Cytochrome P450 enzymes, efflux pumps and protein-binding mechanisms are not involved in the clearance of mepolizumab. Increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g. IL-6), via interaction with their cognate receptors on hepatocytes, have been shown to suppress the formation of CYP450 enzymes and drug transporters, however, elevation of systemic pro-inflammatory markers in severe refractory eosinophilic asthma is minimal and there is no evidence of IL-5 receptor alpha expression on hepatocytes. The potential for drug-drug interactions with mepolizumab is therefore considered low.
