Abstract
OBJECTIVES Linezolid is a commonly used antibiotic in the clinical treatment of gram-positive bacterial infections. The impacts of drug interactions on the pharmacokinetics of linezolid are often overlooked. This manuscript aims to review the medications that affect the pharmacokinetics of linezolid. METHODS In accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we queried the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library for publications from database establishment to November 3, 2023, using the search terms: "Linezolid" and "interaction," or "interact," or "drug-drug interaction," or "co-treatment," or "cotreatment," or "combined," or "combination." RESULTS A total of 24 articles were included. Among the reported medication interactions, rifampicin, levothyroxine, venlafaxine, and phenobarbital could reduce the concentration of linezolid; clarithromycin, digoxin, cyclosporine, proton pump inhibitors, and amiodarone could increase the concentration of linezolid, while aztreonam, phenylpropanolamine, dextromethorphan, antioxidant vitamins, and magnesium-containing antacids had no significant effects on linezolid pharmacokinetics. The ratio of mean (ROM) of linezolid AUC in co-treatment with rifampicin to monotherapy was 0.67 (95%CI 0.58-0.77) and 0.63 (95%CI 0.43-0.91), respectively, in 2 studies, and co-treatment with 500 mg clarithromycin to monotherapy was 1.81 (95%CI 1.49-2.13). CONCLUSIONS This systematic review found that numerous drugs have an impact on the pharmacokinetics of linezolid, and the purported main mechanism may be that linezolid is the substrate of P-glycoprotein. In clinical practice, it is prudent to pay attention to the changes in linezolid pharmacokinetics caused by interactions. Conducting therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is beneficial to improve efficacy and reduce adverse reactions of linezolid.

Hedya S, Charlton A, Leitch AC, Aljehani FA, Pinker B, Wright MC, Abdelghany TM. The methylimidazolium ionic liquid M8OI is a substrate for OCT1 and p-glycoprotein-1 in rat. Toxicol In Vitro 2023; 88:105550. [PMID: 36603777 DOI: 10.1016/j.tiv.2022.105550] [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: 08/24/2022] [Revised: 12/29/2022] [Accepted: 12/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
The methylimidazolium ionic liquid M8OI was recently found to be present in both the environment and man. In this study, M8OI disposition and toxicity were examined in an established rat progenitor-hepatocyte model. The progenitor B-13 cell was approx. 13 fold more sensitive to the toxic effects of M8OI than the hepatocyte B-13/H cell. However, this difference in sensitivity was not associated with a difference in metabolic capacities. M8OI toxicity was significantly decreased in a dose-dependent manner by co-addition of the OCT1 (SLC22A1) inhibitor clonidine, but not by OCT2 or OCT3 inhibitors in B-13 cells. M8OI toxicity was also dose-dependently increased by the co-addition of p-glycoprotein-1 (ABCB1B, multi drug resistant protein 1 (MDR1)) substrates/inhibitors. Excretion of B-13-loaded fluorophore Hoechst 33342 was also inhibited by the p-glycoproteins substrate cyclosporin A and by M8OI in a dose-dependent manner. Comparing levels of OCT and p-glycoprotein transcripts and proteins in B-13 and B-13/H cells suggest that the lower sensitivity to M8OI in B-13/H cells is predominantly associated with their higher expression of p-glycoprotein-1. These data together therefore suggest that a determinant in M8OI toxicity in rats is the expression and activity of the p-glycoprotein-1 transporter.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Direct-Acting Antiviral Agents (DAAs) provide safer, efficacious, tolerable, and curative therapy for women with hepatitis C. Their preferred safety and efficacy profile make them potential therapies for the elimination of perinatal transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV). However, DAAs are not currently recommended for use during pregnancy due to limited pharmacokinetic and safety data. AREAS COVERED This review covers the different DAA drug combinations, the available data on their pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties, how the physiology in pregnancy can potentially affect DAA drug disposition, known drug-drug interactions with DAAs, and available and planned epidemiological and pharmacokinetic studies on DAA use during pregnancy. Although no large randomized clinical trials or prospective cohort studies involving DAAs have been completed in pregnancy, the currently available studies demonstrate no significant changes in pharmacokinetics, and no major safety concerns in women with hepatitis C. EXPERT OPINION Initial pharmacokinetic and safety data suggest that DAAs have high efficacy and a low risk of adverse events during pregnancy. As more pharmacokinetic and epidemiologic data become available, DAAs could become a preferred option for treating HCV during pregnancy and elimination of perinatal transmission of hepatitis C virus.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ocular barriers hinder drug delivery and reduce drug bioavailability. This article focuses on enhancing drug absorption across the corneal and conjunctival epithelium. Both, transporter targeted prodrug formulations and nanomicellar strategy is proven to enhance the drug permeation of therapeutic agents across various ocular barriers. These strategies can increase aqueous drug solubility and stability of many hydrophobic drugs for topical ophthalmic formulations. AREAS COVERED The article discusses various ocular barriers, ocular influx, and efflux transporters. It elaborates various prodrug strategies used for enhancing drug absorption. Along with this, the article also describes nanomicellar formulation, its characteristic and advantages, and applications in for anterior and posterior segment drug delivery. EXPERT OPINION Prodrugs and nanomicellar formulations provide an effective strategy for improving drug absorption and drug bioavailability across various ocular barriers. It will be exciting to see the efficacy of nanomicelles for treating back of the eye disorders after their topical application. This is considered as a holy grail of ocular drug delivery due to the dynamic and static ocular barriers, restricting posterior entry of topically applied drug formulations.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance is a serious problem and a common cause of cancer treatment failure, leading to patient death. Although numerous reversal resistance inhibitors have been evaluated in preclinical or clinical trials, efficient and low-toxicity reversal agents have not been identified. In this study, a series of novel quinoline compound derivatives from NSC23925 were designed to inhibit P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Among them, YS-7a showed a stronger inhibitory effect against P-gp than verapamil, as a positive control, when co-incubated with chemotherapy drugs at minimally cytotoxic concentrations. YS-7a suppressed the P-gp transport function without affecting the expression of P-gp but stimulated the ATPase activity of P-gp in a dose-dependent manner. Next, molecular docking was used to predict the six most probable binding sites, namely, SER270, VAL273, VAL274, ILE354, VAL357, and PHE390. Moreover, YS-7a had no effect on cytochrome P450 3A4 activity and showed little toxicity to normal cells. In addition, combined treatment of YS-7a with vincristine showed a better inhibitory effect than the positive control verapamil in vivo without a negative effect on mouse weight. Overall, our results showed that YS-7a could reverse cancer multidrug resistance through the inhibition of P-gp transport function in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that YS-7a may be a novel therapeutic agent.

Abstract
Although amiodarone is considered the most effective antiarrhythmic agent, its use is limited by a wide variety of potential toxicities. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive "bench to bedside" overview of the ways amiodarone influences thyroid function. We performed a systematic search of MEDLINE to identify peer-reviewed clinical trials, randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses, and other clinically relevant studies. The search was limited to English-language reports published between 1950 and 2017. Amiodarone was searched using the terms adverse effects, hypothyroidism, myxedema, hyperthyroidism, thyroid storm, atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmia, and electrical storm. Google and Google scholar as well as bibliographies of identified articles were reviewed for additional references. We included 163 germane references in this review. Because amiodarone is one of the most frequently prescribed antiarrhythmic drugs in the United States, the mechanistic, diagnostic and therapeutic information provided is relevant for practicing clinicians in a wide range of medical specialties.

Abstract
Because of their lower bleeding risk and simplicity of use, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) could represent an interesting alternative to conventional anticoagulant treatment with vitamin K antagonists for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). P-glycoprotein (P-gp) plays a key role in DOAC pharmacokinetics. Type 5-phosphodiesterase inhibitors (PDE5is), a drug class commonly used in the treatment of PAH, have been shown to strongly inhibit P-gp. This work aimed to assess potential P-gp-mediated drug-drug interactions between PDE5is and DOACs using in vitro methods. A cellular model of drug transport assay, using P-gp-overexpressing Madin-Darby canine kidney cells (transfected with the human P-gp gene), was used to determine the bidirectional permeabilities of two DOACs (rivaroxaban and apixaban) in the absence and presence of increasing concentrations (0.5-100 µM) of three PDE5is (sildenafil, tadalafil, and vardenafil). Permeabilities and efflux ratios were calculated from DOAC concentrations, were measured with liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, and were subsequently used to determine the PDE5i percentage of inhibition and half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50 ). Rivaroxaban efflux was inhibited by 99%, 66%, and 100% with 100 µM sildenafil, tadalafil, and vardenafil, respectively. Similarly, apixaban efflux was inhibited by 97%, 74%, and 100%, respectively. The IC50 values of the three PDE5is were 8, 28, and 5 µM for rivaroxaban and 23, 15, and 3 µM for apixaban, respectively. This study showed strong in vitro inhibition of DOAC efflux by PDE5is. In vivo studies are required to determine the clinical relevance of these interactions.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the intestinal metabolism and absorption in a mini-Ussing chamber equipped with animal intestinal tissues, based on the transport index (TI). TI value was defined as the sum of drug amounts transported to the basal-side component (Xcorr) and drug amounts accumulated in the tissue (Tcorr), which are normalized by AUC of a drug in the apical compartment, as an index for drug absorption. Midazolam was used as a test compound for the evaluation of intestinal metabolism and absorption. The metabolite formulation of midazolam was observed in both rats and dogs. Ketoconazole inhibited the intestinal metabolism of midazolam in rats and improved its intestinal absorption to a statistically significant extent. Therefore, the mini-Ussing chamber, equipped with animal intestinal tissues, showed potential to use the evaluation of the intestinal metabolism and absorption, including the assessment of species differences.

Abstract
The global fight to stop tuberculosis (TB) remains a great challenge, particularly with the increase in drug-resistant strains and a lack of funding to support the development of new treatments. To bolster a precarious drug pipeline, we prepared a focused panel of eight pentafluorosulfanyl (SF5 ) compounds which were screened for their activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) H37Rv in three different assay conditions and media. All eight compounds had sub-micromolar potency, and four displayed MICs <100 nm. Seven compounds were evaluated against non-replicating and mono-drug-resistant Mtb, and for their ability to inhibit Mtb within the macrophage. The greatest potency was observed against intracellular Mtb (MIC <10 nm for three compounds), which is often the most challenging to target. In general, the SF5 -bearing compounds were very similar to their CF3 counterparts, with the major differences observed being their in vitro ADME properties. Two SF5 -bearing compounds were found to have greater protein binding than their corresponding CF3 counterparts, but were also less metabolized in human microsomes, resulting in longer half-lives.

Abstract
Rivaroxaban, a direct Factor Xa inhibitor, is indicated for stroke prevention in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF). Studies have revealed that the clearance of rivaroxaban is largely attributed to CYP3A4, CYP2J2 metabolism, and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux pathways. Amiodarone and dronedarone are antiarrhythmic agents employed in AF management. Amiodarone, dronedarone, and their major metabolites, N-desethylamiodarone (NDEA) and N-desbutyldronedarone (NDBD), demonstrate inhibitory effects on CYP3A4 and CYP2J2 with U.S. Food and Drug Administration-recommended probe substrates. In addition, both amiodarone and dronedarone are known P-gp inhibitors. Hence, the concomitant administration of these antiarrhythmic agents has the potential to augment the systemic exposure of rivaroxaban through simultaneous impairment of its clearance pathways. Currently, however, clinical data on the extent of these postulated drug-drug interactions are lacking. In this study, in vitro inhibition assays using rivaroxaban as the probe substrate demonstrated that both dronedarone and NDBD produced reversible inhibition as well as irreversible mechanism-based inactivation of CYP3A4- and CYP2J2-mediated metabolism of rivaroxaban. However, amiodarone and NDEA were observed to cause reversible inhibition as well as mechanism-based inactivation of CYP3A4 but not CYP2J2. In addition, amiodarone, NDEA, and dronedarone, but not NDBD, were determined to inhibit P-gp-mediated rivaroxaban transport. The in vitro inhibition parameters were fitted into a mechanistic static model, which predicted a 37% and 31% increase in rivaroxaban exposure due to the inhibition of hepatic and gut metabolism by amiodarone and dronedarone, respectively. A separate model quantifying the inhibition of P-gp-mediated efflux by amiodarone or dronedarone projected a 9% increase in rivaroxaban exposure.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter that plays a major role in cardiovascular drug disposition by effluxing a chemically and structurally diverse range of cardiovascular therapeutics. Unfortunately, drug-drug interactions (DDIs) with the transporter have become a major roadblock to effective cardiovascular drug administration because they can cause adverse drug reactions (ADRs) or reduce the efficacy of drugs. Cardiovascular ion channel inhibitors are particularly susceptible to DDIs and ADRs with Pgp because they often have low therapeutic indexes and are commonly coadministered with other drugs that are also Pgp substrates. DDIs from cardiovascular ion channel inhibitors with the transporter occur because of inhibition or induction of the transporter and the transporter's tissue and cellular localization. Inhibiting Pgp can increase absorption and reduce excretion of drugs, leading to elevated drug plasma concentrations and drug toxicity. In contrast, inducing Pgp can have the opposite effect by reducing the drug plasma concentration and its efficacy. A number of in vitro and in vivo studies have already demonstrated DDIs from several cardiovascular ion channel inhibitors with human Pgp and its animal analogs, including verapamil, digoxin, and amiodarone. In this review, Pgp-mediated DDIs and their effects on pharmacokinetics for different categories of cardiovascular ion channel inhibitors are discussed. This information is essential for improving pharmacokinetic predictions of cardiovascular therapeutics, for safer cardiovascular drug administration and for mitigating ADRs emanating from Pgp.

Abstract
AIMS The aims of this study are to apply a theory-based mechanistic model to describe the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of S- and R-warfarin. METHODS Clinical data were obtained from 264 patients. Total concentrations for S- and R-warfarin were measured by ultra-high performance liquid tandem mass spectrometry. Genotypes were measured using pyrosequencing. A sequential population PK parameter with data method was used to describe the international normalized ratio (INR) time course. Data were analyzed with NONMEM. Model evaluation was based on parameter plausibility and prediction-corrected visual predictive checks. RESULTS Warfarin PK was described using a one-compartment model. CYP2C9 *1/*3 genotype had reduced clearance for S-warfarin, but increased clearance for R-warfarin. The in vitro parameters for the relationship between prothrombin complex activity (PCA) and INR were markedly different (A = 0.560, B = 0.386) from the theory-based values (A = 1, B = 0). There was a small difference between healthy subjects and patients. A sigmoid Emax PD model inhibiting PCA synthesis as a function of S-warfarin concentration predicted INR. Small R-warfarin effects was described by competitive antagonism of S-warfarin inhibition. Patients with VKORC1 AA and CYP4F2 CC or CT genotypes had lower C50 for S-warfarin. CONCLUSION A theory-based PKPD model describes warfarin concentrations and clinical response. Expected PK and PD genotype effects were confirmed. The role of predicted fat free mass with theory-based allometric scaling of PK parameters was identified. R-warfarin had a minor effect compared with S-warfarin on PCA synthesis. INR is predictable from 1/PCA in vivo.

Abstract
Digoxin has been a key therapeutic for heart failure and atrial tachyarrhythmias for over 200 years following Withering's groundbreaking work depicting the therapeutic benefit of the common botanical foxglove in his 1785 monograph. The use of digoxin preceded any randomised evidence or even basic understanding of its mechanism of action. Over the past two decades, there has been mounting evidence further challenging the safety and efficacy of digoxin, while multiple other therapies for both heart failure and atrial tachyarrhythmias have proven to be more effective and safe. Altogether, digoxin still has an important role in contemporary pharmacotherapeutics, though its role remains controversial and should be reserved for selective patients and clinical situations, with careful attention to serum concentrations.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter that helps to protect several certain human organs from xenobiotic exposure. This efflux pump is also responsible for multi-drug resistance (MDR), an issue of the chemotherapy approach in the fight against cancer. Therefore, the discovery of P-gp inhibitors is considered one of the most popular strategies to reverse MDR in tumour cells and to improve therapeutic efficacy of commonly used cytotoxic drugs. Until now, several generations of P-gp inhibitors have been developed but they have largely failed in preclinical and clinical studies due to lack of selectivity, poor solubility and severe pharmacokinetic interactions. In this study, three models (SION, SIO, SIN) to classify specific 'true' P-gp inhibitors as well as three other models (CPBN, CPB1, CPN) to distinguish between P-gp inhibitors, CYP 3A inhibitors and co-inhibitors of these proteins with rather high accuracy values for the test set and the external set were generated based on counter-propagation neural networks (CPG-NN). Such three and four-class classification models helped provide more information about the bioactivities of compounds not only on one target (P-gp), but also on a combination of multiple targets (P-gp, CYP 3A).

Abstract
The limited value of in vitro toxicity data for the in vivo extrapolation has been often attributed to the lack of kinetic data. Here the in vitro kinetics of amiodarone (AMI) and its mono-N-desethyl (MDEA) metabolite was determined and modelled in primary human hepatocytes (PHH) and HepaRG cells, after single and repeated administration of clinically relevant concentrations. AMI bioavailability was influenced by adsorption to the plastic and the presence of protein in the medium (e.g. 10% serum protein reduced the uptake by half in HepaRG cells). The cell uptake was quick (within 3h), AMI metabolism was efficient and a dynamic equilibrium was reached in about a week after multiple dosing. In HepaRG cells the metabolic clearance was higher than in PHH and increased over time, as well as CYP3A4. The interindividual variability in MDEA production in PHHs was not proportional to the differences in CYP3A4 activities, suggesting the involvement of other CYPs and/or AMI-related CYP inhibition. After repeated treatment AMI showed a slight potential for bioaccumulation, whereas much higher intracellular MDEA levels accumulated over time, especially in the HepaRG cells, associated with occurrence of phospholipidosis. The knowledge of in vitro biokinetics is important to transform an actual in vitro concentration-effect into an in vivo dose-effect relationship by using appropriate modelling, thus improving the in vitro-to-in vivo extrapolation.

Abstract
Digoxin and midazolam are routinely used as probe drugs to measure in vivo activity of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and cytochrome P450 3A4/5 (CYP3A), respectively. We investigated whether digoxin and midazolam could be coadministered to simultaneously determine P-gp and CYP3A activity without a significant pharmacokinetic interaction. In a randomized crossover design, digoxin (0.5 mg oral) or midazolam (2.0 mg oral) was administered individually or in combination (digoxin 1 hour after midazolam) to 14 healthy volunteers. Blood and urine samples were collected for up to 48 hours. Pharmacokinetic parameters of digoxin, midazolam and 1'-OH midazolam were evaluated to determine the presence of an interaction. The geometric mean ratios of all measured pharmacokinetic parameters of digoxin and midazolam were not significantly affected by coadministration. Coadministration of digoxin and midazolam can be used to simultaneously phenotype P-gp and CYP3A activity without a significant pharmacokinetic interaction.

Abstract
Sucralose is a synthetic organochlorine sweetener (OC) that is a common ingredient in the world's food supply. Sucralose interacts with chemosensors in the alimentary tract that play a role in sweet taste sensation and hormone secretion. In rats, sucralose ingestion was shown to increase the expression of the efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and two cytochrome P-450 (CYP) isozymes in the intestine. P-gp and CYP are key components of the presystemic detoxification system involved in first-pass drug metabolism. The effect of sucralose on first-pass drug metabolism in humans, however, has not yet been determined. In rats, sucralose alters the microbial composition in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), with relatively greater reduction in beneficial bacteria. Although early studies asserted that sucralose passes through the GIT unchanged, subsequent analysis suggested that some of the ingested sweetener is metabolized in the GIT, as indicated by multiple peaks found in thin-layer radiochromatographic profiles of methanolic fecal extracts after oral sucralose administration. The identity and safety profile of these putative sucralose metabolites are not known at this time. Sucralose and one of its hydrolysis products were found to be mutagenic at elevated concentrations in several testing methods. Cooking with sucralose at high temperatures was reported to generate chloropropanols, a potentially toxic class of compounds. Both human and rodent studies demonstrated that sucralose may alter glucose, insulin, and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) levels. Taken together, these findings indicate that sucralose is not a biologically inert compound.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (Pgp or ABCB1) is an ABC transporter protein involved in intestinal absorption, drug metabolism, and brain penetration, and its inhibition can seriously alter a drug's bioavailability and safety. In addition, inhibitors of Pgp can be used to overcome multidrug resistance. Given this dual purpose, reliable in silico procedures to predict Pgp inhibition are of great interest. A large and accurate literature collection yielded more than 1200 structures; a model was then constructed using various molecular interaction field-based technologies, considering pharmacophoric features and those physicochemical properties related to membrane partitioning. High accuracy was demonstrated internally with two different validation sets and, moreover, using a number of molecules, for which Pgp inhibition was not experimentally available but was evaluated in-house. All of the validations confirmed the robustness of the model and its suitability to help medicinal chemists in drug discovery. The information derived from the model was rationalized as a pharmacophore for competitive Pgp inhibition.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance is defined as the resistance of a tumor cell to the cytotoxic action of divergent drugs used in chemotherapy. Dihydropyridines are a class of calcium channel antagonists that were discovered to have a multidrug resistance reversing effect and prompted investigations resulting in the synthesis of hundreds of new derivatives. Most of the investigators tried to achieve two goals: a decrease in Ca²(+) channel-blocking activity and an increase in the multidrug resistance reversing effect. Most of the synthesized compounds failed in the later stages of studies especially in clinical trials because of pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic limitations. Therefore, it will be necessary to include new methods, such as combinatorial synthesis, and, more importantly, to apply computational methods based on global structure-activity relationship models that consider all problems. Moreover, some compounds should be synthesized that are effective on several multidrug resistance targets.

Drug efflux transporters: P-gp, MRP, BCRP in conjunction with metabolizing enzymes (CYPs) are major factors in such interactions. Most effective combination antiretrovirals (ARV) therapy includes a PI or a NNRTI or two NRTI. Coadministration of such ARV may induce efflux transporters and/or CYP3A4 resulting in sub-therapeutic blood levels and therapeutic failure due to reduced absorption and/or increased metabolism. A similar prognosis is true for ARV-compounds and drugs of abuse combinations. Morphine and nicotine enhance CYP3A4 and MDR1 expression in vitro. A 2.5 fold rise of cortisol metabolite was evident in smokers relative to nonsmokers. Altered functions of efflux transporters and CYPs in response to ARV and drugs of abuse may result in altered drug absorption and metabolism. Appropriate in vitro models can be employed to predict such interactions. Influence of genetic polymorphism, SNP and inter-individual variation in drug response has been discussed. Complexity underlying the relationship between efflux transporters and CYP makes it difficult to predict the outcome of HAART as such, particularly when HIV patients taking drugs of abuse do not adhere to HAART regimens. HIV(+) pregnant women on HAART medications, indulging in drugs of abuse, may develop higher viral load due to such interactions and lead to increase in mother to child transmission of HIV. A multidisciplinary approach with clear understanding of mechanism of interactions may allow proper selection of regimens so that desired therapeutic outcome of HAART can be reached without any side effects.

Therapeutic drug monitoring of linezolid: a retrospective monocentric analysis. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2010; 54:4605-10.

Abstract
The objective of the present retrospective observational study carried out in patients receiving a standard dosage of linezolid and undergoing routine therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) was to assess the interindividual variability in plasma exposure, to identify the prevalence of attainment of optimal pharmacodynamics, and to define if an intensive program of TDM may be warranted in some categories of patients. Linezolid plasma concentrations (trough [C(min)] and peak [C(max)] levels) were analyzed by means of a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method, and daily drug exposure was estimated (daily area under the plasma concentration-time curve [AUC(24)]). The final database included 280 C(min) and 223 C(max) measurements performed in 92 patients who were treated with the fixed 600-mg dose every 12 h (q12h) intravenously (n = 58) or orally (n = 34). A wide variability was observed (median values [interquartile range]: 3.80 mg/liter [1.75 to 7.53 mg/liter] for C(min), 14.70 mg/liter [10.57 to 19.64] for C(max), and 196.08 mg·h/liter [144.02 to 312.10 mg·h/liter] for estimated AUC(24)). Linezolid C(min) was linearly correlated with estimated AUC(24) (r(2) = 0.85). Optimal pharmacodynamic target attainment (defined as C(min) of ≥2 mg/liter and/or AUC(24)/MIC(90) ratio of >80) was obtained in about 60 to 70% of cases, but potential overexposure (defined as C(min) of ≥10 mg/liter and/or AUC(24) of ≥400 mg·h/liter) was documented in about 12% of cases. A significantly higher proportion of cases with potential overexposure received cotreatment with omeprazole, amiodarone, or amlodipine. Our study suggests that the application of TDM might be especially worthwhile in about 30% of cases with the intent of avoiding either the risk of dose-dependent toxicity or that of treatment failure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report the potential clinically significant pharmacokinetic interaction between sirolimus and dronedarone. CASE SUMMARY A 67-year-old man status post-kidney transplant in 2004 was maintained on an immunosuppressive regimen consisting of sirolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, and prednisone. He had been maintained for more than 1 year on a stable dose of sirolimus (5 mg/day), with concentrations ranging between 5 and 13.5 ng/mL. The patient was admitted to the hospital with a complaint of bloody diarrhea; shortly after admission, he developed atrial fibrillation for which dronedarone 400 mg twice daily was initiated. Sirolimus concentrations obtained 3 days after initiation of dronedarone revealed a trough concentration that was increased by more than 3-fold (38.6 ng/mL) from his baseline trough concentration. After sirolimus was held for 6 days, the trough concentration was 7.8 ng/mL. The dosage was reduced to 1 mg/day; there was no need for further adjustment. DISCUSSION While the potential for an interaction between sirolimus and dronedarone is listed in the package insert of dronedarone, there are no documented reports of this interaction in the peer-reviewed literature. Since sirolimus is a narrow therapeutic index medication, information about the severity and magnitude of the interaction with dronedarone may help clinicians avoid therapeutic misadventures when this combination is employed. Our case clearly demonstrates a significant pharmacokinetic interaction between sirolimus and dronedarone. The Horn Drug Interaction Probability Scale indicates that the occurrence of an interaction between sirolimus and dronedarone in our case is probable. CONCLUSIONS Due to the potential for sirolimus toxicity and excessive immunosuppression, the concurrent use of dronedarone and sirolimus should be avoided when possible. If concurrent administration cannot be avoided, we suggest close monitoring and a 50-75% dose reduction of sirolimus prior to dronedarone initiation.

Abstract
Nifedipine (NFP) is an anti-hypersensitive drug and a well-known substrate of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), while cyclosporine (CSP) is a potent p-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor. P-gp is a drug transporter, which determines the absorption and bioavailability of many drugs that are substrates for P-gp. Drugs that induce or inhibit P-gp may have a profound effect on the absorption and pharmacokinetics (PK) of drugs transported by P-gp within the body, possibly compromising their bioavailability. But the role of P-gp in the NFP efflux and its impact on PK profile is not known. Hence in our present study we attempted to investigate the effect of CSP on oral absorption and PK of NFP. Rhodamine 123 (Rho 123), a known P-gp substrate was used as a positive control. Male Wistar rats (350-400 g) were used for the study. Rats were divided into 4 groups (n=6 each); one group was treated with vehicle (cremophor) followed by NFP (0.2 mg/kg; i.v. bolus) and the other group with CSP (10 mg/kg; i.v.) followed by NFP. Group 3 and 4 were treated with vehicle (cremophor) followed by Rho 123 (0.2 mg/kg, i.v.) and CSP (10 mg/kg; i.v.) followed by Rho 123 (0.2 mg/kg, i.v.) respectively. The blood samples were collected at 0, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 and 240 min after NFP administration. NFP concentrations in plasma were analyzed by LC-MS-MS and Rho 123 was analyzed by fluorimetric detector. NFP efflux was significantly decreased in CSP treated rats (49.1% decrease, P<0.05), while NFP concentration in plasma were not changed. However the decrease in NFP efflux did not show any significant changes in NFP PK parameters (T(max); 2.0 vs. 2.5 min, C(max); 0.084 vs. 0.076 microg/ml, T(1/2); 84.0 vs. 91.4 min, AUC(0-t); 4.183 vs. 3.467 microg h/ml, AUC(infinity); 5.915 vs. 4.769 microg h/ml, AUMC(0-t); 224.073 vs. 173.063 microg h/ml, AUMC(infinity); 776.871 vs. 575.038 microg h/ml, MRT(0-t); 53.608 vs. 49.538 microg h/ml, MRT(infinity); 118.194 vs. 115.246 microg h/ml, CL(tot); 0.0375 vs. 0.0433 l/h, Vd(ss); 3.999 vs. 4.641 l in NFP alone vs. CSP+NFP groups respectively). Thus the results indicate that NFP would belong to a group of P-gp substrate. The decrease in efflux of NFP by CSP, through inhibition of P-gp, into the intestinal lumen did not show any impact on PK. This could be due to the activity of other transporters and/or CYP3A4 may have more limiting role than P-gp on NFP metabolism and disposition that is why inhibiting P-gp did not lead to increase the bioavailability and PK alterations.

Abstract
Clinical studies of low-dose methotrexate (LDMTX) pharmacokinetics document increased plasma concentrations of MTX after co-administration of the drug with amiodarone or macrolide antibiotics. As drug-drug interactions may increase the toxicity of LDMTX, a rat model was used to follow renal and biliary elimination of MTX during its constant-rate i.v. infusion and concomitant single bolus i.v. injections of amiodarone or azithromycin. The mean steady-state plasma concentration of 1.7+/-0.1 micromol/l was reached and the total clearance achieved 17.7+/-1.0 ml/min/kg. Administration of amiodarone decreased the biliary clearance of MTX to 73% of the control values (p<0.05). Correspondingly, the total clearance decreased to 72% and plasma MTX concentrations were augmented to 2.5+/-0.4 micromol/l (p<0.05). Amiodarone-treated rats exhibited a 3.3-fold decrease in the renal clearance (p<0.05) of conjugated bilirubin, which was associated with its increased plasma concentration. In contrast, azithromycin did not alter any of the MTX pharmacokinetic parameters. In conclusion, this is the first report describing the impairment of MTX hepatic elimination during co-administration with amiodarone. This study also provides new insight into acute amiodarone-induced hyperbilirubinaemia, where increased bilirubin production and decreased renal clearance may contribute to this effect. Importantly, azithromycin seems to be a safe co-medication during LDMTX therapy.

Abstract
Amiodarone (AMD)-induced pulmonary toxicity (AIPT) is the most life-threatening side-effect of AMD treatment. N-Monodesethylamiodarone (DEA), an active metabolite of AMD, also exhibits cytotoxicity and tends to accumulate in the lung more intensively than AMD. In this study, we characterized the mechanism of DEA accumulation using A549 cells as a model of the alveolar epithelium. Typical ATP-depletion compounds caused an approximately 30% increase in the accumulation of DEA in A549 cells, although these effects were less than those in Caco-2 cells. Triiodothyronine (T(3)), which exhibited an inhibitory effect on DEA efflux in Caco-2 cells, did not affect the accumulation of DEA in A549 cells. On the other hand, 100 microM AMD caused an approximately 200% increase in DEA content in A549 cells, although AMD accumulation was not affected by 100 microM DEA. Since the reducing effect of AMD on cellular ATP levels and that of FCCP were similar, the mechanism by which DEA accumulation is increased by AMD might be different from the ATP-dependent DEA efflux mechanism. The decrease in cell viability by DEA in the presence of AMD (IC(50) value of DEA for A549 cell viability: 25.4+/-2.4 microM) was more pronounced than that by DEA alone (IC(50) value: 11.5+/-3.0 microM). This further DEA accumulation by AMD might be a factor responsible for the greater accumulation of DEA than that of AMD in the lung in long-term AMD-treated patients.

Abstract
N,N-diethyl-2-[4-(phenylmethyl) phenoxy] ethanamine (DPPE; tesmilifene) is a novel anti-histaminic and chemopotentiating agent that has a hormetic effect on DNA synthesis in MCF (Michigan Cancer Foundation)-7 human breast cancer cells in vitro and stimulates the growth of experimental tumors in rodents. In a prospectively randomized phase three trial (NCIC MA.19), 152 patients who were co-administered DPPE and doxorubicin survived 50% longer (P < 0.03) than 153 patients who were administered the same dose and schedule of doxorubicin alone. At clinically relevant in vitro concentrations that do not inhibit the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) pump, DPPE selectively sensitizes the cancer cells that express the multiple drug resistance phenotype, making them more susceptible to the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapeutic agents, including anthracyclines and taxanes. Based on its previously demonstrated interaction with histamine at CYP3A4, a P450 that metabolizes arachidonic acid, and its induction of high levels of prostacyclin in the gut of rodents, modulation by DPPE of the intracellular concentration of arachidonate products, such as hydroxyeicosatetraeinoic acids, implicated in increased cancer cell proliferation and metastasis, is postulated.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein, breast cancer resistance protein, and multidrug resistance proteins have physiological functions in placental tissue. Several antidepressants, antipsychotics, and anti-epileptic drugs have been found to be substrates of P-glycoprotein and other transporters. The extent that drugs pass through the placental barrier is likely influenced by drug transporters. The rational choice of psychoactive drugs to treat mental illness in women of child-bearing age should incorporate knowledge of both drug disposition as well as expected pharmacologic effects. This review summarizes the current data on drug transporters in the placental passage of medications, with a focus on medications used in clinical psychopharmacology.

Abstract
To determine the effect of intestinal cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes on the bioavailability of oral drugs, we have examined the metabolism of nifedipine, an antihypertensive drug and a model substrate of CYP3A4, in mouse models having deficient expression of the NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase. Initial studies were performed on Cpr-low (CL) mice, which have substantial decreases in Cpr expression in all tissues examined, including the small intestine. In CL mice, area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) values for blood nifedipine after intraperitoneal and oral dosing were 1.8- and 4.0-fold, respectively, higher than in wild-type mice, despite increased expression of multiple P450 enzymes in both liver and intestine. The greater extent of the increase in the AUC value for oral than for intraperitoneal nifedipine suggested that intestinal P450s influence the bioavailability of oral nifedipine, a notion supported by results from further studies on LCN and CL-LCN mice. The LCN mice, which have liver-specific Cpr deletion, had 6.9-fold higher AUC values and 2.2-fold higher C(max) values for blood nifedipine than did wild-type mice after oral nifedipine, consistent with the critical role of hepatic P450s in systemic nifedipine clearance. However, in the CL-LCN mice, which have global decreases in Cpr expression in all tissues examined and Cpr deletion in the liver, AUC and C(max) values for oral nifedipine were, respectively, 2.2- and 1.8-fold higher than in LCN mice, confirming the fact that P450-catalyzed metabolism in the small intestine, the portal-of-entry organ for oral drugs, plays an important role in the first-pass clearance of oral nifedipine.

Abstract
Corneal epithelium and blood-retina barrier (i.e. retinal capillaries and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)) are the key membranes that regulate the access of xenobiotics into the ocular tissues. Corneal epithelium limits drug absorption from the lacrimal fluid into the anterior chamber after eyedrop administration, whereas blood-retina barrier restricts the entry of drugs from systemic circulation to the posterior eye segment. Like in general pharmacokinetics, the role of transporters has been considered to be quite limited as compared to the passive diffusion of drugs across the membranes. As the functional role of transporters is being revealed it has become evident that the transporters are widely important in pharmacokinetics. This review updates the current knowledge about the transporters in the corneal epithelium and blood-retina barrier and demonstrates that the information is far from complete. We also show that quite many ocular drugs are known to interact with transporters, but the studies about the expression and function of those transporters in the eye are still sparse. Therefore, the transporters probably have greater role in ocular pharmacokinetics than we currently realise.

Abstract
The recent discovery of efflux transporters in the gut has revolutionized our understanding of the absorption and bioavailability of pharmaceuticals and other xenobiotics in humans. Despite the celebrity of efflux transporters in the areas of pharmacology and medicine, their significance is only beginning to be realized in the area of plant-herbivore interactions. This review integrates reports on the importance of gut efflux transporters to diet selection by herbivores. The diets of herbivores are laden with toxic plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) that until recently were thought to be processed almost exclusively by detoxification enzymes in the liver. We describe how efflux transporters in the gut may play a critical role in regulating the absorption of PSMs in herbivores and dictating diet selection. Recent studies suggest that the role of efflux transporters in mediating diet selection in herbivores may be as critical as detoxification enzymes. In addition to diet selection, gut efflux transporters have implications for other aspects of plant-animal interactions. They may be significant components of the evolutionary arms race that influences chemical diversity in plants. Furthermore, in agricultural systems, gut efflux transporters may play an important role in the effectiveness of pesticides. This synthesis paper introduces a new direction in plant-herbivore interactions by providing a complementary mechanism, regulated absorption, to detoxification that may define tolerance to PSMs by herbivores.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the fifth reported instance, as of February 15, 2006, of a severe interaction between simvastatin and amiodarone and hypothesize inhibition of CYP3A4 as the major mechanism. CASE SUMMARY A 72-year-old white man (178 cm, 77.2 kg) with diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and mild azotemia was hospitalized on September 21, 2004, with thigh weakness, achiness, and dark urine for 7 days. Coronary artery bypass had been performed on July 7, 2004. Amiodarone 200 mg/day was started on July 10, and simvastatin 80 mg/day was initiated on August 13. Laboratory testing on the present admission included creatine kinase (CK) 19,620 U/L (reference range 60-224), blood urea nitrogen 50 mg/dL, creatinine 2.6 mg/dL, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 912 U/L (30-60), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 748 U/L (30-60), urine myoglobin 71,100 microg/L (<50), and serum myoglobin 13,877 microg/L (<110). Simvastatin and amiodarone were discontinued, and the patient was hydrated with forced alkaline diuresis. Thirteen days later, his CK was 323 U/L, creatinine 1.7 mg/dL, ALT 145 U/L, and AST 37 U/L. DISCUSSION Simvastatin is metabolized primarily by CYP3A4, and amiodarone is a recognized inhibitor of this enzyme. This may, therefore, account for the presumed drug interaction. CONCLUSIONS An objective causal assessment suggests that rhabdomyolysis, renal failure, and possibly hepatotoxicity were probably related to an amiodarone-simvastatin interaction.

Abstract
According to recent epidemiological reports, almost 40% of American population use complimentary and alternative medicine (CAM) during their lifetime. Patients detected with HIV or cancer often consume herbal products especially St. John's wort (SJW) for antidepressants in combination with prescription medicines. Such self-administered herbal products along with prescribed medicines raise concerns of therapeutic activity due to possible drug-herbal interactions. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) together constitute a highly efficient barrier for many orally absorbed drugs. Available literature, clinical reports and in vitro studies from our laboratory indicate that many drugs and herbal active constituents are substrates for both P-gp and CYP3A4. Results from clinical studies and case reports indicate that self-administered SJW reduce steady state plasma concentrations of amitriptyline, cyclosporine, digoxin, fexofenadine, amprenavir, indonavir, lopinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir, benzodiazepines, theophyline, irinotecan, midazolan and warfarin. This herbal agent has been also reported to cause bleeding and unwanted pregnancies when concomitantly administered with oral contraceptives. Most of these medicinal agents and SJW are substrates for P-gp and/or CYP3A4. In vitro studies from our laboratory suggest that short-term exposure with pure herbal agents such as hypericin, kaempferol and quercetin or extract of SJW resulted in higher uptake or influx of ritonavir and erythromycin. Hypericin, kaempferol and quercetin also caused a remarkable inhibition of cortisol metabolism with the percent intact cortisol values of 64.58%, 89.6% and 90.1%, respectively, during short-term in vitro experiments. Conversely, long-term exposure of herbal agents (hyperforin, kaempferol and quercetin) showed enhanced expression of CYP3A4 mRNA in Caco-2 cells. In another study, we observed that long-term exposure of hypericin, kaempferol, quercetin and silibinin resulted in higher MDR-1 mRNA expression in Caco-2 cells. Therefore, herbs can pharmacokinetically act as inhibitors or inducers. Medicinal agents that are substrates P-gp-mediated efflux and/or CYP-mediated metabolism are likely to be potential candidates for drug-herbal interactions. The duration of exposure of cells/healthy volunteers/animals to herbals appears to be critical for drug-herbal interaction. An increase in plasma drug concentration is possible during concomitant administration of SJW and prescribed drugs. In contrast, prolonged intake of herbal supplement followed by drug administration may result in subtherapeutic concentrations. Therefore, clinical implications of such drug herbal interactions depend on a variety of factors such as dose, frequency and timing of herbal intake, dosing regimen, route of drug administration and therapeutic range. In vitro screening techniques will play a major role in identifying possible herb-drug interactions and thus create a platform for clinical studies to emerge. Mechanisms of drug-herbal interaction have been discussed in this review article.

Abstract
The impact of efflux pumps and metabolic enzymes on the therapeutic activity of various drugs has been well established. The presence of efflux pumps on various tissues and tumours has been shown to regulate the intracellular concentration needed to achieve therapeutic activity. The notable members of efflux proteins include P-glycoprotein, multi-drug resistance protein and breast cancer resistance protein. These efflux pumps play a pivotal role not only in extruding xenobiotics but also in maintaining the body's homeostasis by their ubiquitous presence and ability to coordinate among themselves. In this review, the role of efflux pumps in drug delivery and the importance of their tissue distribution is discussed in detail. To improve pharmacokinetic parameters of substrates, various strategies that modulate the activity of efflux proteins are also described. Drug metabolising enzymes mainly include the cytochrome P450 family of enzymes. Extensive drug metabolism due to the this family of enzymes is the leading cause of therapeutic inactivity. Therefore, the role of metabolising enzymes in drug delivery and disposition is extensively discussed in this review. The synergistic relationship between metabolising enzymes and efflux proteins is also described in detail. In summary, this review emphasises the urgent need to make changes in drug discovery and drug delivery as efflux pumps and metabolising enzymes play an important role in drug delivery and disposition.

Abstract
In humans, cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A4) is a major enzyme involved in the metabolism of amiodarone (AM) to its major metabolite, desethylamiodarone (DEA). In rat, a commonly used animal model, metabolism of AM has not been well studied. To determine whether DEA is formed by CYP3A isoenzymes in the rat, microsomal protein was harvested from liver and intestine of male Sprague-Dawley rats. The metabolism of AM in each tissue was assessed utilizing chemical and immunological inhibitors. Ketoconazole, a presumed inhibitor of CYP3A1/2, significantly inhibited formation of DEA by hepatic and intestinal microsomes. However, based on the DEA formation kinetics in both microsomal preparations, it appeared that more than one cytochrome P450 enzyme was involved in the process. Coincubation of AM with microsomes and anti-CYP3A2 confirmed the role of CYP3A2 in the metabolism of AM in liver. DEA was also formed by rat recombinant CYP1A1 and CYP3A1, and was inhibited by ketoconazole; hence the participation of these enzymes in the intestinal DEA formation is likely. However, anti-CYP2B1/2 or -CYP1A2 antibodies had no effect on DEA formation. In rats given oral or intravenous AM, oral ketoconazole caused significant increases in area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC) of oral and i.v. treated rats and greater than 50% decreases in the total body clearance and Vdss of i.v. treated rats. Although low to undetectable concentrations of DEA were a limitation for determination of AUC of DEA in vivo, it was confirmed that ketoconazole could cause a significant increase in AM concentrations in rat.

Abstract
Recently, we found that potent P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors, such as verapamil and cyclosporin A, markedly modulated the pharmacokinetics of digoxin in rats, whereas they did not affect beta-methyldigoxin pharmacokinetics significantly. Digoxin is also a substrate of rat organic anion transporting polypeptide 2 (Oatp2). Here, we compared the magnitude of Oatp2-mediated drug interaction of digoxin and beta-methyldigoxin using amiodarone as an Oatp2 inhibitor in rats. Amiodarone (20 mg/kg) given intravenously significantly increased plasma levels and decreased biliary excretion, liver distribution, and intestinal distribution of digoxin administered intravenously at a dose of 10 mug/kg. Amiodarone also significantly decreased biliary excretion and liver distribution of beta-methyldigoxin, but the change in plasma levels of beta-methyldigoxin was quite small. These findings may give a clue in selecting these cardiac glycosides in clinical pharmacotherapy for patients receiving multiple drugs towards escape from Oatp2-mediated drug interactions.

Abstract
We investigated whether there was a stereoselective effect of amiodarone on the pharmacokinetics of carvedilol. Among a series of 106 inpatients with heart failure, 52 received carvedilol monotherapy (carvedilol group) and 54 received carvedilol plus amiodarone (carvedilol+amiodarone group). The serum carvedilol concentration administered/dose ratio was compared between the two groups based on HPLC measurement of the serum levels of carvedilol, amiodarone, and desethylamiodarone. In 6 patients from the carvedilol group, serum carvedilol levels were compared before and after coadministration of amiodarone. There was no significant between-group difference of the serum concentration to dose (C/D ratio) for the R-enantiomer carvedilol, however, the C/D ratio for the S-enantiomer and the serum S-carvedilol to R-carvedilol (S/R) ratio were both significantly lower in the carvedilol group than in the carvedilol+amiodarone group(47.8+/-56.7 versus 95.3+/-105 ng/mg/kg, P=0.0048 and 0.460+/-0.207 versus 0.879+/-0.377 ng/mg/kg, P<0.001), respectively. Furthermore, the mean S-carvedilol concentration over 14 days of coadministration with amiodarone was higher than that before coadministration (6.54+/-1.73 ng/mL versus 3.03+/-0.670 ng/mL, P<0.001). These results suggest that metabolism of S-carvedilol was markedly inhibited by coadministration of amiodarone.

Abstract
Infection and inflammation impose a suppression in the expression and activity of several drug transporters and drug-metabolizing enzymes in liver. In the intestine, cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A), P-glycoprotein (PGP/mdr1), and the multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2) are important barriers to the absorption of many clinically important drugs; thus, the expression and activity of these proteins were examined in inflammation. Transport and metabolism were determined in jejunum segments isolated at 24 h from endotoxin-treated or control rats (n = 8) mounted in Ussing chambers. Transport and metabolism of (3)H-digoxin, 5-carboxyfluorescein (5-CF), amiodarone (AM), and 7-benzyloxyquinoline (7-BQ) were measured for 90 min in the presence and absence of inhibitors. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was used to measure mRNA levels. As compared with controls, levels of mdr1a and mrp2 mRNA were significantly decreased by approximately 50% in the jejunum of LPS-treated rats. Corresponding reductions in the basolateral-->apical efflux of digoxin, AM, and 5-CF were observed, resulting in significant increases in the apical-->basolateral absorption of these compounds. Intestinal CYP3A mRNA levels and CYP3A-mediated metabolism of 7-BQ and AM were also decreased by approximately 50 to 70% (p < 0.05) in the LPS group. Mannitol permeability and lactate dehydrogenase release were not altered. These studies indicate that endotoxin-induced inflammation imposes a reduction in the intestinal expression and activity of PGP, mrp2, and CYP3A in rats, which elicits corresponding changes in the intestinal transport and metabolism of their substrates. Hence, infection and inflammatory diseases may impose variability in drug bioavailability through alterations in the intestinal expression and activity of drug transporters and metabolic enzymes.
