Abstract

Rifampin demonstrated dose-dependent relative induction between cytochrome P (CYP)3A and P-glycoprotein (P-gp), organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs), or CYP2C9; P-gp, OATP, and CYP2C9 induction was one drug-drug interaction (DDI) category lower than that observed for CYP3A across a wide range of pregnane X receptor (PXR) agonism. The objective of this study was to determine if these relationships could be utilized to predict transporter induction by other CYP3A inducers (rifabutin and carbamazepine) and of another P-gp substrate, sofosbuvir. Healthy subjects received sofosbuvir and a six-probe drug cassette before and after 300 mg q.d. rifabutin or 300 mg b.i.d. carbamazepine. Induction of P-gp, CYP2C9, and decreased sofosbuvir exposure were successfully predicted by observed CYP3A induction. Carbamazepine induction of OATP was underpredicted, likely due to reported additional non-PXR agonism. The results demonstrate that the effect of a PXR agonist on CYP3A can be leveraged to inform on induction liability for other primarily PXR-regulated P450s/transporters, allowing for prioritization of targeted DDI assessments during new drug development.
