RESUMO
Tropifexor (NVP-LJN452) is a highly potent, selective, nonsteroidal, non-bile acid farnesoid X receptor agonist for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Its absorption, metabolism, and excretion were studied after a 1-mg oral dose of [14C]tropifexor was given to four healthy male subjects. Mass balance was achieved with â¼94% of the administered dose recovered in excreta through a 312-hour collection period. Fecal excretion of tropifexor-related radioactivity played a major role (â¼65% of the total dose). Tropifexor reached a maximum blood concentration (Cmax) of 33.5 ng/ml with a median time to reach Cmax of 4 hours and was eliminated with a plasma elimination half-life of 13.5 hours. Unchanged tropifexor was the principal drug-related component found in plasma (â¼92% of total radioactivity). Two minor oxidative metabolites, M11.6 and M22.4, were observed in circulation. Tropifexor was eliminated predominantly via metabolism with >68% of the dose recovered as metabolites in excreta. Oxidative metabolism appeared to be the major clearance pathway of tropifexor. Metabolites containing multiple oxidative modifications and combined oxidation and glucuronidation were also observed in human excreta. The involvement of direct glucuronidation could not be ruled out based on previous in vitro and nonclinical in vivo studies indicating its contribution to tropifexor clearance. The relative contribution of the oxidation and glucuronidation pathways appeared to be dose-dependent upon further in vitro investigation. Because of these complexities and the instability of glucuronide metabolites in the gastrointestinal tract, the contribution of glucuronidation remained undefined in this study. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Tropifexor was found to be primarily cleared from the human body via oxidative metabolism. In vitro metabolism experiments revealed that the relative contribution of oxidation and glucuronidation was concentration-dependent, with glucuronidation as the predominant pathway at higher concentrations and the oxidative process becoming more important at lower concentrations near clinical exposure range. The body of work demonstrated the importance of carefully designed in vivo and in vitro experiments for better understanding of disposition processes during drug development.

The 2016 World Health Organization treatment recommendations for drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) positioned clofazimine as a core second-line drug. Being identified as a cytochrome P450 (P450) inhibitor in vitro, a P450-mediated drug interaction may be likely when clofazimine is coadministered with substrates of these enzymes. The P450-mediated drug interaction potential of clofazimine was evaluated using both static [estimation of the R1 and area under the plasma concentration-time curve ratio (AUCR) values] and dynamic [physiologically based pharmacokinetics (PBPK)] modeling approaches. For static and dynamic predictions, midazolam, repaglinide, and desipramine were used as probe substrates for CYP3A4/5, CYP2C8, and CYP2D6, respectively. The AUCR static model estimations for clofazimine with the substrates midazolam, repaglinide, and desipramine were 5.59, 1.34, and 1.69, respectively. The fold increases in the area under the curve (AUC) predicted for midazolam, repaglinide, and desipramine with clofazimine (based on PBPK modeling) were 2.69, 1.60, and 1.47, respectively. Clofazimine was predicted to be a moderate-to-strong CYP3A4/5 inhibitor and weak CYP2C8 and CYP2D6 inhibitor based on the calculated AUCR by static and PBPK modeling. Additionally, for selected antiretroviral, antitubercular, antihypertensive, antidiabetic, antileprotics, and antihyperlipidemic CYP3A4/5 substrate drugs, approximately 2- to 6-fold increases in the AUC were predicted with static modeling when coadministered with 100 mg of clofazimine. Therefore, the possibility of an increase in the AUC of CYP3A4/5 substrates when coadministered with clofazimine cannot be ignored.

Midostaurin (PKC412) is being investigated for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and advanced systemic mastocytosis (advSM). It is extensively metabolized by CYP3A4 to form two major active metabolites, CGP52421 and CGP62221. In vitro and clinical drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies indicated that midostaurin and its metabolites are substrates, reversible and time-dependent inhibitors, and inducers of CYP3A4. A simultaneous pharmacokinetic model of parent and active metabolites was initially developed by incorporating data from in vitro, preclinical, and clinical pharmacokinetic studies in healthy volunteers and in patients with AML or advSM. The model reasonably predicted changes in midostaurin exposure after single-dose administration with ketoconazole (a 5.8-fold predicted versus 6.1-fold observed increase) and rifampicin (90% predicted versus 94% observed reduction) as well as changes in midazolam exposure (1.0 predicted versus 1.2 observed ratio) after daily dosing of midostaurin for 4 days. The qualified model was then applied to predict the DDI effect with other CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers and the DDI potential with midazolam under steady-state conditions. The simulated midazolam area under the curve ratio of 0.54 and an accompanying observed 1.9-fold increase in the CYP3A4 activity of biomarker 4ß-hydroxycholesterol indicated a weak-to-moderate CYP3A4 induction by midostaurin and its metabolites at steady state in patients with advSM. In conclusion, a simultaneous parent-and-active-metabolite modeling approach allowed predictions under steady-state conditions that were not possible to achieve in healthy subjects. Furthermore, endogenous biomarker data enabled evaluation of the net effect of midostaurin and its metabolites on CYP3A4 activity at steady state and increased confidence in DDI predictions.

The absorption, metabolism, and excretion of midostaurin, a potent class III tyrosine protein kinase inhibitor for acute myelogenous leukemia, were evaluated in healthy subjects. A microemulsion formulation was chosen to optimize absorption. After a 50-mg [14C]midostaurin dose, oral absorption was high (>90%) and relatively rapid. In plasma, the major circulating components were midostaurin (22%), CGP52421 (32.7%), and CGP62221 (27.7%). Long plasma half-lives were observed for midostaurin (20.3 hours), CGP52421 (495 hours), and CGP62221 (33.4 hours). Through careful mass-balance study design, the recovery achieved was good (81.6%), despite the long radioactivity half-lives. Most of the radioactive dose was recovered in feces (77.6%) mainly as metabolites, because only 3.43% was unchanged, suggesting mainly hepatic metabolism. Renal elimination was minor (4%). Midostaurin metabolism pathways involved hydroxylation, O-demethylation, amide hydrolysis, and N-demethylation. High plasma CGP52421 and CGP62221 exposures in humans, along with relatively potent cell-based IC50 for FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3-internal tandem duplications inhibition, suggested that the antileukemic activity in AML patients may also be maintained by the metabolites. Very high plasma protein binding (>99%) required equilibrium gel filtration to identify differences between humans and animals. Because midostaurin, CGP52421, and CGP62221 are metabolized mainly by CYP3A4 and are inhibitors/inducers for CYP3A, potential drug-drug interactions with mainly CYP3A4 modulators/CYP3A substrates could be expected. Given its low aqueous solubility, high oral absorption and extensive metabolism (>90%), midostaurin is a Biopharmaceutics Classification System/Biopharmaceutics Drug Disposition Classification System (BDDCS) class II drug in human, consistent with rat BDDCS in vivo data showing high absorption (>90%) and extensive metabolism (>90%).

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.

Nucleoside or nucleotide inhibitors are a highly successful class of antivirals due to selectivity, potency, broad coverage, and high barrier to resistance. Nucleosides are the backbone of combination treatments for HIV, hepatitis B virus, and, since the FDA approval of sofosbuvir in 2013, also for hepatitis C virus (HCV). However, many promising nucleotide inhibitors have advanced to clinical trials only to be terminated due to unexpected toxicity. Here we describe the in vitro pharmacology of compound 1, a monophosphate prodrug of a 2'-ethynyluridine developed for the treatment of HCV. Compound 1 inhibits multiple HCV genotypes in vitro (50% effective concentration [EC50], 0.05 to 0.1 µM) with a selectivity index of >300 (50% cytotoxic concentration [CC50], 30 µM in MT-4 cells). The active triphosphate metabolite of compound 1, compound 2, does not inhibit human α, ß, or γ DNA polymerases but was a substrate for incorporation by the human mitochondrial RNA polymerase (POLRMT). In dog, the oral administration of compound 1 resulted in elevated serum liver enzymes and microscopic changes in the liver. Transmission electron microscopy showed significant mitochondrial swelling and lipid accumulation in hepatocytes. Gene expression analysis revealed dose-proportional gene signature changes linked to loss of hepatic function and increased mitochondrial dysfunction. The potential of in vivo toxicity through mitochondrial polymerase incorporation by nucleoside analogs has been previously shown. This study shows that even moderate levels of nucleotide analog incorporation by POLRMT increase the risk of in vivo mitochondrial dysfunction. Based on these results, further development of compound 1 as an anti-HCV compound was terminated.

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.

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.

PURPOSE: Midostaurin, approved for FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia and advanced systemic mastocytosis, is mainly metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4. Midostaurin exhibited potential inhibitory effects on P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), organic anion-transporting polyprotein 1B1, and CYP2D6 in in vitro studies. This study investigated the pharmacokinetic (PK) effects of midostaurin on P-gp (digoxin), BCRP (rosuvastatin) and CYP2D6 (dextromethorphan) substrates in healthy adults. METHODS: This was an open-label, single-sequence, phase I clinical study evaluating the effect of single-dose midostaurin (100 mg) on the PK of digoxin and rosuvastatin (Arm 1), and dextromethorphan (Arm 2). Participants were followed up for safety 30 days after last dose. In addition, the effect of midostaurin on the PK of dextromethorphan metabolite (dextrorphan) was assessed in participants with functional CYP2D6 genes in Arm 2. RESULTS: The effect of midostaurin on digoxin was minor and resulted in total exposure (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) that were only 20% higher. The effect on rosuvastatin was mild and led to an increase in AUCs of approximately 37-48% and of 100% in Cmax. There was no increase in the primary PK parameters (AUCs and Cmax) of dextromethorphan in the presence of midostaurin. The study treatments were very well tolerated with no occurance of severe adverse events (AEs), AEs of grade ≥ 2, or deaths. CONCLUSION: Midostaurin showed only a minor inhibitory effect on P-gp, a mild inhibitory effect on BCRP, and no inhibitory effect on CYP2D6. Study treatments were well tolerated in healthy adults.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: Midostaurin, approved for treating FLT-3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia and advanced systemic mastocytosis, is metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 to two major metabolites, and may inhibit and/or induce CYP3A, CYP2B6, and CYP2C8. Two studies investigated the impact of midostaurin on CYP substrate drugs and oral contraceptives in healthy participants. METHODS: Using sentinel dosing for participants' safety, the effects of midostaurin at steady state following 25-day (Study 1) or 24-day (Study 2) dosing with 50 mg twice daily were evaluated on CYP substrates, midazolam (CYP3A4), bupropion (CYP2B6), and pioglitazone (CYP2C8) in Study 1; and monophasic oral contraceptives (containing ethinylestradiol [EES] and levonorgestrel [LVG]) in Study 2. RESULTS: In Study 1, midostaurin resulted in a 10% increase in midazolam peak plasma concentrations (Cmax), and 3-4% decrease in total exposures (AUC). Bupropion showed a 55% decrease in Cmax and 48-49% decrease in AUCs. Pioglitazone showed a 10% decrease in Cmax and 6% decrease in AUC. In Study 2, midostaurin resulted in a 26% increase in Cmax and 7-10% increase in AUC of EES; and a 19% increase in Cmax and 29-42% increase in AUC of LVG. Midostaurin 50 mg twice daily for 28 days ensured that steady-state concentrations of midostaurin and the active metabolites were achieved by the time of CYP substrate drugs or oral contraceptive dosing. No safety concerns were reported. CONCLUSION: Midostaurin neither inhibits nor induces CYP3A4 and CYP2C8, and weakly induces CYP2B6. Midostaurin at steady state has no clinically relevant PK interaction on hormonal contraceptives. All treatments were well tolerated.

We recently reported that (2R,3R,4R,5R)-2-(4-amino-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-yl)-3-ethynyl-5-hydroxy-methyl-tetrahydro-furan-3,4-diol is a potent inhibitor of dengue virus (DENV), with 50% effective concentration (EC(50)) and cytotoxic concentration (CC(50)) values of 0.7 microM and >100 microM, respectively. Here we describe the synthesis, structure-activity relationship, and antiviral characterization of the inhibitor. In an AG129 mouse model, a single-dose treatment of DENV-infected mice with the compound suppressed peak viremia and completely prevented death. Mode-of-action analysis using a DENV replicon indicated that the compound blocks viral RNA synthesis. Recombinant adenosine kinase could convert the compound to a monophosphate form. Suppression of host adenosine kinase, using a specific inhibitor (iodotubercidin) or small interfering RNA (siRNA), abolished or reduced the compound's antiviral activity in cell culture. Studies of rats showed that (14)C-labeled compound was converted to mono-, di-, and triphosphate metabolites in vivo. Collectively, the results suggest that this adenosine inhibitor is phosphorylated to an active (triphosphate) form which functions as a chain terminator for viral RNA synthesis.

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.

BACKGROUND: For estimation of fractions metabolized (fm) by different hepatic recombinant human CYP enzymes (rhCYP), calculation of inter-system extrapolation factors (ISEFs) has been proposed. METHODS: ISEF values for CYP1A2, CYP2C19 and CYP3A4/5 were measured. A CYP2C9 ISEF was taken from a previous report. Using a set of compounds, fractions metabolized by CYP enzymes (fm,CYP) values calculated with the ISEFs based on rhCYP data were compared with those from the chemical inhibition data. Oral pharmacokinetics (PK) profiles of midazolam were simulated using the physiologically based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) model with the CYP3A ISEF. For other CYPs, the in vitro fm,CYP values were compared with the reference fm,CYP data back-calculated with, e.g. modeling of test substrates by feeding clinical PK data. RESULTS: In vitro-in vitro fm,CYP3A4 relationship between the results from rhCYP incubation and chemical inhibition was drawn as an exponential correlation with R2=0.974. A midazolam PBPK model with the CYP3A4/5 ISEFs simulated the PK profiles within twofold error compared to the clinical observations. In a limited number of cases, the in vitro methods could not show good performance in predicting fm,CYP1A2, fm,CYP2C9 and fm,CYP2C19 values as reference data. CONCLUSIONS: The rhCYP data with the measured ISEFs provided reasonable calculation of fm,CYP3A4 values, showing slight over-estimation compared to chemical inhibition.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Osilodrostat (LCI699) is an adrenal steroidogenesis inhibitor currently in late-phase clinical development as a potential treatment for Cushing's disease. This study evaluated the inhibitory effect of osilodrostat on the pharmacokinetics of probe substrates of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4. METHODS: Healthy adult volunteers received single-dose cocktail probe substrates [caffeine (100 mg), omeprazole (20 mg), dextromethorphan (30 mg), and midazolam (2 mg)] followed by a 6-day washout. Subjects then received a single dose of osilodrostat 50 mg followed by a single dose of cocktail probe substrates. RESULTS: Nineteen of twenty subjects (ten were male) completed the study. Mean age, body weight, and body mass index were 41.8 years, 73.0 kg, and 24.4 kg/m2. Geometric mean ratio of the area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to the last measureable concentration and 90% confidence intervals of probe substrate exposure with osilodrostat were: caffeine (CYP1A2 probe substrate), 2.33 (2.10-2.59); omeprazole (CYP2C19), 1.91 (1.74-2.11); dextromethorphan (CYP2D6), 1.48 (1.34-1.63); and midazolam (CYP3A4/5), 1.50 (1.41-1.60). Corresponding values for geometric mean ratio of maximum plasma concentration (90% confidence interval) for the change in substrate exposure were 1.07 (0.988-1.15), 1.61 (1.40-1.84), 1.35 (1.21-1.50), and 1.47 (1.32-1.62). CONCLUSIONS: Osilodrostat is a moderate inhibitor of CYP1A2 and CYP2C19 and a weak inhibitor of CYP2D6 and the most clinically important CYP enzyme, CYP3A4. Osilodrostat is unlikely to significantly increase the exposures of other medications cleared by CYP3A4. These findings are clinically relevant given that Cushing's disease is a chronic condition often requiring multiple medications and that most other therapies have significant drug interaction potential.

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.

Tumor cells can evade programmed cell death via up-regulation of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs). LCL161 is a small molecule oral IAP antagonist in development for use in combination with cytotoxic agents. The effect of LCL161 on CYP3A4/5 (CYP3A) activity was investigated in vitro and in a clinical study. Results in human liver microsomes indicated LCL161 inhibited CYP3A in a concentration- and time-dependent manner (KI of 0.797 µM and kinact of 0.0803 min(-1) ). LCL161 activated human PXR in a reporter gene assay and induced CYP3A4 mRNA up to â¼5-fold in human hepatocytes. In healthy subjects, the dual inhibitor and inductive effects of a single dose of LCL161 were characterized using single midazolam doses, given before and at three time points after the LCL161 dose. Midazolam Cmax increased 3.22-fold and AUC(0-inf) increased 9.32-fold when administered four hours after LCL161. Three days later, midazolam Cmax decreased by 27% and AUC(0-inf) decreased by 30%. No drug interaction remained one week later. The strong CYP3A inhibition by LCL161 was accurately predicted using dynamic physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling approaches in Simcyp. However, the observed induction effect after the LCL161 dose could not be modeled; suggesting direct enzyme induction by LCL161 was not the underlying mechanism.

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
