Abstract
The interest in transporter-mediated drug interactions has been increasing in the field of drug development. In this study, we measured the plasma and urinary concentrations of coproporphyrin (CP) I and CP III as endogenous substrates for organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) using chimeric mice with human hepatocytes (PXB mice) and examined the influence of an OATP inhibitor, rifampicin (RIF). CP I and CP III were actively taken up intracellularly, and RIF inhibited the uptake in a concentration-dependent manner for both CP I and CP III in human hepatocytes (PXB-cells). Single doses of RIF at 10 and 30 mg/kg were orally or intravenously administered to PXB mice and wild-type ICR mice. Plasma concentrations (AUC0-8h) of CP I increased in both mice. However, a marked increase in CP III was only observed in ICR mice, after intravenous administration of RIF at 30 mg/kg. The IC50 values of RIF for intracellular CP I/III uptake and the unbound plasma concentrations of RIF suggested that the increase in plasma CP I is associated with the exposure of RIF to OATPs. The 24-h cumulative urinary excretions of CP I and CP III increased in both mice, but more markedly in PXB mice. Thus, RIF increased the plasma and urinary concentrations of CP I and CP III in the mice, as reported in humans, and CP I may be a more sensitive biomarker of OATP-mediated drug interactions in PXB mice.

New Biomarkers for Renal Transporter-Mediated Drug-Drug Interactions: Metabolomic Effects of Cimetidine, Probenecid, Verapamil, and Rifampin in Humans. Clin Pharmacol Ther 2024.

Abstract
The inhibition of renal transport proteins organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2), multidrug and toxin extrusion proteins (MATE1, MATE2-K), and organic anion transporters (OAT1, OAT3) causes clinically relevant drug-drug interactions (DDI). Endogenous biomarkers could be used to improve risk prediction of such renal DDIs. While a number of biomarkers for renal DDIs have been described so far, multiple criteria for valid biomarkers have frequently not been investigated, for example, specificity, metabolism, or food effects. Therefore, there is a need for novel biomarkers of renal DDIs. Here, we investigated the global metabolomic effects following the administration of two classical inhibitors of renal transport proteins [cimetidine (OCT2/MATEs), probenecid (OATs)] in human plasma and urine of healthy volunteers. Additionally, we investigated metabolomic effects of two inhibitors of other transporters [verapamil (P-glycoprotein), rifampin (organic anion transporting polypeptides)] as controls. This analysis shows that both cimetidine and probenecid affect compounds involved in caffeine metabolism, carnitines, and sulfates. Hierarchical cluster analysis of the effects of all four inhibitors on endogenous compounds identified multiple promising new sensitive and specific biomarker candidates for OCT2/MATE- or OAT-mediated DDIs. For OCT2/MATEs, 5-amino valeric acid betaine (median log2-fold change of estimated renal elimination: -3.62) presented itself as a promising candidate. For OATs, estimated renal elimination of 7-methyluric acid and cinnamoylglycine (median log2-fold changes -3.10 and -1.92, respectively) was both sensitive and specific. This study provides comprehensive information on metabolomic effects of transport protein inhibition in humans and identifies putative new sensitive and specific biomarkers for renal transporter-mediated DDIs.

Abstract
Determination of serum creatinine concentrations and subsequent calculation of estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) is a cornerstone of clinical medicine. Crucial clinical decisions such as drug treatment discontinuations are based on eGFR calculated from serum creatinine measurements. However, creatinine is not only filtered in the kidneys, but also actively secreted into urine. Creatinine transporters such as OCT2, OCT3, MATE1, MATE2-K, and OAT2 expressed in proximal tubular cells are responsible for active renal secretion of creatinine. Multiple drugs (e.g., oral antitumor drugs) inhibit these transporters thereby causing a pseudo-worsening of kidney function with an increase in serum creatinine concentrations and a decrease in eGFR while other methods for eGFR determination (e.g., by cystatin C) reveal normal kidney function. Since US Prescribing Information (PI) and European Summaries of Product Characteristics (SmPCs) are the most relevant source of information for physicians, we investigated the quality of information in US PI/German SmPCs of drugs with clear evidence for pseudo-worsening of kidney function. 514 drugs putatively interacting with creatinine transporters were identified. For 149 of those drugs, an increase in serum creatinine concentrations has been described. Available data confirmed the existence of pseudo-worsening of kidney function for 30 of those drugs, for the remaining 119 drugs existing data are insufficient. Only 23.5% (12/51) of the 30 drugs' PI/SmPCs contained unambiguous statements on this proven pseudo-worsening of kidney function and gave clear recommendations for clinical management. Taken together, inadequate information provided in PI or SmPCs on the pseudo-worsening of kidney function poses patients at unnecessary risks.

Abstract
This review, part of a special issue on drug-drug interactions (DDIs) spearheaded by the International Society for the Study of Xenobiotics (ISSX) New Investigators, explores the critical role of drug transporters in absorption, disposition, and clearance in the context of DDIs. Over the past two decades, significant advances have been made in understanding the clinical relevance of these transporters. Current knowledge on key uptake and efflux transporters that affect drug disposition and development is summarized. Regulatory guidelines from the FDA, EMA, and PMDA that inform the evaluation of potential transporter-mediated DDIs are discussed in detail. Methodologies for preclinical and clinical testing to assess potential DDIs are reviewed, with an emphasis on the utility of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling. This includes the application of relative abundance and expression factors to predict human pharmacokinetics (PK) using preclinical data, integrating the latest regulatory guidelines. Considerations for assessing transporter-mediated DDIs in special populations, including pediatric, hepatic, and renal impairment groups, are provided. Additionally, the impact of transporters at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) on the disposition of CNS-related drugs is explored. Enhancing the understanding of drug transporters and their role in drug disposition and toxicity can improve efficacy and reduce adverse effects. Continued research is essential to bridge remaining gaps in knowledge, particularly in comparison with cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes.

Abstract
The renal secretion of many drugs is facilitated by membrane transporters, including organic cation transporter 2, multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 1/2-K and organic anion transporters 1 and 3. Inhibition of these transporters can reduce renal excretion of drugs and thereby pose a safety risk. Assessing the risk of inhibition of these membrane transporters by investigational drugs remains a key focus in the evaluation of drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Current methods to predict DDI risk are based on generating in vitro data followed by a clinical assessment using a recommended exogenous probe substrate for the individual drug transporter. More recently, monitoring plasma-based and urine-based endogenous biomarkers to predict transporter-mediated DDIs in early phase I studies represents a promising approach to facilitate, improve and potentially avoid conventional clinical DDI studies. This perspective reviews the evidence for use of these endogenous biomarkers in the assessment of renal transporter-mediated DDI, evaluates how endogenous biomarkers may help to expand the DDI assessment toolkit and offers some potential knowledge gaps. A conceptual framework for assessment that may complement the current paradigm of predicting the potential for renal transporter-mediated DDIs is outlined.

Abstract
Endogenous biomarkers are discussed as tools for detection of drug-drug interactions (DDIs) mediated by renal transport proteins, such as organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2), multidrug and toxin extrusion proteins (MATE1 and MATE2-K) and organic anion transporters (OAT1 and OAT3). Whereas sensitivity of some endogenous biomarkers against at least one clinical transporter inhibitor has frequently been shown, intra-study comparisons of the extent of effects of inhibitors on different biomarkers are frequently lacking. Moreover, in vivo specificity of such discussed biomarkers has frequently not been studied. We therefore investigated changes of 10 previously described putative biomarkers for inhibition of OCT2/MATEs, as well as 15 previously described putative biomarkers for OATs in human plasma and urine samples of healthy volunteers in response to treatment with 4 inhibitors of transport proteins [verapamil (P-glycoprotein), rifampin (organic anion transporting polypeptides), cimetidine (OCT2/MATEs), and probenecid (OATs)]. Two of the putative biomarkers had been suggested for both OCT2/MATEs and OATs. All substances were unequivocally identified in an untargeted metabolomics assay. The OCT2/MATE biomarkers choline and trimethylamine N-oxide were both sensitive and specific (median log2-fold changes -1.18 in estimated renal elimination and -0.85 in urinary excretion, respectively). For renal OATs, indoleacetyl glutamine and indoleacetic acid (median log2-fold changes -3.77 and -2.85 in estimated renal elimination, respectively) were the candidates for sensitive and specific biomarkers with the most extensive change, followed by taurine, indolelactic acid, and hypoxanthine. This comprehensive study adds further knowledge on sensitivity and specificity of 23 previously described biomarkers of renal OCT2/MATE- and OAT-mediated DDIs.

Abstract
In recent years, the identification of endogenous substrates as biomarkers became an uprising topic. Particularly coproporphyrins (CPs), byproducts of heme biosynthesis, are intensely investigated as biomarkers for predicting interactions with the organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B transporters. In the context of drug-drug interactions, several preclinical and clinical studies assessed the effect of the OATP1B-index inhibitor rifampin on CPI levels. However, rifampin is not only a "perpetrator" drug of transporters but is also known for its interaction with the nuclear receptor pregnane X receptor (PXR) leading to the efficient induction of PXR-target genes. These include hemoproteins like cytochrome P450 enzymes but also the δ-aminolevulinate synthase 1, which is the rate-limiting enzyme in heme biosynthesis. In this study, we showed that quantification of CPs in clinical serum samples was possible after long-term storage at -20°C. We quantified CPI, CPIII, and heme levels in clinical serum samples (at selected timepoints) that originated from a trial investigating the interaction potential of repeated rifampin administration in 12 healthy participants. In samples collected at the assumed time to maximum concentration of rifampin, higher CP levels were observed compared to baseline. Increased levels persisted even 14 h after discontinuation of rifampin. No impact on heme serum levels was observed. We found a correlation between CP isomers at baseline and at 14 h after rifampin intake. In summary, we show that multiple doses of rifampin affect CP levels. However, besides inhibition of hepatic OATP function there is evidence for an interaction with CP levels beyond the transporter level.

Abstract
In recent years, various endogenous compounds have been proposed as putative biomarkers for the hepatic uptake transporters OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 that have the potential to predict transporter-mediated drug–drug interactions (DDIs). However, these compounds have often been identified from top–down strategies and have not been fully utilized as a substitute for traditional DDI studies. In an attempt to eliminate observer bias in biomarker selection, we applied a bottom–up, untargeted metabolomics screening approach in mice and found that plasma levels of the conjugated bile acid chenodeoxycholate-24-glucuronide (CDCA-24G) are particularly sensitive to deletion of the orthologous murine transporter Oatp1b2 (31-fold increase vs. wild type) or the entire Oatp1a/1b(−/−)cluster (83-fold increased), whereas the humanized transgenic overexpression of hepatic OATP1B1 or OATP1B3 resulted in the partial restoration of transport function. Validation studies with the OATP1B1/OATP1B3 inhibitors rifampin and paclitaxel in vitro as well as in mice and human subjects confirmed that CDCA-24G is a sensitive and rapid response biomarker to dose-dependent transporter inhibition. Collectively, our study confirmed the ability of CDCA-24G to serve as a sensitive and selective endogenous biomarker of OATP1B-type transport function and suggests a template for the future development of biomarkers for other clinically important xenobiotic transporters.

Abstract
One of the major reasons why central nervous system (CNS)-drug development has been challenging in the past, is the barriers that prevent substances entering from the blood circulation into the brain. These barriers include the blood-brain barrier (BBB), blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB), blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB), and blood-arachnoid barrier (BAB), and they differ from each other in their transporter protein expression and function as well as among the species. The quantitative expression profiles of the transporters in the CNS-barriers have been recently revealed, and in this review, it is described how they affect the pharmacokinetics of compounds and how these expression differences can be taken into account in the prediction of brain drug disposition in humans, an approach called pharmacoproteomics. In recent years, also structural biology and computational resources have progressed remarkably, enabling a detailed understanding of the dynamic processes of transporters. Molecular dynamics simulations (MDS) are currently used commonly to reveal the conformational changes of the transporters and to find the interactions between the substrates and the protein during the binding, translocation in the transporter cavity, and release of the substrate on the other side of the membrane. The computational advancements have also aided in the rational design of transporter-utilizing compounds, including prodrugs that can be actively transported without losing potency towards the pharmacological target. In this review, the state-of-art of these approaches will be also discussed to give insights into the transporter-mediated drug delivery to the CNS.
