Full textBackground: CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 are enzymes from the cytochrome P450 resposible for the biotransformation of endogenous steroids and several drugs, e.g. statins. Polymorphisms in CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 (CYP3A4*1B, CYP3A5*3C and CYP3A5*1D) have been associated with variation of lipid-lowering response in individuals treated with atorvastatin and simvastatin. In this study we evaluated the effect of hypolipemiants on expression and activity of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5, in HepG2 and Caco-2 cell lines as well as peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in hypercholesterolemic individuals, and their relationship with CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 variants. Methods: We analyzed 99 normolipidemic individuals (NL) and 139 hypercholesterolemic (HC). HC subjects were treated with atorvastatin (HC, 10 mg/day/4 weeks). Analysis of CYP3A4*1B, CYP3A5*3C e CYP3A5*1D variants was performed with PCR-RFLP or sequencing assays and mRNA expression of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 with Quantitative Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed . Total protein content was extracted from HepG2 for Western Blotting experiments. Activity of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 in vivo was evaluated by 6βOH-cortisol and cortisol ratio in urine samples, by HPLC-UV method. Results: Baseline mRNA expression is different for HepG2 and Caco-2. Caco-2 expresses 31 times more CYP3A4 and 122 times more CYP3A5 than HepG2. In HepG2 cells treated for 12h, atorvastatin 20 µM increased CYP3A4 expression in 10 times, when compared to the control (p=0.006). After 24h treatment, atorvastatin (1-20 µM) increased CYP3A4 mRNA expression in 5 to 8 times, in HepG2 (p< 0.001). To CYP3A5, exposure for 12h to atorvastatin 20 µM increased expression in 4 times when compared to the control (p<0.001). Exposure to simvastatin 1.0 µM for 24 h increased CYP3A4 expression in 2 times, (p<0.01), in HepG2. With the 24h treatment,simvastatin (0.1 µM - 10 µM) CYP3A5 showed increased mRNA expression in 2 to 4 times (p<0.05). HepG2 cell line carries homozygous functional alleles (CYP3A4*1A e CYP3A5*1A). Caco-2 carries heterozygous CYP3A5*3C and CYP3A5*1D. We evaluated the protein expression of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 with Western Blotting in HepG2 cells, after atorvastatin (0.1 - 20 µM) and simvastatin (0.01 - 10 µM) for 12 and 24 h. The proteins profile did not change with statins treatment. In PBMC, baseline mRNA expression of CYP3A4 is approximately 2.6 to 9.5 times higher than CYP3A5 (p< 0.05). There was a correlation in expression between CYP3A4 and CYP3A5, before (r2 = 0.22; p< 0.0001) and after treatment (r2 = 0.58; p<0.0001) with atorvastatin. Baseline mRNA expression of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 is higher in (NL) than in (HC) (p<0.05). Atorvastatin treatment did not increase CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 mRNA in PBMC (p>0.05). CYP3A4/5 activity was higher in NL subjects than in HC (p<0.0001). Atorvastatin treatment did not affect CYP3A4/5 activity in HC (p>0.05). The studied variants CYP3A4*1B, CYP3A5*3C e CYP3A5*1D analyzed as a haplotype block did not affect response to treatment, mRNA expression or activity of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5. However, AGT haplotype showed lower CYP3A5 mRNA expression levels when compared to GAC and GAT haplotypes at baseline (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study allow us to conclude that atorvastatin and simvastatin, but not ezetimibe, influence the expression of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 mRNA in vitro in HepG2 cell line, but this effect was not reproduced in Caco-2 cell line or PBMC. CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 present great interindividual variability, despite the individual´s haplotype and is not influenced by atorvastatin.

Full textDer Einfluss von verschiedenen Vitamin E-Formen und antioxidativen Pflanzeninhaltsstoffen in Form von Reinsubstanzen (Curcumin, EGCG, Medox, Quercetin, Resveratrol und Sulforaphan) oder Pflanzenextrakten (aus Blaubeeren, Gewürznelken, Himbeeren, Nelkenpfeffer, Thymian oder Walnüssen) auf die Aktivierung von PXR und Nrf2 sowie des Promotors eines jeweiligen Zielgens (CYP3A4 bzw. GI-GPx) wurde in vitro mit Reportergenplasmiden untersucht. Es zeigte sich, dass sowohl Vitamin E-Formen als auch verschiedene sekundäre Pflanzeninhaltsstoffe PXR und/oder Nrf2 sowie die Promotoren der jeweiligen Zielgene CYP3A4 bzw. GI-GPx aktivieren. In einem Tierexperiment konnte diese genregulatorische Wirkung von Vitamin E auf die in vivo-Situation übertragen werden. In Lebern von Mäusen, deren Futter unterschiedliche Mengen von Vitamin E enthielt (Mangel-, Normal- und Überflussdiät), wurde eine direkte Korrelation zwischen der alpha-Tocopherol-Konzentration und der Cyp3a11 mRNA-Expression nachgewiesen (Cyp3a11 ist das murine Homolog zum humanen CYP3A4). Entgegen der in vitro-Situation hatte gamma-Tocotrienol in vivo einen nur kaum nachweisbaren Effekt auf die Expression der Cyp3a11 mRNA, induzierte aber die Expression der alpha-TTP mRNA. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass Vitamin E und sekundäre Pflanzeninhaltsstoffe Phase I- und Phase II-Enzyme transkriptionell regulieren können.
Die Wirkungen des Vitamin E können sich allerdings nur entfalten, wenn die Vitamin E-Formen ausreichend vom Körper aufgenommen werden. Gegenstand der Dissertation waren daher auch Untersuchungen zur Bioverfügbarkeit (zelluläre Akkumulation und Metabolismus) verschiedener Vitamin E-Formen. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass Unterschiede in der chemischen Struktur der Vitamin E-Formen deren zelluläre Akkumulation und Metabolisierung beeinflussen.
Unter Berücksichtigung der Ergebnisse der Dissertation lassen sich protektive Wirkungen von antioxidativen Nahrungsinhaltsstoffen auch unabhängig von ihren antioxidativen Eigenschaften über die Induktion zelleigener Schutzsysteme, einschließlich der Phase I- und Phase II-Enzyme, erklären. Die Induktion der zelleigenen Abwehr lässt sich auch als adaptive Antwort (sog. "adaptive response") des Organismus gegenüber zellschädigenden Ereignissen betrachten.
In the organism food compounds are involved in regulatory and metabolic processes although the mechanisms of their effects have not been completely elucidated yet. Like vitamin E, secondary plant compounds have diverse biological effects, both in cell systems as well as in vivo. However, the explanation thereof is often reduced to their antioxidative capacity. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the influence of vitamin E and other plant compounds (in form of plant extracts or isolated secondary plant compounds, e.g. polyphenols), which were up to now classified primarily as antioxidants, on the transcription of phase I- and phase II-enzymes. For this, the activation of central transcription factors of the phase I- or phase II enzymes, PXR (pregnane X receptor) and Nrf2 (NF-E2-related factor-2), was tested.
The influence of different vitamin E forms and antioxidative plant compounds in form of pure substances (curcumin, EGCG, Medox, quercetin, resveratrol, and sulforaphane) or plant extracts (from blueberries, clove, raspberries, allspice, thyme, or walnuts) on the activation of PXR and Nrf2 as well as on the promoter of a respective target gene (CYP3A4 or GI-GPx) was investigated in vitro by reporter gene assays. It appeared that vitamin E forms as well as different secondary plant compounds activate PXR and/or Nrf2 as well as the promoter of the respective target genes CYP3A4 and GI-GPx. The effects of vitamin E were confirmed in vivo by an animal experiment. In livers of mice whose diet contained different amounts of vitamin E (deficient, adequate and supra-nutritional), a direct correlation between alpha-tocopherol content and Cyp3a11 mRNA expression was shown (Cyp3a11 is the murine homolog to the human CYP3A4). In contrast to the in vitro observations, gamma-tocotrienol in vivo only had a small effect on the expression of Cyp3a11 mRNA. However, it induced the expression of alpha-TTP on mRNA level. It could be shown that vitamin E and secondary plant compounds can influence the transcriptional regulation of phase I- and/or phase II-enzymes.
However, these effects of vitamin E can only be seen if the vitamin E forms are taken up by the body sufficiently. Therefore, another aim of the thesis was to investigate the bioavailability of different vitamin E forms (i.e., cellular accumulation and metabolism). It could be shown that differences in the chemical structure of vitamin E forms influence their cellular accumulation and metabolism.
Regarding the results of this thesis, protective effects of antioxidative food compounds can be explained independent of their antioxidative properties by the induction of cellular protective systems, including phase I- and phase II-enzymes. The induction of cellular defence mechanism can also be considered as an adaptive response of the organism towards cell-damaging events.

Full textLiver transplantation is now a well mastered surgery with standardized procedures, but the long-term clinical outcomes of the graft and the patient remain uncertain. The pharmacogenetic study of the calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) cyclosporine and tacrolimus should help to understand the variability of their pharmacokinetics and therapeutic or side effects. In the first part of this work, we reviewed the main pharmacogenetic studies of CNI in liver transplantation, focusing on the three polymorphisms mostly involved in CNI pharmacokinetics (CYP3A4*22, CYP3A5*3 et ABCB1 exons 12, 21, 26) and their possible associations with clinical outcomes. To date, the only pharmacogenetic test consensually recommended in organ transplantation is the CYP3A5*3 variant for a better selection of the initial tacrolimus dose in kidney transplantation. The second part of this work was a retrospective cohort study in liver transplantation to investigate the influence of the above mentioned donor’s and recipient’s genotypes, involved in the metabolism (CYP3A4*22, CYP3A5*3) and the membrane transport (ABCB1 exons 12, 21 and 26) of cyclosporine and tacrolimus. 170 patients were enrolled in this study with a mean follow-up of more than ten years. Our main results are that: the recipient CYP3A5*1 allele was associated with a higher risk of graft loss than the CYP3A5*3 allele; the recipient ABCB1 exon 12 TT genotype was associated with a lower risk of chronic rejection than the CC genotype; overexposure to CNI, initial renal function and recipient age were associated with a higher risk of post-transplantation renal dysfunction. No genetic factor was associated with patient survival, acute rejection, liver function tests, recurrence of viral or other initial liver disease, or nephrotoxicity. Prospective characterization of both recipient and donor CYP3A4, CYP3A5 and ABCB1 polymorphisms could help to optimize immunosuppressive therapy for each candidate to liver transplantation. Further studies (pharmacogenetics of calcineurin pathway, early biomarkers of graft dysfunction, ...), should help to define a personalized profile for each transplant patient in order to best adapt the immunosuppressive strategy on the long term

Full textCyclosporine and tacrolimus are the basis for immunosuppressive therapy in liver transplantation: they are essential drugs for organ transplant rejection prevention. However, a large part of its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic variability still needs to be explained. A number of studies show a relation between the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of these drugs with some variants of genes encoding key enzymes and proteins related to their metabolism and transport. Nevertheless, the results published so far are controversial. Their general inconsistency may be related to the following factors: ethnic variability, small number of patients included in the studies, lack of specificity measuring systems used for concentration determination of these drugs in blood, variation at the point in time where the results are obtained, and impact of donor genotype. In this work we have studied the following variants: CYP3A4*1B (C-392A>G), CYP3A4*22 (c.522-191C>T), CYP3A5*3 (c.6986A>G), and c.3435C>T and c.2677G>T from ABCB1 gene. We have minimized possible variations due to study design in order to help solve part of this variability and obtain consistent results. We have furthermore investigated the potential role of genotypes, both individually and in combination (haplotypes). Moreover, we have evaluated the clinical relevance of the findings, and we have also studied the influence of these genetic variants on clinical efficacy (incidence of acute rejection) and safety (incidence of occurrence of adverse effects) in the liver transplanted patient. In our study population, by the methods described, we have identified and/or at least confirmed some interesting observations that deserve more detailed studies (such as the requirement of higher doses for recipients of the CYP3A5*1 carriers graft). As regards the prevention of adverse events, in cyclosporine seems interesting the influence of CYP3A4*1B allele in receptors on neurotoxicity, the combination of CYP3A4*1B allele in donors with 3435CC ABCB1 recipients on hypertension. In tacrolimus the CYP3A5*1 allele in recipients shows relation to nephrotoxicity and hypertension, the 3435T ABCB1 allele in donors with diabetes mellitus and 2677A/T alleles of ABCB1 donors with neurotoxicity. Prospective studies could be conducted to verify these findings and corroborate the impact of the genotype knowledge. In general, it shows up the relevance of the donor genotype.

Full textPXR mediated elevation of CYP3A4 expression is a costly problem in drug development as well as a clinical problem due to clinically important drug interactions caused by the enzyme induction. CYP3A4 is responsible for the metabolism of more than 50% of the drugs commonly used today. Many of these, as well as other compounds e.g. in herbal medicines can induce transcription of CYP3A4 and thereby enhance the metabolism of other drugs, rendering them ineffective or more toxic. By using an in vitro assay for CYP3A4 induction, tests can be performed on candidate drugs early in development and thereby save time and resources since CYP3A4 inducers are eliminated from further development. A reporter gene assay was constructed by inserting three modules, which includes PXR binding sites isolated from the CYP3A4 sequence, in front of a luciferase gene. This construct was transfected together with PXR into HEK 293 cells. Induction was evoked by adding rifampicin, a known CYP3A4 inducer, to the medium. After lysis of the HEK cells and addition of luciferase substrate, luminescence intensity was recorded as a measure of induction. The construct worked and consistently showed induction by rifampicin, but could be further improved to yield higher sensitivity.

Full textThe profile of morbidity and mortality for prostate cancer has changed in recent decades, and become a serious public health problem worldwide. This cancer is a disease associated with age, with peak incidence around the seventh decade of life and is the second cause of cancer deaths in men. There are many factors that contribute to its development: diet, inherited susceptibility and acquired genetic changes. One of the relevant phenomena of the inherited susceptibility is the presence of polymorphic variants in genes involved in drugs metabolism that may increase, reduce or inactivate the enzymes encoded by them, interfering with the metabolism of carcinogens and hormone androgen. To determine possible associations with prostate cancer, five polymorphic variants (CYP1A1*2B, CYP1B1*2, CYP3A4*1B, GSTM1*0 and GSTT1*0) were studied in 170 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy with histopathological confirmation of the disease. We also evaluated 170 controls with normal PSA levels (<2ng/mL), matched to patients in age and smoking and alcohol habits. The DNA from peripheral blood was analyzed by PCRallele specific for the CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 genes, PCR-RFLP for the CYP3A4 gene and Multiplex-PCR for the genes GSTM1 and GSTT1. The OR (odds ratio) and confidence interval (CI = 95%) was used in the study of association and the Chi-square, Fisher and Mann-Whitney tests for the evaluation of histopathological parameters. The association case-control study showed absence of positive or negative association for the following studied genetic variants: CYP1A1*2B - OR = 1.03, 95% CI = 0,64-1,66; GSTM1*0 - OR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0 ,42-0, 98; GSTT1*0 - OR = 1.03, 95% CI = 0,64-1,66). The analysis statistics pointed with respect to significant a positive association of variants CYP1B1*2 (OR=1,55, IC 95%=0,98-2,47) and CYP3A4*1B (OR=1,51, IC 95%=0,97-2,37) for the prostate cancer, being the results in the limit of the significance. The combined analysis of genotypes showed significant positive association for the combinations of variants CYP1A1*2B, CYP1B1*2 and CYP3A4*1B (OR=2,55, IC 95%=1,08-5,99). The analysis of histopathological parameters did not detect statistically significant differences, except in relation variant CYP1A1*2B for perineural invasion (p=0,0382), variant GSTT1*O separately (p=0,0295) and in combination with variant GSTM1*O (p=0,0251) and the combination of these two variants of phase II with variant CYP3A4*1B (p=0,0291), had shown statistical significant for histologic degree. Our results had indicated that some separately analyzed polimorfic variants or in combination can influence in the development and the progression of the prostate cancer.

The discovery and development of drugs consist of a complex process, requiring the integration of various strategic areas such as knowledge, innovation, technology, management and high investments in Research, Development and Innovation (RD&I). No drug can be approved for use in humans without first go through extensive studies aimed at ensuring its effectiveness and safety. On the other hand, a drug that inhibits the activity of a metabolic enzyme cytochrome P450 family (CYP450) can affect the pharmacokinetics of other drugs, resulting in drug-drug interactions (DDIs), which potentially lead to side effects and toxic effects. The main oxidative enzymes responsible for drug metabolism have as main representatives CYP450 superfamily, wherein the CYP3A4 isoform is the most important because it is responsible for metabolizing approximately 50% of the drugs on the market. Several computational methods have been developed as a strategy to predict human metabolism in the early stages of research and development of drugs. In silico models of metabolism have advantages such as faster, lower cost and ease of operation when compared to traditional models in vitro and in vivo. The work aimed mainly at the development of Quantitative Relations between models chemical structure and activity / property (QSAR / QSPR) robust and predictive, to identify CYP3A4 substrates and inhibitors. To this were collected, integrated and prepared larger data sets available in the literature substrates and inhibitors of CYP3A4. Several QSAR models were generated and validated for both properties using a workflow that contemplated carefully the recommendations of the Organization for Economic Co-operation Development (OECD). The combination of different descriptors and machine learning methods have led to obtain robust and predictive QSAR models, with correct classification rate (CCR) ranging from 0.65 to 0.83 and 0.69 to 0.89 of coverage, showing a statistically significant values for classification of compounds with high accuracy whether or not substrates of CYP3A4 substrates. The binary Morgan RFgenerated model to classify compounds inhibitors and non-inhibitors also proved highly robust and predictive with sensitivity values of 0.77 and accuracy of 0.76, and the Morgan-RF model multiclass obtained values of 0.68 sensitivity and 0.69 for accuracy. The map of predicted probability proved useful as it could encode major structural fragments to classify compounds inhibitors or not CYP3A4 inhibitors. In conclusion, have been developed and validated many QSAR to predict the interaction with the CYP450 enzyme that may be useful in the early stages of the development of new drugs. The next step is the online availability of the models obtained in LabMol server (http://labmol.farmacia.ufg.br).
A descoberta e o desenvolvimento de fármacos consistem um processo complexo, sendo necessária a integração de várias áreas estratégicas como conhecimento, inovação, tecnologia, gerenciamento e altos investimentos em Pesquisa, Desenvolvimento e Inovação (PD&I). Nenhum fármaco pode ser aprovado para uso em humanos sem que antes passe por extensivos estudos que visem garantir sua eficácia e segurança. Um fármaco que inibe a atividade metabólica de uma enzima da família citocromo P450 (CYP450), pode afetar a farmacocinética de outros fármacos, resultando em interações fármaco-fármaco (DDIs), que podem conduzir potencialmente a efeitos colaterais e tóxicos. As principais enzimas oxidativas responsáveis pelo metabolismo de fármacos possuem como principais representantes a superfamília CYP450, em que a isoforma CYP3A4 é a mais importante, pois é responsável por metabolizar aproximadamente 50 % dos fármacos disponíveis no mercado. Diversos métodos computacionais têm sido desenvolvidos como estratégia para predizer o metabolismo humano nos primeiros estágios de pesquisa e desenvolvimento de fármacos. Modelos in silico do metabolismo apresentam vantagens como maior rapidez, menor custo e maior facilidade de operação, quando comparados aos modelos tradicionais in vitro e in vivo. O trabalho teve como objetivo central o desenvolvimento de modelos de Relações Quantitativas entre estrutura química e atividade/propriedade (QSAR/QSPR) robustos e preditivos, visando identificar substratos e inibidores de CYP3A4. Para isso, foram compilados, integrados e preparados os maiores conjuntos de dados disponíveis na literatura de substratos e inibidores de CYP3A4. Vários modelos de QSAR foram gerados e validados para ambas as propriedades usando um fluxo de trabalho que contemplou criteriosamente as recomendações da Organization for Economic Co-operation Development (OECD). A combinação de diferentes descritores e métodos de aprendizado de máquina levaram a obtenção de modelos QSAR robustos e consistentes, com taxa de classificação correta (CCR) que variam entre 0,65-0,83 e cobertura de 0,69-0,89,demonstrando valores estatisticamente significativos para classificação com alta precisão de compostos em substratos ou não substratos de CYP3A4. O modelo Morgan-RF binário gerado para classificar compostos em inibidores e não inibidores se mostraram também altamente robusto e preditivo com valores de sensibilidade de 0,77 e acurácia de 0,76, e o modelo Morgan-RF multiclasse obteve valores de 0,68 para sensibilidade e 0,69 para acurácia. O mapa de probabilidade predita se mostrou útil, pois conseguiu codificar fragmentos estruturais importantes para classificar compostos em inibidores ou não inibidores de CYP3A4. Como conclusões foram desenvolvidos e validados diversos modelos de QSAR para prever a interação com a enzima CYP450 que podem ser úteis nos estágios iniciais do desenvolvimento de novos fármacos. O próximo passo será a disponibilização online dos modelos obtidos no servidor do LabMol (http://labmol.farmacia.ufg.br).

Full textDrugs and other foreign compounds must often be metabolised before they can be excreted from the body. One enzyme system that is responsible for this is the cytochrome P450 gene family (CYP). In this thesis, new sensitive molecular techniques have been used to study the human gene expression of some CYP enzymes, as well as the P-glycoprotein transporter (P-gp). The aim was to evaluate whether tissues other than the liver, e.g. the blood, could be used to assess an individual's drug metabolic capacity. Another aim was to investigate the gene expression in relation to the liver transplant process and a third aim was to evaluate the expression in gastrointestinal mucosa in both normal and inflamed mucosa.
We evaluated the CYP gene expression in paired specimens of liver and blood but found no correlation in the expression patterns of these two tissues. Instead, we found the opposite pattern, where, for example, CYP1B1 had the highest expression in the blood but the lowest in the liver and CYP2E1 was the enzyme with the highest expression in the liver. In an investigation of the expression of four different CYP enzymes and P-gp in liver transplants before and during the first year after transplantation, we found that the levels of all the CYP enzymes but not P-gp increased with time. We also found that the expression of CYP3A4 was inversely related to the normalised plasma levels of the immunosuppressive drugs cyclosporine and tacrolimus.
In the gastrointestinal tract, CYP2E1 was the enzyme with the highest mRNA expression compared with CYP3A4, CYP3A5 and the transporter P-gp. CYP3A4 has its highest expression in the duodenum compared with the expression in the stomach and the colon. CYP3A5 is expressed at a higher level than CYP3A4 in the colon. P-gp expression levels increase through the gastrointestinal tract to the left colon. Gene expression levels of CYP2E1 and CYP3A4 decrease in severely inflamed rectal mucosa.
In conclusion, this is a sensitive method for studying gene activity in a clinical situation, even though at this point we are not able to use blood or gastrointestinal mucosa as “surrogate” tissue to estimate an individual’s drug metabolic capacity. The studies in liver transplants and gastrointestinal mucosa are unique in that the gene expression is investigated during a clinical course of events.

Full textInteração medicamentosa é um evento clínico em que os efeitos de um fármaco são alterados pelo uso concomitante ou anterior à administração de outro fármaco, alimento ou bebida. A toranja tem vindo a ser estudada pelo potencial da sua utilização no combate de doenças crónicas devido à sua atividade antioxidante, anti-inflamatória, anticancerígena, bem como anti aterosclerótica. No entanto, a toranja é um dos alimentos mais estudados pelo seu potencial de interações medicamentosas. Avaliar a importância terapêutica das interações entre os alimentos e os medicamentos é particularmente difícil, sendo estas interações principalmente de natureza farmacocinética e muito complexa. Deste modo, a ingestão de alimentos pode influenciar parâmetros como a absorção, distribuição, metabolização e eliminação de determinados fármacos, ou, por outro lado, não influenciar estes parâmetros. A toranja é um exemplo conhecido deste tipo de interações, uma vez que pode interferir com alguns fármacos e causar toxicidade severa. A naringina, a naringenina e as furanocumarinas são componentes presentes na toranja e que são responsáveis pela inibição do CYP3A4 originando assim as interações com os fármacos. Sabe-se que inúmeros fármacos interagem com o sumo da toranja. Muitos destes fármacos são prescritos para o tratamento de doenças comuns e são metabolizados pelo citocromo P450 3A4. A glicoproteína-P e os polipéptidos transporte de aniões orgânicos estão também envolvidos nas interações com os fármacos, uma vez que sofrem interações com os compostos polifenólicos presentes na toranja. Com o desenvolvimento deste trabalho, pretende-se estudar as características e as propriedades da toranja, assim como as interações que existem entre este fruto e os fármacos e em particular o modo como o perfil farmacocinético dos fármacos é afetado.
Drug interaction is a clinical event in which the effects of a drug are altered by the concomitant, or prior, use of another drug, food or drink. Grapefruit has been used in the fight against chronic diseases due to its anti-oxidant, antiinflammatory, anticancer, as well as anti-atherosclerotic activity. However, grapefruit is also one of the foods most studied for its potential drug interactions. Assessing the therapeutic importance of interactions between food and drugs is particularly difficult, and these interactions are mainly pharmacokinetics and very complex. Thus, food intake can influence parameters such as the absorption, distribution, metabolization and elimination of certain drugs, or, on the other hand, do not influence these parameters. Grapefruit is a known example of such interactions as it may interfere with some drugs and cause severe toxicity. Naringin, naringenin and furanocoumarins are components present in the grapefruit that are responsible for the inhibition of CYP3A4, thus leading to drug interactions. It is known that innumerable drugs interact with grapefruit juice. Many of these drugs are prescribed for the treatment of common diseases and are metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A4. P-gp and OATP are also involved in drug interactions as they undergo interactions with the polyphenolic compounds present in the grapefruit. This work intends to study the characteristics and properties of grapefruit, as well as the interactions between this fruit and drugs, and particularly to understand how the pharmacokinetic profile of the drugs is affected.

Full textDifferences in drug response among patients are common, often leading to challenges in targeting the therapeutic window and optimizing the treatment. Major drugs are reported to be effective in only 25% to 60% of patients. Two important factors responsible for the effective dose of drug are drug metabolism and clearance. Notably, CYP3A4 is the main enzyme responsible for drug metabolism in hepatocytes; variations in its activity result in dose uncertainty. To improve drug’s effectiveness, this thesis work focuses on the development of nanocarriers loaded with natural CYP3A4-inhibiting molecules and targeting hepatocytes, to be administered prior to the drug to minimize its metabolism. A methodology to systematically screen CYP3A4-inhibiting compounds and set the dose and schedule for in vivo use was developed. A first proof-of-concept was demonstrated using a furanocoumarin-loaded micelle as CYP3A4-inhibiting compound: anti-tumor efficacy studies and quantification within tumor of the cytotoxic drug docetaxel, injected after furanocoumarin-loaded micelle, were engaged on two xenografted tumor models in mice. A second generation of nanocarriers was developed, with optimised physico-chemical properties to target specifically hepatocytes. The demonstration of their specific accumulation in hepatocytes and additional improvement in boosting of docetaxel was conducted. A perspective in using such an approach to enhance the effectiveness of existing drugs in oncology is discussed, notably for differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma

Full textCytochrome P450 (CYP) constitutes a superfamily of heme- containing enzymes that catalyze the oxidative biotransformation of structurally diverse xenobiotics including pharmaceuticals and drugs. Cytochrome P450 3A4 is not only the most abundant isoform in human liver but is also responsible for metabolizing approximately 60% of therapeutic drugs. This feature makes CYP3A4 highly susceptible to both reversible and irreversible, such as mechanism-based, inhibition. Mechanism-based inhibition is characterized by being time dependent as well as NADPH and concentration dependent, when some drugs are converted by CYPs to reactive metabolites. The inactivation of CYP3A4 can be due to chemical modification of the heme, the protein, or both by covalent binding of modified heme to the protein. Compared to reversible inhibition, mechanism-based inhibition of CYP3A4 more frequently causes unfavourable drug- drug interactions (DDI), as the inactivated CYP3A4 has to be replaced by newly synthesized CYP3A4 protein. DDI can lead to higher exposure of co-administered drugs, sometimes leading to toxicity. For these reasons, drug metabolism groups within pharmaceutical companies need a well established screening assay to assess mechanism-based inactivation of major human P450 enzymes by new chemical substances that are being developed by the company. Historically, adverse drug interactions were found in clinical trials or after the drugs were commercially released. That caused pharmaceutical companies large economical losses, since a large portion of development cost was in vain.Medivir AB is a small pharmaceutical company that would like to set up a screening method to be used to test candidate drugs for CYP3A4 mechanism-based inhibition. The central aim of this master degree project was to set up a screening assay to test irreversible inhibition of CYP3A4 and validate it with known inhibitors. Using the validated assay, a number of in-house project compounds will be measured for inhibition potential and the results analyzed for structure-activity correlations. Relationships between some functional groups and mechanism-based inhibition can provide insight for improvement of drug candidates and inhibition liability. The assay was based on microsomes containing recombinant human CYP3A4 and activity measured by conversion of the substrate dibenzylfluorescein into a fluorescent product. The product was quantified by measurement of fluorescence in a 96-well plate reader. Optimization was achieved by determining the reaction linearity with time and enzyme concentration. When possible the Km for the probe substrate was also determined. The effect of different backgrounds was studied to settle on a compensation for the enzyme activity. The effect of DMSO on CYP3A4 mediated metabolism of the substrate was studied to determine the acceptable solvent concentration. The concentration responsible for 50% inhibition (IC50) was also determined for several known inhibitors and compared with literature data.
The master thesis was performed at Medivir AB, a small pharmaceutical company in Stockholm.

Full textXenobiotics can be toxic for humans, and their biological effects remain difficult to be predicted, due to possible functional interactions between them. Cellular pathway for xenobiotic elimination consists in detoxification process including 3 enzymatic complementary systems, mainly present in liver: phase I enzymes (P450 cytochromes), phase II enzymes (transferases) and phase III active efflux transporters. CYP3A4, MGST1 and P-gp, the membrane proteins involved in this cellular detoxification and chosen in our study, were expressed in the bacterial system Lactococcus lactis using two different cloning strategies: classic and Gateway compatible cloning. It was previously showed that Gateway compatible cloning is an efficient way to produce membrane proteins in L. Lactis. Heterologous expression of CYP3A4 and rat and human MGST1was successfully established, and allowed production of 5% and 1-3% of total membrane proteins, respectively. L. Lactis seems thus to be a suitable expression system for these detoxification enzymes. Pilot functional studies, using membrane fractions showed that only rat MGST1 exhibit some enzymatic activity. Unfortunately, P-gp expression in L. Lactis could not be achieved, because of lack of efficient molecular biological tools (due to the large size of the abcb1 gene). However, enzymatic activity measurements were performed with the P-gp native form produced in transfected insect cells

Full textThe main objective of this study was the development of QSAR models for drug metabolism-related properties. Novel GALAS (Global, Adjusted Locally According to Similarity) modeling method was used, which is a combination of baseline global QSAR model and local similarity based corrections. GALAS modeling method allows forecasting the reliability of prediction thus defining the model applicability domain. Models predicting CYP3A4 inhibition and regioselectivity of metabolism in human liver microsomes were developed and validated using external test sets. In all cases the baseline models already showed acceptable results, and the overall accuracy of predictions increased after the similarity based corrections. Moreover, the numbers of mispredictions reduced significantly when only results of higher reliability were taken into account. However, the original models are applicable only for less than a half of external datasets. Since the similarity correction procedure of GALAS modeling method allows simple model training, the possibility to expand the applicability domain has been tested. The CYP3A4 inhibition model was successfully adapted to PubChem data and compounds with a novel chemical scaffold. After training the regioselectivity model new metabolism sites could be identified in compounds of new chemical class. Moreover, this model was adapted for human cytochrome P450 isoform profiling.

Modeliai, prognozuojantys CYP3A4 slopinimą ir žmogaus kepenų mikrosomų katalizuojamo metabolizmo regioselektyvumą, buvo sukurti naudojant GALAS (angl. Global, Adjusted Locally According to Similarity; Globalus, lokaliai pakoreguotas pagal panašumą) modeliavimo metodą, kuris geba įvertinti prognozės patikimumą, taip apibrėždamas modelio pritaikymo sritį. Sukurtų modelių prognozės buvo tikrinamos naudojant eksperimentinius naujų cheminių junginių duomenis. Visų globalių modelių prognozės gerėjo po korekcijų pagal panašumą, o neteisingų spėjimų skaičius buvo ženkliai mažesnis tarp aukšto patikimumo prognozių. Visgi daugiau nei pusė išorinių duomenų nepatenka į šių modelių pritaikymo sritį. GALAS modeliai gali būti gana paprastai apmokomi, pridedant naujus duomenis į lokalią modelio dalį ir apskaičiuojant reikiamą korekciją. Po tokios apmokymo procedūros CYP3A4 slopinimo modelis prisitaikė prie PubChem duomenų bazės cheminių junginių ir taip pat prie vaistų, turinčių naują cheminį karkasą. Pridėjus naujų junginių ir apmokius regioselektyvumo modelį, jis pradėjo prognozuoti naujas metabolizmo vietas. Pastarasis modelis taip pat buvo pritaikytas atskirų fermentų katalizuojamo metabolizmo prognozavimui.

Resumo: O mesilato de imatinibe (MI) é o tratamento de escolha para pacientes com leucemia mielóide crônica (LMC) em fase crônica, mas a resposta ao medicamento é variável em indivíduos distintos. A CYP3A4 é a principal enzima responsável pelo metabolismo hepático do MI. O alelo variante G do polimorfismo CYP3A4 A-290G codifica menor quantidade de enzima do que o alelo selvagem A, mas o papel do referido polimorfismo em pacientes com LMC tratados com MI é desconhecido. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram os de avaliar a eficácia, a toxicidade a sobrevida livre de progressão (SLP) e global (SG) de pacientes com LMC durante a administração de MI e verificar se estes parâmetros são alterados pela variabilidade interindividual no metabolismo do fármaco, relacionada ao polimorfismo CYP3A4 A-290G. Foram avaliados 100 pacientes com LMC em FC precoce atendidos no Centro de Hematologia e Hemoterapia da UNICAMP. O diagnóstico da LMC, o exame hematológico, o cariótipo, a pesquisa do gene BCR-ABL e os genótipos do polimorfismo CYP3A4 A-290G foram realizados por métodos convencionais. Os pacientes receberam o MI na dose de 400mg e a resposta ao tratamento foi avaliada segundo os critérios do European Leukemia Net. Identificamos respostas hematológicas, citogenética e molecular similares às previamente descritas. A taxa de resposta hematológica foi de 95% ao longo do estudo. Aos doze meses, as respostas citogenética completa ou parcial foram de 72% e 11% respectivamente. Já as taxas de respostas moleculares completas e maiores aos 22 meses foram de 28% e 26%, respectivamente. A sobrevida global foi de 94% aos 92 meses bem como a sobrevida livre de progressão para as fases avançadas da doença. Observamos que pacientes com resposta citogenética completa ou parcial e molecular xiv completa ou maior apresentaram maior SLP e SG do que os demais. Cerca de 13% dos pacientes era portadores do genótipo AG do polimorfismo CYP3A4 A-290G, o qual esteve associado à obtenção de resposta molecular completa tardia e tendência à menor SLP e SG. Apesar da hipótese do alelo variante (G) exibir um fenótipo metabolizador lento associado a uma menor taxa de biotransformação do MI e portando maior risco de reações tóxicas, não observamos diferenças entre as toxicidades hematológicas e não hematológica (P= 0,28). Assim, concluímos que nossos pacientes respondem de forma similar ao MI do que os demais e que o polimorfismo CYP3A4 A-290G pode vir a funcionar como biomarcador de resposta ao fármaco
Abstract: Imatinib (IM) is widely recognized as the standard of care in the first-line treatment of CML but the response to the drug is variable in different subjects. CYP3A4 is the main enzyme responsible for the hepatic metabolism of Imatinib. The G variant allele of the polymorphism A-290G encoding least amount of enzyme than the wild-type allele, but the role of this polymorphism in CML patients treated with Imatinib is unknown. The aims of this study were to assess the efficacy, toxicity, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with CML during the administration of Imatinib and check if these parameters are affected y interindividual variability in drug metabolism, the polymorphism related to CYP3A4 A-290G. We evaluated 100 patients with CML newly diagnosed at Center of Hematology and Hemoterapy of UNICAMP. The diagnosis of CML, hematology, karyotyping, research the BCR-ABL gene polymorphism and CYP3A4 genotypes A-290G were performed by conventional methods. Patients received a dose of 400mg IM and treatment response was assessed according to the criteria of the European Leukemia Net responses identified hematologic, cytogenetic and molecular similar to those previously described. The hematologic response rate was 95% throughout the study. At 22 months the complete or partial cytogenetic responses were 72% and 11% respectively. The complete molecular response rates at 22 months were 28% and 26%, respectively. Overall survival (OS) was 94% at 92 months and the progression-free survival (PFS) for advanced stages of the disease. We observed that patients with partial or complete cytogenetic response and major molecular and complete PFS and OS showed higher than other. We observed that patients with partial or complete cytogenetic response and major molecular xvi and complete PFS and OS showed higher than others. About 13% of patients were of AG genotype polymorphism of the CYP3A4 -290A>G, which was associated with achieving complete molecular response and late tendency to lower PFS and OS. Despite the possibility of variant allele (G) display a slow metabolizer phenotype associated with a lower rate of biotransformation of IM and carrying greater risk of toxic reactions, no significant differences between hematological and non hematological toxicities (P= 0,28). Thus, we conclude that our patients respond similary to IM than others and that the polymorphism CYP3A4 -290A>G might function as a biomarker of response to the drug

Full textObesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are able to increase the risk and the severity of hepatotoxicity induced by some xenobiotics including drugs, but the involved mechanisms are still poorly understood. For toxic compounds such as ethanol and acetaminophen (APAP), a role of hepatic cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) is suspected since the activity of this enzyme is consistently enhanced during obesity and NAFLD. The first aim of our experimental study was to set up a cellular model of NAFLD characterized not only by triglyceride accumulation but also by higher CYP2E1 activity. To this end, differentiated human HepaRG cells were incubated during one week with stearic acid, or oleic acid, in the presence of 3 different concentrations of insulin. Cellular triglycerides and the expression of lipid-responsive genes were similar with both fatty acids. However, CYP2E1 activity was significantly increased only by stearate and this was associated with lower CYP3A4 activity, another metabolic feature reported in NAFLD. CYP2E1 activity in HepaRG cells was reduced by insulin in a concentration-dependent manner and this effect was reproduced in cultured primary human hepatocytes. Hence, the highest CYP2E1 activity was observed in HepaRG cells with stearate and without insulin. Next, the second aim of our study was to assess APAP cytotoxicity in HepaRG cells presenting or not lipid accretion and CYP2E1 induction. Experiments with a large range of APAP concentrations (1 to 20 mM) showed that the cellular loss of ATP and glutathione (GSH) was almost always stronger in the presence of stearic acid. In cells pretreated with the CYP2E1 inhibitor chlormethiazole (CMZ), recovery of cellular ATP was significantly higher in the presence of stearic acid with both low (2.5 mM) and high (20 mM) concentrations of APAP. However, in the absence of insulin, CMZ-induced ATP recovery was significantly greater only for 20 mM of APAP. Surprisingly, there was no recovery of cellular GSH and no reduction of APAP-protein adducts following CMZ pretreatment. Finally, levels of APAP-glucuronide were significantly enhanced in the presence of insulin. Hence, when studied in specific conditions of culture, the HepaRG cell line can be a valuable model of human NAFLD, especially regarding CYP2E1 and CYP3A4 activity. Our data also suggest that higher CYP2E1 activity in NAFLD could be secondary to the hepatic accumulation of some fatty acids and to the presence of low insulin signaling. This cellular model can be thus used to unveil the main metabolic and hormonal factors favoring APAP hepatotoxicity in obese individuals. This thesis also includes a review on APAP hepatotoxicity in the context of obesity and NAFLD (Michaut et al., Liver Int 2014)

Full textBefore the approval of an active compound, metabolism studies are necessary to ensure its safety, once active metabolites could be synthesized during human biotransformation. The use of eukaryotic microorganisms for the study of drug metabolism has been widely explored, due to its capability of producing metabolites similar to the mammalians, and in silico studies consist in a fast strategy when compared with traditional metabolism studies. In this context, molecular modeling, using docking of molecules of interest in the active site of enzymes involved in drug metabolism, is a useful tool to evaluate the interactions between drug and receptor, because it could predict favorable orientations that could be biotransformated. In this work, sixteen filamentous fungi strains, obtained from collections and isolated from soil in the central Brazil, were evaluated for their capability of the antiretroviral stavudine biotransformation, also complemented by animal metabolism studies and molecular modeling of the most relevant cytochrome P450 isoform of human metabolism: CYP3A4. From the bioconversion experiments, the fungus Cunninghamella elegans ATCC 26169 was capable of metabolize stavudine, forming mammalian metabolites, producing the thymine derivative. Dynamic molecular studies demonstrated that the most probable reactions for stavudine, catalyzed by CYP3A4, involves hydroxylation of methyl group (position C-7) and the double bond epoxidation of the furanic ring, showing the importance of some residues of the active site in this process, like Arg212
Antes da aprovação de uma substância ativa, estudos do metabolismo são necessários para garantir sua segurança, uma vez que metabólitos ativos podem ser produzidos durante a biotransformação no organismo humano. O uso de microrganismos eucarióticos para estudos do metabolismo de fármacos tem sido bastante explorado, devido à sua capacidade de produzir metabólitos semelhantes aos de mamíferos, e os estudos in silico consistem em uma estratégia rápida quando comparada com os estudos tradicionais. Dentro deste contexto, a modelagem molecular, utilizando docking de moléculas de interesse no sítio ativo de enzimas envolvidas no metabolismo, é empregada para a avaliação das interações entre o fármaco e a proteína, podendo prever as orientações favoráveis à biotransformação. Neste trabalho, dezesseis cepas de fungos filamentosos, obtidas de coleções e isoladas do Cerrado, foram utilizadas para o estudo do metabolismo do anti-retroviral estavudina, e complementadas pelo estudo do metabolismo animal e pelo emprego da modelagem molecular da isoforma humana de citocromo P-450 mais importante para o metabolismo: CYP3A4. A partir dos experimentos de bioconversão, a cepa Cunninghamella elegans ATCC 26169 foi capaz de biotransformar a estavudina de forma semelhante aos mamíferos, produzindo o derivado timina. Os estudos de dinâmica molecular, por sua vez, demonstraram que as reações mais prováveis para a estavudina, catalisadas pelo CYP3A4, envolvem a hidroxilação da metila (posição C-7) e a epoxidação da dupla ligação pertencente ao anel furânico, evidenciando, ainda, a importância de determinados resíduos do sítio ativo neste processo, como a arginina 212

Full textFurosemide, which is a diuretic drug, is widely used in heart, kidney and pulmonary disease treatments. The absorption is problematic with high variability inter and intra individuals. This drug has been classified as belonging to class II (low solubility and high permeability) or IV (low permeability and low solubility) of the Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS). In previous studies of the research team, Spricigo and colleagues (2008) and Silva (2014) developed complex of furosemide with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin which allowed the optimization of the solubility of this drug. However, datas concerning it\'s intestinal permeability, when complexed, have not been determined. Addicted to this, the literature shows many information regarding to this parameter, which confirms the importance of the evaluation of the permeability of this drug. Some techniques have been employed in order to evaluate the intestinal permeability of drugs. In the present work, a triple single-pass intestinal perfusion technique was used for three different segments. This technique enables the evaluation of the permeability of different segments in the same animal and also has interesting features such as: it provides during all the experiment conditions closer to those found in in vivo process of a drug absorption in the gut; blood supply; intact innervations; preservation of membrane transporter proteins and presence of mucus layer. This study was divided into the following steps: (i) obtaining furosemide complexed with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, (ii) characterization of drugs using techniques of thermal analysis, (iii) perfusion study in situ triple passage in three segments (duodenum, jejunum and ileum) from male Wistar rats in the absence and presence of inhibitors of P-glycoprotein and metabolizing enzymes CYP3A4 and subsequential statistical analysis of the impact of the cyclodextrin and the inhibitors in the permeability of furosemide and (iv) histological analysis of intestinal microvilli after in situ perfusion assay in three segments. The values found in each segment for complexed furosemide were: 8,58 ± 0,002 x 10-5 cm.s-1; 9,15 ± 0,003 x 10-5 cm.s-1; 8,06 ± 0,002 x 10-5 cm.s-1, respectively for duodenum, jejunum and ileum while for pure furosemide, the values were: 3,42 ± 0,08 x 10-5 cm.s-1 to duodenum; 3,87 ± 0,11 x 10-5 cm.s-1 to jejunum and 3,08 ± 0,001 x 10-5 cm.s-1 to ileum. Thus, the values obtained for the permeability of the complexed furosemide were significantly higher (p < 0,05) than those found for pure furosemide, suggesting that the cyclodextrin might have an influence on the transport mechanism of furosemide, which is passive paracellular route. About the mechanisms involved in the permeability of furosemide through the enterocytes, it can be suggested that there was little effect of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors and CYP3A4 enzyme, suggesting that there is an important role of these mechanisms in the furosemide intestinal absorption.

Nos últimos anos, novos anticoagulantes têm sido desenvolvidos com o objetivo de minimizar as dificuldades encontradas no manejo clínico das drogas convencionais, porém não existem dados publicados sobre a sua farmacogenética. Diante da hipótese de que os polimorfismos relacionados à sua metabolização possam ser fonte de variabilidade genética, o presente estudo objetiva realizar inferências de epidemiologia molecular dos polimorfismos nos genes CyP3a4 (rs2246709) e CyP2j2 (rs890293), relacionados ao metabolismo do Rivaroxaban, um novo inibidor direto do fator Xa. São analisadas 136 amostras de indivíduos saudáveis de uma população do Norte do Brasil que apresenta um elevado grau de mistura interétnica. Para alcançar o objetivo farmacogenético foi realizada, em paralelo, análise de ancestralidade genômica nos indivíduos investigados. Os resultados demonstraram diferenças significativas entre os genótipos do CyP3a4 observados no estudo, quando comparados a todas as populações ancestrais para o polimorfismo 99365719 a>G (P<0,05). a população miscigenada do Norte do Brasil, portanto, apresentou diferença na distribuição das frequências genotípicas em relação aos grupos ancestrais, formadores de nossa população. O mesmo achado não é observado para polimorfismo do gene do CyP2j2. Destaca-se que o polimorfismo no gene do CyP3a4, na amostra investigada, sofre influência da contribuição étnica européia individual. Considerando, a elevada miscigenação que caracteriza a população local e o avanço da Farmacogenômica na medicina atual, os dados podem contribuir para a melhor compreensão da farmacogenética do novo anticoagulante.
In recent years, new anticoagulants have been developed with the purpose of minimizing the difficulties encountered in the clinical management of conventional dru- gs, but there are no published data on its pharmacogenetics. Considering the hypothe- sis that polymorphisms related to its metabolism may be the source of genetic variability, this study aims to make inferences on molecular epidemiology of polymorphisms in CyP3a4 (rs2246709) and CyP2j2 (rs890293) genes related to the metabolism of Rivaroxaban, a new direct factor Xa inhibitor. 136 samples from healthy individuals in a population of northern Brazil with a high degree of inter-ethnic mix, so as to guarantee that the pharmacogenetic goal was achieved, have been subjected to a parallel analysis of genomic ancestry for the individuals investigated. The results sho- wed significant differences among genotypes for CyP3a4 observed in the study com- pared to all ancestral populations for a polymorphism 99,365,719 a> G ( P < 0.05). The mixed population of northern Brazil, therefore, showed differences in the distribution of genotype frequencies in relation to ancestral groups, forming our population. The same finding was not observed for the CyP2j2 gene polymorphism. It is noteworthy that the polymorphism in the CyP3a4 gene in the investigated sample is influenced by indivi- dual ethnic European contribution. Considering the high miscegenation featuring local people, and the advancement of Pharmacogenomics in current medicine, such data can contribute to a better understanding of the pharmacogenetics of that new anticoagulant.
