We evaluated the in vitro drug–drug interaction (DDI) potential of enerisant (TS-091), a histamine H3 receptor antagonist/inverse agonist, mediated by cytochrome P450 (CYP) and transporters, as well as the pharmacokinetics of enerisant in healthy male subjects. Enerisant did not inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, or CYP3A4 and did not induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6, or CYP3A4. Enerisant inhibited organic cation transporter 2, multidrug and toxin extrusion protein (MATE) 1, and MATE2-K, but not P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein, organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1, OATP1B3, organic anion transporter (OAT) 1, or OAT3. Enerisant was a substrate for P-gp, but not for eight other transporters. In healthy male subjects, enerisant was rapidly absorbed after oral administration, and the plasma concentration increased dose-dependently. The urinary excretion of enerisant within 48 h after administration was 64.5% to 89.9% of the dose, indicating that most of the absorbed enerisant was excreted in the urine without being metabolized. Based on the plasma concentrations at the estimated clinical dose, enerisant is unlikely to cause CYP-mediated, clinically relevant DDI. Although the possibility of transporter-mediated, clinically relevant DDI cannot be ruled out, there is little or no risk of side effects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

1. We evaluated potentialin vitrodrug interactions of luseogliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, mediated by CYP inhibition, CYP induction and drug transporters using human liver microsomes, primary hepatocytes and recombinant cells-expressing efflux or uptake transporters, respectively. 2. Human CYP inhibition studies indicated that luseogliflozin was a weak inhibitor for CYP2C19 with an IC50value of 58.3 μM, whereas it was not an inhibitor of the other eight major isoforms that were tested. The exposure of primary hepatocytes to luseogliflozin for 72 hrs weakly induced CYP3A4 at a concentration of 10 μM, whereas it did not induce CYP1A2 or CYP2B6 at concentrations of 0.1–10 μM. 3. Anin vitrotransport study suggested that luseogliflozin is a substrate for human P-glycoprotein (P-gp), but not for breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 and OATP1B3, organic anion transporter (OAT) 1 and OAT3, or organic cation transporter (OCT) 2. Luseogliflozin weakly inhibited OATP1B3 with an IC50value of 93.1 μM, but those for other transporters are greater than 100 μM. 4. Based on the therapeutic plasma concentration of the drug, clinically relevant drug interactions are unlikely to occur between luseogliflozin and coadministered drugs mediated by CYPs and/or transporters.
