Observation of Clinically Relevant Drug Interaction in Chimeric Mice with Humanized Livers: The Case of Valproic Acid and Carbapenem Antibiotics
2017
Background and Objective
Human in vitro and dog in vitro/in vivo researches indicate that the drug–drug interaction (DDI) of decreased plasma valproic acid (VPA) concentration by co-administration of carbapenem antibiotics is caused by inhibition of acylpeptide hydrolase (APEH)-mediated VPA acylglucuronide (VPA-G) hydrolysis by carbapenems. In this study, we investigated VPA disposition and APEH activities in TK-NOG chimeric mice, whose livers were highly replaced with human hepatocytes, to evaluate the utility of this animal model and the clinical relevance of the DDI mechanism.
