“…Apart from individual differences between the substrates, the isoforms UGT2B7, UGT1A3, UGT1A9, and UGT1A8 used all tested compounds as substrates. The rank order UGT2B7 Ͼ Ͼ UGT1A3 Ϸ UGT1A9 for glucuronidation of carboxylic acids was also reported by Sakaguchi et al (2004). UGT1A8 was not included in the present investigation, but because of its low substrate specificity it may also be involved in the formation of M1.…”

ABSTRACT:2-[6-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-7-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolizin-5-yl] acetic acid (licofelone) is a dual inhibitor of both cyclooxygenase isoforms and 5-lipoxygenase and under development for treatment of osteoarthritis. In conventional in vitro assays using liver microsomes and NADPH as cosubstrate, a high metabolic stability of licofelone was observed. In the presence of UDPglucuronic acid, licofelone is rapidly converted into the corresponding acyl glucuronide, M1. These results are in conflict with data from clinical studies. After administration of licofelone to humans, M1 plasma concentrations were negligibly low, whereas the exposure of the hydroxy-metabolite M2 achieved values of approximately 20% compared with that of the parent drug. Metabolism studies with human hepatocytes and dual-activity assays with microsomes, which allowed the simultaneous monitoring of hydroxylation and glucuronidation reactions, were performed, and the metabolic pathway of licofelone was elucidated. After glucuronidation, predominantly catalyzed by UDP glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) isoforms UGT2B7, UGT1A9, and UGT1A3, M1 is converted into the hydroxy-glucuronide M3 in a CYP2C8-dependent reaction. The enzyme specificities were investigated using recombinant human cytochrome P450 and UGT isoforms as test systems. In vitro drug-interaction studies using the 6␣-hydroxylation of paclitaxel as control reaction confirmed that neither licofelone nor M1 is a relevant inhibitor of CYP2C8. The formation of M3 was also observed with liver microsomes from cynomolgus monkeys, but in incubations with mouse and rat liver microsomes, M1 remained unchanged. The clinical relevance of these findings is discussed.

“…20) Separately, NSAIDs taken into tubular cells are also converted into glucuronide conjugates mainly by uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucuronosyl transferase (UGT) 2B7. 21,22) Most NSAIDs-Glu molecules are excreted directly into urine. 23,24) Recently, our laboratory reported that NSAIDs-Glu, as well as parent NSAIDs, are involved in inhibition of urinary excretion of MTX via MRP2 and MRP4.…”

Inhibition of Methotrexate Uptake <i>via</i> Organic Anion Transporters OAT1 and OAT3 by Glucuronides of Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs

Combination therapy of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and methotrexate (MTX) sometimes triggers adverse effects, such as liver injury, renal failure, gastrointestinal disorders, and myelosuppression, owing to the reduction of MTX clearance. Previous reports have suggested that NSAIDs inhibit renal MTX uptake via organic anion transporters (OATs) and reduced folate transporter (RFC)-1 and efflux via multidrug resistance-associated proteins (MRPs). Recently, our laboratory found inhibitory effects of NSAIDs-glucuronide (NSAIDs-Glu), a major metabolite of NSAIDs, on MRP-mediated MTX transport as a new site of interaction between MTX and NSAIDs. However, it remains unclear that whether NSAIDsGlu inhibit renal uptake of MTX. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate inhibitory effects of several NSAIDs-Glu (diclofenac, R-and S-ibuprofen, R-and S-flurbiprofen, and R-and S-naproxen) on human OAT1 and OAT3-mediated MTX transport. In this study, [ 3 H]MTX uptake was observed by using human OAT1 and OAT3-overexpressing HEK293 cells in the presence or absence of NSAIDs-Glu. All examined NSAIDs-Glu exhibited concentration-dependent inhibitory effects on MTX uptake via OAT1 and OAT3. Our results indicated that NSAIDs-Glu are more potent (5-to 15-fold) inhibitors of OAT3 than OAT1. Moreover, stereoselective inhibitory effects of NSAIDs-Glu on OATs-mediated MTX uptake were not observed, unlike on MRPs-mediated transport. These findings suggest that inhibition of OAT1 and OAT3-mediated renal uptake of MTX by plasma NSAIDs-Glu may be one of the competitive sites underlying complex drug interaction between MTX and NSAIDs.Key words drug interaction; methotrexate; non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug; glucuronide; organic anion transporter Although methotrexate (MTX) is often co-administered with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and neoplastic diseases, several NSAIDs, such as ketoprofen, indomethacin, naproxen, and diclofenac, reduce MTX clearance. Thus, combined administration of MTX and NSAIDs can result in elevated plasma MTX concentrations and severe adverse effects, such as liver injury, renal failure, gastrointestinal disorders, and myelosuppression. [1][2][3][4][5] In fact, the MTX prescribers' information states that combined use of MTX and NSAIDs may increase plasma MTX concentrations and adverse effects.MTX is primarily excreted in urine via glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion in its unchanged form.6) At a clinical plasma concentration of MTX (0.2-10 µM), approximately 25% of renal clearance is excreted by glomerular filtration and the remaining 75% is excreted by active tubular secretion. 7)In the tubular secretory process, organic anion transporters (OAT) 1 and 3 and reduced folate carrier (RFC)-1 transport MTX from the blood across the basolateral membrane.

“…The phase II metabolism of ibuprofen involves glucuronidation by uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) isoenzymes 1A9, 1A3, 2B1, and 2B7, of which UGT2B7 has the highest in vitro activity with racemic ibuprofen (15). Most of ibuprofen is metabolised and the major route of ibuprofen excretion is through the kidney and just a small percentage of the parent drug is excreted unchanged in urine.…”

Interindividual variability in drug metabolism is an important cause of adverse drug reactions and variability in drug efficiency. Polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 (CYPs) genes have a significant effect on drug metabolism and toxicity. This review brings an update about how genetic polymorphisms of CYP2C8 and CYP2C9 enzymes affect the disposition and clinical outcomes of ibuprofen and diclofenac, two of the most common pain relievers. The most common side effects associated with the influence of CYP2C8*3 and CYP2C9*2*3 variants on ibuprofen and diclofenac pharmacokinetics are hepatotoxicity and gastrointestinal bleeding. CYP genotyping may therefore identify patients at increased risk of these adverse reactions, and these patients could have their doses adjusted or start receiving another NSAID that does not share the same metabolic pathways with ibuprofen or diclofenac. However, before genotyping is introduced into regular clinical practice, more research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of this strategy in improving treatment with ibuprofen and diclofenac.
