Predicting human hepatic clearance from in vitro drug metabolism and transport data: a scientific and pharmaceutical perspective for assessing drug–drug interactions

Camenisch, Gian, Umehara, Ken‐ichi·2012·Biopharmaceutics & Drug Disposition

Abstract

Objectives: Membrane transporters and metabolism are major determinants of the hepatobiliary elimination of drugs. This work investigates several key questions for drug development. Such questions include which drugs demonstrate transporter‐based clearance in the clinic, and which in vitro methods are most suitable for drug classification, i.e. transporter‐ vs metabolism‐dependent compound class categories. Additional questions posed are: what is the expected quantitative change in exposure in the presence of a transporter‐ and/or metabolism‐inhibiting drug, and which criteria should trigger follow‐up clinical drug–drug interaction studies. Methods: A well‐established method for (human) liver clearance prediction that considers all four physiological processes driving hepatic drug elimination (namely sinusoidal uptake and efflux, metabolism and biliary secretion) was applied. Suspended hepatocytes, liver microsomes and sandwich‐cultured hepatocytes were used as in vitro models to determine the individual intrinsic clearance for 13 selected compounds with various physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties. Results: Using this in vitro–in vivo extrapolation method a good linear correlation was observed between predicted and reported human hepatic clearances. Linear regression analysis revealed much improved correlations compared with other prediction methods. Conclusions: The presented approach serves as a basis for accurate compound categorization within the Biopharmaceutics Drug Disposition Classification System (BDDCS) and was applied to anticipate metabolism‐ and transporter‐based drug–drug interactions using different static prediction methods. A decision tree proposal is provided and helps to guide clinical studies on active processes influencing hepatic elimination. All recommendations in this paper are generally intended to support early pre‐clinical and clinical drug development and the filing of a new drug application.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
