Drug-induced cholestasis assay in primary hepatocytes
Drug-induced cholestasis (DIC) is a major cause of clinical failure of drug candidates. Numerous patients worldwide are affected when exposed to marketed drugs exhibiting a DIC signature. Prospective identification of DIC during early compound development remains challenging. Here we describe the op...

description | Drug-induced cholestasis (DIC) is a major cause of clinical failure of drug candidates. Numerous patients worldwide are affected when exposed to marketed drugs exhibiting a DIC signature. Prospective identification of DIC during early compound development remains challenging. Here we describe the optimized in vitro • Exposure of primary human hepatocyte cultures to test compounds in the absence and presence of a physiologically relevant mixture of endogenous bile salts. • Rapid and quantitative assessment of the influence of concomitant bile salt exposure on hepatocyte functionality and integrity after 24 h or 48 h of incubation. • Translation of the in vitro result, expressed as a DIC index (DICI) value, into an in vivo safety margin. Using our historical control data, a new (data driven) DICI cut-off value of 0.78 was established for discerning cholestatic and non-cholestatic compounds. Our DIC assay protocol was further improved by now relying on the principle of the no observable adverse effect level (NOAEL) for determining the highest test compound concentration corresponding to a DICI ≥ 0.78. Predicted safety margin values were subsequently calculated for compounds displaying hepatotoxic and/or cholestatic effects in patients, thus enabling evaluation of the performance of our DIC assay. Of note, this assay can be extended to explore the role of drug metabolites in precipitating DIC. |
