Effective cyclosporine therapy is confounded by large interindividual differences in oral bioavailability and a narrow therapeutic window. Because cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A-mediated first-pass metabolism contributes to this unpredictable bioavailability, an in vivo oral CYP3A phenotyping probe could be a valuable tool in optimizing cyclosporine therapy. Based on similarities in the metabolic kinetics of cyclosporine and midazolam by the liver and intestinal mucosa, we evaluated whether midazolam oral clearance would predict cyclosporine oral clearance when the two drugs were administered to 20 medically stable kidney transplant recipients. Despite earlier findings in liver transplant recipients who displayed a strong correlation between the systemic clearances of midazolam and cyclosporine, there was a weak correlation between their oral clearances in the current group of subjects (r(s)=0.50, P=0.03). Differing extents of intestinal first-pass metabolic extraction between the two drugs, inhibition of midazolam metabolism by cyclosporine at the level of the intestine, and/or P-glycoprotein-mediated intestinal efflux of cyclosporine (but not midazolam) may account for this poor correlation. We conclude that although oral midazolam is unlikely to be clinically useful as a probe for cyclosporine disposition, its utility in the prediction of other orally administered CYP3A substrates cannot be out ruled.
