Eur J Pharm Sci 2023; 183:106396. [PMID: 36736464 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2023.106396] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2022] [Revised: 01/02/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
Altered drug concentrations may induce unexpected toxicity or treatment failure; thus, understanding the factors that alter the pharmacokinetic profiles of drugs is crucial for optimal disease treatment. Vitamin D receptor (VDR), a nuclear receptor, regulates the expression of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) and multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1), which are crucial determinants of drug pharmacokinetics. In this study, we investigated the effects of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3], a VDR ligand, on the metabolism, transport, and pharmacokinetics of indinavir, a dual substrate of CYP3A4 and MDR1. 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment for three days upregulated the expression levels of CYP3A4 and MDR1 in Caco-2 cells and consequently led to an increase in the level of a metabolite formed via CYP3A4 (indinavir M6) and the efflux ratio of indinavir in transport study. The increase in the metabolic reaction was also confirmed through a metabolism assay performed using the lysate of 1,25(OH)2D3-treated Caco-2 cells. In the Ussing chamber study conducted with the rat intestine, 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment did not alter the transport of indinavir into the basolateral side but increased indinavir M6 formation. Similarly, plasma levels of the metabolite increased in 1,25(OH)2D3-treated rats; however, systemic exposure to indinavir led to insignificant alterations. Considering the overlapping substrate specificities for CYP3A4 and MDR1 and their significant roles in drug pharmacokinetics, VDR may play an important role in drug interactions of CYP3A4 and MDR1 substrates for accessing more effective and safe disease treatments.

Abstract
The vitamin D receptor (VDR), in addition to other nuclear receptors, the pregnane X receptor (PXR) and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), is involved in the regulation of enzymes, transporters and receptors, and therefore intimately affects drug disposition, tissue health, and the handling of endogenous and exogenous compounds. This review examines the role of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 or calcitriol, the natural VDR ligand, on activation of the VDR and its crosstalk with other nuclear receptors towards the regulation of enzymes and transporters, notably many of the cytochrome P450s including CYP3A4 and sulfotransferase 2A1 (SULT2A1) as well as cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1). Moreover, the VDR upregulates the intestinal channel, TRPV6, for calcium absorption, LDL receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) and receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) in brain for β-amyloid peptide efflux and influx, the sodium phosphate transporters (NaPi), the apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT) and organic solute transporters (OSTα-OSTβ) for bile acid absorption and efflux, respectively, the renal organic anion transporter 3 (OAT3) and several of the ATP-binding cassette protein transporters-the multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1) and the multidrug resistance-associated proteins (MRPs). Hence, the role of the VDR is increasingly being recognized for its therapeutic potential and pharmacologic activity, giving rise to drug-drug interactions (DDI). Therapeutically, ligand-activated VDR shows anti-inflammatory effects towards the suppression of inflammatory mediators, improves cognition by upregulating amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptide clearance in brain, and maintains phosphate, calcium, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) balance and kidney function and bone health, demonstrating the crucial roles of the VDR in disease progression and treatment of diseases.

Effects of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 on the pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of ergothioneine, an endogenous organic cation/carnitine transporter 1 substrate, in rats. JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL INVESTIGATION 2022; 52:341-351. [PMID: 35291466 PMCID: PMC8911105 DOI: 10.1007/s40005-022-00563-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2021] [Accepted: 02/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to investigate the effects of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) on the expression levels of organic cation/carnitine transporter 1 (OCTN1) as well as the pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of ergothioneine, an OCTN1 substrate, in rats. Methods Rats pretreated with 1,25(OH)2D3 (2.56 nmol/kg/day) for four days were administered ergothioneine (2 mg/kg) intravenously. The expression levels of rat OCTN1 (rOCTN1) in organs were determined using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Ergothioneine levels in plasma, urine, and organs (with and without intravenous injection of exogenous ergothioneine) were determined using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Results 1,25(OH)2D3 pretreatment resulted in a significant decrease in rOCTN1 mRNA expression levels in the kidney and brain, a significant increase in basal plasma levels of ergothioneine (from 48 h), and a significant decrease in the tissue-plasma partition coefficient (Kp) in all tissues (except the heart and lungs) and the basal urine levels of ergothioneine. After intravenous administration, the pharmacokinetic profiles of ergothioneine were consistent with the basal levels of endogenous ergothioneine, with an increase in AUC∞ by 85%, a significant decrease in total clearance by 49%, and a decrease in Vss by 32% in 1,25(OH)2D3-treated rats. The Kp value and urinary recovery of ergothioneine also decreased in the 1,25(OH)2D3-treated group. Conclusion This study showed the effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 on the expression and function of rOCTN1 by investigating the interaction between 1,25(OH)2D3 and ergothioneine. Dose adjustment and possible changes in bioavailability should be considered before the co-administration of vitamin D or its active forms and OCTN1 substrates.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to improve the in vitro dissolution, permeability and oral bioavailability of adefovir dipivoxil (ADD) by cocrystal technology and clarify the important role of coformer selection on the cocrystal's properties. METHODS ADD was cocrystallized with three small molecules (i.e., paracetamol (PA), saccharin (SAC) and nicotinamide (NIC)), respectively. The obtained ADD-PA cocrystal was characterized by DSC, TGA, PXRD and FTIR. Comparative study on dissolution rates among the three ADD cocrystals were conducted in water and pH 6.8 phosphate buffer. Besides, effects of coformers on intestinal permeability of ADD were evaluated via in vitro Caco-2 cell model and in situ single-pass intestinal perfusion model in rats. Furthermore, in vivo pharmacokinetic study of ADD cocrystals was also compared. RESULTS Dissolution rates of ADD cocrystals were improved with the order of ADD-SAC cocrystal > ADD-PA cocrystal > ADD-NIC cocrystal. The permeability studies on Caco-2 cell model and single-pass intestinal perfusion model indicated that PA could enhance intestinal absorption of ADD by P-gp inhibition, while SAC and NIC did not. Further in vivo pharmacokinetic study showed that ADD-SAC cocrystal exhibited higher Cmax (1.4-fold) and AUC0-t (1.3-fold) of ADD than administration of ADD alone, and Cmax and AUC0-t of ADD-PA cocrystal were significantly enhanced by 2.1-fold and 2.2-fold, respectively, which was attributed to its higher dissolution and improved intestinal permeability. CONCLUSION Coformer selection had an important role on cocrystal's properties, and cocrystallization of ADD with a suitable coformer was an effective approach to enhance both dissolution and bioavailability of ADD.

Abstract
In this study, possible changes in the expression of rat organic cationic transporters (rOCTs) and rat multidrug and toxin extrusion proteins (rMATEs) following treatment with 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) were investigated. Rats received intraperitoneal administrations of 1,25(OH)2D3 for four consecutive days, and the tissues of interest were collected. The mRNA expression of rOCT1 in the kidneys was significantly increased in 1,25(OH)2D3-treated rats compared with the control rats, while the mRNA expressions of rOCT2 and rMATE1 in the kidneys, rOCT1 and N-acetyltransferase-II (NAT-II) in the liver, and rOCT3 in the heart were significantly decreased. Changes in the protein expression of hepatic rOCT1 and renal rOCT2 and rMATE1 were confirmed by western blot analysis. We further evaluated the pharmacokinetics of procainamide (PA) hydrochloride and its major metabolite N-acetyl procainamide (NAPA) in the presence of 1,25(OH)2D3. When PA hydrochloride was administered intravenously at a dose 10 mg/kg to 1,25(OH)2D3-treated rats, a significant decrease in renal and/or non-renal clearance of PA and NAPA was observed. A physiological model for the pharmacokinetics of PA and NAPA in rats was useful for linking changes in the transcriptional and translational expressions of rOCTs and rMATE1 transporters to the altered pharmacokinetics of the drugs.

Pharmaceutical Formulations with P-Glycoprotein Inhibitory Effect as Promising Approaches for Enhancing Oral Drug Absorption and Bioavailability. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13071103. [PMID: 34371794 PMCID: PMC8309061 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13071103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 46] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2021] [Revised: 07/09/2021] [Accepted: 07/19/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is crucial in the active transport of various substrates with diverse structures out of cells, resulting in poor intestinal permeation and limited bioavailability following oral administration. P-gp inhibitors, including small molecule drugs, natural constituents, and pharmaceutically inert excipients, have been exploited to overcome P-gp efflux and enhance the oral absorption and bioavailability of many P-gp substrates. The co-administration of small molecule P-gp inhibitors with P-gp substrates can result in drug–drug interactions and increased side effects due to the pharmacological activity of these molecules. On the other hand, pharmaceutically inert excipients, including polymers, surfactants, and lipid-based excipients, are safe, pharmaceutically acceptable, and are not absorbed from the gut. Notably, they can be incorporated in pharmaceutical formulations to enhance drug solubility, absorption, and bioavailability due to the formulation itself and the P-gp inhibitory effects of the excipients. Different formulations with inherent P-gp inhibitory activity have been developed. These include micelles, emulsions, liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, microspheres, dendrimers, and solid dispersions. They can bypass P-gp by different mechanisms related to their properties. In this review, we briefly introduce P-gp and P-gp inhibitors, and we extensively summarize the current development of oral drug delivery systems that can bypass and inhibit P-gp to improve the oral absorption and bioavailability of P-gp substrates. Since many drugs are limited by P-gp-mediated efflux, this review is helpful for designing suitable formulations of P-gp substrates to enhance their oral absorption and bioavailability.

Comparison of Pharmacokinetics and Anti-Pulmonary Fibrosis-Related Effects of Sulforaphane and Sulforaphane N-acetylcysteine. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13070958.

Abstract
Sulforaphane (SFN), belonging to the isothiocyanate family, has received attention owing to its beneficial activities, including chemopreventive and antifibrotic effects. As sulforaphane N-acetylcysteine (SFN-NAC), a major sulforaphane metabolite, has presented similar pharmacological activities to those of SFN, it is crucial to simultaneously analyze the pharmacokinetics and activities of SFN and SFN-NAC, to comprehensively elucidate the efficacy of SFN-containing products. Accordingly, the anti-pulmonary fibrotic effects of SFN and SFN-NAC were assessed, with simultaneous evaluation of permeability, metabolic stability, and in vivo pharmacokinetics. Both SFN and SFN-NAC decreased the levels of transforming growth factor-β1-induced fibronectin, alpha-smooth muscle actin, and collagen, which are major mediators of fibrosis, in MRC-5 fibroblast cells. Regarding pharmacokinetics, SFN and SFN-NAC were metabolically unstable, especially in the plasma. SFN-NAC degraded considerably faster than SFN in plasma, with SFN being formed from SFN-NAC. In rats, SFN and SFN-NAC showed a similar clearance when administered intravenously; however, SFN showed markedly superior absorption when administered orally. Although the plasma SFN-NAC concentration was low owing to poor absorption following oral administration, SFN-NAC was converted to SFN in vivo, as in plasma. Collectively, these data suggest that SFN-NAC could benefit a prodrug formulation strategy, possibly avoiding the gastrointestinal side effects of SFN, and with improved SFN-NAC absorption.

Abstract
Effects of cholecalciferol (VitD3) and calcitriol (1,25-VitD3), on the expression and function of major vitamin D metabolizing enzymes (cytochrome P450 [CYP]2R1, CYP24A1) and select drug transport pathways (ABCB1/P-gp, SLCO4C1/OATP4C1) were evaluated in human kidney proximal tubule epithelial cells (hPTECs) under normal and uraemic serum conditions.hPTECs were incubated with 10% normal or uraemic serum for 24 h followed by treatment with 2% ethanol vehicle, or 100 and 240 nM doses of VitD3, or 1,25-VitD3 for 6 days. The effects of treatment on mRNA and protein expression and functional activity of select CYP enzymes and transporters were assessedUnder uraemic serum, treatment with 1,25-VitD3 resulted in increased mRNA but decreased protein expression of CYP2R1. Activity of CYP2R1 was not influenced by serum or VitD analogues. CYP24A1 expression was increased with 1,25-VitD3 under normal as well as uraemic serum, although to a lesser extent. ABCB1/P-gp mRNA expression increased under normal and uraemic serum, with exposure to 1,25-VitD3. SLCO4C1/OATP4C1 exhibited increased mRNA but decreased protein expression, under uraemic serum + 1,25-VitD3. Functional assessments of transport showed no changes regardless of exposure to serum or 1,25-VitD3.Key findings indicate that uraemic serum and VitD treatment led to differential effects on the functional expression of CYPs and transporters in hPTECs.

Pharmaceutics 2020; 12:pharmaceutics12111129. [PMID: 33238436 PMCID: PMC7700423 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics12111129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2020] [Revised: 11/19/2020] [Accepted: 11/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The compound 1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) is the active form of vitamin D3 and a representative ligand of the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Previous studies have described the impacts of 1,25(OH)2D3 on a small number of cytochrome P450 (CYP) and uridine diphosphate-glucuronyltransferase (UGT) enzymes, but comparatively little is known about interactions between several important CYP and UGT isoforms and 1,25(OH)2D3 in vitro and/or in vivo. Thus, we investigated the effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 on the gene and protein expressions and functional activities of selected CYPs and UGTs and their impacts on drug pharmacokinetics in rats. The mRNA/protein expressions of Cyp2b1 and Cyp2c11 were downregulated in rat liver by 1,25(OH)2D3. Consistently, the in vitro metabolic kinetics (Vmax and CLint) of BUP (bupropion; a Cyp2b1 substrate) and TOL (tolbutamide; a Cyp2c11 substrate) were significantly changed by 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment in liver microsomes, but the kinetics of acetaminophen (an Ugt1a6/1a7/1a8 substrate) remained unaffected, consistent with Western blotting data for Ugt1a6. In rat pharmacokinetic studies, the total body clearance (CL) and nonrenal clearance (CLNR) of BUP were significantly reduced by 1,25(OH)2D3, but unexpectedly, the total area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC) of hydroxybupropion (HBUP) was increased probably due to a marked reduction in the renal clearance (CLR) of HBUP. Additionally, the AUC, CL, and CLNR for TOL and the AUC for 4-hydroxytolbutamide (HTOL) were unaffected by 1,25(OH)2D3 in vivo. Discrepancies between observed in vitro metabolic activity and in vivo pharmacokinetics of TOL were possibly due to a greater apparent distribution volume at the steady-state (Vss) and lower plasma protein binding in 1,25(OH)2D3-treated rats. Our results suggest possible drug-drug and drug-nutrient interactions and provide additional information concerning safe drug combinations and dosing regimens for patients taking VDR ligand drugs including 1,25(OH)2D3.

Kim H, Shin JY, Lee YS, Yun SP, Maeng HJ, Lee Y. Brain Endothelial P-Glycoprotein Level Is Reduced in Parkinson's Disease via a Vitamin D Receptor-Dependent Pathway. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21228538. [PMID: 33198348 PMCID: PMC7696047 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21228538] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2020] [Revised: 11/09/2020] [Accepted: 11/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The progressive neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD) is accompanied by neuroinflammation and endothelial vascular impairment. Although the vitamin D receptor (VDR) is expressed in both dopamine neurons and brain endothelial cells, its role in the regulation of endothelial biology has not been explored in the context of PD. In a 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced PD mouse model, we observed reduced transcription of the VDR and its downstream target genes, CYP24 and MDR1a. The 6-OHDA-induced transcriptional repression of these genes were recovered after the VDR ligand-1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) treatment. Similarly, reduced vascular protein expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), encoded by MDR1a, after 6-OHDA administration was reversed by 1,25(OH)2D3. Moreover, marked reduction of endothelial P-gp expression with concomitant α-synuclein aggregation was found in a combinatorial AAV-αSyn/αSyn preformed fibril (PFF) injection mouse model and postmortem PD brains. Supporting the direct effect of α-synuclein aggregation on endothelial biology, PFF treatment of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was sufficient to induce α-synuclein aggregation and repress transcription of the VDR. PFF-induced P-gp downregulation and impaired functional activity in HUVECs completely recovered after 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment. Taken together, our results suggest that a dysfunctional VDR-P-gp pathway could be a potential target for the maintenance of vascular homeostasis in PD pathological conditions.

Effects of vitamin D on drugs: Response and disposal. Nutrition 2020; 74:110734. [PMID: 32179384 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2020.110734] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2019] [Revised: 12/29/2019] [Accepted: 01/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Vitamin D supplementation and vitamin D deficiency are common in clinical experience and in daily life. Vitamin D not only promotes calcium absorption and immune regulation, but also changes drug effects (pharmacodynamics and adverse reactions) and drug disposal in vivo when combined with various commonly used clinical drugs. The extensive physiological effects of vitamin D may cause synergism effects or alleviation of adverse reactions, and vitamin D's affect on drugs in vivo disposal through drug transporters or metabolic enzymes may also lead to changes in drug effects. Herein, the effects of vitamin D combined with commonly used drugs were reviewed from the perspective of drug efficacy and adverse reactions. The effects of vitamin D on drug transport and metabolism were summarized and analyzed. Hopefully, more attention will be paid to vitamin D supplementation and deficiency in clinical treatment and drug research and development.

Abstract
Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-decorated doxorubicin (Dox)/carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC)/gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been developed for cancer therapy. CMC was used as a reducing and stabilizing agent for the fabrication of AuNPs and Dox was loaded onto AuNPs as a chemotherapeutic agent. Dox-loaded CMC-stabilized AuNPs (Dox/CMC-AuNPs) with a mean diameter of 104.0 nm, zeta potential of -48.32 mV, and drug loading efficiency of 60.14% were prepared. PEG was attached to CMC-AuNPs for enhancing systemic drug exposure and prolonging the circulation in blood stream. Compared with Dox/CMC-AuNPs, Dox-loaded PEGylated CMC-AuNPs (Dox/CMC-AuNPs-PEG) showed a reduced hydrodynamic size (71.2 nm), less negative zeta potential (-12.83 mV), and an enhanced Dox loading efficiency (73.14%). Dox/CMC-AuNPs and Dox/CMC-AuNPs-PEG exhibited sustained and pH-dependent drug release profiles and exhibited antiproliferation effects against the A549 cells. In a bi-directional transport study of Caco-2 cell monolayers, AuNPs reduced the efflux ratio, which indicated that the P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance (MDR) was overcome. Dox/CMC-AuNPs-PEG resulted in reduced drug clearance (CL) and improved half-life (t1/2), compared with Dox/CMC-AuNPs, in rats after intravenous administration. These results suggest that Dox/CMC-AuNPs-PEG could be a promising nanotherapeutic approach to overcome MDR in cancer and prolong their circulation in the blood stream.

Abstract
Pharmacokinetic modeling was used to describe 5 (and 6)-carboxy-2',7'-dichloroflourescein (CDF) disposition in Caco-2 cells following CDF or CDFDA (CDF diacetate) dosing. CDF transcellular flux was modeled by simple passive diffusion. CDFDA dosing models were based on simultaneous fitting of CDF levels in apical, basolateral, and intracellular compartments. Predicted CDF efflux was 50% higher across the apical versus the basolateral membrane. This difference was similar following apical and basolateral CDFDA dosing, despite intracellular levels being 3-fold higher following basolateral dosing, thus supporting nonsaturable CDF efflux kinetics. A 3-compartment catenary model with intracellular CDFDA hydrolysis described CDF disposition. This model predicted that apical CDF efflux was not altered in the presence of MK-571, and that basolateral membrane clearance was enhanced to account for reduced intracellular CDF in the presence of this multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) inhibitor. Similar effects were predicted for glyceollin, while genistein exposure had no predicted effects on CDF efflux. These modulator effects are discussed in the context of model predicted intracellular CDF concentrations relative to reports of CDF affinity (measured by Km) for MRP2 and MRP3. This model-based analysis confirms the complexity of efflux kinetics and suggests that other transporters may have contributed to CDF efflux.

Abstract
The vitamin D-deficient model, established in the C57BL/6 mouse after 8 weeks of feeding vitamin D-deficient diets in the absence or presence of added calcium, was found associated with elevated levels of plasma parathyroid hormone (PTH) and plasma and liver cholesterol, and a reduction in cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (Cyp7a1, rate-limiting enzyme for cholesterol metabolism) and renal Oat3 mRNA/protein expression levels. However, there was no change in plasma calcium and phosphate levels. Appraisal of the liver revealed an up-regulation of mRNA expressions of the small heterodimer partner (Shp) and attenuation of Cyp7a1, which contributed to hypercholesterolemia in vitamin D-deficiency. When vitamin D-sufficient or D-deficient mice were further rendered hypercholesterolemic with 3 weeks of feeding the respective, high fat/high cholesterol (HF/HC) diets, treatment with 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2 D3 ], active vitamin D receptor (VDR) ligand, or vitamin D (cholecalciferol) to HF/HC vitamin D-deficient mice lowered the cholesterol back to baseline levels. Cholecalciferol treatment partially restored renal Oat3 mRNA/protein expression back to that of vitamin D-sufficient mice. When the protein expression of protein kinase C (PKC), a known, negative regulator of Oat3, was examined in murine kidney, no difference in PKC expression was observed for any of the diets with/without 1,25(OH)2 D3 /cholecalciferol treatment, inferring that VDR regulation of renal Oat3 did not involve PKC in mice. As expected, plasma calcium levels were not elevated by cholecalciferol treatment of vitamin D-deficient mice, while 1,25(OH)2 D3 treatment led to hypercalcemia. In conclusion, vitamin D-deficiency resulted in down-regulation of liver Cyp7a1 and renal Oat3, conditions that are alleviated upon replenishment of cholecalciferol.

Abstract
1. Hesperetin (HDND) possesses extensive bioactivities, however, its poor solubility and low bioavailability limit its application. HDND-7, a derivative of HDND, has better solubility and high bioavailability. In this study, we investigated the intestinal absorption mechanisms of HDND-7. 2. MDCK cells were used to examine the transport mechanisms of HDND-7 in vitro, and a rat in situ intestinal perfusion model was used to characterize the absorption of HDND-7. The concentration of HDND-7 was determined by HPLC. 3. In MDCK cells, HDND-7 was effectively absorbed in a concentration-dependent manner in both directions. Moreover, HDND-7 showed pH-dependent and TEER-independent transport in both directions. The transport of HDND-7 was significantly reduced at 4 °C or in the presence of NaN3. Furthermore, the efflux of HDND-7 was apparently reduced in the presence of MRP2 inhibitors MK-571 or probenecid. However, P-gp inhibitor verapamil had no effect on the transport of HDND-7. The in situ intestinal perfusion study indicated HDND-7 was well-absorbed in four intestinal segments. Furthermore, MRP2 inhibitors may slightly increase the absorption of HDND-7 in jejunum. 4. In summary, all results indicated that HDND-7 might be absorbed mainly by passive diffusion via transcellular pathway, MRP2 but P-gp may participate in the efflux of HDND-7.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3), an active form of vitamin D, on the oral absorption and disposition of adefovir dipivoxil (P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate) and its major active metabolite, adefovir (multidrug resistance-associated protein 4 (Mrp4) substrate), in rats. The pharmacokinetics of intravenous adefovir and oral adefovir dipivoxil was evaluated in control and 1,25(OH)2D3-treated rats. The intestinal absorption of adefovir dipivoxil was investigated through an in situ closed loop study, and the tissue distribution of adefovir after oral administration of adefovir dipivoxil was evaluated in the two groups. There was no significant difference in pharmacokinetic parameters of intravenous adefovir between the two groups. Importantly, the total area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time infinity (AUC), peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and extent of absolute oral bioavailability (F) of adefovir after oral administration of adefovir dipivoxil were significantly higher in 1,25(OH)2D3-treated rats than in control rats. In the in situ closed loop study, there was no significant difference in the remaining fraction of adefovir dipivoxil in the duodenum, jejunum and ileum loops between the two groups. In the tissue distribution study after oral administration of adefovir dipivoxil, the tissue-to-plasma partition coefficients of adefovir in the liver, brain, kidney, and intestine were significantly lower in the 1,25(OH)2D3-treated rats than in control rats. The present study indicates that 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment can enhance the oral absorption of adefovir dipivoxil, likely via the induction of basolateral Mrp4 function in rat intestine. However, the impact of 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment on the pharmacokinetics of intravenous adefovir was limited. These results could lead to further studies in clinically significant P-gp and/or MRP4-mediated 1,25(OH)2D3-drug interactions.

Abstract
Evidence in the literature suggests that 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2 D3 ], the vitamin D receptor ligand, down-regulated the expression of the rat renal organic anion (renal organic anion transporter, rOAT) and oligopeptide (rPEPT) transporters, but increased intestinal rPEPT1 expression. We investigated, in rats, the intravenous and oral pharmacokinetics of 2 mg/kg cefdinir and cefadroxil, two cephalosporins that are eliminated via renal OAT1/OAT3 and are substrates of PEPT1/PEPT2, with and without 1,25(OH)2 D3 treatment. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of cefdinir or cefadroxil after 1,25(OH)2 D3 treatment was increased significantly because of decreased clearance (CL). Both kidney uptake and cumulative urinary recovery were significantly decreased, whereas liver uptake and fecal recovery remained unchanged in 1,25(OH)2 D3 -treated rats. Similar changes in AUC and CL were observed for both drugs upon coadministration of probenecid, the OAT inhibitor. Oral availability of cefdinir and cefadroxil remained unchanged with 1,25(OH)2 D3 treatment, suggesting lack of a role for intestinal rPEPT1. Rather, reduction of rOAT1/rOAT3 mRNA expression in kidney with 1,25(OH)2 D3 -treatment was observed, confirmed by decreased function in MDCKII cells overexpressing human OAT1 and OAT3. These composite results suggest that 1,25(OH)2 D3 treatment reduces cefdinir and cefadroxil clearances by diminution of renal OAT1/OAT3 expression, implicating a role for 1,25(OH)2 D3 in eliciting transporter-based drug interactions.

Upregulation of COX-2 in the lung cancer promotes overexpression of multidrug resistance protein 4 (MRP4) via PGE2-dependent pathway. Eur J Pharm Sci 2014; 62:189-96.

Abstract
It is apparent that lung cancer is associated with inflammation, with accompanying hallmark elevations of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels. However, the effects of these changes on MRP efflux transporters have not been thoroughly investigated before. Here, we report that upregulation of COX-2 can induce overexpression of MRP4 in both A549 non-small-cell lung cancer cell lines and mouse lung cancer models. In A549 cells, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) treatment induced upregulation of COX-2 and MRP4 together, but not other MRP transporters. Transient overexpression of human COX-2 cDNA also specifically increased COX-2 and MRP4. Moreover, COX inhibitor treatment and COX-2-specific siRNA significantly inhibited the upregulation of MRP4. Additionally, PMA-treatment increased extracellular PGE2 levels, likely due to increased MRP4 function. Likewise, COX-2-specific siRNA reduced extracellular PGE2 levels. Furthermore, COX-2 upregulation resulted in an increase in mPGES-1, an enzyme responsible for PGE2 production. Finally, metastasized lung cancer model mice exhibited increased expression levels of COX-2 and MRP4, as well as mPGES-1. In conclusion, the present study suggests that overexpression of MRP4 in lung cancer may be attributable to COX-2 upregulation via a PGE2-dependent pathway.

Abstract
Induction of the multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1)/P-glycoprotein (P-gp) by the vitamin D receptor (VDR) was investigated in isolated rat brain capillaries and rat (RBE4) and human (hCMEC/D3) brain microvessel endothelial cell lines. Incubation of isolated rat brain capillaries with 10 nM of the VDR ligand, 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1,25(OH)(2)D(3)] for 4 h increased P-gp protein expression fourfold. Incubation with 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) for 4 or 24 h increased P-gp transport activity (specific luminal accumulation of NBD-CSA, the fluorescent P-gp substrate) by 25-30%. In RBE4 cells, Mdr1b mRNA was induced in a concentration-dependent manner by exposure to 1,25(OH)(2)D(3). Concomitantly, P-gp protein expression increased 2.5-fold and was accompanied by a 20-35% reduction in cellular accumulation of the P-gp substrates, rhodamine 6G (R6G), and HiLyte Fluor 488-labeled human amyloid beta 1-42 (hAβ(42)). In hCMEC/D3 cells, a 3 day exposure to 100 nM 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) increased MDR1 mRNA expression (40%) and P-gp protein (threefold); cellular accumulation of R6G and hAβ(42) was reduced by 30%. Thus, VDR activation up-regulates Mdr1/MDR1 and P-gp protein in isolated rat brain capillaries and rodent and human brain microvascular endothelia, implicating a role for VDR in increasing the brain clearance of P-gp substrates, including hAβ(42), a plaque-forming precursor in Alzheimer's disease.
