Time-dependent inhibition (TDI) of cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes caused by new molecular entities (NMEs) is concern because such compounds can be responsible for clinically relevant drug-drug interactions (DDI). Although the biochemistry underlying mechanism-based inactivation (MBI) has been generally understood several years, significant advances have made only in past few years regarding how vitro time-dependent data used to understand and predict clinical DDI. In this article, a team...

Abstract Performance evaluation of accurate mass measurement by the LTQ/Orbitrap, at a resolving power 60 000 and in external calibration mode, indicated that Orbitrap is capable providing high accuracy <2 ppm for over 24 h post‐calibration. This, together with limited trade‐off between sensitivity plus wide dynamic range accuracy, suggested LTQ/Orbitrap an ideal analytical tool structural elucidation metabolites. The application to identification human liver microsomal metabolites...

TAK-875, a GPR40 agonist, was withdrawn from Phase III clinical trials due to drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Mechanistic studies were conducted identify potential DILI hazards (covalent binding burden (CVB), hepatic transporter inhibition, mitochondrial toxicity, and toxicity in rats) associated with TAK-875. Treatment of hepatocytes radiolabeled TAK-875 resulted CVB 2.0 mg/day, which is above the threshold 1 mg/day considered be risk for DILI. Covalent formation reactive acyl glucuronide...

Abstract Non‐covalent binding of antibiotics to their target ligands represents a form molecular recognition which is considerable contemporary interest in bioorganic and bioanalytical chemistry. The vancomycin antibiotics, including ristocetin, are family complex glycopeptides bind specifically the C ‐terminal sequence X‐D‐Ala‐D‐Ala, where × L ‐lysine, ‐diaminopimelic acid, ‐alanine or ‐homoserine. It shown that non‐covalent complexation ristocetin with peptide solution, key phenomenon...

A strategy is proposed to profile compounds for mechanism-based inactivation of CYP3A4, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, and CYP1A2 based on an apparent partition ratio screen. Potent positives from the screen are confirmed by time- concentration-dependent assays. Quasi-irreversible inhibitions then differentiated irreversible inactivations oxidation with potassium ferricyanide and/or dialysis. The three-step screening procedure has been validated acceptable accuracy precision detection confirmation...

Drug toxicity during the development of candidate pharmaceuticals is leading cause discontinuation in preclinical drug discovery and development. Traditionally, often determined by histological examination, clinical pathology, detection drugs and/or metabolites liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS). While these techniques individually provide information on pathological effects metabolites, they cannot specific molecular spatial without additional experiments. Matrix-assisted laser...

The bioavailability of an oral nonaqueous solution sirolimus was compared under fasting conditions and after a high‐fat meal in randomized, two‐way crossover pharmacokinetic study. Healthy volunteers were administered 15 mg single dose on two occasions, once while consumption breakfast. Whole blood concentrations assayed by using validated method with high‐performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometric detection. Sirolimus absorbed more slowly when than fasting, as shown...

Recent European Medicines Agency (final) and US Food Drug Administration (draft) drug interaction guidances proposed that human circulating metabolites should be investigated in vitro for their drug-drug (DDI) potential if present at ≥ 25% of the parent area under time-concentration curve (AUC) (US Administration) or 10% total drug-related AUC (European Agency). To examine application these regulatory recommendations, a group scientists, representing 18 pharmaceutical companies Metabolism...
