Administration of delavirdine, an HIV-1 reverse transcriptase
inhibitor, to rats or monkeys resulted in apparent loss of hepatic microsomal CYP3A and delavirdine desalkylation activity. Human CYP3A
catalyzes the formation of desalkyl delavirdine and 6'-hydroxy delavirdine, an unstable metabolite, while CYP2D6 catalyzes only desalkyl delavirdine. CYP2D6 catalyzed desalkyl delavirdine formation was linear with time (up to 30 min) but when catalyzed by cDNA expressed CYP3A4 or human liver microsomes the reaction rate declined progressively with time. Coincubation with triazolam showed that delavirdine caused a time- and NADPH-dependent loss of CYP3A4 activity
in human liver microsomes as measured by triazolam 1'-hydroxylation. The catalytic activity loss was saturable and was characterized by a
Ki of 21.6 ± 8.9 µM and
a kinact of 0.59 ± 0.08 min
1. An apparent partition ratio of 41 was
determined with cDNA expressed CYP3A4, based on the substrate depletion
method. Incubation of [14C]delavirdine with microsomes
from several species resulted in irreversible association with an
approximately 50 kDa protein, as demonstrated by
SDS-PAGE/autoradiography. Binding to the protein was NADPH dependent,
glutathione insensitive, proportional to the level of CYP3A expression
and was inhibited by ketoconazole, a specific CYP3A inhibitor.
NADPH-dependent irreversible binding to human and rat total microsomal
protein was demonstrated following exhaustive extraction of microsomal
protein. Binding was decreased in the presence of glutathione and
appeared to be related to expression level of CYP3A. These results
suggest that delavirdine can inactivate CYP3A and has the potential to
slow the metabolism of coadministered CYP3A substrates.
