A Pilot Study To Assess the Suitability of Riboflavin As a Surrogate Marker of Breast Cancer Resistance Protein in Healthy Participants. J Pharmacol Exp Ther 2024; 390:162-173. [PMID: 38296646 DOI: 10.1124/jpet.123.002015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 12/31/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/02/2024] Open
Abstract
We recently showed that riboflavin is a selected substrate of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) over P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and demonstrated its prediction performance in preclinical drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies. The aim of this study was to investigate the suitability of riboflavin to assess BCRP inhibition in humans. First, we assessed the substrate potential of riboflavin toward other major drug transporters using established transfected cell systems. Riboflavin is a substrate for organic anion transporter (OAT)1, OAT3, and multidrug and toxin extrusion protein (MATE)2-K, with uptake ratios ranging from 2.69 to 11.6, but riboflavin is not a substrate of organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B1, OATP1B3, organic cation transporter (OCT)2, and MATE1. The effects of BMS-986371, a potent in vitro inhibitor of BCRP (IC 50 0.40 μM), on the pharmacokinetics of riboflavin, isobutyryl carnitine, and arginine were then examined in healthy male adults (N = 14 or 16) after oral administration of methotrexate (MTX) (7.5 mg) and enteric-coated (EC) sulfasalazine (SSZ) (1000 mg) alone or in combination with BMS-986371 (150 mg). Oral administration of BMS-986371 increased the area under the plasma concentration-time curves (AUCs) of rosuvastatin and immediate-release (IR) SSZ to 1.38- and 1.51-fold, respectively, and significantly increased AUC(0-4h), AUC(0-24h), and C max of riboflavin by 1.25-, 1.14-, and 1.11-fold (P-values of 0.003, 0.009, and 0.025, respectively) compared with the MTX/SSZ EC alone group. In contrast, BMS-986371 did not significantly influence the AUC(0-24h) and C max values of isobutyryl carnitine and arginine (0.96- to 1.07-fold, respectively; P > 0.05). Overall, these data indicate that plasma riboflavin is a promising biomarker of BCRP that may offer a possibility to assess drug candidate as a BCRP modulator in early drug development. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Endogenous compounds that serve as biomarkers for clinical inhibition of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) are not currently available. This study provides the initial evidence that riboflavin is a promising BCRP biomarker in humans. For the first time, the value of leveraging the substrate of BCRP with acceptable prediction performance in clinical studies is shown. Additional clinical investigations with known BCRP inhibitors are needed to fully validate and showcase the utility of this biomarker.

Abstract
The evaluation of transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions (DDIs) during drug development and post-approval contributes to benefit-risk assessment and helps formulate clinical management strategies. The use of endogenous biomarkers, which are substrates of clinically relevant uptake and efflux transporters, to assess the transporter inhibitory potential of a drug has received widespread attention. Endogenous biomarkers, such as coproporphyrin (CP) I and III, have increased mechanistic understanding of complex DDIs. Other endogenous biomarkers are under evaluation, including, but not limited to, sulfated bile acids and 4-pyridoxic acid (PDA). The role of endogenous biomarkers has expanded beyond facilitating assessment of transporter-mediated DDIs and they have also been used to understand alterations in transporter activity in the setting of organ dysfunction and various disease states. We envision that endogenous biomarker-informed approaches will not only help to formulate a prudent and informed DDI assessment strategy but also facilitate quantitative predictions of changes in drug exposures in specific populations.

Abstract
Background: It has become common practice to assess solute carrier transporter (SLC)-mediated drug-drug interactions (DDIs) by quantitating various individual endogenous compounds as biomarkers in human plasma and urine. The goal of this work was to develop biomarker multiplex assays that could be utilized during first in human studies to support the simultaneous assessment of clinical DDI risk across various SLCs. Methodology: Hydrophilic interaction chromatography-MS/MS methods were developed, and validations were performed. Results: The multiplex assays were applied to a first in human study. Placebo/reference subject biomarker data were consistent with single assay in-house and published data. Conclusion: This work demonstrates the utility of these multiplex methods to support the concurrent evaluation of clinical DDI risk across various SLCs.

Abstract
Evaluating Drug-Drug Interactions (DDIs) for new investigational compounds requires several trials evaluating different drugs with different transporter specificities. By using a cocktail of drugs with different transporter specificities, a single trial could evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PKs) of each cocktail drug simultaneously, reducing the number of clinical DDI trials required for clinical development. We aimed to investigate the effect of steady-state Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) 730357 (bevurogant) on the PKs of a validated and optimized 4-component transporter cocktail. This open-label, non-randomized, 2-period fixed-sequence phase I trial compared transporter cocktail (0.25 mg digoxin/1 mg furosemide/10 mg metformin hydrochloride/10 mg rosuvastatin) with and without BI 730357 in healthy subjects aged 18-55 years with body mass index 18.5-29.9 kg/m2 . During reference treatment/period 1, transporter cocktail was administered 90 minutes after breakfast. After a washout period, during test treatment/period 2, BI 730357 was dosed twice daily for 13 days, with transporter cocktail administered on day 1. The primary endpoints were the area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-∞ ) and the maximum measured concentration of the analyte in plasma (Cmax ), and the secondary endpoint was the area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the last quantifiable data point (AUC0-tz ). Steady-state BI 730357 increased digoxin (+48% to +94%), minimally affected metformin (-2% to -9%), furosemide (+12% to +18%), and rosuvastatin (+19% to +39%) exposure. Therefore, no clinically relevant inhibition of transporters OCT2/MATE-1/MATE-2K, OAT1/OAT3, OATP1B1/OATP1B3 was observed. Potential inhibition of breast cancer resistance protein noted as PK parameters of coproporphyrin I/III (OATP1B1/OATP1B3 biomarkers) remained within bioequivalence boundaries while rosuvastatin PK parameters (AUC0-∞ /Cmax /AUC0-tz ) exceeded the bioequivalence boundary. BI 730357 was safe and well tolerated. This trial confirms the usefulness and tolerability of the transporter cocktail consisting of digoxin, furosemide, metformin, and rosuvastatin in assessing drug-transporter interactions in vivo.

Abstract
Variations in drug transporter activities, caused by genetic polymorphism and drug-drug interactions (DDIs), alter the systemic exposure of substrate drugs, leading to differences in drug responses. Recently, some endogenous substrates of drug transporters, particularly the solute carrier family transporters such as OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, MATE1, and MATE2-K, have been identified to investigate variations in drug transporters in humans. Clinical data obtained support their performance as surrogate probes in terms of specificity and reproducibility. Pharmacokinetic parameters of the endogenous biomarkers depend on the genotypes of drug transporters and the systemic exposure to perpetrator drugs. Furthermore, the development of physiologically based pharmacokinetic models for the endogenous biomarkers has enabled a top-down approach to obtain insights into the effect of perpetrators on drug transporters and to more precisely simulate the DDI with victim drugs, including probe drugs. The endogenous biomarkers can address the uncertainty in the DDI prediction in the preclinical and early phases of clinical development and have the potential to fulfill regulatory requirements. Therefore, the endogenous biomarkers should be able to predict disease effects on the variations in drug transporter activities observed in patients. This mini-review focuses on recent progress in the identification and use of the endogenous drug transporter substrate biomarkers and their application in drug development. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Advances in analytical methods have enabled the identification of endogenous substrates of drug transporters. Changes in the pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax, AUC, or CLR) of these endogenous biomarkers relative to baseline values can serve as a quantitative index to assess variations in drug transporter activities during clinical studies and thereby provide more precise DDI predictions.

Abstract
Gut dysbiosis has been reported in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection, however its role in CHB progression and antiviral treatment remains to be clarified. Herein, the present study aimed to characterize gut microbiota (GM) in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection-associated liver diseases (HBV-CLD) by combining microbiome with metabolome analyses and to evaluate their effects on peripheral immunity. Fecal samples from HBV-CLD patients (n = 64) and healthy controls (n = 17) were collected for 16s rRNA sequencing. Fecal metabolomics was measured with untargeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in subgroups of 58 subjects. Lineage changes of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were determined upon exposure to bacterial extracts (BE) from HBV-CLD patients. Integrated analyses of microbiome with metabolome revealed a remarkable shift of gut microbiota and metabolites in HBV-CLD patients, and disease progression and antiviral treatment were found to be two main contributing factors for the shift. Concordant decreases in Turicibacter with 4-hydroxyretinoic acid were detected to be inversely correlated with serum AST levels through host-microbiota-metabolite interaction analysis in cirrhotic patients. Moreover, depletion of E.hallii group with elevated choline was restored in patients with 5-year antiviral treatment. PBMC exposure to BE from non-cirrhotic patients enhanced expansion of T helper 17 cells; however, BE from cirrhotics attenuated T helper 1 cell count. CHB progression and antiviral treatment are two main factors contributing to the compositional shift in microbiome and metabolome of HBV-CLD patients. Peripheral immunity might be an intermediate link in gut microbe-host interplay underlying CHB pathogenesis.

Abstract
The reliably accurate and precise quantification of biomarkers is a priceless objective in the drug development and diagnostic arenas. To employ a technique that brings such reliability and furthermore involves a simpler, faster, and inexpensive regime would only underline the potential importance of the concept and technique. To the existing established approaches for biomarker quantification in bioanalytical LC-MS, surrogate matrix (SUR-M) and surrogate analyte (SUR-A), in this Letter we present an approach that fulfills the aforementioned advantages. The concept builds on the historic method of standard addition (SA), in which one source of biological matrix is spiked with analyte to form a calibration curve. With the SA curve back-calculated, the heart of this procedure is the subsequent adjustment of the intercept to zero, the origin, and using only the slope of the curve for interpolation giving calculated sample concentrations. In SA, the concentration axis intercept indicates the endogenous analyte concentration, and our zeroing of this is equivalent to removing the endogenous level. This key shift of the calculated line to the origin unveils our novel origin-adjusted (OA) approach. It enables use akin to a regular xenobiotic method, with no need to ultimately account for the endogenous analyte level in the control matrix used for calibrants. We present a comparison of OA against the control approach of SUR-M in a representative application for kynurenine and tryptophan in human plasma by LC-MS. A numerical performance analysis performed is demonstrative of equivalence between the two approaches for both analytes.

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
Solute carrier (SLC) transporters present as the loci of important drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Therefore, sponsors generate in vitro half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50 ) data and apply regulatory agency-guided "static" methods to assess DDI risk and the need for a formal clinical DDI study. Because such methods are conservative and high false-positive rates are likely (e.g., DDI study triggered when liver SLC R value ≥ 1.04 and renal SLC maximal unbound plasma (Cmax,u )/IC50 ratio ≥ 0.02), investigators have attempted to deploy plasma- and urine-based SLC biomarkers in phase I studies to de-risk DDI and obviate the need for drug probe-based studies. In this regard, it was possible to generate in-house in vitro SLC IC50 data for various clinically (biomarker)-qualified perpetrator drugs, under standard assay conditions, and then estimate "% inhibition" for each SLC and relate it empirically to published clinical biomarker data (area under the plasma concentration vs. time curve (AUC) ratio (AUCR, AUCinhibitor /AUCreference ) and % decrease in renal clearance (ΔCLrenal )). After such a "calibration" exercise, it was determined that only compounds with high R values (> 1.5) and Cmax,u /IC50 ratios (> 0.5) are likely to significantly modulate liver (AUCR > 1.25) and renal (ΔCLrenal > 25%) biomarkers and evoke DDI risk. The % inhibition approach supports integration of liver and renal SLC data and allows one to generate pan-SLC inhibition signatures for different test perpetrators (e.g., SLC % inhibition ranking). In turn, such signatures can guide the selection of the most appropriate individual (or combinations of) biomarkers for testing in phase I studies.

[PMID: 35736458 PMCID: PMC9228653 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12060525] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2022] [Revised: 05/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/01/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Gut microbial metabolites, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), are found at multiple locations in the host body and are identified as important metabolites in gut microbiome-associated diseases. Quantifying SCFAs in diverse biological samples is important to understand their roles in host health. This study developed an accurate SCFA quantification method by performing gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS) in human plasma, serum, feces, and mouse cecum tissue. The samples were acidified with hydrochloric acid, and the SCFAs were extracted using methyl tert-butyl ether. In this method, distilled water was selected as a surrogate matrix for the quantification of SCFAs in target biological samples. The method was validated in terms of linearity, parallelism, precision, recovery, and matrix effect. The developed method was further applied in target biological samples. In conclusion, this optimized method can be used as a simultaneous SCFA quantification method in diverse biological samples.

Abstract
The 15th edition of the Workshop on Recent Issues in Bioanalysis (15th WRIB) was held on 27 September to 1 October 2021. Even with a last-minute move from in-person to virtual, an overwhelmingly high number of nearly 900 professionals representing pharma and biotech companies, contract research organizations (CROs), and multiple regulatory agencies still eagerly convened to actively discuss the most current topics of interest in bioanalysis. The 15th WRIB included 3 Main Workshops and 7 Specialized Workshops that together spanned 1 week in order to allow exhaustive and thorough coverage of all major issues in bioanalysis, biomarkers, immunogenicity, gene therapy, cell therapy and vaccines. Moreover, in-depth workshops on biomarker assay development and validation (BAV) (focused on clarifying the confusion created by the increased use of the term "Context of Use - COU"); mass spectrometry of proteins (therapeutic, biomarker and transgene); state-of-the-art cytometry innovation and validation; and, critical reagent and positive control generation were the special features of the 15th edition. This 2021 White Paper encompasses recommendations emerging from the extensive discussions held during the workshop, and is aimed to provide the bioanalytical community with key information and practical solutions on topics and issues addressed, in an effort to enable advances in scientific excellence, improved quality and better regulatory compliance. Due to its length, the 2021 edition of this comprehensive White Paper has been divided into three parts for editorial reasons. This publication (Part 1A) covers the recommendations on Endogenous Compounds, Small Molecules, Complex Methods, Regulated Mass Spec of Large Molecules, Small Molecule, PoC. Part 1B covers the Regulatory Agencies' Inputs on Bioanalysis, Biomarkers, Immunogenicity, Gene & Cell Therapy and Vaccine. Part 2 (ISR for Biomarkers, Liquid Biopsies, Spectral Cytometry, Inhalation/Oral & Multispecific Biotherapeutics, Accuracy/LLOQ for Flow Cytometry) and Part 3 (TAb/NAb, Viral Vector CDx, Shedding Assays; CRISPR/Cas9 & CAR-T Immunogenicity; PCR & Vaccine Assay Performance; ADA Assay Comparabil ity & Cut Point Appropriateness) are published in volume 14 of Bioanalysis, issues 10 and 11 (2022), respectively.

Evaluation of the Effect of Abrocitinib on Drug Transporters by Integrated Use of Probe Drugs and Endogenous Biomarkers. Clin Pharmacol Ther 2022; 112:665-675.

Abstract
Abrocitinib is an oral Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) inhibitor currently approved in the United Kingdom for the treatment of moderate‐to‐severe atopic dermatitis (AD). As patients with AD may use medications to manage comorbidities, abrocitinib could be used concomitantly with hepatic and/or renal transporter substrates. Therefore, we assessed the potential effect of abrocitinib on probe drugs and endogenous biomarker substrates for the drug transporters of interest. In vitro studies indicated that, among the transporters tested, abrocitinib has the potential to inhibit the activities of P‐glycoprotein (P‐gp), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), organic anion transporter 3 (OAT3), organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1), and multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 1 and 2K (MATE1/2K). Therefore, subsequent phase I, two‐way crossover, open‐label studies in healthy participants were performed to assess the impact of abrocitinib on the pharmacokinetics of the transporter probe substrates dabigatran etexilate (P‐gp), rosuvastatin (BCRP and OAT3), and metformin (OCT2 and MATE1/2K), as well as endogenous biomarkers for MATE1/2K (N1‐methylnicotinamide (NMN)) and OCT1 (isobutyryl‐L‐carnitine (IBC)). Co‐administration with abrocitinib was shown to increase the plasma exposure of dabigatran by ~ 50%. In comparison, the plasma exposure and renal clearance of rosuvastatin and metformin were not altered with abrocitinib co‐administration. Similarly, abrocitinib did not affect the exposure of NMN or IBC. An increase in dabigatran exposure suggests that abrocitinib inhibits P‐gp activity. By contrast, a lack of impact on plasma exposure and/or renal clearance of rosuvastatin, metformin, NMN, or IBC suggests that BCRP, OAT3, OCT1, and MATE1/2K activity are unaffected by abrocitinib.

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.

Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:688950.

Abstract
The tricyclic antidepressant amitriptyline is frequently prescribed but its use is limited by its narrow therapeutic range and large variation in pharmacokinetics. Apart from interindividual differences in the activity of the metabolising enzymes cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 and 2C19, genetic polymorphism of the hepatic influx transporter organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1) could be contributing to interindividual variation in pharmacokinetics. Here, the impact of OCT1 genetic variation on the pharmacokinetics of amitriptyline and its active metabolite nortriptyline was studied in vitro as well as in healthy volunteers and in depressive disorder patients. Amitriptyline and nortriptyline were found to inhibit OCT1 in recombinant cells with IC50 values of 28.6 and 40.4 µM. Thirty other antidepressant and neuroleptic drugs were also found to be moderate to strong OCT1 inhibitors with IC50 values in the micromolar range. However, in 35 healthy volunteers, preselected for their OCT1 genotypes, who received a single dose of 25 mg amitriptyline, no significant effects on amitriptyline and nortriptyline pharmacokinetics could be attributed to OCT1 genetic polymorphism. In contrast, the strong impact of the CYP2D6 genotype on amitriptyline and nortriptyline pharmacokinetics and of the CYP2C19 genotype on nortriptyline was confirmed. In addition, acylcarnitine derivatives were measured as endogenous biomarkers for OCT1 activity. The mean plasma concentrations of isobutyrylcarnitine and 2-methylbutyrylcarnitine were higher in participants with two active OCT1 alleles compared to those with zero OCT1 activity, further supporting their role as endogenous in vivo biomarkers for OCT1 activity. A moderate reduction in plasma isobutyrylcarnitine concentrations occurred at the time points at which amitriptyline plasma concentrations were the highest. In a second, independent study sample of 50 patients who underwent amitriptyline therapy of 75 mg twice daily, a significant trend of increasing amitriptyline plasma concentrations with decreasing OCT1 activity was observed (p = 0.018), while nortriptyline plasma concentrations were unaffected by the OCT1 genotype. Altogether, this comprehensive study showed that OCT1 activity does not appear to be a major factor determining amitriptyline and nortriptyline pharmacokinetics and that hepatic uptake occurs mainly through other mechanisms.

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.

Abstract
Organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1) is a transporter that regulates the hepatic uptake and subsequent elimination of diverse cationic compounds. Although OCT1 has been involved in drug-drug interactions and causes pharmacokinetic variability of many prescription drugs, details of the molecular mechanisms that regulate the activity of OCT1 remain incompletely understood. Based on an unbiased phospho-proteomics screen, we identified OCT1 as a tyrosine-phosphorylated transporter, and functional validation studies using genetic and pharmacological approaches revealed that OCT1 is highly sensitive to small molecules that target the protein kinase YES1, such as dasatinib. In addition, we found that dasatinib can inhibit hepatic OCT1 function in mice as evidenced from its ability to modulate levels of isobutyryl L-carnitine, a hepatic OCT1 biomarker identified from a targeted metabolomics analysis. These findings provide novel insight into the post-translational regulation of OCT1 and suggest that caution is warranted with polypharmacy regimes involving the combined use of OCT1 substrates and kinase inhibitors that target YES1.

Abstract
Drug transporters play important roles in the elimination of various compounds from the blood. Genetic variation and drug-drug interactions underlie the pharmacokinetic differences for the substrates of drug transporters. Some endogenous substrates of drug transporters have emerged as biomarkers to assess differences in drug transporter activity-not only in animals, but also in humans. Metabolomic analysis is a promising approach for identifying such endogenous substrates through their metabolites. The appropriateness of metabolites is supported by studies in vitro and in vivo, both in animals and through pharmacogenomic or drug-drug interaction studies in humans. This review summarizes current progress in identifying such endogenous biomarkers and applying them to drug transporter phenotyping.
