Xenobiotics can interact with cytochromes P450 (CYPs), resulting in drug-drug interactions, but CYPs can also contribute to drug-disease interactions, especially in the case of inflammation, which downregulates CYP activities through pretranscriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), a key proinflammatory cytokine, is mainly responsible for this effect. The aim of our study was to develop a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model to foresee the impact of elevated IL-6 levels in combination with drug interactions with esomeprazole on CYP3A and CYP2C19. Data from a cohort of elective hip surgery patients whose CYP3A and CYP2C19 activities were measured before and after surgery were used to validate the accurate prediction of the developed models. Successive steps were to fit models for IL-6, esomeprazole, and omeprazole and its metabolite from the literature and to validate them. The models for midazolam and its metabolite were obtained from the literature. When appropriate, a correction factor was applied to convert drug concentrations from whole blood to plasma. Mean ratios between simulated and observed areas under the curve for omeprazole/5-hydroxy omeprazole, esomeprazole, and IL-6 were 1.53, 1.06, and 0.69, respectively, indicating an accurate prediction of the developed models. The impact of IL-6 and esomeprazole on the exposure to CYP3A and CYP2C19 probe substrates and respective metabolites were correctly predicted. Indeed, the ratio between predicted and observed mean concentrations were <2 for all observations (ranging from 0.51 to 1.7). The impact of IL-6 and esomeprazole on CYP3A and CYP2C19 activities after a hip surgery were correctly predicted with the developed PBPK models.

OBJECTIVE
Case reports showing that proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), omeprazole and esomeprazole, can cause hypomagnesaemia have been accumulating since 2006. In this study, the reports submitted to the Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS) of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) were evaluated to assess omeprazole and esomeprazole in terms of susceptibility to hypomagnesaemia.
METHODS
After a revision of arbitrary drug names and the deletion of duplicated submissions, the reports involving omeprazole and esomeprazole were analyzed. Standardized official pharmacovigilance tools were used for the quantitative detection of a signal, i.e., an association between a drug and an adverse drug event, including the proportional reporting ratio, the reporting odds ratio, the information component given by a Bayesian confidence propagation neural network, and the empirical Bayes geometric mean.
RESULTS
A total of 22,017,956 co-occurrences were found in 1,644,220 reports from 2004 to 2009, where a co-occurrence was a pair of a drug and an adverse drug event. In total, 818 and 743 adverse drug events were listed as omeprazole- and esomeprazole-associated, with hypomagnesaemia ranking 85th and 135th, respectively. Although both PPIs were associated with hypomagnesaemia, the statistical metrics suggested that the association was more noteworthy for omeprazole.
CONCLUSION
The data obtained in this study do not provide sufficient evidence to recommend systematic monitoring of magnesium levels in plasma, but chronic exposure to a PPI can lead to severe hypomagnesaemia.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Quadruple therapy with vonoprazan 20 mg daily as a first-line treatment for Helicobacter pylori infection: A single-center, open-label, noninferiority, randomized controlled trial.
BACKGROUND
Although vonoprazan has been proven to be a highly potent drug for Helicobacter pylori eradication, there have been no randomized trials comparing the effectiveness of regimens containing vonoprazan 20 mg daily with alternative standard strategies. We aimed to assess the efficacy, tolerance, and cost-effectiveness of quadruple therapy with vonoprazan 20 mg daily as a first-line therapy for H. pylori eradication.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We conducted a single-center, open-label, noninferiority, randomized controlled study in Zhejiang, China. Treatment-naive H. pylori-positive participants (n = 234) were randomly assigned to three groups in a 1:1:1 ratio: vonoprazan 20 mg daily with amoxicillin 1000 mg, furazolidone 100 mg and colloidal bismuth 200 mg each given twice a day for 10 days (V10) or 14 days (V14), or esomeprazole 20 mg with amoxicillin 1000 mg, furazolidone 100 mg and colloidal bismuth 200 mg each given twice a day for 14 days (E14). The primary endpoint was the eradication rates in each group. The secondary endpoints were the incidence of adverse events (AEs) and compliance.
RESULTS
The eradication rates in the V10, V14 and E14 groups were 96.2% (89.2-99.2%), 94.9% (87.4-98.6%), and 93.6% (85.7-97.9%) in the intention-to-treat analysis, and 98.6% (92.7-100.0%), 97.4% (90.8-99.7%), and 94.8% (87.2-98.6%) in the per-protocol analysis, respectively. Quadruple therapy with vonoprazan 20 mg daily was noninferior to the esomeprazole-based regimen (Farrington and Manning test: margin 10%, significance level 2.5%). The adverse event rates were 12.8% versus 3.8% versus 6.4% in the V10, V14, and E14 groups, respectively. All regimens were well tolerated without significant differences (p = 0.096). The cost-effectiveness ratio was 1.32, 1.88, and 3.06 for the V10, V14, and E14 groups in the intention-to-treat analysis, respectively. (NCT04907747).
CONCLUSIONS
Vonoprazan (20 mg daily) was as effective as esomeprazole (20 mg twice a day) in quadruple therapies for the eradication of H. pylori, was more economical, and was well tolerated. In addition, the 10-day regimen of vonoprazan (20 mg daily) was comparable to the 14-day regimen.

(Review)
Review
Control of gastric acid secretion by antisecretory agents has been the cornerstone of therapy in the successful management of all acid-related disorders, including gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and duodenal and gastric ulcer. Treatment efficacy has been strongly correlated with degree and duration of acid suppression within the 24-h period and with total duration of therapy. All proton pump inhibitors are highly effective for the healing of ulcers and erosive oesophagitis. All have closely similar mechanisms of action, yet important pharmacological differences exist, which can significantly impact certain aspects of their clinical efficacy. Rabeprazole's rapid activation over a wide pH range may be the explanation for its early onset of effective acid inhibition compared with other proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole, lansoprazole and pantoprazole. Like rabeprazole, esomeprazole is also a potent inhibitor of gastric acid at steady state, although it is thought that rabeprazole may provide enhanced first-day acid suppression compared with esomeprazole. First-day antisecretory efficacy should produce faster symptom relief, a hypothesis supported by clinical data. Moreover, drugs with pharmacological profiles that include both rapid onset and potent antisecretory effects should help control healthcare costs by reducing the need for otherwise commonly used twice-daily proton pump inhibitor administration.

Controlled-release effervescent floating bilayer tablets reduce dosage frequency and improve patient compliance with enhanced therapeutic outcomes. Generally, two different tablets of clarithromycin and esomeprazole, respectively, are given for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection and it might be worth incorporating both in a single tablet. In the current study, controlled-release floating bilayer tablets of clarithromycin and esomeprazole (F1−F4) were developed with different rates of polymeric materials by a direct compression method. During the formulation, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was performed for possible interactions between drugs and excipients. No interactions between drugs and excipients were noted. Moreover, the bilayer tablets’ thickness, diameter, friability, hardness, weight variation, dissolution, and percent purity were found within the acceptable limits. The floating lag time and total floating time of all formulations were found to be < 25 s and 24 h, respectively. The release of both the clarithromycin and esomeprazole started at the same time from the controlled-release floating bilayer tablets by anomalous non-Fickian diffusion, and the polymeric materials extended the drug release rate up to 24 h. In the case of F1, the results approached ideal zero-order kinetics. The dissolution profiles of the tested and reference tablet formulations were compared, but no significant differences were observed. It can be concluded that such controlled-release effervescent floating bilayer tablets can be efficiently used in clinical practice to reduce dosage frequency and increase patient compliance with continuous drug release for 24 h, which ultimately might enhance therapeutic efficacy.

Randomized Controlled Trial
BACKGROUND
Given the general unavailability, common adverse effects, and complicated administration of tetracycline, the clinical application of classic bismuth quadruple therapy (BQT) is greatly limited. Whether minocycline can replace tetracycline for Helicobacter pylori ( H . pylori ) eradication is unknown. We aimed to compare the eradication rate, safety, and compliance between minocycline- and tetracycline-containing BQT as first-line regimens.
METHODS
This randomized controlled trial was conducted on 434 naïve patients with H . pylori infection. The participants were randomly assigned to 14-day minocycline-containing BQT group (bismuth potassium citrate 110 mg q.i.d., esomeprazole 20 mg b.i.d., metronidazole 400 mg q.i.d., and minocycline 100 mg b.i.d.) and tetracycline-containing BQT group (bismuth potassium citrate/esomeprazole/metronidazole with doses same as above and tetracycline 500 mg q.i.d.). Safety and compliance were assessed within 3 days after eradication. Urea breath test was performed at 4-8 weeks after eradication to evaluate outcome. We used a noninferiority test to compare the eradication rates of the two groups. The intergroup differences were evaluated using Pearson chi-squared or Fisher's exact test for categorical variables and Student's t -test for continuous variables.
RESULTS
As for the eradication rates of minocycline- and tetracycline-containing BQT, the results of both intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analyses showed that the difference rate of lower limit of 95% confidence interval (CI) was >-10.0% (ITT analysis: 181/217 [83.4%] vs . 180/217 [82.9%], with a rate difference of 0.5% [-6.9% to 7.9%]; PP analysis: 177/193 [91.7%] vs . 176/191 [92.1%], with a rate difference of -0.4% [-5.6% to 6.4%]). Except for dizziness more common (35/215 [16.3%] vs . 13/214 [6.1%], P = 0.001) in minocycline-containing therapy groups, the incidences of adverse events (75/215 [34.9%] vs . 88/214 [41.1%]) and compliance (195/215 [90.7%] vs . 192/214 [89.7%]) were similar between the two groups.
CONCLUSION
The eradication efficacy of minocycline-containing BQT was noninferior to tetracycline-containing BQT as first-line regimen for H . pylori eradication with similar safety and compliance.

Review
Low dose aspirin therapy plays a fundamental role in both the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events. Although the evidence using low dose aspirin for secondary prevention is well-established, the decision to use aspirin for primary prevention is based on an evaluation of the patient's risk of cardiovascular events compared to their risk of adverse events, such as bleeding. In addition to the risk of bleeding associated with long term aspirin administration, upper gastrointestinal side effects, such as dyspepsia often lead to discontinuation of therapy, which places patients at an increased risk for cardiovascular events. One option to mitigate adverse events and increase adherence is the addition of esomeprazole to the medication regimen. This review article provides an evaluation of the literature on the concomitant use of aspirin and esomeprazole available through February 2013. The efficacy, safety, tolerability, cost effectiveness, and patient quality of life of this regimen is discussed. A summary of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions between aspirin and esomeprazole, as well as other commonly used cardiovascular medications are also reviewed. The addition of esomeprazole to low dose aspirin therapy in patients at high risk of developing gastric ulcers for the prevention of cardiovascular disease, significantly reduced their risk of ulcer development. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies suggested that esomeprazole did not affect the pharmacokinetic parameters or the antiplatelet effects of aspirin. Therefore, for those patients who are at a high risk of developing a gastrointestinal ulcer, the benefit of adding esomeprazole likely outweighs the risks of longer term proton pump inhibitor use, and the combination can be recommended. Administering the two agents separately may also be more economical. On the other hand, for those patients at lower risk of developing a gastrointestinal ulcer, both the additional risk and cost make the inclusion of a proton pump inhibitor unwarranted.

Efficacy And Cost-Effectiveness, Comparison Of 7-Days Vonoprazan Versus 14-Days Esomeprazole Based Triple Therapies For Treating Helicobacter Pylori Infection In Pakistani Population: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
BACKGROUND
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a gram-negative bacterium which usually resides in the mucoid lining of the stomach and may cause different gastric pathologies e.g., Gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, adenocarcinoma of the gastric system and mucoid associated lymphoma (MALT). The Objective was to compare the effect of 7-days Vonoprazan based triple therapy and 14-days Esomeprazole based triple therapy on eradication rate, compliance and cost effectiveness in Helicobacter pylori infected patients.
METHODS
This clinical trial was performed in the Department of Pharmacology Army Medical College, National University of Medical Sciences (NUMS) in collaboration with the Gastroenterology Department, Pak Emirates Military Hospital (PEMH) Rawalpindi from December 2022 to March 2023. A total of one hundred and twenty-two patients with dyspepsia symptoms and yielding lab results positive for Helicobacter pylori by stool antigen test were enrolled in the study. They were randomly allocated into two groups. The Esomeprazole group received 14 days of triple therapy orally with Esomeprazole 20 mg twice a day; Amoxicillin 1000 mg twice a day; and Levofloxacin 500 mg one time a day. The comparative Vonoprazan group was given 7-days triple therapy orally with Vonoprazan 20 mg twice a day; Amoxicillin 1000 mg twice a day; and Levofloxacin 500 mg one time a day. Eradication success was evaluated by stool antigen test four weeks later, as counted from the start of treatment. compliance and cost-effectiveness of both therapies were also assessed.
RESULTS
The eradication rate was (95.1%) in the Vonoprazan group with 58 out of 61 patients negative for H. pylori and (93.1%) in Esomeprazole group with 54 patients out of 58 yielding a negative result demonstrating p-value of 0.64. Compliance was 95.0% in the Esomeprazole group with p-value of 0.07. Cost effective ratio for Vonoprazan triple therapy was lower (731.8PKR) than the Esomeprazole group.
CONCLUSION
One two-week Vonoprazan regimen demonstrated improved eradication rate, good compliance, and better tolerability in patients with less cost and a half duration of treatment in comparison with two weeks Esomeprazole regimen, attesting that one week Vonoprazan therapy is more cost efficacious in producing better results.

Journal of the American College of... Apr 2012The aim of this study was to assess the effects of different proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on the steady-state pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of clopidogrel. (Comparative Study)
Comparative Study Randomized Controlled Trial
A randomized, 2-period, crossover design study to assess the effects of dexlansoprazole, lansoprazole, esomeprazole, and omeprazole on the steady-state pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of clopidogrel in healthy volunteers.
OBJECTIVES
The aim of this study was to assess the effects of different proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on the steady-state pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of clopidogrel.
BACKGROUND
Metabolism of clopidogrel requires cytochrome P450s (CYPs), including CYP2C19. However, PPIs may inhibit CYP2C19, potentially reducing the effectiveness of clopidogrel.
METHODS
A randomized, open-label, 2-period, crossover study of healthy subjects (n = 160, age 18 to 55 years, homozygous for CYP2C19 extensive metabolizer genotype, confined, standardized diet) was conducted. Clopidogrel 75 mg with or without a PPI (dexlansoprazole 60 mg, lansoprazole 30 mg, esomeprazole 40 mg, or, as a positive control to maximize potential interaction and demonstrate assay sensitivity, omeprazole 80 mg) was given daily for 9 days. Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics were assessed on days 9 and 10. Pharmacodynamic end-points were vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein P2Y(12) platelet reactivity index, maximal platelet aggregation to 5 and 20 μmol/l adenosine diphosphate, and VerifyNow P2Y12 platelet response units.
RESULTS
Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic responses with omeprazole demonstrated assay sensitivity. The area under the curve for clopidogrel active metabolite decreased significantly with esomeprazole but not with dexlansoprazole or lansoprazole. Similarly, esomeprazole but not dexlansoprazole or lansoprazole significantly reduced the effect of clopidogrel on vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein platelet reactivity index. All PPIs decreased the peak plasma concentration of clopidogrel active metabolite (omeprazole > esomeprazole > lansoprazole > dexlansoprazole) and showed a corresponding order of potency for effects on maximal platelet aggregation and platelet response units.
CONCLUSIONS
Generation of clopidogrel active metabolite and inhibition of platelet function were reduced less by the coadministration of dexlansoprazole or lansoprazole with clopidogrel than by the coadministration of esomeprazole or omeprazole. These results suggest that the potential of PPIs to attenuate the efficacy of clopidogrel could be minimized by the use of dexlansoprazole or lansoprazole rather than esomeprazole or omeprazole.

The molecular structure of esomeprazole magnesium derivative in the solid-state is reported for the first time, along with a simplified crystallization pathway. The structure was determined using the single crystal X-ray diffraction technique to reveal the bonding relationships between esomeprazole heteroatoms and magnesium. The esomeprazole crystallization process was carried out in 1-butanol and water was utilized as anti-solvent. The product proved to be esomeprazole magnesium tetrahydrate with two 1-butanol molecules that crystallized in P6₃ space group, in a hexagonal unit cell. Complete characterization of a sample after drying was conducted by the use of powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), ¹H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and dynamic vapor sorption (DVS). Investigation by ¹H-NMR and TGA has shown that the solvent content in the dried sample consists of two water molecules and 0.3 butanol molecules per esomeprazole magnesium molecule. This is different from the single crystal X-ray diffraction results and can be attributed to the loss of some water and 1-butanol molecules stabilized by intermolecular interactions. The title compound, after drying, is a true solvate in terms of water; conversely, 1-butanol fills the voids of the crystal lattice in non-stoichiometric amounts.
