Abstract
The renal secretion of many drugs is facilitated by membrane transporters, including organic cation transporter 2, multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 1/2-K and organic anion transporters 1 and 3. Inhibition of these transporters can reduce renal excretion of drugs and thereby pose a safety risk. Assessing the risk of inhibition of these membrane transporters by investigational drugs remains a key focus in the evaluation of drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Current methods to predict DDI risk are based on generating in vitro data followed by a clinical assessment using a recommended exogenous probe substrate for the individual drug transporter. More recently, monitoring plasma-based and urine-based endogenous biomarkers to predict transporter-mediated DDIs in early phase I studies represents a promising approach to facilitate, improve and potentially avoid conventional clinical DDI studies. This perspective reviews the evidence for use of these endogenous biomarkers in the assessment of renal transporter-mediated DDI, evaluates how endogenous biomarkers may help to expand the DDI assessment toolkit and offers some potential knowledge gaps. A conceptual framework for assessment that may complement the current paradigm of predicting the potential for renal transporter-mediated DDIs is outlined.

Interplay of OATP1A/1B/2B1 uptake transporters and ABCB1 and ABCG2 efflux transporters in the handling of bilirubin and drugs. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 175:116644. [PMID: 38692057 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116644] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Transmembrane drug transporters can be important determinants of the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety profiles of drugs. To investigate the potential cooperative and/or counteracting interplay of OATP1A/1B/2B1 uptake transporters and ABCB1 and ABCG2 efflux transporters in physiology and pharmacology, we generated a new mouse model (Bab12), deficient for Slco1a/1b, Slco2b1, Abcb1a/1b and Abcg2. Bab12 mice were viable and fertile. We compared wild-type, Slco1a/1b/2b1-/-, Abcb1a/1b;Abcg2-/- and Bab12 strains. Endogenous plasma conjugated bilirubin levels ranked as follows: wild-type = Abcb1a/1b;Abcg2-/- << Slco1a/1b/2b1-/- < Bab12 mice. Plasma levels of rosuvastatin and fexofenadine were elevated in Slco1a/1b/2b1-/- and Abcb1a/1b;Abcg2-/- mice compared to wild-type, and dramatically increased in Bab12 mice. Although systemic exposure of larotrectinib and repotrectinib was substantially increased in the separate multidrug transporter knockout strains, no additive effects were observed in the combination Bab12 mice. Significantly higher plasma exposure of fluvastatin and pravastatin was only found in Slco1a/1b/2b1-deficient mice. However, noticeable transport by Slco1a/1b/2b1 and Abcb1a/1b and Abcg2 across the BBB was observed for fluvastatin and pravastatin, respectively, by comparing Bab12 mice with Abcb1a/1b;Abcg2-/- or Slco1a/1b/2b1-/- mice. Quite varying behavior in plasma exposure of erlotinib and its metabolites was observed among these strains. Bab12 mice revealed that Abcb1a/1b and/or Abcg2 can contribute to conjugated bilirubin elimination when Slco1a/1b/2b1 are absent. Our results suggest that the interplay of Slco1a/1b/2b1, Abcb1a/1b, and Abcg2 could markedly affect the pharmacokinetics of some, but not all drugs and metabolites. The Bab12 mouse model will represent a useful tool for optimizing drug development and clinical application, including efficacy and safety.

Abstract
The effect of membrane transporters on drug disposition, efficacy and safety is now well recognized. Since the initial publication from the International Transporter Consortium, significant progress has been made in understanding the roles and functions of transporters, as well as in the development of tools and models to assess and predict transporter-mediated activity, toxicity and drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Notable advances include an increased understanding of the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic factors on transporter activity, the application of physiologically based pharmacokinetic modelling in predicting transporter-mediated drug disposition, the identification of endogenous biomarkers to assess transporter-mediated DDIs and the determination of the cryogenic electron microscopy structures of SLC and ABC transporters. This article provides an overview of these key developments, highlighting unanswered questions, regulatory considerations and future directions.

Abstract
The renal tubular organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2) and multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 1 (MATE1) mediate the vectorial elimination of many drugs and toxins from the kidney, and endogenous biomarkers for vectorial transport (OCT2-MATE1) would allow more accurate drug dosing and help to characterize drug-drug interactions and toxicity. Human serum uptake in OCT2-overexpressing cells and metabolomics analysis were carried out. Potential biomarkers were verified in vitro and in vivo. The specificity of biomarkers was validated in renal transporter overexpressing cells and the sensitivity was investigated by Km . The results showed that the uptake of thiamine, histamine, and 5-hydroxytryptamine was significantly increased in OCT2-overexpressing cells. In vitro assays confirmed that thiamine, histamine, and 5-hydroxytryptamine were substrates of both OCT2 and MATE1. In vivo measurements indicated that the serum thiamine level was increased significantly in the presence of the rOCT2 inhibitor cimetidine, and the level in renal tissue was increased significantly by the rMATE1 inhibitor pyrimethamine. There were no significant changes in the uptake or efflux of thiamine in cell lines overexpressed OAT1, OAT2, OAT3, MRP4, organic anion transporting polypeptide 4C1, P-gp, peptide transporter 2, urate transporter 1, and OAT4. The Km for thiamine with OCT2 and MATE1 were 71.2 and 10.8 μM, respectively. In addition, the cumulative excretion of thiamine at 2 and 4 h was strongly correlated with metformin excretion (R2 > 0.6). Thus, thiamine is preferentially secreted by the OCT2 and MATE1 in renal tubules and can provide a reference value for evaluating the function of the renal tubular OCT2-MATE1.

Abstract
Tubular secretion is a primary mechanism along with glomerular filtration for renal elimination of drugs and toxicants into urine. Organic cation transporters (OCTs) and multidrug and toxic extrusion (MATE) transporters facilitate the active secretion of cationic substrates, including drugs such as metformin and endogenous cations. We hypothesized that administration of cimetidine, an Oct/Mate inhibitor, will result in increased plasma levels and decreased renal clearance of metformin and endogenous Oct/Mate substrates in rats. A paired rat pharmacokinetic study was carried out in which metformin (5 mg/kg, intravenous) was administered as an exogenous substrate of Oct/Mate transporters to six Sprague-Dawley rats with and without cimetidine (100 mg/kg, intraperitoneal). When co-administered with cimetidine, metformin area under the curve increased significantly by 3.2-fold, and its renal clearance reduced significantly by 73%. Untargeted metabolomics was performed to investigate the effect of cimetidine on endogenous metabolome in the blood and urine samples. Over 8,000 features (metabolites) were detected in the blood, which were shortlisted using optimized criteria, i.e., a significant increase (P value < 0.05) in metabolite peak intensity in the cimetidine-treated group, reproducible retention time, and quality of chromatogram peak. The metabolite hits were classified into three groups that can potentially distinguish inhibition of i) extra-renal uptake transport or catabolism, ii) renal Octs, and iii) renal efflux transporters or metabolite formation. The metabolomics approach identified novel putative endogenous substrates of cationic transporters that could be tested as potential biomarkers to predict Oct/Mate transporter mediated drug-drug interactions in the preclinical stages. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Endogenous substrates of renal transporters in animal models could be used as potential biomarkers to predict renal drug-drug interactions in early drug development. Here we demonstrated that cimetidine, an inhibitor of organic cation transporters (Oct/Mate), could alter the pharmacokinetics of metformin and endogenous cationic substrates in rats. Several putative endogenous metabolites of Oct/Mate transporters were identified using metabolomics approach, which could be tested as potential transporter biomarkers to predict renal drug-drug interaction of Oct/Mate substrates.

Abstract
Renal tubular secretion mediated by organic anion transporters (OATs) and the multidrug resistance-associated protein 4 (MRP4) is an important means of drug and toxin excretion. Unfortunately, there are no biomarkers to evaluate their function. The aim of this study was to identify and characterize an endogenous biomarker of the renal tubular OATs-MRP4 channel. Twenty-six uremic toxins were selected as candidate compounds, of which kynurenic acid was identified as a potential biomarker by assessing the protein-binding ratio and the uptake in OAT1-, OAT3-, and MRP4-overexpressing cell lines. OAT1/3 and MRP4 mediated the transcellular vectorial transport of kynurenic acid in vitro. Serum kynurenic acid concentration was dramatically increased in rats treated with a rat OAT1/3 (rOAT1/3) inhibitor and in rOAT1/3 double knockout (rOAT1/3-/-) rats, and the renal concentrations were markedly elevated by the rat MRP4 (rMRP4) inhibitor. Kynurenic acid was not filtered at the glomerulus (99% of albumin binding), and was specifically secreted in renal tubules through the OAT1/3-MRP4 channel with an appropriate affinity (Km) (496.7 μM and 382.2 μM for OAT1 and OAT3, respectively) and renal clearance half-life (t1/2) in vivo (3.7 ± 0.7 h). There is a strong correlation in area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve (AUC0-t) between cefmetazole and kynurenic acid, but not with creatinine, after inhibition of rOATs. In addition, the phase of increased kynurenic acid level is earlier than that of creatinine in acute kidney injury process. These results suggest that albumin-bound kynurenic acid is an appropriate endogenous biomarker for adjusting the dosage of drugs secreted by this channel or predicting kidney injury.

Abstract
In recent years, some endogenous substrates of organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B (OATP1B) have been identified and characterized as potential biomarkers to assess OATP1B-mediated clinical drug-drug interactions (DDIs). However, quantitative determination of their selectivity to OATP1B is still limited. In this study, we developed a relative activity factor (RAF) method to determine the relative contribution of hepatic uptake transporters OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OATP2B1, and sodium-taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP) on hepatic uptake of several OATP1B biomarkers, including coproporphyrin I (CPI), coproporphyrin I CPIII, and sulfate conjugates of bile acids: glycochenodeoxycholic acid sulfate (GCDCA-S), glycodeoxycholic acid sulfate (GDCA-S), and taurochenodeoxycholic acid sulfate (TCDCA-S). RAF values for OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OATP2B1, and NTCP were determined in cryopreserved human hepatocytes and transporter transfected cells using pitavastatin, cholecystokinin, resveratrol-3-O-β-D-glucuronide, and taurocholic acid (TCA) as reference compounds, respectively. OATP1B1-specific pitavastatin uptake in hepatocytes was measured in the absence and presence of 1 µM estropipate, whereas NTCP-specific TCA uptake was measured in the presence of 10 µM rifampin. Our studies suggested that CPI was a more selective biomarker for OATP1B1 than CPIII, whereas GCDCA-S and TCDCA-S were more selective to OATP1B3. OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 equally contributed to hepatic uptake of GDCA-S. The mechanistic static model, incorporating the fraction transported of CPI/III estimated by RAF and in vivo elimination data, predicted several perpetrator interactions with CPI/III. Overall, RAF method combined with pharmacogenomic and DDI studies is a useful tool to determine the selectivity of transporter biomarkers and facilitate the selection of appropriate biomarkers for DDI evaluation. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The authors developed a new relative activity factor (RAF) method to quantify the contribution of hepatic uptake transporters organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B1, OATP1B3, OATP2B1, and sodium taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP) on several OATP1B biomarkers and evaluated their predictive value on drug-drug interactions (DDI). These studies suggest that the RAF method is a useful tool to determine the selectivity of transporter biomarkers. This method combined with pharmacogenomic and DDI studies will mechanistically facilitate the selection of appropriate biomarkers for DDI prediction.

Abstract
Vincristine is a widely used chemotherapeutic drug for the treatment of multiple malignant diseases that causes a dose-limiting peripheral neurotoxicity. There is no clinically effective preventative treatment for vincristine-induced sensory peripheral neurotoxicity (VIPN), and mechanistic details of this side effect remain poorly understood. We hypothesized that VIPN is dependent on transporter-mediated vincristine accumulation in dorsal root ganglion neurons. Using a xenobiotic transporter screen, we identified OATP1B3 as a neuronal transporter regulating the uptake of vincristine. In addition, genetic or pharmacological inhibition of the murine orthologue transporter OATP1B2 protected mice from various hallmarks of VIPN - including mechanical allodynia, thermal hyperalgesia, and changes in digital maximal action potential amplitudes and neuronal morphology - without negatively affecting plasma levels or antitumor effects of vincristine. Finally, we identified α-tocopherol from an untargeted metabolomics analysis as a circulating endogenous biomarker of neuronal OATP1B2 function, and it could serve as a companion diagnostic to guide dose selection of OATP1B-type transport modulators given in combination with vincristine to prevent VIPN. Collectively, our findings shed light on the fundamental basis of VIPN and provide a rationale for the clinical development of transporter inhibitors to prevent this debilitating side effect.

Abstract
The kidney is critical in the human body's excretion of drugs and their metabolites. Renal transporters participate in actively secreting substances from the proximal tubular cells and reabsorbing them in the distal renal tubules. They can affect the clearance rates (CLr) of drugs and their metabolites, eventually influence the clinical efficiency and side effects of drugs, and may produce drug-drug interactions (DDIs) of clinical significance. Renal transporters and renal transporter-mediated DDIs have also been studied by many researchers. In this article, the main types of in vitro research models used for the study of renal transporter-mediated DDIs are membrane-based assays, cell-based assays, and the renal slice uptake model. In vivo research models include animal experiments, gene knockout animal models, positron emission tomography (PET) technology, and studies on human beings. In addition, in vitro-in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE), ex vivo kidney perfusion (EVKP) models, and, more recently, biomarker methods and in silico models are included. This article reviews the traditional research methods of renal transporter-mediated DDIs, updates the recent progress in the development of the methods, and then classifies and summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Through the sorting work conducted in this paper, it will be convenient for researchers at different learning stages to choose the best method for their own research based on their own subject's situation when they are going to study DDIs mediated by renal transporters.

Miners JO, Polasek TM, Hulin JA, Rowland A, Meech R. Drug-drug interactions that alter the exposure of glucuronidated drugs: Scope, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzyme selectivity, mechanisms (inhibition and induction), and clinical significance. Pharmacol Ther 2023:108459. [PMID: 37263383 DOI: 10.1016/j.pharmthera.2023.108459] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) arising from the perturbation of drug metabolising enzyme activities represent both a clinical problem and a potential economic loss for the pharmaceutical industry. DDIs involving glucuronidated drugs have historically attracted little attention and there is a perception that interactions are of minor clinical relevance. This review critically examines the scope and aetiology of DDIs that result in altered exposure of glucuronidated drugs. Interaction mechanisms, namely inhibition and induction of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes and the potential interplay with drug transporters, are reviewed in detail, as is the clinical significance of known DDIs. Altered victim drug exposure arising from modulation of UGT enzyme activities is relatively common and, notably, the incidence and importance of UGT induction as a DDI mechanism is greater than generally believed. Numerous DDIs are clinically relevant, resulting in either loss of efficacy or an increased risk of adverse effects, necessitating dose individualisation. Several generalisations relating to the likelihood of DDIs can be drawn from the known substrate and inhibitor selectivities of UGT enzymes, highlighting the importance of comprehensive reaction phenotyping studies at an early stage of drug development. Further, rigorous assessment of the DDI liability of new chemical entities that undergo glucuronidation to a significant extent has been recommended recently by regulatory guidance. Although evidence-based approaches exist for the in vitro characterisation of UGT enzyme inhibition and induction, the availability of drugs considered appropriate for use as 'probe' substrates in clinical DDI studies is limited and this should be research priority.

Abstract
Drug interactions involving the inhibition of hepatic organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) 1B1 and OATP1B3 are considered important. Therefore, we sought to study various sulfated bile acids (BA-S) as potential clinical OATP1B1/3 biomarkers. It was determined that BA-S [e.g., glycochenodeoxycholic acid 3-O-sulfate (GCDCA-S) and glycodeoxycholic acid 3-O-sulfate (GDCA-S)] are substrates of OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and sodium-dependent taurocholic acid cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) transfected into human embryonic kidney 293 cells, with minimal uptake evident for other solute carriers (SLCs) like OATP2B1, organic anion transporter 2, and organic cation transporter 1. It was also shown that BA-S uptake by plated human hepatocytes (PHH) was inhibited (≥96%) by a pan-SLC inhibitor (rifamycin SV), and there was greater inhibition (≥77% versus ≤12%) with rifampicin (OATP1B1/3-selective inhibitor) than a hepatitis B virus myristoylated-preS1 peptide (NTCP-selective inhibitor). Estrone 3-sulfate was also used as an OATP1B1-selective inhibitor. In this instance, greater inhibition was observed with GDCA-S (76%) than GCDCA-S (52%). The study was expanded to encompass the measurement of GCDCA-S and GDCA-S in plasma of SLCO1B1 genotyped subjects. The geometric mean GDCA-S concentration was 2.6-fold (90% confidence interval 1.6, 4.3; P = 2.1 × 10-4) and 1.3-fold (1.1, 1.7; P = 0.001) higher in individuals homozygous and heterozygous for the SLCO1B1 c.521T > C loss-of-function allele, respectively. For GCDCA-S, no significant difference was noted [1.2-fold (0.8, 1.7; P = 0.384) and 0.9-fold (0.8, 1.1; P = 0.190), respectively]. This supported the in vitro data indicating that GDCA-S is a more OATP1B1-selective substrate (versus GCDCA-S). It is concluded that GCDCA-S and GDCA-S are viable plasma-based OATP1B1/3 biomarkers, but they are both less OATP1B1-selective when compared to their corresponding 3-O-glucuronides (GCDCA-3G and GDCA-3G). Additional studies are needed to determine their utility versus more established biomarkers, such as coproporphyrin I, for assessing inhibitors with different OATP1B1 (versus OATP1B3) inhibition signatures.

Abstract
Studies on targeted antivirals for treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the cause of the ongoing pandemic, are limited. PF-07304814 (lufotrelvir) is the phosphate prodrug of PF-00835231, a protease inhibitor targeting the 3C-like protease of SARS-CoV-2. This phase 1 study evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of single ascending intravenous doses of lufotrelvir (continuous 24-hour infusion of 50, 150, 500, or 700 mg) versus placebo in healthy volunteers (2 interleaving cohorts: 1, n = 8; 2, n = 7). Each dosing period was separated by a washout interval (≥5 days). Treatment-emergent adverse events, PK, and biomarker concentrations were estimated from plasma/urine samples. Lufotrelvir was administered to 15 volunteers (mean [SD] age 39.7 [11.8] years). No serious adverse events, discontinuations, or deaths were reported. Mean maximum observed concentration of PF-00835231 (active moiety; 97.0 ng/mL to 1288 ng/mL) were observed between median time to maximum concentration of 14 to 16 hours after the start of the lufotrelvir infusion. Near-maximum plasma concentrations of PF-00835231 were observed ≈6 hours after infusion start and sustained until infusion end. PF-00835231 plasma concentrations declined rapidly after infusion end (mean terminal half-life: 500 mg, 2.0 hours; 700 mg, 1.7 hours). Approximately 9%-11% of the dose was recovered in urine as PF-00835231 across doses. A continuous, single-dose, 24-hour infusion of lufotrelvir (50-700 mg) was rapidly converted to PF-00835231 (active moiety), with dose-proportional PK exposures and no significant safety concerns. A daily, 24-hour continuous infusion of 270 to 350 mg is expected to maintain PF-00835231 concentration at steady state/above effective antiviral concentrations. Further studies exploring lufotrelvir efficacy in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 are ongoing.

Abstract
In recent years, various endogenous compounds have been proposed as putative biomarkers for the hepatic uptake transporters OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 that have the potential to predict transporter-mediated drug–drug interactions (DDIs). However, these compounds have often been identified from top–down strategies and have not been fully utilized as a substitute for traditional DDI studies. In an attempt to eliminate observer bias in biomarker selection, we applied a bottom–up, untargeted metabolomics screening approach in mice and found that plasma levels of the conjugated bile acid chenodeoxycholate-24-glucuronide (CDCA-24G) are particularly sensitive to deletion of the orthologous murine transporter Oatp1b2 (31-fold increase vs. wild type) or the entire Oatp1a/1b(−/−)cluster (83-fold increased), whereas the humanized transgenic overexpression of hepatic OATP1B1 or OATP1B3 resulted in the partial restoration of transport function. Validation studies with the OATP1B1/OATP1B3 inhibitors rifampin and paclitaxel in vitro as well as in mice and human subjects confirmed that CDCA-24G is a sensitive and rapid response biomarker to dose-dependent transporter inhibition. Collectively, our study confirmed the ability of CDCA-24G to serve as a sensitive and selective endogenous biomarker of OATP1B-type transport function and suggests a template for the future development of biomarkers for other clinically important xenobiotic transporters.

Abstract
Aim: Novel urinary biomarker evaluation approaches to support inhibition assessment for renal transporters (e.g., OCT2, multidrug and toxin extrusion proteins [MATEs]). Methods: Highly sensitive and robust hydrophilic interaction chromatography-MS/high-resolution MS assays, for urine and plasma, were developed and characterized to evaluate transporter biomarkers including N1-methyladenosine and N1-methylnicotinamide. Results: The assays were simple and reliable with good selectivity and sensitivity, and successfully supported a clinical drug-drug interaction study with a drug candidate that presented in vitro inhibition of OCT2 and MATEs. Conclusion: The multiplexed assays enable a performance comparison, including biomarker specificity and sensitivity, that should increase the confidence in early clinical OCT2/MATEs drug-drug interaction risk assessment.

Abstract
Drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) is an important branch of pharmaceutical sciences. The nature of ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion) and PK (pharmacokinetics) inquiries during drug discovery and development has evolved in recent years from being largely descriptive to seeking a more quantitative and mechanistic understanding of the fate of drug candidates in biological systems. Tremendous progress has been made in the past decade, not only in the characterization of physiochemical properties of drugs that influence their ADME, target organ exposure, and toxicity, but also in the identification of design principles that can minimize drug-drug interaction (DDI) potentials and reduce the attritions. The importance of membrane transporters in drug disposition, efficacy, and safety, as well as the interplay with metabolic processes, has been increasingly recognized. Dramatic increases in investments on new modalities beyond traditional small and large molecule drugs, such as peptides, oligonucleotides, and antibody-drug conjugates, necessitated further innovations in bioanalytical and experimental tools for the characterization of their ADME properties. In this review, we highlight some of the most notable advances in the last decade, and provide future perspectives on potential major breakthroughs and innovations in the translation of DMPK science in various stages of drug discovery and development.

Abstract
Endogenous biomarkers for transporter-mediated drug-drug interaction (DDI) predictions represent a promising approach to facilitate and improve conventional DDI investigations in clinical studies. This approach requires high sensitivity and specificity of biomarkers for the targets of interest (e.g., transport proteins), as well as rigorous characterization of their kinetics, which can be accomplished utilizing physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop PBPK models of the endogenous organic cation transporter (OCT)2 and multidrug and toxin extrusion protein (MATE)1 substrates creatinine and N1 -methylnicotinamide (NMN). Additionally, this study aimed to predict kinetic changes of the biomarkers during administration of the OCT2 and MATE1 perpetrator drugs trimethoprim, pyrimethamine, and cimetidine. Whole-body PBPK models of creatinine and NMN were developed utilizing studies investigating creatinine or NMN exogenous administration and endogenous synthesis. The newly developed models accurately describe and predict observed plasma concentration-time profiles and urinary excretion of both biomarkers. Subsequently, models were coupled to the previously built and evaluated perpetrator models of trimethoprim, pyrimethamine, and cimetidine for interaction predictions. Increased creatinine plasma concentrations and decreased urinary excretion during the drug-biomarker interactions with trimethoprim, pyrimethamine, and cimetidine were well-described. An additional inhibition of NMN synthesis by trimethoprim and pyrimethamine was hypothesized, improving NMN plasma and urine interaction predictions. To summarize, whole-body PBPK models of creatinine and NMN were built and evaluated to better assess creatinine and NMN kinetics while uncovering knowledge gaps for future research. The models can support investigations of renal transporter-mediated DDIs during drug development.

Abstract
Drug-drug interaction (DDI) data for small molecular drugs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2020 (N = 40) were analyzed using the University of Washington Drug Interaction Database. The mechanism(s) and clinical relevance of these interactions were characterized based on information available in the new drug application reviews. About 180 positive clinical studies defined as mean area under the curve ratios (AUCRs) ≥1.25 for inhibition DDIs or pharmacogenetic studies and ≤0.8 for induction DDIs were then fully analyzed. Oncology was the most represented therapeutic area, including 30% of 2020 approvals. As victim drugs, inhibition and induction of CYP3A explained most of all observed clinical interactions. Three sensitive substrates were identified: avapritinib (CYP3A), lonafarnib (CYP3A), and relugolix (P-glycoprotein), with AUCRs of 7.00, 5.07, and 6.25 when coadministered with itraconazole, ketoconazole, and erythromycin, respectively. As precipitants, three drugs were considered strong inhibitors of enzymes (AUCR ≥ 5): cedazuridine for cytidine deaminase and lonafarnib and tucatinib for CYP3A. No drug showed strong inhibition of transporters. No strong inducer of enzymes or transporters was identified. As expected, all DDIs with AUCRs ≥5 or ≤0.2 and almost all those with AUCRs of 2-5 and 0.2-0.5 triggered dosing recommendations in the drug label. Overall, all 2020 drugs found to be either sensitive substrates or strong inhibitors of enzymes or transporters were oncology treatments, underscoring the need for effective DDI management strategies in patients with cancer often receiving polytherapy. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This minireview provides a thorough and specific overview of the most significant pharmacokinetic-based DDI data observed (or expected) with small molecular drugs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2020. It will help to better understand mitigation strategies to manage the DDI risks in the clinic.

Acute and Chronic Effects of Rifampin on Letermovir Suggest Transporter Inhibition and Induction Contribute to Letermovir Pharmacokinetics. Clin Pharmacol Ther 2021; 111:664-675.

Abstract
Rifampin has acute inhibitory and chronic inductive effects that can cause complex drug-drug interactions. Rifampin inhibits transporters including organic-anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B and P-glycoprotein (P-gp), and induces enzymes and transporters including cytochrome P450 3A, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT)1A, and P-gp. This study aimed at separating inhibitory and inductive effects of rifampin on letermovir disposition and elimination (indicated for cytomegalovirus prophylaxis in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients). Letermovir is a substrate of UGT1A1/3, P-gp, and OATP1B, with its clearance primarily mediated by OATP1B. Letermovir (single-dose) administered with rifampin (single-dose) resulted in increased letermovir exposure through transporter inhibition. Chronic coadministration with rifampin (inhibition plus potential OATP1B induction) resulted in modestly decreased letermovir exposure versus letermovir alone. Letermovir administered 24 hours after last rifampin dose (potential OATP1B induction) resulted in markedly decreased letermovir exposure. These data suggest rifampin may induce transporters that clear letermovir; the modestly reduced letermovir exposure with chronic rifampin coadministration likely reflects the net effect of inhibition and induction. OATP1B endogenous biomarkers coproporphyrin (CP) I and glycochenodeoxycholic acid-sulfate (GCDCA-S) were also analyzed; their exposures increased after single-dose rifampin plus letermovir, consistent with OATP1B inhibition and prior reports of inhibition by rifampin alone. CP I and GCDCA-S exposures were substantially reduced with letermovir administered 24 hours after the last dose of rifampin versus letermovir plus chronic rifampin coadministration, This study suggests that OATP1B induction may contribute to reduced letermovir exposure after chronic rifampin administration, although given the complexity of letermovir disposition, alternative mechanisms are not fully excluded.

Abstract
Membrane transporters play an important role in the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of xenobiotic substrates, as well as endogenous compounds. The evaluation of transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is an important consideration during the drug development process and can guide the safe use of polypharmacy regimens in clinical practice. In recent years, several endogenous substrates of drug transporters have been identified as potential biomarkers for predicting changes in drug transport function and the potential for DDIs associated with drug candidates in early phases of drug development. These biomarker-driven investigations have been applied in both preclinical and clinical studies and proposed as a predictive strategy that can be supplanted in order to conduct prospective DDIs trials. Here we provide an overview of this rapidly emerging field, with particular emphasis on endogenous biomarkers recently proposed for clinically relevant uptake transporters.

Evaluation of Normothermic Machine Perfusion of Porcine Livers as a Novel Preclinical Model to Predict Biliary Clearance and Transporter-Mediated Drug-Drug Interactions Using Statins. Drug Metab Dispos 2021; 49:780-789. [PMID: 34330719 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.121.000521] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2021] [Accepted: 06/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
There is a lack of translational preclinical models that can predict hepatic handling of drugs. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the applicability of normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) of porcine livers as a novel ex vivo model to predict hepatic clearance, biliary excretion, and plasma exposure of drugs. For this evaluation, we dosed atorvastatin, pitavastatin, and rosuvastatin as model drugs to porcine livers and studied the effect of common drug-drug interactions (DDIs) on these processes. After 120 minutes of perfusion, 0.104 mg atorvastatin (n = 3), 0.140 mg pitavastatin (n = 5), or 1.4 mg rosuvastatin (n = 4) was administered to the portal vein, which was followed 120 minutes later by a second bolus of the statin coadministered with OATP perpetrator drug rifampicin (67.7 mg). After the first dose, all statins were rapidly cleared from the circulation (hepatic extraction ratio > 0.7) and excreted into the bile. Presence of human-specific atorvastatin metabolites confirmed the metabolic capacity of porcine livers. The predicted biliary clearance of rosuvastatin was found to be closer to the observed biliary clearance. A rank order of the DDI between the various systems upon coadministration with rifampicin could be observed: atorvastatin (AUC ratio 7.2) > rosuvastatin (AUC ratio 3.1) > pitavastatin (AUC ratio 2.6), which is in good agreement with the clinical DDI data. The results from this study demonstrated the applicability of using NMP of porcine livers as a novel preclinical model to study OATP-mediated DDI and its effect on hepatic clearance, biliary excretion, and plasma profile of drugs. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This study evaluated the use of normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) of porcine livers as a novel preclinical model to study hepatic clearance, biliary excretion, plasma (metabolite) profile of statins, and OATP-mediated DDI. Results showed that NMP of porcine livers is a reliable model to study OATP-mediated DDI. Overall, the rank order of DDI severity indicated in these experiments is in good agreement with clinical data, indicating the potential importance of this new ex vivo model in early drug discovery.

Abstract
A simple, fast and precise LC-MS/MS method for the quantitation of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor gilteritinib was developed and validated for micro-volumes of mouse plasma. The assay procedure involved a one-step extraction of gilteritinib and the internal standard [2H5]-gilteritinib with acetonitrile. An Accucore aQ column was used to separate analytes using a gradient elution delivered at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min, and a total run time of 2.5 min. Validation studies with quality control samples processed on consecutive days revealed that values for intra-day and inter-day precision were <7.04%, with an accuracy of 101-108%. Linear responses were observed over the entire calibration curve range (up to 500 ng/mL), and the lower limit of quantification was 5 ng/mL. The developed method was successfully used to examine the pharmacokinetics of oral gilteritinib in wild-type mice and mice lacking the organic cation transporters OCT1, OCT2, and MATE1 to further understand mechanisms contributing to drug-drug interactions and causes of inter-individual pharmacokinetic variability.

Abstract
Genome-wide association studies have identified an association between isobutyrylcarnitine (IBC) and organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1) genotypes. Higher IBC blood concentrations in humans with active OCT1 genotypes and experimental studies with mouse OCT1 suggested an OCT1-mediated efflux of IBC. In this study, we wanted to confirm the suggested use of IBC as an endogenous biomarker of OCT1 activity and contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms behind the association between blood concentrations of carnitine derivatives and OCT1 genotype. Blood and urine IBC concentrations were quantified in healthy volunteers regarding intra- and interindividual variation and correlation with OCT1 genotype and with pharmacokinetics of known OCT1 substrates. Furthermore, IBC formation and transport were studied in cell lines overexpressing OCT1 and its naturally occurring variants. Carriers of high-activity OCT1 genotypes had about 3-fold higher IBC blood concentrations and 2-fold higher amounts of IBC excreted in urine compared to deficient OCT1. This was likely due to OCT1 function, as indicated by the fact that IBC correlated with the pharmacokinetics of known OCT1 substrates, like fenoterol, and blood IBC concentrations declined with a 1 h time delay following peak concentrations of the OCT1 substrate sumatriptan. Thus, IBC is a suitable endogenous biomarker reflecting both, human OCT1 (hOCT1) genotype and activity. While murine OCT1 (mOCT1) was an efflux transporter of IBC, hOCT1 exhibited no IBC efflux activity. Inhibition experiments confirmed this data showing that IBC and other acylcarnitines, like butyrylcarnitine, 2-methylbutyrylcarnitine, and hexanoylcarnitine, showed reduced efflux upon inhibition of mOCT1 but not of hOCT1. IBC and other carnitine derivatives are endogenous biomarkers of hOCT1 genotype and phenotype. However, in contrast to mice, the mechanisms underlying the IBC-OCT1 correlation in humans is apparently not directly the OCT1-mediated efflux of IBC. A plausible explanation could be that hOCT1 mediates cellular concentrations of specific regulators or co-substrates in lipid and energy metabolism, which is supported by our in vitro finding that at baseline intracellular IBC concentration is about 6-fold lower alone by OCT1 overexpression.

Population pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation to support qualification of pyridoxic acid as endogenous biomarker of OAT1/3 renal transporters.

Abstract
Renal clearance of many drugs is mediated by renal organic anion transporters OAT1/3 and inhibition of these transporters may lead to drug‐drug interactions (DDIs). Pyridoxic acid (PDA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) were indicated as potential biomarkers of OAT1/3. The objective of this study was to develop a population pharmacokinetic model for PDA and HVA to support biomarker qualification. Simultaneous fitting of biomarker plasma and urine data in the presence and absence of potent OAT1/3 inhibitor (probenecid, 500 mg every 6 h) was performed. The impact of study design (multiple vs. single dose of OAT1/3 inhibitor) and ability to detect interactions in the presence of weak/moderate OAT1/3 inhibitors was investigated, together with corresponding power calculations. The population models developed successfully described biomarker baseline and PDA/HVA OAT1/3‐mediated interaction data. No prominent effect of circadian rhythm on PDA and HVA individual baseline levels was evident. Renal elimination contributed greater than 80% to total clearance of both endogenous biomarkers investigated. Estimated probenecid unbound in vivo OAT inhibitory constant was up to 6.4‐fold lower than in vitro values obtained with PDA as a probe. The PDA model was successfully verified against independent literature reported datasets. No significant difference in power of DDI detection was found between multiple and single dose study design when using the same total daily dose of 2000 mg probenecid. Model‐based simulations and power calculations confirmed sensitivity and robustness of plasma PDA data to identify weak, moderate, and strong OAT1/3 inhibitors in an adequately powered clinical study to support optimal design of prospective clinical OAT1/3 interaction studies.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is a debilitating toxicity that adversely affects patient quality and course of treatment. Recent findings have demonstrated that the etiology of peripheral neuropathy is dependent on transporter-mediated accumulation in dorsal root ganglia, and targeting this mechanism can afford neurological protection without compromising therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Recent studies have focused on coproporphyrin (CP)-I and CP-III (CPs) as endogenous biomarkers for organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs). Previous data showed that CPs are also substrates of multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP/Mrp) 2 and 3. This study was designed to examine the impact of loss of Mrp2 function on the routes of excretion of endogenous CPs in wild-type (WT) Wistar compared to Mrp2-deficient TR- rats. To exclude possible confounding effects of rat Oatps, the transport of CPs was investigated in Oatp-overexpressing HeLa cells. Results indicated that CPs are substrates of rodent Oatp1b2, and that CP-III is a substrate of Oatp2b1. Quantitative targeted absolute proteomic (QTAP) analysis revealed no differences in Oatps, but an expected significant increase in Mrp3 protein levels in TR- compared to WT rat livers. CP-I and CP-III concentrations measured by LC-MS/MS were elevated in TR- compared to WT rat liver, while CP-I and CP-III estimated biliary clearance was decreased 75- and 840-fold in TR- compared to WT rats, respectively. CP-III concentrations were decreased 14-fold in the feces of TR- compared to WT rats, but differences in CP-I were not significant. In summary, the disposition of CPs was markedly altered by loss of Mrp2 and increased Mrp3 function as measured in TR- rats.

Abstract
Renal impairment (RI) is known to influence the pharmacokinetics of nonrenally eliminated drugs, although the mechanism and clinical impact is poorly understood. We assessed the impact of RI and single dose oral rifampin (RIF) on the pharmacokinetics of CYP3A, OATP1B, P-gp, and BCRP substrates using a microdose cocktail and OATP1B endogenous biomarkers. RI alone had no impact on midazolam (MDZ), maximum plasma concentration (Cmax ), and area under the curve (AUC), but a progressive increase in AUC with RI severity for dabigatran (DABI), and up to ~2-fold higher AUC for pitavastatin (PTV), rosuvastatin (RSV), and atorvastatin (ATV) for all degrees of RI was observed. RIF did not impact MDZ, had a progressively smaller DABI drug-drug interaction (DDI) with increasing RI severity, a similar 3.1-fold to 4.4-fold increase in PTV and RSV AUC in healthy volunteers and patients with RI, and a diminishing DDI with RI severity from 6.1-fold to 4.7-fold for ATV. Endogenous biomarkers of OATP1B (bilirubin, coproporphyrin I/III, and sulfated bile salts) were generally not impacted by RI, and RIF effects on these biomarkers in RI were comparable or larger than those in healthy volunteers. The lack of a trend with RI severity of PTV and several OATP1B biomarkers, suggests that mechanisms beyond RI directly impacting OATP1B activity could also be considered. The DABI, RSV, and ATV data suggest an impact of RI on intestinal P-gp, and potentially BCRP activity. Therefore, DDI data from healthy volunteers may represent a worst-case scenario for clinically derisking P-gp and BCRP substrates in the setting of RI.

Abstract
The third trimester of pregnancy is related to physiological changes that can modify the process of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion and, consequently, the efficacy and toxicity of drugs. However, little is known about furosemide pharmacokinetics and placental transfer in pregnancy. This study evaluated the maternal-fetal pharmacokinetics and distribution to amniotic fluid of furosemide in hypertensive parturient women under cesarean section. Twelve hypertensive parturient women under methyldopa (250 mg/8 h) and/or pindolol (10 mg/12 h) treatment received a 40-mg single oral dose of furosemide 1 to 10 hours before delivery by cesarean section. Blood and urine samples were collected for 12 hours after furosemide administration. At delivery, samples were obtained from maternal and umbilical cord blood (n = 8) to assess the transplacental transfer. Amniotic fluid (n = 4) was collected at the time of delivery. The following furosemide pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained as median (interquartile range): Cmax , 403 ng/mL (229 to 715 ng/mL); Tmax , 2.00 hours (1.50 to 4.83 hours); elimination half-life (t1/2 ), 2.50 hours (1.77 to 2.97 hours); AUC0-12 h , 1366 ng⋅h/mL (927 to 2531 ng⋅h/mL); AUC0-∞ , 1580 ng⋅h/mL (1270 to 2881 ng⋅h/mL); CL/F 25.3 L/h (13.8 to 31.4 L/h); CLR, 2.50 L/h (1.77 to 2.97 L/h); CLNR, 22.7 L/h (12.1 to 25.6 L/h); and Vd /F 82.8 L (34.4 to 173 L). The transplacental transfer of furosemide was 0.43 (0.10 to 0.73), and the amniotic fluid concentration was 11.0 ng/mL (5.51 to 14.6 ng/mL). From a clinical point of view, these results suggest that substrates of uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase isoenzymes such as furosemide may have increased clearance during pregnancy and could require dose adjustment in this population.

Abstract
Quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) has emerged as a transformative science in drug discovery and development. It is now time to fully rethink the biological functions of drug metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) and transporters within the framework of QSP models. The large set of DME and transporter genes are generally considered from the perspective of the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of drugs. However, there is a growing amount of data on the endogenous physiology of DMEs and transporters. Recent studies—including systems biology analyses of “omics” data as well as metabolomics studies—indicate that these enzymes and transporters, which are often among the most highly expressed genes in tissues like liver, kidney, and intestine, have coordinated roles in fundamental biological processes. Multispecific DMEs and transporters work together with oligospecific and monospecific ADME proteins in a large multiorgan remote sensing and signaling network. We use the Remote Sensing and Signaling Theory (RSST) to examine the roles of DMEs and transporters in intratissue, interorgan, and interorganismal communication via metabolites and signaling molecules. This RSST‐based view is applicable to bile acids, uric acid, eicosanoids, fatty acids, uremic toxins, and gut microbiome products, among other small organic molecules of physiological interest. Rooting this broader perspective of DMEs and transporters within QSP may facilitate an improved understanding of fundamental biology, physiologically based pharmacokinetics, and the prediction of drug toxicities based upon the interplay of these ADME proteins with key pathways in metabolism and signaling. The RSST‐based view should also enable more tailored pharmacotherapy in the setting of kidney disease, liver disease, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes. We further discuss the pharmaceutical and regulatory implications of this revised view through the lens of systems physiology.

Abstract
With the internationally growing popularity of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), TCM-induced nephropathy has attracted public attention. Minimizing this toxicity is an important issue for future research. Typical nephrotoxic TCM drugs such as Aristolochic acid, Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f, Rheum officinale Baill, and cinnabar mainly damage renal proximal tubules or cause interstitial nephritis. Transporters in renal proximal tubule are believed to be critical in the disposition of xenobiotics. In this review, we provide information on the alteration of renal transporters by nephrotoxic TCMs, which may be helpful for understanding the nephrotoxic mechanism of TCMs and reducing adverse effects. Studies have proven that when administering nephrotoxic TCMs, the expression or function of renal transporters is altered, especially organic anion transporter 1 and 3. The alteration of these transporters may enhance the accumulation of toxic drugs or the dysfunction of endogenous toxins and subsequently sensitize the kidney to injury. Transporters-related drug combination and clinical biomarkers supervision to avoid the risk of future toxicity are proposed.

Abstract
Inflammation elicited by viral mimetic poly I:C has been shown to impose changes in the expression of drug transporters in the placenta and maternal liver in rats at term pregnancy. This was associated with altered drug disposition in the mother and fetus. Renal transporters play an important role in the elimination of several drugs taken by pregnant women. We examined the impact of poly I:C on the expression of renal transporters in pregnant rats at term. Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats received single intraperitoneal dose of either poly I:C (5 mg/kg) or saline at gestation day 18 (n = 8/group). Animals were euthanized 24 h after the injection. The mRNA and protein expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and transporters were measured by qRT-PCR and western blot. Poly I:C caused a fourfold increase in the mRNA of IL-6 in the kidney. As compared to saline controls, the mRNA expression of Mrp2, Bcrp, Octn1, Oat1, Oat2, Oat3, Urat1, Oatp4c1, and Pept2 was downregulated, whereas the Ent1 mRNA was increased. Protein expression of Bcrp, Urat1 and Pept2 were significantly decreased. While there was a trend towards reduced Mrp2, Oat2 and Oat3 protein expression, this did not reach significance. Poly I:C did not impact mRNA levels of Mdr1a, Mdr1b, Mrp4, Oct1, Oct2, Oct3, Octn2, Mate1, Ent2 or Pept1. Viral-induced inflammation mediates significant changes in the expression of several key drug transporters in the kidney of pregnant rats. Many clinically important drugs are substrates for these transporters. Therefore, inflammation-mediated alterations in transporter expression could affect their maternal and fetal disposition.

Abstract
Clinical reports on transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions (TP-DDIs) have rapidly accumulated and regulatory guidance/guidelines recommend that sponsors consider performing quantitative prediction of TP-DDI risks in the process of drug development. In vitro experiments for characterizing the function of drug transporters have been established and various parameters such as the inhibition constant (Ki) of drugs and the intrinsic uptake/efflux clearance for a certain transporter can be obtained. However, many reports have indicated large discrepancies between the parameters estimated from in vitro experiments and those rationally explaining drug pharmacokinetics. Thus, it is essential to evaluate directly the function of each transporter isoform in vivo in humans. At present, several transporter substrate drugs and endogenous compounds have been recognized as probe substrates for a specific transporter and transporter function was evaluated by monitoring the plasma and urine concentration of those probes; however, few compounds specifically transported via a single transporter isoform have been found. For monitoring the intraorgan concentration of drugs, positron emission tomography can be a powerful tool and clinical examples for quantification of in vivo transporter function have been published. In this review, novel methodologies for in vivo phenotyping of transporter function are summarized.

Abstract
Many drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are based on alterations of the plasma concentrations of a victim drug due to another drug causing inhibition and/or induction of the metabolism or transporter-mediated disposition of the victim drug. In the worst case, such interactions cause more than tenfold increases or decreases in victim drug exposure, with potentially life-threatening consequences. There has been tremendous progress in the predictability and modeling of DDIs. Accordingly, the combination of modeling approaches and clinical studies is the current mainstay in evaluation of the pharmacokinetic DDI risks of drugs. In this paper, we focus on the methodology of clinical studies on DDIs involving drug metabolism or transport. We specifically present considerations related to general DDI study designs, recommended enzyme and transporter index substrates and inhibitors, pharmacogenetic perspectives, index drug cocktails, endogenous substrates, limited sampling strategies, physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling, complex DDIs, methodological pitfalls, and interpretation of DDI information.

Abstract
Understanding transporter‐mediated drug–drug interactions is an integral part of risk assessment in drug development. Recent studies support the use of hexadecanedioate (HDA), tetradecanedioate (TDA), coproporphyrin (CP)‐I, and CP‐III as clinical biomarkers for evaluating organic anion‐transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B1 (SLCO1B1) inhibition. The current study investigated the effect of OATP1B1 genotype c.521T>C (OATP1B1‐Val174Ala) on the extent of interaction between cyclosporin A (CsA) and pravastatin, and associated endogenous biomarkers of the transporter (HDA, TDA, CP‐I, and CP‐III), in 20 healthy volunteers. The results show that the levels of each clinical biomarker and pravastatin were significantly increased in plasma samples of the volunteers following administration of pravastatin plus CsA compared with pravastatin plus placebo. The overall fold change in the area under the concentration–time curve (AUC) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) was similar among the four biomarkers (1.8–2.5‐fold, paired t‐test P value < 0.05) in individuals who were homozygotes or heterozygotes of the major allele, c.521T. However, the fold change in AUC and Cmax for HDA and TDA was significantly abolished in the subjects who were c.521‐CC, whereas the respective fold change in AUC and Cmax for pravastatin and CP‐I and CP‐III were slightly weaker in individuals who were c.521‐CC compared with c.521‐TT/TC genotypes. In addition, this study provides the first evidence that SLCO1B1 c.521T>C genotype is significantly associated with CP‐I but not CP‐III levels. Overall, these results suggest that OATP1B1 genotype can modulate the effects of CsA on biomarker levels; the extent of modulation differs among the biomarkers.

Abstract
The present study examined the significance of enterohepatic circulation and the effect of rifampicin [an inhibitor of organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1B (OATP1B)] on the plasma concentrations of bile acid-O-sulfates (glycochenodeoxycholate-O-sulfate, lithocholate-O-sulfate, glycolithocholate-O-sulfate, and taurolithocholate-O-sulfate) in monkeys and human liver-transplanted chimeric mice (PXB mouse). Rifampicin significantly increased the area under the curve of bile acid-O-sulfates in monkeys (13-69 times) and PXB mice (13-25 times) without bile flow diversion. Bile flow diversion reduced the concentration of plasma bile acid-O-sulfates under control conditions in monkeys and the concentration of plasma glycochenodeoxycholate-O-sulfate in PXB mice. It also diminished diurnal variation of plasma lithocholate-O-sulfate, glycolithocholate-O-sulfate, and taurolithocholate-O-sulfate in PXB mice under control conditions. Bile flow diversion did not affect the plasma concentration of bile acid-O-sulfates in monkeys and PXB mice treated with rifampicin. Plasma coproporphyrin I and III levels were constant in monkeys throughout the study, even with bile flow diversion. This study demonstrated that bile acid-O-sulfates are endogenous OATP1B biomarkers in monkeys and PXB mice. Enterohepatic circulation can affect the baseline levels of plasma bile acid-O-sulfates and modify the effect of OATP1B inhibition.

Abstract
It is now established that a drug's pharmacokinetics (PK) absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion (ADME) and drug-drug interaction (DDI) profile can be modulated by age, disease, and genotype. In order to facilitate subject phenotyping and clinical DDI assessment, therefore, various endogenous compounds (in plasma and urine) have been pursued as drug-metabolizing enzyme and transporter biomarkers. Compared with biomarkers, however, the topic of circulating extracellular vesicles as "liquid biopsy" has received little attention within the ADME community; most organs secrete nanovesicles (e.g., exosomes) into the blood that contain luminal "cargo" derived from the originating organ (proteins, messenger RNA, and microRNA). As such, ADME profiling of plasma exosomes could be leveraged to better define genotype-phenotype relationships and the study of ontogeny, disease, and complex DDIs. If methods to support the isolation of tissue-derived plasma exosomes are successfully developed and validated, it is envisioned that they will be used jointly with genotyping, biomarkers, and modeling tools to greatly progress translational PK-ADME-DDI science.

Abstract
Drug-drug interactions are a major concern not only during clinical practice, but also in drug development. Due to limitations of in vitro-in vivo predictions of transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions, multiple clinical Phase I drug-drug interaction studies may become necessary for a new molecular entity to assess potential drug interaction liabilities. This is a resource-intensive process and exposes study participants, who frequently are healthy volunteers without benefit from study treatment, to the potential risks of a new drug in development. Therefore, there is currently a major interest in new approaches for better prediction of transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions. In particular, researchers in the field attempt to identify endogenous compounds as biomarkers for transporter function, such as hexadecanedioate, tetradecanedioate, coproporphyrins I and III, or glycochenodeoxycholate sulfate for hepatic uptake via organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B or N1-methylnicotinamide for multidrug and toxin extrusion protein-mediated renal secretion. We summarize in this review the currently proposed biomarkers and potential limitations of the substances identified to date. Moreover, we suggest criteria based on current experiences, which may be used to assess the suitability of a biomarker for transporter function. Finally, further alternatives and supplemental approaches to classic drug-drug interaction studies are discussed.

Abstract
Drug transporters are widely expressed in organs and tissue barriers throughout human and animal bodies. Studies over the last two decades have identified various ATP-binding cassette and solute carrier transporters that play critical roles in the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination of drugs and xenobiotics. This special section contains more than 20 original manuscripts and reviews that cover the most recent advances in the areas of drug transporter research, including the basic biology and function of transporters, expression of drug transporters in organ and tissue barriers, the mechanisms underlying regulation of transporter expression, transporter-mediated drug disposition in animal models, and the development and utilization of new technologies in drug transporter study, as well as pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation to assess transporter involvement in drug disposition and drug-drug interactions. We believe that the topics covered in this special section will advance our understanding of the roles of transporters in drug disposition, efficacy, and safety.

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.

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
Endogenous biomarkers can be clinically relevant tools for the assessment of transporter function in vivo and corresponding drug-drug interactions (DDIs). The aim of this study was to perform systematic evaluation of plasma data obtained for 20 endogenous molecules in the same healthy subjects (n = 8-12) in the absence and presence of organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) inhibitor rifampicin (600 mg, single dose). The extent of rifampicin DDI magnitude [the ratio of the plasma concentration-time area under the curve (AUCR)], estimated fraction transported (fT), and baseline variability was compared across the biomarkers and relative to rosuvastatin and coproporphyrin I (CPI). Out of the 20 biomarkers investigated tetradecanedioate (TDA), hexadecanedioate (HDA), glycocholic acid, glycodeoxycholic acid (GDCA), taurodeoxycholic acid (TDCA), and coproporphyrin III (CPIII) showed the high AUCR (2.1-8.5) and fT (0.5-0.76) values, indicative of substantial OATP1B-mediated transport. A significant positive correlation was observed between the individual GDCA and TDCA AUCRs and the magnitude of rosuvastatin-rifampicin interaction. The CPI and CPIII AUCRs were significantly correlated, but no clear trend was established with the rosuvastatin AUCR. Moderate interindividual variability (15%-62%) in baseline exposure and AUCR was observed for TDA, HDA, and CPIII. In contrast, bile acids demonstrated high interindividual variability (69%-113%) and significant decreases in baseline plasma concentrations during the first 4 hours. This comprehensive analysis in the same individuals confirms that none of the biomarkers supersede CPI in the evaluation of OATP1B-mediated DDI risk. Monitoring of CPI and GDCA/TDCA may be beneficial for dual OATP1B/sodium-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide inhibitors with consideration of challenges associated with large inter- and intraindividual variability observed for bile acids. Benefit of monitoring combined biomarkers (CPI, one bile acid and one fatty acid) needs to be confirmed with larger data sets and against multiple OATP1B clinical probes and perpetrators.

Abstract
Quantitative prediction of the magnitude of transporter‐mediated clinical drug‐drug interactions (DDIs) solely from in vitro inhibition data remains challenging. The objective of the present work was to analyze the kinetic profile of an endogenous biomarker for organic anion‐transporting polypeptides 1B (OATP1B), coproporphyrin I (CPI), and to predict clinical DDIs with a probe OATP1B substrate (pravastatin) based on “in vivo” inhibition constants (Ki). The CPI kinetics in the presence and absence of strong and weak OATP1B inhibitors (rifampin and GDC‐0810) were described well with a one‐compartment model, and in vivo Ki were estimated. Clinical DDIs between pravastatin and these inhibitors were predicted using physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models coupled with the estimated in vivo Ki and predicted magnitude matched well with the observed DDIs. In conclusion, model‐based analysis of the CPI profile has the potential to quantitatively predict liability of a new molecular entity (NME) as an OATP1B inhibitor early in drug development.

Abstract
Developed as an oral anticancer drug to treat estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, GDC-0810 was shown to be a potent inhibitor of organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1B1 and 1B3 (OATP1B1/1B3) from an in vitro assay. A clinical study was conducted to assess the drug-drug interaction potential between GDC-0810 and pravastatin, which is a relatively selective and sensitive OATP1B1/1B3 substrate. Fifteen healthy female subjects of non-childbearing potential were enrolled in the study. On day 1 in period 1, a single 10-mg dose of pravastatin was administered to all subjects. Following a 4-day washout period, 600 mg of GDC-0810 was administered once daily on days 5 through 8 in period 2 to achieve steady-state concentrations. On day 7, a single dose of 10-mg pravastatin was coadministered with the 600-mg GDC-0810 dose. Concentrations of pravastatin (periods 1 and 2) and GDC-0810 (period 2 only) were quantified in blood samples and subsequently used to calculate the pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters. The pravastatin mean maximal concentration and area under the curve values were approximately 20% and 41% higher, respectively, following pravastatin coadministration with GDC-0810 compared to pravastatin alone. Based on the magnitude of change in this drug-drug interaction study, dose adjustments for pravastatin (and other OATP1B1/1B3 substrates) were not considered necessary when administered with GDC-0810. Retrospectively, the endogenous biomarkers of OATP1B1/1B3, coproporphyrin I and III, were also measured and showed changes comparable to those of pravastatin, indicating their utility in detecting weak inhibition of OATP1B1/1B3 in the clinical setting.

In a recent study, limited to South Asian Indian subjects (n = 12), coproporphyrin (CP) I and CPIII demonstrated properties appropriate for an organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B endogenous probe. The current studies were conducted in healthy volunteers of mixed ethnicities, including black, white, and Hispanic subjects, to better understand the utility of these biomarkers in broader populations. After oral administration with 600 mg rifampin, AUC(0-24h) values were 2.8-, 3.7-, and 3.6-fold higher than predose levels for CPI and 2.6-, 3.1-, and 2.4-fold higher for CPIII, for the three populations, respectively. These changes in response to rifampin were consistent with previous results. The sensitivity toward OATP1B inhibition was also investigated by evaluating changes of plasma CP levels in the presence of diltiazem and itraconazole [administered as part of an unrelated drug-drug interaction (DDI) investigation], two compounds that were predicted to have minimal inhibitory effect on OATP1B. Administration of diltiazem and itraconazole did not increase plasma CPI and CPIII concentrations relative to prestudy levels, in agreement with predictions from in vitro parameters. Additionally, the basal CP concentrations in subjects with SLCO1B1 c.521TT genotype were comparable to those with SLCO1B1 c.521TC genotype, similar to studies with probe substrates. However, subjects with SLCO1B1 c.388AG and c.388GG genotypes (i.e., increased OATP1B1 transport activity for certain substrates) had lower concentrations of CPI than those with SLCO1B1 c.388AA. Collectively, these findings provide further evidence supporting the translational value of CPI and CPIII as suitable endogenous clinical probes to gauge OATP1B activity and potential for OATP1B-mediated DDIs.
