Malnoë D, Fardel O, Le Corre P. Involvement of Transporters in Intestinal Drug-Drug Interactions of Oral Targeted Anticancer Drugs Assessed by Changes in Drug Absorption Time. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14112493. [PMID: 36432682 PMCID: PMC9696196 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14112493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2022] [Revised: 11/08/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Oral targeted anticancer drugs are victims of presystemic pharmacokinetic drug−drug interactions (DDI). Identification of the nature of these DDIs, i.e., enzyme-based or/and transporter-based, is challenging, since most of these drugs are substrates of intestinal and/or hepatic cytochrome P-450 enzymes and of intestinal membrane transporters. (2) Methods: Variations in mean absorption time (MAT) between DDIs and control period (MAT ratios < 0.77 or >1.30) have been proposed to implicate transporters in DDIs at the intestinal level. This methodology has been applied to a large set of oral targeted anticancer drugs (n = 54, involved in 77 DDI studies), from DDI studies available either in the international literature and/or in publicly accessible FDA files. (3) Results: Significant variations in MAT were evidenced in 33 DDI studies, 12 of which could be explained by modulation of an efflux transporter. In 21 DDI studies, modulation of efflux transporters could not explain the MAT variation, suggesting a possible relevant role of influx transporters in the intestinal absorption. (4) Conclusions: This methodology allows one to suggest the involvement of intestinal transporters in DDIs, and should be used in conjunction with in vitro methodologies to help understanding the origin of DDIs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ulcerative colitis (UC) is one of the intractable diseases recognized by the World Health Organization, and paeonol has been proven to have therapeutic effects. However, the low solubility of paeonol limits its clinical application. To prepare and optimize paeonol liposome, study its absorption mechanism and the anti-inflammatory activity in vitro and in vivo, in order to provide experimental basis for the further development of paeonol into an anti-inflammatory drug in the future. METHODS Paeonol loaded liposomes were prepared and optimized by thin film dispersion-ultrasonic method. The absorption mechanism of paeonol-loaded liposomes was studied by pharmacokinetics, in situ single-pass intestinal perfusion and Caco-2 cell monolayer model, the anti-inflammatory activity was studied in a mouse ulcerative model. RESULTS Box-Behnken response surface methodology permits to screen the best formulations. The structural and morphological characterization showed that paeonol was entrapped inside the bilayer in liposomes. Pharmacokinetic studies found that the AUC0-t of Pae-Lips was 2.78 times than that of paeonol suspension, indicating that Pae-Lips significantly improved the absorption of paeonol. In situ single intestinal perfusion and Caco-2 monolayer cell model results showed that paeonol was passively transported and absorbed, and was the substrate of P-gp, MRP2 and BCRP, and the Papp value of Pae-Lips was significantly higher than that of paeonol. In vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory experiments showed that compared with paeonol, Pae-Lips exhibited excellent anti-inflammatory activity. CONCLUSION In this study, Pae-Lips were successfully prepared to improve the oral absorption of paeonol. Absorption may involve passive diffusion and efflux transporters. Moreover, Pae-Lips have excellent anti-inflammatory activity in vitro and in vivo, which preliminarily clarifies the feasibility of further development of Pae-Lips into oral anti-inflammatory drugs.

Abstract
1. This study aimed to assess the effects of total flavonoid extracts (TFDG) and the monomers of Daphne genkwa on the CYP2C8 activity in vitro and in vivo.2. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) values were used to determine the inhibitory effect of TFDG and its four monomers for the CYP2C8 activity by recombinant human CYP2C8 (RHCYP2C8) yeast microsome system in vitro, and the volume per dose index (VDI) was predicted the potential inhibition in vivo. The effects of multiple-dose administration of TFDG on the pharmacokinetic parameters of rosiglitazone in rats were evaluated.3. The IC50 values of apigenin, luteolin, hydroxy-genkwanin, genkwanin, and TFDG were 7.27μmol/L, 11.9μmol/L, 28.1μmol/L, 127μmol/L, and 13.4μg/mL, respectively. The VDI values of apigenin and TFDG were 2.15L and 6.60L. In vivo study, compared with the control group, the elimination phase half-life and mean residence time in the TFDG treatment group were significantly increased by 96.9% and 106.8% (p < 0.05), respectively.4. Apigenin showed a moderate inhibitory effect on the CYP2C8 activity in vitro, while the other three monomers were weak inhibitors. TFDG had a strong inhibitory effect on CYP2C8 in vitro and in vivo, and also inhibited the metabolism of rosiglitazone in rats.

Impact of the Genotype and Phenotype of CYP3A and P-gp on the Apixaban and Rivaroxaban Exposure in a Real-World Setting. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12040526. [PMID: 35455642 PMCID: PMC9028714 DOI: 10.3390/jpm12040526] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2022] [Revised: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 03/18/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Apixaban and rivaroxaban are the two most prescribed direct factor Xa inhibitors. With the increased use of DOACs in real-world settings, safety and efficacy concerns have emerged, particularly regarding their concomitant use with other drugs. Increasing evidence highlights drug−drug interactions with CYP3A/P-gp modulators leading to adverse events. However, current recommendations for dose adjustment do not consider CYP3A/P-gp genotype and phenotype. We aimed to determine their impact on apixaban and rivaroxaban blood exposure. Three-hundred hospitalized patients were included. CYP3A and P-gp phenotypic activities were assessed by the metabolic ratio of midazolam and AUC0−6h of fexofenadine, respectively. Relevant CYP3A and ABCB1 genetic polymorphisms were also tested. Capillary blood samples collected at four time-points after apixaban or rivaroxaban administration allowed the calculation of pharmacokinetic parameters. According to the developed multivariable linear regression models, P-gp activity (p < 0.001) and creatinine clearance (CrCl) (p = 0.01) significantly affected apixaban AUC0−6h. P-gp activity (p < 0.001) also significantly impacted rivaroxaban AUC0−6h. The phenotypic switch (from normal to poor metabolizer) of P-gp led to an increase of apixaban and rivaroxaban AUC0−6h by 16% and 25%, respectively, equivalent to a decrease of 38 mL/min in CrCl according to the apixaban model. CYP3A phenotype and tested SNPs of CYP3A/P-gp had no significant impact. In conclusion, P-gp phenotypic activity, rather than known CYP3A/P-gp polymorphisms, could be relevant for dose adjustment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Previous studies evaluating ticagrelor drug-drug interactions have not differentiated intestinal versus systemic mechanisms, which we do here. METHODS Using recently published methodologies from our laboratory to differentiate metabolic- from transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions, a critical evaluation of five published ticagrelor drug-drug interactions was carried out to investigate the purported clinical significance of enzymes and transporters in ticagrelor disposition. RESULTS The suggested CYP3A4 inhibitors, ketoconazole and diltiazem, displayed unchanged mean absorption time (MAT) and time of maximum concentration (Tmax) values as was expected, i.e., the interactions were mainly mediated by metabolic enzymes. The potential CYP3A4/P-gp inhibitor cyclosporine also showed an unchanged MAT value. Further analysis assuming there was no P-gp effect suggested that the increased AUC and unchanged t1/2 for ticagrelor after cyclosporine administration were attributed to the inhibition of intestinal CYP3A4 rather than P-gp. Rifampin, an inducer of CYP3As after multiple dosing, unexpectedly showed decreased MAT and Tmax values, which cannot be completely explained. In contrast, grapefruit juice, an intestinal CYP3A/P-gp/OATP inhibitor, significantly increased MAT and Tmax values for ticagrelor, which may be due to activation of P-gp or inhibition of OATPs expressed in intestine. CONCLUSIONS This study provides new insight into the role of transporter pathways in ticagrelor intestinal absorption by examining potential MAT and Tmax changes mediated by drug-drug interactions.

Abstract
As lead optimization efforts have successfully reduced metabolic liabilities due to cytochrome P450 (CYP)-mediated metabolism, there has been an increase in the frequency of involvement of non-CYP enzymes in the metabolism of investigational compounds. Although there have been numerous notable advancements in the characterization of non-CYP enzymes with respect to their localization, reaction mechanisms, species differences and identification of typical substrates, accurate prediction of non-CYP-mediated clearance, with a particular emphasis with the difficulties in accounting for any extrahepatic contributions, remains a challenge. The current manuscript comprehensively summarizes the recent advancements in the prediction of drug metabolism and the in vitro to in vitro extrapolation of clearance for substrates of non-CYP drug metabolizing enzymes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Upregulation of hepatic P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression has been reported in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and rodent models thereof. Here, we explored the changes hepatic P-gp expression and activity in a NAFLD rat model and the effects thereof on the pharmacokinetics of digoxin (a probe substrate of P-gp). METHODS Rats were fed a 1% (w/w) orotic acid-containing diet for 20 days to induce NAFLD; control rats received a normal diet. P-gp expression and biliary digoxin excretion were examined. The pharmacokinetics of digoxin were evaluated after it had been administered intravenously (10 μg·kg-1 ) and orally (200 μg·kg-1 ) to control and NAFLD rats. RESULTS The total areas under the plasma concentration-time curves (AUCs) of digoxin after intravenous and oral administration were significantly smaller (by 39.1% and 73.0%, respectively) in NAFLD rats because of faster biliary digoxin excretion, reflecting elevations of hepatic P-gp expression and activity. Notably, the steady-state volume of distribution rose by 98.2%, while extent of oral bioavailability fell by 55.5% in NAFLD rats. CONCLUSION This is the first study to report digoxin pharmacokinetic changes caused by hepatic P-gp upregulation in NAFLD. Further studies are needed to explore the clinical impact of enhanced P-gp-mediated biliary excretion on pharmacotherapies using P-gp substrates in patients with NAFLD.

Abstract
PURPOSE The involvement of the intestinally expressed xenobiotic transporters P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) have been implicated in rivaroxaban disposition based on in vitro studies, similar to what had previously been proposed for apixaban. We recently showed that these efflux transporters were not clinically relevant for apixaban disposition and examine here their relevance for this second Factor Xa inhibitor. METHODS Using recently published methodologies to discern metabolic- from transporter- mediated drug interactions, a critical evaluation was undertaken of 9 rivaroxaban studies reporting 12 DDIs, one study of food effects and one study of hepatic function. RESULTS Rationale examination of these clinical studies using basic pharmacokinetic theory finds little support for the clinical significance of intestinal efflux transporters in rivaroxaban disposition. Drug-drug interactions are most likely adequately predicted based on the level of CYP 3A metabolism. CONCLUSION These analyses indicate that inhibition of efflux transporters appears to have negligible, clinically insignificant effects on the rivaroxaban absorption process, which is consistent with the concern that predictions based on in vitro measures may not translate to a clinically relevant interaction in vivo. We emphasize the need to evaluate gastric emptying, dissolution and other processes related to absorption when using MAT changes to indicate efflux transporter inhibition.

Abstract
PURPOSE The involvement of the intestinally expressed xenobiotic transporters P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) have been implicated in apixaban disposition based on in vitro studies. Recommendations against co-administration of apixaban with inhibitors of these efflux transporters can be found throughout the literature as well as in the apixaban FDA label. However, the clinical relevance of such findings is questionable due to the high permeability and high solubility characteristics of apixaban. METHODS Using recently published methodologies to discern metabolic- from transporter- mediated drug-drug interactions, a critical evaluation of all published apixaban drug-drug interaction studies was conducted to investigate the purported clinical significance of efflux transporters in apixaban disposition. RESULTS Rational examination of these clinical studies using basic pharmacokinetic theory does not support the clinical significance of intestinal efflux transporters in apixaban disposition. Further, there is little evidence that efflux transporters are clinically significant determinants of systemic clearance. CONCLUSIONS Inhibition or induction of intestinal CYP3A4 can account for exposure changes of apixaban in all clinically significant drug-drug interactions, and lack of intestinal CYP3A4 inhibition can explain all studies with no exposure changes, regardless of the potential for these perpetrators to inhibit intestinal or systemic efflux transporters.
