ABSTRACT
ASP8477 (molecular weight 325.36 g/mol) is a fatty acid amide hydrolase inhibitor intended for the treatment of neuropathic pain. Results from in vitro studies indicated that ASP8477 is a direct inhibitor of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4 enzymes at expected efficacious concentrations, with the strongest effect on CYP2C19; a phase 1 study confirmed ASP8477 to be a CYP2C19 inhibitor. To further evaluate the interaction potential of ASP8477, a cocktail interaction study was performed using the probe substrates of the validated Inje cocktail containing losartan (CYP2C9), omeprazole (CYP2C19), dextromethorphan (CYP2D6), and midazolam (CYP3A4). Because ASP8477 shows nonlinear pharmacokinetics, 3 doses (20, 60, and 100 mg) were evaluated. This study revealed changes in exposure (area under the concentration-time curve) of the probe substrates after treatment with 20, 60, and 100 mg ASP8477, respectively, compared with substrates alone with geometric mean ratios of midazolam, 119%, 151%, and 158%; losartan, 107%, 144%, and 190%; omeprazole, 213%, 456%, and 610%; and dextromethorphan, 138%, 340%, and 555% (with increasing doses, respectively). Overall, ASP8477 was a weak inhibitor for CYP3A4 and CYP2C9, a moderate to strong inhibitor for CYP2C19, and a weak to strong inhibitor for CYP2D6, with doses from 20 to 100 mg. This study confirmed that the Inje cocktail approach was able to detect relevant drug-drug interactions impacting further development of ASP8477 and future therapeutic use. With the approach used here, the inhibiting effect of a perpetrator drug on different CYP enzymes can be evaluated, and at different doses, thereby supporting dose recommendations for potential interactions.
