Now it is commonly used in dietary supplements, functional foods, and nutraceuticals. However, the metabolism of silybin has not been systematically characterized in organisms to date. Therefore, we established a novel HPLC-Q-TOF/MS method to analyze and identify the prototype and metabolites of silybin in rats. Totally, 29 (out of 32) new metabolic pathways and 56 (out of 59) unreported metabolite products were detected. Moreover, we found that the liver had a high first-pass effect of 63.30%{plus minus}13.01 for silybin and only one metabolite was detected. And the metabolites identified in gastrointestinal tract possessed 88% of all (52 out of 59). At the same time, the high concentration of silybin in the livers also indicated large amounts of silybin may be accumulated in liver instead of being metabolized. These results indicated the primary metabolizing organ of silybin in rats was intestine rather than liver, which would also offer solid chemical foundation for exploring more promising health care products of silybin. <b>Significance Statement</b> This study confirmed the main metabolism place of silybin in rats were gastrointestinal tracts instead of livers and the intestinal microbes were closely involved.

Pharmacometabolomics aims to evaluate small molecule metabolites in plasma and/or urine to help evaluate mechanisms that predict and/or reflect drug efficacy and toxicity. In this mini review, we provide an overview of pharmacometabolomic approaches and methodologies. Relevant examples where metabolomic techniques have been used to better understand drug efficacy and toxicity in major depressive disorder and cancer chemotherapy are discussed. In addition, the utility of metabolomics in drug development and understanding drug metabolism, transport, and pharmacokinetics is reviewed. Pharmacometabolomic approaches can help describe factors mediating drug disposition, efficacy, and toxicity. While important advancements in this area have been made, there remain several challenges that must be overcome before this approach can be fully implemented into clinical drug therapy.

All of these factors contribute to a streamlined drug approval process and enhanced patient safety. Here we describe a new approach for early prediction of the magnitude of change in exposure for cytochrome P450 (P450) CYP3A4-related DDIs of small-molecule anticancer drugs based on the model-based extrapolation of human-CYP3A4-transgenic mice pharmacokinetics to humans. Victim drugs brigatinib and lorlatinib were evaluated with the new approach in combination with the perpetrator drugs itraconazole and rifampicin. Predictions of the magnitude of change in exposure deviated at most 0.99- to 1.31-fold from clinical trial results for inhibition with itraconazole, whereas exposure predictions for the induction with rifampicin were less accurate, with deviations of 0.22- to 0.48-fold. Results for the early prediction of DDIs and their clinical impact appear promising for CYP3A4 inhibition, but validation with more victim and perpetrator drugs is essential to evaluate the performance of the new method.

Phase separation is a process in which biomacromolecules aggregate and condense into a dense phase as liquid condensates and coexist with a dilute phase, contributing to various cellular and biologic functions. Until now, whether PXR could undergo phase separation remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether PXR undergoes phase separation. Analysis of the intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) using algorithm tools indicated a low propensity of PXR to undergo phase separation. Experimental assays such as hyperosmotic stress, agonist treatment, and optoDroplets assay demonstrated the absence of phase separation for PXR. OptoDroplets assay revealed the inability of the fusion protein of Cry2 with PXR to form condensates upon blue light stimulation. Moreover, phase separation of PXR did not occur even though the mRNA and protein expression levels of PXR target, cytochrome P450 3A4, changed after sorbitol treatment. In conclusion, for the first time, these findings suggested that exogenous PXR does not undergo phase separation following activation or under hyperosmotic stress in nucleus of cells. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: PXR plays a critical role in hepatic physiological and pathological processes. The present study clearly demonstrated that exogenous PXR does not undergo phase separation after activation by agonist or under hyperosmotic stress in nucleus.

This study elucidated the impact of VSL#3 on the metabolism of probe drugs for cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s), specifically omeprazole, tolbutamide, midazolam, metoprolol, phenacetin, and chlorzoxazone. Male Wistar rats were administered drinking water containing VSL#3 or not for 14 days and then intragastrically administered a P450 probe cocktail; this was done to investigate the host P450's metabolic phenotype. Stool, liver/jejunum, and serum samples were collected for 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing, RNA sequencing, and bile acid profiling. The results indicated significant differences in both <i>α</i> and <i>β</i> diversity of intestinal microbial composition between the probiotic and vehicle groups in rats. In the probiotic group, the bioavailability of omeprazole increased by 269.9%, whereas those of tolbutamide and chlorpropamide decreased by 28.1% and 27.4%, respectively. The liver and jejunum exhibited 1417 and 4004 differentially expressed genes, respectively, between the two groups. In the probiotic group, most of P450 genes were upregulated in the liver but downregulated in the jejunum. The expression of genes encoding metabolic enzymes and drug transporters also changed. The serum-conjugated bile acids in the probiotic group were significantly reduced. Shorter duodenal villi and longer ileal villi were found in the probiotic group. In summary, VSL#3 administration altered the gut microbiota, host drug-processing gene expression, and intestinal structure in rats, which could be reasons for pharmacokinetic changes.

Individuals exhibit marked differences in the expression and activation of hydrolases, resulting in significant variability in the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of drugs metabolized by these enzymes. The regulation of hydrolase expression and activity involves both genetic polymorphisms and nongenetic factors. This review examines the current understanding of genetic and nongenetic regulators of six clinically significant hydrolases, including carboxylesterase (CES)-1 CES2, arylacetamide deacetylase (AADAC), paraoxonase (PON)-1 PON3, and cathepsin A (CTSA). We explore genetic variants linked to the expression and activity of the hydrolases and their effects on the PK and PD of their substrate drugs. Regarding nongenetic regulators, we focus on the inhibitors and inducers of these enzymes. Additionally, we examine the developmental expression patterns and gender differences in the hydrolases when pertinent information was available. Many genetic and nongenetic regulators were found to be associated with the expression and activity of the hydrolases and PK and PD. However, hydrolases remain generally understudied compared with other drug-metabolizing enzymes, such as cytochrome P450s. The clinical significance of genetic and nongenetic regulators has not yet been firmly established for the majority of hydrolases. Comprehending the mechanisms that underpin the regulation of these enzymes holds the potential to refine therapeutic regimens, thereby enhancing the efficacy and safety of drugs metabolized by the hydrolases.

OLX702A-075-16 is a novel <i>N</i>-acetylgalactosamine conjugated asymmetric small-interfering RNA (GalNAc-asiRNA) used for the treatment of an undisclosed liver disease. Its unique 16/21-mer asymmetric structure reduces nonspecific off-target effects without compromising efficacy. We investigated the plasma concentration, tissue distribution, metabolism, and renal excretion of OLX702A-075-16 following a subcutaneous administration in mice and rats. For bioanalysis, high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection was used. The results showed rapid clearance from plasma (0.5 to 1.5 hours of half-life) and predominant distribution to the liver and/or kidney. Less than 1% of the liver concentration of OLX702A-075-16 was detected in the other tissues. Metabolite profiling using liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry revealed that the intact duplex OLX702A-075-16 was the major compound in plasma. The GalNAc moiety was predominantly metabolized from the sense strand in the liver, with the unconjugated sense strand of OLX702A-075-16 accounting for more than 95% of the total exposure in the rat liver. Meanwhile, the antisense strand was metabolized by the sequential loss of nucleotides from the 3'-terminus by exonuclease, with the rat liver samples yielding the most diverse truncated forms of metabolites. Urinary excretion over 96 hours was less than 1% of the administered dose in rats. High plasma protein binding of OLX702A-075-16 likely inhibited its clearance through renal filtration.

To date, limited information exists on how Oct1/OCT1 functionally develops with age in rat and human livers and how this would affect the pharmacokinetics of OCT substrates in children or juvenile animals. The functional ontogeny of rOct/hOCT was profiled in suspended rat (2-57 days old) and human hepatocytes (pediatric liver tissue donors: age 2-12 months) by determining uptake clearance of 4-[4-(dimethylamino)styryl]-N-methylpyridinium iodide (ASP+) as a known rOct/hOCT probe substrate. mRNA expression was determined in rat liver tissue corresponding to rat ages used in the functional studies, while hOCT1 mRNA expressions were determined in the same hepatocyte batches as those used for uptake studies. Maturation of rOct/hOCT activity and expression were evaluated by comparing values obtained at the various ages to the adult values. Relative to adult values (at 8 weeks), ASP⁺ uptake clearance in suspended rat hepatocytes aged 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 weeks reached 26%, 29%, 33%, 37%, 72%, 63%, and 71%, respectively. Hepatic Oct1 mRNA expression was consistent with Oct activity (correlation coefficient of 0.92). In human hepatocytes, OCT1 activity was age dependent and also correlated with mRNA levels (correlation coefficient of 0.88). These data show that Oct1/OCT1 activities and expression mature gradually in rat/human liver, thereby mirroring the expression pattern of organic anion transporting polypeptide in rat. These high-resolution transporter ontogeny profiles will allow for more accurate prediction of the pharmacokinetics of OCT1/Oct1 substrates in pediatric populations and juvenile animals.
