Targeting the gut microbiome to control drug pharmacomicrobiomics : the next frontier in oral drug delivery

INTRODUCTION: The trillions of microorganisms that comprise the gut microbiome form dynamic bidirectional interactions with orally administered drugs and host health. These relationships can alter all aspects of drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD); thus, there is a desire to control these interactions to maximize therapeutic efficacy. Attempts to modulate drug-gut microbiome interactions have spurred advancements within the field of 'pharmacomicrobiomics' and are poised to become the next frontier of oral drug delivery.

AREAS COVERED: This review details the bidirectional interactions that exist between oral drugs and the gut microbiome, with clinically relevant case examples outlining a clear motive for controlling pharmacomicrobiomic interactions. Specific focus is attributed to novel and advanced strategies that have demonstrated success in mediating drug-gut microbiome interactions.

EXPERT OPINION: Co-administration of gut-active supplements (e.g. pro- and pre-biotics), innovative drug delivery vehicles, and strategic polypharmacy serve as the most promising and clinically viable approaches for controlling pharmacomicrobiomic interactions. Targeting the gut microbiome through these strategies presents new opportunities for improving therapeutic efficacy by precisely mediating PK/PD, while mitigating metabolic disturbances caused by drug-induced gut dysbiosis. However, successfully translating preclinical potential into clinical outcomes relies on overcoming key challenges related to interindividual variability in microbiome composition and study design parameters.
