Beverage-drug interactions have remained an active area of research and have been the subject of extensive investigations in the past 2 decades. The known mechanisms of clinically relevant beverage-drug interactions include modulation of the activity of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A and organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP). For CYP3A-mediated beverage-drug interaction, the in vivo CYP3A inhibitory effect is limited to grapefruit juice (GFJ), which increases the bioavailability of several orally administered drugs that undergo extensive first-pass metabolism via enteric CYP3A. In contrast, clinically significant OATP-mediated beverage-drug interactions have been observed with not only GFJ but also orange juice, apple juice, and, most recently, green tea. Fruit juices and green tea are all a mixture of a large number of constituents. The investigation of specific constituent(s) responsible for the enzyme and/or transporter inhibition remains an active area of research, and many new findings have been obtained on this subject in the past several years. This review highlights the multiple mechanisms through which beverages can alter drug disposition and provides an update on the new findings of beverage-drug interactions, with a focus on fruit juices and green tea.
Abstract Background: Ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) protein kinase plays a critical role in the DNA damage response. M1774, a potent, selective, orally administered ATR inhibitor with antitumor activity in preclinical models, was evaluated in Part A1 of an open-label, single-arm study (NCT04170153) for safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD). M1774 monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors was well-tolerated and the totality of evidence, including quantitative model-based analyses, suggested the recommended dose for expansion (RDE) as 180 mg QD 2 weeks on/1 week off.1 Here, we report findings of the M1774 PD and immunophenotyping analyses. Methods: M1774 PD was explored by assessing phosphorylation by ATR of CHK1 (p-CHK1) in tumor and of H2AX (γ-H2AX) in serial blood samples, stimulated ex vivo with the radiomimetic 4-Nitroquinoline N-oxide or Dimethyl sulfoxide as control. A flow cytometry quantitative assay was used to measure γ-H2AX in the CD45+ lymphocytes fraction. The effect of M1774 on the immunophenotype was explored by flow cytometry. Blood samples were collected at baseline, 3 and 24 hours after first M1774 administration on day 1 of cycle 1 for the γ-H2AX analysis, and on Days 1 and 15 of Cycles 1 and 2 before treatment for immunophenotyping. Results: Preclinical tumor tissue-blood bridging PD analyses in a mouse model demonstrated that the inhibition of γ-H2AX in lymphocytes highly correlated with inhibition of p-CHK1 in tumor. Clinical data of γ-H2AX levels and immunophenotyping were generated for the blood samples collected from the 55 participants of Part A1 of the study. Exploratory PK-PD analysis using γ-H2AX levels 3 h post-dose on day 1 across the doses predicted target inhibition >80% for doses ≥130 mg, suggesting target engagement. The levels of ɣ-H2AX at 24 h after first dose intake were variable and mean levels rebounded to baseline value. M1774 treatment did not cause any significant and consistent change in the levels of all explored immune cell subsets at the tested dose levels, including myeloid-derived suppressor cells, T and B lymphocytes, monocytes, and natural killer cells. Conclusions: PD analyses showed that M1774 efficiently inhibited ATR at the RDE without impacting the immunophenotype. 1TA Yap, et al. Ann Oncol. 2022; 33(suppl_7): S197-S224.

Consumption of flaxseed lignans is associated with various health benefits; however, little is known about the bioavailability of purified lignans in flaxseed. Data on their bioavailability and hence pharmacokinetics (PK) are necessary to better understand their role in putative health benefits. In the present study, we conducted a comparative PK analysis of the principal lignan of flaxseed, secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG), and its primary metabolites, secoisolariciresinol (SECO), enterodiol (ED) and enterolactone (EL) in rats. Purified lignans were intravenously or orally administered to each male Wistar rat. SDG and its primary metabolites SECO, ED and EL were administered orally at doses of 40, 40, 10 and 10 mg/kg, respectively, and intravenously at doses of 20, 20, 5 and 1 mg/kg, respectively. Blood samples were collected at 0 (pre-dose), 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 45 min, and at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 h post-dosing, and serum samples were analysed. PK parameters and oral bioavailability of purified lignans were determined by non-compartmental methods. In general, administration of the flaxseed lignans SDG, SECO and ED demonstrated a high systemic clearance, a large volume of distribution and short half-lives, whereas administration of EL at the doses of 1 mg/kg (intravenously) and 10 mg/kg (orally administered) killed the rats within a few hours of dosing, precluding a PK analysis of this lignan. PK parameters of flaxseed lignans exhibited the following order: systemic clearance, SDG < SECO < ED; volume of distribution, SDG < SECO < ED; half-life, SDG < ED < SECO. The percentage of oral bioavailability was 0, 25 and < 1 % for SDG, SECO and ED, respectively.
The 2022 United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) draft guidance on diversity plan (DP), which will be implemented through the Diversity Action Plans by December 2025, under the 21st Century Cures Act, marks a pivotal effort by the FDA to ensure that registrational studies adequately reflect the target patient populations based on diversity in demographics and baseline characteristics. This white paper represents the culminated efforts of the International Consortium of Quality and Innovation (IQ) Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Working Group (WG) to assess the implementation of the draft FDA guidance by members of the IQ consortium in the discipline of clinical pharmacology (CP). This article describes current practices in the industry and emphasizes the tools and techniques of quantitative pharmacology that can be applied to support the inclusion of a diverse population during global drug development, to support diversity and inclusion of underrepresented patient populations, in multiregional clinical trials (MRCTs). It outlines strategic and technical recommendations to integrate demographics, including age, sex/gender, race/ethnicity, and comorbidities, in multiregional phase III registrational studies, through the application of quantitative pharmacology. Finally, this article discusses the challenges faced during global drug development, which may otherwise limit the enrollment of a broader, potentially diverse population in registrational trials. Based on the outcomes of the IQ survey that provided the current awareness of diversity planning, it is envisioned that in the future, industry efforts in the inclusion of previously underrepresented populations during global drug development will culminate in drug labels that apply to the intended patient populations at the time of new drug application or biologics license application rather than through post‐marketing requirements.
