In the drug discovery process, it is important to know the properties of both drug candidates and their metabolites. Fast and precise prediction of metabolites is essential. However, it has been difficult to predict metabolites because of the complexity of the mechanism of cytochrome P450/3A4 (CYP 3A4), which is the main metabolite enzyme of drugs. In this study, we focus on the regioselectivity of CYP 3A4, i.e., the selectivity of metabolic sites. We have developed a model to predict the regioselectivity of drug candidates by using machine learning (ML) approaches.

The effect of the use of omeprazole versus famotidine on the kidney transplant function: a randomized controlled study.
Sci Rep

Department of General and Transplant Surgery, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 61-701, Poznan, Poland.
Tacrolimus is metabolized in the liver with the participation of cytochrome P450 isoforms 3A4 and 3A5 (CYP3A4, CYP3A5). Omeprazole, unlike famotidine, is a substrate and inhibitor of CYP2C19, CYP3A4, CYP3A5 enzymes. The aim of the study is to compare the effect of omeprazole and famotidine on the tacrolimus concentration and the kidney transplant function.

A new series of 13 ritonavir-like inhibitors of human drug-metabolizing CYP3A4 was rationally designed to study the R side-group and R end-group interplay when the R side-group is represented by phenyl. Spectral, functional, and structural characterization showed no improvement in the binding affinity and inhibitory potency of R/R-phenyl inhibitors upon elongation and/or fluorination of R-Boc (tert-butyloxycarbonyl) or its replacement with benzenesulfonyl. When R is pyridine, the impact of R-phenyl-to-indole/naphthalene substitution was multidirectional and highly dependent on side-group stereo configuration.

Aripiprazole (ARI) is an atypical antipsychotic which is a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), a transmembrane glycoprotein that plays a crucial role in eliminating potentially harmful compounds from the organism. ARI once-monthly (AOM) is a long-acting injectable form which improves treatment compliance. Genetic polymorphisms in ABCB1 may lead to changes in P-gp function, leading to individual differences in drug disposition.

Different polymorphisms in genes encoding metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters have been associated with tacrolimus pharmacokinetics. In particular, studies on CYP3A4 and CYP3A5, and their combined cluster have demonstrated their significance in adjusting tacrolimus dosing to minimize under- and overexposure thereby increasing the proportion of patients who achieve tacrolimus therapeutic target. Many factors influence the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus, contributing to inter-patient variability affecting individual dosing requirements.
