Abstract
The identification of substrates for solute carriers (SLCs) handling drugs is an important challenge, owing to the major implication of these plasma membrane transporters in pharmacokinetics and drug-drug interactions. In this context, the competitive counterflow (CCF) assay has been proposed as a practical and less expensive approach than the reference functional uptake assays for discriminating SLC substrates and non-substrates. The present article was designed to summarize and discuss key-findings about the CCF assay, including its principle, applications, challenges and limits, and perspectives. The CCF assay is based on the decrease of the steady-state accumulation of a tracer substrate in SLC-positive cells, caused by candidate substrates. Reviewed data highlight the fact that the CCF assay has been used to identify substrates and non-substrates for organic cation transporters (OCTs), organic anion transporters (OATs), and organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs). The performance values of the CCF assay, calculated from available CCF study data compared with reference functional uptake assay data, are, however, rather mitigated, indicating that the predictability of the CCF method for assessing SLC-mediated transportability of drugs is currently not optimal. Further studies, notably aimed at standardizing the CCF assay and developing CCF-based high-throughput approaches, are therefore required in order to fully precise the interest and relevance of the CCF assay for identifying substrates and non-substrates of SLCs.

Abstract
Psychiatric and substance use disorders inflict major public health burdens worldwide. Their widespread burden is compounded by a dearth of effective treatments, underscoring a dire need to uncover novel therapeutic targets. In this review, we summarize the literature implicating organic cation transporters (OCTs), including three subtypes of OCTs (OCT1, OCT2, and OCT3) and the plasma membrane monoamine transporter (PMAT), in the neurobiology of psychiatric and substance use disorders with an emphasis on mood and anxiety disorders, alcohol use disorder, and psychostimulant use disorder. OCTs transport monoamines with a low affinity but high capacity, situating them to play a central role in regulating monoamine homeostasis. Preclinical evidence discussed here suggests that OCTs may serve as promising targets for treatment of psychiatric and substance use disorders and encourage future research into their therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Rivaroxaban is a direct inhibitor of factor Xa, a member of direct oral anticoagulant group of drugs (DOACs). Despite being a widely extended alternative to vitamin K antagonists (i.e., acenocoumarol, warfarin) the interindividual variability of DOACs is significant, and may be related to adverse drug reaction occurrence or drug inefficacy, namely hemorrhagic or thromboembolic events. Since there is not a consistent analytic practice to monitor the anticoagulant activity of DOACs, previously reported polymorphisms in genes coding for proteins responsible for the activation, transport, or metabolism of DOACs were studied. The study population comprised 60 healthy volunteers, who completed two randomized, crossover bioequivalence clinical trials between two different rivaroxaban formulations. The effect of food, sex, biogeographical origin and 55 variants (8 phenotypes and 47 single nucleotide polymorphisms) in drug metabolizing enzyme genes (such as CYP2D6, CYP2C9, NAT2) and transporters (namely, ABCB1, ABCG2) on rivaroxaban pharmacokinetics was tested. Individuals dosed under fasting conditions presented lower tmax (2.21 h vs 2.88 h, β = 1.19, R2 =0.342, p = 0.012) compared to fed volunteers. NAT2 slow acetylators presented higher AUC∞ corrected by dose/weight (AUC∞/DW; 8243.90 vs 7698.20 and 7161.25 h*ng*mg /ml*kg, β = 0.154, R2 =0.250, p = 0.044), higher Cmax/DW (1070.99 vs 834.81 and 803.36 ng*mg /ml*kg, β = 0.245, R2 =0.320, p = 0.002), and lower tmax (2.63 vs 3.19 and 4.15 h, β = -0.346, R2 =0.282, p = 0.047) than NAT2 rapid and intermediate acetylators. No other association was statistically significant. Thus, slow NAT2 appear to have altered rivaroxaban pharmacokinetics, increasing AUC∞ and Cmax. Nonetheless, further research should be conducted to verify NAT2 involvement on rivaroxaban pharmacokinetics and to determine its clinical significance.

Abstract
Purpose of Review Minority health disparities have received renewed attention in the USA following several highly publicized racial injustices in 2020. Though the focus has been largely on adults, children are not immune to these inequities. By reviewing racial disparities in pediatric perioperative care, we aim to engage the anesthesia community in the fight against systemic racism. Recent Findings Minority children have higher rates of anesthetic and surgical morbidity compared to White children, including respiratory events, length of stay, hospital costs, and even death. These inequities occur across surgical specialties and environments. Summary Racial disparities in the perioperative health and management of children are ubiquitous. Herein, we will summarize recent pediatric health disparity literature, discuss some important contributors to persistent inequities, and propose avenues for anesthesiologists to impact the pursuit of equitable healthcare outcomes.

Abstract
A reliable translation of in vitro and preclinical data on drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) to humans is important for safe and effective drug development. Precision medicine that is expected to provide the right clinical dose for the right patient at the right time requires a comprehensive understanding of population factors affecting drug disposition and response. Characterization of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters for the protein abundance and their interindividual as well as differential tissue and cross-species variabilities is important for translational ADME and precision medicine. This review first provides a brief overview of quantitative proteomics principles including liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry tools, data acquisition approaches, proteomics sample preparation techniques, and quality controls for ensuring rigor and reproducibility in protein quantification data. Then, potential applications of quantitative proteomics in the translation of in vitro and preclinical data as well as prediction of interindividual variability are discussed in detail with tabulated examples. The applications of quantitative proteomics data in physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling for ADME prediction are discussed with representative case examples. Finally, various considerations for reliable quantitative proteomics analysis for translational ADME and precision medicine and the future directions are discussed. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Quantitative proteomics analysis of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters in humans and preclinical species provides key physiological information that assists in the translation of in vitro and preclinical data to humans. This review provides the principles and applications of quantitative proteomics in characterizing in vitro, ex vivo, and preclinical models for translational research and interindividual variability prediction. Integration of these data into physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling is proving to be critical for safe, effective, timely, and cost-effective drug development.

Abstract
The abuse of opioids has become one of the most serious concerns in the world. Opioid use can cause serious adverse reactions, including respiratory depression, postoperative nausea and vomiting, itching, and even death. These adverse reactions are also important complications of clinical application of opioid drugs that may affect patient safety and recovery. Due to the fear of adverse reactions of opioids, clinicians often do not dare to use opioids in an adequate or appropriate amount, thus affecting the clinical medication strategy and the quality of treatment for patients. The prediction of adverse reactions to opioids is one of the most concerned problems in clinical practice. At present, the correlation between gene polymorphism and the efficacy of opiates has been widely studied and preliminarily confirmed, but the research on the effect of gene polymorphism on the adverse reactions of opiates is relatively limited. Existing studies have made encouraging progress in predicting the incidence and severity of adverse opioid reactions and clinical management by using genetic testing, but most of these studies are single-center, small-sample clinical studies or animal experiments, which have strong limitations. When the same receptor or enzyme is studied by different experimental methods, different or even opposite conclusions can be drawn. These phenomena indicate that the correlation between gene polymorphism and adverse opioid reaction still needs further research and demonstration. At present, it is still too early to use genetic testing to predict opioid adverse reactions in clinic. In this paper, the correlation between gene polymorphism and adverse opioid reactions and a small number of clinical applications were reviewed in terms of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, in order to provide some suggestions for future research and clinical drug decision making.

Abstract
Historically genetics has not been considered when prescribing drugs for children. However, it is clear that genetics are not only an important determinant of disease in children but also of drug response for many important drugs that are core agents used in the therapy of common problems in children. Advances in therapy and in the ethical construct of children's research have made pharmacogenomic assessment for children much easier to pursue. It is likely that pharmacogenomics will become part of the therapeutic decision-making process for children, notably in areas such as childhood cancer where weighing benefits and risks of therapy is crucial.

Abstract
We investigated the impact of genetic variants in OCT1 (SLC22A1) on morphine, morphine-3-glucuronide (M3G) and morphine-6-glucuronide (M6G) pharmacokinetics in adult patients scheduled for major surgery. Blood samples were taken before and 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90 min after a bolus of morphine (0.15 mg/kg). Patients were genotyped for the genetic variants (rs12208357, rs34059508, rs72552763 and rs34130495) in OCT1. Eighty-six patients completed the trial. The mean difference (95% confidence interval) for dose adjusted morphine, M3G and M6G AUC was 0.9 (-0.7-2.4), -5.9 (-11.8 to -0.03) and -1.1 (-2.5-0.4) h/L*10-6 , respectively, in patients with two reduced function alleles compared to patients with no reduced function alleles in OCT1. Accordingly, the (AUCM3G/Dose )/(AUCmorphine/Dose ) and (AUCM6G/Dose )/(AUCmorphine/Dose ) ratio was reduced, -1.8 (-3.2 to -0.4) and -0.4 (-0.7 to -0.03), respectively, when comparing the same groups. OCT1 variants had no influence on the experience of pain, adverse events or the number of PCA doses used. In conclusion, genetic variants in OCT1 had a small and clinically unimportant impact on the exposure of morphine after intravenous administration. Our results do not support pre-emptive genotyping for OCT1 prior to morphine administration in patients scheduled for major surgery.

Abstract
Inter-ethnic variability in pharmacokinetics (PK) has been attributed to several factors ranging from genetic to environmental. It is not clear how current teaching in higher education (HE) reflects what published literature suggests on this subject. This study aims to gain insights into current knowledge about inter-ethnic differences in PK based on reports from published literature and current teaching practices in HE. A systematic literature search was conducted on PubMed and Scopus to identify suitable literature to be reviewed. Insights into inter-ethnic differences in PK teaching among educators in HE and industry were determined using a questionnaire. Thirty-one percent of the studies reviewed reported inter-ethnic differences in PK, of these, 37% of authors suggested genetic polymorphism as possible explanation for the inter-ethnic differences observed. Other factors authors proposed included diet and weight differences between ethnicities. Most respondents (80%) who taught inter-ethnic difference in PK attributed inter-ethnic differences to genetic polymorphism. While genetic polymorphism is one source of variability in PK, the teaching of genetic polymorphism is better associated with interindividual variabilities rather than inter-ethnic differences in PK as there are no genes with PK implications specific to any one ethnic group. Nongenetic factors such as diet, weight, and environmental factors, should be highlighted as potential sources of interindividual variation in the PK of drugs.

Abstract
Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling has emerged as a useful tool to study pharmacokinetics (PK) in special populations, such as pregnant women, fetuses, and newborns, where practical hurdles severely limit the study of drug behavior. PK in pregnant women is variable and everchanging, differing greatly from that in their nonpregnant female and male counterparts typically enrolled in clinical trials. PBPK models can accommodate pregnancy-induced physiological and metabolic changes, thereby providing mechanistic insights into maternal drug disposition and fetal exposure. Fueled by the soaring opioid epidemic in the United States, opioid use during pregnancy continues to rise, leading to an increased incidence of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS). The severity of NOWS is influenced by a complex interplay of extrinsic and intrinsic factors, and varies substantially between newborns, but the extent of prenatal opioid exposure is likely the primary driver. Fetomaternal PBPK modeling is an attractive approach to predict in utero opioid exposure. To facilitate the development of fetomaternal PBPK models of opioids, this review provides a detailed overview of pregnancy-induced changes affecting the PK of commonly used opioids during gestation. Moreover, the placental transfer of these opioids is described, along with their disposition in the fetus. Lastly, the implementation of these factors into PBPK models is discussed. Fetomaternal PBPK modeling of opioids is expected to provide improved insights in fetal opioid exposure, which allows for prediction of postnatal NOWS severity, thereby opening the way for precision postnatal treatment of these vulnerable infants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Safe postoperative pain relief with opioids is an unmet critical medical need in children. There is a lack of objective, noninvasive bedside tool to assess central nervous system (CNS) effects of intraoperative opioids. Proactive identification of children at risk for postoperative respiratory depression (RD) will help tailor analgesic therapy and significantly improve the safety of opioids in children. Quantitative pupillometry (QP) is a noninvasive, objective, and real-time tool for monitoring CNS effect-time relationship of opioids. This exploratory study aimed to determine the association of QP measures with postoperative RD, as well as to identify the best intraoperative QP measures predictive of postoperative RD in children. METHODS After approval from the institutional review board and informed parental consent, in this prospective, observational study of 220 children undergoing tonsillectomy, QP measures were collected at 5 time points: awake preoperative baseline before anesthesia induction (at the time of enrollment [T1]), immediately after anesthesia induction before morphine administration (T2), 3 minutes after intraoperative morphine administration (T3), at the end of surgery (T4), and postoperatively when awake in postanesthesia recovery unit (PACU) (T5). Intraoperative use of opioid and incidence of postoperative RD were collected. Analyses were aimed at exploring correlations of QP measures with the incidence of RD and, if found significant, to develop a predictive model for postoperative RD. RESULTS Perioperative QP measures of percentage pupil constriction (CONQ, P = .027), minimum pupillary diameter (MIN, P = .027), and maximum pupillary diameter (MAX, P = .034) differed significantly among children with and without postoperative RD. A predictive model including the minimum pupillary diameter 3 minutes after morphine administration (MIN3), minimum pupillary diameter normalized to baseline (MIN31), and percentage pupillary constriction after surgery (T4) standardized to baseline (T1) (CONQ41), along with the weight-based morphine dose performed the best to predict postoperative RD in children (area under the curve [AUC], 0.76). CONCLUSIONS A model based on pre- and intraoperative pupillometry measures including CONQ, MIN, along with weight-based morphine dose-predicted postoperative RD in our cohort of children undergoing tonsillectomy. More studies with a larger sample size are required to validate this finding.

Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:674559.

Abstract
Genome-wide association studies have identified an association between isobutyrylcarnitine (IBC) and organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1) genotypes. Higher IBC blood concentrations in humans with active OCT1 genotypes and experimental studies with mouse OCT1 suggested an OCT1-mediated efflux of IBC. In this study, we wanted to confirm the suggested use of IBC as an endogenous biomarker of OCT1 activity and contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms behind the association between blood concentrations of carnitine derivatives and OCT1 genotype. Blood and urine IBC concentrations were quantified in healthy volunteers regarding intra- and interindividual variation and correlation with OCT1 genotype and with pharmacokinetics of known OCT1 substrates. Furthermore, IBC formation and transport were studied in cell lines overexpressing OCT1 and its naturally occurring variants. Carriers of high-activity OCT1 genotypes had about 3-fold higher IBC blood concentrations and 2-fold higher amounts of IBC excreted in urine compared to deficient OCT1. This was likely due to OCT1 function, as indicated by the fact that IBC correlated with the pharmacokinetics of known OCT1 substrates, like fenoterol, and blood IBC concentrations declined with a 1 h time delay following peak concentrations of the OCT1 substrate sumatriptan. Thus, IBC is a suitable endogenous biomarker reflecting both, human OCT1 (hOCT1) genotype and activity. While murine OCT1 (mOCT1) was an efflux transporter of IBC, hOCT1 exhibited no IBC efflux activity. Inhibition experiments confirmed this data showing that IBC and other acylcarnitines, like butyrylcarnitine, 2-methylbutyrylcarnitine, and hexanoylcarnitine, showed reduced efflux upon inhibition of mOCT1 but not of hOCT1. IBC and other carnitine derivatives are endogenous biomarkers of hOCT1 genotype and phenotype. However, in contrast to mice, the mechanisms underlying the IBC-OCT1 correlation in humans is apparently not directly the OCT1-mediated efflux of IBC. A plausible explanation could be that hOCT1 mediates cellular concentrations of specific regulators or co-substrates in lipid and energy metabolism, which is supported by our in vitro finding that at baseline intracellular IBC concentration is about 6-fold lower alone by OCT1 overexpression.

Abstract
Organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1, SLC22A1) is localized in the sinusoidal membrane of human hepatocytes and mediates hepatic uptake of weakly basic or cationic drugs and endogenous compounds. Common amino acid substitutions in OCT1 were associated with altered pharmacokinetics and efficacy of drugs like sumatriptan and fenoterol. Recently, the common splice variant rs35854239 has also been suggested to affect OCT1 function. rs35854239 represents an 8 bp duplication of the donor splice site at the exon 7-intron 7 junction. Here we quantified the extent to which this duplication affects OCT1 splicing and, as a consequence, the expression and the function of OCT1. We used pyrosequencing and deep RNA-sequencing to quantify the effect of rs35854239 on splicing after minigene expression of this variant in HepG2 and Huh7 cells and directly in human liver samples. Further, we analyzed the effects of rs35854239 on OCT1 mRNA expression in total, localization and activity of the resulting OCT1 protein, and on the pharmacokinetics of sumatriptan and fenoterol. The 8 bp duplication caused alternative splicing in 38% (deep RNA-sequencing) to 52% (pyrosequencing) of the minigene transcripts when analyzed in HepG2 and Huh7 cells. The alternatively spliced transcript encodes for a truncated protein that after transient transfection in HEK293 cells was not localized in the plasma membrane and was not able to transport the OCT1 model substrate ASP+. In human liver, however, the alternatively spliced OCT1 transcript was detectable only at very low levels (0.3% in heterozygous and 0.6% in homozygous carriers of the 8 bp duplication, deep RNA-sequencing). The 8 bp duplication was associated with a significant reduction of OCT1 expression in the human liver, but explained only 9% of the general variability in OCT1 expression and was not associated with significant changes in the pharmacokinetics of sumatriptan and fenoterol. Therefore, the rs35854239 variant only partially changes splicing, causing moderate changes in OCT1 expression and may be of only limited therapeutic relevance.

Abstract
Intestinal transporter proteins are known to affect the pharmacokinetics and in turn the efficacy and safety of many orally administered drugs in a clinically relevant manner. This knowledge is especially well-established for intestinal ATP-binding cassette transporters such as P-gp and BCRP. In contrast to this, information about intestinal uptake carriers is much more limited although many hydrophilic or ionic drugs are not expected to undergo passive diffusion but probably require specific uptake transporters. A transporter which is controversially discussed with respect to its expression, localization and function in the human intestine is the organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1). This review article provides an up-to-date summary on the available data from expression analysis as well as functional studies in vitro, animal findings and clinical observations. The current evidence suggests that OCT1 is expressed in the human intestine in small amounts (on gene and protein levels), while its cellular localization in the apical or basolateral membrane of the enterocytes remains to be finally defined, but functional data point to a secretory function of the transporter at the basolateral membrane. Thus, OCT1 should not be considered as a classical uptake transporter in the intestine but rather as an intestinal elimination pathway for cationic compounds from the systemic circulation.

Abstract
Developmental changes that occur throughout childhood have long been known to impact drug disposition. However, pharmacokinetic studies in the paediatric population have historically been limited due to ethical concerns arising from incorporating children into clinical trials. As such, much of the early work in the field of developmental pharmacology was reliant on difficult-to-interpret in vitro and in vivo animal studies. Over the last 2 decades, our understanding of the mechanistic processes underlying age-related changes in drug disposition has advanced considerably. Progress has largely been driven by technological advances in mass spectrometry-based methods for quantifying proteins implicated in drug disposition, and in silico tools that leverage these data to predict age-related changes in pharmacokinetics. This review summarizes our current understanding of the impact of childhood development on drug disposition, particularly focusing on research of the past 20 years, but also highlighting select examples of earlier foundational research. Equally important to the studies reviewed herein are the areas that we cannot currently describe due to the lack of research evidence; these gaps provide a map of drug disposition pathways for which developmental trends still need to be characterized.

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

Abstract
Introduction: Pediatric patients, especially neonates and infants, are more susceptible to adverse drug events as compared to adults. In particular, immature small molecule drug metabolism and excretion can result in higher incidences of pediatric toxicity than adults if the pediatric dose is not adjusted.Area covered: We reviewed the top 29 small molecule drugs prescribed in neonatal and pediatric intensive care units and compiled the mechanisms of their metabolism and excretion. The ontogeny of Phase I and II drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters (DMETs), particularly relevant to these drugs, are summarized. The potential effects of DMET ontogeny on the metabolism and excretion of the top pediatric drugs were predicted. The current regulatory requirements and recommendations regarding safe and effective use of drugs in children are discussed. A few representative examples of the use of ontogeny-informed physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models are highlighted.Expert opinion: Empirical prediction of pediatric drug dosing based on body weight or body-surface area from the adult parameters can be inaccurate because DMETs are not mature in children and the age-dependent maturation of these proteins is different. Ontogeny-informed-PBPK modeling provides a better alternative to predict the pharmacokinetics of drugs in children.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) often arises in infants born to mothers who used opioids during pregnancy. Morphine, methadone, and buprenorphine are the most common first-line treatments, whereas clonidine and phenobarbital are generally reserved for adjunctive therapy. These drugs exhibit substantial pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) variability. Current pharmacological treatments for NOWS are based on institutional protocols and largely rely on empirical treatment of patient symptoms. AREAS COVERED This article reviews the PK/PD of NOWS pharmacotherapies with a focus on the implication of physiological development and maturation. Body size-standardized clearance is consistently low in neonates, except for methadone. This can be ascribed to underdeveloped metabolic and elimination pathways. The effects of pharmacogenetics have been clarified especially for morphine. The PK/PD relationship of medications used in the treatment of NOWS is generally understudied. EXPERT OPINION Providing an appropriate opioid dose in neonates is challenging. Advancements in quantitative pharmacology and PK/PD modeling approaches facilitate identification of key factors driving PK/PD variability and characterization of exposure-response relationships. PK/PD model-informed simulations have been widely employed to define age-appropriate pediatric dosing regimens. The model-informed approach holds promise to aid more rational use of medications in the treatment of NOWS.

Abstract
Pharmacogenetics, the genetic influence on the interpersonal variability in drug response, has enabled tailored pharmacotherapy and emerging 'personalized medicine.' Although oncology spearheaded the clinical implementation of personalized medicine, other specialties are rapidly catching up. In anesthesia, classical examples of genetically mediated idiosyncratic reactions have been long known (e.g., malignant hyperthermia and prolonged apnea after succinylcholine). The last two decades have witnessed an expanding body of pharmacogenetic evidence in anesthesia. This review highlights some of the prominent pharmacogenetic associations studied in anesthesia and pain management, with special focus on pediatric anesthesia.

Abstract
The organic cation transporters (OCTs) OCT1, OCT2, OCT3, novel OCT (OCTN)1, OCTN2, multidrug and toxin exclusion (MATE)1, and MATE kidney-specific 2 are polyspecific transporters exhibiting broadly overlapping substrate selectivities. They transport organic cations, zwitterions, and some uncharged compounds and operate as facilitated diffusion systems and/or antiporters. OCTs are critically involved in intestinal absorption, hepatic uptake, and renal excretion of hydrophilic drugs. They modulate the distribution of endogenous compounds such as thiamine, L-carnitine, and neurotransmitters. Sites of expression and functions of OCTs have important impact on energy metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and toxicity of drugs, and on drug-drug interactions. In this work, an overview about the human OCTs is presented. Functional properties of human OCTs, including identified substrates and inhibitors of the individual transporters, are described. Sites of expression are compiled, and data on regulation of OCTs are presented. In addition, genetic variations of OCTs are listed, and data on their impact on transport, drug treatment, and diseases are reported. Moreover, recent data are summarized that indicate complex drug-drug interaction at OCTs, such as allosteric high-affinity inhibition of transport and substrate dependence of inhibitor efficacies. A hypothesis about the molecular mechanism of polyspecific substrate recognition by OCTs is presented that is based on functional studies and mutagenesis experiments in OCT1 and OCT2. This hypothesis provides a framework to imagine how observed complex drug-drug interactions at OCTs arise. Finally, preclinical in vitro tests that are performed by pharmaceutical companies to identify interaction of novel drugs with OCTs are discussed. Optimized experimental procedures are proposed that allow a gapless detection of inhibitory and transported drugs.

Abstract
We have previously reported the influences of OCT1 ontogeny and genetic variation on morphine clearance in neonatal and pediatric patients. In the latter study, plasma morphine-glucuronide levels correlated with patient genotype for the rs4793665 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at the locus of MRP3, an efflux transporter of morphine glucuronides between hepatocytes and circulating blood. The link between MRP3 activity and overall morphine clearance has not been thoroughly investigated however, and the developmental profile of hepatic MRP3 protein expression remains thinly defined between neonates and adults. In the current study, previously determined morphine clearance values for neonatal (24-58 weeks postmenstrual age, N = 57) and pediatric (5-16 years, n = 85) patients were reanalyzed for correlation to the SNP genotype of patient rs4793665. Among OCT1 wild-type patients, pediatric morphine clearance showed a significant decreasing trend by MRP3 genotypes in the order of CC > CT > TT (P = .014), whereas for neonates, an identical but nonsignificant trend was observed. Pharmacogenetic differences in MRP3 and OCT1 ontogeny were evaluated by Western blot of hepatic membrane fractions from 50 subjects aged 1 day postnatal to 33 years old. Hepatic MRP3 protein level did not vary by rs4793665 genotype, and followed an atypical developmental pattern of increase up to 1-2 years of age, thereafter decreasing during preadolescence before increasing again to adult levels at maturity (17-33 years). By comparison, OCT1 expression was significantly decreased in OCT1 *1/*3 genotyped patients older than 1 year and followed a trajectory consistent with prior studies. Our results suggest that consideration of MRP3 pharmacogenetics and ontogeny may aid in identifying pediatric patients having different/atypical morphine requirements.

Abstract
Thiamine is substrate of the hepatic uptake transporter organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1), and pathological lipid metabolism was associated with OCT1-dependent thiamine transport. However, it is unknown whether clinical pharmacokinetics of thiamine is modulated by OCT1 genotype. We analyzed thiamine transport in vitro, thiamine blood concentrations after high-dose and low-dose (nutritional) intake, and heritability of thiamine and thiamine-phosphate blood concentrations. The variant OCT1*2 had reduced and OCT1*3 to OCT1*6 had deficient thiamine uptake activity. However, pharmacokinetics of thiamine did not differ depending on OCT1 genotype. Further studies in primary human hepatocytes indicated that several cation transporters, including OCT1, OCT3, and THTR-2, contribute to hepatic uptake of thiamine. As much as 54% of the variation in thiamine and 75% in variation of thiamine monophosphate plasma concentrations was determined by heritable factors. Apparently, thiamine is not useful as a probe drug for OCT1 activity, but the high heritability, particularly of thiamine monophosphate, may stimulate further genomic research.

Abstract
Genetic variants in the hepatic uptake transporter OCT1, observed in 9% of Europeans and white Americans, are known to affect pharmacokinetics and efficacy of tramadol, morphine, and codeine. Here, we report further opioids to be substrates and inhibitors of OCT1. Methylnaltrexone, hydromorphone, oxymorphone, and meptazinol were identified as OCT1 substrates. Methylnaltrexone is the strongest OCT1 substrate currently reported. It showed 86-fold higher accumulation in OCT1-overexpressing cells compared to control cells. We observed substantial differences in the inhibitory potency among structurally highly similar morphinan opioids (IC50 ranged from 6.4 μM for dextrorphan to 2 mM for oxycodone). The ether linkage of C4-C5 in the morphinan ring leads to a strong reduction of inhibitory potency. In conclusion, although polyspecific, OCT1 possesses a strong selectivity for its ligands. In contrast to methylnaltrexone and hydromorphone, oxycodone and hydrocodone do not interact with OCT1 and may be safer for use in individuals with genetic OCT1 deficiency.

Abstract
The human solute carrier (SLC) superfamily of transporters is comprised of over 400 membrane-bound proteins, and plays essential roles in a multitude of physiological and pharmacological processes. In addition, perturbation of SLC transporter function underlies numerous human diseases, which renders SLC transporters attractive drug targets. Common genetic polymorphisms in SLC genes have been associated with inter-individual differences in drug efficacy and toxicity. However, despite their tremendous clinical relevance, epidemiological data of these variants are mostly derived from heterogeneous cohorts of small sample size and the genetic SLC landscape beyond these common variants has not been comprehensively assessed. In this study, we analyzed Next-Generation Sequencing data from 141,456 individuals from seven major human populations to evaluate genetic variability, its functional consequences, and ethnogeographic patterns across the entire SLC superfamily of transporters. Importantly, of the 204,287 exonic single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) which we identified, 99.8% were present in less than 1% of analyzed alleles. Comprehensive computational analyses using 13 partially orthogonal algorithms that predict the functional impact of genetic variations based on sequence information, evolutionary conservation, structural considerations, and functional genomics data revealed that each individual genome harbors 29.7 variants with putative functional effects, of which rare variants account for 18%. Inter-ethnic variability was found to be extensive, and 83% of deleterious SLC variants were only identified in a single population. Interestingly, population-specific carrier frequencies of loss-of-function variants in SLC genes associated with recessive Mendelian disease recapitulated the ethnogeographic variation of the corresponding disorders, including cystinuria in Jewish individuals, type II citrullinemia in East Asians, and lysinuric protein intolerance in Finns, thus providing a powerful resource for clinical geneticists to inform about population-specific prevalence and allelic composition of Mendelian SLC diseases. In summary, we present the most comprehensive data set of SLC variability published to date, which can provide insights into inter-individual differences in SLC transporter function and guide the optimization of population-specific genotyping strategies in the bourgeoning fields of personalized medicine and precision public health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if racial differences are associated with Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS) severity. STUDY DESIGN A 10-year (2008-2017) retrospective cohort of infants ≥35 weeks gestation with prenatal exposure to opioids was included. The primary measure was the need for pharmacotherapy. Multivariable logistic regression and propensity score analysis were performed. RESULTS Among 345 infants with NOWS, 111 (32%) were black infants with 70% of them requiring pharmacotherapy as compared with 84% of white infants. Upon adjusting for significant covariates (methadone, benzodiazepine use, and gestational age), black infants were 57% less likely than whites to require pharmacotherapy (Odds ratio: 0.43, 95%CI: 0.22-0.80, p = 0.009). Similar results were observed with propensity score analysis. CONCLUSIONS Significant racial disparity observed may be secondary to genetic variations in opioid pharmacogenomics and/or extrinsic factors. Large-scale studies are warranted to include race in predictive models for early pharmacological intervention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Chronic postsurgical pain is pain that develops and persists for at least 3 months after a surgical procedure. The purpose of this review was to discover what evidence exists regarding the influence of race and ethnicity on postoperative pain intensity and what evidence exists regarding the influence of genetic polymorphisms on postoperative pain intensity. DESIGN Integrative literature review. DATA SOURCES CINAHL, PsychInfo, SCOPUS, and PubMed/Medline databases were searched for entries within the last 10 years. Sources included primary research investigating the relationship among race, ethnicity, and genetics in postoperative pain outcomes. REVIEW/ANALYSIS METHODS Studies adhered to a strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were utilized to evaluate and assess manuscripts for inclusion. RESULTS Twelve manuscripts were included for final review. There are significantly higher preoperative and postoperative pain intensity scores reported between African American and Hispanic individuals compared with non-Hispanic whites. Although some studies identified that non-Hispanic whites consumed more opioids and reported increased pain, there were no significant differences in opioid requirements in Hispanic and non-Hispanic individuals. COMT and OPRM1 were the most identified genetic polymorphisms associated with postoperative pain intensity. CONCLUSIONS The literature varies with respect to race, ethnicity, and postoperative pain perception. Perioperative pain intensity has been suggested as a significant predictor of chronic postsurgical pain. COMT and OPRM1 may be associated with higher pain perception after surgical procedures.

Abstract
Morphine is commonly used for analgesia in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) despite having highly variable pharmacokinetics (PKs) between individual patients. The pharmacogenetic (PG) effect of variants at the loci of organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B7 (UGT2B7) on age-dependent morphine clearance were evaluated in a cohort of critically ill neonatal patients using an opportunistic sampling design. Our primary results demonstrate the significant influence of OCT1 genotype (P < 0.05) and gestational age (P ≤ 0.005) on morphine PKs. A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for morphine that accounted for OCT1 ontogeny and PG effect in post-term neonates adequately described the clinically observed variability in morphine PKs. This study serves as a proof of concept for genotype-dependent drug transporter ontogeny in neonates.

Abstract
PURPOSE The organic cation transporters (OCTs) and multidrug and toxin extrusions (MATEs) together are regarded as an organic cation transport system critical to the disposition and response of many organic cationic drugs. Patient response to the analgesic morphine, a characterized substrate for human OCT1, is highly variable. This study was aimed to examine whether there is any organic cation transporter-mediated drug and drug interaction (DDI) between morphine and commonly co-administrated drugs. METHODS The uptake of morphine and its inhibition by six drugs which are commonly co-administered with morphine in the clinic were assessed in human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells stably expressing OCT1, OCT2 and MATE1. The in vivo interaction between morphine and the select irinotecan was determined by comparing the disposition of morphine in the absence versus presence of irinotecan treatment in mice. RESULTS The uptake of morphine in the stable HEK293 cells expressing human OCT1 and OCT2 was significantly increased by 3.56 and 3.04 fold, respectively, than that in the control cells, with no significant uptake increase in the cells expressing human MATE1. All of the six drugs examined, including amitriptyline, fluoxetine, imipramine, irinotecan, ondansetron, and verapamil, were inhibitors of OCT1/2-mediated morphine uptake. The select irinotecan significantly increased the plasma concentrations and decreased hepatic and renal accumulation of morphine in mice. CONCLUSIONS Morphine is a substrate of OCT1 and OCT2. Clinician should be aware that the disposition of and thus the response to morphine may be altered by co-administration of an OCT1/2 inhibitor, such as irinotecan.

Abstract
Cycloguanil, the active metabolite of proguanil, acts on malaria schizonts in erythrocytes and hepatocytes. We analyzed the impact of the organic cation transporter OCT1 on hepatocellular uptake and pharmacokinetics of proguanil and cycloguanil. OCT1 transported both proguanil and cycloguanil. Common variants OCT1*3 and OCT1*4 caused a substantial decrease and OCT1*5 and OCT1*6 complete abolishment of proguanil uptake. In 39 healthy subjects, low-activity variants OCT1*3 and OCT1*4 had only minor effects on proguanil pharmacokinetics. However, both, cycloguanil area under the time-concentration curve and the cycloguanil-to-proguanil ratio were significantly dependent on number of these low-functional alleles (P = 0.02 for both). Together, CYP2C19, CYP3A5, OCT1 polymorphisms, and sex accounted for 61% of the variation in the cycloguanil-to-proguanil ratio. Most importantly, in vitro OCT1 inhibition caused a fivefold decrease of intracellular cycloguanil concentrations in primary human hepatocytes. In conclusion, OCT1-mediated uptake is a limiting step in bioactivation of proguanil, and OCT1 polymorphisms may affect proguanil efficacy against hepatic malaria schizonts.

Abstract
Morphine has large pharmacokinetic variability, which is further complicated by developmental changes in neonates and small infants. The impacts of organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1) genotype and changes in blood-flow on morphine clearance (CL) were previously demonstrated in children, whereas changes in UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B7 (UGT2B7) activity showed a small effect. This study, targeting neonates and small infants, was designed to assess the influence of developmental changes in OCT1 and UGT2B7 protein expression and modified blood-flow on morphine CL using physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling. The implementation of these three age-dependent factors into the pediatric system platform resulted in reasonable prediction for an age-dependent increase in morphine CL in these populations. Sensitivity of morphine CL to changes in cardiac output increased with age up to 3 years, whereas sensitivity to changes in UGT2B7 activity decreased. This study suggests that morphine exhibits age-dependent extraction, likely due to the developmental increase in OCT1 and UGT2B7 protein expression/activity and hepatic blood-flow.

Intravenous morphine versus intravenous paracetamol after cardiac surgery in neonates and infants: a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial. Trials 2018; 19:318. [PMID: 29895289 PMCID: PMC5998570 DOI: 10.1186/s13063-018-2705-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2017] [Accepted: 05/24/2018] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Morphine is worldwide the analgesic of first choice after cardiac surgery in children. Morphine has unwanted hemodynamic and respiratory side effects. Therefore, post-cardiac surgery patients may potentially benefit from a non-opioid drug for pain relief. A previous study has shown that intravenous (IV) paracetamol is effective and opioid-sparing in children after major non-cardiac surgery. The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that intermittent IV paracetamol administration in children after cardiac surgery will result in a reduction of at least 30% of the cumulative morphine requirement. METHODS This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled trial at four level-3 pediatric intensive care units (ICUs) in the Netherlands and Belgium. Children who are 0-36 months old will be randomly assigned to receive either intermittent IV paracetamol or continuous IV morphine up to 48 h post-operatively. Morphine will be available as rescue medication for both groups. Validated pain and sedation assessment tools will be used to monitor patients. The sample size (n = 208, 104 per arm) was calculated in order to detect a 30% reduction in morphine dose; two-sided significance level was 5% and power was 95%. DISCUSSION This study will focus on the reduction, or replacement, of morphine by IV paracetamol in children (0-36 months old) after cardiac surgery. The results of this study will form the basis of a new pain management algorithm and will be implemented at the participating ICUs, resulting in an evidence-based guideline on post-operative pain after cardiac surgery in infants who are 0-36 months old. TRIAL REGISTRATION Dutch Trial Registry ( www.trialregister.nl ): NTR5448 on September 1, 2015. Institutional review board approval (MEC2015-646), current protocol version: July 3, 2017.

Abstract
Poppy seeds are obtained from the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.). They are used as food and to produce edible oil. The opium poppy plant contains narcotic alkaloids such as morphine and codeine. Poppy seeds do not contain the opium alkaloids, but can become contaminated with alkaloids as a result of pest damage and during harvesting. The European Commission asked EFSA to provide an update of the Scientific Opinion on opium alkaloids in poppy seeds. The assessment is based on data on morphine, codeine, thebaine, oripavine, noscapine and papaverine in poppy seed samples. The CONTAM Panel confirms the acute reference dose (ARfD) of 10 μg morphine/kg body weight (bw) and concluded that the concentration of codeine in the poppy seed samples should be taken into account by converting codeine to morphine equivalents, using a factor of 0.2. The ARfD is therefore a group ARfD for morphine and codeine, expressed in morphine equivalents. Mean and high levels of dietary exposure to morphine equivalents from poppy seeds considered to have high levels of opium alkaloids (i.e. poppy seeds from varieties primarily grown for pharmaceutical use) exceed the ARfD in most age groups. For poppy seeds considered to have relatively low concentrations of opium alkaloids (i.e. primarily varieties for food use), some exceedance of the ARfD is also seen at high levels of dietary exposure in most surveys. For noscapine and papaverine, the available data do not allow making a hazard characterisation. However, comparison of the dietary exposure to the recommended therapeutical doses does not suggest a health concern for these alkaloids. For thebaine and oripavine, no risk characterisation was done due to insufficient data. However, for thebaine, limited evidence indicates a higher acute lethality than for morphine and the estimated exposure could present a health risk.

Organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1) modulates multiple cardiometabolic traits through effects on hepatic thiamine content. PLoS Biol 2018; 16:e2002907. [PMID: 29659562 PMCID: PMC5919692 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.2002907] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2017] [Revised: 04/26/2018] [Accepted: 03/20/2018] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
A constellation of metabolic disorders, including obesity, dysregulated lipids, and elevations in blood glucose levels, has been associated with cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Analysis of data from recently published genome-wide association studies (GWAS) demonstrated that reduced-function polymorphisms in the organic cation transporter, OCT1 (SLC22A1), are significantly associated with higher total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and triglyceride (TG) levels and an increased risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus, yet the mechanism linking OCT1 to these metabolic traits remains puzzling. Here, we show that OCT1, widely characterized as a drug transporter, plays a key role in modulating hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism, potentially by mediating thiamine (vitamin B1) uptake and hence its levels in the liver. Deletion of Oct1 in mice resulted in reduced activity of thiamine-dependent enzymes, including pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), which disrupted the hepatic glucose–fatty acid cycle and shifted the source of energy production from glucose to fatty acids, leading to a reduction in glucose utilization, increased gluconeogenesis, and altered lipid metabolism. In turn, these effects resulted in increased total body adiposity and systemic levels of glucose and lipids. Importantly, wild-type mice on thiamine deficient diets (TDs) exhibited impaired glucose metabolism that phenocopied Oct1 deficient mice. Collectively, our study reveals a critical role of hepatic thiamine deficiency through OCT1 deficiency in promoting the metabolic inflexibility that leads to the pathogenesis of cardiometabolic disease. The liver is the major organ for glucose and lipid metabolism; impairment in liver energy metabolism is often found in metabolic disorders. Traditionally, excesses in macronutrients (fat and glucose) are linked to the development of metabolic disorders. Our study provides evidence that imbalances in a micronutrient, vitamin B1 (thiamine), can serve as an etiological cause of lipid and glucose disorders and implicates the organic cation transporter, OCT1, in these disorders. OCT1 is a key determinant of thiamine levels in the liver. In humans, reduced-function polymorphisms of OCT1 significantly associate with high LDL cholesterol levels. Using Oct1 knockout mice, we show that reduced OCT1-mediated thiamine uptake in the liver leads to reduced levels of TPP—the active metabolite of thiamine—and decreased activity of key TPP-dependent enzymes. As a result, a shift from glucose to fatty acid oxidation occurs, leading to imbalances in key metabolic intermediates, alterations in metabolic flux pathways, and disruptions of various metabolic regulatory mechanisms. The extensive characterization of Oct1 knockout mice provides evidence for the molecular mechanisms responsible for various metabolic traits and indicates an important role for imbalances in micronutrients in cardiometabolic disorders.

Genetic Heterogeneity of SLC22 Family of Transporters in Drug Disposition. J Pers Med 2018; 8:jpm8020014.

Abstract
An important aspect of modern medicine is its orientation to achieve more personalized pharmacological treatments. In this context, transporters involved in drug disposition have gained well-justified attention. Owing to its broad spectrum of substrate specificity, including endogenous compounds and xenobiotics, and its strategical expression in organs accounting for drug disposition, such as intestine, liver and kidney, the SLC22 family of transporters plays an important role in physiology, pharmacology and toxicology. Among these carriers are plasma membrane transporters for organic cations (OCTs) and anions (OATs) with a marked overlap in substrate specificity. These two major clades of SLC22 proteins share a similar membrane topology but differ in their degree of genetic variability. Members of the OCT subfamily are highly polymorphic, whereas OATs have a lower number of genetic variants. Regarding drug disposition, changes in the activity of these variants affect intestinal absorption and target tissue uptake, but more frequently they modify plasma levels due to enhanced or reduced clearance by the liver and secretion by the kidney. The consequences of these changes in transport-associated function markedly affect the effectiveness and toxicity of the treatment in patients carrying the mutation. In solid tumors, changes in the expression of these transporters and the existence of genetic variants substantially determine the response to anticancer drugs. Moreover, chemoresistance usually evolves in response to pharmacological and radiological treatment. Future personalized medicine will require monitoring these changes in a dynamic way to adapt the treatment to the weaknesses shown by each tumor at each stage in each patient.

Abstract
Background Ranitidine (Zantac®) is a H2-receptor antagonist commonly used for the treatment of acid-related gastrointestinal diseases. Ranitidine was reported to be a substrate of the organic cation transporters OCT1 and OCT2. The hepatic transporter OCT1 is highly genetically variable. Twelve major alleles confer partial or complete loss of OCT1 activity. The effects of these polymorphisms are highly substrate-specific and therefore difficult to predict. The renal transporter OCT2 has a common polymorphism, Ala270Ser, which was reported to affect OCT2 activity. Aim In this study we analyzed the effects of genetic polymorphisms in OCT1 and OCT2 on the uptake of ranitidine and on its potency to inhibit uptake of other drugs. Methods and results We characterized ranitidine uptake using HEK293 and CHO cells stably transfected to overexpress wild type OCT1, OCT2, or their naturally occurring allelic variants. Ranitidine was transported by wild-type OCT1 with a Km of 62.9 μM and a vmax of 1125 pmol/min/mg protein. Alleles OCT1*5, *6, *12, and *13 completely lacked ranitidine uptake. Alleles OCT1*2, *3, *4, and *10 had vmax values decreased by more than 50%. In contrast, OCT1*8 showed an increase of vmax by 25%. The effects of OCT1 alleles on ranitidine uptake strongly correlated with the effects on morphine uptake suggesting common interaction mechanisms of both drugs with OCT1. Ranitidine inhibited the OCT1-mediated uptake of metformin and morphine at clinically relevant concentrations. The inhibitory potency for morphine uptake was affected by the OCT1*2 allele. OCT2 showed only a limited uptake of ranitidine that was not significantly affected by the Ala270Ser polymorphism. Conclusions We confirmed ranitidine as an OCT1 substrate and demonstrated that common genetic polymorphisms in OCT1 strongly affect ranitidine uptake and modulate ranitidine’s potential to cause drug-drug interactions. The effects of the frequent OCT1 polymorphisms on ranitidine pharmacokinetics in humans remain to be analyzed.

Abstract
Fenoterol is a widely used anti-asthmatic and tocolytic agent, but high plasma concentrations of fenoterol may lead to severe and even fatal adverse reactions. We studied whether heritable deficiency of the liver organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1), a trait observed in 3% of Europeans and white Americans, affects fenoterol plasma concentrations and toxicity. OCT1 transported fenoterol with high affinity, and OCT1 inhibition in human hepatocytes reduced fenoterol uptake threefold. After administration of 180 µg of fenoterol to 39 healthy individuals, the OCT1-deficient individuals (zero active OCT1 alleles; n = 5) showed 1.9-fold greater systemic fenoterol exposure (P = 4.0 × 10-5 ) and 1.7-fold lower volume of distribution (P = 8.0 × 10-5 ). Correspondingly, the OCT1-deficient individuals had a 1.5-fold stronger increase in heart rate (P = 0.002), a 3.4-fold greater increase in blood glucose (P = 3.0 × 10-5 ), and significantly lower serum potassium levels. In conclusion, heritable OCT1 deficiency significantly increases plasma concentrations of fenoterol and may be an important factor underlying the excess mortality associated with fenoterol.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study determined whether the SLC22A1 [encoding the organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1)] genotype could explain, in addition to the postmenstrual age (referring to gestational plus postnatal age) and CYP2D6 genotype, the tramadol (M) pharmacokinetic variability in early infancy. METHODS Fifty infants, median postmenstrual age 39.5 (interquartile range: 36.8-41.3) weeks, received an i.v. M loading dose (2 mg/kg) followed by a continuous infusion (5-8 mg·kg·24 h). Blood was sampled from 4 to 24 hours after start of the M treatment, which generated 230 observations. M and O-desmethyltramadol (M1) concentrations were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS Linear mixed-model analysis illustrated that the SLC22A1/OCT1 genotype was independently associated with a log-transformed M1/M ratio (P = 0.013), with carriers of <2 SLC22A1/OCT1 functional gene copies having a higher M1/M ratio (2.25; 95% CI, 2.01-2.48) than infants with 2 functional gene copies (1.86; 95% CI, 1.66-2.06). The CYP2D6/SLC22A1 combined genotype was associated with 57.8% higher M1/M ratio in carriers of ≥2 CYP2D6 functional gene copies and <2 SLC22A1/OCT1 functional gene copies compared with infants with <2 active CYP2D6 functional gene copies and SLC22A1/OCT1 normal activity (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS These findings highlight the additional role of SLC22A1/OCT1 genetics in M1 exposure in neonates. They also suggest that OCT1 is already active early after birth, which may have impact on the disposition of other OCT1 substrates in this population.

Abstract
The organic cation transporter OCT1 (SLC22A1) mediates uptake and metabolism of the active tramadol metabolite (+)O-desmethyltramadol in the liver. In this study, the influence of OCT1 genetic polymorphisms on pharmacokinetics and analgesic efficacy of tramadol in patients recovering from surgery was analyzed in addition to the CYP2D6 genotype. Postoperative patients who received tramadol through patient-controlled analgesia were enrolled. Genotypes resulting in 0, 1, or 2 active OCT1 alleles were determined as well as CYP2D6 genotypes. The primary endpoint was the 24-hour postoperative tramadol consumption in patients with 0 vs at least 1 active OCT1 allele. Secondary endpoint was the OCT1-dependent plasma concentration (areas under the concentration-time curves) of the active tramadol metabolite (+)O-desmethyltramadol. Of 205 patients, 19, 82, and 104 carried 0, 1, and 2 active OCT1 alleles, respectively. Cumulative tramadol consumption through patient-controlled analgesia was lowest in patients with 0 active OCT1 allele compared with the group of patients with 1 or 2 active alleles (343 ± 235 vs 484 ± 276 mg; P = 0.03). Multiple regression revealed that the number of active OCT1 alleles (P = 0.014), CYP2D6 (P = 0.001), pain scores (P < 0.001), and the extent of surgery (0.034) had a significant influence on tramadol consumption. Plasma areas under the concentration-time curves of (+)O-desmethyltramadol were 111.8 (95% confidence interval: 63.4-160.1), 80.2 (65.1-95.3), and 64.5 (51.9-77.2) h·ng·mL in carriers of 0, 1, or 2 active OCT1 alleles (P = 0.03). Loss of OCT1 function resulted in reduced tramadol consumption and increased plasma concentrations of (+)O-desmethyltramadol in patients recovering from surgery. Therefore, analyzing OCT1 next to CYP2D6 genotype might further improve future genotype-dependent dose recommendations for tramadol.

Abstract
Beside drug metabolizing enzymes alsogenetically variable membrane transporters may substantially contribute to the interindividual variability in pharmacokinetics and efficacy of opioids and other analgesics. The organic cation transporter OCT1 is strongly expressed in the sinusoidal membrane of the human liver. It may affect hepatic uptake and thus limit metabolic rates. OCT1 is highly genetically variable. Genetic polymorphisms lead to substantially reduced OCT1 activity in up to 9% of the Europeans and the white Americans. This review summarize the data on the effect of OCT1 polymorphisms on pharmacokinetics and efficacy of opioids like morphine, codeine, and tramadol and of anti-migraine drugs. It discuss currently possible applications and perspectives for establishing OCT1 pharmacogenetics as a useful tool in personalized pain management.

Abstract
Drug transporters play a key role in mediating the uptake of endo- and exogenous substances into cells as well as their efflux. Therefore, variability in drug transporter activity can influence pharmaco- and toxicokinetics and be a determinant of drug safety and efficacy. In children, particularly in neonates and young infants, the contribution of tissue-specific drug transporters to drug absorption, distribution, and excretion may differ from that in adults. In this review 5 major factors and their interdependence that may influence drug transporter activity in children are discussed: developmental differences, genetic polymorphisms, pediatric comorbidities, interacting comedication, and environmental factors. Even if data are sparse, altered drug transporter activity due to those factors have been associated with clinically relevant differences in drug disposition, efficacy, and safety in pediatric patients. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in drug transporter-encoding genes were the most studied source of drug transporter variability in children. However, in the age group where drug transporter activity has been reported to differ from that in adults, namely neonates and young infants, hardly any studies have been performed. Longitudinal studies in this young population are required to investigate the age- and disease-dependent genotype-phenotype relationships and relevance of drug transporter drug-drug interactions. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling approaches can integrate drug- and patient-specific parameters, including drug transporter ontogeny, and may further improve in silico predictions of pediatric-specific pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
AIM To determine parents' use of their children's CYP2D6 research result. We hypothesized that perceived utility, likelihood of sharing and actual sharing of results would differ between parents with children previously exposed (cases) or unexposed (controls) to opioids. METHODS We returned results by phone (baseline). We surveyed parents about perceived utility and likelihood of sharing their child's research result at baseline, and actual sharing at 3 and 12 months. RESULTS Cases were more likely than controls to agree that they (p = 0.022) and the doctors (p = 0.041) could use the results to care for their child, to report higher likelihood of sharing (p = 0.042) and to actually share results with the child's doctor (p = 0.026). CONCLUSION Prior opioid exposure influenced perceived clinical utility and sharing behaviors.

Abstract
Drug pharmacokinetics is influenced by the function of metabolising enzymes and influx/efflux transporters. Genetic variability of these genes is known to impact on clinical therapies. Solute Carrier Transporters (SLCs) are the primary influx transporters responsible for the cellular uptake of drug molecules, which consequently, impact on drug efficacy and toxicity. The Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptides (OATPs), Organic Anion Transporters (OATs) and Organic Cation Transporters (OCTs/OCTNs) are the most important SLCs involved in drug disposition. The information regarding the influence of SLC polymorphisms on drug pharmacokinetics is limited and remains a hot topic of pharmaceutical research. This review summarises the recent advance in the pharmacogenomics of SLCs with an emphasis on human OATPs, OATs and OCTs/OCTNs. Our current appreciation of the degree of variability in these transporters may contribute to better understanding the inter-patient variation of therapies and thus, guide the optimisation of clinical treatments.

Abstract
AIM Large interindividual variability in morphine pharmacokinetics (PK) could contribute to variability in morphine analgesia and adverse events. Respiratory depression (RD) and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are significant adverse drug response of intravenous morphine in the perioperative setting limiting its efficacy in achieving adequate surgical pain relief. OCT1 is a transporter in the liver that transports morphine from the bloodstream into hepatocytes. Earlier we reported association of genetic polymorphisms in OCT1 with morphine PK, and lower morphine clearance in Caucasian children as compared with African-American (AA) children. The aim of this study is to identify the association between common OCT1 genotypes affecting morphine's PK and clinically important postoperative morphine-related adverse outcomes. METHODS After obtaining institutional review board (IRB) approval and informed consents, 311 children ages 6-15 years, American Society of Anesthesiologists' physical status 1 or 2 scheduled for tonsillectomy who received standard anesthetic, surgical and postoperative care were recruited. Clinical data collected included postoperative pain scores, total opioid use, incidence of PONV and RD. Four nonsynonymous SNPs of the OCT1 gene (rs12208357, rs34130495, rs72552763 and rs34059508) in each patient were genotyped using commercially available TaqMan assays. We investigated the genetic association of OCT1 with incidences of postoperative RD and PONV. RESULTS Caucasian and AA children differed significantly in the incidence of obstructive sleep apnea (p < 0.001) and total morphine use (p = 0.028). There were incidences of prolonged post anesthesia care unit stay in 7% of Caucasian children, while no such incidences were observed for AA children (p = 0.05). OCT1 polymorphism rs12208357 was associated with high incidences of PONV and PONV leading to prolonged post anesthesia care unit stay (p < 0.05). A significant association was also found between rs72552763 GAT deletion and high incidence of RD (p = 0.007). CONCLUSION Children with certain OCT1 genotypes are associated with higher risk for RD and PONV following morphine administration leading to prolonged hospital stay. The OCT1 transporters' effects on morphine's PK could explain this association.

Prolonged Perioperative Low-Dose Ketamine Does Not Improve Short and Long-term Outcomes After Pediatric Idiopathic Scoliosis Surgery. Spine (Phila Pa 1976) 2017; 42:E304-E312.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, with a six-month follow-up period. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that a 72-hour dose of subanesthetic ketamine in this surgical procedure reduces postoperative morphine use and to assess whether there are fewer adverse effects, if postoperative recovery is faster, if there is less peri-incisional hyperalgesia, or if there is lower incidence of persistent postsurgical pain. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Tissue injury and high opioid requirements following posterior spinal fusion surgery produce central sensitization, which can in turn be associated with hyperalgesia and chronic pain. Clinical trials involving this type of procedure using subanesthetic ketamine doses have assessed pain and morphine requirements with contradictory results. The effects of prolonged subanesthetic ketamine doses on postoperative recovery, mechanical hyperalgesia, and the incidence of chronic pain are unknown. METHODS A total of 48 pediatric patients between 10 and 18 years diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis were randomized to receive perioperative low-dose ketamine or placebo for 72 hours. They received general anesthesia, intraoperative remifentanil, and morphine postoperatively (patient-controlled analgesia). We measured morphine consumption, pain at rest and during movement (coughing), undesirable effects, and sedation during morphine treatment. The onset of oral intake, ambulation, and hospital stay were recorded. The extent of the peri-incisional hyperalgesia was measured at 72 hours and pain controls were conducted postsurgery. RESULTS Primary endpoint results (total cumulative morphine consumption while admitted) were obtained in 44 patients. Results were 2.72 (SD 1.13) in the placebo group and 3.13 (SD 1.13) in the study group (P = 0.2903), with no significant differences. Moreover, differences were not found between the experimental group and the placebo group in the secondary endpoints analyzed. CONCLUSION Our findings do not support the routine combining of prolonged subanesthetic ketamine doses with opioids in posterior fusion surgery in children with idiopathic scoliosis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 2.

Characterization of Contributing Factors to Variability in Morphine Clearance Through PBPK Modeling Implemented With OCT1 Transporter. CPT-PHARMACOMETRICS & SYSTEMS PHARMACOLOGY 2016; 6:110-119.

Abstract
Morphine shows large interindividual variability in its pharmacokinetics; however, the cause of this has not been fully addressed. The variability in morphine disposition is considered to be due to a combination of pharmacogenetic and physiological determinants related to morphine disposition. We previously reported the effect of organic cation transporter (OCT1) genotype on morphine disposition in pediatric patients. To further explore the underlying mechanisms for variability arising from relevant determinants, including OCT1, a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of morphine was developed. The PBPK model predicted morphine concentration‐time profiles well, in both adults and children. Almost all of the observed morphine clearances in pediatric patients fell within a twofold range of median predicted values for each OCT1 genotype in each age group. This PBPK modeling approach quantitatively demonstrates that OCT1 genotype, age‐related growth, and changes in blood flow as important contributors to morphine pharmacokinetic (PK) variability.
