Key result
Vonoprazan significantly inhibited the metabolism of midazolam, bupropion, dextromethorphan, and tolbutamide in rats, indicating inhibitory effects on CYP3A4, CYP2B6, CYP2D6, and CYP2C9.
Why the study?
As a potential alternative to proton-pump inhibitors, determining the cytochrome P450-based drug-drug interactions of vonoprazan was vital for further clinical applications.

Vonoprazan inhibits CYP3A4, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, and CYP2B6 in rat models, indicating a potential for significant drug-drug interactions when coadministered with substrates of these enzymes.
Wang et al. (2020) studied Healthy rats (n=10). Vonoprazan vs. 0.5% CMC-Na was evaluated on Pharmacokinetic parameters of cytochrome P450 probe drugs (p=<0.05). Vonoprazan significantly inhibited the metabolism of midazolam, bupropion, dextromethorphan, and tolbutamide in rats, indicating inhibitory effects on CYP3A4, CYP2B6, CYP2D6, and CYP2C9.
