Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Topical clindamycin formulations are widely used in clinical practice, but poor bioavailability and restricted skin penetration considerably limit their therapeutic efficacy. Penetration enhancement represents a promising and rational strategy to overcome the drawbacks of conventional topical pharmaceutical formulations. We aim to assess the influence of cholic acid (CA) and deoxycholic acid (DCA) on the permeability of clindamycin hydrochloride by performing the in vitro skin parallel artificial membrane permeability assay (skin-PAMPA) at two relevant pH values (5.5 and 6.5) and the interactions of tested substances with skin ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in silico. METHODS After the incubation period, the clindamycin hydrochloride concentrations in both compartments were determined spectrophotometrically, and the apparent permeability coefficients (Papp) were calculated. Vienna LiverTox web service was used to predict the interactions of clindamycin and bile acids with potential drug transporters located in human skin. RESULTS Both CA and DCA at the highest studied concentration of 100 μM in the tested solutions increased the skin-PAMPA membrane permeability of clindamycin hydrochloride. This effect was more pronounced for CA and at a higher studied pH value of 6.5, which is characteristic of most dermatological indications treated with topical clindamycin preparations. Clindamycin transport may also be mediated by ABC transporters located in skin and facilitated in the presence of bile acids. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study provide a solid foundation for further research directed at the improvement of topical formulations using bile acids as penetration-enhancing excipients, as well as the therapeutic efficacy of clindamycin hydrochloride.

Abstract
Transmembrane transport of small organic and inorganic molecules is one of the cornerstones of cellular metabolism. Among transmembrane transporters, solute carrier (SLC) proteins form the largest, albeit very diverse, superfamily with over 400 members. It was recognized early on that xenobiotics can directly interact with SLCs and that this interaction can fundamentally determine their efficacy, including bioavailability and intertissue distribution. Apart from the well-established prodrug strategy, the chemical ligation of transporter substrates to nanoparticles of various chemical compositions has recently been used as a means to enhance their targeting and absorption. In this review, we summarize efforts in drug design exploiting interactions with specific SLC transporters to optimize their therapeutic effects. Furthermore, we describe current and future challenges as well as new directions for the advanced development of therapeutics that target SLC transporters.

Abstract
PTR2/POT/NPF are a family of primarily proton coupled transporters that belong to the major facilitator super family and are found across most kingdoms of life. They are involved in uptake of nutrients, hormones, ions and several orally administered drug molecules. A wealth of structural and functional data is available for this family; the similarity between the protein structural features have been discussed and investigated in detail on several occasions, however there are no reports on the unification of substrate information. In order to fill this gap, we have collected information about substrates across the entire PTR2/POT/NPF family in order to provide key insights into what makes a molecule a substrate and whether there are common features among confirmed substrates. This review will be of particular interest for researchers in the field trying to probe the mechanisms responsible for the different selectivity of these transporters at a molecular resolution, and to design novel substrates.

Abstract
Lopinavir (LPV), a well-known drug administered in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, has shown limitation for pediatric treatment owing to poor aqueous solubility that gives rise to limited oral bioavailability and short plasma half-life (5–6 h). Polymers such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) have been used as drug carriers to improve their solubility. This study reports the preparation of polyethylene glycol (5,000) succinate (PEG–Suc–LPV) conjugate of LPV by the esterification method. The disappearance of the 3,395 cm−1 (O–H stretch of COOH) band for Polyethylene glycol (5,000) succinate (PEG–Suc )confirms the formation ester linkage with the OH group of LPV which is also confirmed by 1H NMR analysis. The XRD for the conjugate showed a broad, amorphous peak while pure PEG, Suc, LPV are crystalline. DSC analysis showed that the conjugate exhibited new broad and diffuse peaks, confirming that they did exist in an amorphous state as multiple complexes. The conjugate showed improved solubility and activity with reduced toxicity compared to pure LPV. The solubility of LPV increased significantly from 80 to 318 ppm. Furthermore, an aquatic toxicity test using Danio rerio showed that the conjugate had a lower LC50 (60.8 ppm) when compared to the pure LPV drug LC50 (6.42 ppm). These results suggest PEG–Suc conjugate of LPV as an efficient carrier for enhanced hydrophilicity and anti-HIV property of LPV.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
Antidepressants need to penetrate the blood–brain barrier (BBB) to exert their functions in the central nervous system. Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), an efflux transporter abundantly expressed in the BBB, prevents the accumulation of many drugs in the brain. This study aimed to identify whether five commonly used antidepressants (sertraline, duloxetine, fluoxetine, amitriptyline and mirtazapine) are BCRP substrates.
Methods
A combination of bidirectional transport and intracellular accumulation experiments was conducted on BCRP-overexpressing MDCKII and wild-type (WT) cells, and in situ brain perfusion was conducted in rats.
Key findings
The bidirectional transport study revealed that the net efflux ratio (NER) of sertraline reached 2.08 but decreased to 1.06 when co-incubated with Ko143, a selective BCRP inhibitor. Conversely, the other four antidepressants did not appear to be BCRP substrates, due to their low NER values (<1.5). The accumulation of sertraline in MDCKII-BCRP cells was significantly lower than that in MDCKII-WT cells. The presence of Ko143 significantly increased the sertraline accumulation in MDCKII-BCRP cells but not in MDCKII-WT cells. Brain perfusion showed that the permeability of 1 and 5 μm sertraline was significantly higher in the presence of Ko143.
Conclusions
Taken together, BCRP is involved in sertraline efflux.

Eur J Pharm Sci 2019; 134:233-245.

Abstract
As a biopharmaceutical classification system Class IV drug, lopinavir (LPV) shows relatively poor water solubility and permeation in vivo. In the study, we developed novel solid dispersions (SD) of LPV to improve its bioavailability and to describe their overall behaviors. By employing solvent evaporation for a preliminary formulation screening, the SDs of LPV-polymer-sorbitan monolaurate (SBM, as the wetting agent) at 1:4:0.4 (w/w) dramatically enhanced the LPV dissolution in a non-sink medium, and then hot-melt extrusion (HME) was applied to improve the dissolution further. A hydrophilic polymer - Kollidon VA 64 (VA64) and a polymeric surfactant Soluplus were employed as matrix respectively in the optimized formulations. The dissolution profiles of extrudates were significantly higher than those of SDs prepared with solvent-evaporation method. It was attributed to the stronger intermolecular interactions between LPV and the polymers in the HME process, which was also supported by the stability analysis after 6 months storage under 25 °C/60% RH. The differential scanning calorimetry, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and equilibrium studies showed VA64 only created hydrogen bonding (H-bond) with LPV, but Soluplus generated both H-bond and micelle thanks to its amphiphilic structure. In addition, the bioavailability of LPV in Soluplus matrixed extrudate was 1.70-fold of VA64 matrixed extrudate and 3.70-fold of LPV crystal. In situ permeability and Caco-2 cell transport studies revealed that Soluplus significantly enhanced the permeability of LPV through rat intestine and Caco-2 cell monolayers by P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibition. Herein, Soluplus matrixed extrudate improved the LPV bioavailability through three mechanisms: H-bond with LPV, micelle formation in water and P-gp inhibition in vivo. These unique advantages of Soluplus suggested it is a promising carrier for poorly water soluble drugs, especially the substrates of P-gp.

Abstract
This study examined how gastrointestinal conditions affect pesticide bioaccessibility and intestinal transepithelial transport of pesticides (difenoconazole, hexaconazole, and spirodiclofen) in humans. We used an in vitro model combining human gastric and intestinal digestion, followed with Caco-2 cell model for human intestinal absorption. Bioaccessibility of three tested pesticides ranged from 25.2 to 76.3% and 10.6 to 79.63% in the gastric and intestinal phases, respectively. A marked trend similar to the normal distribution was observed between bioaccessibility and pH, with highest values observed at pH 2.12 in gastric juice. No significant differences were observed with increasing digestion time; however, a significant negative correlation was observed with the solid-liquid (S/L) ratio, following a logarithmic equation. R2 ranged from 0.9198 to 0.9848 and 0.9526 to 0.9951 in the simulated gastric and intestinal juices, respectively, suggesting that the S/L ratio is also a major factor affecting bioaccessibility. Moreover, significant dose- and time-response effects were subsequently observed for intestinal membrane permeability of difenoconazole, but not for hexaconazole or spirodiclofen. This is the first study to demonstrate the uptake of pesticides by human intestinal cells, aiding quantification of the likely effects on human health and highlighting the importance of considering bioaccessibility in studies of dietary exposure to pesticide residues.
