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

Non-targeted metabolomics for the identification of plasma metabolites associated with organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 function. Clin Transl Sci 2024; 17:e13773. [PMID: 38515340 PMCID: PMC10958181 DOI: 10.1111/cts.13773] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2023] [Revised: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Our aim was to evaluate biomarkers for organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1) function using a hypothesis-free metabolomics approach. We analyzed fasting plasma samples from 356 healthy volunteers using non-targeted metabolite profiling by liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry. Based on SLCO1B1 genotypes, we stratified the volunteers to poor, decreased, normal, increased, and highly increased OATP1B1 function groups. Linear regression analysis, and random forest (RF) and gradient boosted decision tree (GBDT) regressors were used to investigate associations of plasma metabolite features with OATP1B1 function. Of the 9152 molecular features found, 39 associated with OATP1B1 function either in the linear regression analysis (p < 10-5) or the RF or GBDT regressors (Gini impurity decrease > 0.01). Linear regression analysis showed the strongest associations with two features identified as glycodeoxycholate 3-O-glucuronide (GDCA-3G; p = 1.2 × 10-20 for negative and p = 1.7 × 10-19 for positive electrospray ionization) and one identified as glycochenodeoxycholate 3-O-glucuronide (GCDCA-3G; p = 2.7 × 10-16). In both the RF and GBDT models, the GCDCA-3G feature showed the strongest association with OATP1B1 function, with Gini impurity decreases of 0.40 and 0.17. In RF, this was followed by one GDCA-3G feature, an unidentified feature with a molecular weight of 809.3521, and the second GDCA-3G feature. In GBDT, the second and third strongest associations were observed with the GDCA-3G features. Of the other associated features, we identified with confidence two representing lysophosphatidylethanolamine 22:5. In addition, one feature was putatively identified as pregnanolone sulfate and one as pregnenolone sulfate. These results confirm GCDCA-3G and GDCA-3G as robust OATP1B1 biomarkers in human plasma.

Ticagrelor Increases Exposure to the Breast Cancer Resistance Protein Substrate Rosuvastatin. Clin Pharmacol Ther 2024; 115:71-79. [PMID: 37786998 DOI: 10.1002/cpt.3067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/04/2023]
Abstract
Ticagrelor and rosuvastatin are often used concomitantly after atherothrombotic events. Several cases of rhabdomyolysis during concomitant ticagrelor and rosuvastatin have been reported, suggesting a drug-drug interaction. We showed recently that ticagrelor inhibits breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) and organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1, 1B3, and 2B1-mediated rosuvastatin transport in vitro. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ticagrelor on rosuvastatin pharmacokinetics in humans. In a randomized, crossover study, 9 healthy volunteers ingested a single dose of 90 mg ticagrelor or placebo, followed by a single 10 mg dose of rosuvastatin 1 hour later. Ticagrelor 90 mg or placebo were additionally administered 12, 24, and 36 hours after their first dose. Ticagrelor increased rosuvastatin area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and peak plasma concentration 2.6-fold (90% confidence intervals: 1.8-3.8 and 1.7-4.0, P = 0.001 and P = 0.003), and prolonged its half-life from 3.1 to 6.6 hours (P = 0.009). Ticagrelor also decreased the renal clearance of rosuvastatin by 11% (3%-19%, P = 0.032). The N-desmethylrosuvastatin:rosuvastatin AUC0-10h ratio remained unaffected by ticagrelor. Ticagrelor had no effect on the plasma concentrations of the endogenous OATP1B substrates glycodeoxycholate 3-O-glucuronide, glycochenodeoxycholate 3-O-glucuronide, glycodeoxycholate 3-O-sulfate, and glycochenodeoxycholate 3-O-sulfate, or the sodium-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide substrate taurocholic acid. These data indicate that ticagrelor increases rosuvastatin concentrations more than twofold in humans, probably mainly by inhibiting intestinal BCRP. Because the risk for rosuvastatin-induced myotoxicity increases along with rosuvastatin plasma concentrations, using ticagrelor concomitantly with high doses of rosuvastatin should be avoided.
