A reverse-phase, high-performance liquid chromatography method is described for the quantification of 4'-hydroxymephenytoin formed enzymatically from 14C-labeled (S)-mephenytoin following incubation with cDNA-expressed CYP2C19 or human liver microsomes. Analytical separation is achieved using a C18 column developed with a gradient from 10 to 100% methanol, with detection using a scintillation detector. This method is applicable to enzymatic studies for determination of CYP2C19-catalyzed (S)-mephenytoin 4'-hydroxylation activity.

Despite the importance of mice as a preclinical species in drug testing, their hepatic and extrahepatic drug-metabolising characteristics are poorly understood. Here, we compared the P450-dependent drug oxidation activity in tissue microsomes and distribution patterns of P450 protein/mRNA between humans and mice.The activities of midazolam 1'-/4-hydroxylation in the liver and intestine and chlorzoxazone 6-hydroxylation in the liver were similar in humans and mice.

Hepatic cytochrome P450 (P450)-dependent drug oxidation activity has not been completely characterized in chimeric TK-NOG mice with humanized livers (humanized liver mice). In this study, we examined several drug oxidation activities catalyzed by liver microsomes from humans, humanized liver mice, and TK-NOG mice using 9 P450 substrates. The catalytic activities of liver microsomes from humans and humanized liver mice showed relatively similar rates of oxidation of 7-ethoxyresorufin, coumarin, 7-pentoxyresorufin, flurbiprofen, S-mephenytoin, chlorzoxazone, and midazolam, whereas bufuralol 1'-hydroxylation and propafenone 4'-hydroxylation (rodent-specific propafenone oxidation activity) were higher in humanized liver mice than in humans.

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.

AB-FUBINACA, a synthetic indazole carboxamide cannabinoid, has been used worldwide as a new psychoactive substance. Because drug abusers take various drugs concomitantly, it is necessary to explore potential AB-FUBINACA-induced drug-drug interactions caused by modulation of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters. In this study, the inhibitory effects of AB-FUBINACA on eight major human cytochrome P450s (CYPs) and six uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) of human liver microsomes, and on eight clinically important transport activities including organic cation transporters (OCT)1 and OCT2, organic anion transporters (OAT)1 and OAT3, organic anion transporting polypeptide transporters (OATP)1B1 and OATP1B3, P-glycoprotein, and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) in transporter-overexpressing cells were investigated.

Here, we report the application of a novel hepatocyte system, the cofactor-supplemented permeabilized cryopreserved human hepatocytes [MetMax human hepatocytes (MMHHs)] in a higher-throughput 384-well plate assay for the evaluation of cytochrome P450 (P450) inhibition. The assay was created to develop physiologically relevant P450 inhibition information, taking advantage of the complete organelle composition and their associated drug-metabolizing enzymes of the MMHH but with the ease of use of human liver microsomes, including storage at -80°C instead of in liquid nitrogen, and thaw and use without centrifugation and microscopic evaluation as required for intact hepatocytes. Nine key P450 isoforms for drug metabolism (CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, and CYP3A4) were evaluated using multiple isoform-selective inhibitors.
