Abstract
Organic anion-transporting polypeptides (OATP) 1B1 and OATP1B3, encoded by the SLCO gene family of the solute carrier superfamily, are involved in the disposition of many exogenous and endogenous compounds. Preclinical rodent models help assess risks of pharmacokinetic interactions, but interspecies differences in transporter orthologs and expression limit direct clinical translation. An OATP1B transgenic mouse model comprising a rodent Slco1a/1b gene cluster knockout and human SLCO1B1 and SLCO1B3 gene insertions provides a potential physiologically relevant preclinical tool to predict pharmacokinetic interactions. Pharmacokinetics of exogenous probe substrates, pitavastatin and pravastatin, and endogenous OATP1B biomarkers, coproporphyrin-I and coproporphyrin-III, were determined in the presence and absence of known OATP/Oatp inhibitors, rifampin or silymarin (an extract of milk thistle [Silybum marianum]), in wild-type FVB mice and humanized OATP1B mice. Rifampin increased exposure of pitavastatin (4.6- and 2.8-fold), pravastatin (3.6- and 2.2-fold), and coproporphyrin-III (1.6- and 2.1-fold) in FVB and OATP1B mice, respectively, but increased coproporphyrin-I AUC0-24h only (1.8-fold) in the OATP1B mice. Silymarin did not significantly affect substrate AUC, likely because the silymarin flavonolignan concentrations were at or below their reported IC50 values for the relevant OATPs/Oatps. Silymarin increased the Cmax of pitavastatin 2.7-fold and pravastatin 1.9-fold in the OATP1B mice. The data of the OATP1B mice were similar to those of the pitavastatin and pravastatin clinical data; however, the FVB mice data more closely recapitulated pitavastatin clinical data than the data of the OATP1B mice, suggesting that the OATP1B mice are a reasonable, though costly, preclinical strain for predicting pharmacokinetic interactions when doses are optimized to achieve clinically relevant plasma concentrations.

Utility of Coproporphyrin-I Determination in First-in-Human Study for Early Evaluation of OATP1B Inhibitory Potential Based on Investigation of Ensitrelvir, an Oral SARS-CoV-2 3C-Like Protease Inhibitor. J Pharm Sci 2024; 113:798-805. [PMID: 37742997 DOI: 10.1016/j.xphs.2023.09.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2023] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
Coproporphyrin-I (CP-I) has been investigated as an endogenous biomarker of organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B. Here, we determined the CP-I concentrations in a cocktail drug-drug interaction (DDI) study of ensitrelvir to evaluate the OATP1B inhibitory potential because ensitrelvir had increased plasma concentrations of rosuvastatin in this study, raising concerns about breast cancer resistance protein and OATP1B inhibition. Furthermore, CP-I concentrations were compared between active and placebo groups in a first-in-human (FIH) study of ensitrelvir to verify whether the OATP1B inhibitory potential could be estimated at an early drug development stage. In the cocktail DDI study, CP-I did not differ between with/without administration of ensitrelvir, indicating that ensitrelvir has no OATP1B inhibitory effect. Although there were some individual variabilities in CP-I concentrations among the treatment groups in the FIH study, the normalization of CP-I concentrations with pre-dose values minimized these variabilities, suggesting that this normalized method would be helpful for comparing the CP-I from different participants. Finally, we concluded that CP-I concentrations were not affected by ensitrelvir in the FIH study. These results suggested that the CP-I determination in an FIH study and its normalized method can be useful for an early evaluation of the OATP1B-mediated DDI potential in humans.

Drug Metab Dispos 2024; 52:236-241. [PMID: 38123963 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.123.001564] [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: 10/03/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Rifampicin (RIF) is a mixed-mode perpetrator that produces pleiotropic effects on liver cytochrome P450 enzymes and drug transporters. To assess the complex drug-drug interaction liabilities of RIF in vivo, a known probe substrate, midazolam (MDZ), along with multiple endogenous biomarkers were simultaneously monitored in beagle dogs before and after a 7-day treatment period by RIF at 20 mg/kg per day. Confirmed by the reduced MDZ plasma exposure and elevated 4β-hydroxycholesterol (4β-HC, biomarker of CYP3A activities) level, CYP3A was significantly induced after repeated RIF doses, and such induction persisted for 3 days after cessation of the RIF administration. On the other hand, increased plasma levels of coproporphyrin (CP)-I and III [biomarkers of organic anion transporting polypeptides 1b (Oatp1b) activities] were observed after the first dose of RIF. Plasma CPs started to decline as RIF exposure decreased, and they returned to baseline 3 days after cessation of the RIF administration. The data suggested the acute (inhibitory) and chronic (inductive) effects of RIF on Oatp1b and CYP3A enzymes, respectively, and a 3-day washout period is deemed adequate to remove superimposed Oatp1b inhibition from CYP3A induction. In addition, apparent self-induction of RIF was observed as its terminal half-life was significantly altered after multiple doses. Overall, our investigation illustrated the need for appropriate timing of modulator dosing to differentiate between transporter inhibition and enzyme induction. As further indicated by the CP data, induction of Oatp1b activities was not likely after repeated RIF administration. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This investigation demonstrated the utility of endogenous biomarkers towards complex drug-drug interactions by rifampicin (RIF) and successfully determined the optimal timing to differentiate between transporter inhibition and enzyme induction. Based on experimental evidence, Oatp1b induction following repeated RIF administration was unlikely, and apparent self-induction of RIF elimination was observed.

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
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Coproporphyrin (CP) I and III are byproducts of haem synthesis currently investigated as biomarkers for drug-drug interactions involving hepatic organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B transporters. Another hepatically expressed OATP-member is OATP2B1. The aim of this study was to test the impact of OATP2B1, which specifically transports CPIII, on CP serum levels, applying novel rat models. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH CPIII transport kinetics and the interplay between OATP2B1 and multidrug resistance-associated proteins (MRPs) were determined in vitro using the vTF7 expression system. Novel rSlco2b1-/- and SLCO2B1+/+ rat models were characterized for physiological parameters and for CP serum levels. Hepatic and renal expression of transporters involved in CP disposition were determined by real-time qPCR, Western blot analysis, and immunohistochemistry. KEY RESULTS In vitro experiments revealed differences in transport kinetics comparing human and rat OATP2B1 and showed a consistent, species-specific interplay with hMRP3/rMRP3. Deletion of rOATP2B1 was associated with a trend towards lower CPI serum levels compared with wildtype rats, while CPIII remained unchanged. Comparing SLCO2B1+/+ with knockout rats revealed an effect of sex: only in females the genetic modification influenced CP serum levels. Analysis of hepatic and renal transporters revealed marginal, but in part, statistically significant differences in rMRP2 abundance, which may contribute to the observed changes in CP serum levels. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Our findings support that factors other than OATP1B transporters are of relevance for basal CP levels. Only in female rats, humanization of SLCO2B1 affects basal CPI and CPIII serum levels, despite isomer selectivity of OATP2B1.

Abstract
Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) involving hepatic organic anion transporting polypeptides 1B1/1B3 (OATP1B) can be substantial, however, challenges remain for predicting interaction risk. Emerging evidence suggests that endogenous biomarkers, particularly coproporphyrin-I (CP-I), can be used to assess in vivo OATP1B activity. The present work under the International Consortium for Innovation and Quality in Pharmaceutical Development was aimed primarily at assessing CP-I as a biomarker for informing OATP1B DDI risk. Literature and unpublished CP-I data along with pertinent in vitro and clinical DDI information were collected to identify DDIs primarily involving OATP1B inhibition and assess the relationship between OATP1B substrate drug and CP-I exposure changes. Static models to predict changes in exposure of CP-I, as a selective OATP1B substrate, were also evaluated. Significant correlations were observed between CP-I area under the curve ratio (AUCR) or maximum concentration ratio (Cmax R) and AUCR of substrate drugs. In general, the CP-I Cmax R was equal to or greater than the CP-I AUCR. CP-I Cmax R < 1.25 was associated with absence of OATP1B-mediated DDIs (AUCR < 1.25) with no false negative predictions. CP-I Cmax R < 2 was associated with weak OATP1B-mediated DDIs (AUCR < 2). A correlation was identified between CP-I exposure changes and OATP1B1 static DDI predictions. Recommendations for collecting and interpreting CP-I data are discussed, including a decision tree for guiding DDI risk assessment. In conclusion, measurement of CP-I is recommended to inform OATP1B inhibition potential. The current analysis identified changes in CP-I exposure that may be used to prioritize, delay, or replace clinical DDI studies.

Abstract
Pregnane X receptor (PXR) is known to stimulate haem synthesis, but detailed knowledge on the effects of PXR activation on porphyrin metabolism in humans is lacking. We utilized a randomized, crossover, open (blinded laboratory) and placebo-controlled trial with 600-mg rifampicin or placebo dosed for a week to investigate the effects of PXR activation on erythrocyte, plasma, faecal and urine porphyrins. Sixteen healthy volunteers participated on the trial, but the number of volunteers for blood and urine porphyrin analyses was 15 while the number of samples for faecal analyses was 14. Rifampicin increased urine pentaporphyrin concentration 3.7-fold (mean 1.80 ± 0.6 vs. 6.73 ± 4.4 nmol/L, p = 0.003) in comparison with placebo. Urine coproporphyrin I increased 23% (p = 0.036). Faecal protoporphyrin IX decreased (mean 31.6 ± 23.5 vs. 19.2 ± 27.8 nmol/g, p = 0.023). The number of blood erythrocytes was slightly elevated, and plasma bilirubin, catabolic metabolite of haem, was decreased. In conclusion, rifampicin dosing elevated the excretion of certain urinary porphyrin metabolites and decreased faecal protoporphyrin IX excretion. As urine pentaporphyrin and coproporphyrin I are not precursors in haem biosynthesis, increased excretion may serve as a hepatoprotective shunt when haem synthesis or porphyrin levels are increased.

Abstract
Gilteritinib, an FDA-approved tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of relapsed/refractory FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia, is primarily eliminated via CYP3A4-mediated metabolism, a pathway that is sensitive to the co-administration of known CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as itraconazole. However, the precise mechanism by which itraconazole and other CYP3A-modulating drugs affect the absorption and disposition of gilteritinib remains unclear. In the present investigation, we demonstrate that pretreatment with itraconazole is associated with a significant increase in the systemic exposure to gilteritinib in mice, recapitulating the observed clinical drug–drug interaction. However, the plasma levels of gilteritinib were only modestly increased in CYP3A-deficient mice and not further influenced by itraconazole. Ensuing in vitro and in vivo studies revealed that gilteritinib is a transported substrate of OATP1B-type transporters, that gilteritinib exposure is increased in mice with OATP1B2 deficiency, and that the ability of itraconazole to inhibit OATP1B-type transport in vivo is contingent on its metabolism by CYP3A isoforms. These findings provide new insight into the pharmacokinetic properties of gilteritinib and into the molecular mechanisms underlying drug–drug interactions with itraconazole.

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.

Abstract
Comprehensive characterization of transporter mediated drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is important to formulate clinical management strategies and ensure the safe and effective use of concomitantly administered drugs. The potential of a drug to inhibit transporters is predicted by comparing the ratio of the relevant concentration (depending on the transporter) and the half maximum inhibitory concentration (IC50 ) to a pre-defined "cut off" value. If the ratio is greater than the cut off value, modeling approaches such as Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Modeling or a clinical DDI trial may be recommended. Because false positive (in vitro data suggests the potential for a DDI, whereas no significant DDI is observed in vivo) and false negative (in vitro data does not suggest the potential for a DDI, whereas significant DDI is observed in vivo) outcomes have been observed, there is interest in exploring additional approaches to facilitate prediction of transporter mediated DDIs. The idea of assessing changes in the concentration of endogenous biomarkers (which are substrates of clinically relevant transporters) to gain insight on the potential for a drug to inhibit transporter activity has received widespread attention. This brief report describes how endogenous biomarkers may help to expand the DDI assessment toolkit, highlights some current knowledge gaps, and outlines a conceptual framework that may complement the current paradigm of predicting the potential for transporter mediated DDIs.

Isotretinoin and its Metabolites Alter mRNA of Multiple Enzyme and Transporter Genes In Vitro, but Downregulation of Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptide Does Not Translate to the Clinic. Drug Metab Dispos 2022; 50:1042-1052.

Abstract
Isotretinoin [13-cis-retinoic acid (13cisRA)] is widely used for the treatment of neuroblastoma and acne. It acts via regulating gene transcription through binding to retinoic acid receptors. Yet, the potential for isotretinoin to cause transcriptionally mediated drug-drug interactions (DDIs) has not been fully explored. We hypothesized that isotretinoin and its active metabolites all-trans-retinoic acid (atRA) and 4-oxo-13cisRA would alter the transcription of enzymes and transporters in the human liver via binding to nuclear receptors. The goal of this study was to define the DDI potential of isotretinoin and its metabolites resulting from transcriptional regulation of cytochrome P450 and transporter mRNAs. In human hepatocytes (n = 3), 13cisRA, atRA, and 4-oxo-13cisRA decreased OATP1B1, CYP1A2, CYP2C9, and CYP2D6 mRNA and increased CYP2B6 and CYP3A4 mRNA in a concentration-dependent manner. The EC50 values for OATP1B1 mRNA downregulation ranged from 2 to 110 nM, with maximum effect (Emax ) ranging from 0.17- to 0.54-fold. Based on the EC50 and Emax values and the known circulating concentrations of 13cisRA and its metabolites after isotretinoin dosing, a 55% decrease in OATP1B1 activity was predicted in vivo. In vivo DDI potential was evaluated clinically in participants dosed with isotretinoin for up to 32 weeks using coproporphyrin-I (CP-I) as an OATP1B1 biomarker. CP-I steady-state serum concentrations were unaltered following 2, 8, or 16 weeks of isotretinoin treatment. These data show that isotretinoin and its metabolites alter transcription of multiple enzymes and transporters in vitro, but translation of these changes to in vivo drug-drug interactions requires clinical evaluation for each enzyme. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Isotretinoin and its metabolites alter the mRNA expression of multiple cytochrome P450s (CYPs) and transporters in human hepatocytes, suggesting that isotretinoin may cause clinically significant drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Despite the observed changes in organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1) mRNA in human hepatocytes, no clinical DDI was observed when measuring a biomarker, coproporphyrin-I. Further work is needed to determine whether these findings can be extrapolated to a lack of a DDI with CYP1A2, CYP2B6, and CYP2C9 substrates.

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

Abstract
1. Evaluation of the organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B-mediated drug-drug interaction (DDI) potential is important for drug development. The focus of this study was coproporphyrin I (CP-I), an endogenous OATP1B biomarker.2. We investigated a new approach to OATP1B-mediated DDI prediction based on the mechanistic static pharmacokinetics (MSPK) model.3. The ratio of the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUCR) with and without co-administration of rifampicin (a typical OATP1B inhibitor) was found for CP-I and OATP1B substrate, respectively, and was then used to derive the correlation curve equation. The AUCR with and without co-administration of another OATP1B inhibitor than rifampicin was then predicted for the OATP1B substrates by substituting the AUCR of CP-I in the correlation curve equation to verify the predictability of the AUCR of the OATP1B substrates.4. The derived correlation curve equation between CP-I and the OATP1B substrates of the AUCRs with and without co-administration of rifampicin matched the observed AUCRs well. Regarding pitavastatin, rosuvastatin and pravastatin, 92.9% of the predicted AUCR values were within a two-fold range of the observed values, indicating that this approach may be a good way to quantitatively predict DDI potential.

Abstract
Trazpiroben is a dopamine D2/D3 receptor antagonist under development for the treatment of gastroparesis. This phase I, open‐label, randomized, two‐way crossover study (NCT04121078) evaluated the effect of single‐dose intravenous rifampin, a potent inhibitor of the organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) 1B1 and 1B3, on the pharmacokinetics and safety of trazpiroben in healthy adults. The utility of coproporphyrin (CP) I and CPIII as biomarkers of OATP inhibition was also assessed. Overall, 12 participants were enrolled and randomized (1:1) into one of two treatment sequences (AB and BA). Participants received either a single oral dose of trazpiroben 25 mg (treatment A) or a single oral dose of trazpiroben 25 mg immediately after a single 30‐min intravenous infusion of rifampin 600 mg (treatment B). After a washout period of at least 7 days, participants received the other treatment. Geometric mean area under the curve from time 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC∞) and maximum serum concentration (Cmax) of plasma trazpiroben were higher in participants receiving treatment B than those receiving treatment A (AUC∞, 168.5 vs. 32.68 ng*h/ml; Cmax, 89.62 vs. 14.37 ng/ml); corresponding geometric mean ratios (90% confidence interval) showed 5.16 (4.25–6.25) and 6.24 (4.62–8.42)‐fold increases in these parameters, respectively. In this study, trazpiroben was confirmed as a substrate of OATP1B1/1B3, and therefore co‐administration of trazpiroben with moderate to strong inhibitors of OATP1B1/1B3 is not recommended. This is also the first assessment of the utility of CPI and CPIII as endogenous biomarkers of OATP1B1/1B3 inhibition after a single intravenous dose of rifampin.

Abstract
PF-06835919 is a first-in-class ketohexokinase inhibitor (KHKi), recently under development for the treatment of metabolic and fatty liver diseases, which inhibited organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B1 in vitro and presented drug-drug interaction (DDI) risk. This study aims to investigate the dose-dependent effect of KHKi on OATP1B in vivo activity. We performed an open-label study comparing pharmacokinetics of atorvastatin (OATP1B probe) dosed alone (20 mg single dose) and coadministered with two dose strengths of KHKi (50 and 280 mg once daily) in 12 healthy participants. Additionally, changes in exposure of coproporphyrin-I (CP-I), an endogenous biomarker for OATP1B, were assessed in the atorvastatin study (1.12-fold and 1.49-fold increase in area under the plasma concentration-time profile (AUC) with once-daily 50 and 280 mg, respectively), and a separate single oral dose study of KHKi alone (100-600 mg, n = 6 healthy participants; up to a 1.80-fold increase in AUC). Geometric mean ratios (90% confidence interval) of atorvastatin (area under the plasma concentration - time profile from time 0 extrapolated to infinite time) AUCinf following 50 and 280 mg KHKi were 1.14 (1.00-1.30) and 1.54 (1.37-1.74), respectively. Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling of CP-I plasma exposure following a single dose of KHKi predicted in vivo OATP1B inhibition from about 13% to 70% over the 100 to 600 mg dose range, while using the in vitro inhibition potency (1.9 µM). Model-based analysis correctly predicted "no-effect" (AUC ratio < 1.25) at the low dose range and "weak" effect (AUC ratio < 2) on atorvastatin pharmacokinetics at the high dose range of KHKi. This study exemplified the utility of biomarker-informed model-based approach in discerning even small effects on OATP1B activity in vivo, and to project DDI risk at the clinically relevant doses.

Abstract
Membrane transporters have been recognized as one of the key determinants of pharmacokinetics and are also known to affect the efficacy and toxicity of drugs. Both qualitatively and quantitatively, however, transporter studies conducted using human in vitro systems have not always been predictive. Consequently, researchers have utilized cynomolgus monkeys as a model to study drug transporters and anticipate their effects in humans. Burgeoning reports of data in the last few years necessitates a comprehensive review on the topic of drug transporters in cynomolgus monkeys that includes cell-based tools, sequence homology, tissue expression, in vitro studies, in vivo studies, and in vitro-to-in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE). This review highlights the state-of-the-art applications of monkey transporter models to support the evaluation of transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions, clearance predictions, and endogenous transporter biomarker identification and validation. The data demonstrate that cynomolgus monkey transporter models, when used appropriately, can be an invaluable tool to support drug discovery and development processes. Most importantly, they provide an early IVIVE assessment which provides additional context to human in vitro data. Additionally, comprehending species similarities and differences in transporter tissue expression and activity is crucial when translating monkey data to humans. The challenges and limitations when applying such models to inform decision-making must also be considered. Significance Statement This paper presents a comprehensive review of currently available published reports describing cynomolgus monkey transporter models. The data indicate that cynomolgus monkeys provide mechanistic insight regarding the role of intestinal, hepatic, and renal transporters in drug and biomarker disposition and drug interactions. It is concluded that the data generated with cynomolgus monkey models provide mechanistic insight regarding transporter-mediated absorption and disposition, as well as human clearance prediction, drug-drug interaction assessment, and endogenous biomarker development related to drug transporters.

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

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

Abstract
Quantitative prediction of drug-drug interactions (DDIs) involving organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B1/1B3 inhibition is limited by uncertainty in the translatability of experimentally determined in vitro inhibition potency (half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50 )). This study used an OATP1B endogenous biomarker-informed physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling approach to predict the effect of inhibitor drugs on the pharmacokinetics (PKs) of OATP1B substrates. Initial static analysis with about 42 inhibitor drugs, using in vitro IC50 values and unbound liver inlet concentrations (Iin,max,u ), suggested in vivo OATP1B inhibition risk for drugs with R-value (1+ Iin,max,u /IC50 ) above 1.5. A full-PBPK model accounting for transporter-mediated hepatic disposition was developed for coproporphyrin I (CP-I), an endogenous OATP1B biomarker. For several inhibitors (cyclosporine, diltiazem, fenebrutinib, GDC-0810, itraconazole, probenecid, and rifampicin at 3 different doses), PBPK models were developed and verified against available CP-I plasma exposure data to obtain in vivo OATP1B inhibition potency-which tend to be lower than the experimentally measured in vitro IC50 by about 2-fold (probenecid and rifampicin) to 37-fold (GDC-0810). Models verified with CP-I data are subsequently used to predict DDIs with OATP1B probe drugs, rosuvastatin and pitavastatin. The predicted and observed area under the plasma concentration-time curve ratios are within 20% error in 55% cases, and within 30% error in 89% cases. Collectively, this comprehensive study illustrates the adequacy and utility of endogenous biomarker-informed PBPK modeling in mechanistic understanding and quantitative predictions of OATP1B-mediated DDIs in drug development.

Abstract
A previous study in 356 healthy Finnish volunteers showed that glycochenodeoxycholate 3‐O‐glucuronide (GCDCA‐3G) and glycodeoxycholate 3‐O‐glucuronide (GDCA‐3G) are promising biomarkers of organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1). In the same cohort, we now evaluated the performances of two other OATP1B1 biomarkers, coproporphyrin I (CPI) and III (CPIII), and compared them with GCDCA‐3G and GDCA‐3G. Based on decreased (*5 and *15) and increased (*14 and *20) function SLCO1B1 haplotypes, we stratified the participants to poor, decreased, normal, increased, and highly increased OATP1B1 function groups. Fasting plasma CPI concentration was 68% higher in the poor (95% confidence interval, 44%, 97%; P = 1.74 × 10−10), 7% higher in the decreased (0%, 15%; P = 0.0385), 10% lower in the increased (3%, 18%; P = 0.0087), and 23% lower in the highly increased (1%, 40%; P = 0.0387) function group than in the normal function group. CPIII concentration was 27% higher (7%, 51%; P = 0.0071) in the poor function group than in the normal function group. CPI and CPIII detected poor OATP1B1 function with areas under the precision‐recall curve (AUPRC) of 0.388 (95% confidence interval, 0.197, 0.689) and 0.0798 (0.0485, 0.203), and receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.888 (0.851, 0.919) and 0.731 (0.682, 0.776). The AUPRC and AUROC of GCDCA‐3G were, however, 0.389 (0.258, 0.563) and 0.100 (−0.0046, 0.204; P = 0.0610) larger than those of CPI, and 0.697 (0.555, 0.831) and 0.257 (0.141, 0.373; P < 0.0001) larger than those of CPIII. In conclusion, these data indicate that plasma CPI outperforms CPIII in detecting altered OATP1B1 function, but GCDCA‐3G is an even more sensitive OATP1B1 biomarker than CPI.

Endogenous Biomarkers for SLC Transporter-Mediated Drug-Drug Interaction Evaluation. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26185500.

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.

Abstract
Drug-drug interactions mediated by transporters are a serious clinical concern hence a tremendous amount of work has been done on the characterization of the transporter-mediated proteins in humans and animals. The underlying mechanism for the transporter-mediated drug-drug interaction is the induction or inhibition of the transporter which is involved in the cellular uptake and efflux of drugs. Transporter of the brain, liver, kidney, and intestine are major determinants that alter the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion profile of drugs, and considerably influence the pharmacokinetic profile of drugs. As a consequence, transporter proteins may affect the therapeutic activity and safety of drugs. However, mounting evidence suggests that many drugs change the activity and/or expression of the transporter protein. Accordingly, evaluation of drug interaction during the drug development process is an integral part of risk assessment and regulatory requirements. Therefore, this review will highlight the clinical significance of the transporter, their role in disease, possible cause underlying the drug-drug interactions using analytical tools, and update on the regulatory requirement. The recent in-silico approaches which emphasize the advancement in the discovery of drug-drug interactions are also highlighted in this review. Besides, we discuss several endogenous biomarkers that have shown to act as substrates for many transporters, which could be potent determinants to find the drug-drug interactions mediated by transporters. Transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions are taken into consideration in the drug approval process therefore we also provided the extrapolated decision trees from in-vitro to in-vivo, which may trigger the follow-up to clinical studies.

Abstract
Coproporphyrins (CP-I and CP-III) in plasma are considered potential markers for assessing liver organic anion-transporting polypeptide transporter OATP1B activity and monitoring OATP1B-mediated drug-drug interactions (DDIs) in clinical settings. However, the effect of altered renal clearance (CLrenal ) on CP-I and CP-III plasma exposure has rarely been examined. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to further evaluate CP-I and CP-III as clinical endogenous markers for OATP1B activity and to investigate the impact of CLrenal on DDI assessments for the first time. In this study, 18 healthy participants were recruited to receive RO7049389 (a potential inhibitor of OATP1B) 800 mg twice daily for 6 days and a single dose of pitavastatin (a probe drug of OATP1B) before and after RO7049389 treatment. Plasma concentrations of pitavastatin, CP I, CP III, and the amounts of CP-I and CP-III excreted in urine were measured. Seventeen healthy participants completed the study. After multiple doses of RO7049389, the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to 12 hours of pitavastatin increased 1.95-fold (90% confidence interval [CI], 1.58-2.41), while for CP-I and CP-III it increased 3.00-fold (90%CI, 2.35-3.82) and 2.84-fold (90%CI, 2.22-3.65), respectively. Concurrently, the CLrenal of CP-I decreased by 31% (90%CI, 23%-39%), and that of CP-III decreased by 70% (90%CI, 61%-77%). In conclusion, CP-I and CP-III in plasma display the potential to be applied as endogenous markers for the evaluation of OATP1B inhibition in clinical trials. While renal transporters contribute significantly to the CLrenal of CP-III, it would be better to investigate the impact of the CLrenal on plasma exposure of CP-III during clinical DDI assessments.

Abstract
Plasma coproporphyrin‐I (CP‐I) concentration is used as a sensitive and selective endogenous probe for phenotyping organic anion transporting polypeptides 1B (OATP1B) activity in many studies. CP‐I is produced in the process of heme synthesis, but the relationship between plasma CP‐I concentrations and heme synthesis activity is unknown. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between plasma CP‐I concentration and hemoglobin level as a biomarker of heme synthesis activity. The data of 391 subjects selected from the Japanese general population were analyzed. One hundred twenty‐six participants had OATP1B1*15 allele, 11 of whom were homozygous (OATP1B1*15/*15). Multiple regression analysis identified hemoglobin level as an independent variable associated with plasma CP‐I concentration (p < 0.0001). A significant positive correlation was observed between hemoglobin level and plasma CP‐I concentration in participants without OATP1B1*15 allele (n = 265; rs = 0.35, p < 0.0001) and with OATP1B1*15 allele (n = 126; rs =0.27, p = 0.0022). However, Kruskal–Wallis test showed no large difference in Kruskal–Wallis statistics between the distribution of plasma CP‐I concentrations and that of ratio of plasma CP‐I to hemoglobin among six OATP1B1 polymorphism groups. These findings suggest that the hemoglobin level seems to reflect biosynthesis of CP‐I. However, correction by hemoglobin level is not required when using basal plasma CP‐I concentration for phenotyping OATP1B activity.

Abstract
Transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions are one of the major mechanisms in pharmacokinetic-based drug interactions and correspondingly affecting drugs' safety and efficacy. Regulatory bodies underlined the importance of the evaluation of transporter-mediated interactions as a part of the drug development process. The liver is responsible for the elimination of a wide range of endogenous and exogenous compounds via metabolism and biliary excretion. Therefore, hepatic uptake transporters, expressed on the sinusoidal membranes of hepatocytes, and efflux transporters mediating the transport from hepatocytes to the bile are determinant factors for pharmacokinetics of drugs, and hence, drug-drug interactions. In parallel with the growing research interest in this area, regulatory guidances have been updated with detailed assay models and criteria. According to well-established preclinical results, observed or expected hepatic transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions can be taken into account for clinical studies. In this paper, various methods including in vitro, in situ, in vivo, in silico approaches, and combinational concepts and several clinical studies on the assessment of transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions were reviewed. Informative and effective evaluation by preclinical tools together with the integration of pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation can reduce unexpected clinical outcomes and enhance the success rate in drug development.

Abstract
Coproporphyrin I (CPI) is an endogenous biomarker of OATP1B activity and associated drug-drug interactions. In this study, a minimal physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model was developed to investigate the impact of OATP1B1 genotype (c.521T>C), ethnicity, and sex on CPI pharmacokinetics and interindividual variability in its baseline. The model implemented mechanistic descriptions of CPI hepatic transport between liver blood and liver tissue and renal excretion. Key model parameters (e.g., endogenous CPI synthesis rate, and CPI hepatic uptake clearance) were estimated by fitting the model simultaneously to three independent CPI clinical datasets (plasma and urine data) obtained from white (n = 16, men and women) and Asian-Indian (n = 26, all men) subjects, with c.521 variants (TT, TC, and CC). The optimized CPI model successfully described the observed data using c.521T>C genotype, ethnicity, and sex as covariates. CPI hepatic active was 79% lower in 521CC relative to the wild type and 42% lower in Asian-Indians relative to white subjects, whereas CPI synthesis was 23% higher in male relative to female subjects. Parameter sensitivity analysis showed marginal impact of the assumption of CPI synthesis site (blood or liver), resulting in comparable recovery of plasma and urine CPI data. Lower magnitude of CPI-drug interaction was simulated in 521CC subjects, suggesting the risk of underestimation of CPI-drug interaction without prior OATP1B1 genotyping. The CPI model incorporates key covariates contributing to interindividual variability in its baseline and highlights the utility of the CPI modeling to facilitate the design of prospective clinical studies to maximize the sensitivity of this biomarker.

Abstract
Organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 and OATP1B3 are involved in the disposition of a variety of commonly prescribed drugs. The evaluation of OATP1B1/1B3 inhibition potential by investigational drugs is of interest during clinical drug development due to various adverse events associated with increased exposures of their substrates. Regulatory guidance documents on the in vitro assessment of OATP1B1/1B3 inhibition potential are conservative with up to a third of predictions resulting in false positives. This work investigated the utility of OATP1B1/1B3 endogenous biomarkers, coproporphyrin (CP)‐I and CP‐III, to assess clinical inhibition of OATP1B1/1B3 and potentially eliminate the need for prospective clinical drug‐drug interaction (DDI) studies. Correlations between CP‐I exposures and various OATP1B1 static DDI predictions were also evaluated. Glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB) 300/120 mg fixed‐dose combination is known to cause clinical inhibition of OATP1B1/1B3. In a clinical study evaluating the relative bioavailability of various formulations of GLE/PIB regimen, CP‐I peak plasma concentration (Cmax) ratio and 0–16‐hour area under the concentration‐time curve (AUC0–16) ratio relative to baseline increased with increasing GLE exposures, whereas there was a modest correlation between GLE exposure and CP‐III Cmax ratio but no correlation with CP‐III AUC0–16 ratio. This suggests that CP‐I is superior to CP‐III as an endogenous biomarker for evaluation of OATP1B1 inhibition. There was a significant correlation between CP‐I and GLE Cmax (R2 = 0.65; P < 0.001) across individual subjects. Correlation analysis between GLE OATP1B1 R values and CP‐I exposures (Cmax ratio and AUC0–16 ratio) suggests that an R value of > 3 can predict a biologically meaningful inhibition of OATP1B1 when the inhibitor clinical pharmacokinetic parameters are available.

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

Abstract
Coproporphyrin-I (CP-I) in plasma is a sensitive and specific endogenous probe for phenotyping organic anion transporting polypeptides 1B (OATP1B, encoded by SLCO1B). A few small-scale studies suggested that plasma CP-I concentration is affected by OATP1B1 polymorphism, but detailed studies are lacking. In this large-scale study, we measured plasma CP-I concentrations in 391 subjects from the Japanese general population, and evaluated the relationship between plasma CP-I concentrations and OATP1B1 polymorphisms to further assess the utility of plasma CP-I concentrations as an endogenous OATP1B probe. Plasma CP-I concentrations were 0.45 ± 0.12, 0.47 ± 0.16, 0.47 ± 0.20, 0.50 ± 0.15, 0.54 ± 0.14, and 0.74 ± 0.31 ng/mL in participants with OATP1B1*1b/*1b (n = 103), *1a/*1b (n = 122), *1a/*1a (n = 40), *1b/*15 (n = 74), *1a/*15 (n = 41), and *15/*15 (n = 11), respectively, showing an ascending rank order with significant difference (P < 0.0001). Post hoc analysis revealed significant increases in plasma CP-I concentration in OATP1B1*1b/*15 (P = 0.036), *1a/*15 (P = 0.0005), and *15/*15 (P = 0.0003) groups compared with the OATP1B1*1b/*1b group. There was no significant difference among OATP1B genotypes in plasma concentration of 3-carboxy-4-methyl-5-propyl-2-furanpropanoic acid, a uremic toxin reported to decrease OATP1B activity in vivo. These findings confirm the utility of plasma CP-I concentrations as an endogenous biomarker for phenotyping of OATP1B activity. Plasma CP-I concentration is potentially useful for the study of drug-drug interactions via OATP1B or individual dose adjustment of OATP1B substrates.

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.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the role of diltiazem on tacrolimus sparing in pediatric primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) and its relation to CYP3A4, CYP3A5, ABCB1, and SLCO1B3 polymorphisms. METHODS The PNS children treated with tacrolimus and with steady-state trough concentration (C0) were retrospectively collected. The impacts of diltiazem on tacrolimus dose-adjusted C0 (C0/D), target concentration achievement, and required dose were evaluated. Meanwhile, the relationship between the polymorphisms (including CYP3A4*1G, CYP3A5*3, ABCB1-C3435T, and SCLO1B3) and dose-sparing effect were investigated. RESULTS A total of 71 children with 535 concentrations, including 16 children with concomitant diltiazem, were involved. Significantly increased C0/D (94.0 vs 83.8 ng/mL per mg/kg, p = 0.038) and lower required daily dose of tacrolimus (0.056 vs 0.064 mg/kg, p = 0.003) were observed in patients co-administered with diltiazem. Subpopulation carrying CYP3A4*1G, CYP3A5*1, ABCB1-3435TT, or SLCO1B3-699AA was presented with enhanced increment in tacrolimus C0/D by 38.8-102.9%. CONCLUSION Moderate effect of diltiazem on tacrolimus sparing, which might relate to the polymorphisms of CYP3A4, CYP3A5, ABCB1, and SLCO1B3, was documented.

Membrane transporter data to support kinetically-informed chemical risk assessment using non-animal methods: Scientific and regulatory perspectives. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2019; 126:659-671.

Abstract
Humans are continuously exposed to low levels of thousands of industrial chemicals, most of which are poorly characterised in terms of their potential toxicity. The new paradigm in chemical risk assessment (CRA) aims to rely on animal-free testing, with kinetics being a key determinant of toxicity when moving from traditional animal studies to integrated in vitro-in silico approaches. In a kinetically informed CRA, membrane transporters, which have been intensively studied during drug development, are an essential piece of information. However, how existing knowledge on transporters gained in the drug field can be applied to CRA is not yet fully understood. This review outlines the opportunities, challenges and existing tools for investigating chemical-transporter interactions in kinetically informed CRA without animal studies. Various environmental chemicals acting as substrates, inhibitors or modulators of transporter activity or expression have been shown to impact TK, just as drugs do. However, because pollutant concentrations are often lower in humans than drugs and because exposure levels and internal chemical doses are not usually known in contrast to drugs, new approaches are required to translate transporter data and reasoning from the drug sector to CRA. Here, the generation of in vitro chemical-transporter interaction data and the development of transporter databases and classification systems trained on chemical datasets (and not only drugs) are proposed. Furtheremore, improving the use of human biomonitoring data to evaluate the in vitro-in silico transporter-related predicted values and developing means to assess uncertainties could also lead to increase confidence of scientists and regulators in animal-free CRA. Finally, a systematic characterisation of the transportome (quantitative monitoring of transporter abundance, activity and maintenance over time) would reinforce confidence in the use of experimental transporter/barrier systems as well as in established cell-based toxicological assays currently used for CRA.

Effect of Rifampicin on the Plasma Concentrations of Bile Acid-O-Sulfates in Monkeys and Human Liver-Transplanted Chimeric Mice With or Without Bile Flow Diversion. J Pharm Sci 2019; 108:2756-2764.

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

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