Based on previous observations of very short periods of linearity for antiprogestin metabolite formation and the presence of a common tertiary amine moiety in each compound as the principal site of their metabolism, we hypothesized that mifepristone, lilopristone and onapristone are oxidized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 to reactive nitroso species that complex the heme of the enzyme, thereby inactivating it. Upon preincubation with human liver microsomes in the presence (but not the absence) of NADPH, mifepristone inhibited midazolam 1′-hydroxylation, a marker of CYP3A4 catalytic activity, very potently (IC<sub>50</sub> ∼3.5 µmol/l) and extensively (by ∼87%). Lilopristone and onapristone also displayed NADPH and time-dependent inactivation of CYP3A4 with characteristics very similar to mifepristone. These data support antiprogestin-mediated inactivation of CYP3A4 and suggest the potential for drug-drug interactions and time-dependent nonlinearities in pharmacokinetics upon their long-term administration.
