Aims: Metamizole is quite an old drug with analgesic, antipyretic and spasmolytic properties. Recent findings have shown that it may induce several cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, especially CYP3A4 and CYP2B6. The clinical relevance of these properties is uncertain.

Understanding pharmacokinetics (PK) in children is a prerequisite to determine optimal pediatric dosing. As plasma sampling in children is challenging, alternative PK sampling strategies are needed. In this case study we evaluated the suitability of saliva as alternative PK matrix to simplify studies in infants, investigating metamizole, an analgesic used off-label in infants.

Ferroptosis is a form of non-apoptotic cell death, regulated by phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), a selenoprotein with a selenocysteine residue (sec) in the active site. GPX4 is a promising target for cancer cells in therapy-resistant conditions via ferroptosis, which can reduce the level of lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS). So far, all existing GPX4 inhibitors covalently bind to GPX4 via a reactive alkyl chloride moiety or masked nitrile-oxide electrophiles with poor selectivity and pharmacokinetic properties and most were obtained by cell phenotype-based screening.

Aims: In patients of all ages, metamizole is a frequently used analgesic. Recently, metamizole has been identified as an inducer of, among others, cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A activity, but the time course of this interaction has not been evaluated.
Methods: Using repeated oral microdoses (30 μg) of the CYP3A index substrate midazolam, we assessed changes in midazolam pharmacokinetics (area under the concentration-time curve from 2-4 h: AUC and estimated partial metabolic clearance: eCl ) before, at steady-state, and after discontinuation of 3 × 1000 mg metamizole/day orally for 8 days.
