“…In a similar fashion, reversible and time-dependent inhibition experiments, together with enzyme induction experiments, are used to assess the potential for a drug to alter the metabolic capacity of a given metabolic pathway (Foti et al, 2010). In addition to assessment of the DDI potential of the parent drug, metabolites can also contribute to DDI and hence, should be evaluated when appropriate (Isoherranen et al, 2009;Lutz et al, 2010;VandenBrink and Isoherranen, 2010;Yeung et al, 2011;Zamek-Gliszczynski et al, 2014;Prieto Garcia et al, 2018;Marok et al, 2021;Marok et al, 2023). Given their significant role in the metabolism of the majority of marketed drugs, cytochrome P450 enzymes are often the primary focus when conducting an initial DDI assessment, though additional drug metabolizing enzymes such as UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT) and drug transporters such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), need to be evaluated for a thorough assessment of DDI (Cerny, 2016;Foti and Dalvie, 2016;Nishiya et al, 2020).…”
