CYP-associated drug-drug interactions: A mission accomplished?

Arch Toxicol

Published: November 2020

On the basis of official Finnish Medicines Authority (Fimea)-approved drug monographs, less than half of the approved small-molecule drugs between 2007 and 2016 were substrates, inhibitors or inducers of CYP enzymes, predominantly of CYP3A4. No significant unexpected, life-threatening, CYP-associated drug-drug interactions (CYP-DDIs) of newly approved drug entities have been observed in the last 10-15 years. The present analysis seems to suggest that tools to study and predict potentially significant CYP-DDIs are working and efficient.

Evacetrapib is an investigational cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitor (CETPi) for reduction of risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with high-risk vascular disease. Understanding evacetrapib disposition, metabolism, and the potential for drug-drug interactions (DDI) may help guide prescribing recommendations. In vitro, evacetrapib metabolism was investigated with a panel of human recombinant cytochromes P450 (CYP).

Tobacco smoking effect on HIV-1 pathogenesis: role of cytochrome P450 isozymes.

Expert Opin Drug Metab Toxicol

November 2013

University of Missouri Kansas City, School of Pharmacy, Division of Pharmacology & Toxicology , Kansas City, MO 64108 , USA.

Introduction: Tobacco smoking is highly prevalent among the HIV-1-infected population. In addition to diminished immune response, smoking has been shown to increase HIV-1 replication and decrease response to antiretroviral therapy, perhaps through drug-drug interaction. However, the mechanism by which tobacco/nicotine increases HIV-1 replication and mediates drug-drug interaction is poorly understood.

Inferring drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is an essential step in drug development and drug administration. Most computational inference methods focus on modeling drug pharmacokinetics, aiming at interactions that result from a common metabolizing enzyme (CYP). Here, we introduce a novel prediction method, INDI (INferring Drug Interactions), allowing the inference of both pharmacokinetic, CYP-related DDIs (along with their associated CYPs) and pharmacodynamic, non-CYP associated ones.

Enzyme kinetics for clinically relevant CYP inhibition.

Curr Drug Metab

June 2005

Drug Disposition, Eisai Research Institute, Andover, MA 01810, USA.

In vitro cytochrome P450 (CYP)-associated metabolic studies have been considered cost-effective for predicting the potential clinical drug-drug interactions (DDIs), one of the major attritions in drug development. The breakthroughs during the past decade in understanding the biochemistry of CYP-mediated biotransformation and molecular biology of CYP gene regulation in humans have provided the scientific bases for such endeavors in early drug development. In this review, the enzyme kinetics of CYP inhibitions is described, with the primary focus on the ones proven with clinical relevance, namely the competitive inhibition and mechanism-based inactivation (MBI).
