Background

Direct oral anticoagulants (direct oral anticoagulants) are susceptible to drug-drug interactions involving both transport and metabolism.

Methods

In this study, we examined potential interactions of select precipitants with apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban using a 3-step static mechanistic combinatorial modeling approach.

Results
144
reveals 47 drugs that could raise or lower anticoagulant blood levels
More results

In this approach, we (1) calculated apparent estimates of the fractions of efflux transport (f e ) of the 4 direct oral anticoagulants by the intestinal breast cancer resistance protein and intestinal permeability glycoprotein (P-gp), (2) validated our estimates, and (3) used them to simulate unstudied drug interactions with the anticoagulants.

More results

We estimated P-gp and breast cancer resistance protein transport to play a similar role in the interactions of apixaban and rivaroxaban (f e_P-gp = 0.21, f e_breast cancer resistance protein = 0.13).

Conclusion

Using our validated model, we predicted 144 drug-drug interaction signals with potential clinical significance.
