Abstract
Coronaviruses (CoVs) consist of a large group of RNA viruses causing various diseases in humans and in lots of animals. Human coronavirus (HCoV) OC43, the prototype of beta-coronavirus discovered in the 1960s, has been circulating in humans for long time, and infection with other emerging strains of beta-coronavirus (SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and MERS-CoV) can lead to severe illness and death. In this study, we found that montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist, potently inhibited the infection of HCoV-OC43 in distinct cells in a dose- and time- dependent manner. Additionally, the results showed that montelukast induced release of HCoV-OC43 genomic RNA by disrupting the integrity of the viral lipid membrane, and irreversibly inhibited viral infection. Considering the similarity among HCoV-OC43, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2, it suggests that montelukast may be a potential candidate for the treatment of human beta-coronavirus infection.

Abstract
Predicting drug-drug interactions (DDIs) from in vitro data is made difficult by not knowing concentrations of substrate and inhibitor at the target site. For in vivo targets, this is understandable, since intracellular concentrations can differ from extracellular concentrations. More vexing is that the concentration of the drug at the target for some in vitro assays can also be unknown. This uncertainty has resulted in standard in vitro practices that cannot accurately predict human pharmacokinetics. This case study highlights the impact of drug distribution, both in vitro and in vivo, with the example of the drug interaction potential of montelukast.

Abstract
Montelukast is a potent and selective antagonist of the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 subtype (CysLT1) and widely used in the form of oral tablets and granules for asthma prophylaxis and treatment. Recently, due to the pulmonary inhaled administration can limit montelukast distribution in the systemic circulation, avoid the first-pass metabolism and have better therapeutic effects in respiratory disease treatment, explore alternative routes of administration, like delivery of montelukast via an inhaled, is a new research trend for montelukast. The aim of the current study was to develop and validate a simple, accurate, highly sensitive and selective liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method (LC-MS/MS) for determination of montelukast in an in vitro cell-based pulmonary pharmacokinetics system model, which can be used to be a better understanding the fate of inhaled montelukast in the lungs. In this study, montelukast was extracted by protein precipitation with acetonitrile containing labeled montelukast. The chromatography was performed on an Agilent Eclipse plus C8 column (4.6 mm × 100 mm, 3.5 μm, Darmstadt, Germany) operating at 35 ◦C. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile: 20 mM ammonium formate buffer (80: 20, v/v), was delivered at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. montelukast and the internal standard were both eluted at 4.2 min. A linear (1/x2) relationship was used to perform the calibration over an analytical range from 0.5 to 600 ng/mL. The intra- and inter-batch precision expressed as CV for four QC samples including LLOQ range from 1.14 % to 6.25 %. The intra- and inter-batch accuracy for four concentrations of montelukast were in the range of 95.19%-104.1%. All the values for accuracy and precision were within the acceptance range. The method met all the bioanalytical method validation requirements by ICH and was suitable for the assay of montelukast which in the in vitro cell-based pulmonary pharmacokinetics system model.

Abstract
To identify the genetic basis of interindividual variability in montelukast exposure, we determined its pharmacokinetics and sequenced 379 pharmacokinetic genes in 191 healthy volunteers. An intronic single nucleotide variation (SNV), strongly linked with UGT1A3*2, associated with reduced area under the plasma concentration–time curve (AUC0‐∞) of montelukast (by 18% per copy of the minor allele; P = 1.83 × 10−10). UGT1A3*2 was associated with increased AUC0‐∞ of montelukast acyl‐glucuronide M1 and decreased AUC0‐∞ of hydroxymetabolites M5R, M5S, and M6 (P < 10−9). Furthermore, SNVs in SLCO1B1 and ABCC9 were associated with the AUC0‐∞ of M1 and M5R, respectively. In addition, a candidate gene analysis suggested that CYP2C8 and ABCC9 SNVs also affect the AUC0‐∞ of montelukast. The found UGT1A3 and ABCC9 variants associated with increased expression of the respective genes in human liver samples. Montelukast and its hydroxymetabolites were glucuronidated by UGT1A3 in vitro. These results indicate that UGT1A3 plays an important role in montelukast pharmacokinetics, especially in UGT1A3*2 carriers.

Abstract
Clinical studies with montelukast show variability in effect and polymorphic OATP2B1-dependent absorption has previously been implicated as a possible cause. This claim has been challenged with conflicting data and here we used OATP2B1-transfected HEK293 cells to clarify the mechanisms involved. For montelukast, no significant difference in cell uptake between HEK-OATP2B1 and empty vector cell lines was observed at pH 6.5 or pH 7.4, and no concentration-dependent uptake was detected. Montelukast is a carboxylic acid, a relatively potent inhibitor of OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and OATP2B1, and has previously been postulated to be actively transported into human hepatocytes. Using OATP1B1-transfected HEK293 cells and primary human hepatocytes in the presence of OATP inhibitors we demonstrate for the first time that active OATP-dependent transport is unlikely to play a significant role in the human disposition of montelukast.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the SLCO2B1 gene encoding organic anion transporting polypeptide 2B1 (OATP2B1), c.935G>A (p.R312Q; rs12422149), has been associated with reduced plasma concentrations of montelukast in patients with asthma. Our aim was to examine the possible effects of the SLCO2B1 c.935G>A SNP on the single-dose pharmacokinetics of the suggested OATP2B1 substrates montelukast and aliskiren. METHODS Sixteen healthy volunteers with the SLCO2B1 c.935GG genotype, 12 with the c.935GA genotype, and five with the c.935AA genotype ingested a single 10 mg dose of montelukast or a 150 mg dose of aliskiren, with a washout period of 1 week. Plasma montelukast concentrations were measured up to 24 h. Plasma and urine aliskiren concentrations were measured up to 72 and 12 h, respectively, and plasma renin activity up to 24 h after aliskiren intake. RESULTS The SLCO2B1 genotypes had no significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of montelukast or aliskiren. The geometric mean ratios with 90% confidence intervals of montelukast area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 h to infinity (AUC(0-∞)) in participants with the c.935GA or the c.935AA genotype to those with the c.935GG genotype were 1.02 (0.87, 1.21) or 0.88 (0.71, 1.10), respectively (P=0.557). The geometric mean ratios (90% confidence interval) of aliskiren AUC(0-∞) in participants with the c.935GA or the c.935AA genotype to those with the c.935GG genotype were 0.98 (0.74, 1.30) or 1.24 (0.85, 1.80), respectively (P=0.576). CONCLUSION These data do not support the suggested functional significance of the SLCO2B1 c.935G>A SNP on OATP2B1 activity in vivo.

Abstract
Food-drug interaction studies are critical to evaluate appropriate dosing, timing, and formulation of new drug candidates. These interactions often reflect prandial-associated changes in the extent and/or rate of systemic drug exposure. Physiologic and physicochemical mechanisms underlying food effects on drug disposition are well-characterized. However, biochemical mechanisms involving drug metabolizing enzymes and transport proteins remain underexplored. Several plant-derived beverages have been shown to modulate enzymes and transporters in the intestine, leading to altered pharmacokinetic (PK) and potentially negative pharmacodynamic (PD) outcomes. Commonly consumed fruit juices, teas, and alcoholic drinks contain phytochemicals that inhibit intestinal cytochrome P450 and phase II conjugation enzymes, as well as uptake and efflux transport proteins. Whereas myriad phytochemicals have been shown to inhibit these processes in vitro, translation to the clinic has been deemed insignificant or undetermined. An overlooked prerequisite for elucidating food effects on drug PK is thorough knowledge of causative bioactive ingredients. Substantial variability in bioactive ingredient composition and activity of a given dietary substance poses a challenge in conducting robust food-drug interaction studies. This confounding factor can be addressed by identifying and characterizing specific components, which could be used as marker compounds to improve clinical trial design and quantitatively predict food effects. Interpretation and integration of data from in vitro, in vivo, and in silico studies require collaborative expertise from multiple disciplines, from botany to clinical pharmacology (i.e., plant to patient). Development of more systematic methods and guidelines is needed to address the general lack of information on examining drug-dietary substance interactions prospectively.
