Abstract
The gut microbiota is a complex ecosystem, home to hundreds of bacterial species and a vast repository of enzymes capable of metabolising a wide range of pharmaceuticals. Several drugs have been shown to affect negatively the composition and function of the gut microbial ecosystem. Janus Kinase inhibitors and Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulators are drugs recently approved for inflammatory bowel disease through an immediate release formulation and would potentially benefit from targeted colonic targeted delivery to enhance the local drug concentration at the diseased site. However, their impact on the human gut microbiota and susceptibility to bacterial metabolism remain unexplored. With the use of calorimetric, optical density measurements, and metagenomics next-generation sequencing, we show that JAK inhibitors have a minor impact on the composition of the human gut microbiota, while ozanimod exerts a significant antimicrobial effect, leading to a prevalence of the Enterococcus genus and a markedly different metabolic landscape when compared to the untreated microbiota. Moreover, ozanimod is the only drug subject to enzymatic degradation by the human gut microbiota sourced from six healthy donors.. Overall, given the crucial role of the gut microbiome in health, screening assays to investigate the interaction of drugs with the microbiome should be encouraged for the pharmaceutical industry as a standard in the drug discovery and development process.
