Sensitivity of ivacaftor to drug-drug interactions with rifampin, a cytochrome P450 3A4 inducer

Drug interactions due to cytochrome P450.

Cytochrome P450 is a family of isozymes responsible for the biotransformation of several drugs. Drug metabolism via the cytochrome P450 system has emerged as an important determinant in the occurrence of several drug interactions that can result in drug toxicities, reduced pharmacological effect, and adverse drug reactions. Recognizing whether the drugs involved act as enzyme substrates, induce...

Role of cytochrome P450 in drug interactions

Drug-drug interactions have become an important issue in health care. It is now realized that many drug-drug interactions can be explained by alterations in the metabolic enzymes that are present in the liver and other extra-hepatic tissues. Many of the major pharmacokinetic interactions between drugs are due to hepatic cytochrome P450 (P450 or CYP) enzymes being affected by previous administra...

Effects of Tenapanor on Cytochrome P450‐Mediated Drug‐Drug Interactions

Tenapanor (RDX5791, AZD1722) is an inhibitor of sodium/hydrogen exchanger isoform 3 in development for the treatment of constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome and the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis. We aimed to investigate whether tenapanor inhibits or induces cytochrome P450s (CYPs). In vitro experiments assessing the potential of ...

Drug-associated disease: cytochrome P450 interactions.

Critically ill patients generally are older, frequently have organ failure, and commonly receive multiple medications, all of which make them susceptible to adverse effects of drugs. Drug interactions are a common adverse effect, and many are predictable based on understanding the mechanisms that underlie drug interactions. This article identifies commonly used medications in critically ill pat...
