[PMID: 38708282 PMCID: PMC11064166 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c00109] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024]
Abstract
The isolated perfused rat liver (IPRL) model provides a mechanistic understanding of the organic-anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP/Oatp)-mediated pharmacokinetics in the preclinical evaluation, which often requires the use of control substrates (i.e., pitavastatin) and monitoring endogenous biomarkers (coproporphyrin I and III). This study aimed to develop and validate an LC-MS method allowing the simultaneous quantification of pitavastatin, coproporphyrin I (CPI), and coproporphyrin III (CPIII) in rat liver perfusion matrices (perfusate, liver homogenate, bile). The analysis was performed on a C18 column at 60 °C with 20 μL of sample injection. The mobile phases consisted of water with 0.1% formic acid and acetonitrile with 0.1% formic acid with a gradient flow of 0.5 mL/min. The assay was validated according to the ICH M10 Bioanalytical Method Validation Guideline (2022) for selectivity, calibration curve and range, matrix effect, carryover, accuracy, precision, and reinjection reproducibility. The method allowing the simultaneous quantification of pitavastatin, CPI, and CPIII was selective without having carryover and matrix effects. The linear calibration curves were obtained within various calibration ranges for three analytes in different matrices. Accuracy and precision values fulfilled the required limits. After 60 min perfusion with pitavastatin (1 μM), the cumulative amounts of pitavastatin in the liver and bile were 5.770 ± 1.504 and 0.852 ± 0.430 nmol/g liver, respectively. CPIII was a more dominant marker than CPI in both liver (0.028 ± 0.017 vs 0.013 ± 0.008 nmol/g liver) and bile (0.016 ± 0.011 vs 0.009 ± 0.007 nmol/g liver). The novel and validated bioanalytical method can be applied in further IPRL preparations investigating Oatp-mediated pharmacokinetics and DDIs.

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

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common form of inherited polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and is a leading cause of kidney failure. Fluid-filled cysts develop in the kidneys of patients with ADPKD, and cysts often form in their liver and other organs. Previous data have shown that bile acids are increased in the liver of polycystic kidney (PCK) rats, a rodent model of PKD; these changes may be associated with alterations in liver transporter expression and function. However, the impact of PKD on hepatic transporters has not been characterized. Therefore, this preclinical study was designed to investigate hepatic transporter expression and function in PCK compared with wild-type (WT) Sprague-Dawley rats. Transporter gene expression was measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and protein levels were quantified by Western blot and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy (LC-MS/MS)-based proteomic analysis in rat livers. Transporter function was assessed in isolated perfused livers (IPLs), and biliary and hepatic total glutathione content was measured. Protein expression of Mrp2 and Oatp1a4 was decreased 3.0-fold and 2.9-fold, respectively, in PCK rat livers based on Western blot analysis. Proteomic analysis confirmed a decrease in Mrp2 and a decrease in Oatp1a1 expression (PCK/WT ratios, 0.368 ± 0.098 and 0.563 ± 0.038, respectively; mean ± S.D.). The biliary excretion of 5(6)-carboxy-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein, a substrate of Oatp1a1, Mrp2, and Mrp3, was decreased 28-fold in PCK compared with WT rat IPLs. Total glutathione was significantly reduced in the bile of PCK rats. Differences in hepatic transporter expression and function may contribute to altered disposition of Mrp2 and Oatp substrates in PKD.

Abstract
Tolvaptan, a vasopressin V2-receptor antagonist, has demonstrated efficacy in slowing kidney function decline in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). In the pivotal clinical trial, the incidence of elevated liver enzymes was higher in patients receiving tolvaptan compared with placebo. Adjudication by a panel of expert hepatologists concluded a causal link of tolvaptan to liver injury in patients with ADPKD. An ex situ isolated perfused liver (IPL) study of tolvaptan disposition was undertaken in a rodent model of ADPKD, the polycystic kidney (PCK) rat (n = 5), and compared with wild-type (WT) Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 6). Livers were perfused with tolvaptan, followed by a tolvaptan-free washout phase. Total recovery (mean ± S.D. percentage of dose; PCK vs. WT) of tolvaptan and two metabolites, DM-4103 and DM-4107, quantified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy, was 58.14% ± 24.72% vs. 43.40% ± 18.11% in liver, 20.10% ± 9.15% vs. 21.17% ± 12.51% in outflow perfusate, and 0.08% ± 0.01% vs. 0.39% ± 0.32% in bile. DM-4103 recovery (mean ± S.D. percentage of dose) was decreased in PCK vs. WT bile (<0.01% ± <0.01% vs. 0.02% ± 0.01%; P = 0.0037), and DM-4107 recovery was increased in PCK vs. WT outflow perfusate (1.60% ± 0.57% vs. 0.43% ± 0.29%; P = 0.0017). A pharmacokinetic compartmental model assuming first-order processes was developed to describe the rate vs. time profiles of tolvaptan and DM-4103 + DM-4107 in rat IPLs. The model-derived estimate of tolvaptan's biliary clearance was significantly decreased in PCK compared with WT IPLs. The model predicted greater hepatocellular concentrations of tolvaptan and DM-4103 + DM-4107 in PCK compared with WT IPLs. Increased hepatocellular exposure to tolvaptan and metabolites may contribute to the hepatotoxicity in patients with ADPKD treated with tolvaptan.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that significantly affects human health and well-being. The Solute carrier transporters (SLCs), particularly the Organic anion/cation transporters (Oats/Octs/Octns), Organic anion transporting polypeptides (Oatps) and Oligopeptide transporters (Pepts) are essential membrane proteins responsible for cellular uptake of many endogenous and exogenous substances such as clinically important drugs. They are widely expressed in mammalian key organs especially the kidney and liver, in which they facilitate the influx of various drug molecules, thereby determining their distribution and elimination in body. The altered expression of SLCs in diabetes mellitus could have a profound and clinically significant influence on drug therapies. In this study, we extensively investigated the renal and hepatic expression of twenty essential SLCs in the type 1 diabetic Ins2Akita murine model that develops both hyperglycemia and diabetes-related complications using real-time PCR and immunoblotting analysis. We found that the renal expression of mOatp1a1, mOatp1a6, mOat1, mOat3, mOat5, mOct2 and mPept2 was decreased; while that of mPept1 was increased at the mRNA level in the diabetic mice compared with non-diabetic controls. We found up-regulated mRNA expression of mOatp1a4, mOatp1c1, mOctn2, mOct3 and mPept1 as well as down-regulation of mOatp1a1 in the livers of diabetic mice. We confirmed the altered protein expression of several SLCs in diabetic mice, especially the decreased renal and hepatic expression of mOatp1a1. We also found down-regulated protein expression of mOat3 and mOctn1 in the kidneys as well as increased protein expression of mOatp1a4 and mOct3 in the livers of diabetic mice. Our findings contribute to better understanding the modulation of SLC transporters in type 1 diabetes mellitus, which is likely to affect the pharmacokinetic performance of drugs that are transported by these transporters and therefore, forms the basis of future therapeutic optimization of regimens in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Typically, pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) models use plasma concentration as the input that drives the PD model. However, interindividual variability in uptake transporter activity can lead to variable drug concentrations in plasma without discernible impact on the effect site organ concentration. A physiologically based PK/PD model for rosuvastatin was developed that linked the predicted liver concentration to the PD response model. The model was then applied to predict the effect of genotype-dependent uptake by the organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1) transporter on the pharmacological response. The area under the plasma concentration–time curve (AUC0–∞) was increased by 63 and 111% for the c.521TC and c.521CC genotypes vs. the c.521TT genotype, while the PD response remained relatively unchanged (3.1 and 5.8% reduction). Using local concentration at the effect site to drive the PD response enabled us to explain the observed disconnect between the effect of the OATP1B1 c521T>C polymorphism on rosuvastatin plasma concentration and the cholesterol synthesis response.

Abstract
Hepatic efflux transporters include numerous well-known and emerging proteins localized to the canalicular or basolateral membrane of the hepatocyte that are responsible for the excretion of drugs into the bile or blood, respectively. Altered function of hepatic efflux transporters due to drug-drug interactions, genetic variation, and/or disease states may lead to changes in xenobiotic exposure in the hepatocyte and/or systemic circulation. This review focuses on transport proteins involved in the hepatocellular efflux of drugs and metabolites, discusses mechanisms of altered transporter function as well as the interplay between multiple transport pathways, and highlights the importance of considering intracellular unbound concentrations of transporter substrates and/or inhibitors. Methods to evaluate hepatic efflux transport and predict the effects of impaired transporter function on systemic and hepatocyte exposure are discussed, and the sandwich-cultured hepatocyte model to evaluate comprehensively the role of hepatic efflux in the hepatobiliary disposition of xenobiotics is characterized.

Abstract
Basolateral efflux clearance (CLBL) contributes significantly to rosuvastatin (RSV) elimination in sandwich-cultured hepatocytes (SCH). The contribution of CLBL to RSV hepatic elimination was determined in single-pass isolated perfused livers (IPLs) from wild-type (WT) and multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (Mrp2)-deficient (TR(-)) rats in the absence and presence of the P-glycoprotein and breast cancer resistance protein (Bcrp) inhibitor, elacridar (GF120918); clearance values were compared with SCH. RSV biliary clearance (CLBile) was ablated almost completely by GF120918 in TR(-) IPLs, confirming that Mrp2 and Bcrp primarily are responsible for RSV CLBile. RSV appearance in outflow perfusate was attributed primarily to CLBL, which was impaired in TR(-) IPLs. CLBL was ≈ 6-fold greater than CLBile in the linear range in WT IPLs in the absence of GF120918. Recovery of unchanged RSV in liver tissue increased in TR(-) compared with WT (≈ 25 versus 6% of the administered dose) due to impaired CLBL and CLBile. RSV pentanoic acid, identified by high-resolution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy, comprised ≈ 40% of total liver content and ≈ 16% of the administered dose in TR(-) livers at the end of perfusion, compared with ≈ 30 and 3% in WT livers, consistent with impaired RSV excretion and "shunting" to the metabolic pathway. In vitro-ex vivo extrapolation between WT SCH and IPLs (without GF120918) revealed that uptake clearance and CLBL were 4.2- and 6.4-fold lower, respectively, in rat SCH compared with IPLs; CLBile translated almost directly (1.1-fold). The present IPL data confirmed the significant role of CLBL in RSV hepatic elimination, and demonstrated that both CLBL and CLBile influence RSV hepatic and systemic exposure.

Abstract
Transporters responsible for hepatic uptake and biliary clearance (CLBile) of rosuvastatin (RSV) have been well characterized. However, the contribution of basolateral efflux clearance (CLBL) to hepatic and systemic exposure of RSV is unknown. Additionally, the appropriate design of in vitro hepatocyte efflux experiments to estimate CLBile versus CLBL remains to be established. A novel uptake and efflux protocol was developed in sandwich-cultured hepatocytes (SCH) to achieve desired tight junction modulation while maintaining cell viability. Subsequently, studies were conducted to determine the role of CLBL in the hepatic disposition of RSV using SCH from wild-type (WT) and multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (Mrp2)-deficient (TR(-)) rats in the absence and presence of the P-glycoprotein and breast cancer resistance protein (Bcrp) inhibitor elacridar (GF120918). RSV CLBile was nearly ablated by GF120918 in TR(-) SCH, confirming that Mrp2 and Bcrp are responsible for the majority of RSV CLBile. Pharmacokinetic modeling revealed that CLBL and CLBile represent alternative elimination routes with quantitatively similar contributions to the overall hepatocellular excretion of RSV in rat SCH under baseline conditions (WT SCH in the absence of GF120918) and also in human SCH. Membrane vesicle experiments revealed that RSV is a substrate of MRP4 (Km = 21 ± 7 µM, Vmax = 1140 ± 210 pmol/min per milligram of protein). Alterations in MRP4-mediated RSV CLBL due to drug-drug interactions, genetic polymorphisms, or disease states may lead to changes in hepatic and systemic exposure of RSV, with implications for the safety and efficacy of this commonly used medication.
