Description
Summary:The 2020 FDA drug-drug interaction (DDI) guidance includes a consideration for metabolites with structural alerts for potential mechanism-based inhibition (MBI) and describes how this information may be used to determine whether in vitro studies need to be conducted to evaluate the inhibitory potential of a metabolite on CYP enzymes. To facilitate identification of structural alerts, an extensive literature search was performed and alerts for mechanism-based inhibition of cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP) were collected. Furthermore, five quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models were developed to predict not only time-dependent inhibition of CYP3A4, an enzyme that metabolizes approximately 50% of all marketed drugs, but also reversible inhibition of 3A4, 2C9, 2C19 and 2D6. The non-proprietary training database for the QSAR models contains data for 10,129 chemicals harvested from FDA drug approval packages and published literature. The cross-validation performance statistics for the new CYP QSAR models range from 78% to 84% sensitivity and 79%–84% normalized negative predictivity. Additionally, the performance of the newly developed QSAR models was assessed using external validation sets. Overall performance statistics showed up to 75% in sensitivity and up to 80% in normalized negative predictivity. The newly developed models will provide a faster and more effective evaluation of potential drug-drug interaction caused by metabolites.
