Abstract
Bedaquiline (TMC-207) is a key anti-tubercular drug to fight against multidrug resistance tuberculosis. Little information is available till date on the impact of any disease state toward its pharmacokinetic behavior. The present research work aimed to investigate the effect of renal impairment and diabetes mellitus on the oral pharmacokinetics of bedaquiline in the rat model. Renal impairment and diabetes mellitus were induced in the Wistar rat model separately using cisplatin and streptozotocin, respectively, and thereafter, an oral pharmacokinetic study of bedaquiline was carried out in the individual disease models as well as in the normal rat model. Pharmacokinetic parameters of bedaquiline were not altered markedly in cisplatin-induced renal-impaired rats compared to normal rats except an area under the curve (AUC) for plasma concentration of bedaquiline in the experimental time frame (AUC0-t ) reduced to 3477 ± 228 from 4984 ± 1174 ng h/mL, respectively. Maximum plasma concentrations of bedaquiline (259 ± 77 ng/mL), AUC0-t (3112 ± 1046 ng h/mL), and AUC0-∞ (3673 ± 1493 ng h/mL) were significantly reduced along with an increase in the clearance of bedaquiline (3.1 ± 1.1 L/h/kg) in the case of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats compared to respective pharmacokinetic parameters of bedaquiline (482 ± 170 ng/mL, 4984 ± 1174 ng h/mL, and 6137 ± 1542 ng h/mL) in the normal rats. Preclinical findings suggest that dose adjustment of bedaquiline is required in the diabetes mellitus condition to prevent the therapeutic failure of bedaquiline treatment, but clinical exploration is needed to establish the fact. It is the first report for the consequence of renal impairment and diabetes mellitus on the pharmacokinetics of bedaquiline in the preclinical model.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of a drug is dependent upon the coordinate work of influx transporters, enzymes and efflux transporters (i.e., transporter-enzyme interplay). The transporter-enzyme interplay may occur in liver, kidney and intestine. The influx transporters involving drug transport are organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs), peptide transporters (PepTs), organic anion transporters (OATs), monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) and organic cation transporters (OCTs). The efflux transporters are P-glycoprotein (P-gp), multidrug/toxin extrusions (MATEs), multidrug resistance-associated proteins (MRPs) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). The enzymes related to drug metabolism are mainly cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP450s) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs). Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that diabetes alters the expression and functions of CYP450s and transporters in a different manner, disordering the transporter-enzyme interplay, in turn affecting the pharmacokinetics of some drugs. We aimed to focus on (1) the imbalance of transporter-CYP450 interplay in the liver, intestine and kidney due to altered expressions of influx transporters (OATPs, OCTs, OATs, PepTs and MCT6), efflux transporters (P-gp, BCRP and MRP2) and CYP450s (CYP3As, CYP1A2, CYP2E1 and CYP2Cs) under diabetic status; (2) the net contributions of these alterations in the expression and functions of transporters and CYP450s to drug disposition, therapeutic efficacy and drug toxicity; (3) application of a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model in transporter-enzyme interplay.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to report the effect of diabetes mellitus on the pharmacokinetics of verapamil in a route-dependent manner. Diabetes in rats was induced by streptozotocin. Plasma concentrations of verapamil and its metabolite, norverapamil, were measured after oral (10 mg/kg) or intravenous (1 mg/kg) administration. The concentrations of verapamil in portal plasma after oral administration were also determined. Norverapamil formation was used for assessing CYP3A activity in hepatic and intestinal microsomes of diabetic rats. The protein levels of CYP3A1 and CYP3A2 in liver and intestine were measured by Western blot. It was found that diabetes significantly increased the plasma concentration of verapamil and norverapamil after oral administration, which resulted in a 74% increase in the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of verapamil, but the ratio of AUC((norverapamil))/AUC((verapamil)) was significantly decreased by 38%. In contrast, diabetes significantly decreased the AUC of verapamil by 22% after intravenous administration. Diabetes also resulted in increased AUC of verapamil in portal vein by 3.8-fold compared with that in control rats. The absolute bioavailability of verapamil was higher than that of control rats. An in vitro study showed that increased CYP3A activity in the hepatic microsome and decreased CYP3A activity in the intestinal microsome were accompanied by an increase and decrease in the protein expression of CYP3A1/2 in liver and intestine of diabetic rats, respectively. In conclusion, diabetes mellitus revealed a tissue-specific effect on CYP3A activity and expression (induced in liver and inhibited in intestine), resulting in opposite pharmacokinetic behaviors of verapamil after oral and intravenous administration to diabetic rats.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
In rats with diabetes mellitus induced by alloxan (DMIA) or streptozocin (DMIS), changes in the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isozymes in the liver, lung, kidney, intestine, brain, and testis have been reported based on Western blot analysis, Northern blot analysis, and various enzyme activities. Changes in phase II enzyme activities have been reported also. Hence, in this review, changes in the pharmacokinetics of drugs that were mainly conjugated and metabolized via CYPs or phase II isozymes in rats with DMIA or DMIS, as reported in various literature, have been explained. The changes in the pharmacokinetics of drugs that were mainly conjugated and mainly metabolized in the kidney, and that were excreted mainly via the kidney or bile in DMIA or DMIS rats were reviewed also. For drugs mainly metabolized via hepatic CYP isozymes, the changes in the total area under the plasma concentration–time curve from time zero to time infinity (AUC) of metabolites, AUCmetabolite/AUCparent drug ratios, or the time-averaged nonrenal and total body clearances (CLNR and CL, respectively) of parent drugs as reported in the literature have been compared.
Key findings
After intravenous administration of drugs that were mainly metabolized via hepatic CYP isozymes, their hepatic clearances were found to be dependent on the in-vitro hepatic intrinsic clearance (CLint) for the disappearance of the parent drug (or in the formation of the metabolite), the free fractions of the drugs in the plasma, or the hepatic blood flow rate depending on their hepatic extraction ratios. The changes in the pharmacokinetics of drugs that were mainly conjugated and mainly metabolized via the kidney in DMIA or DMIS rats were dependent on the drugs. However, the biliary or renal CL values of drugs that were mainly excreted via the kidney or bile in DMIA or DMIS rats were faster.
Summary
Pharmacokinetic studies of drugs in patients with type I diabetes mellitus were scarce. Moreover, similar and different results for drug pharmacokinetics were obtained between diabetic rats and patients with type I diabetes mellitus. Thus, present experimental rat data should be extrapolated carefully in humans.

Abstract
The maximum tolerated dose and pharmacokinetics of a drug is usually determined in healthy human volunteers and animals. This data is then used to define the dosing recommendation for the diseased patient population. However, in the case of some hydrophobic drugs, the dose which is deemed nontoxic becomes ineffective and/or toxic when administered to the diseased patient. This observation might be explained by several lines of evidence which indicate that binding of drugs such as amphotericin B (AmpB) and cyclosporine (CSA) to plasma low-density lipoprotein- (LDL) cholesterol is involved in the development of kidney toxicity. Our preliminary studies have suggested that this phenomena might be due to increase lipid transfer protein (LTP 1) activity which promotes the transfer of AmpB from high-density lipoproteins to LDL. In addition, since LTP 1 function is regulated by the lipid content of plasma lipoproteins, we suggest that changes in lipoprotein composition that occur in dyslipidemia regulate the distribution of these and other hydrophobic drugs (i.e., annamycin and nystatin). The impact of these studies on hydrophobic drug therapy could have broad implications on how we evaluate and determine dosing of hydrophobic drugs in dyslipidemic patients. By understanding the mechanism(s) responsible for the distribution of hydrophobic compounds in the bloodstream, we are trying to define the effect of dyslipidemias on the plasma clearance and therapeutic index of hydrophobic compounds.

Abstract
The immunosuppressive effects of 2.5 (n = 6) and 5 mg kg-1 day-1 (n = 7) of cyclosporine (CSA) given intravenously for 9 days to the immunized, hyperlipidemic Zucker rat model were compared with drug-free animals (n = 6) and lean litter-mates given 0 (n = 6), 5 (n = 6), and 10 mg kg-1 day-1 (n = 8) of CSA. Thus, based on body weights, both obese rats and lean litter-mates received total doses of 0, 1, and 2 mg of CSA. No significant differences in percent change in baseline body weight were found; in contrast, spleen weights were markedly greater in treated animals compared with controls. Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, and lipoprotein levels of obese rats were significantly greater than values found in lean litter-mates. CSA concentrations in whole blood, serum, and the lipoprotein fractions obtained 4 h after the final dose were greater in obese rats compared with lean litter-mates. Immunosuppressive activity, as assessed by ex vivo T-lymphocyte proliferation assay, was equivocal between all rats given CSA, independent of dose and obesity, and significantly greater than control animals. Whereas serum CSA levels were correlated to cholesterol levels (r = 0.95, p < 0.0001), there were no significant correlations with immunosuppressive activity. The present data suggest that increased binding of CSA to lipoproteins in the vascular compartment does not significantly impact on its immunosuppressive activity.
