The formation of a reactive intermediate was found to be responsible for CYP3A4 metabolism-dependent inhibition (MDI) observed with (S)-N-[1-(3-morpholin-4-ylphenyl)ethyl]-3-phenyl-acrylamide (1). Structure-3A4 MDI relationship studies culminated in the discovery of a difluoro analogue, (S)-N-[1-(4-fluoro-3-morpholin-4-ylphenyl)ethyl]-3-(4-fluoro-phenyl)acrylamide (2), as an orally bioavailable KCNQ2 opener free of CYP3A4 MDI.

The CYP3A7 enzyme accounts for ∼50% of the total cytochrome P450 (P450) content in fetal and neonatal livers and is the predominant P450 involved in neonatal xenobiotic metabolism. Additionally, it is a key player in healthy birth outcomes through the oxidation of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and DHEA-sulfate. The amount of the other hepatic CYP3A isoforms, CYP3A4 and CYP3A5, expressed in neonates is low but highly variable, and therefore the activity of individual CYP3A isoforms is difficult to differentiate due to their functional similarities.

Chemicals in the systemic circulation can undergo hepatic xenobiotic metabolism, generate metabolites, and exhibit altered toxicity compared with their parent compounds. This article describes a 2-chamber liver-organ coculture model in a higher-throughput 96-well format for the determination of toxicity on target tissues in the presence of physiologically relevant human liver metabolism. This 2-chamber system is a hydrogel formed within each well consisting of a central well (target tissue) and an outer ring-shaped trough (human liver tissue).

Consideration of Nevirapine Analogs To Reduce Metabolically Linked Hepatotoxicity: A Cautionary Tale of the Deuteration Approach.

Idiosyncratic drug reactions (IDRs) in their most deleterious form can lead to serious medical complications and potentially fatal events. Nevirapine (NVP), still widely used in developing countries for combinatorial antiretroviral and prophylactic therapies against HIV infection, represents a prototypical example of IDRs causing severe skin rashes and hepatotoxicity. Complex metabolic pathways accompanied by production of multiple reactive metabolites often complicate our understanding of IDR's origin.

Studies support the safety and efficacy of fenfluramine (FFA) as an antiseizure medication (ASM) in Dravet syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, or CDKL5 deficiency disorder, all pharmacoresistant developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. However, drug-drug interactions with FFA in multi-ASM regimens have not been fully investigated. We characterized the perpetrator potential of FFA and its active metabolite, norfenfluramine (nFFA), in vitro by assessing cytochrome P450 (CYP450) inhibition in human liver microsomes, CYP450 induction in cultured human hepatocytes, and drug transporter inhibition potential in permeability or cellular uptake assays.

Direct and Sequential Bioactivation of Pemigatinib to Reactive Iminium Ion Intermediates Culminates in Mechanism-Based Inactivation of Cytochrome P450 3A.

We recently established the mechanism-based inactivation (MBI) of cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) by the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitors erdafitinib and infigratinib. Serendipitously, our preliminary data have also revealed that pemigatinib (PEM), another clinically approved FGFR1-3 inhibitor, similarly elicited time-dependent inhibition of CYP3A. This was rather unexpected, as it was previously purported that PEM did not pose any metabolism-dependent liabilities due to the absence of glutathione-related conjugates in metabolic profiling experiments conducted in human liver microsomes.
