Abstract
Neurotropic viruses may cause meningitis, myelitis, encephalitis, or meningoencephalitis. These inflammatory conditions of the central nervous system (CNS) may have serious and devastating consequences if not treated adequately. In this review, we first summarize how neurotropic viruses can enter the CNS by (1) crossing the blood-brain barrier or blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier; (2) invading the nose via the olfactory route; or (3) invading the peripheral nervous system. Neurotropic viruses may then enter the intracellular space of brain cells via endocytosis and/or membrane fusion. Antiviral drugs are currently used for different viral CNS infections, even though their use and dosing regimens within the CNS, with the exception of acyclovir, are minimally supported by clinical evidence. We therefore provide considerations to optimize drug treatment(s) for these neurotropic viruses. Antiviral drugs should cross the blood-brain barrier/blood cerebrospinal fluid barrier and pass the brain cellular membrane to inhibit these viruses inside the brain cells. Some antiviral drugs may also require intracellular conversion into their active metabolite(s). This illustrates the need to better understand these mechanisms because these processes dictate drug exposure within the CNS that ultimately determine the success of antiviral drugs for CNS infections. Finally, we discuss mathematical model-based approaches for optimizing antiviral treatments. Thereby emphasizing the potential of CNS physiologically based pharmacokinetic models because direct measurement of brain intracellular exposure in living humans faces ethical restrictions. Existing physiologically based pharmacokinetic models combined with in vitro pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic information can be used to predict drug exposure and evaluate efficacy of antiviral drugs within the CNS, to ultimately optimize the treatments of CNS viral infections.

Improvement of Protein Expression Profile in Three-Dimensional Renal Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cell Spheroids Selected Based on OAT1 Gene Expression: A Potential In Vitro Tool for Evaluating Human Renal Proximal Tubular Toxicity and Drug Disposition. Drug Metab Dispos 2023; 51:1177-1187. [PMID: 37385755 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.122.001171] [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: 10/23/2022] [Revised: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 07/01/2023] Open
Abstract
The proximal tubule plays an important role in the kidney and is a major site of drug interaction and toxicity. Analysis of kidney toxicity via in vitro assays is challenging, because only a few assays that reflect functions of drug transporters in renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTECs) are available. In this study, we aimed to develop a simple and reproducible method for culturing RPTECs by monitoring organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) as a selection marker. Culturing RPTECs in spherical cellular aggregates increased OAT1 protein expression, which was low in the conventional two-dimensional (2D) culture, to a level similar to that in human renal cortices. By proteome analysis, it was revealed that the expression of representative two proximal tubule markers was maintained and 3D spheroid culture improved the protein expression of approximately 7% of the 139 transporter proteins detected, and the expression of 2.3% of the 4,800 proteins detected increased by approximately fivefold that in human renal cortices. Furthermore, the expression levels of approximately 4,800 proteins in three-dimensional (3D) RPTEC spheroids (for 12 days) were maintained for over 20 days. Cisplatin and adefovir exhibited transporter-dependent ATP decreases in 3D RPTEC spheroids. These results indicate that the 3D RPTEC spheroids developed by monitoring OAT1 gene expression are a simple and reproducible in vitro experimental system with improved gene and protein expressions compared with 2D RPTECs and were more similar to that in human kidney cortices. Therefore, it can potentially be used for evaluating human renal proximal tubular toxicity and drug disposition. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This study developed a simple and reproducible spheroidal culture method with acceptable throughput using commercially available RPTECs by monitoring OAT1 gene expression. RPTECs cultured using this new method showed improved mRNA/protein expression profiles to those in 2D RPTECs and were more similar to those of human kidney cortices. This study provides a potential in vitro proximal tubule system for pharmacokinetic and toxicological evaluations during drug development.

Abstract
During new drug development, clinical drug interaction studies are carried out in accordance with the mechanism of potential drug interactions evaluated by in vitro studies. The obtained information should be provided efficiently to medical experts through package inserts and various information materials after the drug's launch. A recently updated Japanese guideline presents general procedures that are considered scientifically valid at the present moment. In this review, we aim to highlight the viewpoints of the Japanese guideline and enumerate drugs that were involved or are anticipated to be involved in evident pharmacokinetic drug interactions and classify them by their clearance pathway and potential intensity based on systematic reviews of the literature. The classification would be informative for designing clinical studies during the development stage, and the appropriate management of drug interactions in clinical practice.

Evaluation of Hepatic Uptake of OATP1B Substrates by Short Term-Cultured Plated Human Hepatocytes: Comparison With Isolated Suspended Hepatocytes. J Pharm Sci 2020; 110:376-387.

Abstract
Hepatic uptake clearance has been measured in suspended human hepatocytes (SHH). Plated human hepatocytes (PHH) after short-term culturing are increasingly employed to study hepatic transport driven mainly by its higher throughput. To know pros/cons of both systems, the hepatic uptake clearances of several organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B substrates were compared between PHH and SHH by determining the initial uptake velocities or through dynamic model-based analyses. For cerivastatin, pitavastatin and rosuvastatin, initial uptake clearances (PSinf) obtained using PHH were comparable to those using SHH, while cell-to-medium concentration (C/M) ratios were 2.7- to 5.4-fold higher. For pravastatin and dehydropravastatin, hydrophilic compounds with low uptake/cellular binding, their PSinf and C/M ratio in PHH were 1.8- to 3.2-fold lower than those in SHH. These hydrophilic substrates are more prone to wash-off during the uptake study using PHH, which may explain the apparently lower uptake than SHH. The C/M ratios obtained using PHH were stable over an extended time, making PHH suitable to estimate the C/M ratios and hepatocyte-to-medium unbound concentration ratios (Kp,uu). In conclusion, PHH is useful in evaluating hepatic uptake/efflux clearances and Kp,uu of OATP1B substrates in a high-throughput manner, however, a caution is warranted for hydrophilic drugs with low uptake/cellular binding.

Organic anion transporters, OAT1 and OAT3, are crucial biopterin transporters involved in bodily distribution of tetrahydrobiopterin and exclusion of its excess. Mol Cell Biochem 2017; 435:97-108.

Abstract
Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is a common coenzyme of phenylalanine-, tyrosine-, and tryptophan hydroxylases, alkylglycerol monooxygenase, and NO synthases (NOS). Synthetic BH4 is used medicinally for BH4-responsive phenylketonuria and inherited BH4 deficiency. BH4 supplementation has also drawn attention as a therapy for various NOS-related cardio-vascular diseases, but its use has met with limited success in decreasing BH2, the oxidized form of BH4. An increase in the BH2/BH4 ratio leads to NOS dysfunction. Previous studies revealed that BH4 supplementation caused a rapid urinary loss of BH4 accompanied by an increase in the blood BH2/BH4 ratio and an involvement of probenecid-sensitive but unknown transporters was strongly suggested in these processes. Here we show that OAT1 and OAT3 enabled cells to take up BP (BH4 and/or BH2) in a probenecid-sensitive manner using rat kidney slices and transporter-expressing cell systems, LLC-PK1 cells and Xenopus oocytes. Both OAT1 and OAT3 preferred BH2 and sepiapterin as their substrate roughly 5- to 10-fold more than BH4. Administration of probenecid acutely reduced the urinary exclusion of endogenous BP accompanied by a rise in blood BP in vivo. These results indicated that OAT1 and OAT3 played crucial roles: (1) in determining baseline levels of blood BP by excluding endogenous BP through the urine, (2) in the rapid distribution to organs of exogenous BH4 and the exclusion to urine of a BH4 excess, particularly when BH4 was administered, and (3) in scavenging blood BH2 by cellular uptake as the gateway to the salvage pathway of BH4, which reduces BH2 back to BH4.

Abstract
Transporters in proximal renal tubules contribute to the disposition of numerous drugs. Furthermore, the molecular mechanisms of tubular secretion have been progressively elucidated during the past decades. Organic anions tend to be secreted by the transport proteins OAT1, OAT3 and OATP4C1 on the basolateral side of tubular cells, and multidrug resistance protein (MRP) 2, MRP4, OATP1A2 and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) on the apical side. Organic cations are secreted by organic cation transporter (OCT) 2 on the basolateral side, and multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) proteins MATE1, MATE2/2-K, P-glycoprotein, organic cation and carnitine transporter (OCTN) 1 and OCTN2 on the apical side. Significant drug-drug interactions (DDIs) may affect any of these transporters, altering the clearance and, consequently, the efficacy and/or toxicity of substrate drugs. Interactions at the level of basolateral transporters typically decrease the clearance of the victim drug, causing higher systemic exposure. Interactions at the apical level can also lower drug clearance, but may be associated with higher renal toxicity, due to intracellular accumulation. Whereas the importance of glomerular filtration in drug disposition is largely appreciated among clinicians, DDIs involving renal transporters are less well recognized. This review summarizes current knowledge on the roles, quantitative importance and clinical relevance of these transporters in drug therapy. It proposes an approach based on substrate-inhibitor associations for predicting potential tubular-based DDIs and preventing their adverse consequences. We provide a comprehensive list of known drug interactions with renally-expressed transporters. While many of these interactions have limited clinical consequences, some involving high-risk drugs (e.g. methotrexate) definitely deserve the attention of prescribers.

Abstract
A comprehensive weight-of-the-evidence evaluation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) was conducted for potential interactions with the estrogen, androgen and thyroid pathways and with steroidogenesis. This assessment was based on an extensive database of high quality in vitro, in vivo ecotoxicological and in vivo mammalian toxicological studies. Epidemiological studies were also considered. Toxicokinetic data provided the basis for determining rational cutoffs above which exposures were considered irrelevant to humans based on exceeding thresholds for saturation of renal clearance (TSRC); extensive human exposure and biomonitoring data support that these boundaries far exceed human exposures and provide ample margins of exposure. 2,4-D showed no evidence of interacting with the estrogen or androgen pathways. 2,4-D interacts with the thyroid axis in rats through displacement of thyroxine from plasma binding sites only at high doses exceeding the TSRC in mammals. 2,4-D effects on steroidogenesis parameters are likely related to high-dose specific systemic toxicity at doses exceeding the TSRC and are not likely to be endocrine mediated. No studies, including high quality studies in the published literature, predict significant endocrine-related toxicity or functional decrements in any species at environmentally relevant concentrations, or, in mammals, at doses below the TSRC that are relevant for human hazard and risk assessment. Overall, there is no basis for concern regarding potential interactions of 2,4-D with endocrine pathways or axes (estrogen, androgen, steroidogenesis or thyroid), and thus 2,4-D is unlikely to pose a threat from endocrine disruption to wildlife or humans under conditions of real-world exposures.

Eur J Pharm Sci 2016; 94:59-71. [PMID: 27033147 PMCID: PMC5074076 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2016.03.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2016] [Revised: 03/02/2016] [Accepted: 03/22/2016] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Develop a minimal mechanistic model based on in vitro-in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) principles to predict extent of passive tubular reabsorption. Assess the ability of the model developed to predict extent of passive tubular reabsorption (Freab) and renal excretion clearance (CLR) from in vitro permeability data and tubular physiological parameters. METHODS Model system parameters were informed by physiological data collated following extensive literature analysis. A database of clinical CLR was collated for 157 drugs. A subset of 45 drugs was selected for model validation; for those, Caco-2 permeability (Papp) data were measured under pH6.5-7.4 gradient conditions and used to predict Freab and subsequently CLR. An empirical calibration approach was proposed to account for the effect of inter-assay/laboratory variation in Papp on the IVIVE of Freab. RESULTS The 5-compartmental model accounted for regional differences in tubular surface area and flow rates and successfully predicted the extent of tubular reabsorption of 45 drugs for which filtration and reabsorption were contributing to renal excretion. Subsequently, predicted CLR was within 3-fold of the observed values for 87% of drugs in this dataset, with an overall gmfe of 1.96. Consideration of the empirical calibration method improved overall prediction of CLR (gmfe=1.73 for 34 drugs in the internal validation dataset), in particular for basic drugs and drugs with low extent of tubular reabsorption. CONCLUSIONS The novel 5-compartment model represents an important addition to the IVIVE toolbox for physiologically-based prediction of renal tubular reabsorption and CLR. Physiological basis of the model proposed allows its application in future mechanistic kidney models in preclinical species and human.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to determine the absolute protein expression levels of various transporters in renal brush-border membrane (BBM) and basolateral membrane (BLM) fractions, in order to understand the quantitative differences in average transport activities among different transporters at each cellular membrane. BBM and BLM fractions of rat kidney were prepared and digested with trypsin, and simultaneous absolute quantification of 28 transporters and a BLM marker, Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase, was performed using our established quantitative-targeted absolute proteomics (QTAP) technique. In BBM fraction, the protein expression levels of bcrp, urat1, mate1, octl1, mrp4, mdr1a, and abca3 were 40.3, 22.2, 8.90, 4.85, 4.69, 3.22, and 0.976 fmol/μg protein, respectively. In BLM fraction, the protein expression levels of oat1, oat3, oct1, mrp6, and mrp1 were 10.6, 10.2, 4.59, 0.724, and 0.271 fmol/μg protein, respectively. The expression levels of abca2, abca4, abca5, abca12, abcb4, mrp5, abcc9, abcg1, abcg5, lat1, ntcp, pgt, oatp2b1, oatp1b2, oatp3a1, and oct3 were under the limit of quantification in both fractions. The quantitative transporter protein expression profiles at these membranes, as determined by QTAP analysis, should be helpful to understand the contributions of individual transporters to renal excretion of xenobiotics and endogenous compounds.

Abstract
Background Nucleoside analogs labeled with positrons, such as 11C and 18F, are considered valuable in visualizing the proliferative activity of tumor cells in vivo using positron emission tomography (PET). We recently developed the 11C-labeled thymidine analogs [11C]zidovudine ([11C]AZT) and [11C]stavudine ([11C]d4T) via the Pd(0)-Cu(I) co-mediated rapid C–C coupling reaction. In this study, to examine whether [11C]AZT and [11C]d4T might be useful for visualization of tumors in vivo, we performed PET imaging, tissue distribution studies, and metabolite analysis in tumor-bearing mice. Methods Mice bearing tumors (rat glioma C6 and human cervical adenocarcinoma HeLa cells) were injected with 50 MBq of [11C]AZT or [11C]d4T, and PET was performed immediately thereafter. After PET imaging, the radioactivity in several tissues, including tumor tissues, was measured using a γ-counter. In addition, radioactive metabolites in plasma, bile, intestinal contents, and tumor were analyzed using thin layer chromatography (TLC). Cellular uptake of [11C]AZT in C6 was measured in the presence or absence of non-labeled thymidine (0.1 mM). Results In PET studies, C6 and HeLa tumors in mice were clearly visualized using [11C]AZT. Time-activity curves using [11C]AZT showed that the accumulation of radioactivity in tumors plateaued at 10 min after injection and persisted for 60 min, while most of the radioactivity in other tissues was rapidly excreted into the urine. In various tissues of the body, tumor tissue showed the highest radioactivity at 80 min after injection (five to six times higher uptake than that of blood). Compared with tumor tissue, uptake was lower in other proliferative tissues such as the spleen, intestine, and bone marrow, resulting in a high tumor-to-bone marrow ratio. Cellular uptake of [11C]AZT in C6 cells was completely blocked by the application of thymidine, strongly indicating the specific involvement of nucleoside transporters. In contrast, the time-activity curve of [11C]d4T in the tumor showed transient and rapid excretion with almost no obvious tumor tissue accumulation. Conclusions Tumors can be detected by PET using [11C]AZT; therefore, [11C]AZT could be useful as a novel PET tracer for tumor imaging in vivo.

Abstract
There has been increasing interest in the use of circulating DNA as biomarkers for various tissue injuries, cancers, and fetal conditions. DNA methylation is a well-characterized mechanism underlying the epigenetic regulation of gene expression, and many diagnostic tests based on DNA methylation patterns have been developed. We developed a novel TaqMan-based assay for the detection of acute kidney injury using a hypomethylated promoter region of Slc22a12, a urate transporter specifically expressed in proximal tubular cells. Bisulfite sequencing analysis confirmed that the CpG islands in the promoter region of mouse Slc22a12 were preferentially hypomethylated in the kidney cortex. TaqMan minor groove binder (MGB) probes reliably discriminated the DNA fragments corresponding to the unmethylated and methylated promoter regions of Slc22a12. Plasma levels of unmethylated DNA corresponding to the Slc22a12 promoter region were undetectable at baseline and were significantly elevated after acute kidney cortex necrosis. This study showed the usefulness of the TaqMan system in discriminating methylated and unmethylated DNA fragments, and the similar strategy can be applied for establishing biomarkers for various cellular injuries or pathological conditions.

Abstract
The organic anion transporter (OAT) subfamily, which constitutes roughly half of the SLC22 (solute carrier 22) transporter family, has received a great deal of attention because of its role in handling of common drugs (antibiotics, antivirals, diuretics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), toxins (mercury, aristolochic acid), and nutrients (vitamins, flavonoids). Oats are expressed in many tissues, including kidney, liver, choroid plexus, olfactory mucosa, brain, retina, and placenta. Recent metabolomics and microarray data from Oat1 [Slc22a6, originally identified as NKT (novel kidney transporter)] and Oat3 (Slc22a8) knockouts, as well as systems biology studies, indicate that this pathway plays a central role in the metabolism and handling of gut microbiome metabolites as well as putative uremic toxins of kidney disease. Nuclear receptors and other transcription factors, such as Hnf4α and Hnf1α, appear to regulate the expression of certain Oats in conjunction with phase I and phase II drug metabolizing enzymes. Some Oats have a strong selectivity for particular signaling molecules, including cyclic nucleotides, conjugated sex steroids, odorants, uric acid, and prostaglandins and/or their metabolites. According to the "Remote Sensing and Signaling Hypothesis," which is elaborated in detail here, Oats may function in remote interorgan communication by regulating levels of signaling molecules and key metabolites in tissues and body fluids. Oats may also play a major role in interorganismal communication (via movement of small molecules across the intestine, placental barrier, into breast milk, and volatile odorants into the urine). The role of various Oat isoforms in systems physiology appears quite complex, and their ramifications are discussed in the context of remote sensing and signaling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acyclovir is acyclic guanosine derivative. Benzylpenicillin (PCG) is a β-lactam antibiotic. The purpose of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetic drug-drug interaction (DDI) between PCG and acyclovir. METHOD When acyclovir and PCG were co-administered, plasma concentration of acyclovir, urinary excretion of acyclovir in vivo, uptake of acyclovir in kidney slices and uptake of acyclovir in human (h) OAT1/hOAT3- HEK293 cells were determined to examine the effect of PCG on urinary excretion of acyclovir. RESULTS The plasma concentration of acyclovir was increased markedly and accumulative renal excretion and renal clearance of acyclovir were decreased significantly after intravenous administration of acyclovir in combination with PCG. PCG could decrease the uptake of acyclovir in kidney slices and in hOAT1-/hOAT3-human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells. CONCLUSIONS It indicates that acyclovir is a substrate for OAT1 and OAT3. PCG inhibits the renal excretion of acyclovir by inhibiting renal transporters OAT1 and OAT3 in vivo and in vitro. These results suggest important information for DDI between PCG and acyclovir in kidney.

Abstract
Life-stage-dependent toxicity and dose-dependent toxicokinetics (TK) were evaluated in Sprague Dawley rats following dietary exposure to 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). 2,4-D renal clearance is impacted by dose-dependent saturation of the renal organic anion transporter; thus, this study focused on identifying inflection points of onset of dietary nonlinear TK to inform dose selection decisions for toxicity studies. Male and female rats were fed 2,4-D-fortified diets at doses to 1600 ppm for 4-weeks premating, <2 weeks during mating, and to test day (TD) 71 to parental (P1) males and to P1 females through gestation/lactation to TD 96. F1 offspring were exposed via milk with continuing diet exposure until postnatal day (PND) 35. As assessed by plasma area under the curve for the time-course plasma concentration, nonlinear TK was observed ≥ 1200 ppm (63 mg/kg/day) for P1 males and between 200 and 400 ppm (14-27 mg/kg/day) for P1 females. Dam milk and pup plasma levels were higher on lactation day (LD) 14 than LD 4. Relative to P1 adults, 2,4-D levels were higher in dams during late gestation/lactation and postweaning pups (PND 21-35) and coincided with elevated intake of diet/kg body weight. Using conventional maximum tolerated dose (MTD) criteria based on body weight changes for dose selection would have resulted in excessive top doses approximately 2-fold higher than those identified incorporating critical TK data. These data indicate that demonstration of nonlinear TK, if present at dose levels substantially above real-world human exposures, is a key dose selection consideration for improving the human relevance of toxicity studies compared with studies employing conventional MTD dose selection strategies.

Abstract
2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) was assessed for systemic toxicity, reproductive toxicity, developmental neurotoxicity (DNT), developmental immunotoxicity (DIT), and endocrine toxicity. CD rats (27/sex/dose) were exposed to 0, 100, 300, 600 (female), or 800 (male) ppm 2,4-D in diet. Nonlinear toxicokinetic behavior was shown at high doses; the renal clearance saturation threshold for 2,4-D was exceeded markedly in females and slightly exceeded in males. Exposure was 4 weeks premating, 7 weeks postmating for P1 males and through lactation for P1 females. F1 offspring were examined for survival and development, and at weaning, pups were divided in cohorts, by sex and dose, and by systemic toxicity (10), DNT (10), DIT (20), and reproductive toxicity (≥ 23). Remaining weanlings were evaluated for systemic toxicity and neuropathology (10–12). Body weight decreased during lactation in high-dose P1 females and in F1 pups. Kidney was the primary target organ, with slight degeneration of proximal convoluted tubules observed in high-dose P1 males and in high-dose F1 males and females. A slight intergenerational difference in kidney toxicity was attributed to increased intake of 2,4-D in F1 offspring. Decreased weanling testes weights and delayed preputial separation in F1 males were attributed to decreased body weights. Endocrine-related effects were limited to slight thyroid hormone changes and adaptive histopathology in high-dose GD 17 dams seen only at a nonlinear toxicokinetic dose. 2,4-D did not cause reproductive toxicity, DNT, or DIT. The “No Observed Adverse Effect Level” for systemic toxicity was 300 ppm in both males (16.6mg/kg/day) and females (20.6mg/kg/day), which is approximately 6700- to 93 000-fold higher than that reported for 2,4-D exposures in human biomonitoring studies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Renal uptake of Tc-99m-MG3 involves organic anion transporter (OAT). Treatment with drugs showing OAT affinity might interfere with renal uptake of Tc-99m-MAG3, leading to misinterpretation in Tc-99m-MAG3. This study was conducted to discuss a possible drug interference with Tc-99m-MAG3 diagnosis on OAT sites. METHODS Renal uptake and plasma clearance of Tc-99m-MAG3 were analyzed in healthy volunteers under control and OAT1 and OAT3 related drug treatment conditions. An in vitro uptake study using OAT1 or OAT3 expressing cells was also conducted. RESULTS Both PAH and probenecid treatment induced delays in Tc-99m-MAG3 clearance from blood, and reductions in the renal uptake clearance. As a result, the normalized effective renal plasma flow estimated from Tc-99m-MAG3 clearance was significantly underestimated, whereas the glomerular filtration rate estimated from plasma creatinine levels was unchanged. The transport activity of Tc-99m-MAG3 was higher in OAT1-expressing cells than in OAT3-expressing cells. CONCLUSION Drugs with OAT1 affinity affect the renal uptake of Tc-99m-MAG3 and blood clearance. This might cause misinterpretation of functional diagnosis of the kidney using Tc-99m-MAG3.

Abstract
When herbal products are used in combination therapy with drugs, alterations in pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and toxicity can result. Many active components of herbal products are organic anions, and human organic anion transporter 1 (hOAT1, SLC22A6), hOAT3 (SLC22A8), and hOAT4 (SLC22A11) have been identified as potential sites of drug-drug interactions. Therefore, we assessed the effects of lithospermic acid (LSA), rosmarinic acid (RMA), salvianolic acid A (SAA), salvianolic acid B (SAB), and tanshinol (TSL), components of the herbal medicine Danshen, on the function of these transporters. Kinetic analysis demonstrated a competitive mechanism of inhibition for all five. K(i) values (µM) were estimated as 20.8 ± 2.1 (LSA), 0.35 ± 0.06 (RMA), 5.6 ± 0.3 (SAA), 22.2 ± 1.9 (SAB), and 40.4 ± 12.9 (TSL) on hOAT1 and as 0.59 ± 0.26 (LSA), 0.55 ± 0.25 (RMA), 0.16 ± 0.03 (SAA), 19.8 ± 8.4 (SAB), and 8.6 ± 3.3 (TSL) on hOAT3. No significant inhibition of hOAT4 activity by TSL was observed. Using published human pharmacokinetic values, unbound C(max)/K(i) ratios were calculated as an indicator of in vivo drug-drug interaction potential. Analysis indicated a strong interaction potential for RMA and TSL on both hOAT1 and hOAT3 and for LSA on hOAT3. Thus, herb-drug interactions may occur in vivo in situations of co-administration of Danshen and clinical therapeutics known to be hOAT1/hOAT3 substrates.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to evaluate mechanistic pharmacokinetic models describing active renal secretion and reabsorption over a range of Michaelis-Menten parameter estimates and doses. Plasma concentration and urinary excretion profiles were simulated and renal clearance (CL(r)) was calculated for two pharmacokinetic models describing active renal reabsorption (R1/R2), two models describing active secretion (S1/S2), and a model containing both processes. A range of doses (1-1,000 mg/kg) was evaluated, and V (max) and K (m) parameter estimates were varied over a 100-fold range. Similar CL(r) values were predicted for reabsorption models (R1/R2) with variations in V (max) and K (m). Tubular secretion models (S1/S2) yielded similar relationships between Michaelis-Menten parameter perturbations and CL(r), but the predicted CL(r) values were threefold higher for model S1. For both reabsorption and secretion models, the greatest changes in CL(r) were observed with perturbations in V (max), suggesting the need for an accurate estimate of this parameter. When intrinsic clearance was substituted for Michaelis-Menten parameters, it failed to predict similar CL(r) values even within the linear range. For models S1 and S2, renal secretion was predominant at low doses, whereas renal clearance was driven by fraction unbound in plasma at high doses. Simulations demonstrated the importance of Michaelis-Menten parameter estimates (especially V (max)) for determining CL(r). K (m) estimates can easily be obtained directly from in vitro studies. However, additional scaling of in vitro V (max) estimates using in vitro/in vivo extrapolation methods are required to incorporate these parameters into pharmacokinetic models.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the effect of the fluoroquinolone DX-619 on CYP3A4 and urinary excretion of 6β-hydroxycortisol, an endogenous probe of hepatic CYP3A4 activity, in healthy subjects. METHODS The effect of DX-619 on CYP3A4 was examined in human liver microsomes. The apparent formation and renal clearance of 6β-hydroxycortisol (CL(6β-OHF) and CL(renal,6β-OHF), respectively) were determined in placebo- and DX-619-treated subjects. 6β-hydroxycortisol uptake was determined in HEK293 cells expressing OAT1, OAT3, OCT2, MATE1, and MATE2-K. RESULTS DX-619 was a mechanism-based inhibitor of CYP3A4, with K(I) and k(inact) of 67.9 ± 7.3 μmol/l and 0.0730 ± 0.0033 min(-1), respectively. Pharmacokinetic simulation suggested in vivo relevance of CYP3A4 inhibition by DX-619. CL(6β-OHF) and CL(renal,6β-OHF) were decreased 72% and 70%, respectively, on day 15 in DX-619-treated group compared with placebo (P < 0.05). 6β-hydroxycortisol was a substrate of OAT3 (K(m) = 183 ± 25 μmol/l), OCT2, MATE1, and MATE2-K. Maximum unbound concentration of DX-619 (9.1 ± 0.4 μmol/l) was above K(i) of DX-619 for MATE1 (4.32 ± 0.79 μmol/l). CONCLUSIONS DX-619 caused a moderate inhibition of hepatic CYP3A4-mediated formation and significant inhibition of MATE-mediated efflux of 6β-hydroxycortisol into urine. Caution is needed in applying CL(6β-OHF) as an index of hepatic CYP3A4 activity without evaluating CL(renal,6β-OHF).

Abstract
Common to all so far functionally characterized Organic Anion Transporters (OATs) is their broad substrate specificity and their ability to exchange extracellular against intracellular organic anions. Many OATs occur in renal proximal tubules, the site of active drug secretion. Exceptions are murine Oat6 (nasal epithelium), human OAT7 (liver), and rat Oat8 (renal collecting ducts). In human kidneys, OAT1, OAT2, and OAT3 are localized in the basolateral membrane, and OAT4, OAT10, and URAT1 in the apical cell membrane of proximal tubule cells, respectively. In rats and mice, Oat1 and Oat3 are located basolaterally, and Oat2, Oat5, Oat9, Oat10, and Urat1 apically. Several classes of drugs interact with human OAT1-3, including ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, diuretics, HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, β-lactam antibiotics, antineoplastic and antiviral drugs, and uricosuric drugs. For most drugs, interaction was demonstrated in vitro by inhibition of OAT-mediated transport of model substrates; for some drugs, transport by OATs was directly proven. Based on IC₅₀ values reported in the literature, OAT1 and OAT3 show comparable affinities for diuretics, cephalosporins, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs whereas OAT2 has a lower affinity to most of these compounds. Drug-drug interactions at OAT1 and OAT3 may retard renal drug secretion and cause untoward effects. OAT4, OAT10, and URAT1 in the apical membrane contribute to proximal tubular urate absorption, and OAT10 to nicotinate absorption. OAT4 is in addition able to release drugs, e.g. diuretics, into the tubule lumen.

Abstract
We have reported previously that the kidney- and liver-specific expression of transporters in mice involves the coordinated regulation by hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 (HNF1) and DNA methylation. The present study was aimed at investigating the role of this cascade in the transcriptional regulation of renal organic anion transporters (OATs) yet to be characterized in human and mouse. Luciferase assays and electrophoretic mobility-shift assays demonstrated that HNF1α/β enhances the promoter activity of OAT4/SLC22A11 via binding to the HNF1 motif located near the transcriptional start site (TSS). DNA methylation profiles of human OAT1, OAT3, OAT4, and urate transporter 1 (URAT1) were determined in human liver and kidney cortex by bisulfite sequencing. Most of the CpG dinucleotides around the TSSs of OAT1 and OAT3 were highly methylated in the liver compared with kidney cortex, being consistent with their tissue specificity, whereas the difference in the DNA methylation status was less remarkable between the two tissues for OAT4 and URAT1. Mouse Oat1 gene also contained CpG dinucleotides hypomethylated in the kidney and hypermethylated in the liver downstream its TSS, whereas two of the seven CpG dinucleotides around the TSS of mouse Oat3 were significantly methylated in the liver compared with the kidney. Taken together, these findings underscored the central role of HNF1α/β in the transcriptional regulation of OATs and highlighted DNA methylation-dependent gene silencing as one of the mechanisms underlying the tissue-specific transactivation by this master regulator.

Abstract
The main kidney transporter of many commonly prescribed drugs (e.g. penicillins, diuretics, antivirals, methotrexate, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) is organic anion transporter-1 (OAT1), originally identified as NKT (Lopez-Nieto, C. E., You, G., Bush, K. T., Barros, E. J., Beier, D. R., and Nigam, S. K. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 6471-6478). Targeted metabolomics in knockouts have shown that OAT1 mediates the secretion or reabsorption of many important metabolites, including intermediates in carbohydrate, fatty acid, and amino acid metabolism. This observation raises the possibility that OAT1 helps regulate broader metabolic activities. We therefore examined the potential roles of OAT1 in metabolic pathways using Recon 1, a functionally tested genome-scale reconstruction of human metabolism. A computational approach was used to analyze in vivo metabolomic as well as transcriptomic data from wild-type and OAT1 knock-out animals, resulting in the implication of several metabolic pathways, including the citric acid cycle, polyamine, and fatty acid metabolism. Validation by in vitro and ex vivo analysis using Xenopus oocyte, cell culture, and kidney tissue assays demonstrated interactions between OAT1 and key intermediates in these metabolic pathways, including previously unknown substrates, such as polyamines (e.g. spermine and spermidine). A genome-scale metabolic network reconstruction generated some experimentally supported predictions for metabolic pathways linked to OAT1-related transport. The data support the possibility that the SLC22 and other families of transporters, known to be expressed in many tissues and primarily known for drug and toxin clearance, are integral to a number of endogenous pathways and may be involved in a larger remote sensing and signaling system (Ahn, S. Y., and Nigam, S. K. (2009) Mol. Pharmacol. 76, 481-490, and Wu, W., Dnyanmote, A. V., and Nigam, S. K. (2011) Mol. Pharmacol. 79, 795-805). Drugs may alter metabolism by competing for OAT1 binding of metabolites.

Abstract
Organic anion transporters 1-10 (OAT1-10) and the urate transporter 1 (URAT1) belong to the SLC22A gene family and accept a huge variety of chemically unrelated endogenous and exogenous organic anions including many frequently described drugs. OAT1 and OAT3 are located in the basolateral membrane of renal proximal tubule cells and are responsible for drug uptake from the blood into the cells. OAT4 in the apical membrane of human proximal tubule cells is related to drug exit into the lumen and to uptake of estrone sulfate and urate from the lumen into the cell. URAT1 is the major urate-absorbing transporter in the apical membrane and is a target for uricosuric drugs. OAT10, also located in the luminal membrane, transports nicotinate with high affinity and interacts with drugs. Major extrarenal locations of OATs include the blood-brain barrier for OAT3, the placenta for OAT4, the nasal epithelium for OAT6, and the liver for OAT2 and OAT7. For all transporters we provide information on cloning, tissue distribution, factors influencing OAT abundance, interaction with endogenous compounds and different drug classes, drug/drug interactions and, if known, single nucleotide polymorphisms.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the mechanism underlying the elevation in serum creatinine levels caused by a novel des-fluoro(6)-quinolone antibacterial agent, DX-619, in healthy subjects. hOCT2 showed a prominent uptake of creatinine (K(m) = 56.4 mmol/l) among renal organic ion transporters. DX-619 is a potent inhibitor of hOCT2 (K(i) = 0.94 micromol/l), hMATE1 (0.82 µmol/l), and hMATE2-K (0.10 micromol/l). The pharmacokinetic model involving the inhibition of hOCT2 (model 1), hOCT2, and MATE1 or MATE2-K (model 2) could predict the elevation in serum creatinine levels in individual subjects receiving DX-619. This assumes that a significant contribution of tubular secretion (59, 38, and 31%) and reabsorption ranged from 3-50, 4-30, and 5-21% in model 1, -2a (hOCT2/hMATE1), and -2b (hOCT2/hMATE2-K), respectively, for creatinine. In conclusion, DX-619, at its therapeutic dose, is able to inhibit hOCT2, hMATE1, and hMATE2-K, leading to a significant inhibition of tubular secretion of creatinine and consequently to elevation of serum creatinine levels.

Abstract
The organic anion transporters OAT1 (SLC22A6, originally identified by us as NKT) and OAT3 (SLC22A8) are critical for handling many toxins, metabolites, and drugs, including antivirals (Truong, D. M., Kaler, G., Khandelwal, A., Swaan, P. W., and Nigam, S. K. (2008) J. Biol. Chem. 283, 8654-8663). Although microinjected Xenopus oocytes and/or transfected cells indicate overlapping specificities, the individual contributions of these transporters in the three-dimensional context of the tissues in which they normally function remain unclear. Here, handling of HIV antivirals (stavudine, tenofovir, lamivudine, acyclovir, and zidovudine) was analyzed with three-dimensional ex vivo functional assays using knock-out tissue. To investigate the contribution of OAT1 and OAT3 in various nephron segments, the OAT-selective fluorescent tracer substrates 5-carboxyfluorescein and 6-carboxyfluorescein were used. Although OAT1 function (uptake in oat3(-/-) tissue) was confined to portions of the cortex, consistent with a proximal tubular localization, OAT3 function (uptake in oat1(-/-) tissue) was apparent throughout the cortex, indicating localization in the distal as well as proximal nephron. This functional localization indicates a complex three-dimensional context, which needs to be considered for metabolites, toxins, and drugs (e.g. antivirals) handled by both transporters. These results also raise the possibility of functional differences in the relative importance of OAT1 and OAT3 in antiviral handling in developing and mature tissue. Because the HIV antivirals are used in pregnant women, the results may also help in understanding how these drugs are handled by developing organs.

Abstract
There is growing interest in the use of statins, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, for treating specific neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., cerebrovascular disease, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis) and possibly traumatic brain injury. Neither is there a consensus on the efficacy of statins in treating the aforementioned diseases nor are the mechanisms of the purported statin-induced neuroprotection well-understood. Part of the support for statin-induced neuroprotection comes from studies using animal models and cell culture. Important information has resulted from that work but there continues to be a lack of progress on basic issues pertaining to statins and brain that impedes advancement in understanding how statins alter brain function. For example, there are scant data on the pharmacokinetics of lipophilic and hydrophilic statins in brain, statin-induced neuroprotection versus cell death, and statins and brain isoprenoids. The purpose of this mini-review will be to examine those aforementioned issues and to identify directions of future research.

Abstract
Animal models are used commonly in various stages of drug discovery and development to aid in the prospective assessment of drug-drug interaction (DDI) potential and the understanding of the underlying mechanism for DDI of a drug candidate. In vivo assessments in an appropriate animal model can be very valuable, when used in combination with in vitro systems, to help verify in vivo relevance of the in vitro animal-based results, and thus substantiate the extrapolation of in vitro human data to clinical outcomes. From a pharmacokinetic standpoint, a key consideration for rational selection of an animal model is based on broad similarities to humans in important physiological and biochemical parameters governing drug absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion (ADME) processes in question for both the perpetrator and victim drugs. Equally critical are specific in vitro and/or in vivo experiments to demonstrate those similarities, usually both qualitative and quantitative, in the ADME properties/processes under investigation. In this review, theoretical basis and specific examples are presented to illustrate the utility of the animal models in assessing the potential and understanding the mechanisms of DDIs.

Advances in the cytochrome P450 drug metabolizing enzyme field have been remarkable, but those in the drug transporter field have trailed behind. Currently, however, interest in carrier-mediated disposition of pharmacotherapeutics is on a substantial uprise. This is exemplified by the 2006 FDA guidance statement directed to the pharmaceutical industry. The guidance recommended that industry ascertain whether novel drug entities interact with transporters. This suggestion likely stems from the observation that several novel cloned transporters contribute significantly to the disposition of various approved drugs. Many drugs bear anionic functional groups, and thus interact with organic anion transporters (OATs). Collectively, these transporters are nearly ubiquitously expressed in barrier epithelia. Moreover, several reports indicate that OATs are subject to diverse forms of regulation, much like drug metabolizing enzymes and receptors. Thus, critical to furthering our understanding of patient- and condition-specific responses to pharmacotherapy is the complete characterization of OAT interactions with drugs and regulatory factors. This review provides the reader with a comprehensive account of the function and substrate profile of cloned OATs. In addition, a major focus of this review is on the regulation of OATs including the impact of transcriptional and epigenetic factors, phosphorylation, hormones and gender.

Abstract
Transporters govern drug movement into and out of tissues, thereby playing an important role in drug disposition in plasma and to the site of action. The molecular cloning of such transporters has clarified the importance of members of the solute carrier family, such as OATP/SLCO, OCT/SLC22, OAT/SLC22, and MATE/SLC47, and the ATP-binding cassette transporters, such as P-glycoprotein/ABCB1, MRPs/ABCC, and BCRP/ABCG2. Elucidation of molecular characteristics of transporters has allowed the identification of transporters as mechanisms for drug-drug interactions, and of interindividual differences in drug dispositions and responses. Cumulative studies have highlighted the cooperative roles of uptake transporters and metabolic enzymes/efflux transporters. In this way, the concept of a rate-limiting process in hepatic/renal elimination across epithelial cells has developed. This review illustrates the concept of the rate-limiting step in the hepatic elimination mediated by transporters, and describes the prediction of the in vivo pharmacokinetics of drugs whose disposition is determined by transporters, based on in vitro experiments using pravastatin as an example. This review also illustrates the transporters regulating the peripheral drug concentrations.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of this study was to elucidate the mechanism of ganciclovir uptake by the rabbit retina and the human retinal pigmented epithelium cell line ARPE-19. MATERIALS AND METHODS [(3)H]Adenine, [(3)H]adenosine, [(3)H]thymidine, and [(3)H]ganciclovir were used to elucidate the mechanism of ganciclovir uptake by the ARPE-19 cell line and the isolated rabbit retinal tissue. Uptake studies using ARPE-19 cell line and isolated rabbit retina were carried out at 37 degrees C and 25 degrees C, respectively, for 5 min. RESULTS Uptake of [(3)H]adenine by ARPE-19 cells decreased by 95% in the presence of unlabeled adenine. Other nucleobases such as guanine, thymine, and uracil and the nucleosides adenosine, guanosine, thymidine, uridine, and inosine also reduced uptake of [(3)H]adenine by the ARPE-19 cells. Although [(3)H]adenosine and [(3)H]thymidine uptake was inhibited by nucleosides, nucleobases did not demonstrate any inhibitory effect, indicating that nucleosides can only bind to the nucleobase transporter but are not translocated by it. Uptake of the nucleosides and nucleobases by the ARPE-19 cells was sodium and pH independent. [(3)H]adenosine and [(3)H]thymidine uptake by the ARPE-19 cells was inhibited by nanomolar quantities of nitrobenzylthioinosine. Uptake of [(3)H]adenine by the isolated rabbit retina was drastically reduced in the presence of unlabeled adenine. Unlabeled thymidine and guanosine, and removal of sodium from the uptake medium, inhibited uptake of [(3)H]thymidine by the rabbit retina. Nucleosides, nucleobases, and unlabeled ganciclovir did not exhibit any inhibitory effect on [(3)H]ganciclovir uptake by the isolated rabbit retina or ARPE-19 cells. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that although the rabbit retina and the ARPE-19 cell line express nucleoside and nucleobase transporters, translocation of ganciclovir does not involve any carrier-mediated transport process. Rather, ganciclovir uptake by the rabbit retina and ARPE-19 cells is governed primarily by passive diffusion.

Abstract
Because citrulline plasma concentration is elevated in kidney failure, citrulline could be a biomarker of renal insufficiency, although the mechanism regulating its disposition in the kidney has not been clarified. In rat kidney slices, citrulline uptake was apparently Na+ dependent, saturable with Km 556 μM, and significantly inhibited by anionic (PAH) and cationic (TEA) compounds, but not by probenecid at 1 mM. Preincubation of kidney slices with glutarate increased citrulline uptake, while such an increase was not observed after preincubation of the slices in Na+-free buffer. This result suggested that a sodium-dependent dicarboxylate cotransporter is involved in citrulline uptake by rat kidney slices. In studies using transporter-overexpressing cells, human organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) and rat Oat1 exhibited citrulline transport activity with Km values of 238 and 373 μM, respectively, while other OATs and organic cation transporters (OCTs) did not transport citrulline. Based on the relative activity factor method, the contribution of rat Oat1 to the overall uptake of citrulline in rat kidney slices was ∼70%. Moreover, the interaction among citrulline, PAH, and probenecid uptakes via rat Oat1 suggested that there are multiple functional sites on Oat1 and that the citrulline site may be distinct from the PAH and probenecid site. Thus OAT1/Oat1 appears to be one of the major contributors to renal basolateral uptake of citrulline, and impaired activities of these transporters may contribute substantially to the increase in plasma citrulline in renal failure. Accordingly, citrulline may be useful for diagnosis of kidney function as is creatinine.

Abstract
AIMS To explore the extent, time course, site(s), mechanism and possible clinical relevance of the pharmacokinetic (PK) interaction between piperacillin and flucloxacillin. METHODS A single-dose, randomized, six-way crossover study in 10 healthy volunteers where all subjects received all of the following as 5-min intravenous infusions: (i) 1.5 g piperacillin, (ii) 0.5 g flucloxacillin, (iii) 1.5 g piperacillin + 0.5 g flucloxacillin, (iv) 3 g piperacillin, (v) 1 g flucloxacillin, and (vi) 3 g piperacillin + 1 g flucloxacillin. Drug concentrations in plasma and urine were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. WinNonlin was used for PK modelling and statistics. RESULTS Piperacillin significantly decreased the renal clearance of flucloxacillin from 5.44 to 2.29 l h(-1) (medians, P < 0.01) and the nonrenal clearance of flucloxacillin from 2.67 to 1.80 l h(-1) (P < 0.01). The renal clearance of flucloxacillin was reduced to 45% (point estimate, 90% confidence interval 40 to 50%) and the nonrenal clearance to 66% (59, 73). The extent of interaction was larger at the higher doses. Competitive inhibition of tubular secretion by piperacillin was identified as the most likely mechanism for the decreased renal clearance of flucloxacillin. Piperacillin had a 15-times higher affinity for the renal transporter than flucloxacillin based on the molar ratio. Piperacillin PK was only slightly affected by flucloxacillin. CONCLUSIONS Piperacillin inhibits renal and nonrenal elimination of flucloxacillin. This interaction seems clinically significant, as total clearance was reduced by a factor of 1.5 for the lower and 2.1 for the higher doses. PK interactions, especially with piperacillin, are likely to occur also with other beta-lactam combinations and might be useful to improve the effectiveness of antibacterial treatment.

Abstract
Renal solute clearances are reduced in ischemic acute kidney injury. However, the mechanisms explaining how solute clearance is impaired have not been clarified. Recently, we reported that cadaveric renal allografts exhibit maldistribution of organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) in proximal tubule cells after ischemia and reperfusion, resulting in impairment of PAH clearance. In the present study, we characterized renal OAT1 in detail after ischemia-reperfusion using a rat model. We analyzed renal OAT1 using confocal microscopy with a three-dimensional reconstruction of serial optical images, Western blot, and quantitative real-time RT-PCR. OAT1 was distributed to basolateral membranes of proximal tubule cells in controls. With ischemia, OAT1 decreased in basolateral membrane, especially in the lateral membrane domain, and appeared diffusely in cytoplasm. After reperfusion following 60-min ischemia, OAT1 often formed cytoplasmic aggregates. The staining for OAT1 started reappearing in lateral membrane domain 1 h after reperfusion. The basolateral membrane staining was relatively well discernable at 240 h of reperfusion. Of note, a distinct increase in OAT1 expression was noted in vasculature early after ischemia and after reperfusion. The total amount of OAT1 protein expression in the kidney diminished after ischemia-reperfusion in a duration-dependent manner until 72 h, when they began to recover. However, even at 240 h, the amount of OAT1 did not reach control levels. The kidney tissues tended to show a remarkable but transient increase in mRNA expression for OAT1 at 5 min of ischemia. Our findings may provide insights of renal OAT1 in its cellular localization and response during ischemic acute kidney injury and recovery from it.

Abstract
PURPOSE To characterize the uptake mechanism of zidovudine (AZT), a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, in syncytiotrophoblast cells using the TR-TBT 18d-1 cell line previously established by our group. MATERIALS AND METHODS The effects of several transporter inhibitors on the initial and steady-state apical uptake of AZT by TR-TBT 18d-1 were characterized, in order to identify the transporter(s) involved. RESULTS Initial uptake of AZT was sodium-independent and saturable; the K(m) value was about 16 microM. Nitrobenzylthioinosine (NBMPR), probenecid and cimetidine each had little effect on the saturable AZT uptake, indicating that well characterized transporters, such as organic anion transporters (OATs and OATPs), organic cation transporters (OCTs) and equilibrative nucleoside transporters (ENTs), are not involved. However, thymidine and 2'-deoxyuridine strongly inhibited AZT uptake. These results suggest that an unidentified nucleoside uptake transporter is responsible for the uptake of AZT. Cyclosporin A, Ko143 and probenecid had little effect on AZT accumulation by TR-TBT 18d-1 cells, suggesting that transporter-mediated efflux of AZT is not substantial. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that saturable AZT uptake into TR-TBT 18d-1 is mediated by a so-far-unidentified transporter.

Abstract
This study examined the contribution made by organic cation transporters (hOCT/rOct) to the saturable component of the renal uptake of 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium, tetraethylammonium (TEA), cimetidine and metformin into rOct2-expressing HEK293 cells and rat kidney slices. All the test compounds accumulated in the rat kidney slices in a carrier-mediated manner. The Michaelis–Menten constant ( Km) values for saturable uptake of TEA, cimetidine and metformin into rat kidney slices were relatively comparable with those for the rOct2-expressing HEK293 cells. In addition, the relative uptake activity values of TEA, cimetidine and metformin in rat kidney slices were similar to those in rOct2-expressing HEK293 cells. This suggests that the saturable components involved in the renal uptake of TEA, cimetidine and metformin are mediated mainly by rOct2. The saturable uptake profile of cationic compounds into rat kidney can be evaluated in both cDNA-expressing cells and rat kidney slices, as well as the transporter expression pattern. This approach can also be used to estimate the saturable uptake mechanism of cationic compounds into the human kidney when human kidney slices and hOCT2-expressing cells are used.

Abstract
The contribution of organic cation transporters to the saturable component in the hepatic uptake of 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP), tetraethylammonium (TEA), cimetidine, and metformin was examined by the use of human/rat organic cation transporter (hOCT1/rOct1)-expressing cells and human/rat hepatocytes. Transfection of rOct1 resulted in a considerable increase in the uptake of metformin, whereas that of hOCT1 resulted in only a slight increase. All test compounds (MPP, TEA, cimetidine, and metformin) accumulated in human and rat hepatocytes in a carrier-mediated manner. The Km values for the uptake of MPP, TEA, cimetidine, and metformin into human and rat hepatocytes were comparable with those into hOCT1 and rOct1-expressing cells, respectively. In addition, the relative uptake activities, which were obtained by normalizing the intrinsic uptake clearances of TEA, cimetidine, and metformin against those values of MPP in human and rat hepatocytes, were similar with the uptake activities in hOCT1 and rOct1, respectively. These results suggest that the saturable component in the hepatic uptake of these cationic compounds may be mediated mainly by hOCT1/rOct1; therefore, it is meaningful to evaluate the saturable uptake profile of cationic compounds by the liver using both hOCT1/rOct1-expressing cells and human/rat hepatocytes.

Abstract
Olmesartan, a novel angiotensin II AT1-receptor antagonist, is excreted into both bile and urine, with minimal metabolism. Because olmesartan is a hydrophilic anionic compound, some transporters could be involved in its hepatic and renal clearance. In this study, we characterized the role of human drug transporters in the pharmacokinetics of olmesartan and determined the contribution of each transporter to the overall clearance of olmesartan. Olmesartan was significantly taken up into human embryonic kidney 293 cells expressing organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1, OATP1B3, organic anion transporter (OAT) 1, and OAT3. We also observed its saturable uptake into human hepatocytes and kidney slices. Estimated from the relative activity factor method and application of specific inhibitors, the relative contributions of OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 to the uptake of olmesartan in human hepatocytes were almost the same, whereas OAT3 was predominantly involved in its uptake in kidney slices. The vectorial transport of olmesartan was observed in OATP1B1/multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) 2 double transfectants, but not in OATP1B1/multidrug resistance (MDR) 1 and OATP1B1/breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) transfectants. ATP-dependent transport into membrane vesicles expressing human MRP2 and MRP4 was clearly observed, with K(m) values of 14.9 and 26.2 microM, respectively, whereas the urinary excretion of olmesartan in Mrp4-knockout mice was not different from that of control mice. We also investigated the transcellular transport of olmesartan medoxomil, a prodrug of olmesartan. Vectorial basal-to-apical transport was observed in OATP1B1/MRP2, OATP1B1/MDR1 double, and OATP1B1/BCRP double transfectants, suggesting the possible involvement of MRP2, MDR1, and BCRP in the limit of intestinal absorption of olmesartan medoxomil. From these results, we suggest that multiple transporters make a significant contribution to the pharmacokinetics of olmesartan and its prodrug.

Abstract
3-Methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one (MCI-186; edaravone), a novel free radical scavenger, is used for the treatment of acute cerebral infarction. After marketing, a few cases of acute renal failure were reported in patients following treatment with this drug. Because edaravone is mainly excreted into the urine following conjugation to glucuronide or sulfate, the renal excretion mechanisms of edaravone should help provide important information when considering the clinical cases. We examined the transport of edaravone and its sulfate and glucuronide conjugates via human organic anion transporter 1 (hOAT1) and 3 (hOAT3), expressed on the basolateral membranes of proximal tubules. The hOAT1- and hOAT3-transfected human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 cells exhibited a markedly higher uptake of edaravone sulfate and a slightly higher uptake of edaravone than vector-transfected cells. The K(m) values of edaravone sulfate uptake by hOAT1 and hOAT3 were 11 and 15 microM, respectively. Estimation of the relative contribution of hOAT1 and hOAT3 using reference compounds suggested that hOAT1 and hOAT3 might contribute to the renal uptake of edaravone sulfate to the same extent. However, edaravone and its sulfate showed no cytotoxicity toward both hOAT1-HEK and control cells, suggesting that higher uptake in hOAT1-HEK did not associate with cytotoxicity of these compounds. In conclusion, our results suggest that both hOAT1 and hOAT3 are responsible for the basolateral uptake of edaravone sulfate in the kidney.
