Book cover Enzyme- and Transporter-Based Drug-Drug Interactions

Abstract

Allosterism in enzymes and transporters can result in alterations in kinetic profiles and in rates of metabolism and transport. Cooperativity due to allosteric interactions has been observed with drug-metabolizing enzymes such as the cytochromes P450 and the uridine glucuronosyltransferases. In addition, transporters such as P-glycoprotein and breast cancer resistance protein have been demonstrated to also exhibit allosteric interactions resulting in cooperativity. Kinetic profiles such as autoactivation (sigmoidal profile), biphasic and substrate inhibition have been observed to occur due to homotropic cooperativity, and heteroactivation has been observed to occur due to heterocooperativity. Numerous examples of all types of allosteric interactions have been observed in vitro but in vivo examples are limited. The correct kinetic equation should be applied to kinetic profiles to properly estimate kinetic parameters for use in in vitro–in vivo correlations.
