Patient Risk Factors
Older age: 79 years old—altered pharmacokinetics and pharmaco­dynamics
Female gender: decreased ability to metabolize compared to males Renal dysfunction: decreased clearance of renally eliminated
medications, which may result in increased serum concentrations of drug and accumulation
With regard to drug-specific factors, F.D. has been taking phenytoin, a drug with an NTI, for the past several years. She will be receiving warfarin, another agent with NTI. Both medications are metabolized via the CYP system. In addition, F.D. is at increased risk of additional drug interactions owing to polypharmacy because she has chronic disease comorbidities (ie, seizure disorder, hypercholesterolemia, and osteoporosis).
Drug Risk Factors
Warfarin—NTI, highly protein bound to albumin, small volume of distribution, metabolized by the CYP system
Phenytoin—NTI, highly protein bound to albumin, metabolized by CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 isoforms, and susceptible to drugs that inhibit hepatic microsomal enzymes
Fluvastatin and other agents in this class (eg, atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, and simvastatin)—suspected or known to alter the INR in patients who receive warfarin, whereas pravastatin does not appear to interact with warfarin
35–37
Unknown OTC product
Other Risk Factors
Polypharmacy—before admission, she is already taking three prescription drugs and also takes OTC products. She is a poor historian.

MECHANISMS OF DRUG INTERACTIONS
Pharmacokinetics
ADMINISTRATION/ABSORPTION
Following oral administration, most drug absorption occurs in the proximal small intestine.38 However, drug interactions that alter absorption may occur throughout the gastrointestinal (GI) tract by a variety of mechanisms, including complexation (adsorption or chelation), changes in pH, changes in GI motility, altered drug transport, and enzymatic metabolism. The net effect of one or more of these mechanisms is a change in the rate of absorption, the extent of absorption, or a combination of both. Although interactions that result in a reduced rate of absorption are generally not clinically significant for drugs given over the long term in multiple doses, for acutely administered drugs, such as analgesics or hypnotics, this can lead to an unaccepted delay or therapeutic failure.
1,39
With regard to changes in gastric pH, the majority of drugs that are orally administered must be dissolved and absorbed in a gastric pH between 2.5 and 3. Drugs, such as antacids, proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), or H2-antagonists, can alter the kinetics of coadministered
drugs.3 Antifungal agents, such as ketoconazole or itraconazole, require an acidic environment to be properly dissolved. Coadministration with drugs that increase gastric pH may cause a reduction in the dissolution and absorption of antifungal drugs. It is recommended that these antifungal agents be administered at least 2 hours after the administration of antacids.
Coadministration of medications around the same time can result in drug interactions that may be clinically significant. Some antibiotics, such as tetracyclines, will combine with metal ions (eg, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, iron) to form complexes that are
https://t.me/medicina_free
poorly absorbed. Antacids also reduce the absorption of fluoroquinolones (eg, ciprofloxacin) because the metal ions form complexes with the drug. Therefore, the antacids and fluoroquinolones should be administered at least 2 hours apart. These types of interactions can decrease clinical effectiveness of the antibiotic and can lead to the emergence of resistant organisms.
34
Drugs that are able to increase the gastric transit, such as metoclopramide owing to its prokinetic properties, may accelerate gastric emptying, resulting in decreased absorption of drugs, such as digoxin or theophylline.
Altered drug transport
Transport proteins, which are present in the intestinal mucosa, are important considerations in clinically relevant DDIs.38 Some proteins are involved in the transport of compounds from the lumen of the intestine into the portal bloodstream, whereas others are involved in the efflux of compounds from the intestinal mucosa back into the gut lumen. The efflux transporters, particularly a specific glycoprotein, which resides in the cell membrane, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), are the most well known. P-gp is an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)­dependent transporter that is genetically encoded and located on the apical surface of mucosal cells in the intestine, generally in increasing concentration from the stomach to the colon. In addition, P-gp is also present on a number of lymphocyte subsets and within the brain capillary endothelial cells. The primary role of P-gp is to limit systematic drug exposure, pumping compounds from the inside of the cell back into the gut lumen, into renal tubules in the kidney, and into bile in the liver. Given its presence in various anatomic locations, drug-induced modulation of P-gp activity may affect the absorption and/or distribution of a coadministered substrate medication. There are several drugs that are known to block the action of P-gp and are known as P-gp inhibitors, and there are drugs that have been shown to cause induction of P-gp. Coadministration of a P-gp substrate with an inhibitor increases the amount of substrate available for absorption and may result in an elevated
https://t.me/medicina_free
serum drug concentration. For drugs such as rifampin that increase expression of P-gp (ie, P-gp inducer), the coadministration of a substrate results in an enhanced efflux of the substrate into the gut lumen and lowers serum concentration of the substrate.
DISTRIBUTION
CASE 3-1, QUESTION 2: What is the interaction of warfarin and phenytoin
based on protein binding?
Following administration and absorption, drugs are distributed throughout the body.
38,39
Drugs such as warfarin and phenytoin are highly bound to protein (primarily to albumin) with the same affinity binding sites (Fig. 3-1). Drugs that are highly protein bound (>90%), those with an NTI, and those with a small volume of distribution are more likely to result in significant drug interactions.

and Tozer’s Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics: Concepts and Applications. 5th ed. Wolters Kluwer; 2020.)
Warfarin can be displaced from protein-binding sites by drugs such as phenytoin. Although this displacement occurs quickly with rapid changes in serum warfarin levels, typically, this interaction is not clinically significant. Warfarin that is displaced from protein-binding sites is readily available for elimination by hepatic metabolism, resulting in increased clearance without a significant change in the free drug concentration. Because warfarin’s anticoagulant action takes several days because of the long half-lives of some of the vitamin K–dependent clotting factors, warfarin equilibrium is reestablished before a new steady state can be reached for these clotting factors.
33
METABOLISM
Pharmacokinetic interactions that involve changes in metabolism are a common cause of clinically significant drug interactions. Drug metabolism is divided into two general categories: phase I and phase II reactions.
38,39
Phase I reactions involve intramolecular changes including oxidation, reduction, and hydrolysis, which increases the polar nature of the drug, generally making it less toxic. Phase II reactions generally involve combining a phase I product with an endogenous substance, resulting in glucuronidation, sulfation, acetylation, and methylation, and primarily results in termination of biologic activity of the drug.
40,41
The main enzymes that are responsible for drug-metabolizing systems in phase I reactions are the CYP enzymes, which play a key role in many therapeutically important drug interactions.
1,2
Drugs that are metabolized by the same CYP enzyme family, when administered concurrently, may interact with each other as a result of induction or inhibition.
40,41
Of the human CYP enzyme family, the six isoenzymes
CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, and CYP3A5
https://t.me/medicina_free
contribute to the metabolism of a vast majority of drugs compared with other enzymes (Fig. 3-2).
6,42–44
Examples of drug that induce enzymes are rifampin, phenytoin, carbamazepine, St. John’s wort, and nevirapine. Enzyme inducers cause an increase in the synthesis of the enzyme(s) responsible for metabolism of the substrate drug. The mechanisms of induction are complex involving presystemic metabolism via induction of hepatic and/or intestinal drug– metabolizing enzymes, subsequently reducing serum concentrations with a loss of pharmacologic activity of the drug. In some cases, induction will increase the formation of metabolites that are pharmacologically or toxicologically active.
1,44,45
There are many drugs that are inhibitors of CYP including some drugs within these classes: statins, macrolide antibiotics, antifungal azoles, fluoroquinolones, and HIV protease inhibitors. Inhibition of drug metabolism slows down the rate of drug metabolism, resulting in an increase in the amount of drug in the body and potential toxicity. Grapefruit juice is an inhibitor of CYP3A4 and has been known to increase the bioavailability and reduce the clearance of many drugs, including HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), calcium antagonists, HIV protease inhibitors, and immunosuppressant agents.
46–49
Inhibition can be described as reversible or irreversible, with the reversible ones being a more common process. There are three mechanisms of reversible inhibition: competitive inhibition (competition between the inhibitor and the substrate for the enzyme’s active site), noncompetitive inhibition (binding of the inhibitor to a separate site on the enzyme, rendering the enzyme complex nonfunctional), and uncompetitive inhibition (binding of the inhibitor only to the substrate–enzyme complex, rendering it ineffective).
1,49,50
Irreversible inhibition occurs when the perpetrator drug forms a reactive intermediate with the enzyme that leads to a permanent inhibition of the enzyme. Irreversible drug interactions tend to be more profound than those caused by reversible mechanisms. Examples of drugs that are known to cause irreversible inhibition include macrolide antibiotics, erythromycin, clarithromycin, paroxetine, and diltiazem.

CASE 3-1, QUESTION 3: The medical team starts warfarin therapy for F.D. for
postoperative thromboembolism prophylaxis. What are the mechanisms of drug interactions to consider with the use of warfarin and phenytoin because F.D. has been taking phenytoin for several years and her seizure disorder has been controlled on it?

There are two potential mechanisms for a warfarin (drug)– phenytoin (drug) interaction. In early therapy, there could be a displacement of warfarin from protein-binding sites by phenytoin (as described in the previous case question) and a possible enhancement of the anticoagulant effect and risk for bleeding. This is primarily a concern in patients with hepatic impairment. With prolonged therapy, there could be a phenytoin-induced CYP enzyme induction, thereby enhancing warfarin metabolism, resulting in a decreased warfarin effect. INR monitoring on postoperative days 1 through 5 will provide information on the impact of the DDI, and incorporation of a warfarin initiation guideline or algorithm will help adjust dosing until a stable regimen is established. After the initial period, weekly INR monitoring will provide information on enzyme induction and further adjustment of warfarin doses.
Warfarin is rapidly and completely absorbed after oral administration, with the proximal duodenum appearing to be the most likely location of absorption. Case reports of warfarin malabsorption, whether acquired, related to surgery, or inflammatory conditions, are rare.
53
The rate and extent of phenytoin absorption varies considerably among oral dosage forms.54 Phenytoin suspension is poorly absorbed when administered via feeding tube with continuous enteral feedings.55 The time to reach maximum plasma levels increases with increasing dose.56 This is a reflection of low phenytoin solubility and capacity-limited metabolism. Therefore, a small change in the dosage form or bioavailability, coupled with limited metabolism, can produce a large change in plasma drug concentration.57 GI surgery and GI inflammatory conditions (Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis, scleroderma, etc.) can change the anatomy of the GI tract. Alterations to surface area, gastric emptying time, gastric pH, and inflammation of the intestinal lining may lead to abnormal plasma concentrations.

F.D.’s GI function is still preserved after orthopedic surgery. Warfarin administration and absorption is unlikely to be impacted. She should continue on the same phenytoin dose and formulation that she has been taking at home with appropriate monitoring.
Pharmacokinetic interactions influencing the metabolism of warfarin and clinically significant interactions are likely with warfarin use when its metabolism is induced or inhibited.49 Warfarin is a racemic mixture of R- and S-enantiomers. Interactions involving agents known to influence the hepatic microsomal enzyme systems responsible for the metabolism of the more potent S-enantiomer (CYP2C9) are more significant than those that influence the enzymes that metabolize R-enantiomer (CYP1A2, CYP3A4). Phenytoin is also predominately metabolized via the CYP2C9 enzyme and has been reported to interact with warfarin in a biphasic manner.
50–52
Genetic polymorphism also is a significant factor affecting warfarin dosing and response. Nucleotide polymorphisms have been identified that influence warfarin metabolism and sensitivity, including variants of CYP2C9 and variants in vitamin K epoxide reductase complex (VKORC1).
59
EXCRETION/ELIMINATION
Drugs are excreted and eliminated mainly via the kidneys (glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, and active tubular secretion); other important, though less common, routes are via biliary secretion, plasma esterases, and other minor pathways. Drug interactions may occur during the elimination of drugs and their metabolites by the kidney as a result of competition at the level of active tubular secretion, interference with tubular transport, or during tubular reabsorption.
Urinary alkalinization and acidification by some drugs can affect the excretion of other drugs changing their elimination rate. For example, the use of probenecid, a potent inhibitor of the anionic pathway of renal tubular secretion, increases the serum
https://t.me/medicina_free
concentration of penicillins, which can be used for therapeutic purposes.
Pharmacodynamics
Pharmacodynamic interactions occur when the response of one drug is modified by the presence of another one without alterations in pharmacokinetics. These types of interactions may be predicted if the pharmacologic effects of a drug are known, and the patient response may be additive or antagonistic.
2,8
For example, there may be an interaction in which one drug, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, and another drug, a thiazide diuretic, each act by a different mechanism of action to lower blood pressure (BP), producing an exaggerated hypotensive effect.
CASE 3-1, QUESTION 4: What pharmacodynamic interactions are clinically
relevant to warfarin?
Pharmacodynamic interactions with warfarin are those that alter the physiology of hemostasis, particularly interactions that influence the synthesis or degradation of clotting factors or that increase the risk of bleeding through inhibition of platelet aggregation. In patients receiving warfarin, the addition of any drugs that increase or decrease clotting factor synthesis, enhance or reduce clotting factor catabolism, or that impair vitamin K production by normal flora will increase the risk of drug interactions.
Tables 3-3 and 3-4 provide examples of common mechanisms of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic drug interactions, respectively.
