Effect of Ticagrelor, a Cytochrome P450 3A4 Inhibitor, on the Pharmacokinetics of Tadalafil in Rats.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Tadalafil is a cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 substrate. Because there are few data on drug-drug interactions, it is advisable to take sufficient consideration when co-administering tadalafil with CYP3A4 inducers or inhibitors. This study was conducted to assess the effect of ticagrelor, a CYP3A4 inhibitor, on the pharmacokinetic properties of tadalafil after oral administration to rats. A total of 20 Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly divided into the non-pretreated group and ticagrelor-pretreated group, and tadalafil was orally administered to each group after pretreatment with or without ticagrelor. Blood samples were collected at predetermined time points after oral administration of tadalafil. As a result, systemic exposure of tadalafil in the ticagrelor-pretreated group was significantly increased compared to the non-pretreated group (1.61-fold), and the clearance of tadalafil in the ticagrelor-pretreated group was significantly reduced than the non-pretreated group (37%). The prediction of the drug profile through the one-compartment model could explain the differences of pharmacokinetic properties of tadalafil in the non-pretreated and ticagrelor-pretreated groups. This study suggests that ticagrelor reduces a CYP3A-mediated tadalafil metabolism and that tadalafil and a combination regimen with tadalafil and ticagrelor requires dose control and specific pharmacotherapy.
