Identification of Selective CYP3A7 and CYP3A4 Substrates and Inhibitors Using a High-Throughput Screening Platform.

ABSTRACT: Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A7 is one of the major xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes in human embryonic, fetal, and newborn liver. CYP3A7 expression has also been observed in a subset of the adult population, including pregnant women, as well as in various cancer patients. The characterization of CYP3A7 is not as extensive as other CYPs, and health authorities have yet to provide guidance towards DDI assessment. To identify potential CYP3A7-specific molecules, we used a P450-Glo CYP3A7 enzyme assay to screen a library of ∼5,000 compounds, including FDA-approved drugs and drug-like molecules, and compared these screening data with that from a P450-Glo CYP3A4 assay. Additionally, a subset of 1,000 randomly selected compounds were tested in a metabolic stability assay. By combining the data from the
