Evaluation of Adverse Drug Properties with Cryopreserved Human Hepatocytes and the Integrated Discrete Multiple Organ Co-culture (IdMOCTM) System
نویسنده
چکیده
Human hepatocytes, with complete hepatic metabolizing enzymes, transporters and cofactors, represent the gold standard for in vitro evaluation of drug metabolism, drug-drug interactions, and hepatotoxicity. Successful cryopreservation of human hepatocytes enables this experimental system to be used routinely. The use of human hepatocytes to evaluate two major adverse drug properties: drug-drug interactions and hepatotoxicity, are summarized in this review. The application of human hepatocytes in metabolism-based drug-drug interaction includes metabolite profiling, pathway identification, P450 inhibition, P450 induction, and uptake and efflux transporter inhibition. The application of human hepatocytes in toxicity evaluation includes in vitro hepatotoxicity and metabolism-based drug toxicity determination. A novel system, the Integrated Discrete Multiple Organ Co-culture (IdMOC) which allows the evaluation of nonhepatic toxicity in the presence of hepatic metabolism, is described.

In vitro evaluation of human xenobiotic toxicity: scientific concepts and the novel integrated discrete multiple cell co-culture (IdMOC) technology.
In vitro human-based experimental systems represent a relevant preclinical tool for the definition of human xenobiotic properties as human-specific xenobiotic properties, by definition, cannot be detected with nonhuman laboratory animals. For the evaluation of human-specific xenobiotic toxicity, the experimental system should have human xenobiotic metabolism as well as cell populations represen...

The recent developments in the isolation, culturing, and cryopreservation of human hepatocytes, and the application of the cells in drug development are reviewed. Recent advances include the improvement of cryopreservation procedures to allow cell attachment, thereby extending the use of the cells to assays that requires prolong culturing such as enzyme induction studies. Applications of human ...

The application of the Integrated Discrete Multiple Organ Co-culture (IdMOC) system in the evaluation of organ-specific toxicity is reviewed. In vitro approaches to predict in vivo toxicity have met with limited success, mainly because of the complexity of in vivo toxic responses. In vivo properties that are not well-represented in vitro include organ-specific responses, multiple organ metaboli...
متن کاملHuman hepatocytes as an effective alternative experimental system for the evaluation of human drug properties: general concepts and assay procedures.
Human-based in vitro hepatic experimental systems are now used routinely in drug development. The rationale for the use of human-based in vitro systems is based on the known species-species differences in drug properties. Human-specific drug properties, by definition, cannot be defined using nonhuman experimental animals, and therefore can only be assessed in the preclinical phase of drug devel...
متن کاملUse of cryopreserved human hepatocytes in sandwich culture to measure hepatobiliary transport.
Fresh hepatocytes cultured in a sandwich configuration allow for the development of intact bile canaliculi and the ability to measure hepatic uptake and biliary clearance. A disadvantage of this model is its dependence upon hepatocytes from fresh tissue. Therefore, the ability to use cryopreserved human hepatocytes in this model would be a great advantage. Multiple variables were tested, and th...
