1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundBPI-460372 is an orally available, covalent, irreversible small molecule inhibitor of the transcriptional enhanced associate domain (TEAD) 1/3/4, which is currently in clinical development for the treatment of cancers with Hippo pathway alterations.

objectiveThis study aimed to determine the cytochrome P450 (CYP) phenotyping, metabolic stability, and in vitro and in vivo metabolic profile of BPI-460372.

methodsThe CYP phenotyping and metabolic stability were assessed by measuring the depletion of substrate. The metabolic profile in hepatocytes and rat and dog plasma was analyzed using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography combined with Orbitrap tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Orbitrap-HRMS).

resultsBPI-460372 was mainly metabolized by CYP2D6, CYP3A4, and CYP1A2. BPI-460372 exhibited low clearance in human, monkey, and rat hepatocytes, while moderate clearance in dog and mouse hepatocytes. A total of 10 metabolites were identified in five species of hepatocytes, and no human-unique metabolite was detected. In rat plasma and dog plasma, the primary metabolites were M407 (BPI-460430) and M423 (BPI-460456), respectively. The two metabolites were quantitatively determined in rat and dog plasma in pharmacokinetic and toxicological studies. The major metabolic site was 2-fluoro-acrylamide, and major metabolic pathways in hepatocytes, and rat and dog plasma involved oxidative defluorination, hydration, glutathione (GSH) conjugation, hydrolysis, cysteine conjugation, and N-acetyl cysteine conjugation. β-lyase pathway contributed to the metabolism of BPI-460372 in rats to a certain degree.

conclusionThis study elucidated the metabolism of BPI-460372 and provided a basis for pharmacokinetic and toxicological species selection, human pharmacokinetics prediction, and assessment of clinical co-administration limitations and possible metabolic pathways in humans.
