Abstract
Cannabidiol (CBD) can be used as add-on antiseizure medication. We aimed to investigate CBD depletion kinetics when combined with antiseizure medications, further the effect of intermediate-activity CYP2C19 genotype on CBD metabolism.CBD depletion in pooled human liver microsomes (HLMs) was studied at varying concentrations (400-6000 nM) in the absence and presence of valproic acid, clobazam, stiripentol and topiramate. In addition, CBD metabolism in HLMs from CYP2C19 *1/*2 or *1/*4 donors was investigated. Incubation samples were analysed for CBD and metabolites 7-OH-CBD and 7-COOH-CBD using LC-MS/MS. CBD in vitro intrinsic clearance (CLint) was calculated using estimated Vmax and Km values and further extrapolated to in vivo CLint.In vitro CLint values were reduced by approximately 25-85% in the presence of antiseizure medication(s) with the largest effect observed for the combination of four antiseizure drugs. There was no discernible difference for HLMs with CYP2C19 *1/*2 or *1/*4 genotype. Increases in CBD depletion half-lives at higher concentrations indicated substrate inhibition and/or metabolic saturation.Projected decreases in CBD CLint values when combined with several antiseizure medications suggest a potential for clinically relevant drug-drug interactions. A 1.3- to 4.8-fold increased exposure to unbound systemic CBD concentrations was predicted when combined with these antiseizure medications.
期刊介绍:
Xenobiotica covers seven main areas, including:General Xenobiochemistry, including in vitro studies concerned with the metabolism, disposition and excretion of drugs, and other xenobiotics, as well as the structure, function and regulation of associated enzymesClinical Pharmacokinetics and Metabolism, covering the pharmacokinetics and absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs and other xenobiotics in manAnimal Pharmacokinetics and Metabolism, covering the pharmacokinetics, and absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs and other xenobiotics in animalsPharmacogenetics, defined as the identification and functional characterisation of polymorphic genes that encode xenobiotic metabolising enzymes and transporters that may result in altered enzymatic, cellular and clinical responses to xenobioticsMolecular Toxicology, concerning the mechanisms of toxicity and the study of toxicology of xenobiotics at the molecular levelXenobiotic Transporters, concerned with all aspects of the carrier proteins involved in the movement of xenobiotics into and out of cells, and their impact on pharmacokinetic behaviour in animals and manTopics in Xenobiochemistry, in the form of reviews and commentaries are primarily intended to be a critical analysis of the issue, wherein the author offers opinions on the relevance of data or of a particular experimental approach or methodology
