- IntroductionRosuvastatin pharmacokinetics is mainly dependent on the activity of hepatic uptake transporter OATP1B1. In this study, we aimed to investigate and disentangle the effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and weight loss on oral clearance (CL/F) of rosuvastatin as a measure of OATP1B1-activity.MethodsPatients with severe obesity preparing for RYGB (n = 40) or diet-induced weight loss (n = 40) were included and followed for 2 years, with four 24-hour pharmacokinetic investigations. Both groups underwent a 3-week low-energy diet (LED; < 1200 kcal/day), followed by RYGB or a 6-week very-low-energy diet (VLED; < 800 kcal/day).ResultsA total of 80 patients were included in the RYGB group (40 patients) and diet-group (40 patients). The weight loss was similar between the groups following LED and RYGB. The LED induced a similar (mean [95% CI]) decrease in CL/F in both intervention groups (RYGB: 16% [0, 31], diet: 23% [8, 38]), but neither induced VLED resulted in any further changes in CL/F. At Year 2, CL/F had increased by 21% from baseline in the RYGB group, while it was unaltered in the diet group. Patients expressing the reduced function SLCO1B1 variants (c.521TC/CC) showed similar changes in CL/F over time compared with patients expressing the wild-type variant.ConclusionsNeither body weight, weight loss nor RYGB per se seem to affect OATP1B1 activity to a clinically relevant degree. Overall, the observed changes in rosuvastatin pharmacokinetics were minor, and unlikely to be of clinical relevance.

- Obesity is associated with comorbidities of which pharmacological treatment is needed. Physiological changes associated with obesity may influence the pharmacokinetics of drugs, but the effect of body weight on drug metabolism capacity remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to investigate ex vivo activities of hepatic drug metabolizing CYP enzymes in patients covering a wide range of body weight. Liver biopsies from 36 individuals with a body mass index (BMI) ranging from 18 to 63 kg/m(2) were obtained. Individual hepatic microsomes were prepared and activities of CYP3A, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP1A2 were determined. The unbound intrinsic clearance (C-Lint,C-u) values for CYP3A correlated negatively with body weight (r = -0.43, p < 0.01), waist circumference (r = -0.47, p < 0.01), hip circumference (r = -0.51, p < 0.01), fat percent (r = -0.41, p < 0.05), fat mass (r = -0.48, p < 0.01) and BMI (r = -0.46, p < 0.01). Linear regression analysis showed that C-Lint,C-u values for CYP3A decreased with 5% with each 10% increase in body weight (r(2) = 0.12, beta = -0.558, p < 0.05). There were no correlations between body weight measures and CLint,u values for the other CYP enzymes investigated. These results indicate reduced hepatic metabolizing capacity of CYP3A substrates in patients with increasing body weight. (C) 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.

- Purpose Variability in cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) metabolism is mainly caused by non-genetic factors, hence providing a need for accurate phenotype biomarkers. Although 4 beta-hydroxycholesterol (4 beta OHC) is a promising endogenous CYP3A4 biomarker, additional investigations are required to evaluate its ability to predict CYP3A4 activity. This study investigated the correlations between 4 beta OHC concentrations and hepatic and intestinal CYP3A4 protein expression and ex vivo microsomal activity in paired liver and jejunum samples, as well as in vivo CYP3A4 phenotyping (midazolam) in patients with a wide body weight range. Methods The patients (n = 96; 78 with obesity and 18 normal or overweight individuals) were included from the COCKTAIL-study (NCT02386917). Plasma samples for analysis of 4 beta OHC and midazolam concentrations, and liver (n = 56) and jejunal (n = 38) biopsies were obtained. The biopsies for determination of CYP3A4 protein concentration and microsomal activity were obtained during gastric bypass or cholecystectomy. In vivo CYP3A4 phenotyping was performed using semi-simultaneous oral (1.5 mg) and intravenous (1.0 mg) midazolam. Results 4 beta OHC concentrations were positively correlated with hepatic microsomal CYP3A4 activity (rho = 0.53, p < 0.001), and hepatic CYP3A4 concentrations (rho = 0.30, p = 0.027), but not with intestinal CYP3A4 concentrations (rho = 0.18, p = 0.28) or intestinal microsomal CYP3A4 activity (rho = 0.15, p = 0.53). 4 beta OHC concentrations correlated weakly with midazolam absolute bioavailability (rho = - 0.23, p = 0.027) and apparent oral clearance (rho = 0.28, p = 0.008), but not with systemic clearance (rho = - 0.03, p = 0.81). Conclusion These findings suggest that 4 beta OHC concentrations reflect hepatic, but not intestinal, CYP3A4 activity. Further studies should investigate the potential value of 4 beta OHC as an endogenous biomarker for individual dose requirements of intravenously administered CYP3A4 substrate drugs.

- Aim Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) may influence drug disposition due to surgery-induced gastrointestinal alterations and/or subsequent weight loss. The objective was to compare short- and long-term effects of RYGB and diet on the metabolic ratios of paraxanthine/caffeine (cytochrome P450 [CYP] 1A2 activity), 5-hydroxyomeprazole/omeprazole (CYP2C19 activity) and losartan/losartan carboxylic acid (CYP2C9 activity), and cross-sectionally compare these CYP-activities with normal-to-overweight controls. Methods This trial included patients with severe obesity preparing for RYGB (n = 40) or diet-induced (n = 41) weight loss, and controls (n = 18). Both weight loss groups underwent a 3-week low-energy diet (<1200 kcal/day, weeks 0-3) followed by a 6-week very-low-energy diet or RYGB (both <800 kcal/day, weeks 3-9). Follow-up time was 2 years, with four pharmacokinetic investigations. Results Mean +/- SD weight loss from baseline was similar in the RYGB-group (13 +/- 2.4%) and the diet group (10.5 +/- 3.9%) at week 9, but differed at year 2 (RYGB -30 +/- 6.9%, diet -3.1 +/- 6.3%). From weeks 0 to 3, mean (95% confidence interval [CI]) CYP2C19 activity similarly increased in both groups (RYGB 43% [16, 55], diet 48% [22, 60]). Mean CYP2C19 activity increased by 30% (2.6, 43) after RYGB (weeks 3-9), but not in the diet-group (between-group difference -0.30 [-0.63, 0.03]). CYP2C19 activity remained elevated in the RYGB group at year 2. Baseline CYP2C19 activity was 2.7-fold higher in controls compared with patients with obesity, whereas no difference was observed in CYP1A2 and CYP2C9 activities. Conclusion Our findings suggest that CYP2C19 activity is lower in patients with obesity and increases following weight loss. This may be clinically relevant for drug dosing. No clinically significant effect on CYP1A2 and CYP2C9 activities was observed.

- It remains uncertain whether pharmacokinetic changes following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) can be attributed to surgery-induced gastrointestinal alterations per se and/or the subsequent weight loss. The aim was to compare short- and long-term effects of RYGB and calorie restriction on CYP3A-activity, and cross-sectionally compare CYP3A-activity with normal weight to overweight controls using midazolam as probe drug. This three-armed controlled trial included patients with severe obesity preparing for RYGB (n = 41) or diet-induced (n = 41) weight-loss, and controls (n = 18). Both weight-loss groups underwent a 3-week low-energy-diet (<1200 kcal/day) followed by a 6-week very-low-energy-diet or RYGB (both <800 kcal/day). Patients were followed for 2 years, with four pharmacokinetic investigations using semisimultaneous oral and intravenous dosing to determine changes in midazolam absolute bioavailability and clearance, within and between groups. The RYGB and diet groups showed similar weight-loss at week 9 (13 +/- 2.4% vs. 11 +/- 3.6%), but differed substantially after 2 years (-30 +/- 7.0% vs. -3.1 +/- 6.3%). At baseline, mean absolute bioavailability and clearance of midazolam were similar in the RYGB and diet groups, but higher compared with controls. On average, absolute bioavailability was unaltered at week 9, but decreased by 40 +/- 7.5% in the RYGB group and 32 +/- 6.1% in the diet group at year 2 compared with baseline, with no between-group difference. No difference in clearance was observed over time, nor between groups. In conclusion, neither RYGB per se nor weight loss impacted absolute bioavailability or clearance of midazolam short term. Long term, absolute bioavailability was similarly decreased in both groups despite different weight loss, suggesting that the recovered CYP3A-activity is not only dependent on weight-loss through RYGB.

- The in vitro affinity of a compound for its target is an important feature in drug discovery, but what remains is how predictive in vitro properties are of in vivo therapeutic drug exposure. We assessed the relationship between in vitro potency and clinically efficacious concentrations for marketed small molecule drugs (n = 164) and how they may differ depending on therapeutic indication, mode of action, receptor type, target localization, and function. Approximately 70% of compounds had a therapeutic unbound plasma exposure lower than in vitro potency; the median ratio of exposure in relation to in vitro potency was 0.32, and 80% had ratios within the range of 0.007 to 8.7. We identified differences in the in vivo-to-in vitro potency ratio between indications, mode of action, target type, and matrix localization, and whether or not the drugs had active metabolites. The in vitro-assay variability contributions appeared to be the smallest; within the same drug target and mode of action the within-variability was slightly broader; but both were substantially less compared with the overall distribution of ratios. These data suggest that in vitro potency conditions, estimated in vivo potency, required level of receptor occupancy, and target turnover are key components for further understanding the link between clinical drug exposure and in vitro potency.
