}The substrate depletion method is a popular approach used for the measurement of in vitro intrinsic clearance (CLint). However, the incubation conditions used in these studies can vary, the consequences of which have not been systematically explored. Initial substrate depletion incubations using rat microsomes and hepatocytes were performed for eight benzodiazepines: alprazolam, clobazam, clonazepam, chlordiazepoxide, diazepam, flunitrazepam, midazolam, and triazolam. Subsequent predictions of…

It is demonstrated that the predicted hepatic intrinsic clearances from cryopreserved hepatocytes show an excellent rank order with in vivo findings but are systematically underpredicting the in vivo value.
Impact of end-product inhibition on the determination of in vitro metabolic clearance
- Biology, MedicineXenobiotica; the fate of foreign compounds in biological systems
- 2005
End-product inhibition may be more prominent in microsomes (in particular for substrate depletion assays where metabolism tends to be more extensive); results suggest that this phenomenon may contribute to the observed variations in metabolism characteristics and intrinsic clearance (CLint) between hepatocytes andmicrosomes.

Dual incubations are performed where one set of incubations undergo conventional methodology, whereas for the second set, cells and media are separated for determination of drug loss from the media, and whether or not the biphasic nature is evident, indicating transporter activity for a particular drug appears to be dependent on its passive permeability.

Methods for Determination of Enzyme Kinetics and Metabolic Rates

Determination of the enzyme kinetics and clearance mechanisms of new chemical entities is critical in assessing their viability as new drug therapies and choosing the appropriate in vitro system for these analyses is a critical step in making dose projections of the new chemical entity.

It is shown the substrate-depletion approach can be used to estimate KM and Vmax using both human liver microsomes and recombinant P450s, and will aid in the understanding of dosages at which non-linearity may occur, but potentially aid predictions of likely clinical drug–drug interactions.
