Biochemical and analytical development of the CIME cocktail for drug fate assessment in humans.
Phenotyping based on drug metabolism activity appears to be informative regarding mechanism-based interactions during drug development. We report here the first steps of the development of the innovative CIME cocktail. This cocktail is designed not only for the major cytochrome P450, with caffeine, amodiaquine, tolbutamide, omeprazole, dextromethorphan and midazolam as substrates of CYP1A2, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6 and CYP3A, respectively, but also phase II enzymes UGT 1A1/6/9 with acetaminophen, P-gp and OATP1B1 with digoxin and rosuvastatin, and renal function with memantine. An assay combining ultra-performance liquid chromatography using a 1.7 microm particle size column with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC/MS/MS) was set up for the simultaneous quantification of the 20 substrates and metabolites after extraction from human plasma using solid-phase extraction. The method was validated in the spirit of the FDA guidelines. Mean accuracy ranged from 87.7 to 115%, the coefficient of variance (CV%) of intra- and inter-run from 1.7 to 16.4% and from 1.6 to 14.9%, respectively, and for the limit of quantification (LOQ) with ten lots of plasma, accuracy ranged from 84 to 115% and CV% precision was <16%. Short-term stability was evaluated in eluate (4 h, room temperature), plasma (24 h, room temperature), the autosampler (24 h, 4 degrees C) and in three freeze/thaw cycles in plasma. All except three analytes were stable under these conditions. For the three others a specific process can be followed. This robust, fast and sensitive assay in human plasma provides an analytical tool for ten-probe drugs of the CIME cocktail. Clinical samples will be assayed in the near future using this new assay method.
