ABCB1 attenuates brain exposure to the KRAS G12C inhibitor opnurasib whereas binding to mouse carboxylesterase 1c influences its plasma exposure. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 175:116720. [PMID: 38733773 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116720] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Opnurasib (JDQ443) is a newly developed oral KRASG12C inhibitor, with a binding mechanism distinct from the registered KRASG12C inhibitors sotorasib and adagrasib. Phase I and II clinical trials for opnurasib in NSCLC are ongoing. We evaluated the pharmacokinetic roles of the ABCB1 (P-gp/MDR1) and ABCG2 (BCRP) efflux and OATP1 influx transporters, and of the metabolizing enzymes CYP3A and CES1 in plasma and tissue disposition of oral opnurasib, using genetically modified cell lines and mouse models. In vitro, opnurasib was potently transported by human (h)ABCB1 and slightly by mouse (m)Abcg2. In Abcb1a/b- and Abcb1a/b;Abcg2-deficient mice, a significant ∼100-fold increase in brain-to-plasma ratios was observed. Brain penetration was unchanged in Abcg2-/- mice. ABCB1 activity in the blood-brain barrier may therefore potentially limit the efficacy of opnurasib against brain metastases. The Abcb1a/b transporter activity could be almost completely reversed by co-administration of elacridar, a dual ABCB1/ABCG2 inhibitor, increasing the brain penetration without any behavioral or postural signs of acute CNS-related toxicity. No significant pharmacokinetic roles of the OATP1 transporters were observed. Transgenic human CYP3A4 did not substantially affect the plasma exposure of opnurasib, indicating that opnurasib is likely not a sensitive CYP3A4 substrate. Interestingly, Ces1-/- mice showed a 4-fold lower opnurasib plasma exposure compared to wild-type mice, whereas no strong effect was seen on the tissue distribution. Plasma Ces1c therefore likely binds opnurasib, increasing its retention in plasma. The obtained pharmacokinetic insights may be useful for further optimization of the clinical efficacy and safety of opnurasib, and might reveal potential drug-drug interaction risks.

Roles of breast cancer resistance protein and organic anion transporting polypeptide 2B1 in gastrointestinal toxicity induced by SN-38 under inflammatory conditions. Toxicol Lett 2024; 394:57-65. [PMID: 38423481 DOI: 10.1016/j.toxlet.2024.02.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
Drug transporters are among the factors that determine the pharmacokinetic profiles after drug administration. In this study, we investigated the roles of drug transporters involved in transport of SN-38, which is an active metabolite of irinotecan, in the intestine under inflammatory conditions in vitro and determined their functional consequences. The expression alterations of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) and organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 2B1 were determined at the mRNA and protein levels, and the subsequent functional alterations were evaluated via an accumulation study with the representative transporter substrates [prazosin and dibromofluorescein (DBF)] and SN-38. We also determined the cytotoxicity of SN-38 under inflammatory conditions. Decreased BCRP expression and increased OATP2B1 expression were observed under inflammatory conditions in vitro, which led to altered accumulation profiles of prazosin, DBF, and SN-38, and the subsequent cytotoxic profiles of SN-38. Treatment with rifampin or novobiocin supported the significant roles of BCRP and OATP2B1 in the transport and cytotoxic profile of SN-38. Collectively, these results suggest that BCRP and OATP2B1 are involved in the increased cytotoxicity of SN-38 under inflammatory conditions in vitro. Further comprehensive research is warranted to completely understand SN-38-induced gastrointestinal cytotoxicity and aid in the successful treatment of cancer with irinotecan.

Abstract
The purpose of this literature review is to comprehensively summarize changes in the expression of phase II drug-metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters in both the pregnant woman and the placenta. Using PubMed®, a systematic search was conducted to identify literature relevant to drug metabolism and transport in pregnancy. PubMed was searched with pre-specified terms during the period of 26 May 2023 to 10 July 2023. The final dataset of 142 manuscripts was evaluated for evidence regarding the effect of gestational age and hormonal regulation on the expression of phase II enzymes (n = 16) and drug transporters (n = 38) in the pregnant woman and in the placenta. This comprehensive review exposes gaps in current knowledge of phase II enzyme and drug transporter localization, expression, and regulation during pregnancy, which emphasizes the need for further research. Moreover, the information collected in this review regarding phase II drug-metabolizing enzyme and drug transporter changes will aid in optimizing pregnancy physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models to inform dose selection in the pregnant population.

Abstract
Organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) are environmental pollutants of increasing interest, widely distributed in the environment and exerting possible deleterious effects towards the human health. The present study investigates in vitro their possible interactions with human drug transporters, which are targets for environmental chemicals and actors of their toxicokinetics. Some OPFRs, i.e., tris(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate (TBOEP), tris(1,3-dichloroisopropyl) phosphate (TDCPP), tri-o-cresyl phosphate (TOCP) and triphenyl phosphate (TPHP), were found to inhibit activities of some transporters, such as organic anion transporter 3 (OAT3), organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1, OATP1B3, organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2) or breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). These effects were concentration-dependent, with IC50 values ranging from 6.1 µM (for TDCPP-mediated inhibition of OCT2) to 51.4 µM (for TOCP-mediated inhibition of BCRP). OPFRs also blocked the transporter-dependent membrane passage of endogenous substrates, notably that of hormones. OAT3 however failed to transport TBOEP and TPHP. OPFRs additionally repressed mRNA expressions of some transporters in cultured human hepatic HepaRG cells, especially those of OAT2 and OCT1 in response to TOCP, with IC50 values of 2.3 µM and 2.5 µM, respectively. These data therefore add OPFRs to the expanding list of pollutants interacting with drug transporters, even if OPFR concentrations required to impact transporters, in the 2-50 µM range, are rather higher than those observed in humans environmentally or dietarily exposed to these chemicals.

Tastet V, Le Vée M, Bruyère A, Fardel O. Interactions of human drug transporters with chemical additives present in plastics: Potential consequences for toxicokinetics and health. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023:121882. [PMID: 37236587 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.121882] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2022] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023]
Abstract
Human membrane drug transporters are recognized as major actors of pharmacokinetics; they also handle endogenous compounds, including hormones and metabolites. Chemical additives present in plastics interact with human drug transporters, which may have consequences for the toxicokinetics and toxicity of these widely-distributed environmental and/or dietary pollutants, to which humans are highly exposed. The present review summarizes key findings about this topic. In vitro assays have demonstrated that various plastic additives, including bisphenols, phthalates, brominated flame retardants, poly-alkyl phenols and per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, can inhibit the activities of solute carrier uptake transporters and/or ATP-binding cassette efflux pumps. Some are substrates for transporters or can regulate their expression. The relatively low human concentration of plastic additives from environmental or dietary exposure is a key parameter to consider to appreciate the in vivo relevance of plasticizer-transporter interactions and their consequences for human toxicokinetics and toxicity of plastic additives, although even low concentrations of pollutants (in the nM range) may have clinical effects. Existing data about interactions of plastic additives with drug transporters remain somewhat sparse and incomplete. A more systematic characterization of plasticizer-transporter relationships is needed. The potential effects of chemical additive mixtures towards transporter activities and the identification of transporter substrates among plasticizers, as well as their interactions with transporters of emerging relevance deserve particular attention. A better understanding of the human toxicokinetics of plastic additives may help to fully integrate the possible contribution of transporters to the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of plastics-related chemicals, as well as to their deleterious effects towards human health.

Cymbopogon citratus and Citral Overcome Doxorubicin Resistance in Cancer Cells via Modulating the Drug's Metabolism, Toxicity, and Multidrug Transporters. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28083415. [PMID: 37110649 PMCID: PMC10143904 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28083415] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/08/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is the major complex mechanism that causes the failure of chemotherapy, especially with drugs of natural origin such as doxorubicin (DOX). Intracellular drug accumulation and detoxification are also involved in cancer resistance by reducing the susceptibility of cancer cells to death. This research aims to identify the volatile composition of Cymbopogon citratus (lemon grass; LG) essential oil and compare the ability of LG and its major compound, citral, to modulate MDR in resistant cell lines. The composition of LG essential oil was identified using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In addition, a comparison of the modulatory effects of LG and citral, performed on breast (MCF-7/ADR), hepatic (HepG-2/ADR), and ovarian (SKOV-3/ADR) MDR cell lines, were compared to their parent sensitive cells using the MTT assay, ABC transporter function assays, and RT-PCR. Oxygenated monoterpenes (53.69%), sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (19.19%), and oxygenated sesquiterpenes (13.79%) made up the yield of LG essential oil. α-citral (18.50%), β-citral (10.15%), geranyl acetate (9.65%), ylangene (5.70), δ-elemene (5.38%), and eugenol (4.77) represent the major constituents of LG oil. LG and citral (20 μg/mL) synergistically increased DOX cytotoxicity and lowered DOX dosage by >3-fold and >1.5-fold, respectively. These combinations showed synergism in the isobologram and CI < 1. DOX accumulation or reversal experiment confirmed that LG and citral modulated the efflux pump function. Both substances significantly increased DOX accumulation in resistant cells compared to untreated cells and verapamil (the positive control). RT-PCR confirmed that LG and citral targeted metabolic molecules in resistant cells and significantly downregulated PXR, CYP3A4, GST, MDR1, MRP1, and PCRP genes. Our results suggest a novel dietary and therapeutic strategy combining LG and citral with DOX to overcome multidrug resistance in cancer cells. However, these results should be confirmed by additional animal experiments before being used in human clinical trials.

[PMID: 37047003 PMCID: PMC10094375 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24076031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Oxidative stress is associated with several acute and chronic disorders, including hematological malignancies such as acute myeloid leukemia, the most prevalent acute leukemia in adults. Xenobiotics are usually harmless compounds that may be detrimental, such as pharmaceuticals, environmental pollutants, cosmetics, and even food additives. The storage of xenobiotics can serve as a defense mechanism or a means of bioaccumulation, leading to adverse effects. During the absorption, metabolism, and cellular excretion of xenobiotics, three steps may be distinguished: (i) inflow by transporter enzymes, (ii) phases I and II, and (iii) phase III. Phase I enzymes, such as those in the cytochrome P450 superfamily, catalyze the conversion of xenobiotics into more polar compounds, contributing to an elevated acute myeloid leukemia risk. Furthermore, genetic polymorphism influences the variability and susceptibility of related myeloid neoplasms, infant leukemias associated with mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL) gene rearrangements, and a subset of de novo acute myeloid leukemia. Recent research has shown a sustained interest in determining the regulators of cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily E, member 1 (CYP2E1) expression and activity as an emerging field that requires further investigation in acute myeloid leukemia evolution. Therefore, this review suggests that CYP2E1 and its mutations can be a therapeutic or diagnostic target in acute myeloid leukemia.

Abstract
Precision medicine gives individuals tailored medical treatment, with the genotype determining the therapeutic strategy, the appropriate dosage, and the likelihood of benefit or toxicity. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme families 1, 2, and 3 play a pivotal role in eliminating most drugs. Factors that affect CYP function and expression have a major impact on treatment outcomes. Therefore, polymorphisms of these enzymes result in alleles with diverse enzymatic activity and drug metabolism phenotypes. Africa has the highest CYP genetic diversity and also the highest burden of malaria and tuberculosis, and this review presents current general information on CYP enzymes together with variation data concerning antimalarial and antituberculosis drugs, while focusing on the first three CYP families. Afrocentric alleles such as CYP2A6*17, CYP2A6*23, CYP2A6*25, CYP2A6*28, CYP2B6*6, CYP2B6*18, CYP2C8*2, CYP2C9*5, CYP2C9*8, CYP2C9*9, CYP2C19*9, CYP2C19*13, CYP2C19*15, CYP2D6*2, CYP2D6*17, CYP2D6*29, and CYP3A4*15 are implicated in diverse metabolic phenotypes of different antimalarials such as artesunate, mefloquine, quinine, primaquine, and chloroquine. Moreover, CYP3A4, CYP1A1, CYP2C8, CYP2C18, CYP2C19, CYP2J2, and CYP1B1 are implicated in the metabolism of some second-line antituberculosis drugs such as bedaquiline and linezolid. Drug-drug interactions, induction/inhibition, and enzyme polymorphisms that influence the metabolism of antituberculosis, antimalarial, and other drugs, are explored. Moreover, a mapping of Afrocentric missense mutations to CYP structures and a documentation of their known effects provided structural insights, as understanding the mechanism of action of these enzymes and how the different alleles influence enzyme function is invaluable to the advancement of precision medicine.

Abstract
Background: Monitoring levels of endogenous biomarkers has become an alternative approach to assess transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions in clinical trials. Among the biomarkers of interest, kynurenic acid is effective for the human organic anion transporters OAT1 and OAT3. Here, a simple and robust bioanalytical method was developed using LC-MS/MS to quantify kynurenic acid in human plasma. Results: This method achieved a LLOQ of 10 nm with acceptable signal-to-noise ratio (S/N >5). In addition, an interfering agent, tryptophan, was identified and separated chromatographically. A full method validation was performed in the spirit of GLP. Conclusion: This method can serve as a tool readily available to assess potential drug-drug interactions mediated by inhibition of OAT1 and OAT3 activities.

Abstract
Understanding possible follow-up actions on in vitro findings helps determine the necessity of labeling for drug interactions. We analyzed information for in vitro findings on transporter-mediated interactions of drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research for the last five years (i.e., 2017–2021) and their follow-up actions for labeling. Higher R values than the pre-defined cut-off were observed with 3.7–39.1% inhibitor drugs in a simple prediction. Among these drugs, 16–41.7% were labeled with their potential drug interactions, while results of supporting studies or scientific rationales were submitted for the other drugs leading to no interaction labeling. In vitro transporter substrates were reported with 1.7–67.6% of drugs. The interaction labels for these substrate drugs were observed in up to 40% of drugs, while the other drugs were not labeled on the drug interactions with claims for their low interaction potential, evidenced by clinical studies or scientific rationales. The systematic and comprehensive analysis in this study will provide insight into the management of in vitro findings for transporter substrate or inhibitor drugs.

Zondo NM, Sobia P, Sivro A, Ngcapu S, Ramsuran V, Archary D. Pharmacogenomics of drug transporters for antiretroviral long-acting pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV. Front Genet 2022; 13:940661. [PMID: 36246609 PMCID: PMC9557974 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.940661] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The use of antiretrovirals (ARVs) as oral, topical, or long-acting pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has emerged as a promising strategy for HIV prevention. Clinical trials testing Truvada® [tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)/tenofovir (TFV) and emtricitabine (FTC)] as oral or topical PrEP in African women showed mixed results in preventing HIV infections. Since oral and topical PrEP effectiveness is dependent on adequate drug delivery and availability to sites of HIV infection such as the blood and female genital tract (FGT); host biological factors such as drug transporters have been implicated as key regulators of PrEP. Drug transporter expression levels and function have been identified as critical determinants of PrEP efficacy by regulating PrEP pharmacokinetics across various cells and tissues of the blood, renal tissues, FGT mucosal tissues and other immune cells targeted by HIV. In addition, biological factors such as genetic polymorphisms and genital inflammation also influence drug transporter expression levels and functionality. In this review, drug transporters and biological factors modulating drug transporter disposition are used to explain discrepancies observed in PrEP clinical trials. This review also provides insight at a pharmacological level of how these factors further increase the susceptibility of the FGT to HIV infections, subsequently contributing to ineffective PrEP interventions in African women.

A study of structure-activity relationship and anion-controlled quinolinyl Ag(I) complexes as antimicrobial and antioxidant agents as well as their interaction with macromolecules. Biometals 2022; 35:363-394. [PMID: 35275314 DOI: 10.1007/s10534-022-00377-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2021] [Accepted: 02/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
In this communication, we feature the synthesis and in-depth characterization of a series of silver(I) complexes obtained from the complexation of quinolin-4-yl Schiff base ligands ((E)-2-((quinolin-4-ylmethylene)amino)phenol La, 2-(quinolin-4-yl)benzo[d]thiazole Lb, (E)-N-(2-fluorophenyl)-1-(quinolin-4-yl)methanimine Lc, (E)-N-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(quinolin-4-yl)methanimine Ld, (E)-1-(quinolin-4-yl)-N-(p-tolyl)methanimine Le, (E)-1-(quinolin-4-yl)-N-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)methanimine Lf) and three different silver(I) anions (nitrate, perchlorate and triflate). Structurally, the complexes adopted different coordination geometries, which included distorted linear or distorted tetrahedral geometry. The complexes were evaluated in vitro for their potential antibacterial and antioxidant activities. In addition, their interactions with calf thymus-DNA (CT-DNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were evaluated. All the complexes had a wide spectrum of effective antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial and good antioxidant properties. The interactions of the complexes with CT-DNA and BSA were observed to occur either through intercalation or through a minor groove binder, while the interaction of the complexes with BSA reveals that some of the complexes can strongly quench the fluorescence of BSA through the static mechanism. The molecular docking studies of the complexes were also done to further elucidate the modes of interaction with CT-DNA and BSA.

Kell DB. The Transporter-Mediated Cellular Uptake and Efflux of Pharmaceutical Drugs and Biotechnology Products: How and Why Phospholipid Bilayer Transport Is Negligible in Real Biomembranes. Molecules 2021; 26:5629. [PMID: 34577099 PMCID: PMC8470029 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26185629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2021] [Revised: 09/03/2021] [Accepted: 09/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Over the years, my colleagues and I have come to realise that the likelihood of pharmaceutical drugs being able to diffuse through whatever unhindered phospholipid bilayer may exist in intact biological membranes in vivo is vanishingly low. This is because (i) most real biomembranes are mostly protein, not lipid, (ii) unlike purely lipid bilayers that can form transient aqueous channels, the high concentrations of proteins serve to stop such activity, (iii) natural evolution long ago selected against transport methods that just let any undesirable products enter a cell, (iv) transporters have now been identified for all kinds of molecules (even water) that were once thought not to require them, (v) many experiments show a massive variation in the uptake of drugs between different cells, tissues, and organisms, that cannot be explained if lipid bilayer transport is significant or if efflux were the only differentiator, and (vi) many experiments that manipulate the expression level of individual transporters as an independent variable demonstrate their role in drug and nutrient uptake (including in cytotoxicity or adverse drug reactions). This makes such transporters valuable both as a means of targeting drugs (not least anti-infectives) to selected cells or tissues and also as drug targets. The same considerations apply to the exploitation of substrate uptake and product efflux transporters in biotechnology. We are also beginning to recognise that transporters are more promiscuous, and antiporter activity is much more widespread, than had been realised, and that such processes are adaptive (i.e., were selected by natural evolution). The purpose of the present review is to summarise the above, and to rehearse and update readers on recent developments. These developments lead us to retain and indeed to strengthen our contention that for transmembrane pharmaceutical drug transport "phospholipid bilayer transport is negligible".

Abstract
Human Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes constitute a superfamily of membrane-bound hemoproteins that are responsible for the metabolism of a wide variety of clinically, physiologically, and toxicologically important compounds. These heme-thiolate monooxygenases play a pivotal role in the detoxification of xenobiotics, participating in the metabolism of many structurally diverge compounds. This short-review is intended to provide a summary on the major roles of CYPs in Phase I xenobiotic metabolism. The manuscript is focused on eight main topics that include the most relevant aspects of past and current CYP research. Initially, (I) a general overview of the main aspects of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of xenobiotics are presented. This is followed by (II) a background overview on major achievements in the past of the CYP research field. (III) Classification and nomenclature of CYPs is briefly reviewed, followed by (IV) a summary description on CYP’s location and function in mammals. Subsequently, (V) the physiological relevance of CYP as the cornerstone of Phase I xenobiotic metabolism is highlighted, followed by (VI) reviewing both genetic determinants and (VI) nongenetic factors in CYP function and activity. The last topic of the review (VIII) is focused on the current challenges of the CYP research field.

Abstract
This review summarizes how possible age-related changes in tacrolimus and cyclosporine pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics may influence drug dosing and monitoring in the elderly, and highlights how micro-sampling may be useful in this cohort in the future. Advancing biological age leads to physiological changes that can affect drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion, as well as immune system responsiveness. Some studies have shown that elderly recipients may have higher dose-adjusted exposure and/or lower clearance of the calcineurin inhibitors, suggesting that doses may need to be lowered in elderly recipients. Only one study has examined how aging effects drug target enzyme activity and demonstrated that age does not correlate with the calcineurin inhibitor half-maximal inhibitory concentration. Several studies have shown elderly kidney transplant recipients have increased risk of both morbidity and mortality, compared to younger adults due to increased susceptibility to immunosuppressant side effects, particularly cardiovascular disease, infection and malignancy. Current immunosuppressant dosing and monitoring protocols often make no adjustments for age. Lower maintenance immunosuppressant targets in elderly recipients may decrease patient susceptibility to drug side effects, however, further studies are required and appropriate targets need to be established. Blood draw by micro-sampling may be useful for drug monitoring in this cohort in the future, as blood collection is minimally invasive and less painful than venepuncture. Micro-sampling could also make further pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamics and outcome studies in the elderly more feasible.

Abstract
We analyzed the influence of calculated physicochemical properties of more than 20,000 compounds on their P-gp and BCRP mediated efflux, microsomal stability, hERG inhibition, and plasma protein binding. Our goal was to provide guidance for designing compounds with desired pharmacokinetic profiles. Our analysis showed that compounds with ClogP less than 3 and molecular weight less than 400 will have high microsomal stability and low plasma protein binding. Compounds with logD less than 2.2 and/or basic pKa larger than 5.3 are likely to be BCRP substrates and compounds with basic pKa less than 5.2 and/or acidic pKa less than 13.4 are less likely to inhibit hERG. Based on these results, compounds with MW < 400, ClogP < 3, basic pKa < 5.2 and acidic pKa < 13.4 are likely to have good bioavailability and low hERG inhibition.

Ontogeny of Hepatic Transporters and Drug-Metabolizing Enzymes in Humans and in Nonclinical Species. Pharmacol Rev 2021; 73:597-678. [PMID: 33608409 DOI: 10.1124/pharmrev.120.000071] [Citation(s) in RCA: 55] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The liver represents a major eliminating and detoxifying organ, determining exposure to endogenous compounds, drugs, and other xenobiotics. Drug transporters (DTs) and drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) are key determinants of disposition, efficacy, and toxicity of drugs. Changes in their mRNA and protein expression levels and associated functional activity between the perinatal period until adulthood impact drug disposition. However, high-resolution ontogeny profiles for hepatic DTs and DMEs in nonclinical species and humans are lacking. Meanwhile, increasing use of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models necessitates availability of underlying ontogeny profiles to reliably predict drug exposure in children. In addition, understanding of species similarities and differences in DT/DME ontogeny is crucial for selecting the most appropriate animal species when studying the impact of development on pharmacokinetics. Cross-species ontogeny mapping is also required for adequate translation of drug disposition data in developing nonclinical species to humans. This review presents a quantitative cross-species compilation of the ontogeny of DTs and DMEs relevant to hepatic drug disposition. A comprehensive literature search was conducted on PubMed Central: Tables and graphs (often after digitization) in original manuscripts were used to extract ontogeny data. Data from independent studies were standardized and normalized before being compiled in graphs and tables for further interpretation. New insights gained from these high-resolution ontogeny profiles will be indispensable to understand cross-species differences in maturation of hepatic DTs and DMEs. Integration of these ontogeny data into PBPK models will support improved predictions of pediatric hepatic drug disposition processes. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Hepatic drug transporters (DTs) and drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) play pivotal roles in hepatic drug disposition. Developmental changes in expression levels and activities of these proteins drive age-dependent pharmacokinetics. This review compiles the currently available ontogeny profiles of DTs and DMEs expressed in livers of humans and nonclinical species, enabling robust interpretation of age-related changes in drug disposition and ultimately optimization of pediatric drug therapy.

Abstract
Drug transporters are integral membrane proteins that play a critical role in drug disposition by affecting absorption, distribution, and excretion. They translocate drugs, as well as endogenous molecules and toxins, across membranes using ATP hydrolysis, or ion/concentration gradients. In general, drug transporters are expressed ubiquitously, but they function in drug disposition by being concentrated in tissues such as the intestine, the kidneys, the liver, and the brain. Based on their primary sequence and their mechanism, transporters can be divided into the ATP-binding cassette (ABC), solute-linked carrier (SLC), and the solute carrier organic anion (SLCO) superfamilies. Many X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures have been solved in the ABC and SLC transporter superfamilies or of their bacterial homologs. The structures have provided valuable insight into the structural basis of transport. This chapter will provide particular focus on the promiscuous drug transporters because of their effect on drug disposition and the challenges associated with them.

Abstract
Adverse pharmacokinetic interactions between illicit substances and clinical drugs are of a significant health concern. Illicit substances are taken by healthy individuals as well as by patients with medical conditions such as mental illnesses, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, diabetes mellitus and cancer. Many individuals that use illicit substances simultaneously take clinical drugs meant for targeted treatment. This concomitant usage can lead to life-threatening pharmacokinetic interactions between illicit substances and clinical drugs. Optimal levels and activity of drug-metabolizing enzymes and drug-transporters are crucial for metabolism and disposition of illicit substances as well as clinical drugs. However, both illicit substances and clinical drugs can induce changes in the expression and/or activity of drug-metabolizing enzymes and drug-transporters. Consequently, with concomitant usage, illicit substances can adversely influence the therapeutic outcome of coadministered clinical drugs. Likewise, clinical drugs can adversely affect the response of coadministered illicit substances. While the interactions between illicit substances and clinical drugs pose a tremendous health and financial burden, they lack a similar level of attention as drug-drug, food-drug, supplement-drug, herb-drug, disease-drug, or other substance-drug interactions such as alcohol-drug and tobacco-drug interactions. This review highlights the clinical pharmacokinetic interactions between clinical drugs and commonly used illicit substances such as cannabis, cocaine and 3, 4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). Rigorous efforts are warranted to further understand the underlying mechanisms responsible for these clinical pharmacokinetic interactions. It is also critical to extend the awareness of the life-threatening adverse interactions to both health care professionals and patients.

Abstract
Uraemic syndrome (also known as uremic syndrome) in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease involves the accumulation in plasma of small-molecule uraemic solutes and uraemic toxins (also known as uremic toxins), dysfunction of multiple organs and dysbiosis of the gut microbiota. As such, uraemic syndrome can be viewed as a disease of perturbed inter-organ and inter-organism (host-microbiota) communication. Multiple biological pathways are affected, including those controlled by solute carrier (SLC) and ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters and drug-metabolizing enzymes, many of which are also involved in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination (ADME). The remote sensing and signalling hypothesis identifies SLC and ABC transporter-mediated communication between organs and/or between the host and gut microbiota as key to the homeostasis of metabolites, antioxidants, signalling molecules, microbiota-derived products and dietary components in body tissues and fluid compartments. Thus, this hypothesis provides a useful perspective on the pathobiology of uraemic syndrome. Pathways considered central to drug ADME might be particularly important for the body's attempts to restore homeostasis, including the correction of disturbances due to kidney injury and the accumulation of uraemic solutes and toxins. This Review discusses how the remote sensing and signalling hypothesis helps to provide a systems-level understanding of aspects of uraemia that could lead to novel approaches to its treatment.

Abstract
Precision medicine is a rapidly-developing modality of medicine in human healthcare. Based on each patient׳s unique characteristics, more accurate dosages and drug selection can be made to achieve better therapeutic efficacy and less adverse reactions in precision medicine. A patient׳s individual parameters that affect drug transporter action can be used to develop a precision medicine guidance, due to the fact that therapeutic efficacy and adverse reactions of drugs can both be affected by expression and function of drug transporters on the cell membrane surface. The purpose of this review is to summarize unique characteristics of human breast cancer resistant protein (BCRP) and the genetic variability in the BCRP encoded gene ABCG2 in the development of precision medicine. Inter-individual variability of BCRP/ABCG2 can impact choices and outcomes of drug treatment for several diseases, including cancer chemotherapy. Several factors have been implicated in expression and function of BCRP, including genetic, epigenetic, physiologic, pathologic, and environmental factors. Understanding the roles of these factors in controlling expression and function of BCRP is critical for the development of precision medicine based on BCRP-mediated drug transport.

Abstract
This review examines what is currently known about the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of commonly prescribed immunosuppressant medicines, tacrolimus, cyclosporine, mycophenolate and prednisolone, in elderly renal transplant recipients, and reported patient outcomes in this cohort. Renal transplantation is increasing rapidly in the elderly, however, currently, long-term patient outcomes are relatively poor compared to younger adults. Some studies have suggested that elderly recipients may have higher dose-adjusted exposure and/or lower clearance of the calcineurin inhibitors tacrolimus and cyclosporine; with one study reporting up to 50% reduction in tacrolimus exposure in the elderly. Elderly transplant recipients do not appear to have higher dosage-adjusted exposure to mycophenolic acid (MPA). The effects of ageing on the pharmacokinetics of prednisolone are unknown. Only one study has examined how aging effects drug target enzymes, reporting no difference in baseline inosine 5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) activity and MPA-induced IMPDH activity in elderly compared to younger adult renal transplant recipients. In elderly transplant recipients, immunosenescence likely lowers the risk of acute rejection, but increases the risk of drug-related adverse effects. Currently, the three main causes of death in elderly renal transplant recipients are cardiovascular disease, infection and malignancy. One study has showed that renal transplant recipients aged over 65 years are seven times more likely to die with a functioning graft compared with young adults (aged 18-29 years). This suggests that an optimal balance between immunosuppressant medicine efficacy and toxicity is not achieved in elderly recipients, and further studies are needed to foster long-term graft and patient survival. Lower maintenance immunosuppressant targets in elderly recipients may decrease patient susceptibility to drug side effects, however, further studies are required and appropriate targets need to be established.

Abstract
Polymyxin-induced nephrotoxicity is the major dose-limiting factor and can occur in up to 60% of patients after intravenous administration. This chapter reviews the latest literature on the mechanisms of polymyxin-induced nephrotoxicity and its amelioration. After filtration by glomeruli, polymyxins substantially accumulate in renal proximal tubules via receptor-mediated endocytosis mainly by megalin and PEPT2. It is believed that subsequently, a cascade of interconnected events occur, including the activation of death receptor and mitochondrial apoptotic pathways, mitochondrial damage, endoplasmic reticulum stress, oxidative stress and cell cycle arrest. The current literature shows that oxidative stress plays a key role in polymyxin-induced kidney damage. Use of antioxidants have a potential in the attenuation of polymyxin-induced nephrotoxicity, thereby widening the therapeutic window. Mechanistic findings on polymyxin-induced nephrotoxicity are critical for the optimization of their use in the clinic and the discovery of safer polymyxin-like antibiotics.

Abstract
In various tissues, steroid hormones may be sulfated, glucuronidated or otherwise modified. For a long time, these hydrophilic molecules have been considered to be merely inactive metabolites for excretion via bile or urine. Nevertheless, different organs such as the placenta and breast tissue produce large amounts of sulfated steroids. After the discovery of the enzyme steroid sulfatase, which is able to re-activate sulfated steroids, these precursor molecules entered the focus of interest again as a local supply for steroid hormone synthesis with a prolonged half-life compared to their unconjugated counterparts. The first descriptions of this so-called sulfatase pathway in the placenta and breast tissue (with special regards to hormone-dependent breast cancer) were quickly followed by studies of steroid sulfate production and function in the testis. These hydrophilic molecules may not permeate the cell membrane by diffusion in the way that unbound steroids can, but need to be transported through the plasma membrane by transport systems. In the testis, a functional sulfatase pathway requires the expression of specific uptake carrier and efflux transporters in testicular cells, i.e. Sertoli, Leydig and germ cells. Main focus has to be placed on Sertoli cells, as these cells build up the blood-testis barrier. In this review, an overview of carrier expression pattern in the human as well as rodent testis is provided with special interest towards implications on fertility.

Abstract
The sodium-dependent organic anion transporter SOAT specifically transports sulfated steroid hormones and is supposed to play a role in testicular steroid regulation and male fertility. The present study aimed to identify novel specific SOAT inhibitors for further in vitro and in vivo studies on SOAT function. More than 100 compounds of different molecular structures were screened for inhibition of the SOAT-mediated transport of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate in stably transfected SOAT-HEK293 cells. Twenty-five of these with IC50 values covering four orders of magnitude were selected as training set for 3D pharmacophore modelling. The SOAT pharmacophore features were calculated by CATALYST and consist of three hydrophobic sites and two hydrogen bond acceptors. By substrate database screening, compound T 0511-1698 was predicted as a novel SOAT inhibitor with an IC50 of 15 μM. This value was confirmed by cell-based transport assays. Therefore, the developed SOAT pharmacophore model demonstrated its suitability in predicting novel SOAT inhibitors.

Abstract
The ATP-binding cassette transporter G2 (ABCG2) is involved in the secretion of several drugs into milk. The bovine Y581S ABCG2 polymorphism increases the secretion into milk of the fluoroquinolone danofloxacin in Holstein cows. Danofloxacin and enrofloxacin are the fluoroquinolones most widely used in veterinary medicine. Both enrofloxacin (ENRO) and its active metabolite ciprofloxacin (CIPRO) reach milk at relatively high concentrations. The aim of this work was to study the effect of the bovine Y581S ABCG2 polymorphism on in vitro transport as well as on concentrations in plasma and in milk of ENRO and CIPRO. Experiments using cells overexpressing bovine ABCG2 showed the effects of ABCG2 on the transport of CIPRO, demonstrating more efficient in vitro transport of this antimicrobial by the S581 variant as compared with the Y581 variant. Animal studies administering 2.5mg/kg of ENRO subcutaneously to Y/Y 581 and Y/S 581 cows revealed that concentrations in plasma of ENRO and CIPRO were significantly lower in Y/S animals. Regardless of the genotype, the antimicrobial profile in milk after the administration of ENRO was predominantly of CIPRO. With respect to the genotype effects on the amounts of drugs present in milk, AUC0-24 values were more than 1.2 times higher in Y/S cows for ENRO and 2.2 times for CIPRO, indicating a greater capacity of Y581S to transfer these drugs into milk. These results emphasize the clinical relevance of this polymorphism as a factor affecting the concentrations in plasma and in milk of drugs of importance in veterinary medicine.

Abstract
Resistance to chemotherapy is a major limitation of cancer treatments with several molecular mechanisms involved, in particular altered local drug metabolism and detoxification process. The role of drug metabolism and clearance system has not been satisfactorily investigated in Multiple Myeloma (MM), a malignant plasma cell cancer for which a majority of patients escapes treatment. The expression of 350 genes encoding for uptake carriers, xenobiotic receptors, phase I and II Drug Metabolizing Enzymes (DMEs) and efflux transporters was interrogated in MM cells (MMCs) of newly-diagnosed patients in relation to their event free survival. MMCs of patients with a favourable outcome have an increased expression of genes coding for xenobiotic receptors (RXRα, LXR, CAR and FXR) and accordingly of their gene targets, influx transporters and phase I/II DMEs. On the contrary, MMCs of patients with unfavourable outcome displayed a global down regulation of genes coding for xenobiotic receptors and the downstream detoxification genes but had a high expression of genes coding for ARNT and Nrf2 pathways and ABC transporters. Altogether, these data suggests ARNT and Nrf2 pathways could be involved in MM primary resistance and that targeting RXRα, PXR, LXR and FXR through agonists could open new perspectives to alleviate or reverse MM drug resistance.

A proposed resolution to the paradox of drug reward: Dopamine's evolution from an aversive signal to a facilitator of drug reward via negative reinforcement. Neurosci Biobehav Rev 2015; 56:50-61. [PMID: 26116542 DOI: 10.1016/j.neubiorev.2015.06.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2014] [Revised: 06/09/2015] [Accepted: 06/19/2015] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
The mystery surrounding how plant neurotoxins came to possess reinforcing properties is termed the paradox of drug reward. Here we propose a resolution to this paradox whereby dopamine - which has traditionally been viewed as a signal of reward - initially signaled aversion and encouraged escape. We suggest that after being consumed, plant neurotoxins such as nicotine activated an aversive dopaminergic pathway, thereby deterring predatory herbivores. Later evolutionary events - including the development of a GABAergic system capable of modulating dopaminergic activity - led to the ability to down-regulate and 'control' this dopamine-based aversion. We speculate that this negative reinforcement system evolved so that animals could suppress aversive states such as hunger in order to attend to other internal drives (such as mating and shelter) that would result in improved organismal fitness.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The pharmacokinetic properties of anti-infective drugs are a determinant part of treatment success. Pathogen replication is inhibited if adequate drug levels are achieved in target sites, whereas excessive drug concentrations linked to toxicity are to be avoided. Anti-infective distribution can be predicted by integrating in vitro drug properties and mathematical descriptions of human anatomy in physiologically based pharmacokinetic models. This method reduces the need for animal and human studies and is used increasingly in drug development and simulation of clinical scenario such as, for instance, drug-drug interactions, dose optimization, novel formulations and pharmacokinetics in special populations. AREAS COVERED We have assessed the relevance of physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling in the anti-infective research field, giving an overview of mechanisms involved in model design and have suggested strategies for future applications of physiologically based pharmacokinetic models. EXPERT OPINION Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling provides a powerful tool in anti-infective optimization, and there is now no doubt that both industry and regulatory bodies have recognized the importance of this technology. It should be acknowledged, however, that major challenges remain to be addressed and that information detailing disease group physiology and anti-infective pharmacodynamics is required if a personalized medicine approach is to be achieved.

Abstract
Sesaminol triglucoside is a major lignin in sesame meal and has a methylenedioxyphenyl group and multiple functions in vivo. As a tetrahydrofurofuran type lignan, sesaminol triglucoside is metabolized to mammalian lignans. This investigation studies the effect of sesaminol triglucoside and its tetrahydrofuranoid metabolites (sesaminol, 2-episesaminol, hydroxymethyl sesaminol-tetrahydrofuran, enterolactone, and enterodiol) on gene expression in primary rat hepatocytes using a DNA microarray. Sesame lignans significantly affected the expression of xenobiotic-induced transcripts of cytochrome P450, solute carrier (SLC), and ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. Changes in gene expression were generally greater in response to metabolites with methylenedioxyphenyl moieties (sesaminol triglucoside, sesaminol, and 2-episesaminol) than to the tetrahydrofuranoid metabolites (hydroxymethyl sesaminol-tetrahydrofuran, enterolactone, and enterodiol). Tetrahydrofuran lignans, such as sesaminol triglucoside, sesamin, hydroxymethyl sesaminol-tetrahydrofuran, and sesaminol changed the expression of ABC transporters.

Front Genet 2014; 5:167. [PMID: 24926315 PMCID: PMC4044583 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2014.00167] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2014] [Accepted: 05/19/2014] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Pharmacogenomics research has concentrated on variation in genes coding for drug metabolizing enzymes, transporters and nuclear receptors. However, variation affecting microRNA could also play a role in drug response. This project set out to investigate potential microRNA target sites in 11 genes and the extent of variation in the 3′-UTR of six selected genes; CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, NR1I2, and UGT2B7. Methods: Fifteen microRNA target prediction algorithms were used to identify microRNAs predicted to regulate 11 genes. The 3′-UTR of the 6 genes which topped the list of potential microRNA targets was sequenced in 30 black South Africans. In addition, genetic variants within these genes were investigated for interference with mRNA-microRNA interactions. Potential effects of observed variants were determined using in silico prediction tools. Results: The 11 genes coding for DMEs, transporters and nuclear receptors were predicted to be targets of microRNAs with CYP2B6, NR1I2 (PXR), CYP3A4, and CYP1A2, interacting with the most microRNAs. The majority of identified genetic variants were predicted to interfere with microRNA regulation. For example, the variant, rs1054190C in NR1I2 was predicted to result in the presence of a binding site for the microRNA miR-1250-5p, while the variant rs1054191G was predicted to result in the absence of a recognition site for miR-371b-3p, miR-4258 and miR-4707-3p. Fifteen of the seventeen, novel variants occurred within microRNA target sequences. Conclusion: The 3′-UTR harbors variation that is likely to influence regulation of specific genes by microRNA. In silico prediction followed by functional validation could aid in decoding the contribution of variation in the 3′-UTR, to some unexplained heritability that affects drug response. Understanding the specific role of each microRNA may lead to identification of markers for targeted therapy and therefore improve personalized drug treatment.

Abstract
The historical phasing concept of drug metabolism and elimination was introduced to comprise the two phases of metabolism: phase I metabolism for oxidations, reductions and hydrolyses, and phase II metabolism for synthesis. With this concept, biological membrane barriers obstructing the accessibility of metabolism sites in the cells for drugs were not considered. The concept of two phases was extended to a concept of four phases when drug transporters were detected that guided drugs and drug metabolites in and out of the cells. In particular, water soluble or charged drugs are virtually not able to overcome the phospholipid membrane barrier. Drug transporters belong to two main clusters of transporter families: the solute carrier (SLC) families and the ATP binding cassette (ABC) carriers. The ABC transporters comprise seven families with about 20 carriers involved in drug transport. All of them operate as pumps at the expense of ATP splitting. Embedded in the former phase concept, the term "phase III" was introduced by Ishikawa in 1992 for drug export by ABC efflux pumps. SLC comprise 52 families, from which many carriers are drug uptake transporters. Later on, this uptake process was referred to as the "phase 0 transport" of drugs. Transporters for xenobiotics in man and animal are most expressed in liver, but they are also present in extra-hepatic tissues such as in the kidney, the adrenal gland and lung. This review deals with the function of drug carriers in various organs and their impact on drug metabolism and elimination.

Abstract
A major problem in cancer treatment is the development of resistance to chemotherapeutic agents, multidrug resistance (MDR), associated with increased activity of transmembrane drug transporter proteins which impair cytotoxic treatment by rapidly removing the drugs from the targeted cells. Previously, it has been shown that heparin treatment of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy increases survival. In order to determine whether heparin is capable reducing MDR and increasing the potency of chemotherapeutic drugs, the cytoxicity of a number of agents toward four cancer cell lines (a human enriched breast cancer stem cell line, two human breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231, and a human lung cancer cell line A549) was tested in the presence or absence of heparin. Results demonstrated that heparin increased the cytotoxicity of a range of chemotherapeutic agents. This effect was associated with the ability of heparin to bind to several of the drug transport proteins of the ABC and non ABC transporter systems. Among the ABC system, heparin treatment caused significant inhibition of the ATPase activity of ABCG2 and ABCC1, and of the efflux function observed as enhanced intracellular accumulation of specific substrates. Doxorubicin cytoxicity, which was enhanced by heparin treatment of MCF-7 cells, was found to be under the control of one of the major non-ABC transporter proteins, lung resistance protein (LRP). LRP was also shown to be a heparin-binding protein. These findings indicate that heparin has a potential role in the clinic as a drug transporter modulator to reduce multidrug resistance in cancer patients.

Abstract
Most globally popular drugs are plant neurotoxins or their close chemical analogs. These compounds evolved to deter, not reward or reinforce, consumption. Moreover, they reliably activate virtually all toxin defense mechanisms, and are thus correctly identified by human neurophysiology as toxins. Acute drug toxicity must therefore play a more central role in drug use theory. We accordingly challenge the popular idea that the rewarding and reinforcing properties of drugs "hijack" the brain, and propose instead that the brain evolved to carefully regulate neurotoxin consumption to minimize fitness costs and maximize fitness benefits. This perspective provides a compelling explanation for the dramatic changes in substance use that occur during the transition from childhood to adulthood, and for pervasive sex differences in substance use: because nicotine and many other plant neurotoxins are teratogenic, children, and to a lesser extent women of childbearing age, evolved to avoid ingesting them. However, during the course of human evolution many adolescents and adults reaped net benefits from regulated intake of plant neurotoxins.

Abstract
In recent years, our understanding of the importance of membrane transporters (MTs) in the disposition of and response to drugs has increased significantly. MTs are proteins that regulate the transport of endogenous molecules and xenobiotics across the cell membrane. In mammals, two super-families have been identified: ATP-binding cassette (ABC) and solute carrier (SLC) transporters. There is evidence that MTs might mediate polyamines (PA) transport. PA are ubiquitous polycations which are found in all living cells. In mammalian cells, three major PA are synthesised: putrescine, spermidine and spermine; whilst the decarboxylated arginine (agmatine) is not produced by mammals but is synthesised by plants and bacteria. In addition, research in the PA field suggests that PA are transported into cells via a specific transporter, the polyamine transport system(s) (PTS). Although the PTS has not been fully defined, there is evidence that some of the known MTs might be involved in PA transport. In this mini review, eight SLC transporters will be reviewed and their potential to mediate PA transport in human cells discussed. These transporters are SLC22A1, SLC22A2, SLC22A3, SLC47A1, SLC7A1, SLC3A2, SLC12A8A, and SLC22A16. Preliminary data from our laboratory have revealed that SLC22A1 might be involved in the PA uptake; in addition to one member of ABC superfamily (MDR1 protein) might also mediate the efflux of polyamine like molecules.

Membrane transporters for sulfated steroids in the human testis--cellular localization, expression pattern and functional analysis. PLoS One 2013; 8:e62638.

Abstract
Sulfated steroid hormones are commonly considered to be biologically inactive metabolites, but may be reactivated by the steroid sulfatase into biologically active free steroids, thereby having regulatory function via nuclear androgen and estrogen receptors which are widespread in the testis. However, a prerequisite for this mode of action would be a carrier-mediated import of the hydrophilic steroid sulfate molecules into specific target cells in reproductive tissues such as the testis. In the present study we detected predominant expression of the Sodium-dependent Organic Anion Transporter (SOAT), the Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptide 6A1, and the Organic Solute Carrier Partner 1 in human testis biopsies. All of these showed significantly lower or even absent mRNA expression in severe disorders of spermatogenesis (arrest at the level of spermatocytes or spermatogonia, Sertoli cell only syndrome). Only SOAT was significantly lower expressed in biopsies showing hypospermatogenesis. By use of immunohistochemistry SOAT was localized to germ cells at various stages in human testis biopsies showing normal spermatogenesis. SOAT immunoreactivity was detected in zygotene primary spermatocytes of stage V, pachytene spermatocytes of all stages (I–V), secondary spermatocytes of stage VI, and round spermatids (step 1 and step 2) in stages I and II. Furthermore, SOAT transport function for steroid sulfates was analyzed with a novel liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry procedure capable of profiling steroid sulfate molecules from cell lysates. With this technique, the cellular inward-directed SOAT transport was verified for the established substrates dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and estrone-3-sulfate. Additionally, β-estradiol-3-sulfate and androstenediol-3-sulfate were identified as novel SOAT substrates.

Abstract
The SLC10 family represents seven genes containing 1-12 exons that encode proteins in humans with sequence lengths of 348-477 amino acids. Although termed solute carriers (SLCs), only three out of seven (i.e. SLC10A1, SLC10A2, and SLC10A6) show sodium-dependent uptake of organic substrates across the cell membrane. These include the uptake of bile salts, sulfated steroids, sulfated thyroidal hormones, and certain statin drugs by SLC10A1 (Na(+)-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP)), the uptake of bile salts by SLC10A2 (apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT)), and uptake of sulfated steroids and sulfated taurolithocholate by SLC10A6 (sodium-dependent organic anion transporter (SOAT)). The other members of the family are orphan carriers not all localized in the cell membrane. The name "bile acid transporter family" arose because the first two SLC10 members (NTCP and ASBT) are carriers for bile salts that establish their enterohepatic circulation. In recent years, information has been obtained on their 2D and 3D membrane topology, structure-transport relationships, and on the ligand and sodium-binding sites. For SLC10A2, the putative 3D morphology was deduced from the crystal structure of a bacterial SLC10A2 analog, ASBT(NM). This information was used in this chapter to calculate the putative 3D structure of NTCP. This review provides first an introduction to recent knowledge about bile acid synthesis and newly found bile acid hormonal functions, and then describes step-by-step each individual member of the family in terms of expression, localization, substrate pattern, as well as protein topology with emphasis on the three functional SLC10 carrier members.

Abstract
OATP1B1, OATP1B3 and OATP2B1 are important members of the organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATP) family and are implicated in the hepatic disposition of endobiotics and xenobiotics. Quantitating the expression levels of human OATP1B1, OATP1B3 and OATP2B1 in in vitro systems and tissue samples could significantly improve attempts to scale up in vitro data and result in more effective in vitro-in vivo correlation of transporter-mediated effects on drug disposition, such as hepatic clearance. In the present study, a quantification method was developed, characterized, and implemented for simultaneous determination of human OATP1B1, OATP1B3 and OATP2B1 in HEK cells transfected with OATP-expressing plasmid vectors (SLCO1B1, SLCO1B3, and SLCO2B1, respectively), human hepatocytes, human brain capillary endothelial cells, and humanized mouse liver tissue using UPLC-MRM MS. Purified membrane protein standards prepared and characterized as previously reported (Protein Expr. Purif. 2008, 57, 163-71) were first used as standards for absolute quantification of the expression levels of the three human OATP membrane proteins. The specificity of the optimized MRM transitions were characterized by analyzing the tryptic digests of the membrane protein fraction of wild type HEK cells and control mouse liver tissue using the herein reported UPLC-MRM MS method. The linearity of the calibration curve spanned from 0.2 μg mL(-1) (0.040 μg mg(-1)) to 20 μg mL(-1) (4.0 μg mg(-1)), with accuracy (% RE) within 15% at all concentrations examined for all three OATPs of interest in this study. The intra- and inter-day assay accuracy (% RE) and coefficient of variations (% CV) of triplicates are all within 15% for all levels of quality control samples prepared by mixing the membrane fraction of control mouse liver tissue with the required amount of purified human OATP1B1, OATP1B3 and OATP2B1.

Abstract
Liver function tests are of critical importance for the management of patients with severe or terminal liver disease. They are also used as prognostic tools for planning liver resections. In recent years many transport systems have been identified that also transport substances employed in liver function tests. Such substances include endogenous bilirubin or exogenously administered indocyanine green, agents for magnetic resonance imaging, agents for single photon emission computed tomography or agents for breath tests. The increasing functional and molecular information on the respective transport systems should improve the management and as a result the outcome of patients scheduled for liver surgery or transplantation. To achieve the latter goal, clinical studies that assess individual patients' liver function over the course of their disease with liver function tests are needed to firmly establish and validate recently introduced and novel liver function markers.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of interferon-α2b (IFN-α2b) on the expression of various drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters in freshly prepared co-cultures (parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells) of human primary hepatocytes. At therapeutically relevant concentrations (from 1000 to 3000 IU/mL), IFN-α2b up-regulated STAT1 (signal transducer and activator of transcription factor 1) mRNA expression. Conversely, three cytochrome P450s (CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2E1), a UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT2B7), a sulphotransferase (SULT1A1) and organic anion transporter (OAT2) were significantly down-regulated (~50%; P < 0.05). Western blot analysis of CYP1A2, UGT2B7 and OAT2 protein supported the mRNA data. Two peroxisome proliferator activator receptor alpha (PPARα)-controlled genes (pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 and adipose differentiation-related protein), CYP3A4 and multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 were significantly up-regulated (up to 223%; P < 0.05). On the other hand, SULT2A1, carboxylesterase 2, organic anion transporting peptide (OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OATP2B1), organic cation transporter 1, P-glycoprotein and breast cancer resistance protein mRNA expression was not significantly affected. Western blot analysis of CYP3A4 supported the mRNA data also. The present results demonstrated complex interactions between IFN-α2b and hepatocytes and the observed down-regulation of CYP1A2, OAT2 and UGT2B7 is consistent with reports of drug interactions between IFN-α2b and drugs such as theophylline, clozapine and gemfibrozil.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) plays a crucial role in the multidrug resistance of pathogenic helminths in sheep (Ovis aries) as well as in antiparasitic drug pharmacokinetics in the host. We cloned sheep P-gp cDNA and expressed it stably in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. The open reading frame consists of 3858 nucleotides coding for a 1285 amino acids containing protein. The sequence shows high homology to the orthologs of other mammalian species, especially cattle. Both ruminant DNA sequences show a 9 bp insertion that is lacking in all other investigated sequences. Expressed in MDCK cells, the protein displays a size of 170 kDa on Western analysis. Transfection of MDCK cells with sheep P-gp resulted in 10- to 50-fold resistance to the cytotoxic P-gp substrates colchicin and daunorubicin, and in reduced digoxin accumulation.

Abstract
Aims: Polymorphisms of genes involved in the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes underlie the divergent drug responses among individuals. Despite some successes in identifying these polymorphisms, the candidate gene approach suffers from insufficient gene coverage whereas the genome-wide association approach is limited by less than ideal coverage of SNPs in some important genes. To expand the potential of the candidate approach, we aim to delineate a comprehensive network of drug-response genes for in-depth genetic studies. Materials & methods: Pharmacologically important genes were extracted from various sources including literatures and web resources. These genes, along with their homologs and regulatory miRNAs, were organized based on their pharmacological functions and weighted by literature evidence and confidence levels. Their coverage was evaluated by analyzing three commercial SNP chips commonly used for genome-wide association studies: Affymetrix SNP array 6.0, Illumina HumanHap1M and Illumina Omni. Results: A panel of drug-response genes was constructed, which contains 923 pharmacokinetic genes, 703 pharmacodynamic genes and 720 miRNAs. There are only 16.7% of these genes whose all known SNPs can be directly or indirectly (r2 > 0.8) captured by the SNP chips with coverage of more than 80%. This is possibly because these SNPs chips have notably poor performance over rare SNPs and miRNA genes. Conclusion: We have compiled a panel of candidate genes that may be pharmacologically important. Using this knowledgebase, we are able to systematically evaluate genes and their variants that govern an individual’s response to a given pharmaceutical therapy. This approach can serve as a necessary complement to genome-wide associations.

Abstract
The individual response to a drug in terms of drug efficacy and toxicity is highly variable; this represents a major problem in clinical practice. Potential causes for such variability include pathogenesis and severity of the disease being treated, drug interactions, patient age, nutritional status, renal and liver function and concomitant illness. Inherited differences in drug metabolism and genetic polymorphism of targets of drug therapy can have even greater influence on the efficacy and toxicity of medications. We will discuss the role of drug transporters (organic anion transporting polypeptides and Pgp), drug-related gene polymorphisms and pathologies, renal function and drug metabolism in a very special patient population, the newborn. Reliable predictions of drug pharmacokinetics in the newborn, derived from an understanding of the transport mechanisms, should allow therapeutic agents to be used more safely in this special population.

Abstract
It has increasingly been recognized that few molecules move across the cell membrane without the assistance of transporter proteins. Large superfamilies of transporter proteins have been identified in every living cell, including microorganisms and mitochondria. This report reviews the role of transporters in physiology and pharmacology, and identifies where this may have an impact on drug efficacy and toxicity. This new understanding will require a fresh appreciation of pharmacokinetics and drug effects, as the current paradigms are based largely on the assumption that drug molecules have a reasonable unrestricted permeability across membranes. Rather than just focusing on clearance changes and central compartment pharmacokinetics, it will become increasingly necessary to examine the peripheral tissue distribution of drugs to more accurately predict drug efficacy and toxicity.
