This study developed a whole-body PBPK model to describe and predict the effects of drug-gene interactions and drug-drug interactions on the exposure of clomiphene and its metabolites. The model showed good performance in predicting the effects with clarithromycin and paroxetine, and quantitatively assessed the contributions of different CYP enzymes to the metabolic pathways of clomiphene and its metabolites.
Clomiphene, a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), has been used for the treatment of anovulation for more than 50 years. However, since (E)-clomiphene ((E)-Clom) and its metabolites are eliminated primarily via Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 and CYP3A4, exposure can be affected by CYP2D6 polymorphisms and concomitant use with CYP inhibitors. Thus, clomiphene therapy may be susceptible to drug-gene interactions (DGIs), drug-drug interactions (DDIs) and drug-drug-gene interactions (DDGIs). Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling is a tool to quantify such DGI and DD(G)I scenarios. This study aimed to develop a whole-body PBPK model of (E)-Clom including three important metabolites to describe and predict DGI and DD(G)I effects. Model performance was evaluated both graphically and by calculating quantitative measures. Here, 90% of predicted C-max and 80% of AUC(last) values were within two-fold of the corresponding observed value for DGIs and DD(G)Is with clarithromycin and paroxetine. The model also revealed quantitative contributions of different CYP enzymes to the involved metabolic pathways of (E)-Clom and its metabolites. The developed PBPK model can be employed to assess the exposure of (E)-Clom and its active metabolites in as-yet unexplored DD(G)I scenarios in future studies.
