1 Introduction¶
The presented PBPK model of omeprazole has been developed to be used in a PBPK Drug-Drug-Interactions (DDI) network with omeprazole as a substrate of CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 and an inhibitor of CYP2C19.
Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) for the treatment of gastric acid related diseases. Omeprazole is administered as a racemic mixture of its two enantiomers, S-omeprazole and R-omeprazole.
The following ADME characteristics for (R-/S-) omeprazole were taken from omeprazole 20 mg capsule FDA SPC:
Absorption: Absorption of (R-/S-) omeprazole is rapid, with peak plasma levels occurring approximately 1-2 hours after dose. Absorption of omeprazole takes place in the small intestine and is usually completed within 3-6 hours. The systemic availability (bioavailability) from a single oral dose of omeprazole is approximately 40%. After repeated once-daily administration, the bioavailability increases to about 60%.
Distribution: The apparent volume of distribution in healthy subjects is approximately 0.3 l/kg body weight. Omeprazole is 97% plasma protein bound.
Metabolism: (R-/S-) Omeprazole is completely metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system (CYP). The major part of its metabolism is dependent on the polymorphically expressed CYP2C19, responsible for the formation of hydroxyomeprazole, the major metabolite in plasma. The remaining part is dependent on another specific isoform, CYP3A4, responsible for the formation of omeprazole sulphone. As a consequence of high affinity of omeprazole to CYP2C19, there is a potential for competitive inhibition and metabolic drug-drug interactions. No metabolite has been found to be pharmacologically active.
Elimination: Almost 80% of an oral dose of omeprazole is excreted as metabolites in the urine, the remainder in the faeces, primarily originating from bile secretion.
Linearity/non-linearity: The AUC of omeprazole increases with repeated administration following a non-linear dose-AUC relationship. This time- and dose- dependency is due to a decrease of first pass metabolism and systemic clearance probably caused by an inhibition of the CYP2C19 enzyme by omeprazole and/or its metabolites (e.g. the sulphone).
Stereoselectivity: Because both enantiomers are substrates and inhibitors of CYP2C19, the PK profile of each enantiomer is expected to differ when the racemic mixture is administered as compared to as a single agent because of mutual inhibition between the enantiomers (Äbelö 2000). The Ki for R-omeprazole is 2-5 higher compared to S-omeprazole (Liu 2005, Wu 2014).
2 Methods¶
2.1 Modeling Strategy¶
The general workflow for building an adult PBPK model has been described by Kuepfer et al. (Kuepfer 2016). Relevant information on the anthropometry (height, weight) was gathered from the respective clinical study, if reported. Information on physiological parameters (e.g. blood flows, organ volumes, hematocrit) in adults was gathered from the literature and has been incorporated in PK-Sim® as described previously (Willmann 2007). The applied activity and variability of plasma proteins and active processes that are integrated into PK-Sim® are described in the publicly available 'PK-Sim® Ontogeny Database Version 7.3' (PK-Sim Ontogeny Database Version 7.3).
The model includes distinct molecules for S- and R-omeprazole, the racemic omeprazole is represented by an observer that sums up the concentrations of S- and R-omeprazole. It was assumed that both isomers correspond to the half of the racemic omeprazole dose.
In general, the following step-wise workflow was followed:
1a. Define distribution and metabolism for S-omeprazole
1b. Mechanism based inactivation of CYP2C19 by omeprazole
-
Define S-omeprazole absorption based on p.o.
-
Capsule formulation
-
3a. Building racemic omeprazole
-
3b. Adjust CYP2C19 expression in gut
-
Define metabolism for R-omeprazole
-
Refine CYP3A4 metabolism on CYP2C19 PM data
-
Refine CYP2C19 metabolism on CYP2C19 EM data
The predefined “Standard European Male for DDI” individual was used (age = 30 y, weight = 73 kg, height = 176 cm, BMI = 23.57 kg/m2) until stated otherwise. CYP2C19 expression from the PK-Sim in-built RT-PCR database was added and adjusted as described in Section 2.3.3.
Selection of the distribution model for S-omeprazole and estimation of the lipophilicity parameter were performed with i.v. data (Wilder-Smith 2005, Hassan-Alin 2000).
The kinetics of CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 metabolization processes of S-omeprazole and R-omeprazole were estimated using the Parameter Identification module provided in PK-Sim® with i.v. and p.o. data including administration of S-, R- or racemic omeprazole, see Table 3, Table 4, and Table 5 for more details. The kinetic parameters were assumed not to be identical for the isomers. For simulations of CYP2C19 poor metabolizers, the CYP2C19 pathway was switched off.
For studies in Japanese subjects, a typical Japanese subject (age = 30 y, weight = 61.87 kg, height = 168.99 cm, BMI = 21.67 kg/m2) was created in PK-Sim from predefined database “Japanese (2015)” by adding CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 expression from PK-Sim RT PCR database, and adapting CYP2C19 expression in gut as described in Section 2.3.3.
Intestinal permeability of S-omeprazole was estimated by fitting the model to concentration-time data measured after p.o. administration of 20 or 40 mg given as solution (Hassan-Alin 2005).
Parameters Dissolution time (50% dissolved) and Dissolution shape describing the dissolution of capsule formulation were fitted to the data after single dose S-omeprazole 40 mg capsule (Wilder-Smith 2005).
Details about input data (physicochemical, in vitro and clinical) can be found in Section 2.2.
Details about the structural model and its parameters can be found in Section 2.3.
Population simulations of single and multiple i.v. or p.o. administration over a wide range of dose levels were conducted to visually compare the predicted concentration-time profile to the observed concentrations reported in the literature, in terms of mean and variability. The simulated populations matched the race (European or Asian) and the age-weight ranges reported in the respective clinical studies. A total of 1000 individuals were generated for studies in males only, while 2000 were generated for mixed gender populations. The concentration time profile was simulated for each virtual subject and summarized as geometric mean and 95% CI. The simulations were performed for extensive and poor CYP2C19 metabolizers.

2.3 Model Parameters and Assumptions¶
2.3.1 Absorption¶
The model parameter Specific intestinal permeability for S-omeprazole was optimized to best match clinical data (see Section 2.3.4). The same parameter value was assumed for R-omeprazole.
The dissolution of the capsule formulation was implemented via an empirical Weibull dissolution equation with parameters Dissolution time (50% dissolved) and Dissolution shape fitted to observed data. A Lag time = 30 min was used to account for the gastric emptying time.
2.3.2 Distribution¶
Physico-chemical parameter values of S- and R-omeprazole were set to the reported values (see Section 2.2.1) except for lipophilicity of S-omeprazole, which was estimated with i.v. data. It was assumed that the major binding partner in plasma is albumin.
After testing the available organ-plasma partition coefficient and cell permeability calculation methods available in PK-Sim, observed clinical data were best described by choosing the partition coefficient calculation by Rodgers and Rowland and cellular permeability calculation by PK-Sim Standard.
The same distribution model and parameter values were assumed for R-omeprazole, as no i.v. data are available for R-omeprazole.
2.3.3 Metabolism and Elimination¶
Two linear metabolic pathways for S- and R-omeprazole were implement in the model:
- CYP2C19
- CYP3A4
To describe multiple dose oral solution data, time-dependent autoinhibition (TDI) on CYP2C19 was added as irreversible inhibition / Mechanism-based inactivation as described by Wu 2014.
Competitive inhibition of CYP2C19 by both isomers was implemented in addition to TDI (Liu 2005).
Simulation results suggested that the expression of CYP2C19 isoenzymes in the GI tract as provided by the RT-PCR PK-Sim database is significantly preventing R-omeprazole from entering the circulation. This was less apparent for S-omeprazole. To note, while the absolute mean CYP3A4 abundance in liver (1.03e7 pmol per liver) and the intestinal/liver CYP3A4 ratio in PK-Sim default individual are similar to values used in other models, the relative intestinal CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 abundances differ (Table 6). The relative expression of CYP2C19 in gut was therefore reduced according to Olivares-Morales 2016 for the final model.
| Ratio | Olivares-Morales 20161 | Galetin and Houston 20062 | GastroPlus | RT-PCR PK-Sim | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CYP3A4/2C19 relative abundance liver | 9.8 | 11.1 | 8.1 | 5.68 | CYP2C19 abundance in liver 1.8-fold higher than other literature sources |
| CYP3A4/2C19 relative abundance intestine | 43.8 | 43.0 | - | 1.28 | CYP2C19 abundance in intestine 22-fold higher than other literature sources |
| CYP3A4/2D6 relative abundance liver | 17.1 | 19.4 | 14.2 | 10.80 | CYP2D6 abundance in liver 1.6-fold higher than other literature sources |
| CYP3A4/2D6 relative abundance intestine | 83.8 | 86.0 | - | 8.64 | CYP2D6 abundance in intestine 6-fold higher than other literature sources |
| CYP3A4 abundance Small intestine/liver | 0.66% | - | - | 0.44% | in range with literature |
| CYP2C19 abundance Small intestine/liver | 0.15% | - | - | 1.95% | 23-fold higher than in literature |
| CYP2D6 Small intestine/liver | 0.14% | - | - | 0.55% | 4-fold higher than in literature |

Additionally, renal plasma clearance was implemented (Wu 2014).
2.3.4 Observer for racemic omeprazole¶
Omeprazole concentrations in peripheral venous blood plasma at any specific time points were obtained by adding the simulated concentrations of two enantiomers together at the corresponding time points to generate the omeprazole PK profiles, according to the following formula:
fQ_art*(C_pls_art_Eso+C_pls_art_R_O) +fQ_bon*(C_pls_bon_Eso+C_pls_bon_R_O)+fQ_fat*(C_pls_fat_Eso + C_pls_fat_R_O)+fQ_mus*(C_pls_mus_Eso + C_pls_mus_R_O) +fQ_skn*(C_pls_skn_Eso + C_pls_skn_R_O)
where fQ_ are fraction of blood flow and C_pls_ concentrations in plasma compartment respectively in the arterial (art), bone (bon), fat (fat), muscle (mus) or skin (skn) tissues. Eso and R_O stand for S- and R-omeprazole respectively.
2.3.5 Automated Parameter Identification¶
Following parameter values were estimated for the base model:
| Parameter | Compound |
|---|---|
| Lipophilicity | S-Omeprazole |
| Specific intestinal permeability (transcellular) | S-Omeprazole |
| Dissolution time (Weibull) | S-Omeprazole |

4 Conclusion¶
The developed PBPK model of omeprazole describes the PK data of S-, R-, and racemat omeprazole in CYP2C19 extensive and poor metabolizers after administrations of single as well as multiple p.o. doses very well.
The assumption for the same distribution model and lipophilicity for R-/S-omeprazole is reasonable, as no i.v. data were available for R-omeprazole.
CYP2C19 expression in gut was reduced according to Olivares-Morales 2016 to better describe R-omeprazole. As CYP2C19 CL and expression are obviously inter-dependent, caution should be used when extrapolating such findings to other CYP2C19 substrates. The impact of the reduced expression of CYP2C19 in gut was therefore investigated for its impact on omeprazole levels.
Comparison of population simulation results with observed data show that the observations were generally within the simulated ranges, both after i.v. and p.o. dosing and for either CYP2C19 EM and PM.
