Abstract
A genetic algorithm (GA)-based framework was developed to predict drug-drug interactions (DDIs) caused by cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) inhibition or induction in dogs and cats. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) ratios, obtained from published in vivo DDI studies, were used to calculate the following parameters: (a) the contribution ratio (CR), which represents the fraction of the dose of the victim drug metabolized via CYP3A, and (b) the inhibitory potency (inhibition ratio; IR) or inducing potency (IC) of the perpetrator drug. AUC ratios of 3 substrates, 4 inhibitors and 1 inducer of CYP3A in cats, and the AUC ratios of 10 substrates, 12 inhibitors and 3 inducers of CYP3A in dogs were successfully predicted and validated by the developed methodology within 50–200 % of observed values. This approach could represent a useful resource to predict the extent of DDIs in clinical scenarios requiring the simultaneous administration of a CYP3A substrate drug with a CYP3A perpetrator.
期刊介绍:
Chemico-Biological Interactions publishes research reports and review articles that examine the molecular, cellular, and/or biochemical basis of toxicologically relevant outcomes. Special emphasis is placed on toxicological mechanisms associated with interactions between chemicals and biological systems. Outcomes may include all traditional endpoints caused by synthetic or naturally occurring chemicals, both in vivo and in vitro. Endpoints of interest include, but are not limited to carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, respiratory toxicology, neurotoxicology, reproductive and developmental toxicology, and immunotoxicology.
