HPLC. The effects of steroid hormones such as testosterone, cortisol, and progesterone on tolbutamide methyl hydroxylation mediated by CYP2C subfamily members were investigated. Only CYP2D6 catalyzed dopamine formation. The 6ß-hydroxylation activities of testosterone, cortisol, and progesterone catalyzed by CYP2C9 variants and CYP2D6 were less than 5% of those by CYP3A4. Although cortisol did not inhibit tolbutamide methyl hydroxylation catalyzed by CYP2C9.1, CYP2C9.2, or CYP2C19 and testosterone did not inhibit CYP2C19 activity, the reactions catalyzed by CY2C9.1 and CYP2C9.2 were inhibited by testosterone. The inhibition of progesterone by CYP2C19 was stronger than that by CYP2C9.1 and CYP2C9.2. CYP2C9.1 and CYP2C19 noncompetitively and competitively inhibited tolbutamide methyl hydroxylation with inhibition constants of 43.2 µM and 1.03 µM, respectively. Clinical interactions among endogenous compounds would vary within the CYP2C subfamily, although the contribution of the CYP2C subfamily may be of minor importance for dopamine formation and the detoxification (6ß-hydroxylation) of endogenous steroid hormones.

Natural products embedded crown ethers were prepared by utilizing bioactive natural products including chrysin, tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ), and biochanin-A. The prepared crown ether scaffolds were evaluated and compared with their natural product precursors for insulin secretory activity on isolated mice islets and for their fluorescent properties. All the crown adducts were found more active as compared to their natural product precursors. Bischrysin 32-crown-10 (6d), THIQ 15-Crown-5 (6a) and chrysin 16-crown-5 (6c) showed mild, moderate and strong insulin secretory activity, respectively when compared with the standard drug tolbutamide (TB). Particularly crown derivative 6c showed strong activity (31.10 ng/islet/h) that is almost two (02) fold higher than that of standard drug TB (16.82 ng/islet/h). To the best of our knowledge crown ethers based antidiabetic study is being reported for the first time in literature through this work. Furthermore, fluorescence study showed the significant increase in absorption and emission maximum (hypsochromic effect) in crown structures when compared with their natural product precursors. Present optimistic results obtained from this study may be a guided template for developing new effective insulin secretory agents.

Insulin pulsatility is important to hepatic response in regulating blood glucose. Growing evidence suggests that insulin-secreting pancreatic ß-cells can adapt to chronic disruptions of pulsatility to rescue this physiologically important behavior. We determined the time scale for adaptation and examined potential ion channels underlying it. We induced the adaptation both by chronic application of the ATP-sensitive K+ [K(ATP)] channel blocker tolbutamide and by application of the depolarizing agent potassium chloride (KCl). Acute application of tolbutamide without pretreatment results in elevated Ca2+ as measured by fura-2AM and the loss of endogenous pulsatility. We show that after chronic exposure to tolbutamide (12-24 h), Ca2+ oscillations occur with subsequent acute tolbutamide application. The same experiment was conducted with potassium chloride (KCl) to directly depolarize the ß-cells. Once again, following chronic exposure to the cell stimulator, the islets produced Ca2+ oscillations when subsequently exposed to tolbutamide. These experiments suggest that it is the chronic stimulation, and not tolbutamide desensitization, that is responsible for the adaptation that rescues oscillatory ß-cell activity. This compensatory response also causes islet glucose sensitivity to shift rightward following chronic tolbutamide treatment. Mathematical modeling shows that a small increase in the number of K(ATP) channels in the membrane is one adaptation mechanism that is compatible with the data. To examine other compensatory mechanisms, pharmacological studies provide support that Kir2.1 and TEA-sensitive channels play some role. Overall, this investigation demonstrates ß-cell adaptability to overstimulation, which is likely an important mechanism for maintaining glucose homeostasis in the face of chronic stimulation.

Binding strength of the anti-diabetic drugs chlorpropamide (CPM) and tolbutamide (TBM) with model protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) shows strong modulation in presence of colloidal gold nanoparticles (AuNP). Intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence of both the native BSA and BSA-AuNP conjugate quenched in presence of the drugs. Stern-Volmer quenching constant (KSV) of CPM binding to BSA-AuNP conjugate at different temperatures is almost twice (6.76~14.76 × 103 M-1) than the corresponding values in native BSA (3.21~5.72 × 103 M-1). However, the calculated KSV values with TBM show certain degree of reduction in presence of AuNP (6.46× 103 M-1), while comparing with native BSA (8.83 × 103 M-1). The binding mode of CPM towards BSA-AuNP conjugate is mainly through hydrophobic forces; whereas, TBM binding is identified to be Van der Waal's and hydrogen bonding type of interaction. Fluorescence lifetime analysis confirms static type of quenching for the intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence of BSA as well as BSA-AuNP conjugate with addition of CPM and TBM at different concentrations. The α-helical content in the secondary structure of BSA is decreased to 48.32% and 45. 28% in presence of AuNP, when the concentration of CPM is 0.08 mM and 0.16 mM in comparison with that of native protein (50.13%). On the other hand, the intensity of sugar induced advanced glycated end (AGE) product fluorescence is decreased by 55% and 80% at 0.13 nM and 0.68 nM AuNP, respectively. Change in the binding strength of the drugs with transport protein and reduced AGE product formation in presence of AuNP could lead to a major development in the field of nanomedicine and associated drug delivery techniques. Graphical Abstract Modulated drug binding ability and AGE product formation of serum proteins in presence of AuNP.

The effective concentration of a drug in the blood, i.e. the concentration of a free drug in the blood, is influenced by the strength of drug binding onto plasma proteins. Besides its efficacy, these interactions subsequently influence the liberation, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicological properties of the drug. It is important to not only determine the binding strength and stoichiometry, but also the binding site of a drug on the plasma protein molecule, because the co-administration of drugs with the same binding site can affect the above-mentioned concentration and as a result the pharmacological behavior of the drugs and lead to side effects caused by the change in free drug concentration, its toxicity. In this study, the binding characteristics of six drugs with human serum albumin, the most abundant protein in human plasma, were determined by capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis, and the obtained values of binding parameters were compared with the literature data. The effect of several drugs and site markers on the binding of l-tryptophan and lidocaine to human serum albumin was investigated in subsequent displacement studies which thus demonstrated the usability of capillary electrophoresis as an automated high-throughput screening method for drug-protein binding studies.

PURPOSE: Rolapitant is a neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist indicated in combination with other antiemetic agents in adults for the prevention of delayed chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. We evaluated the effects of rolapitant oral on the pharmacokinetics of probe substrates for cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 (dextromethorphan), 2C9 (tolbutamide), 2C19 (omeprazole), 2B6 (efavirenz), and 2C8 (repaglinide) in healthy subjects. METHODS: This open-label, multipart, randomized, phase 1 study assessed cohorts of 20-26 healthy subjects administered dextromethorphan, tolbutamide plus omeprazole, efavirenz, or repaglinide with and without single, oral doses of rolapitant. Maximum plasma analyte concentrations (Cmax) and area under the plasma analyte concentration-time curves (AUC) were estimated using noncompartmental analysis, and geometric mean ratios (GMRs) and 90% confidence intervals for the ratios of test (rolapitant plus probe substrate) to reference (probe substrate alone) treatment were calculated. RESULTS: Rolapitant significantly increased the systemic exposure of dextromethorphan in terms of Cmax and AUC0-inf by 2.2- to 3.3-fold as observed in GMRs on days 7 and 14. Rolapitant did not affect systemic exposure of tolbutamide, and minor excursions outside of the 80-125% no effect limits were detected for omeprazole, efavirenz, and repaglinide. CONCLUSIONS: Inhibition of dextromethorphan by a single oral dose of rolapitant 180 mg is clinically significant and can last at least 7 days. No clinically significant interaction was observed between rolapitant and substrates of CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2B6, or CYP2C8. CYP2D6 substrate drugs with a narrow therapeutic index may require monitoring for adverse reactions if given concomitantly with rolapitant.

Shuanghuanglian Injection (SHLI), one of the most popular herbal prescription in China, has been commonly used to treat pneumonia, tonsillitis, and other respiratory diseases caused by bacterium and virus. This study is to investigate the effects of SHLI on the activities of Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2, 2C11, 2D1 and 3A1/2 in rats. Sixteen rats were randomly divided into two groups (SHLI-treated and blank control). They were administered SHLI or physiological saline for consecutive seven days. On day eight, 16 animals were administrated cocktail drugs as probe substrates of the four CYP in vivo. In addition, other four probe drugs were added, respectively, into incubation systems of rat liver microsomes (RLM) to assess the effects of SHLI on the four CYP isoforms in vitro. SHLI exhibited an inductive effect on CYP2C11 in vivo by decreasing Cmax, t1/2 and AUC0-∞ of tolbutamide, while the main pharmacokinetic parameters of caffeine, metoprolol and dapsone have no significant changes. In vitro study, SHLI showed no significant effects on the activities of CYP1A2, 2D1 and 3A1/2, but increasing the metabolism of tolbutamide in RLM. SHLI induced the activities of CYP2C11, but had no significant effects on the activities of CYP1A2, CYP2D1 and CYP3A1/2 in rats.

1. The objective of our study was to develop and validate a cocktail approach to allow the simultaneous characterization of various CYP450-mediated oxidations by human heart microsomes for nine probe drug substrates, namely, 7-ethoxyresorufin, bupropion, repaglinide, tolbutamide, bufuralol, chlorzoxazone, ebastine, midazolam and dodecanoic acid. 2. The first validation step was conducted using recombinant human CYP450 isoenzymes by comparing activity measured for each probe drug as a function of (1) buffer used, (2) selectivity towards specific isoenzymes and (3) drug interactions between probes. Activity was all measured by validated LC-MSMS methods. 3. Two cocktails were then constituted with seven of the nine drugs and subjected to kinetic validation. Finally, all probe drugs were incubated with human heart microsomes prepared from ventricular tissues obtained from 12 patients undergoing cardiac transplantation. 4. Validated cocktail #1 including bupropion, chlorzoxazone, ebastine and midazolam was used to characterize CYP2B6-, 2E1-, 2J2- and 3A5-mediated metabolism in human hearts. 5. Cocktail #2 which includes bufuralol, 7-ethoxyresorufin and repaglinide failed the validation step. Substrates in cocktail #2 as well as tolbutamide and dodecanoic acid had to be incubated separately because of their physico-chemical characteristics (solubility and ionization) or drug interactions. 6. Activity in HHM was the highest towards ebastine, chlorzoxazone and tolbutamide.

Contributions of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) isoforms to drug metabolism are often predicted using relative activity factor (RAF) method, assuming RAF values were independent of probe. We aimed to report probe-dependent characteristic of RAF values using CYP3A4 or CYP2C9 probes. Metabolism of four CYP3A4 probes (testosterone, midazolam, verapamil and atorvastatin) and three CYP2C9 probes (tolbutamide, diclofenac and S-warfarin) in human liver microsomes (HLM) and cDNA-expressed recombinant CYP450 (Rec-CYP450) systems were characterized and RAFCL value was estimated as ratio of probe intrinsic clearance in HLM to that in Rec-CYP450. CYP450i contributions to metabolic reaction of a probe were predicted using other probes and compared with data from specific inhibitions. Contributions of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 to metabolism of deoxypodophyllotoxin and nateglinide were also predicted. RAF values were dependent on probes, leading to probe-dependently predicted contributions. Predicted contributions of CYP3A4 to formations of 6ß-hydroxytestosterone, 1'-hydroxymidazolam, norverapamil, ortho-hydroxyatorvastatin and para-hydroxyatorvastatin using other probes were 47.46-219.46%, 21.62-98.87%, 186.49-462.44%, 21.87-101.15% and 53.62-247.97%, respectively. Predicted contributions of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 to nateglinide metabolism were 8.18-37.84% and 36.08-94.04%, separately. In conclusion, CYP450i contribution to drug metabolism in HLM estimated using RAF approach were probe-dependent. Therefore, contribution of each isoform must be confirmed by multiple probes.

The study examined the effect of doxorubicin (DOX) on the hepatic expression of CYP2C and its activity for metabolizing tolbutamide (TB), a specific CYP2C substrate, in rats and whether the pharmacokinetics of tolbutamide were altered by doxorubicin exposure. The expression level of hepatic CYP2C11 was depressed 1 day after doxorubicin administration (day 1), and this effect on CYP2C11 was augmented on day 4. However, the expression level of hepatic CYP2C6 remained unchanged. The activity of tolbutamide 4-hydroxylation in hepatic microsomes was decreased with time following doxorubicin administration. Regarding the enzyme kinetic parameters for tolbutamide 4-hydroxylation on day 4, the maximum velocity (Vmax ) was significantly lower in the DOX group than that in the control group, while the Michaelis constant (Km ) was unaffected. On pharmacokinetic examination, the total clearance (CLtot ) of tolbutamide on day 4 was increased, despite the decreased metabolic capacity. On the other hand, the serum unbound fraction (fu ) of tolbutamide was elevated with a reduced serum albumin concentration in the DOX group. Contrary to CLtot , CLtot /fu , a parameter approximated to the hepatic intrinsic clearance of unbound tolbutamide, was estimated to be significantly reduced in the DOX group. These findings indicate that the metabolic capacity of CYP2C11 in the liver is depressed time-dependently by down-regulation after doxorubicin exposure in rats, and that the decreased enzyme activity of TB 4-hydroxylation in hepatic microsomes reflects the pharmacokinetic change of unbound tolbutamide, not total tolbutamide, in serum.
