Maximum likelihood estimation of renal transporter ontogeny profiles for pediatric PBPK modeling. CPT Pharmacometrics Syst Pharmacol 2024; 13:576-588. [PMID: 38156758 PMCID: PMC11015082 DOI: 10.1002/psp4.13102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Optimal treatment of infants with many renally cleared drugs must account for maturational differences in renal transporter (RT) activity. Pediatric physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models may incorporate RT activity, but this requires ontogeny profiles for RT activity in children, especially neonates, to predict drug disposition. Therefore, RT expression measurements from human kidney postmortem cortical tissue samples were normalized to represent a fraction of mature RT activity. Using these data, maximum likelihood estimated the distributions of RT activity across the pediatric age spectrum, including preterm and term neonates. PBPK models of four RT substrates (acyclovir, ciprofloxacin, furosemide, and meropenem) were evaluated with and without ontogeny profiles using average fold error (AFE), absolute average fold error (AAFE), and proportion of observations within the 5-95% prediction interval. Novel maximum likelihood profiles estimated ontogeny distributions for the following RT: OAT1, OAT3, OCT2, P-gp, URAT1, BCRP, MATE1, MRP2, MRP4, and MATE-2 K. Profiles for OAT3, P-gp, and MATE1 improved infant furosemide and neonate meropenem PBPK model AFE from 0.08 to 0.70 and 0.53 to 1.34 and model AAFE from 12.08 to 1.44 and 2.09 to 1.36, respectively, and improved the percent of data within the 5-95% prediction interval from 48% to 98% for neonatal ciprofloxacin simulations, respectively. Even after accounting for other critical population-specific maturational differences, novel RT ontogeny profiles substantially improved neonatal PBPK model performance, providing validated estimates of maturational differences in RT activity for optimal dosing in children.

Effect of probenecid on blood levels and renal elimination of furosemide and endogenous compounds in rats: Discovery of putative organic anion transporter biomarkers.

[PMID: 37866801 PMCID: PMC10900896 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2023.115867] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023]
Abstract
Transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are assessed using probe drugs and in vitro and in vivo models during drug development. The utility of endogenous metabolites as transporter biomarkers is emerging for prediction of DDIs during early phases of clinical trials. Endogenous metabolites such as pyridoxic acid and kynurenic acid have shown potential to predict DDIs mediated by organic anion transporters (OAT1 and OAT3). However, these metabolites have not been assessed in rats as potential transporter biomarkers. We carried out a rat pharmacokinetic DDI study using probenecid and furosemide as OAT inhibitor and substrate, respectively. Probenecid administration led to a 3.8-fold increase in the blood concentrations and a 3-fold decrease in renal clearance of furosemide. High inter-individual and intra-day variability in pyridoxic acid and kynurenic acid, and no or moderate effect of probenecid administration on these metabolites suggest their limited utility for prediction of Oat-mediated DDI in rats. Therefore, rat blood and urine samples were further analysed using untargeted metabolomics. Twenty-one m/z features (out of >8000 detected features) were identified as putative biomarkers of rat Oat1 and Oat3 using a robust biomarker qualification approach. These m/z features belong to metabolic pathways such as fatty acid analogues, peptides, prostaglandin analogues, bile acid derivatives, flavonoids, phytoconstituents, and steroids, and can be used as a panel to decrease variability caused by processes other than Oats. When validated, these putative biomarkers will be useful in predicting DDIs caused by Oats in rats.

Abstract
Transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are of concern in antimicrobial drug development, as they can have serious safety consequences. We used positron emission tomography (PET) imaging-based pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis to assess the effect of different drugs, which may cause transporter-mediated DDIs, on the tissue distribution and excretion of [18F]ciprofloxacin as a radiolabeled model antimicrobial drug. Mice underwent PET scans after intravenous injection of [18F]ciprofloxacin, without and with pretreatment with either probenecid (150 mg/kg), cimetidine (50 mg/kg), or pyrimethamine (5 mg/kg). A 3-compartment kidney PK model was used to assess the involvement of renal transporters in the examined DDIs. Pretreatment with probenecid and cimetidine significantly decreased the renal clearance (CLrenal) of [18F]ciprofloxacin. The effect of cimetidine (-86%) was greater than that of probenecid (-63%), which contrasted with previously published clinical data. The kidney PK model revealed that the decrease in CLrenal was caused by inhibition of basal uptake transporters and apical efflux transporters in kidney proximal tubule cells. Changes in the urinary excretion of [18F]ciprofloxacin after pretreatment with probenecid and cimetidine resulted in increased blood and organ exposure to [18F]ciprofloxacin. Our results suggest that multiple membrane transporters mediate the tubular secretion of ciprofloxacin, with possible species differences between mice and humans. Concomitant medication inhibiting renal transporters may precipitate DDIs, leading to decreased urinary excretion and increased blood and organ exposure to ciprofloxacin, potentially exacerbating adverse effects. Our study highlights the strength of PET imaging-based PK analysis to assess transporter-mediated DDIs at a whole-body level.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The renal excretion of drugs via organic anion transporters 1 and 3 (OAT1/3) is significantly decreased in patients with renal impairment. This study uses physiologically based pharmacokinetic models to quantify the reduction in OAT1/3-mediated secretion of drugs throughout varying stages of chronic kidney disease. METHODS Physiologically based pharmacokinetic models were constructed for four OAT1/3 substrates in healthy individuals: acyclovir, meropenem, furosemide, and ciprofloxacin. Observed data from drug-drug interaction studies with probenecid, a potent OAT1/3 inhibitor, were used to parameterize the contribution of OAT1/3 to the renal elimination of each drug. The models were then translated to patients with chronic kidney disease by accounting for changes in glomerular filtration rate, kidney volume, renal blood flow, plasma protein binding, and hematocrit. Additionally, a relationship was derived between the estimated glomerular filtration rate and the reduction in OAT1/3-mediated secretion of drugs based on the renal extraction ratios of ƿ-aminohippuric acid in patients with varying degrees of renal impairment. The relationship was evaluated in silico by evaluating the predictive performance of each final model in describing the pharmacokinetics (PK) of drugs across stages of chronic kidney disease. RESULTS OAT1/3-mediated renal excretion of drugs was found to be decreased by 27-49%, 50-68%, and 70-96% in stage 3, stage 4, and stage 5 of chronic kidney disease, respectively. In support of the parameterization, physiologically based pharmacokinetic models of four OAT1/3 substrates were able to adequately characterize the PK in patients with different degrees of renal impairment. Total exposure after intravenous administration was predicted within a 1.5-fold error and 85% of the observed data points fell within a 1.5-fold prediction error. The models modestly under-predicted plasma concentrations in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing intermittent hemodialysis. However, results should be interpreted with caution because of the limited number of molecules analyzed and the sparse sampling in observed chronic kidney disease pharmacokinetic studies. CONCLUSIONS A quantitative understanding of the reduction in OAT1/3-mediated excretion of drugs in differing stages of renal impairment will contribute to better predictive accuracy for physiologically based pharmacokinetic models in drug development, assisting with clinical trial planning and potentially sparing this population from unnecessary toxic exposures.

Endogenous Plasma Kynurenic Acid in Human: A Newly Discovered Biomarker for Drug-Drug Interactions Involving Organic Anion Transporter 1 and 3 Inhibition. Drug Metab Dispos 2021; 49:1063-1069. [PMID: 34599018 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.121.000486] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
As an expansion investigation of drug-drug interaction (DDI) from previous clinical trials, additional plasma endogenous metabolites were quantitated in the same subjects to further identify the potential biomarkers of organic anion transporter (OAT) 1/3 inhibition. In the single dose, open label, three-phase with fixed order of treatments study, 14 healthy human volunteers orally received 1000 mg probenecid alone, or 40 mg furosemide alone, or 40 mg furosemide at 1 hour after receiving 1000 mg probenecid on days 1, 8, and 15, respectively. Endogenous metabolites including kynurenic acid, xanthurenic acid, indo-3-acetic acid, pantothenic acid, p-cresol sulfate, and bile acids in the plasma were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The Cmax of kynurenic acids was significantly increased about 3.3- and 3.7-fold over the baseline values at predose followed by the treatment of probenecid alone or in combination with furosemide respectively. In comparison with the furosemide-alone group, the Cmax and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) up to 12 hours of kynurenic acid were significantly increased about 2.4- and 2.5-fold by probenecid alone, and 2.7- and 2.9-fold by probenecid plus furosemide, respectively. The increases in Cmax and AUC of plasma kynurenic acid by probenecid are comparable to the increases of furosemide Cmax and AUC reported previously. Additionally, the plasma concentrations of xanthurenic acid, indo-3-acetic acid, pantothenic acid, and p-cresol sulfate, but not bile acids, were also significantly elevated by probenecid treatments. The magnitude of effect size analysis for known potential endogenous biomarkers demonstrated that kynurenic acid in the plasma offers promise as a superior addition for early DDI assessment involving OAT1/3 inhibition. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This article reports that probenecid, an organic anion transporter (OAT) 1 and OAT3 inhibitor, significantly increased the plasma concentrations of kynurenic acid and several uremic acids in human subjects. Of those, the increases of plasma kynurenic acid exposure are comparable to the increases of furosemide by OAT1/3 inhibition. Effect size analysis for known potential endogenous biomarkers revealed that plasma kynurenic acid is a superior addition for early drug-drug interaction assessment involving OAT1/3 inhibition.

Abstract
Development and guidance of dosing schemes in children have been supported by physiology-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling for many years. PBPK models are built on a generic basis, where compound- and system-specific parameters are separated and can be exchanged, allowing the translation of these models from adults to children by accounting for physiological differences. Owing to these features, PBPK modeling is a valuable approach to support clinical decision making for dosing in children. In this analysis, we evaluate pediatric PBPK models for 10 small-molecule compounds that were applied to support clinical decision processes at Bayer for their predictive power in different age groups. Ratios of PBPK-predicted to observed PK parameters for the evaluated drugs in different pediatric age groups were estimated. Predictive performance was analyzed on the basis of a 2-fold error range and the bioequivalence range (ie, 0.8 ≤ predicted/observed ≤ 1.25). For all 10 compounds, all predicted-to-observed PK ratios were within a 2-fold error range (n = 27), with two-thirds of the ratios within the bioequivalence range (n = 18). The findings demonstrate that the pharmacokinetics of these compounds was successfully and adequately predicted in different pediatric age groups. This illustrates the applicability of PBPK for guiding dosing schemes in the pediatric population.

Abstract
Ciprofloxacin is a commonly prescribed fluoroquinolone antibiotic which is cleared by active tubular secretion and intestinal excretion. Ciprofloxacin is a known substrate of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) and multidrug resistance-associated protein 4 (MRP4). In this work, we used positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to investigate the influence of BCRP, MRP4, MRP2 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) on the excretion of [18F]ciprofloxacin in mice. Dynamic 90-min PET scans were performed after intravenous injection of [18F]ciprofloxacin in wild-type mice without and with pre-treatment with the broad-spectrum MRP inhibitor MK571. Moreover, [18F]ciprofloxacin PET scans were performed in Abcc4(-/-), Abcc2(-/-), Abcc4(-/-)Abcg2(-/-) and Abcb1a/b(-/-)Abcg2(-/-) mice. In addition to non-compartmental pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis, a novel three-compartment PK model was developed for a detailed assessment of the renal disposition of [18F]ciprofloxacin. In MK571 pre-treated mice, a significant increase in the blood exposure to [18F]ciprofloxacin was observed along with a significant reduction in the renal and intestinal clearances. PK modelling revealed a significant reduction in renal radioactivity uptake (CL1) and in the rate constants for transfer of radioactivity from the corticomedullary renal region into blood (k2) and urine (k3), respectively, after MK571 administration. No changes in the renal clearance or in the estimated kidney PK model parameters were observed in any of the studied knockout models, while a significant reduction in the intestinal clearance was observed in Abcc2(-/-) and Abcc4(-/-)Abcg2(-/-) mice. Our data failed to reveal a role of any of the studied ABC transporters in the tubular secretion of ciprofloxacin. This may indicate that ciprofloxacin is handled in the kidneys by more than one transporter family, most likely with a great degree of mutual functional redundancy. Our study highlights the potential of PET imaging for an assessment of transporter-mediated renal excretion of radiolabelled drugs.

Direct infusion nano-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry for therapeutic drug monitoring of ciprofloxacin and its metabolites in human saliva. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2020; 195:113866.

Abstract
A rapid and sensitive method based on direct infusion-nano-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DI-nESI-MS) has been developed for the detection and quantification of ciprofloxacin and its metabolites in human saliva. Saliva samples were collected after the oral administration of 500 mg ciprofloxacin tablets. Internal standard (IS), tamoxifen, was added to the collected samples, and then diluted with the ionization solvent, centrifuged and filtered. An aliquot of 4 μL of the filtrate was loaded into a nanospray (NS) capillary. The NS capillary was then fitted into an off-line ion source and the instrument was operated to acquire a two-minute run by applying a voltage of 1000 V (positive-ion detection mode). Quantification of ciprofloxacin relied on the ratio of its peak intensity to the IS peak intensity. The DI-nESI-MS method was validated and provided satisfactory precision with relative standard deviation ranging from 0.39 to 7.48 % and accuracy with relative error ranging from -2.12 to 9.72 %. The calibration curve showed good linearity (r2) > 0.999 over the concentration range of 10-4000 ng/mL. These results verify the effectiveness of the DI-nESI-MS method for monitoring of ciprofloxacin and its metabolites in human saliva samples.

Abstract
Drug-drug interactions are sometimes considered to be detrimental and responsible for adverse effects. In some cases, however, some are stakeholders of the efficiency of the treatment and this combinatorial strategy is exploited by some drug associations, including levodopa (L-Dopa) and dopadecarboxylase inhibitors, β-lactam antibiotics and clavulanic acid, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and folinic acid, and penicillin and probenecid. More recently, some drug-drug combinations have been integrated in modern drug design strategies, aiming to enhance the efficiency of already marketed drugs with new compounds acting not only as synergistic associations, but also as real boosters of activity. In this review, we provide an update of examples of such strategies, with a special focus on microbiology and oncology.

Improving antibacterial prescribing safety in the management of COPD exacerbations: systematic review of observational and clinical studies on potential drug interactions associated with frequently prescribed antibacterials among COPD patients. J Antimicrob Chemother 2020; 74:2848-2864. [PMID: 31127283 PMCID: PMC6814093 DOI: 10.1093/jac/dkz221] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2018] [Revised: 04/13/2019] [Accepted: 04/26/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Guidelines advise the use of antibacterials (ABs) in the management of COPD exacerbations. COPD patients often have multiple comorbidities, such as diabetes mellitus and cardiac diseases, leading to polypharmacy. Consequently, drug–drug interactions (DDIs) may frequently occur, and may cause serious adverse events and treatment failure. Objectives (i) To review DDIs related to frequently prescribed ABs among COPD patients from observational and clinical studies. (ii) To improve AB prescribing safety in clinical practice by structuring DDIs according to comorbidities of COPD. Methods We conducted a systematic review by searching PubMed and Embase up to 8 February 2018 for clinical trials, cohort and case–control studies reporting DDIs of ABs used for COPD. Study design, subjects, sample size, pharmacological mechanism of DDI and effect of interaction were extracted. We evaluated levels of DDIs and quality of evidence according to established criteria and structured the data by possible comorbidities. Results In all, 318 articles were eligible for review, describing a wide range of drugs used for comorbidities and their potential DDIs with ABs. DDIs between ABs and co-administered drugs could be subdivided into: (i) co-administered drugs altering the pharmacokinetics of ABs; and (ii) ABs interfering with the pharmacokinetics of co-administered drugs. The DDIs could lead to therapeutic failures or toxicities. Conclusions DDIs related to ABs with clinical significance may involve a wide range of indicated drugs to treat comorbidities in COPD. The evidence presented can support (computer-supported) decision-making by health practitioners when prescribing ABs during COPD exacerbations in the case of co-medication.

Evaluation of Renal Anionic Secretion Following Living-donor and Deceased-donor Renal Transplantation: A Clinical Pharmacokinetic Study of Cefoxitin Microdosing. Transplant Direct 2020; 6:e561.

Abstract
Renal transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage renal disease. Because kidneys are the primary excretory organs for various drugs/drug metabolites, changes in renal graft function would significantly alter the clearance and exposure of renally secreted drugs. Renal allografts from living and deceased donors normally undergo numerous insults, including injuries associated with prolonged cold ischemic time, reperfusion, and nephrotoxicity due to calcineurin inhibitors. These physiologic and pharmacologic stresses can alter the expression and functional capacity of renal organic anionic transporters (OATs). Methods The objectives of this study were to assess the longitudinal changes in renal anionic secretion in kidney transplant patients, to study the effect of prolonged cold ischemic time on OAT secretion in kidney transplant patients (living- versus deceased-donor recipients), and to compare OAT secretory capacity of renal transplant recipients with healthy volunteers. Cefoxitin was used as a probe drug to assess OAT secretion. Cefoxitin pharmacokinetics was studied in 15 de novo renal transplant recipients following intravenous administration of 200 mg cefoxitin within 14 d and beyond 90 d posttransplantation. Results No longitudinal changes in real OAT secretion in early posttransplant period were observed, and there were no differences in renal OAT secretion between living- and deceased-donor renal transplant recipients. Overall, cefoxitin exposure was 2.6-fold higher and half-life increased by 2.2-fold in renal transplant recipients when compared with historical healthy controls. Conclusions These results suggest that OAT system is functioning well, but renal transplant recipients would need significantly lower dosage of drugs that are primarily secreted via the OAT system compared with normal subjects.

Abstract
Background Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling has received growing interest as a useful tool for the assessment of drug pharmacokinetics by continuous knowledge integration. Objective The objective of this study was to build a ciprofloxacin PBPK model for intravenous and oral dosing based on a comprehensive literature review, and evaluate the predictive performance towards pediatric and geriatric patients. Methods The aim of this report was to establish confidence in simulations of the ciprofloxacin PBPK model along the development process to facilitate reliable predictions outside of the tested adult age range towards the extremes of ages. Therefore, mean data of 69 published clinical trials were identified and integrated into the model building, simulation and verification process. The predictive performance on both ends of the age scale was assessed using individual data of 258 subjects observed in own clinical trials. Results Ciprofloxacin model verification demonstrated no concentration-related bias and accurate simulations for the adult age range, with only 4.8% of the mean observed data points for intravenous administration and 12.1% for oral administration being outside the simulated twofold range. Predictions towards the extremes of ages for the area under the plasma concentration–time curve (AUC) and the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) over the entire span of life revealed a reliable estimation, with only two pediatric AUC observations outside the 90% prediction interval. Conclusion Overall, this ciprofloxacin PBPK modeling approach demonstrated the predictive power of a thoroughly informed middle-out approach towards age groups of interest to potentially support the decision-making process.

Abstract
The kidney plays an important role in maintaining total body homeostasis and eliminating toxic xenobiotics and metabolites. Numerous drugs and their metabolites are ultimately eliminated in the urine. The reabsorption and secretion functions of the nephron are mediated by a variety of transporters located in the basolateral and luminal membranes of the tubular cells. In the past decade, many studies indicated that transporters play important roles in drug pharmacokinetics and demonstrated the impact of renal transporters on the disposition of drugs, drug-drug interactions, and nephrotoxicities. Here, we focus on several important renal transporters and their roles in drug elimination and disposition, drug-induced nephrotoxicities and potential clinical solutions.

Eur J Pharm Sci 2018; 128:171-179.

Abstract
In a recent multicenter population pharmacokinetic study of ciprofloxacin administered to children suffering from complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI), the apparent volume of distribution (V) and total plasma clearance (CL) were decreased by 83.6% and 41.5% respectively, compared to healthy children. To understand these differences, a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model (PBPK) for ciprofloxacin was developed for cUTI children. First, a PBPK model in adults was developed, modified incorporating age-dependent functions and evaluated with paediatric data generated from a published model in healthy children. Then, the model was then adapted to a cUTI paediatric population according to the degree of renal impairment (KF) affecting renal clearance (CLRenal,) and CYP1A2 clearance (CLCYP1A2). Serum and urine samples obtained from 22 cUTI children were used for model evaluation. Lastly, a parameter sensitivity analysis identified the most influential parameters on V and CL. The PBPK model predicted the ciprofloxacin exposure in adults and children, capturing age-related pharmacokinetic changes. Plasma concentrations and fraction excreted unchanged in urine (fe) predictions improved in paediatric cUTI patients once CLrenal and CLCYP1A2 were corrected by KF. The presented PBPK model for ciprofloxacin demonstrates its adequacy to simulate different dosing scenarios to obtain PK predictions in a healthy population from 3 months old onwards. Model adaptation of CLRenal and CLCYP1A2 according to KF explained partially the differences seen in the plasma drug concentrations and fe vs time profiles between healthy and cUTI children. Nevertheless, it is necessary to further investigate the disease-related changes in cUTI to improve model predictions.

Evidence for the Validity of Pyridoxic Acid (PDA) as a Plasma-Based Endogenous Probe for OAT1 and OAT3 Function in Healthy Subjects. J Pharmacol Exp Ther 2018; 368:136-145. [PMID: 30361237 DOI: 10.1124/jpet.118.252643] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2018] [Accepted: 10/23/2018] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Plasma pyridoxic acid (PDA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) were recently identified as novel endogenous biomarkers of organic anion transporter (OAT) 1/3 function in monkeys. Consequently, this clinical study assessed the dynamic changes and utility of plasma PDA and HVA as an initial evaluation of OAT1/3 inhibition in early-phase drug development. The study was designed as a single-dose randomized, three-phase, crossover study; 14 Indian healthy volunteers received probenecid (PROB) (1000 mg orally) alone, furosemide (FSM) (40 mg orally) alone, or FSM 1 hour after receiving PROB (40 and 1000 mg orally) on days 1, 8, and 15, respectively. PDA and HVA plasma concentrations remained stable over time in the prestudy and FSM groups. Administration of PROB significantly increased the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of PDA by 3.1-fold (dosed alone; P < 0.05), and 3.2-fold (coadministered with FSM; P < 0.01), compared with the prestudy and FSM groups, respectively. The corresponding increase in HVA AUC was 1.8-fold (P > 0.05) and 2.1-fold (P < 0.05), respectively. The increases in PDA AUC are similar to those in FSM AUC, whereas those of HVA are smaller (3.1-3.2 and 1.8-2.1 vs. 3.3, respectively). PDA and HVA renal clearance (CL R) values were decreased by PROB to smaller extents compared with FSM (0.35-0.37 and 0.67-0.73 vs. 0.23, respectively). These data demonstrate that plasma PDA is a promising endogenous biomarker for OAT1/3 function and that its plasma exposure responds in a similar fashion to FSM upon OAT1/3 inhibition by PROB. The magnitude and variability of response in PDA AUC and CL R values between subjects is more favorable relative to HVA.

Abstract
Transporters in proximal renal tubules contribute to the disposition of numerous drugs. Furthermore, the molecular mechanisms of tubular secretion have been progressively elucidated during the past decades. Organic anions tend to be secreted by the transport proteins OAT1, OAT3 and OATP4C1 on the basolateral side of tubular cells, and multidrug resistance protein (MRP) 2, MRP4, OATP1A2 and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) on the apical side. Organic cations are secreted by organic cation transporter (OCT) 2 on the basolateral side, and multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) proteins MATE1, MATE2/2-K, P-glycoprotein, organic cation and carnitine transporter (OCTN) 1 and OCTN2 on the apical side. Significant drug-drug interactions (DDIs) may affect any of these transporters, altering the clearance and, consequently, the efficacy and/or toxicity of substrate drugs. Interactions at the level of basolateral transporters typically decrease the clearance of the victim drug, causing higher systemic exposure. Interactions at the apical level can also lower drug clearance, but may be associated with higher renal toxicity, due to intracellular accumulation. Whereas the importance of glomerular filtration in drug disposition is largely appreciated among clinicians, DDIs involving renal transporters are less well recognized. This review summarizes current knowledge on the roles, quantitative importance and clinical relevance of these transporters in drug therapy. It proposes an approach based on substrate-inhibitor associations for predicting potential tubular-based DDIs and preventing their adverse consequences. We provide a comprehensive list of known drug interactions with renally-expressed transporters. While many of these interactions have limited clinical consequences, some involving high-risk drugs (e.g. methotrexate) definitely deserve the attention of prescribers.

Prediction of renal transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions for a drug which is an OAT substrate and inhibitor using PBPK modelling. Eur J Pharm Sci 2017; 106:122-132.

Abstract
A PBPK modelling approach was used to predict organic anion transporter (OAT) mediated drug-drug interactions involving S44121, a substrate and an inhibitor of OAT1 and OAT3. Model predictions were then compared to the results of a clinical DDI study which was carried out to investigate the interaction of S44121 with probenecid, tenofovir and ciprofloxacin. PBPK models were developed and qualified using existing clinical data, and inhibition constants were determined in vitro. The model predictions for S44121 as an OAT inhibitor were similar to the results obtained from the clinical DDI study, with no interaction observed for tenofovir or ciprofloxacin in the presence of S44121. An observed AUC ratio of 2.2 was obtained for S44121 in the presence of probenecid, which was slightly higher than the model predicted AUC ratio of 1.6. A DDI study in the monkey was also carried out for the interaction between S44121 and probenecid, since the monkey has previously been reported to be a good preclinical model for OAT-mediated DDI. However, this study highlighted a species difference in the major route of S44121 elimination between monkey (mainly hepatic metabolism) and human (mainly renal excretion of unchanged drug), rendering a comparison between the two DDI studies difficult. Overall, for S44121 the PBPK modelling approach gave a better prediction of the extent of DDI than the static predictions based on inhibitor Cmax and IC50, therefore this can be considered a potentially valuable tool within drug development.

Abstract
Opioid-related deaths, abuse, and drug interactions are growing epidemic problems that have medical, social, and economic implications. Drug transporters play a major role in the disposition of many drugs, including opioids; hence they can modulate their pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and their associated drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Our understanding of the interaction of transporters with many therapeutic agents is improving; however, investigating such interactions with opioids is progressing relatively slowly despite the alarming number of opioids-mediated DDIs that may be related to transporters. This review presents a comprehensive report of the current literature relating to opioids and their drug transporter interactions. Additionally, it highlights the emergence of transporters that are yet to be fully identified but may play prominent roles in the disposition of opioids, the growing interest in transporter genomics for opioids, and the potential implications of opioid-drug transporter interactions for cancer treatments. A better understanding of drug transporters interactions with opioids will provide greater insight into potential clinical DDIs and could help improve opioids safety and efficacy.

Abstract
Experience in clinical practice and research in systems pharmacology suggested the limitations of the current one-drug-one-target paradigm in new drug discovery. Single-target drugs may not always produce desired physiological effects on the entire biological system, even if they have successfully regulated the activities of their designated targets. On the other hand, multicomponent therapy, in which two or more agents simultaneously interact with multiple targets, has attracted growing attention. Many drug combinations consisting of multiple agents have already entered clinical practice, especially in treating complex and refractory diseases. Drug combination database (DCDB), launched in 2010, is the first available database that collects and organizes information on drug combinations, with an aim to facilitate systems-oriented new drug discovery. Here, we report the second major release of DCDB (Version 2.0), which includes 866 new drug combinations (1363 in total), consisting of 904 distinctive components. These drug combinations are curated from ∼140,000 clinical studies and the food and drug administration (FDA) electronic orange book. In this update, DCDB collects 237 unsuccessful drug combinations, which may provide a contrast for systematic discovery of the patterns in successful drug combinations.

Abstract
Vector-borne diseases such as dengue fever and malaria, which are transmitted by infected female mosquitoes, affect nearly half of the world's population. The emergence of insecticide-resistant mosquito populations is reducing the effectiveness of conventional insecticides and threatening current vector control strategies, which has created an urgent need to identify new molecular targets against which novel classes of insecticides can be developed. We previously demonstrated that small molecule inhibitors of mammalian Kir channels represent promising chemicals for new mosquitocide development. In this study, high-throughput screening of approximately 30,000 chemically diverse small-molecules was employed to discover potent and selective inhibitors of Aedes aegypti Kir1 (AeKir1) channels heterologously expressed in HEK293 cells. Of 283 confirmed screening ‘hits’, the small-molecule inhibitor VU625 was selected for lead optimization and in vivo studies based on its potency and selectivity toward AeKir1, and tractability for medicinal chemistry. In patch clamp electrophysiology experiments of HEK293 cells, VU625 inhibits AeKir1 with an IC50 value of 96.8 nM, making VU625 the most potent inhibitor of AeKir1 described to date. Furthermore, electrophysiology experiments in Xenopus oocytes revealed that VU625 is a weak inhibitor of AeKir2B. Surprisingly, injection of VU625 failed to elicit significant effects on mosquito behavior, urine excretion, or survival. However, when co-injected with probenecid, VU625 inhibited the excretory capacity of mosquitoes and was toxic, suggesting that the compound is a substrate of organic anion and/or ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. The dose-toxicity relationship of VU625 (when co-injected with probenecid) is biphasic, which is consistent with the molecule inhibiting both AeKir1 and AeKir2B with different potencies. This study demonstrates proof-of-concept that potent and highly selective inhibitors of mosquito Kir channels can be developed using conventional drug discovery approaches. Furthermore, it reinforces the notion that the physical and chemical properties that determine a compound's bioavailability in vivo will be critical in determining the efficacy of Kir channel inhibitors as insecticides.

Abstract
Organic anion transporter 3 (OAT3, SLC22A8), a transporter expressed on the basolateral membrane of the proximal tubule, plays a critical role in the renal excretion of organic anions including many therapeutic drugs. The goal of this study was to evaluate the in vivo effects of the OAT3-Ile305Phe variant (rs11568482), present at 3.5% allele frequency in Asians, on drug disposition with a focus on cefotaxime, a cephalosporin antibiotic. In HEK293-Flp-In cells, the OAT3-Ile305Phe variant had a lower maximum cefotaxime transport activity, Vmax , [159 ± 3 nmol*(mg protein)(-1) /min (mean ± SD)] compared with the reference OAT3 [305 ± 28 nmol*(mg protein)(-1) /min, (mean ± SD), p < 0.01], whereas the Michaelis-Menten constant values (Km ) did not differ. In healthy volunteers, we found volunteers that were heterozygous for the Ile305Phe variant and had a significantly lower cefotaxime renal clearance (CLR ; mean ± SD: 84.8 ± 32.1 mL/min, n = 5) compared with volunteers that were homozygous for the reference allele (158 ± 44.1 mL/min, n = 10; p = 0.006). Furthermore, the net secretory component of cefotaxime renal clearance (CLsec ) was reduced in volunteers heterozygous for the variant allele [33.3 ± 31.8 mL/min (mean ± SD)] compared with volunteers homozygous for the OAT3 reference allele [97.0 ± 42.2 mL/min (mean ± SD), p = 0.01]. In summary, our study suggests that a low-frequency reduced-function polymorphism of OAT3 associates with reduced cefotaxime CLR and CL(sec) .

Abstract
When herbal products are used in combination therapy with drugs, alterations in pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and toxicity can result. Many active components of herbal products are organic anions, and human organic anion transporter 1 (hOAT1, SLC22A6), hOAT3 (SLC22A8), and hOAT4 (SLC22A11) have been identified as potential sites of drug-drug interactions. Therefore, we assessed the effects of lithospermic acid (LSA), rosmarinic acid (RMA), salvianolic acid A (SAA), salvianolic acid B (SAB), and tanshinol (TSL), components of the herbal medicine Danshen, on the function of these transporters. Kinetic analysis demonstrated a competitive mechanism of inhibition for all five. K(i) values (µM) were estimated as 20.8 ± 2.1 (LSA), 0.35 ± 0.06 (RMA), 5.6 ± 0.3 (SAA), 22.2 ± 1.9 (SAB), and 40.4 ± 12.9 (TSL) on hOAT1 and as 0.59 ± 0.26 (LSA), 0.55 ± 0.25 (RMA), 0.16 ± 0.03 (SAA), 19.8 ± 8.4 (SAB), and 8.6 ± 3.3 (TSL) on hOAT3. No significant inhibition of hOAT4 activity by TSL was observed. Using published human pharmacokinetic values, unbound C(max)/K(i) ratios were calculated as an indicator of in vivo drug-drug interaction potential. Analysis indicated a strong interaction potential for RMA and TSL on both hOAT1 and hOAT3 and for LSA on hOAT3. Thus, herb-drug interactions may occur in vivo in situations of co-administration of Danshen and clinical therapeutics known to be hOAT1/hOAT3 substrates.

Abstract
Organic solute flux across the basolateral and apical membranes of renal proximal tubule cells is a key process for maintaining systemic homeostasis. It represents an important route for the elimination of metabolic waste products and xenobiotics, as well as for the reclamation of essential compounds. Members of the organic anion transporter (OAT, SLC22) family expressed in proximal tubules comprise one pathway mediating the active renal secretion and reabsorption of organic anions. Many drugs, pesticides, hormones, heavy metal conjugates, components of phytomedicines, and toxins are OAT substrates. Thus, through transporter activity, the kidney can be a target organ for their beneficial or detrimental effects. Detailed knowledge of the OATs expressed in the kidney, their membrane targeting, substrate specificity, and mechanisms of action is essential to understanding organ function and dysfunction. The intracellular processes controlling OAT expression and function, and that can thus modulate kidney transport capacity, are also critical to this understanding. Such knowledge is also providing insight to new areas such as renal transplant research. This review will provide an overview of the OATs for which transport activity has been demonstrated and expression/function in the kidney observed. Examples establishing a role for renal OATs in drug clearance, food/drug-drug interactions, and renal injury and pathology are presented. An update of the current information regarding the regulation of OAT expression is also provided.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Fluoroquinolones (FQs) exist as charged molecules in blood and urine making their absorption, distribution, and elimination likely to be influenced by active transport mechanisms. Greater understanding of in vivo FQ clearance mechanisms should help improve the predictability of drug-drug interactions, enhance the clinical safety and efficacy, and aid future novel drug design strategies. AREAS COVERED The authors present an overview of FQ development and associated drug-drug interactions, followed by systematic quantitative review of the physicochemical and in vivo pharmacokinetic properties for 15 representative FQs using historical clinical literature. These results were correlated with in vitro studies implicating drug transporters in FQ clearance to link clinical and in vitro evidence supporting the contribution of drug transport mechanisms to FQ disposition. Specific transporters likely to handle FQs in human renal proximal tubule cells are also identified. EXPERT OPINION Renal handling, that is, tubular secretion and reabsorption, appears to be the main determinant of FQ plasma half-life, clinical duration of action, and drug-drug interactions. Due to their zwitterionic nature, FQs are likely to interact with organic anion and cation transporters within the solute carrier (SLC) superfamily, including OAT1, OAT3, OCT2, OCTN1, OCTN2, MATE1, and MATE2. The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters MDR1, MRP2, MRP4, and BCRP also may interact with FQs.

Abstract
Like any other drug, antimicrobial drugs are prone to pharmacokinetic drug interactions. These drug interactions are a major concern in clinical practice as they may have an effect on efficacy and toxicity. This article provides an overview of all published pharmacokinetic studies on drug interactions of the commonly prescribed antimicrobial drugs oxazolidinones, rifamycines, macrolides, fluoroquinolones, and beta-lactams, focusing on systematic research. We describe drug-food and drug-drug interaction studies in humans, affecting antimicrobial drugs as well as concomitantly administered drugs. Since knowledge about mechanisms is of paramount importance for adequate management of drug interactions, the most plausible underlying mechanism of the drug interaction is provided when available. This overview can be used in daily practice to support the management of pharmacokinetic drug interactions of antimicrobial drugs.

Abstract
Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are major causes of serious adverse drug reactions. Most DDIs have a pharmacokinetic basis in which one drug reduces the elimination of a second drug, leading to potentially toxic drug levels. As a major organ of drug elimination, the kidney represents an important site for DDIs. Here, we screened a prescription drug library against the renal organic cation transporter OCT2/SLC22A2, which mediates the first step in the renal secretion of many cationic drugs. Of the 910 compounds screened, 244 inhibited OCT2. Computational analyses revealed key properties of inhibitors versus noninhibitors, which included overall molecular charge. Four of six potential clinical inhibitors were transporter-selective in follow-up screens against additional transporters: OCT1/SLC22A1, MATE1/SLC47A1, and MATE2-K/SLC47A2. Two compounds showed different kinetics of interaction with the common polymorphism OCT2-A270S, suggesting a role of genetics in modulating renal DDIs.

Abstract
AIMS Probenecid influences transport processes of drugs at several sites in the body and decreases elimination of several quinolones. We sought to explore extent, time course, and mechanism of the interaction between ciprofloxacin and probenecid at renal and nonrenal sites. METHODS A randomized, two-way crossover study was conducted in 12 healthy volunteers (in part previously published Clin Pharmacol Ther 1995; 58: 532-41). Subjects received 200 mg ciprofloxacin as 30-min intravenous infusion without and with 3 g probenecid divided into five oral doses. Drug concentrations were analysed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography. Ciprofloxacin and its 2-aminoethylamino-metabolite (M1) in plasma and urine with and without probenecid were modelled simultaneously with WinNonlin. RESULTS Data are ratio of geometric means (90% confidence intervals). Addition of probenecid reduced the median renal clearance from 23.8 to 8.25 l h(-1)[65% reduction (59, 71), P < 0.01] for ciprofloxacin and from 20.5 to 8.26 l h(-1) (66% reduction (57, 73), P < 0.01] for M1 (estimated by modelling). Probenecid reduced ciprofloxacin nonrenal clearance by 8% (1, 14) (P < 0.08). Pharmacokinetic modelling indicated competitive inhibition of the renal tubular secretion of ciprofloxacin and M1 by probenecid. The affinity for the renal transporter was 4.4 times higher for ciprofloxacin and 3.6 times higher for M1 than for probenecid, based on the molar ratio. Probenecid did not affect volume of distribution of ciprofloxacin or M1, nonrenal clearance or intercompartmental clearance of ciprofloxacin. CONCLUSIONS Probenecid inhibited the renal tubular secretion of ciprofloxacin and M1, probably by a competitive mechanism and due to reaching >100-fold higher plasma concentrations. Formation of M1, nonrenal clearance and distribution of ciprofloxacin were not affected.

Abstract
In the present review we have attempted to assess the involvement of the organic anion transporters OAT1, OAT2, OAT3, and OAT4, belonging to the SLC22 family of polyspecific carriers, in drug-induced renal damage in humans. We have focused on drugs with widely recognized nephrotoxic potential, which have previously been reported to interact with OAT family members, and whose underlying pathogenic mechanism suggests the participation of tubular transport. Thus, only compounds generally believed to cause kidney injury either by means of direct tubular toxicity or crystal nephropathy have been considered. For each drug, or class of agents, the evidence for actual transport mediated by individual OATs under in vivo conditions is discussed. We have then examined their role in the context of other carriers present in the renal proximal tubule sharing certain substrates with OATs, as these are critical determinants of the overall contribution of OAT-dependent transport to intracellular accumulation and transepithelial drug secretion, and thus the impact it may have in drug-induced nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Probenecid interacts with transport processes of drugs at several sites in the body. For most quinolones, renal clearance is reduced by concomitant administration of probenecid. The interaction between gemifloxacin and probenecid has not yet been studied. We studied the extent, time course, site(s), and mechanism of this interaction. Seventeen healthy volunteers participated in a randomized, two-way crossover study. Subjects received 320 mg gemifloxacin as an oral tablet without and with 4.5 g probenecid divided in eight oral doses. Drug concentrations in plasma and urine were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. WinNonlin was used for noncompartmental analysis, compartmental modeling, and statistics, and NONMEM was used for visual predictive checks. Concomitant administration of probenecid increased plasma gemifloxacin concentrations and amounts excreted in urine compared to baseline amounts. Data are average estimates (percent coefficients of variation). Modeling showed a competitive inhibition of the renal tubular secretion of gemifloxacin by probenecid as the most likely mechanism of the interaction. The estimated K(m) and Vmax for the saturable part of renal elimination were 9.16 mg/liter (20%) and 113 mg/h (21%), respectively. Based on the molar ratio, the affinity for the renal transporter was 10-fold higher for gemifloxacin than for probenecid. Since probenecid reached an approximately 200-times-higher area under the molar concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h than gemifloxacin, probenecid inhibited the active tubular secretion of gemifloxacin. Probenecid also reduced the nonrenal clearance of gemifloxacin from 25.2 (26%) to 21.0 (23%) liters/h. Probenecid inhibited the renal tubular secretion of gemifloxacin, most likely by a competitive mechanism, and slightly decreased nonrenal clearance of gemifloxacin.

Abstract
Recently, drug transporters have emerged as significant modifiers of a patient's pharmacokinetics. In cases where the functioning of drug transporters is altered, such as by drug-drug interactions, by genetic polymorphisms, or as evidenced in knockout animals, the resulting change in volume of distribution can lead to a significant change in drug effect or likelihood of toxicity, as well as a change in half life independent of a change in clearance. Here, we review pharmacokinetic interactions at the transporter level that have been investigated in animals and humans and reported in literature, with a focus on the changes in distribution volume. We pay particular attention to the differing effects of changes in transporter function on the three measures of volume. Further, trends are discussed as they may be used to predict volume changes given the function of a transporter and the primary location of the interaction. Because the liver and kidneys express the greatest level and variety of transporters, we denote these organs as the primary location of transporter-based interactions. We conclude that the liver is a larger contributor to distribution volume than the kidneys, in consideration of both uptake and efflux transporters. Further, while altered distribution due to secondary interactions at tissues other than the liver and kidneys may have a pharmacodynamic effect, these interactions, at least at the blood-brain barrier, do not appear to significantly influence overall distribution volume. The analysis provides a framework for understanding potential pharmacokinetic interactions rooted in drug transporters as they modify drug distribution.

Abstract
Carboxyfluoroquinolones, such as ciprofloxacin, are used for the treatment of numerous infectious diseases. Renal secretion is a major determinant of their systemic and urinary concentration, but the specific transporters involved are virtually unknown. In vivo studies implicate the organic anion transporter (OAT) family as a pivotal component of carboxyfluoroquinolone renal secretion. Therefore, this study identified the specific renal basolateral OAT(s) involved, thereby highlighting potential sources of carboxyfluoroquinolone-drug interactions and variable efficacy. Two heterologous expression systems, Xenopus laevis oocytes and cell monolayers, were used to determine the roles of murine and human renal basolateral mOat1/hOAT1 and mOat3/hOAT3. Ciprofloxacin was transported by mOat3 in both systems (K(m) value, 70 +/- 6 microM) and demonstrated no interaction with mOat1 or hOAT1. Furthermore, ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin, and gatifloxacin exhibited concentration-dependent inhibition of transport on mOat3 in cells with inhibition constants of 198 +/- 39, 558 +/- 75, 745 +/- 165, and 941 +/- 232 microM, respectively. Ciprofloxacin and gatifloxacin also inhibited hOAT3. Thereafter, in vivo elimination of ciprofloxacin was assessed in wild-type and Oat3 null mice [Oat3-/-]. Oat3-/- mice exhibited significantly elevated plasma levels of ciprofloxacin at clinically relevant concentrations (P < 0.05, male mice; P < 0.01, female mice). Oat3-/- mice also demonstrated a reduced volume of distribution (27%, P < 0.01, male mice; 14%, P < 0.01, female mice) and increased area under the concentration-time curve (25%, P < 0.05, male mice; 33%, P < 0.01, female mice). Female Oat3-/- mice had a 35% (P < 0.01) reduction in total clearance of ciprofloxacin relative to wild type. In addition, putative ciprofloxacin metabolites were significantly elevated in Oat3-/- mice. The present findings indicate that polymorphisms of and drug interactions on hOAT3 may influence carboxyfluoroquinolone efficacy, especially in urinary tract infections.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolones are effective antibiotics for the treatment of bile duct infections. It has been shown that the biliary excretion of grepafloxacin is partly accounted for by multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2/ABCC2), whereas neither MRP2 nor P-glycoprotein is involved in the biliary excretion of ulifloxacin. In the present study, we examined the involvement of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2) in the biliary excretion of fluoroquinolones (grepafloxacin, ulifloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and ofloxacin). In Madin-Darby canine kidney II cells expressing human BCRP or mouse Bcrp, the basal-to-apical transport of grepafloxacin and ulifloxacin was greater than that of the mock control, which was inhibited by a BCRP inhibitor, 3-(6-isobutyl-9-methoxy-1,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4,6,7,12,12a-octahydropyrazino[1',2':1,6]pyrido[3,4-b]indol-3-yl)-propionic acid tert-butyl ester (Ko143). Plasma and bile concentrations of fluoroquinolones were determined in wild-type and Bcrp(-/-) mice after i.v. bolus injection. The cumulative biliary excretion of fluoroquinolones was significantly reduced in Bcrp(-/-) mice, resulting in a reduction of the biliary excretion clearances to 86, 50, 40, and 16 of the control values, for ciprofloxacin, grepafloxacin, ofloxacin, and ulifloxacin, respectively. Preinfusion of sulfobromophthalein significantly inhibited the biliary excretion of grepafloxacin in Bcrp(-/-) mice. There was no change in the tissue/plasma concentration ratios of fluoroquinolones in the liver or brain, whereas those in the kidney were increased 3.6- and 1.5-fold for ciprofloxacin and grepafloxacin, respectively, in Bcrp(-/-) mice but were unchanged for ofloxacin and ulifloxacin. The present study shows that BCRP mediates the biliary excretion of fluoroquinolones and suggests that it is also involved in the tubular secretion of ciprofloxacin and grepafloxacin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize the effects of oral administration of a high dose of enrofloxacin to cats. ANIMALS 24 (12 male and 12 female) young healthy cats. PROCEDURES Cats were allocated on the basis of sex into 2 groups (4 males and 4 females/ group) from which 3 subgroups for 3 durations (3, 5, or 7 days) of enrofloxacin (50 mg/kg, PO, q 24 h) or control solution (1 mL of water, PO, q 24 h) administration that began on day -1 were created. Funduscopic examinations were performed daily. Electroretinography (ERG) was performed before and every 2 to 3 days after the start of oral administration. Four cats/study group were euthanized on days 3, 5, and 7, and eyes were collected for light and electron microscopic evaluations. RESULTS Neurologic, funduscopic, and ERG abnormalities were evident only in cats administered enrofloxacin. Funduscopic changes (granular appearance or graying of the area centralis) were noticed on or before day 3 (after only 3 days of enrofloxacin administration), with subsequent similar changes along the visual streak. Vascular attenuation (between days 2 and 4) and generalized tapetal hyperreflectivity (between days 5 and 7) followed. Reduction in b-wave ERG amplitude preceded funduscopic changes. Morphologic changes in the photoreceptor layers correlated with duration of enrofloxacin administration, with generalized degenerative changes evident after 3 doses. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE The study indicated that a high dose of enrofloxacin (50 mg/kg/d, PO) induced retinal and systemic changes. Enrofloxacin at 10 times the recommended dosage is acutely toxic to the outer retina of clinically normal cats.

Abstract
The kidneys play a critical role in the elimination of xenobiotics. Factors affecting the ability of the kidney to eliminate drugs may result in marked changes in the pharmacokinetics of a given compound. Drug-drug interactions due to competitive inhibition of renal organic anion or cation secretion systems have been noticed clinically for a long time. However, our understanding of the physical sites of interactions, that is, the specific transport proteins that the interacting drugs act on, has just begun very recently. This review summarises the latest progress in molecular identification and functional characterisation of major drug transporters in the human kidney. In particular, the review focuses on relating cloned renal drug transporters to clinically observed drug-drug interactions. The authors' opinion on the current status and future directions of research in these areas is also offered.

Abstract
The kidney plays an important role in the elimination of numerous hydrophilic xenobiotics, including drugs, toxins, and endogenous compounds. It has developed high-capacity transport systems to prevent urinary loss of filtered nutrients, as well as electrolytes, and simultaneously to facilitate tubular secretion of a wide range of organic ions. Transport systems for organic anions and cations are primarily involved in the secretion of drugs in renal tubules. The identification and characterization of organic anion and cation transporters have been progressing at the molecular level. To date, many members of the organic anion transporter, organic cation transporter, and organic anion-transporting polypeptide families have been found to mediate the transport of diverse organic ions. It has also been suggested that ATP-dependent primary active transporters such as MDR1/P-glycoprotein and the multidrug resistance-associated protein family function as efflux pumps of renal tubular cells for more hydrophobic molecules and anionic conjugates. Tubular reabsorption of peptide-like drugs such as beta-lactam antibiotics across the brush-border membranes appears to be mediated by two distinct H+/peptide cotransporters: PEPT1 and PEPT2. Renal disposition of drugs occurs through interaction with these diverse secretory and absorptive transporters in renal tubules. Studies of the functional characteristics, such as substrate specificity and transport mechanisms, and of the localization of drug transporters could provide information regarding the cellular network involved in renal handling of drugs. Detailed information concerning molecular and cellular aspects of drug transporters expressed in the kidney has facilitated studies of the mechanisms underlying renal disposition as well as transporter-mediated drug interactions.

Abstract
A clinical drug-drug interaction between famotidine (a H2 receptor antagonist) and probenecid has not been reproduced in rats. The present study hypothesized that the species-dependent probenecid sensitivity is due to a species difference in the contribution of renal organic anion and cation transporters. The transport activities of the H2 receptor antagonists (cimetidine, famotidine, and ranitidine) by rat and human basolateral organic anion and cation transporters [human organic anion transporter (hOAT) 1, hOAT2, r/hOAT3, rat organic cation transporter (rOct) 1, and r/hOCT2] were compared using their cDNA transfectants. The transport activities (Vmax/Km) of famotidine (Km, 345 microM) by rOat3 were 8- and 15-fold lower than those of cimetidine (Km, 91 microM) and ranitidine (Km, 155 microM), respectively, whereas the activity by hOAT3 (Km, 124 microM) was 3-fold lower than that of cimetidine (Km, 149 microM) but similar to that of ranitidine (Km, 234 microM). Comparison of the relative transport activity with regard to that of cimetidine suggests that famotidine was more efficiently transported by hOAT3 than rOat3, and vice versa, for ranitidine. Only ranitidine was efficiently transported by hOAT2 (Km, 396 microM). rOct1 accepts all of the H2 receptor antagonists with a similar activity, whereas the transport activities of ranitidine and famotidine (Km, 61/56 microM) by r/hOCT2 were markedly lower than that of cimetidine (Km, 69/73 microM). Probenecid was a potent inhibitor of r/OAT3 (Ki, 2.6-5.8 microM), whereas it did not interact with OCTs. These results suggest that, in addition to the absence of OCT1 in human kidney, a species difference in the transport activity by hOAT3 and rOat3 accounts, at least in part, for the species difference in the drug-drug interaction between famotidine and probenecid.

Abstract
PURPOSE Our previous studies have shown that both stevioside and steviol inhibited transepithelial transport of para-aminohippurate (PAH) in isolated rabbit renal proximal tubules by interfering with organic anion transport system. The current study examined the direct interactions of stevioside and steviol with specific organic anion transporters. METHODS S2 cells expressing human organic anion transporters (hOAT1, hOAT2, hOAT3, and hOAT4) and an intact renal epithelium were used to determine the inhibitory effect of stevioside and steviol on organic anion transport. RESULTS Stevioside at 0.5-1 mM showed no interaction with any OAT. In contrast, steviol markedly inhibited substrate uptake in all S2hOAT cells. Steviol had low IC50 for hOAT1 (11.4 microM) and hOAT3 (36.5 microM) similar to that of probenecid, whereas IC50 for hOAT2 (1000 microM) and hOAT4 (285 microM) was much higher. Results obtained in mouse renal cortical slices were very similar; that is, stevioside was without inhibitory effect and steviol was a potent inhibitor of PAH and estrone sulfate (ES) transport. CONCLUSIONS Stevioside has no interaction with human or mouse OATs. In contrast, steviol interacts directly with human OATs, in particular, hOAT1 and hOAT3, with a potency approximating probenecid, suggesting that the inhibition of OAT-mediated transport by steviol could alter renal drug clearance.

Abstract
The oral pharmacokinetics of ciprofloxacin were studied in healthy volunteers to assess the influence of sex on its disposition. Subjects (8 males, 7 females) received a single oral dose of ciprofloxacin 750 mg, blood and urine samples were collected, and ciprofloxacin concentrations were determined. A two-compartment open-model with two or three absorption phases, each one having a fitted independent lag time, best fit the data using a weighted least squares estimator. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to determine the influence of renal function, weight, and subject sex on the oral clearance (CL(S)/F) and apparent steady-state volume of distribution (V(ss)/F) of ciprofloxacin. Females had a median C(max) of ciprofloxacin that was 30% greater than males and a significantly smaller median (range) V(ss)/F: 81.1 (44.8-111.6) versus 170.9 (140.9-213.4), respectively (p < 0.01). In addition, females had increased exposure to ciprofloxacin, with a slower median (range) CL(S)/F of 28.3 L/h (24.5-33.4) compared to 44.4 L/h (41.4-53.7) for males (p < 0.01). Regression analyses revealed that subject sex was the only significant predictor of CL(S)/F (p < 0.001), but both body weight (p = 0.04) and subject sex (p < 0.005) were significant predictors of V(ss)/F. Fixed oral doses of ciprofloxacin will lead to higher maximum concentration and total drug exposure in females compared to males and do not appear to be solely related to weight-based differences.

Abstract
Drug transporters are expressed in many tissues such as the intestine, liver, kidney, and brain, and play key roles in drug absorption, distribution, and excretion. The information on the functional characteristics of drug transporters provides important information to allow improvements in drug delivery or drug design by targeting specific transporter proteins. In this article we summarize the significant role played by drug transporters in drug disposition, focusing particularly on their potential use during the drug discovery and development process. The use of transporter function offers the possibility of delivering a drug to the target organ, avoiding distribution to other organs (thereby reducing the chance of toxic side effects), controlling the elimination process, and/or improving oral bioavailability. It is useful to select a lead compound that may or may not interact with transporters, depending on whether such an interaction is desirable. The expression system of transporters is an efficient tool for screening the activity of individual transport processes. The changes in pharmacokinetics due to genetic polymorphisms and drug-drug interactions involving transporters can often have a direct and adverse effect on the therapeutic safety and efficacy of many important drugs. To obtain detailed information about these interindividual differences, the contribution made by transporters to drug absorption, distribution, and excretion needs to be taken into account throughout the drug discovery and development process.

Abstract
PURPOSE The study aimed to determine whether detectable concentrations of colchicine are present in the tear fluid of treated patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and thus demonstrate a possible route by which colchicine reaches the corneal surface. METHODS Tear fluid samples (50-100 microL) were collected from eight FMF patients on long-term colchicine treatment. Colchicine tear fluid concentrations were determined in all patients by radioimmunoassay using goat anticolchicine antibodies and [3H]colchicine (Dupont, Wilmington, DE). RESULTS Detectable concentrations of colchicine, with no apparent effect on the ocular surface, were found in all tear fluid samples (median, 0.46 ng/mL; range, 0.24-1.05 ng/mL). CONCLUSIONS This study provides evidence of the route by which colchicine, given systemically, reaches the corneal surface and thus gives credence to the possible inhibitory effect of this drug on corneal wound healing in the cases described in the literature.

Abstract
Although the exact mechanism of fluoroquinolone-induced retinal degeneration in cats remains to be elucidated, it appears from the literature that a similar retinal degeneration can be reproduced from either direct intravitreal injection of high concentrations of drug or exposure to UVA light and drug in laboratory animals. (19,25) The fluoroquinolone molecular structure is also similar structurally to other drugs that are known to directly induce retinal degeneration, including the cinchona alkaloids and halogenated hydroquinolones. Experimental evidence suggests that both the parent compound and its breakdown products via metabolism and photodegradation are active inducers of retinal degeneration. (18,25) Development of toxicoses also appears to be dependent on the maximum concentration of active drug, metabolite, or both reaching the retina over time. (18) Evaluation of the literature suggests that risk factors predisposing cats to fluoroquinolone-induced retinal degeneration may include the following: 1) large doses or plasma concentrations of drug, 2) rapid IV infusion of the antibiotic, 3) prolonged courses of treatment, and 4) age. Theoretically, other risk factors may also be involved including the following: 1) prolonged exposure to UVA light while the antibiotic is being administered, 2) drug interactions, and 3) drug or metabolite accumulation from altered metabolism or reduced elimination. To date, there are no published reports suggesting that the dose of fluoroquinolones should be reduced in geriatric cats or those with renal or hepatic failure. However, accumulation of fluoroquinolone metabolites in dogs and of the parent compound in humans with decreased renal function has been reported. (8-10) In humans with decreased renal function has been reported. (8-10) humans, fluoroquinolone doses are typically decreased in response to the degree of renal impairment. (28) In general, all fluoroquinolone antibiotics should be reserved for severe or recurrent infections, and whenever possible their use should be based on results whenever possible their use should be based on results of culture and susceptibility tests. When indicated, the fluoroquinolones, including enrofloxacin, can be used with limited risk of developing retinal degeneration in cats, provided the manufacturer's guidelines are adhered to and dose reduction is considered in geriatric cats or those with renal impairment. Dosing on renal impairment. Dosing on exact body weight using split dosing (2.5 mg/kg, PO, q 12 h) and avoidance of rapid IV infusions, and drug interactions may help to reduce the risk of retinal degeneration in some cases. Furthermore, monitoring cats for mydriasis and avoidance of UVA light while undergoing treatment may also be of benefit. Further evaluation of the pharmacokinetics of enrofloxacin and the other fluoroquinolones is required in geriatric cats or those with mild to moderate renal or liver impairment to determine whether drug accumulation, elevated peak concentrations of drug, or both may be occurring in this subset of cats. Therapeutic monitoring of drug concentrations may not always be feasible because of time and cost, but renal panels with dose or frequency reduction in response to the degree of renal impairment and the site and severity of infection may help to reduce retinal toxicosis.
