PG - 1-7 LID - 10.1124/dmd.119.089268 [doi] AB - Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is a known drug of abuse and schedule 1 narcotic under the Controlled Substances Act. Previous pharmacokinetic work on MDMA used classic linearization techniques to conclude irreversible mechanism-based inhibition of CYP2D6. The current work challenges this outcome by assessing the possibility of two alternative reversible kinetic inhibition mechanisms known as the quasi-irreversible (QI) model and equilibrium model (EM). In addition, progress curve experiments were used to investigate the residual metabolism of MDMA by liver microsomes and CYP2D6 baculosomes over incubation periods up to 30 minutes. These experiments revealed activity in a terminal linear phase at the fractional rates with respect to initial turnover of 0.0354 +/- 0.0089 in human liver microsomes and 0.0114 +/- 0.0025 in baculosomes. Numerical model fits to percentage of remaining activity (PRA) data were consistent with progress curve modeling results, wherein an irreversible inhibition pathway was found unnecessary for good fit scoring. Both QI and EM kinetic mechanisms fit the PRA data well, although in CYP2D6 baculosomes the inclusion of an irreversible inactivation pathway did not allow for convergence to a reasonable fit. The kinetic complexity accessible to numerical modeling has been used to determine that MDMA is not an irreversible inactivator of CYP2D6, and instead follows what can be generally referred to as slowly reversible inhibition. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The work herein describes the usage of computational models to delineate between irreversible and slowly reversible time-dependent inhibition. Such models are used in the paper to analyze MDMA and classify it as a reversible time-dependent inhibitor.
