Abstract
INTRODUCTION The activity changes of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes, along with the complicated medication scenarios in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients, result in the unanticipated pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling has been a useful tool for assessing the influence of disease status on CYP enzymes and the resulting DDIs. This work aims to develop a novel diabetic PBPK population model to facilitate the prediction of PK and DDI in DM patients. METHODS First, mathematical functions were constructed to describe the demographic and non-CYP physiological characteristics specific to DM, which were then incorporated into the PBPK model to quantify the net changes in CYP enzyme activities by comparing the PK of CYP probe drugs in DM versus non-DM subjects. RESULTS The results show that the enzyme activity is reduced by 32.3% for CYP3A4/5, 39.1% for CYP2C19, and 27% for CYP2B6, while CYP2C9 activity is enhanced by 38% under DM condition. Finally, the diabetic PBPK model was developed through integrating the DM-specific CYP activities and other parameters and was further used to perform PK simulations under 12 drug combination scenarios, among which 3 combinations were predicted to result in significant PK changes in DM, which may cause DDI risks in DM patients. CONCLUSIONS The PBPK modeling applied herein provides a quantitative tool to assess the impact of disease factors on relevant enzyme pathways and potential disease-drug-drug-interactions (DDDIs), which may be useful for dosing regimen optimization and minimizing the DDI risks associated with the treatment of DM.

Burhanuddin K, Mohammed A, Badhan RKS. The Impact of Paediatric Obesity on Drug Pharmacokinetics: A Virtual Clinical Trials Case Study with Amlodipine. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:489. [PMID: 38675150 PMCID: PMC11053426 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16040489] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The incidence of paediatric obesity continues to rise worldwide and contributes to a range of diseases including cardiovascular disease. Obesity in children has been shown to impact upon the plasma concentrations of various compounds, including amlodipine. Nonetheless, information on the influence of obesity on amlodipine pharmacokinetics and the need for dose adjustment has not been studied previously. This study applied the physiologically based pharmacokinetic modelling and established a paediatric obesity population to assess the impact of obesity on amlodipine pharmacokinetics in children and explore the possible dose adjustments required to reach the same plasma concentration as non-obese paediatrics. The difference in predicted maximum concentration (Cmax) and area under the curve (AUC) were significant between children with and without obesity across the age group 2 to 18 years old when a fixed-dose regimen was used. On the contrary, a weight-based dose regimen showed no difference in Cmax between obese and non-obese from 2 to 9 years old. Thus, when a fixed-dose regimen is to be administered, a 1.25- to 1.5-fold increase in dose is required in obese children to achieve the same Cmax concentration as non-obese children, specifically for children aged 5 years and above.

Abstract
Pediatric drug dosing is challenged by the heterogeneity of developing physiology and ethical considerations surrounding a vulnerable population. Often, pediatric drug dosing leverages findings from the adult population; however, recent regulatory efforts have motivated drug sponsors to pursue pediatric-specific programs to meet an unmet medical need and improve pediatric drug labeling. This paradigm is further complicated by the pathophysiological implications of obesity on drug distribution and metabolism and the roles that body composition and body size play in drug dosing. Therefore, we sought to understand the landscape of pediatric drug dosing by characterizing the dosing strategies from drug products recently approved for pediatric indications identified using FDA Drug Databases and analyze the impact of body size descriptors (age, body surface area, weight) on drug pharmacokinetics for several selected antipsychotics approved in pediatric patients. Our review of these pediatric databases revealed a dependence on body size-guided dosing, with 68% of dosing in pediatric drug labelings being dependent on knowing either the age, body surface area, or weight of the patient to guide dosing for pediatric patients. This dependence on body size-guided dosing drives the need for special consideration when dosing a drug in overweight and obese patients. Exploratory pharmacokinetic analyses in antipsychotics illustrate possible effects of drug exposure when applying different dosing strategies for this class of drugs. Future efforts should aim to further understand the pediatric drug dosing and obesity paradigm across pediatric age ranges and drug classes to optimize drug development and clinical care for this patient population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To conduct a review of studies evaluating the influence of body size and weight (WT) on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of drugs recommended for heart failure (HF) treatment. DATA SOURCES A systematic search of the MEDLINE (1946 to April 2023) and EMBASE (1974 to April 2023) databases was conducted for articles that focused on the impact of WT or body size on the PK of drugs of interest used in HF patients. STUDY SELECTION AND DATA EXTRACTION Articles written in English or French related to the aim of our study were retained for analysis. DATA SYNTHESIS Of 6493 articles, 20 were retained for analysis. Weight was associated with the clearance of digoxin, carvedilol, enalapril, and candesartan as well as the volume of distribution of eplerenone and bisoprolol. There was no documented direct impact of WT on the PK of furosemide, valsartan, and metoprolol, although these studies were limited or confounded by the small sample size, adjustment of PK factors by WT, or the use of the Cockroff-Gault equation for the evaluation of creatinine clearance, which includes WT. RELEVANCE TO PATIENT CARE AND CLINICAL PRACTICE This review highlights and summarizes the available data on the importance of WT on the PK of HF treatment. CONCLUSION Considering the significant impact of WT on most HF drugs in this review, it may be important to further investigate it in the context of personalized therapy, particularly in patients presenting extreme WTs.

Abstract
Obesity is a growing global health concern associated with high comorbidity rates, leading to an increasing number of patients who are obese requiring medication. However, clinical trials often exclude or under-represent individuals who are obese, creating the need for a methodology to adjust labeling to ensure safe and effective dosing for all patients. To address this, we developed a 2-part decision tree framework to prioritize drugs for dedicated pharmacokinetic studies in obese subjects. Leveraging current drug knowledge and modeling techniques, the decision tree system predicts expected exposure changes and recommends labeling strategies, allowing stakeholders to prioritize resources toward the drugs most in need. In a case study evaluating 30 drugs from literature across different therapeutic areas, our first decision tree predicted the expected direction of exposure change accurately in 73% of cases. We conclude that this decision tree system offers a valuable tool to advance research in obesity pharmacology and personalize drug development for patients who are obese, ensuring safe and effective medication.

Abstract
Obesity is a pathophysiological state defined by a body mass index > 30 kg/m2 and characterized by an adipose tissue accumulation leading to an important weight increased. Several pathologies named comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer make obesity the fifth cause of death in the world. Physiological changes impact the four main phases of pharmacokinetics of some drugs and leads to an inappropriate drug-dose. For absorption, the gastrointestinal transit is accelerated, and the gastric empty time is shortened, that can reduce the solubilization and absorption of some oral drugs. The drug distribution is probably the most impacted by the obesity-related changes because the fat mass (FM) increases at the expense of the lean body weight (LBW), leading to an important increase of the volume of distribution for lipophilic drugs and a low or moderately increase of this parameter for hydrophilic drugs. This modification of the distribution may require drug-dose adjustments. By various mechanisms, the metabolism and elimination of drugs are impacted by obesity and should be considered as similar or lower than that non-obese patients. To better understand the necessary drug-dose adjustments in obese patients, a narrative review of the literature was conducted to highlight the main elements to consider in the therapeutic management of adult obese patients.

Abstract
In this study, we used human postmortem tissue to investigate hepatic protein expression levels of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, and CYP3A4 by LC-MS/MS in a population of people suffering from mental disorders (n = 171). We report hepatic protein levels of these six CYP isoforms in 171 individuals in total, and define a focused population dataset of 116 individuals after excluding 55 samples due to low microsomal protein per gram of liver (MPPGL) yield. Postmortem decay was most likely the reason for the low MPPGL yield in the 55 samples. In the focused population, we found women to have significantly higher protein levels of CYP3A4 than men in addition to decreased CYP3A4 protein levels among obese individuals. Furthermore, MPPGL was negatively correlated with body mass index (BMI). An increase in CYP1A2 protein levels was observed among smokers, and increased CYP2E1 protein levels were observed among individuals with a history of alcohol abuse. Finally, individuals who received phenobarbital (CYP3A4 inducer) had significantly higher CYP3A4 levels. In conclusion, lifestyle-related factors prevalent among people suffering from mental disorders are associated with altered CYP protein levels, which may alter drug metabolism and affect the efficacy of commonly prescribed drugs. Furthermore, this investigation demonstrates that postmortem hepatic tissue can be used to study how lifestyle and effectors affect hepatic CYP-levels in a large cohort of patients. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Using a large number of postmortem hepatic tissue specimens (n=116) originating from the autopsy of individuals diagnosed with mental disorders, we were able to show that hepatic CYP-levels were affected by alcohol, smoking, BMI, and sex and that MPPGL was affected by BMI. These lifestyle-related changes may alter drug metabolism and affect the efficacy of commonly prescribed drugs. It is a novel approach to use a large postmortem cohort to investigate how lifestyle and effectors affect hepatic CYP-levels.

Abstract
Ticagrelor has multiple indications, including for some patients with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) at high risk of ischaemic events. Body mass can potentially affect pharmacodynamics (PD) and pharmacokinetics (PK). We investigated the influence of body mass (range 53-172 kg, 20.8-46.9 kg/m2) on PD/PK in 221 CCS patients receiving ticagrelor 60 mg or 90 mg twice-daily (BD) during two randomised-controlled trials. Correlations between body weight (BW) or body mass index (BMI) and PD/PK measurements obtained during maintenance treatment at trough ('pre-dose') and peak effect ('post-dose') were assessed. BW and BMI correlated with P2Y12 reactivity units at pre-dose (e.g. BW:R = 0.26, p = 0.008) but not post-dose timepoints. BW affected ticagrelor active metabolite (TAM) levels (e.g. 60 mg BD, post-dose:R = -0.39, p < 0.0001) and there was evidence of an inverse power law relationship between BW and TAM-to-ticagrelor ratio. PK with ticagrelor 60 mg correlated significantly with BMI. BW and BMI did not affect the chance of high platelet reactivity, which remained very low across the whole cohort. There was no difference in PRU between the two doses of ticagrelor within each weight or BMI group. Body mass has modest effects on the PK/PD response to ticagrelor in patients with CCS but currently-used regimens appear adequate across the range of BW/BMI studied.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rosuvastatin pharmacokinetics is mainly dependent on the activity of hepatic uptake transporter OATP1B1. In this study, we aimed to investigate and disentangle the effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and weight loss on oral clearance (CL/F) of rosuvastatin as a measure of OATP1B1-activity. METHODS Patients with severe obesity preparing for RYGB (n = 40) or diet-induced weight loss (n = 40) were included and followed for 2 years, with four 24-hour pharmacokinetic investigations. Both groups underwent a 3-week low-energy diet (LED; < 1200 kcal/day), followed by RYGB or a 6-week very-low-energy diet (VLED; < 800 kcal/day). RESULTS A total of 80 patients were included in the RYGB group (40 patients) and diet-group (40 patients). The weight loss was similar between the groups following LED and RYGB. The LED induced a similar (mean [95% CI]) decrease in CL/F in both intervention groups (RYGB: 16% [0, 31], diet: 23% [8, 38]), but neither induced VLED resulted in any further changes in CL/F. At Year 2, CL/F had increased by 21% from baseline in the RYGB group, while it was unaltered in the diet group. Patients expressing the reduced function SLCO1B1 variants (c.521TC/CC) showed similar changes in CL/F over time compared with patients expressing the wild-type variant. CONCLUSIONS Neither body weight, weight loss nor RYGB per se seem to affect OATP1B1 activity to a clinically relevant degree. Overall, the observed changes in rosuvastatin pharmacokinetics were minor, and unlikely to be of clinical relevance.

Abstract
The epidemic of obesity, type 2 diabetes and nonalcoholic liver disease (NAFLD) favors drug consumption, which augments the risk of adverse events including liver injury. For more than 30 years, a series of experimental and clinical investigations reported or suggested that the common pain reliever acetaminophen (APAP) could be more hepatotoxic in obesity and related metabolic diseases, at least after an overdose. Nonetheless, several investigations did not reproduce these data. This discrepancy might come from the extent of obesity and steatosis, accumulation of specific lipid species, mitochondrial dysfunction and diabetes-related parameters such as ketonemia and hyperglycemia. Among these factors, some of them seem pivotal for the induction of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1), which favors the conversion of APAP to the toxic metabolite N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI). In contrast, other factors might explain why obesity and NAFLD are not always associated with more frequent or more severe APAP-induced acute hepatotoxicity, such as increased volume of distribution in the body, higher hepatic glucuronidation and reduced CYP3A4 activity. Accordingly, the occurrence and outcome of APAP-induced liver injury in an obese individual with NAFLD would depend on a delicate balance between metabolic factors that augment the generation of NAPQI and others that can mitigate hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), representing a clinical spectrum ranging from nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), is rapidly evolving into a global pandemic. Patients with NAFLD are burdened with high rates of metabolic syndrome-related comorbidities resulting in polypharmacy. Therefore, it is crucial to gain a better understanding of NAFLD-mediated changes in drug disposition and efficacy/toxicity. Despite extensive clinical pharmacokinetic data in cirrhosis, current knowledge concerning pharmacokinetic alterations in NAFLD, particularly at different stages of disease progression, is relatively limited. In vitro-to-in vivo extrapolation coupled with physiologically based pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (IVIVE-PBPK/PD) modeling offers a promising approach for optimizing pharmacologic predictions while refining and reducing clinical studies in this population. Use of IVIVE-PBPK to predict intra-organ drug concentrations at pharmacologically relevant sites of action is particularly advantageous when it can be linked to pharmacodynamic effects. Quantitative systems pharmacology/toxicology (QSP/QST) modeling can be used to translate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data from PBPK/PD models into clinically relevant predictions of drug response and toxicity. In this review, a detailed summary of NAFLD-mediated alterations in human physiology relevant to drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) is provided. The application of literature-derived physiologic parameters and ADME-associated protein abundance data to inform virtual NAFLD population development and facilitate PBPK/PD, QSP, and QST predictions is discussed along with current limitations of these methodologies and knowledge gaps. The proposed methodologic framework offers great potential for meaningful prediction of pharmacological outcomes in patients with NAFLD and can inform both drug development and clinical practice for this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obese individuals are often underrepresented in clinical trials, leading to a lack of dosing guidance. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate which physiological parameters and drug properties determine drug disposition changes in obese using our physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) framework, informed with obese population characteristics. METHODS Simulations were performed for ten drugs with clinical data in obese (i.e., midazolam, triazolam, caffeine, chlorzoxazone, acetaminophen, lorazepam, propranolol, amikacin, tobramycin, and glimepiride). PBPK drug models were developed and verified first against clinical data in non-obese (body mass index (BMI) ≤ 30 kg/m2) and subsequently in obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) without changing any drug parameters. Additionally, the PBPK model was used to study the effect of obesity on the pharmacokinetic parameters by simulating drug disposition across BMI, starting from 20 up to 60 kg/m2. RESULTS Predicted pharmacokinetic parameters were within 1.25-fold (71.5%), 1.5-fold (21.5%) and twofold (7%) of clinical data. On average, clearance increased by 1.6% per BMI unit up to 64% for a BMI of 60 kg/m2, which was explained by the increased hepatic and renal blood flows. Volume of distribution increased for all drugs up to threefold for a BMI of 60 kg/m2; this change was driven by pKa for ionized drugs and logP for neutral and unionized drugs. Cmax decreased similarly across all drugs while tmax remained unchanged. CONCLUSION Both physiological changes and drug properties impact drug pharmacokinetics in obese subjects. Clearance increases due to enhanced hepatic and renal blood flows. Volume of distribution is higher for all drugs, with differences among drugs depending on their pKa/logP.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In the United States, obesity affects approximately ⅖ adults and ⅕ children, leading to increased risk for comorbidities, like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), treated increasingly with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Currently, there are no clinical guidelines to inform PPI dose selection for obesity, with sparse data regarding whether dose augmentation is necessary. AREAS COVERED We provide a review of available literature regarding the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and/or metabolism of PPIs in children and adults with obesity, as a step toward informing PPI dose selection. EXPERT OPINION Published PK data in adults and children are limited to first-generation PPIs and point toward reduced apparent oral drug clearance in obesity, with equipoise regarding obesity impact on drug absorption. Available PD data are sparse, conflicting, and limited to adults. No studies are available to inform the PPI PK→PD relationship in obesity and if/how it differs compared to individuals without obesity. In the absence of data, best practice may be to dose PPIs based on CYP2C19 genotype and lean body weight, so as to avoid systemic overexposure and potential toxicities, while monitoring closely for efficacy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Gefitinib and erlotinib, are epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and are currently recommended for non-small cell lung cancer stage IV in the elderly and in patients with decreased performance status in the Japanese Lung Cancer Society Guideline, but they occasionally caused severe hepatotoxicity requiring postponement or modification of treatment. However, little is known about the risk factors for hepatotoxicity in patients receiving gefitinib and erlotinib. In this study, we investigated the factors influencing hepatotoxicity in Japanese non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with gefitinib or erlotinib monotherapy.
Methods
Japanese patients with NSCLC who started gefitinib or erlotinib monotherapy from January 2005 to December 2017 at Kanazawa University Hospital or Kanazawa Medical University Hospital were included in this study. Factors affecting hepatotoxicity were retrospectively investigated by multiple logistic regression analysis.
Results
A total of 102 patients who received gefitinib and 95 patients who received erlotinib were included in the analysis. In the gefitinib group, a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 was associated with an increased risk of hepatotoxicity (OR = 4.571, 95% CI = 1.486–14.056, P = 0.008). In the erlotinib group, concomitant use of acid-suppressing medications (AS), namely proton pump inhibitors or histamine-2 receptor antagonists, was associated with a reduced risk of hepatotoxicity (OR = 0.341, 95% CI = 0.129–0.900, P = 0.030).
Conclusions
BMI ≥ 25 in patients treated with gefitinib increased the risk of hepatotoxicity. In contrast, AS combination with erlotinib reduced the risk of hepatotoxicity. Thus, because different factors influence the risk of hepatotoxicity, monitoring for adverse events should take into account patient background factors and concomitant medications.

Abstract
Previous studies have not accounted for the close link between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity when investigating the impact of T2DM on cytochrome P450 (CYP) activities. The aim was to investigate the effect of T2DM on in vivo activities and protein expressions of CYP2C19, CYP3A, CYP1A2, and CYP2C9 in patients with obesity. A total of 99 patients from the COCKTAIL study (NCT02386917) were included in this cross-sectional analysis; 29 with T2DM and obesity (T2DM-obesity), 53 with obesity without T2DM (obesity), and 17 controls without T2DM and obesity (controls). CYP activities were assessed after the administration of a cocktail of probe drugs including omeprazole (CYP2C19), midazolam (CYP3A), caffeine (CYP1A2), and losartan (CYP2C9). Jejunal and liver biopsies were also obtained to determine protein concentrations of the respective CYPs. CYP2C19 activity and jejunal CYP2C19 concentration were 63% (-0.39 [95% CI: -0.82, -0.09]) and 40% (-0.09 fmol/μg protein [95% CI: -0.18, -0.003]) lower in T2DM-obesity compared with the obesity group, respectively. By contrast, there were no differences in the in vivo activities and protein concentrations of CYP3A, CYP1A2, and CYP2C9. Multivariable regression analyses also indicated that T2DM was associated with interindividual variability in CYP2C19 activity, but not CYP3A, CYP1A2, and CYP2C9 activities. The findings indicate that T2DM has a significant downregulating impact on CYP2C19 activity, but not on CYP3A, CYP1A2, and CYP2C9 activities and protein concentrations in patients with obesity. Hence, the effect of T2DM seems to be isoform-specific.

Abstract
The increase in the prevalence of obesity has led to an elevated risk for several associated diseases including cancer. Several studies have investigated the DNA damage in human blood samples and showed a clear trend towards increased DNA damage in obesity. Reduced genomic stability is thus one of the consequences of obesity, which may contribute to the related cancer risk. Whether this is influenced by compromised DNA repair has not been elucidated sufficiently yet. On the other hand, obesity has also been linked to reduced therapy survival and increased adverse effects during chemotherapy, although the available data are controversial. Despite some indications that obesity might alter hepatic metabolism, current literature in humans is insufficient, and results from animal studies are inconclusive. Here we have summarised published data on hepatic drug metabolism to understand the impact of obesity on cancer therapy better. Furthermore, we highlight knowledge gaps in the interrelationship between obesity and drug metabolism from a toxicological perspective.

Abstract
Background Obesity is associated with physiological changes that can affect drug pharmacokinetics. Obese individuals are underrepresented in clinical trials, leading to a lack of evidence-based dosing recommendations for many drugs. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling can overcome this limitation but necessitates a detailed description of the population characteristics under investigation. Objective The purpose of this study was to develop and verify a repository of the current anatomical, physiological, and biological data of obese individuals, including population variability, to inform a PBPK framework. Methods A systematic literature search was performed to collate anatomical, physiological, and biological parameters for obese individuals. Multiple regression analyses were used to derive mathematical equations describing the continuous effect of body mass index (BMI) within the range 18.5–60 kg/m2 on system parameters. Results In total, 209 studies were included in the database. The literature reported mostly BMI-related changes in organ weight, whereas data on blood flow and biological parameters (i.e. enzyme abundance) were sparse, and hence physiologically plausible assumptions were made when needed. The developed obese population was implemented in Matlab® and the predicted system parameters obtained from 1000 virtual individuals were in agreement with observed data from an independent validation obese population. Our analysis indicates that a threefold increase in BMI, from 20 to 60 kg/m2, leads to an increase in cardiac output (50%), liver weight (100%), kidney weight (60%), both the kidney and liver absolute blood flows (50%), and in total adipose blood flow (160%). Conclusion The developed repository provides an updated description of a population with a BMI from 18.5 to 60 kg/m2 using continuous physiological changes and their variability for each system parameter. It is a tool that can be implemented in PBPK models to simulate drug pharmacokinetics in obese individuals.

Abstract
NN1177 is a glucagon/glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor co-agonist investigated for chronic weight management and treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Here, we show concentration-dependent down-regulation of cytochrome P450 enzymes using freshly isolated human hepatocytes treated with this linear 29-amino acid peptide. Notably, reductions in CYP3A4 mRNA expression (57.2-71.7%) and activity (18.5-51.5%) were observed with a clinically-relevant concentration of 100 nM NN1177. CYP1A2 and CYP2B6 were also affected, but to a lesser extent. Physiological-based pharmacokinetic modelling simulated effects on CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 probe substrates (midazolam and caffeine, respectively) and revealed potential safety concerns related to drug-drug interactions (DDIs). To investigate the clinical relevance of observed in vitro CYP down-regulation, a phase 1 clinical cocktail study was initiated to assess the DDI potential. The study enrolled 45 study participants (BMI 23.0-29.9 kg/m2) to receive a Cooperstown 5+1 cocktail (midazolam, caffeine, omeprazole, dextromethorphan, and S-warfarin/vitamin K) alone and following steady state NN1177 exposure. The analysis of pharmacokinetic profiles for the cocktail drugs showed no significant effect from the co-administration of NN1177 on AUC0-inf for midazolam or S-warfarin. Omeprazole, caffeine, and dextromethorphan generally displayed decreases in AUC0-inf and Cmax following NN1177 co-administration. Thus, the in vitro observations were not reflected in the clinic. These findings highlight remaining challenges associated with standard in vitro systems used to predict DDIs for peptide-based drugs as well as the complexity of DDI trial design for these modalities. Overall, there is an urgent need for better pre-clinical models to assess potential drug-drug interaction risks associated with therapeutic peptides during drug development. Significance Statement This study highlights significant challenges associated with assessing drug-drug interaction risks for therapeutic peptides using in vitro systems, since potential concerns identified by standard assays did not translate to the clinical setting. Further research is required to guide investigators involved in peptide-based drug development towards better non-clinical models in order to more accurately evaluate potential drug-drug interactions.

Abstract
PURPOSE Variability in cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) metabolism is mainly caused by non-genetic factors, hence providing a need for accurate phenotype biomarkers. Although 4β-hydroxycholesterol (4βOHC) is a promising endogenous CYP3A4 biomarker, additional investigations are required to evaluate its ability to predict CYP3A4 activity. This study investigated the correlations between 4βOHC concentrations and hepatic and intestinal CYP3A4 protein expression and ex vivo microsomal activity in paired liver and jejunum samples, as well as in vivo CYP3A4 phenotyping (midazolam) in patients with a wide body weight range. METHODS The patients (n = 96; 78 with obesity and 18 normal or overweight individuals) were included from the COCKTAIL-study (NCT02386917). Plasma samples for analysis of 4βOHC and midazolam concentrations, and liver (n = 56) and jejunal (n = 38) biopsies were obtained. The biopsies for determination of CYP3A4 protein concentration and microsomal activity were obtained during gastric bypass or cholecystectomy. In vivo CYP3A4 phenotyping was performed using semi-simultaneous oral (1.5 mg) and intravenous (1.0 mg) midazolam. RESULTS 4βOHC concentrations were positively correlated with hepatic microsomal CYP3A4 activity (ρ = 0.53, p < 0.001), and hepatic CYP3A4 concentrations (ρ = 0.30, p = 0.027), but not with intestinal CYP3A4 concentrations (ρ = 0.18, p = 0.28) or intestinal microsomal CYP3A4 activity (ρ = 0.15, p = 0.53). 4βOHC concentrations correlated weakly with midazolam absolute bioavailability (ρ = - 0.23, p = 0.027) and apparent oral clearance (ρ = 0.28, p = 0.008), but not with systemic clearance (ρ = - 0.03, p = 0.81). CONCLUSION These findings suggest that 4βOHC concentrations reflect hepatic, but not intestinal, CYP3A4 activity. Further studies should investigate the potential value of 4βOHC as an endogenous biomarker for individual dose requirements of intravenously administered CYP3A4 substrate drugs.

Abstract
Aim Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass (RYGB) may influence drug disposition due to surgery‐induced gastrointestinal alterations and/or subsequent weight loss. The objective was to compare short‐ and long‐term effects of RYGB and diet on the metabolic ratios of paraxanthine/caffeine (cytochrome P450 [CYP] 1A2 activity), 5‐hydroxyomeprazole/omeprazole (CYP2C19 activity) and losartan/losartan carboxylic acid (CYP2C9 activity), and cross‐sectionally compare these CYP‐activities with normal‐to‐overweight controls. Methods This trial included patients with severe obesity preparing for RYGB (n = 40) or diet‐induced (n = 41) weight loss, and controls (n = 18). Both weight loss groups underwent a 3‐week low‐energy diet (<1200 kcal/day, weeks 0‐3) followed by a 6‐week very‐low‐energy diet or RYGB (both <800 kcal/day, weeks 3‐9). Follow‐up time was 2 years, with four pharmacokinetic investigations. Results Mean ± SD weight loss from baseline was similar in the RYGB‐group (13 ± 2.4%) and the diet group (10.5 ± 3.9%) at week 9, but differed at year 2 (RYGB −30 ± 6.9%, diet −3.1 ± 6.3%). From weeks 0 to 3, mean (95% confidence interval [CI]) CYP2C19 activity similarly increased in both groups (RYGB 43% [16, 55], diet 48% [22, 60]). Mean CYP2C19 activity increased by 30% (2.6, 43) after RYGB (weeks 3‐9), but not in the diet‐group (between‐group difference −0.30 [−0.63, 0.03]). CYP2C19 activity remained elevated in the RYGB group at year 2. Baseline CYP2C19 activity was 2.7‐fold higher in controls compared with patients with obesity, whereas no difference was observed in CYP1A2 and CYP2C9 activities. Conclusion Our findings suggest that CYP2C19 activity is lower in patients with obesity and increases following weight loss. This may be clinically relevant for drug dosing. No clinically significant effect on CYP1A2 and CYP2C9 activities was observed.

Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:818726. [PMID: 35359853 PMCID: PMC8960278 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.818726] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2021] [Accepted: 01/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Childhood obesity is an alarming public health problem. The pediatric obesity rate has quadrupled in the past 30 years, and currently nearly 20% of United States children and 9% of children worldwide are classified as obese. Drug distribution and elimination processes, which determine drug exposure (and thus dosing), can vary significantly between patients with and without obesity. Obesity-related physiological changes, such as increased tissue volume and perfusion, altered blood protein concentrations, and tissue composition can greatly affect a drug's volume of distribution, which might necessitate adjustment in loading doses. Obesity-related changes in the drug eliminating organs, such as altered enzyme activity in the liver and glomerular filtration rate, can affect the rate of drug elimination, which may warrant an adjustment in the maintenance dosing rate. Although weight-based dosing (i.e., in mg/kg) is commonly practiced in pediatrics, choice of the right body size metric (e.g., total body weight, lean body weight, body surface area, etc.) for dosing children with obesity still remains a question. To address this gap, the interplay between obesity-related physiological changes (e.g., altered organ size, composition, and function), and drug-specific properties (e.g., lipophilicity and elimination pathway) needs to be characterized in a quantitative framework. Additionally, methodological considerations, such as adequate sample size and optimal sampling scheme, should also be considered to ensure accurate and precise top-down covariate selection, particularly when designing opportunistic studies in pediatric drug development. Further factors affecting dosing, including existing dosing recommendations, target therapeutic ranges, dose capping, and formulations constraints, are also important to consider when undergoing dose selection for children with obesity. Opportunities to bridge the dosing knowledge gap in children with obesity include modeling and simulating techniques (i.e., population pharmacokinetic and physiologically-based pharmacokinetic [PBPK] modeling), opportunistic clinical data, and real world data. In this review, key considerations related to physiology, drug parameters, patient factors, and methodology that need to be accounted for while studying the influence of obesity on pharmacokinetics in children are highlighted and discussed. Future studies will need to leverage these modeling opportunities to better describe drug exposure in children with obesity as the childhood obesity epidemic continues.

Longitudinal changes in concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (1986-2016) and their associations with type 2 diabetes mellitus. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 204:112129. [PMID: 34597662 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2021.112129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2021] [Revised: 08/31/2021] [Accepted: 09/22/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Positive associations have been reported between persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); however, causality has not been established. Over the last decades, environmental exposure to legacy POPs has decreased, complicating epidemiological studies. In addition, physiological risk factors for T2DM may also influence POP concentrations, contributing to a complex network of factors that could impact associations with T2DM. Longitudinal studies on this topic are lacking, and few have assessed prospective and cross-sectional associations between repeated POP measurements and T2DM in the same individuals, which may shed light on causality. OBJECTIVES To compare longitudinal trends in concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in T2DM cases and controls, and to examine prospective and cross-sectional associations between PCBs, OCPs and T2DM at different time-points before and after T2DM diagnosis in cases. METHODS We conducted a longitudinal, nested case-control study (1986-2016) of 116 T2DM cases and 139 controls from the Tromsø Study. All participants had three blood samples collected before T2DM diagnosis in cases, and up to two samples thereafter. We used linear mixed-effect models to assess temporal changes of POPs within and between T2DM cases and controls, and logistic regression models to investigate the associations between different POPs and T2DM at different time-points. RESULTS PCBs, trans-nonachlor, cis-nonachlor, oxychlordane, cis-heptachlor epoxide, p,p'-DDE, and p,p'-DDT declined more slowly in cases than controls, whereas β-HCH and HCB declined similarly in both groups. Most POPs showed positive associations between both pre- and post-diagnostic concentrations and T2DM, though effect estimates were imprecise. These associations were most consistent for cis-heptachlor epoxide. DISCUSSION The observed positive associations between certain POPs and T2DM may be because of higher POP concentrations within prospective T2DM cases, due to slower temporal declines as compared to controls.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES AT-533 is a novel heat shock protein 90 inhibitor, which exhibits various biological activities in vitro and in vivo. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes in the liver are involved in the biotransformation of drugs and considered to be essential indicators of liver toxicity. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of AT-533, either as active pharmaceutical ingredient or in gel form, on liver CYP enzymes. METHODS The effect of AT-533 or AT-533 gel on rat liver cytochrome P450 enzymes, including CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4, was analyzed using LC-MS/MS. RESULTS AT-533 and AT-533 gel did not significantly increase or reduce the enzymatic activity of CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4 at any treatment dose. CONCLUSIONS AT-533 and AT-533 gel did not have any effect on CYP activity and may be considered safe for external use in gel form, as an alternative to conventional treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE While one in five children in the USA are now obese, and more than three-quarters receive at least one drug during childhood, there is limited dosing guidance for this vulnerable patient population. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling can bridge the gap in the understanding of how pharmacokinetics, including drug distribution and clearance, changes with obesity by incorporating known obesity-related physiological changes in children. The objective of this study was to develop a virtual population of children with obesity to enable physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling, then use the novel virtual population in conjunction with previously developed models of clindamycin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole to better understand dosing of these drugs in children with obesity. METHODS To enable physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling, a virtual population of children with obesity was developed using national survey, electronic health record, and clinical trial data, as well as data extracted from the literature. The virtual population accounts for key obesity-related changes in physiology relevant to pharmacokinetics, including increased body size, body composition, organ size and blood flow, plasma protein concentrations, and glomerular filtration rate. The virtual population was then used to predict the pharmacokinetics of clindamycin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole in children with obesity using previously developed physiologically based pharmacokinetic models. RESULTS Model simulations predicted observed concentrations well, with an overall average fold error of 1.09, 1.24, and 1.53 for clindamycin, trimethoprim, and sulfamethoxazole, respectively. Relative to children without obesity, children with obesity experienced decreased clindamycin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole weight-normalized clearance and volume of distribution, and higher absolute doses under recommended pediatric weight-based dosing regimens. CONCLUSIONS Model simulations support current recommended weight-based dosing in children with obesity for clindamycin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, as they met target exposure despite these changes in clearance and volume of distribution.

Stability investigations of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes immediately after death in a pig model support the applicability of postmortem hepatic CYP quantification.

Abstract
Quantification of drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms using LC-MS/MS has been proposed as a potential way of estimating antemortem CYP levels using postmortem tissue, but the postmortem stability of CYP proteins is incompletely investigated. If one can use data obtained from the analysis of postmortem specimens to inform physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models this greatly increases the access to rare specimens among special subpopulations. In this study, we developed and validated an LC-MS/MS method for targeted CYP protein quantification in a porcine animal model to study postmortem stability. We measured 19.9-28.3 pmol CYP1A2, 50.3-66.2 pmol CYP2D25, 132.9-142.7 pmol CYP2E1, and 16.8-48 pmol CYP3A29 protein per mg PLM in nondegraded tissue. In tissue stored at 4°C, we found that the CYP protein levels were unaffected by degradation after 72 h. At 21°C CYP1A2, CYP2D25, and CYP2E1 protein levels were nearly unaffected by degradation after 24 h, whereas a loss of approximately 50% was seen after 48 h. At 21°C CYP3A29 had a loss of 50% at 24 h and 70% at 48 h exhibiting less postmortem stability. In vitro enzyme activity measurements in the same tissue stored at 21°C showed a 50% decrease after 24 h and a complete loss of enzyme activity after 48 h. When stored at 4°C, the in vitro enzyme activity decreased to 50% activity after 96 h. In conclusion, measuring CYP levels by an LC-MS/MS approach was clearly less affected by postmortem changes than an activity-based approach. The found postmortem stability for 24 h at 21°C for 3 out of 4 CYP isoforms supports the use of properly stored postmortem tissue to inform PBPK models.

Short- and long-term effects of body weight loss following calorie restriction and gastric bypass on CYP3A-activity - a non-randomized three-armed controlled trial. Clin Transl Sci 2021; 15:221-233. [PMID: 34435745 PMCID: PMC8742654 DOI: 10.1111/cts.13142] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2020] [Revised: 07/17/2020] [Accepted: 07/26/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
It remains uncertain whether pharmacokinetic changes following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) can be attributed to surgery-induced gastrointestinal alterations per se and/or the subsequent weight loss. The aim was to compare short- and long-term effects of RYGB and calorie restriction on CYP3A-activity, and cross-sectionally compare CYP3A-activity with normal weight to overweight controls using midazolam as probe drug. This three-armed controlled trial included patients with severe obesity preparing for RYGB (n = 41) or diet-induced (n = 41) weight-loss, and controls (n = 18). Both weight-loss groups underwent a 3-week low-energy-diet (<1200 kcal/day) followed by a 6-week very-low-energy-diet or RYGB (both <800 kcal/day). Patients were followed for 2 years, with four pharmacokinetic investigations using semisimultaneous oral and intravenous dosing to determine changes in midazolam absolute bioavailability and clearance, within and between groups. The RYGB and diet groups showed similar weight-loss at week 9 (13 ± 2.4% vs. 11 ± 3.6%), but differed substantially after 2 years (-30 ± 7.0% vs. -3.1 ± 6.3%). At baseline, mean absolute bioavailability and clearance of midazolam were similar in the RYGB and diet groups, but higher compared with controls. On average, absolute bioavailability was unaltered at week 9, but decreased by 40 ± 7.5% in the RYGB group and 32 ± 6.1% in the diet group at year 2 compared with baseline, with no between-group difference. No difference in clearance was observed over time, nor between groups. In conclusion, neither RYGB per se nor weight loss impacted absolute bioavailability or clearance of midazolam short term. Long term, absolute bioavailability was similarly decreased in both groups despite different weight loss, suggesting that the recovered CYP3A-activity is not only dependent on weight-loss through RYGB.

Effects of CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein inhibition or induction on the pharmacokinetics of ubrogepant in healthy adults: Two phase 1, open-label, fixed-sequence, single-center, crossover trials. CEPHALALGIA REPORTS 2021. [DOI: 10.1177/25158163211037344] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Ubrogepant is metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) and is a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate. Objective: To assess effects of multiple-dose moderate-strong CYP3A4 and strong P-gp inhibitors and inducers on ubrogepant pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters. Methods: Two phase 1, open-label, fixed-sequence, single-center, crossover trials enrolled healthy adults to receive ubrogepant 20 mg with/without verapamil 240 mg (a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor) or ketoconazole 400 mg (a strong CYP3A4 and P-gp transporter inhibitor) (Study A), or ubrogepant 100 mg with/without rifampin 600 mg (a strong CYP3A4 inducer and P-gp inducer) (Study B). Outcomes included ubrogepant PK parameters (area under plasma concentration-time curve, time 0 through infinity [AUC0-∞], peak plasma concentration [Cmax]), and safety (treatment-emergent adverse events [TEAEs]). PK parameters were compared between ubrogepant with/without coadministered medications using linear mixed-effects models. Cmax and AUC0-∞ least-squares geometric mean ratios (GMR) of ubrogepant with/without coadministration were constructed. Results: Twelve participants enrolled in Study A and 30 in Study B. AUC0-∞ and Cmax GMR (90% CI) were 3.53 (3.32–3.75) and 2.80 (2.48–3.15), respectively, for ubrogepant with verapamil; 9.65 (7.27–12.81) and 5.32 (4.19–6.76) with ketoconazole; and 0.22 (0.20–0.24) and 0.31 (0.27–0.36) with rifampin. TEAEs were predominantly mild; no treatment-related serious TEAEs or TEAE-related discontinuations occurred. Conclusion: The PK of ubrogepant were significantly affected by the concomitant use of CYP3A4 moderate-strong inhibitors and strong inducers.

Cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) positively regulates lipid catabolism and induces browning in 3T3-L1 white adipocytes. Life Sci 2021; 278:119648. [PMID: 34043994 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2021.119648] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2021] [Revised: 05/19/2021] [Accepted: 05/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Browning induction (beiging) of white adipocytes is an emerging prospective strategy to defeat obesity and its related metabolic disorders. Cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1), a membrane protein which belongs to the cytochrome P450 superfamily, reportedly functions in the xenobiotic metabolism in the body, especially ethanol metabolism. Although previous studies have reported the effect of CYP2E1 on obesity in animal models, the data remains controversial. In the current study, we investigate for the first time, the role of CYP2E1 in lipid metabolism in 3T3-L1 white adipocytes, with a focus on fat browning. METHODS 3T3-L1 white adipocytes and Cyp2e1 siRNA were applied to investigate the role of CYP2E1 in white adipocytes. After that, cells were seperately exposed to β3-AR agonist, β3-AR antagonist and p38 inhibitor to identify the pathway which CYP2E1 was involved in to regulate browning event in white adipocytes. KEY FINDINGS We found that CYP2E1 deficiency results in reduced adipogenesis and lipogenesis as well as brown adipocyte-like phenotype induction. A mechanistic study to identify the molecular signals for CYP2E1 regulation in the browning of white adipocytes revealed that CYP2E1 inhibition deters the β3-adrenergic receptor activation and its downstream targets. SIGNIFICANCE Our data unveilved a previously unknown mechanism in the regulation of browning by CYP2E1 in 3T3-L1 white adipocytes, suggesting that CYP2E1 is a promising molecular target for the treatment of obesity and its related diseases.

Abstract
Background Perampanel (PER) is a novel antiepileptic drug (AED) which employs a completely different mechanism of action compared to existing medications. Overall, PER is considered to be safe up to a dose of 12 mg per day. When used to treat refractory and super-refractory status epilepticus, PER seems to be extremely well tolerated; this is true even when used at doses of up to 32 mg. There are currently only three case reports on the effects of acute PER overdose in epilepsy patients. Case presentation We report a 16-year-old Thai woman with a low body weight, who took PER at a dose of 40 times that of the prescribed daily dose. She experienced only an alteration of consciousness, without any systemic medical effects, and made a full recovery within 3 days without gastric lavage or specific treatment. Conclusion Our report demonstrates that an acute PER overdose may not produce serious adverse systemic effects. Individuals with adverse central nervous system (CNS) effects, such as altered consciousness, can experience a rapid recovery.
