Given the prominent role of cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) in the metabolism of drugs, it is critical to determine whether new chemical entities will be affected by the inhibition of this enzyme system and result in clinically relevant drug interactions. Ketoconazole interaction studies are frequently performed to determine a given compound's sensitivity to CYP3A metabolism. The present study evaluated whether probing a sensitive substrate (midazolam) with a potent inhibitor (ketoconazole) at earlier time points (days 1 or 2) might be used to reliably gauge the magnitude of a meaningful interaction. The geometric mean ratios (ketoconazole+midazolamday 5/ketoconazole+midazolamday 1 and ketoconazole+midazolamday 5/ketoconazole+midazolamday 2) for midazolam AUC0-infinity were 1.36 and 1.06 with corresponding 90% confidence intervals of (1.17, 1.57) and (0.83, 1.23), respectively. These findings suggest that short-term drug-drug interaction studies can predict the magnitude of change in AUC as reliably as studies using longer duration treatments.

D008874 Midazolam A short-acting hypnotic-sedative drug with anxiolytic and amnestic properties. It is used in dentistry, cardiac surgery, endoscopic procedures, as preanesthetic medication, and as an adjunct to local anesthesia. The short duration and cardiorespiratory stability makes it useful in poor-risk, elderly, and cardiac patients. It is water-soluble at pH less than 4 and lipid-soluble at physiological pH.
