Influence of CYP2B6 Pharmacogenetics on Stereoselective Inhibition and Induction of Bupropion Metabolism by Efavirenz in Healthy Volunteers
JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY AND EXPERIMENTAL THERAPEUTICS(2022)
摘要
We investigated the acute and chronic effects of efavirenz, a widely used antiretroviral drug, and CYP2B6 genotypes on the disposition of racemic and stereoisomers of bupropion (BUP) and its active metabolites, 4-hydroxyBUP, threohydroBUP, and erythrohydroBUP. The primary objective of this study was to test how multiple processes unique to the efavirenz-CYP2B6 geno-type interaction influence the extent of efavirenz-mediated drug -drug interaction with the CYP2B6 probe substrate BUP. In a three-phase, sequential, open-label study, healthy volunteers (N 5 53) were administered a single 100 mg oral dose of BUP alone (control phase), with a single 600 mg oral efavirenz dose (inhibition phase), and after 17 days pretreatment with efavirenz (600 mg/d) (induction phase). Compared with the control phase, we show for the first time that efavirenz significantly decreases (by 11%-26%) and chronically increases (by 24%-61%) the ex-posure of hydroxyBUP and its diastereomers, respectively, and the extent of these interactions were CYP2B6 genotype depen-dent. Chronic efavirenz enhances the elimination of racemic BUP and its enantiomers (by 51%-56%) as well as of threo-and erythrohydroBUP and their diastereomers (by 34%-58%), suggesting additional novel mechanisms underlying efavirenz were virenz-BUP SIGNIFICANCE The tabolites. virenzinteraction with BUP. The effects of efavirenz and genotypes were nonstereospecific. In conclusion, acute and chronic admin-istration of efavirenz inhibits and induces CYP2B6 activity. Efa-virenz-BUP interaction is complex, involving time-and CYP2B6 genotype-dependent inhibition and induction of primary and secondary metabolic pathways. Our findings highlight important implications to the safety and efficacy of BUP, study design con-siderations for future efavirenz interactions, and individualized drug therapy based on CYP2B6 genotypes.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT The effects of acute and chronic doses of efavirenz on the dis-position of racemic and stereoisomers of bupropion (BUP) and its active metabolites were investigated in healthy volunteers. Efavirenz causes an acute inhibition but chronic induction of CYP2B6 in a genotype-dependent manner. Chronic efavirenz induces BUP reduction and the elimination of BUP active me-tabolites. These data reveal novel mechanisms underlying efa-virenz drug-drug interaction (DDI) with BUP and provide important insights into time-and CYP2B6 genotype-dependent DDIs.
