Although great progress has been made in the fine-tuning of diplotypes, there is still a need to further improve the predictability of individual phenotypes of pharmacogenetically relevant enzymes. The aim of this study was to analyze the additional contribution of sex and variants identified by exome chip analysis to the metabolic ratio of five probe drugs. A cocktail study applying dextromethorphan, losartan, omeprazole, midazolam, and caffeine was conducted on 200 healthy volunteers. CYP2D6, 2C9, 2C19, 3A4/5, and 1A2 genotypes were analyzed and correlated with metabolic ratios...

Piperlonguminine (PLG) is a major alkaloid found in Piper longum fruits. It has been shown to possess a variety of biological activities, including anti-tumor, anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-renal fibrosis and anti-inflammatory properties. Previous studies have reported that PLG inhibits various CYP450 enzymes. The main objective of this study was to identify reactive metabolites of PLG in vitro and assess its ability to inhibit CYP450. In rat and human liver microsomal incubation systems exposed to PLG, two oxidized metabolites (M1 and M2) were detected...

Cytochrome P450 enzymes are a superfamily of enzymes responsible for the metabolism of a variety of medicines and xenobiotics. Among the Cytochrome P450 family, five isozymes that include 1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4 are most important for the metabolism of xenobiotics. Inhibition of any of these five CYP isozymes causes drug-drug interactions with high pharmacological and toxicological effects. So, the inhibition or non-inhibition prediction of these isozymes is of great importance. Many techniques based on machine learning and deep learning algorithms are currently being used to predict whether these isozymes will be inhibited or not...

In the current study, chromatographic and in silico techniques were applied to investigate the biotransformation of ethyl 5-(4-bromophenyl)-1-(2-(2-(2-hydroxybenzylidene) hydrazinyl)-2-oxoethyl)-2-methyl-1 H -pyrrole-3-carboxylate ( 11b ) in hepatocytic media. The initial chromatographic procedure was based on the employment of the conventional octadecyl stationary phase method for estimation of the chemical stability. Subsequently, a novel and rapid chromatographic approach based on a phenyl-hexyl column was developed, aiming to separate the possible metabolites...

Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the psychoactive constituent of cannabis. It is cleared predominantly via metabolism. Metabolism to 11-OH-THC by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 has been proposed as the main clearance pathway of THC, with the estimated fraction metabolized (fm ) about 70 %. The remaining clearance pathways are not well established, and it is unknown how THC is eliminated in individuals with reduced CYP2C9 activity. The goal of this study was to systematically identify the CYP enzymes contributing to THC clearance and characterize the metabolites formed...

Liver fatty acid binding protein (FABP1) binds diverse endogenous lipids and is highly expressed in the human liver. Binding to FABP1 alters the metabolism and homeostasis of endogenous lipids in the liver. Drugs have also been shown to bind to rat FABP1, but limited data is available for human FABP1 (hFABP1). FABP1 has a large binding pocket and up to two fatty acids can bind to FABP1 simultaneously. We hypothesized that drug binding to hFABP1 results in formation of ternary complexes and that FABP1 binding alters drug metabolism...

The escalating focus on the environmental occurrence and toxicology of emerging pollutants underscores the imperative need for a profound exploration of their metabolic transformations mediated by human CYP450 enzymes. Such investigations have the potential to unravel the intricate metabolite profiles, substantially altering the toxicological outcomes. In this study, we integrated the computational simulations with in vitro metabolism experiments to investigate the metabolic activity and mechanism of an emerging pollutant, 1,3,5-tris(2,3-dibromopropyl)-1,3,5-triazinane-2,4,6-trione (TDBP-TAZTO), catalyzed by human CYP450s...

Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are involved in the metabolism of approximately 75% of marketed drugs. Inhibition of the major drug-metabolizing P450s could alter drug metabolism and lead to undesirable drug-drug interactions. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore the inhibition of P450s in drug discovery. Currently, machine learning including deep learning algorithms has been widely used for constructing in silico models for the prediction of P450 inhibition. These models exhibited varying predictive performance depending on the use of machine learning algorithms and molecular representations...

Data are presented on the formation of potentially toxic metabolites of drugs that are substrates of human drug metabolizing enzymes. The tabular data lists the formation of potentially toxic/reactive products. The data were obtained from in vitro experiments and showed that the oxidative reactions predominate (with 96% of the total potential toxication reactions). Reductive reactions (e.g., reduction of nitro to amino group and reductive dehalogenation) participate to the extent of 4%. Of the enzymes, cytochrome P450 (P450, CYP) enzymes catalyzed 72% of the reactions, myeloperoxidase (MPO) 7%, flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) 3%, aldehyde oxidase (AOX) 4%, sulfotransferase (SULT) 5%, and a group of minor participating enzymes to the extent of 9%...

Fluvastatin is a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase inhibitor that competitively inhibits human cytochrome P450 (P450) 2C9 in vitro. Drug interactions between a variety of P450 2C9 substrates/inhibitors and fluvastatin can increase the incidence of fluvastatin-related hepatic or skeletal muscle toxicity in vivo. In this survey, the prescribed dosage of fluvastatin was reduced or discontinued in 133 of 164 patients receiving fluvastatin alone, as recorded in the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database of spontaneously reported events...

Warfarin is a widely used anticoagulant, and its S-enantiomer has higher potency compared to the R-enantiomer. S-warfarin is mainly metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9, and its pharmacological target is vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1). Both CYP2C9 and VKORC1 have genetic polymorphisms, leading to large variations in the pharmacokinetics (PKs) and pharmacodynamics (PDs) of warfarin in the population. This makes dosage management of warfarin difficult, especially in the case of drug-drug interactions (DDIs)...

Belinostat was approved in 2014 for the treatment of relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma, however, there was insufficient data to recommend a dose in patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment. The purpose of this analysis was to characterize the pharmacokinetic disposition of belinostat and its five metabolites in patients with advanced cancers and varying degrees of liver dysfunction. A population pharmacokinetic model was therefore developed to describe the parent-metabolite system...

Human liver microsomes containing various drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes, along with their NADPH-reductase bound to phospholipid membranes, were absorbed onto 1-pyrene butylamine pi-pi stacked with amine-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube-modified graphite electrodes. The interfaced microsomal biofilm demonstrated direct electrochemical communication with the underlying electrode surface and enhanced oxygen reduction electrocatalytic activity typical of heme enzymes such as P450s over the unmodified electrodes and nonenzymatic currents...

Time-dependent inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes has been observed for a few glucuronide metabolites of clinically used drugs. Here, we investigated the inhibitory potential of 16 glucuronide metabolites towards nine major CYP enzymes in vitro. Automated substrate cocktail methods were used to screen time-dependent inhibition of CYP1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2J2 and 3A in human liver microsomes. Seven glucuronides (carvedilol β-D-glucuronide, diclofenac acyl-β-D-glucuronide, 4-hydroxyduloxetine β-D-glucuronide, ezetimibe phenoxy-β-D-glucuronide, raloxifene 4'-glucuronide, repaglinide acyl-β-D-glucuronide and valproic acid β-D-glucuronide) caused NADPH- and time-dependent inhibition of at least one of the CYPs investigated, including CYP2A6, CYP2C19 and CYP3A...

In vitro time-dependent inhibition (TDI) kinetic parameters for cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, and 2D6, were determined in pooled human liver microsomes for 19 drugs (and 2 metabolites) for which clinical drug-drug interactions (DDI) are known. In vitro TDI data were incorporated into the projection of the magnitude of DDIs using mechanistic static models and Simcyp®. Results suggest that for the mechanistic static model, use of estimated average unbound exit concentration of the inhibitor from the liver resulted in a successful prediction of observed magnitude of clinical DDIs and was similar to Simcyp®...

1. To assess the effect of Rehmannioside A on CYP450s activity and to estimate its inhibitory properties. 2. The effect of Rehmannioside A on the activity of major CYP450s in human liver microsomes (HLMs) was assessed with the corresponding substrates and marker reactions, and compared with a blank control and the respective inhibitors. Suppression of CYP3A4, 2C9 and 2D6 was assessed by the dose-dependent assay and fitted with non-competitive or competitive inhibition models. The inhibition of CYP3A4 was determined in a time-dependent manner...

BACKGROUND: Voriconazole is an antifungal drug for which therapeutic monitoring is recommended to prevent side effects. Temporary administration of the antiemetic drug fosaprepitant remarkably decreases the plasma concentration of voriconazole from the therapeutic range. The ratio of the major metabolite voriconazole N -oxide to voriconazole exceeded that at any other time for a patient who started chemotherapy during voriconazole therapy. We attributed this unpredictable result to cytochrome P450 3A4 induced by aprepitant that was converted from fosaprepitant in vivo...

Zearalenone (ZEN) is a mycoestrogen produced by Fusarium fungi. ZEN is a frequent contaminant in cereal-based products, representing significant health threat. The major reduced metabolites of ZEN are α-zearalenol (α-ZEL) and β-zearalenol (β-ZEL). Since the toxicokinetic interactions of ZEN/ZELs with cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) and organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) have been barely characterized, we examined these interactions applying in vitro models. ZEN and ZELs were relatively strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 and moderate inhibitors of CYP1A2 and CYP2C9...

Binding to FABP1 alters the metabolism and homeostasis of endogenous lipids in the liver. Drugs have also been shown to bind to rat FABP1, but limited data is available for human FABP1 (hFABP1). FABP1 has a large binding pocket and multiple fatty acids can bind to FABP1 simultaneously. We hypothesized that drug binding to hFABP1 results in formation of ternary complexes and that FABP1 binding alters drug metabolism...

INTRODUCTION: (-)-Δ9 -tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the main psychoactive component of cannabis. Cannabis is the most widely used drug of abuse by pregnant individuals, but its maternal-fetal safety is still unclear. The changes in THC exposure and metabolism due to pregnancy may alter the safety profile of cannabis in the pregnant individual and in the fetus. AREAS COVERED: This review summarizes the current literature on THC metabolism and pharmacokinetics in humans...
