This underscores the importance of understanding drug metabolism in drug discovery and development. Considering the substantial costs associated with traditional drug development methods, computational approaches have emerged as valuable tools for predicting the metabolic fate of drug candidates. With this in mind, the present study aimed to investigate the potential mechanisms underlying the modulation of microsomal cytochrome P450 3A1 (CYP3A1) enzyme activity by various phytochemicals found in <i>Cichorium intybus</i> L., commonly known as chicory. To achieve this goal, several <i>in silico</i> methods, including molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, were employed to explore computationally the microsomal CYP3A1 enzyme. Schrodinger software was utilized for the molecular docking study, which involved the interaction analysis between CYP3A1 and 28 phytoconstituents of <i>Cichorium intybus</i>. Virtual screening of 28 compounds from chicory led to the identification of the top five ranked compounds. These compounds were evaluated for drug-likeness properties, pharmacokinetic profiles, and predicted binding affinities to CYP3A1. Caffeoylshikimic acid and cichoric acid emerged as promising candidates due to their favorable characteristics, including good oral bioavailability and high binding affinities to CYP3A1. Molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to assess the stability of caffeoylshikimic acid within the CYP3A1 binding pocket. The results demonstrated that caffeoylshikimic acid maintained stable interactions with the enzyme throughout the simulation, suggesting its potential as an effective modulator of CYP3A1 activity. The findings of this study have the potential to provide valuable insights into the complex molecular mechanisms by which <i>Cichorium intybus</i> L. acts on hepatocytes and modulates CYP3A1 enzyme expression or activity. By elucidating the impact of these phytochemicals on drug metabolism, this research contributes to our understanding of how chicory may interact with drugs and influence their efficacy and safety profiles.</p>","PeriodicalId":8865,"journal":{"name":"Biopharmaceutics & Drug Disposition","volume":"45 1","pages":"15-29"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139511610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three SCO-267-derived glutathione (GSH) conjugates (M1–M3) were found both in rat and human liver microsomal incubations supplemented with GSH and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate.

Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into a normal group, model group, and Shenkang injection group. A rat model of CRF was induced by adenine gavage and then followed by drug administration via tail vein injection. Orbital blood was collected at different timepoints and the blood concentrations of the four active components were measured by UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS. Serum levels of creatinine (Scr), urea nitrogen (BUN), and uric acid (UA) were determined using an automatic biochemical analyzer. A PK-PD model was established, and DAS 3.2.6 software was used for model fitting as well as statistical analysis. TGF-β1 was utilized to induce normal rat kidney cells to construct a renal fibrosis model to investigate the protective effect of the pharmacological components on renal fibrosis. The pharmacokinetic analysis of hydroxy saffron yellow pigment A, tanshinol, rheum emodin, and astragaloside IV based on UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS was stable.

The PK-PD model showed that the four active components in the Shenkang injection group could fit well with the three effect measures (i.e. Scr, BUN, and UA), with the measured values similar to the predicted values. The cell model of renal fibrosis showed that the connective tissue growth factor and FN1 protein expression levels were significantly lower in the Shenkang injection group than those in the model group, and the cell fibrosis was improved.

However, initially, IVIVE were mainly based on mean in vitro data, giving no estimation of between or within subject variability (BSV/WSV) and, therefore, have a limited ability to address the extremes of risk in real patients or replicate scenarios such as bioequivalence. In other words, ADME properties were estimated considering an average subject, if such a subject exists, under a constant non‐variant condition for all the physiology and biology. Integrating IVIVE with PBPK modeling enables predictions in virtual cohorts including estimation of BSV (Rostami‐Hodjegan & Tucker, 2007), and some recent advances were also made to address the WSV that are essential elements of virtual bioequivalence studies (Bego et al., 2022). Historically, Monte Carlo simulations are used when developing population PBPK models which commonly do not consider the parameter’s inter‐dependencies. However, it is imperative to mechanistically incorporate covariates in these models and to employ correlated Monte Carlo simulations instead (Jamei, 2016; Jamei et al., 2009). In doing so, the predicted PK properties are inherently affected by the relevant covariates (Rostami‐Hodjegan & Tucker, 2007). However, translation of in vitro ADME properties within PBPK models is associated with uncertainties related not only to the knowledge gaps in system parameters, but also to the translatability (scaling) of drug parameters (Rostami‐Hodjegan, 2018). In this context, Mao and co‐workers applied PBPK modeling to predict human PK and assessed model performance retrospectively using clinical data for 18 Genentech compounds (Mao et al., 2023). Currently, the main regulatory application of PBPK modeling is to investigate enzyme‐ or transporter‐mediated drug–drug interactions (Zhang et al., 2020). In this special issue, Vijaywargi and co‐workers compared the performance of static and PBPK models to predict transporter‐mediated DDIs. The authors also discussed the usefulness of endogenous biomarkers, the use of empirical scaling factors, enzyme–transporter interplay, and acceptance criteria for model validation to meet the regulatory expectations (Vijaywargi et al., 2023). The separation between system and drug parameters is an important feature of PBPK modeling with respect to extrapolating results between species and populations. In this special issue Alsmadi and Alzughoul integrate preclinical data and a IVIVE‐PBPK model to extrapolate drug elimination in renally impaired patients (Alsmadi & Alzughoul, 2023).
