Efavirenz clearances in vitro and in vivo in six cynomolgus monkeys associated with polymorphic cytochrome P450 2C9 and simulated by individual physiologically based pharmacokinetic models.
Biopharmaceutics & Drug Disposition 2017 October
Cynomolgus monkey cytochrome P450 2C9 (formerly known as P450 2C43) variation was reportedly associated with metabolic clearance of the antiretroviral drug efavirenz in vivo (in three wild-type, one heterozygote and two homozygote animals), being unlikely in the case of human P450 2B6-dependent efavirenz clearance. In this study, the liver microsomal elimination rates of efavirenz for the same individual animals previously treated with intravenous/oral administrations of efavirenz showed significant reductions associated with the P450 2C9 p.[(I112L)] genotype (p < 0.05). Simulations of efavirenz clearance after oral administrations in individual cynomolgus monkeys were performed using individual simplified physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling consisting of gut, liver and central compartments. The modeled hepatic intrinsic clearances were also significantly associated with the P450 2C9 genotypes, however, absorption rate constants or volumes of the systemic circulation were not likely determining factors for the individual efavirenz clearance variations in the six cynomolgus monkeys. This study provides important information to help simulate the clearances of efavirenz and related medicines associated with polymorphic P450 2C9 in individual cynomolgus monkeys, thereby facilitating the calculation of the fraction of liver microsomal clearance for estimating in vivo drug clearance with simplified PBPK modeling.
