Aims: To further evaluate mephenytoin as a probe for CYP2C19 phenotyping.
Methods: Healthy subjects (n = 2638) were phenotyped using the urinary (S)-mephenytoin to (R)-mephenytoin ratio. This method was evaluated for (a) the stability of the S/R-ratio following sample storage, (b) the intraindividual reproducibility of the ratio, and (c) the occurrence of adverse events.
Results: After prolonged storage, the S/R-ratio of samples from extensive metabolisers (EM) increased up to 85%. In 1.5% of the cases (1 out 66), this led to incorrect classification of phenotype. In EMs, but not in poor metabolisers (PMs), the S/R-ratio increased after acid treatment. The intraindividual reproducibility of the mephenytoin phenotyping procedure was 28%. No major side-effects were observed and there was no relationship between the incidence of side-effects and the phenotype of the subject.
Conclusions: After prolonged storage the S/R-ratio significantly increased in EMs and, although low, the risk of incorrect classification should not be ignored. Our data support the use of mephenytoin as a safe drug for CYP2C19 phenotyping.

Inhibitory mechanism of vortioxetine on CYP450 enzymes in human and rat liver microsomes.

Vortioxetine is a novel anti-major depression disorder drug with a high safety profile compared with other similar drugs. However, little research has been done on drug-drug interactions (DDI) about vortioxetine. In this paper, the inhibitory effect of vortioxetine on cytochrome P450 (CYP450) and the type of inhibitory mechanism were investigated in human and rat liver microsomes.

Purpose: Pregnancy-mediated physiological and biochemical changes contribute to alterations in the pharmacokinetics of certain drugs. There is a paucity of data on the systematic evaluation of the underlying mechanisms. The objective of the current study was to examine the impact of changes in circulating and tissue hormonal concentration during the late stage of pregnancy on the activity and expression of hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes using a cocktail probe approach.

Vicagrel, an antiplatelet drug candidate targeting platelet P2Y receptor and has finished its phase II clinical trial. The inhibition of six major cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450) (CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4) and six UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT) (UGT1A1, UGT1A3, UGT1A4, UGT1A6, UGT1A9, and UGT2B7) by vicagrel was evaluated using pooled human liver microsomes and specific probe substrates. Physiology-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) simulation was further applied to predict the in vivo drug-drug interaction (DDI) potential between vicagrel and bupropion as well as S-mephenytoin.

We developed an in vitro high-throughput cocktail assay with nine major drug-metabolizing CYP enzymes, optimized for screening of time-dependent inhibition. The method was applied to determine the selectivity of the time-dependent CYP2C8 inhibitors gemfibrozil 1-O-β-glucuronide and clopidogrel acyl-β-D-glucuronide. In vitro incubations with CYP selective probe substrates and pooled human liver microsomes were conducted in 96-well plates with automated liquid handler techniques and metabolite concentrations were measured with quantitative UHPLC-MS/MS analysis.

Background: Authors compared plasma concentrations of citalopram (CIT) enantiomers and their metabolites in patients with depression administered either intravenously (IV) or as oral racemic CIT. Then, plasma concentrations were related to the metabolism of probes used for phenotyping patients with depression for CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 activity and cardiovascular functions.
Methods: Dextromethorphan-mephenytoin-phenotyped patients with depression were administered racemic CIT (days 1 and 2: 20 mg/d; days 3-10: 40 mg/d) either orally or as a slow-drop infusion for 10 days and were then orally administered the drug for another 32 days.
