MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of quinine, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In ten healthy volunteers, administration of a single 600 mg oral dose of quinine sulfate in combination with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor troleandomycin (500 mg orally every 8 hours for 48 hours) significantly increased the mean quinine peak plasma concentration (Cmax), systemic exposure (AUC) and terminal elimination half-life by 26%, 90% and 63%, respectively, and decreased the mean oral clearance (Cl/F) by 45% compared to administration of quinine alone. Troleandomycin also reduced the average Cmax, AUC and apparent formation clearance of the main metabolite, 3-hydroxyquinine, by 75%, 58% and 81%, respectively. Likewise, in a study of nine healthy volunteers, administration of a single 500 mg oral dose of quinine hydrochloride in combination with another potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole (100 mg twice daily for 3 days) resulted in a 45% increase in mean quinine AUC and a 31% decrease in mean oral clearance compared to administration of quinine alone. Clinically, high plasma levels of quinine may increase the risk of QT interval prolongation, which has been associated with ventricular arrhythmias including torsade de pointes and sudden death. Fatal torsade de pointes arrhythmia was reported in an elderly patient who received quinine in combination with erythromycin, a moderately potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, and dopamine. However, a causal relationship was not established in this case. The risk of other quinine toxicities such as cinchonism may also be increased.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if quinine is used in combination with potent and moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Patients should be monitored closely for adverse reactions associated with quinine such as hematologic toxicities and cardiac arrhythmias including torsade de pointes and atrial fibrillation. Patients should be advised to contact their physician if they experience increased side effects such as headache, flushing, sweating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, tinnitus, dizziness, vertigo, hearing impairment, blurred vision, vision impairment, and irregular heart rhythm.

duvelisib food

Applies to: duvelisib

MONITOR: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of orally administered drugs that are substrates of the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Because grapefruit juice inhibits primarily intestinal rather than hepatic CYP450 3A4, the magnitude of interaction is greatest for those drugs that undergo significant presystemic metabolism by CYP450 3A4 (i.e., drugs with low oral bioavailability). In general, the effect of grapefruit juice is concentration-, dose- and preparation-dependent, and can vary widely among brands. Certain preparations of grapefruit juice (e.g., high dose, double strength) have sometimes demonstrated potent inhibition of CYP450 3A4, while other preparations (e.g., low dose, single strength) have typically demonstrated moderate inhibition. Pharmacokinetic interactions involving grapefruit juice are also subject to a high degree of interpatient variability, thus the extent to which a given patient may be affected is difficult to predict.

MANAGEMENT: Patients who regularly consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice should be monitored for adverse effects and altered plasma concentrations of drugs that undergo significant presystemic metabolism by CYP450 3A4. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice should be avoided if an interaction is suspected. Orange juice is not expected to interact with these drugs.

Applies to: quinine

Coadministration with grapefruit juice does not appear to affect the pharmacokinetics of quinine in a clinically relevant manner. Although grapefruit juice is an inhibitor of CYP450 3A4 and quinine is metabolized by this pathway to its major metabolite, 3-hydroxyquinine, a study of ten healthy volunteers found no significant differences in quinine peak plasma concentration (Cmax), time to reach Cmax (Tmax), terminal elimination half-life, systemic exposure (AUC), or apparent oral clearance (Cl/F) when a single 600 mg oral dose of quinine sulfate was administered in combination with 200 mL of orange juice (control), half-strength grapefruit juice, and full-strength grapefruit juice twice daily for 6 days each, separated by a 2-week washout period. Relative to the control period, the apparent renal clearance of quinine was markedly increased by 81% during treatment with half-strength grapefruit juice. However, since renal clearance accounts for approximately 6% of the total clearance of quinine, this change would likely have minimal clinical impact. The lack of a significant interaction is probably due to the fact that grapefruit juice primarily inhibits intestinal rather than hepatic CYP450 3A4, and quinine is not known to undergo significant presystemic metabolism as evidenced by its relatively high oral bioavailability (76% to 88%). Nevertheless, excessive consumption of grapefruit juice and tonic water (which contains quinine) was suspected as the cause of torsade de pointes arrhythmia in a patient with a history of asymptomatic long QT syndrome. Treatment with magnesium sulfate and metoprolol had no effect, but the arrhythmia resolved spontaneously 48 hours after discontinuation of the drinks. Based on current data, moderate grapefruit juice consumption is probably safe for the majority of patients taking quinine.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
