Abstract
Recent reports suggest that plasma riboflavin may serve as a biomarker for BCRP inhibition in humans. However, the clinical data supporting this claim have been limited, with only two studies showing modest increases in riboflavin levels after administration of a BCRP inhibitor. We have recently demonstrated that co-administration of 375 mg once daily (q.d.) cedirogant, an in vitro BCRP inhibitor, significantly increased rosuvastatin (an OATP1B1/1B3 and BCRP substrate) exposures but did not change the levels of the OATP1B endogenous biomarker coproporphyrin-I, demonstrating that cedirogant is a clinical BCRP inhibitor. Samples from this same cedirogant clinical drug–drug interaction study were utilized to test the hypothesis that endogenous plasma riboflavin is a biomarker of BCRP inhibition. Plasma riboflavin levels in the absence of cedirogant ranged from 1 to 10 ng/mL across the 11 participants analyzed with minimal (<20%) intrasubject variability over a 24-hour interval. Contrary to expectations, 375 mg q.d. oral administration of cedirogant did not increase riboflavin levels. These data strongly suggest that endogenous plasma riboflavin is not a viable biomarker for BCRP inhibition in humans.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Translational Science (CTS), an official journal of the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, highlights original translational medicine research that helps bridge laboratory discoveries with the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. Translational medicine is a multi-faceted discipline with a focus on translational therapeutics. In a broad sense, translational medicine bridges across the discovery, development, regulation, and utilization spectrum. Research may appear as Full Articles, Brief Reports, Commentaries, Phase Forwards (clinical trials), Reviews, or Tutorials. CTS also includes invited didactic content that covers the connections between clinical pharmacology and translational medicine. Best-in-class methodologies and best practices are also welcomed as Tutorials. These additional features provide context for research articles and facilitate understanding for a wide array of individuals interested in clinical and translational science. CTS welcomes high quality, scientifically sound, original manuscripts focused on clinical pharmacology and translational science, including animal, in vitro, in silico, and clinical studies supporting the breadth of drug discovery, development, regulation and clinical use of both traditional drugs and innovative modalities.
