CPY3A4-Mediated Lopinavir Bioactivation and Its Inhibition by Ritonavir

Abstract: ABSTRACT:The combination of lopinavir (LPV) and ritonavir (RTV) is one of the preferred regimens for the treatment of HIV infection with confirmed efficacy and relatively low toxicity. LPV alone suffers the poor bioavailability due to its rapid and extensive metabolism. RTV boosts the plasma concentration of LPV by suppressing its metabolism and thus increasing LPV efficacy. In the current study, we found that RTV also inhibits LPV bioactivation. LPV bioactivation was investigated in human liver microsomes and… Show more

“…In vitro studies were performed on rat everted gut sacs to determine the role of P-gp in the intestinal transport of felodipine. Everted sacs were incubated with felodipine alone and in combination with 10, 50 and 100 mg/mL of naringenin and ritonavir, standard P-gp and CYP3A4 inhibitor [24][25][26] . The transport of felodipine was increased in presence of naringenin and ritonavir ( Figure 5).…”

“…Effects of naringenin on felodipine transport across gut sac Everted sacs were filled with modified Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate (KRB) buffer (NaCl 6.9 g, KCl 0.35 g, MgSO 4 .7H 2 O 0.29 g, KH 2 PO 4 0.16 g, NaHCO 3 2.1 g, CaCl 2 0.28 g and 0.2% glucose, pH 7.3) containing felodipine 50 mg/mL in the presence or absence of ritonavir 50 mg/mL, standard Cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4 and P-gp inhibitor [24][25][26] and naringenin 50, 100 and 200 mg/mL. Each sac was placed in individual 50 mL Erlenmeyer flasks contain 30 mL of oxygenated (O 2 /CO 2 ; 95:5) KRB and incubated at 37 C for 60 min in a shaker bath.…”

“…13) The INH bioactivation pathway was evaluated in liver microsomes of WT and Cyp3a -null mice. CYP3A-mediated bioactivation of LPV, 14) an HIV protease inhibitor, was used as a positive control. Compared to WT mice, bioactivation of LPV was significantly decreased in liver microsomes of Cyp3a- null mice (Fig.…”

“…The development of computational approaches to estimate pharmacokinetic and toxicity properties facilitates the progression of novel drug candidates 33. The prediction of metabolism or inhibition by the CYP3A4 indicates the need to perform further studies of interaction with drugs that inhibit the enzymes such as ritonavir and lopinavir 34. These compounds are predicted neither to be mutagenic nor to inhibit hERG I; however, interaction with hERG2 is predicted.…”
