This is the first report quantitatively evaluating the clinical induction of CYP3A in the liver and the intestine.2. To evaluate hepatic induction, we collected literature data on endogenous biomarkers of hepatic CYP3A induction which we then used to calculate the fold-induction (inducer-mediated change in biomarker level). Literature data on decreases in the area under the curve (AUC) of alfentanil, a CYP3A substrate, caused by CYP3A inducers were also collected. We used the hepatic intrinsic clearance of alfentanil to calculate the hepatic induction ratio (inducer-mediated change in intrinsic clearance). For intestinal induction, the intestinal bioavailability (Fg) of alfentanil was used to calculate the intestinal induction ratio. We determined in vivo maximum induction (Emax) and the average unbound plasma concentration (Cav,u) required for half the maximum induction (EC50) for inducers using an Emax model analysis.3. In our results, fold-induction was comparable to the induction ratio at several inducer concentrations, and almost the maximum induction was achieved by a therapeutic dose. Induction ratios in the intestine were similar to the liver.4. Our findings suggest that, by knowing only hepatic induction ratios for common ...
