Abstract
Background
Venlafaxine (VEN) is a commonly utilized medication for alleviating depression and anxiety disorders. The presence of genetic polymorphisms gives rise to considerable variations in plasma concentrations across different phenotypes. This divergence in phenotypic responses leads to notable differences in both the efficacy and tolerance of the drug.
Purpose
A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for VEN and its metabolite O-desmethylvenlafaxine (ODV) to predict the impact of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 gene polymorphisms on VEN pharmacokinetics (PK).
Methods
The parent-metabolite PBPK models for VEN and ODV were developed using PK-Sim® and MoBi®. Leveraging prior research, derived and implemented CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 activity score (AS)-dependent metabolism to simulate exposure in the drug-gene interactions (DGIs) scenarios. The model’s performance was evaluated by comparing predicted and observed values of plasma concentration–time (PCT) curves and PK parameters values.
Results
In the base models, 91.1%, 94.8%, and 94.6% of the predicted plasma concentrations for VEN, ODV, and VEN + ODV, respectively, fell within a twofold error range of the corresponding observed concentrations. For DGI scenarios, these values were 81.4% and 85% for VEN and ODV, respectively. Comparing CYP2D6 AS = 2 (normal metabolizers, NM) populations to AS = 0 (poor metabolizers, PM), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0 (intermediate metabolizers, IM), 1.25, 1.5 (NM), and 3.0 (ultrarapid metabolizers, UM) populations in CYP2C19 AS = 2.0 group, the predicted DGI AUC0-96 h ratios for VEN were 3.65, 3.09, 2.60, 2.18, 1.84, 1.56, 1.34, 0.61, and for ODV, they were 0.17, 0.35, 0.51, 0.64, 0.75, 0.83, 0.90, 1.11, and the results were similar in other CYP2C19 groups. It should be noted that PK differences in CYP2C19 phenotypes were not similar across different CYP2D6 groups.
Conclusions
In clinical practice, the impact of genotyping on the in vivo disposition process of VEN should be considered to ensure the safety and efficacy of treatment.
