Abstract
Albendazole serves as a broad-spectrum anthelmintic medication for treating hydatid cysts and neurocysticercosis. However, its therapeutic effectiveness is limited by poor solubility. Nanocrystals offer a promising technology to address this limitation by enhancing drug solubility. The objective of this study is to evaluate an effective stabilizer for creating an albendazole nanocrystal formulation to improve oral absorption. Among different surfactants and polymers examined, tea saponins were used as the stabilizer to develop a nanosuspension with the particle size of 180 nm through a wet grinding approach. The physical characteristics of the nanocrystals were assessed using SEM, DSC, and XRPD. The nanocrystals significantly enhanced solubility by 2.9-2602 fold in different media and showed significant enhancement in dissolution rate compared to albendazole crystals in both pH 1.0 and pH 6.8 medium. Everted gut sacs experiments demonstrated that the nanocrystals increased Papp by 3.60-fold in duodenum, 3.76-fold in jejunum, 3.71-fold in ileum, and 5.26-fold in colon, respectively. Furthermore, pharmacokinetic studies revealed that the nanocrystals significantly enhanced oral bioavailability, resulting in a 4.65-fold increase in plasma AUC0-t value of albendazole sulfoxide (the primary active metabolite of albendazole) compared to the albendazole group. The present data indicates that tea saponins are potential natural stabilizers for preparing nanocrystals with enhanced oral bioavailability for insoluble drugs.

Abstract
Food-derived peptides, as dietary supplements, have significant effects on promoting brain health and relieving central nervous system (CNS) diseases. However, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) greatly limits their in-brain bioavailability. Thus, overcoming the BBB to target the CNS is a major challenge for bioactive peptides in the prevention and treatment of CNS diseases. This review discusses improvement in the neuroprotective function of food-derived active peptides in CNS diseases, as well as the source of BBB penetrating peptides (BBB-shuttles) and the mechanism of transmembrane transport. Notably, this review also discusses various peptide modification methods to overcome the low permeability and stability of the BBB. Lipification, glycosylation, introduction of disulfide bonds, and cyclization are effective strategies for improving the penetration efficiency of peptides through the BBB. This review provides a new prospective for improving their neuroprotective function and developing treatments to delay or even prevent CNS diseases.

Abstract
In veterinary field, drug exposure during milk production in dairy cattle is considered a major health problem which concerns dairy consumers. The induced expression of the ABC transporter G2 (ABCG2) in the mammary gland during lactation plays a significant role in the active secretion of many compounds into milk. The main objective of this study was to determine the involvement of ABCG2 in the secretion into milk of the antiparasitic clorsulon in sheep as well as the possible effect of the coadministration of model ABCG2 inhibitors such as macrocyclic lactones on this process. Cells transduced with the ovine variant of ABCG2 were used to carry out in vitro transepithelial transport assays in which we showed that clorsulon is a substrate of the ovine transporter. In addition, ivermectin and abamectin significantly inhibited clorsulon transport mediated by ovine ABCG2. In vivo interactions were studied in Assaf sheep after coadministration of clorsulon (in DMSO, 2 mg/kg, s.c.) with ivermectin (Ivomec®, 0.2 mg/kg, s.c.) or abamectin (in DMSO, 0.2 mg/kg, s.c.). After ivermectin and abamectin treatment, no relevant statistically significant differences in plasma levels of clorsulon were reported between the experimental groups since there were no differences in the area under the plasma concentration-curve (AUC) between clorsulon treatment alone and coadministration with macrocyclic lactones. With regard to milk, total amount of clorsulon, as percentage of dose excreted, did not show statistically significant differences when macrocyclic lactones were coadministered. However, the AUC for clorsulon significantly decreased (p < 0.05) after coadministration with ivermectin (15.15 ± 3.17 μg h/mL) and abamectin (15.30 ± 3.25 μg h/mL) compared to control group (20.73 ± 4.97 μg h/mL). Moreover, milk parameters such as half-life (T1/2) and mean residence time (MRT) were significantly lower (p < 0.05) after coadministration of macrocyclic lactones. This research shows that the milk pharmacokinetics of clorsulon is affected by the coadministration of ABCG2 inhibitors, reducing drug persistence in milk.

Abstract
Clorsulon is a benzenesulfonamide drug that is effective in treating helminthic zoonoses such as fascioliasis. When used in combination with the macrocyclic lactone ivermectin, it provides high broad-spectrum antiparasitic efficacy. The safety and efficacy of clorsulon should be studied by considering several factors such as drug-drug interactions mediated by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters due to their potential effects on the pharmacokinetics and drug secretion into milk. The aim of this work was to determine the role of ABC transporter G2 (ABCG2) in clorsulon secretion into milk and the effect of ivermectin, a known ABCG2 inhibitor, on this process. Using in vitro transepithelial assays with cells transduced with murine Abcg2 and human ABCG2, we report that clorsulon was transported in vitro by both transporter variants and that ivermectin inhibited its transport mediated by murine Abcg2 and human ABCG2. Wild-type and Abcg2-/- lactating female mice were used to carry out in vivo assays. The milk concentration and the milk-to-plasma ratio were higher in wild-type mice than in Abcg2-/- mice after clorsulon administration, showing that clorsulon is actively secreted into milk by Abcg2. The interaction of ivermectin in this process was shown after the coadministration of clorsulon and ivermectin to wild-type and Abcg2-/- lactating female mice. Treatment with ivermectin had no effect on the plasma concentrations of clorsulon, but the milk concentrations and milk-to-plasma ratios of clorsulon decreased in comparison to those with treatment without ivermectin, only in wild-type animals. Consequently, the coadministration of clorsulon and ivermectin reduces clorsulon secretion into milk due to drug-drug interactions mediated by ABCG2.

Abstract
Cannabis is a complex mixture of hundreds of bioactive molecules. This provides the potential for pharmacological interactions between cannabis constituents, a phenomenon referred to as “the entourage effect” by the medicinal cannabis community. We hypothesize that pharmacokinetic interactions between cannabis constituents could substantially alter systemic cannabinoid concentrations. To address this hypothesis we compared pharmacokinetic parameters of cannabinoids administered orally in a cannabis extract to those administered as individual cannabinoids at equivalent doses in mice. Astonishingly, plasma cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) concentrations were 14-times higher following administration in the cannabis extract than when administered as a single molecule. In vitro transwell assays identified CBDA as a substrate of the drug efflux transporter breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), and that cannabigerol and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol inhibited the BCRP-mediated transport of CBDA. Such a cannabinoid-cannabinoid interaction at BCRP transporters located in the intestine would inhibit efflux of CBDA, thus resulting in increased plasma concentrations. Our results suggest that cannabis extracts provide a natural vehicle to substantially enhance plasma CBDA concentrations. Moreover, CBDA might have a more significant contribution to the pharmacological effects of orally administered cannabis extracts than previously thought.

Abstract
We analyzed the influence of calculated physicochemical properties of more than 20,000 compounds on their P-gp and BCRP mediated efflux, microsomal stability, hERG inhibition, and plasma protein binding. Our goal was to provide guidance for designing compounds with desired pharmacokinetic profiles. Our analysis showed that compounds with ClogP less than 3 and molecular weight less than 400 will have high microsomal stability and low plasma protein binding. Compounds with logD less than 2.2 and/or basic pKa larger than 5.3 are likely to be BCRP substrates and compounds with basic pKa less than 5.2 and/or acidic pKa less than 13.4 are less likely to inhibit hERG. Based on these results, compounds with MW < 400, ClogP < 3, basic pKa < 5.2 and acidic pKa < 13.4 are likely to have good bioavailability and low hERG inhibition.

Abstract
The combination of synthetic anthelmintics and bioactive phytochemicals may be a pharmacological tool for improving nematode control in livestock. Carvone (R-CNE) has shown in vitro activity against gastrointestinal nematodes; however, the anthelmintic effect of bioactive phytochemicals either alone or combined with synthetic drugs has been little explored in vivo. Here, the pharmacological interaction of abamectin (ABM) and R-CNE was assessed in vitro and in vivo. The efficacy of this combination was evaluated in lambs naturally infected with resistant gastrointestinal nematodes. Additionally, the ligand and molecular docking of both molecules to P-glycoprotein (P-gp) was studied in silico. The presence of R-CNE produced a significant (p < 0.05) increase of Rho123 and ABM accumulation in the intestinal explants. After 60 min of incubation, Rho123 incubated with R-CNE had a 67 ± 21% higher concentration (p < 0.01) than when it was incubated alone. In the case of ABM, a significant increase in the intestinal concentrations was observed at 15 and 30 min after incubation with R-CNE. In the in vivo assay, no undesirable effects were observed after the oral administration of R-CNE. The coadministration of the natural compound prolonged ABM absorption in lambs. ABM T½ absorption was 1.57-fold longer (p < 0.05) in the coadministered group. Concentrations of R-CNE between 420 and 2,593 ng/mL were detected in the bloodstream between 1 and 48 h posttreatment. The in vivo efficacy of ABM against gastrointestinal nematodes increased from 94.9 to 99.8% in the presence of R-CNE, with the lower confidence interval limit being >90%. In vitro/in vivo pharmacoparasitological studies are relevant for the knowledge of the interactions and the efficacy of bioactive natural products combined with synthetic anthelmintics. While ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity) predictions and the molecular docking study showed a good interaction between ABM and P-gp, R-CNE does not appear to modulate this efflux protein. Therefore, the pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic effect of R-CNE on ABM should be attributed to its effect on membrane permeability. The development of pharmacology-based information is critical for the design of successful strategies for the parasite control.

Abstract
Background Retinoblastoma (Rb) is one of the most common malignancies among children. Following early diagnosis and prompt treatment, the clinical outcome or prognosis of Rb is promising. However, the prognosis or survival rates of patients with late-stage Rb remain poor. Current therapeutic strategies for advanced Rb mainly involve the use of advanced chemotherapeutic options. However, the efficacy of these strategies is not satisfactory. Therefore, the development of novel strategies to achieve a more effective antitumor effect on late-stage Rb is of crucial importance. Methods and materials Topotecan was dissolved in phosphate-buffered saline and prepared into a temperature-sensitive phase-change hydrogel (termed Topo-Gel). Moreover, Topo-Gel was injected into tumor tissues formed by Y79 cells (an Rb cell line) in nude mice to examine the long-term release and long-acting antitumor effect of Topo-Gel on Rb tumors. Results Topo-Gel transforms from liquid to a hydrogel at near body temperatures (phase-change temperature [T1/2] was 37.23±0.473 °C), and maintains the slow release of topotecan in Rb tumor tissues. Following the subcutaneous injection of Topo-Gel, the treatment induced long-acting inhibition of tumor growth and relieved the adverse effects associated with topotecan. Topo-Gel, a temperature-sensitive phase-change hydrogel, is a slow-release system that prolongs the presence of topotecan in Rb tissues, and preserves the efficacy of topotecan in the long term. Conclusion Preparation of topotecan into a temperature-sensitive phase-change hydrogel achieves a long-term sustained antitumor effect on Rb cells, and may be a useful strategy for the treatment of intraocular Rb.

Abstract
Transporters P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) are known to influence the pharmacokinetics and toxicity of substrate drugs. However, no detailed information is as yet available about functional activity and substrate spectra of chicken P-gp and BCRP. In this study, BCRP single and BCRP/P-gp double-transfected MDCK cell lines (named MDCK-chAbcg2 and MDCK-chAbcg2/Abcb1, respectively) were generated using lentiviral vector system to develop reliable systems for screening the substrates for these two transporters and study the interplay between them. The constructed cell lines significantly expressed functional exogenous proteins and expression persisted for at least 50 generations with no decrease. Enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, tilmicosin, sulfadiazine, ampicillin and clindamycin were classified as the substrates of chicken P-gp according to the rules suggested by FDA, as their net efflux ratios were greater than two. Similarly, enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, tilmicosin, florfenicol, ampicillin and clindamycin were classified as the substrates of BCRP. Among these drugs, enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, tilmicosin, ampicillin, and clindamycin were the cosubstrates of P-gp and BCRP, however, chicken BCRP and P-gp exhibit different affinities to the shared substrates at different concentrations by blocking either one or both transport with specific inhibitors in the coexpression system. It was also found that ceftiofur, amoxicillin and doxycycline were not substrates of either chicken BCRP or the substrates of chicken P-gp. These constructed cell models provide useful systems for high-throughput screening of the potential substrates of chicken BCRP and P-gp as well as the drug-drug interaction mediated via chicken BCRP and P-gp.

Abstract
Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), a key drug efflux transporter, significantly affects the therapeutic efficacy of many drugs. Thus, screening specific BCRP inhibitors and distinguishing between substrates and non-substrates of BCRP are valuable in drug discovery and development. This study presents a novel BCRP biosensor based on intestinal 3D organoids for rapid and sensitive detection of BCRP function. First, the crypts were isolated from mouse small intestine, and cultured in advanced DMEM/F12 medium to develop intestinal 3D organoids. Second, immunohistochemical studies demonstrated that BCRP protein in the organoids presented a similar expression and physiologic position to the small intestinal epithelium. Finally, the cultured organoids were treated in BCRP fluorogenic probe substrate Hoechst 33342 with or without BCRP inhibitor Ko143 and YHO-13177. The fluorescence intensity of Hoechst 33342 released from inner of the organoids was detected by microplate reader and the concentrations were calculated. Ko143 and YHO-13177 significantly inhibited the BCRP-mediated Hoechst 33342 transport in the 3D organoids. Consequently, a rapid and efficient biosensor has been successfully established to study BCRP, especially screening BCRP inhibitors in a high-throughput way.

Abstract
1. Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) plays an important role in drug absorption, distribution and excretion. It is challenging to evaluate BCRP functions in preclinical models because commonly used BCRP inhibitors are nonspecific or unstable in animal plasma. 2. In this work, in vitro absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination (ADME) assays and pharmacokinetic (PK) experiments in Bcrp knockout (KO) (Abcg2-/-) and wild-type (WT) FVB mice and Wistar rats were conducted to characterize the preclinical properties of a novel selective BCRP inhibitor (ML753286, a Ko143 analog). 3. ML753286 is a potent inhibitor for BCRP, but not for P-glycoprotein (P-gp), organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) or major cytochrome P450s (CYPs). It has high permeability, but is not an efflux transporter substrate. ML753286 has low to medium clearance in rodent and human liver S9 fractions, and is stable in plasma cross species. Bcrp inhibition affects oral absorption and clearance of sulfasalazine in rodents. A single dose of ML753286 at 50-300 mg/kg orally, and at 20 mg/kg intravenously or 25 mg/kg orally inhibits Bcrp functions in mice and rats, respectively. 4. These findings confirm that ML753286 is a useful selective inhibitor to evaluate BCRP/Bcrp activity in vitro and in rodent model systems.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION For stratification of chemotherapeutic choices, radiopharmaceuticals capable of imaging breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2)-mediated functional transport are desired. To accomplish this objective, Galmydar, a fluorescent and moderately hydrophobic Ga(III) cationic complex and its (67/68)Ga-radiolabeled counterparts were interrogated in HEK293 cells stably transfected with BCRP and their WT counterparts transfected with empty vector. Additionally, the sensitivity and specificity of (68)Ga-Galmydar to evaluate functional expression of BCRP at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) was investigated in gene-knockout mdr1a/1b(-/-) (double knockout, dKO) and mdr1a/1b(-/-)ABCG2(-/-) (triple knockout, tKO) mouse models. METHODS For radiotracer uptake assays and live cell fluorescence imaging, either (67)Ga-Galmydar or its unlabeled counterpart was incubated in HEK293 cells transfected with BCRP (HEK293/BCRP) and their WT counterparts at 37°C under a continuous flux of CO2 (5%) in the presence or absence of Ko143, a potent BCRP antagonist, and cellular uptake was measured to assess the sensitivity of Galmydar to probe BCRP-mediated functional transport activity in cellulo. For assessing the potential of Galmydar to enable diagnostic imaging of targeted tissues in vivo, the (67)Ga-radiolabeled counterpart was incubated in either human serum albumin or human serum at 37°C and the percentage of unbound (67)Ga-Galmydar was determined. To evaluate the sensitivity of (68)Ga-Galmydar for molecular imaging of BCRP-mediated efflux activity in vivo, microPET/CT brain imaging was performed in dKO and tKO mice and their age-matched WT counterparts, 60min post-intravenous injection. RESULTS (67)Ga-Galmydar shows uptake profiles in HEK293 cells inversely proportional to BCRP expression, and antagonist (Ko143) induced accumulation in HEK293/BCRP cells, thus indicating target sensitivity and specificity. Furthermore, employing the fluorescent characteristics of Galmydar, optical imaging in HEK293/BCRP cells shows an excellent correlation with the radiotracer cellular accumulation data. (67)Ga-Galmydar shows > 85% unbound fraction and presence of parental compound in human serum. Finally, microPET/CT imaging shows higher retention of (68)Ga-Galmydar in brains of dKO and tKO mice compared to their age-matched WT counterparts, 60min post-intravenous tail-vein injection. CONCLUSIONS Combined data indicate that Galmydar could provide a template scaffold for development of a PET tracer for imaging BCRP-mediated functional transport activity in vivo.

Abstract
Although the multiplicity in transport proteins assessed during drug development is continuously increasing, the clinical relevance of the breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is still under debate. Here, our aim is to rationalize the need to consider BCRP substrate and inhibitor interactions and to define optimum selection and acceptance criteria between cell-based and vesicle-based assays in vitro. Information on the preclinical and clinical pharmacokinetics (PK), drug-drug interactions, and pharmacogenomics data was collated for 13 marketed drugs whose PK is reportedly associated with BCRP interaction. Clinical examples where BCRP impacts drug PK and efficacy appear to be rare and confounded by interactions with other transporters. Thirty-seven compounds were selected to be tested as BCRP substrates in a cell-based assay using MDCKII cells (Madin-Darby canine kidney cells) and 18 in membrane vesicles. Depending on the physicochemical compound properties, we observed both in vitro systems to give false-negative readouts. In addition, the inhibition potential of 19 compounds against BCRP was assessed in vesicles and in MDCKII cells, where we observed significant system and substrate-dependent IC50 values. Therefore, neither of the two test systems is superior to the other. Instead, one system may offer advantages under certain situations (e.g., low permeability) and thus should be selected based on the physicochemical compound properties. Finally, given the clinical relevance of BCRP, we propose that its evaluation should remain issue-driven: for low permeable, low bioavailable drugs, in particular when other more common processes do not allow a mechanistic understanding of any unexpected absorption or brain disposition, and for drugs with a low therapeutic window.

Abstract
This study aimed to test the antiproliferative effect of three benzimidazole anthelmintics in intestinal cancer cells and to investigate whether these drugs, which inhibit tubulin polymerization, can potentiate the efficacy of the microtubule-stabilizing drug paclitaxel (PTX). Four intestinal cancer cell lines, SW480, SW620, HCT8, and Caco2, with different origins and growth characteristics were used. The antiproliferative effect of albendazole (ABZ), ricobendazole (RBZ), flubendazole (FLU), and their combinations with PTX was tested using three different end-point viability assays, cell cycle distribution analysis, and the x-CELLigence System for real-time cell analysis. ABZ and FLU inhibited cell proliferation significantly in a concentration-dependent and time-dependent manner through cell arrest in the G2/M phase. RBZ was not effective at any concentration tested. The cell lines differed in sensitivity to FLU and ABZ, with HCT8 being the most sensitive, showing IC₅₀ values for ABZ and FLU that reached 0.3 and 0.9 μmol/l, respectively. Combinations of PTX+ABZ and PTX+FLU decreased cell viability more effectively when compared with treatment with individual drugs alone. The anthelmintic benzimidazole drugs ABZ and FLU show a significant cytostatic effect and potentiate the efficacy of PTX in intestinal cancer cells.

Abstract
The family of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters is composed of several transmembrane proteins that are involved in the efflux of a large number of drugs including ivermectin, a macrocyclic lactone (ML) endectocide, widely used in human and livestock antiparasitic therapy. The aim of the work reported here was to assess the interaction between three different anthelmintic drugs with substrates of the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and the breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). The ability of ivermectin (IVM), moxidectin (MOX) and closantel (CST) to modulate the intestinal transport of both rhodamine 123 (Rho 123), a P-gp substrate, and danofloxacin (DFX), a BCRP substrate, across rat ileum was studied by performing the Ussing chamber technique. Compared to the controls, Rho 123 efflux was significantly reduced by IVM (69%), CST (51%) and the positive control PSC833 (65%), whereas no significant differences were observed in the presence of MOX (30%). In addition, DFX efflux was reduced between 59% and 72% by all the assayed drug molecules, showing a higher potency than that observed in the presence of the specific BCRP inhibitor pantoprazole (PTZ) (52%). An ex vivo intestinal transport approach based on the diffusion chambers technique may offer a complementary tool to study potential drug interactions with efflux transporters such as P-gp and BCRP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer resistant protein has an essential role in active transport of endogenous substances and xenobiotics across extracellular and intracellular membranes along with P-glycoprotein. It also plays a major role in multiple drug resistance and permeation of blood-brain barrier. Therefore, it is of great importance to derive theoretical models to predict the inhibition of both transporters in the process of drug discovery and development. Hitherto, very limited BCRP inhibition predictive models have been proposed as compared with its P-gp counterpart. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS An in silico BCRP inhibition model was developed in this study using the pharmacophore ensemble/support vector machine scheme to take into account the promiscuous nature of BCRP. The predictions by the PhE/SVM model were found to be in good agreement with the observed values for those molecules in the training set (n= 22, r2 =0.82, qCV2=0.73, RMSE= 0.40, s = 0.24), test set (n =97, q2=0.75-0.89, RMSE= 0.31, s= 0.21), and outlier set (n= 16, q2 =0.72-0.91, RMSE= 0.29, s=0.17). When subjected to a variety of statistical validations, the developed PhE/SVM model consistently met the most stringent criteria. A mock test by HIV protease inhibitors also asserted its predictivity. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE It was found that this accurate, fast, and robust PhE/SVM model can be employed to predict the BCRP inhibition of structurally diverse molecules that otherwise cannot be carried out by any other methods in a high-throughput fashion to design therapeutic agents with insignificant drug toxicity and unfavorable drug-drug interactions mediated by BCRP to enhance clinical efficacy and/or circumvent drug resistance.

Abstract
Considering the increasing concern for the development of anthelmintic resistance, the use of pharmacology-based information is critical to design successful strategies for the future of parasite control in livestock. Integrated evaluation of the available knowledge on pharmacological features is required to optimize the activity and to achieve sustainable use of the existing anthelmintic drugs. The assessment of the drug disposition in the host and the comprehension of the mechanisms of drug influx/efflux/detoxification in different target helminths, has signified a relevant progress on the understanding of the pharmacology of anthelmintic drugs in ruminant species. However, additional scientific knowledge on how to improve the use of available and novel molecules is required to avoid/delay resistance development. Different pharmacokinetic-based approaches to enhance parasite exposure and the use of mixtures of drugs from different chemical families have been proposed as valid strategies to delay the development of anthelmintic resistance. The rationale behind using drug combinations is based on the fact that individual worms may have a lower degree of resistance to a multiple component formulation (each chemical with different mode of action/resistance) compared to that observed when a single anthelmintic is used. However, the limited available information is unclear on the potential additive or synergistic effects occurring after co-administration of two (or more) drugs with different mode of action. This review article contributes to the topic with some pharmacology-based data emerging from the assessment of combined anthelmintic preparations. The activity against multi-drug-resistant isolates based on novel modes of action is a highly favorable element to judge the future of some of the recently developed anthelmintic compounds. More specific knowledge on the basic host-parasite kinetic behavior as well as a highly responsible use of those novel compounds will be necessary to secure their maximum lifespans. Overall, the outcome from integrated pharmaco-parasitological research approaches has greatly contributed to optimize drug activity, which seems relevant to preserve existing and particularly novel active ingredients as useful tools for parasite control in livestock animals.

Abstract
ABCG2 is a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family of transporters, the overexpression of which has been implicated in resistance to various chemotherapeutic agents. Though a number of cell-based assays to screen for inhibitors have been reported, they do not provide a content-rich platform to discriminate toxic and autofluorescent compounds. To fill this gap, we developed a live high-content cell-based assay to identify inhibitors of ABCG2-mediated transport and, at the same time, assess their cytotoxic effect and potential optical interference. We used a pair of isogenic U87MG human glioblastoma cell lines, with one stably overexpressing the ABCG2 transporter. JC-1 (J-aggregate-forming lipophilic cation 5,5',6,6'-tetrachloro-1,1',3,3'-tetraethylbenzimidazol carbocyanine iodide) was selected as the optimal reporter substrate for ABCG2 activity, and the resulting assay was characterized by a Z' value of 0.50 and a signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of 14 in a pilot screen of ∼ 7,000 diverse chemicals. The screen led to the identification of 64 unique nontoxic positives, yielding an initial hit rate of 1%, with 58 of them being confirmed activity. In addition, treatment with two selected confirmed positives suppressed the side population of U87MG-ABCG2 cells that was able to efflux the Hoechst dye as measured by flow cytometry, confirming that they constitute potent new ABCG2 transporter inhibitors. Our results demonstrate that our live cell and content-rich platform enables the rapid identification and profiling of ABCG2 modulators, and this new strategy opens the door to the discovery of compounds targeting the expression and/or trafficking of ABC transporters as an alternative to functional inhibitors that failed in the clinic.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to elucidate the roles of P-glycoprotein (P-gp/ABCB1) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2) in the plasma concentration, biliary excretion, and distribution to the liver, kidney, and brain of sunitinib. The pharmacokinetics of sunitinib was examined in rats treated with PSC833 (valspodar) and pantoprazole, potent inhibitors of P-gp and BCRP, respectively. The sunitinib concentrations in plasma, bile, liver, kidney, and brain were determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. It was found that the area under the concentration-time curve for 4 hours (AUC0-4) and maximum concentration (Cmax) of sunitinib administered intraintestinally were significantly increased by pretreatment with PSC833 or pantoprazole. Each inhibitor markedly reduced the biliary excretion of sunitinib for 60 minutes after an intravenous administration and significantly increased the distribution of sunitinib to the liver as well as kidney. In addition, the brain distribution of sunitinib was significantly increased by PSC833 but not pantoprazole, and coadministration of both inhibitors further enhanced the accumulation of sunitinib in the brain. These results demonstrate that plasma concentrations of sunitinib and the biliary excretion and distribution to the kidney, liver, and brain of sunitinib are influenced by pharmacologic inhibition of P-gp and/or BCRP.

Abstract
Biophysical methods have become established in many areas of drug discovery. Application of these methods was once restricted to a relatively small number of scientists using specialized, low throughput technologies and methods. Now, automated high-throughput instruments are to be found in a growing number of laboratories. Many biophysical methods are capable of measuring the equilibrium binding constants between pairs of molecules crucial for molecular recognition processes, encompassing protein-protein, protein-small molecule, and protein-nucleic acid interactions, and several can be used to measure the kinetic or thermodynamic components controlling these biological processes. For a full characterization of a binding process, determinations of stoichiometry, binding mode, and any conformational changes associated with such interactions are also required. The suite of biophysical methods that are now available represents a powerful toolbox of techniques which can effectively deliver this full characterization.The aim of this chapter is to provide the reader with an overview of the drug discovery process and how biophysical methods, such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR), isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry (MS), and thermal unfolding methods can answer specific questions in order to influence project progression and outcomes. The selection of these examples is based upon the experiences of the authors at AstraZeneca, and relevant approaches are highlighted where they have utility in a particular drug discovery scenario.

Abstract
In this study we performed proteomic and transcriptional analyses to identify and characterize genes differentially expressed in Giardia duodenalis clones resistant to albendazole. The expression of proteins and their corresponding mRNAs was analyzed in clones resistant in vitro to different concentrations of albendazole (1.35, 8.0 and 250 μM) and these were compared with albendazole-sensitive clones using two approaches: (1) two-dimensional protein electrophoresis to analyze the proteome by the LC-MS/MS technique, and (2) semi-quantitative RT-PCR to assess the mRNA levels of proteins with the highest levels of differential expression .This strategy allowed the identification of eight proteins differentially expressed in albendazole resistant clones with roles in: (a) the cytoskeletal system (alpha 2-giardin and RanBP1), (b) the antioxidant metabolism (NADH oxidase) and (c) energy metabolism (triosephosphate isomerase, phosphoglycerate kinase and ornithine carbamoyltransferase). Gene expression analyses of these genes correlated well with the proteomics results. These observations suggest that resistance to albendazole in Giardia encompasses a complex response involving an altered expression of genes regulated at the transcriptional level that might have an important role in maintaining cell structural stability, coping with oxidative stress and adapting energy supply to a new metabolic status. These molecules are indeed promising targets for drug development.

Abstract
Renal xenobiotic transporters are important determinants of urinary secretion and reabsorption of chemicals. In addition to glomerular filtration, these processes are key to the overall renal clearance of a diverse array of drugs and toxins. Alterations in kidney transporter levels and function can influence the efficacy and toxicity of chemicals. Studies in experimental animals have revealed distinct patterns of renal transporter expression in response to sex hormones, pregnancy, and growth hormone. Likewise, a number of disease states including diabetes, obesity, and cholestasis alter the expression of kidney transporters. The goal of this review is to provide an overview of the major xenobiotic transporters expressed in the kidneys and an understanding of metabolic conditions and hormonal factors that regulate their expression and function.

Abstract
The aim of this project was to show elevated P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression decreasing bacterial association with LS174T human gastrointestinal cells, and that this effect could be reversed upon blocking functional P-gp efflux. Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Lactobacillus acidophilus and numerous strains of Escherichia coli, from commensal to enteropathogenic and enterohaemorrhagic strains (O157:H7) were fluorescently labelled and incubated on LS174T cultures either with or without P-gp amplification using rifampicin. PSC-833 was used as a potent functional P-gp blocking agent. Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas displayed the greatest association with the LS174T cells. Surprisingly, lactobacilli retained more fluorescence than enteropathogenic-E. coli in this system. Irrespective of attachment differences between the bacterial species, the increase in P-gp protein expression decreased bacterial fluorescence by 25-30%. This included the GFP-labelled E. coli, and enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (O157:H7). Blocking P-gp function through the co-administration of PSC-833 increased the amount of bacteria associated with P-gp expressing LS174T cells back to control levels. As most bacteria were affected to the same degree, irrespective of pathogenicity, it is unlikely that P-gp has a direct influence on adhesion of bacteria, and instead P-gp may be playing an indirect role by secreting a bank of endogenous factors or changing the local environment to one less suited to bacterial growth in general.

Abstract
The avermectins and milbemycins contain a common macrocyclic lactone (ML) ring, but are fermentation products of different organisms. The principal structural difference is that avermectins have sugar groups at C13 of the macrocyclic ring, whereas the milbemycins are protonated at C13. Moxidectin (MOX), belonging to the milbemycin family, has other differences, including a methoxime at C23. The avermectins and MOX have broad-spectrum activity against nematodes and arthropods. They have similar but not identical, spectral ranges of activity and some avermectins and MOX have diverse formulations for great user flexibility. The longer half-life of MOX and its safety profile, allow MOX to be used in long-acting formulations. Some important differences between MOX and avermectins in interaction with various invertebrate ligand-gated ion channels are known and could be the basis of different efficacy and safety profiles. Modelling of IVM interaction with glutamate-gated ion channels suggest different interactions will occur with MOX. Similarly, profound differences between MOX and the avermectins are seen in interactions with ABC transporters in mammals and nematodes. These differences are important for pharmacokinetics, toxicity in animals with defective transporter expression, and probable mechanisms of resistance. Resistance to the avermectins has become widespread in parasites of some hosts and MOX resistance also exists and is increasing. There is some degree of cross-resistance between the avermectins and MOX, but avermectin resistance and MOX resistance are not identical. In many cases when resistance to avermectins is noticed, MOX produces a higher efficacy and quite often is fully effective at recommended dose rates. These similarities and differences should be appreciated for optimal decisions about parasite control, delaying, managing or reversing resistances, and also for appropriate anthelmintic combination.

Abstract
Intestinal secretory movement of the fluoroquinolone antibiotic, ciprofloxacin, may limit its oral bioavailability. Active ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters such as breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) have been implicated in ciprofloxacin transport. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that BCRP alone mediates intestinal ciprofloxacin secretion. The involvement of ABC transport proteins in ciprofloxacin secretory flux was investigated with the combined use of transfected cell lines [bcrp1/BCRP-Madin-Darby canine kidney II (MDCKII) and multidrug resistance-related protein 4 (MRP4)-human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293] and human intestinal Caco-2 cells, combined with pharmacological inhibition using 3-(6-isobutyl-9-methoxy-1,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4,6, 7,12,12a-octahydropyrazino[1',2':1,6]pyrido[3,4-b]indol-3-yl)-propionic acid tert-butyl ester (Ko143), cyclosporine, 3-[[3-[2-(7-chloroquinolin-2-yl)vinyl]phenyl]-(2-dimethylcarbamoylethylsulfanyl)methylsulfanyl] propionic acid (MK571), and verapamil as ABC-selective inhibitors. In addition, the regional variation in secretory capacity was investigated using male Han Wistar rat intestine mounted in Ussing chambers, and the first indicative measurements of ciprofloxacin transport by ex vivo human jejunum were made. Active, Ko143-sensitive ciprofloxacin secretion was observed in bcrp1-MDCKII cell layers, but in low-passage (BCRP-expressing) Caco-2 cell layers only a 54% fraction was Ko143-sensitive. Ciprofloxacin accumulation was lower in MRP4-HEK293 cells than in the parent line, indicating that ciprofloxacin is also a substrate for this transporter. Ciprofloxacin secretion by Caco-2 cell layers was not inhibited by MK571. Secretory flux showed marked regional variability in the rat intestine, increasing from the duodenum to peak in the ileum. Ciprofloxacin secretion was present in human jejunum and was reduced by Ko143 but showed marked interindividual variability. Ciprofloxacin is a substrate for human and rodent BCRP. An additional pathway for ciprofloxacin secretion exists in Caco-2 cells, which is unlikely to be MRP(4)-mediated. BCRP is likely to be the dominant transport mechanism for ciprofloxacin efflux in both rat and human jejunum.

Abstract
Parasitic helminths cause significant disease in animals and humans. In the absence of alternative treatments, anthelmintics remain the principal agents for their control. Resistance extends to the most important class of anthelmintics, the macrocyclic lactone endectocides (MLs), such as ivermectin, and presents serious problems for the livestock industries and threatens to severely limit current parasite control strategies in humans. Understanding drug resistance is important for optimizing and monitoring control, and reducing further selection for resistance. Multidrug resistance (MDR) ABC transporters have been implicated in ML resistance and contribute to resistance to a number of other anthelmintics. MDR transporters, such as P-glycoproteins, are essential for many cellular processes that require the transport of substrates across cell membranes. Being overexpressed in response to chemotherapy in tumour cells and to ML-based treatment in nematodes, they lead to therapy failure by decreasing drug concentration at the target. Several anthelmintics are inhibitors of these efflux pumps and appropriate combinations can result in higher treatment efficacy against parasites and reversal of resistance. However, this needs to be balanced against possible increased toxicity to the host, or the components of the combination selecting on the same genes involved in the resistance. Increased efficacy could result from modifying anthelmintic pharmacokinetics in the host or by blocking parasite transporters involved in resistance. Combination of anthelmintics can be beneficial for delaying selection for resistance. However, it should be based on knowledge of resistance mechanisms and not simply on mode of action classes, and is best started before resistance has been selected to any member of the combination. Increasing knowledge of the MDR transporters involved in anthelmintic resistance in helminths will play an important role in allowing for the identification of markers to monitor the spread of resistance and to evaluate new tools and management practices aimed at delaying its spread.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, such as P-glycoprotein (Pgp, ABCB1), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP, ABCG2) and multidrug resistance-associated proteins (MRPs) are expressed in high concentrations at various physiological barriers (e.g. blood-brain barrier, blood-testis barrier, blood-tumor barrier), where they impede the tissue accumulation of various drugs by active efflux transport. Changes in ABC transporter expression and function are thought to be implicated in various diseases, such as cancer, epilepsy, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The availability of a non-invasive imaging method which allows for measuring ABC transporter function or expression in vivo would be of great clinical use in that it could facilitate the identification of those patients that would benefit from treatment with ABC transporter modulating drugs. To date three different kinds of imaging probes have been described to measure ABC transporters in vivo: i) radiolabelled transporter substrates ii) radiolabelled transporter inhibitors and iii) radiolabelled prodrugs which are enzymatically converted into transporter substrates in the organ of interest (e.g. brain). The design of new imaging probes to visualize efflux transporters is inter alia complicated by the overlapping substrate recognition pattern of different ABC transporter types. The present article will describe currently available ABC transporter radiotracers for positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and critically discuss strengths and limitations of individual probes and their potential clinical applications.

Abstract
Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is one of the key multi-drug resistance proteins, which significantly influences the therapeutic effects of many drugs, particularly anti-cancer drugs. Thus, distinguishing between substrates and non-substrates of BCRP is important not only for clinical use but also for drug discovery and development. In this study, a prediction model of the substrates and non-substrates of BCRP was developed using a modified support vector machine (SVM) method, namely GA-CG-SVM. The overall prediction accuracy of the established GA-CG-SVM model is 91.3% for the training set and 85.0% for an independent validation set. For comparison, two other machine learning methods, namely, C4.5 DT and k-NN, were also adopted to build prediction models. The results show that the GA-CG-SVM model is significantly superior to C4.5 DT and k-NN models in terms of the prediction accuracy. To sum up, the prediction model of BCRP substrates and non-substrates generated by the GA-CG-SVM method is sufficiently good and could be used as a screening tool for identifying the substrates and non-substrates of BCRP.

Abstract
Rivaroxaban, an oral, direct factor Xa inhibitor, has a dual mode of elimination in humans, with two-thirds metabolized by the liver and one-third renally excreted unchanged. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is known to be involved in the absorption, distribution, and excretion of drugs. To investigate whether rivaroxaban is a substrate of P-gp, the bidirectional flux of rivaroxaban across Caco-2, wild-type, and P-gp-overexpressing LLC-PK1 cells was investigated. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of rivaroxaban toward P-gp was determined. Rivaroxaban exhibited high permeability and polarized transport across Caco-2 cells. Rivaroxaban was shown to be a substrate for, but not an inhibitor of, P-gp. Of a set of potential P-gp inhibitors, ketoconazole and ritonavir, but not clarithromycin or erythromycin, inhibited P-gp-mediated transport of rivaroxaban, with half-maximal inhibitory concentration values in the range of therapeutic plasma concentrations. These findings are in line with observed area under the plasma concentration-time curve increases in clinical drug-drug interaction studies indicating a possible involvement of P-gp in the distribution and excretion of rivaroxaban. In vivo studies in wild-type and P-gp double-knockout mice demonstrated that the impact of P-gp alone on the pharmacokinetics of rivaroxaban is minor. However, in P-gp double-knockout mice, a slight increase in brain concentrations and decreased excretion into the gastrointestinal tract were observed compared with wild-type mice. These studies also demonstrated that brain penetration of rivaroxaban is fairly low. In addition to P-gp, a further transport protein might be involved in the secretion of rivaroxaban.

Abstract
Based on our initial results on the effects of several ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter inhibitors on rhodamine-123 efflux from A549, a human lung carcinoma, and MES-SA, a human uterine sarcoma cell line, the aim of this study was to identify the transporter responsible for this export. Export of two fluorescent dyes, rhodamine-123 and calcein, was investigated in both cell lines by testing five commonly used inhibitors of ABC transporters: verapamil, cyclosporin A, MK571, GF129018 and fumitremorgin C. A very high degree of correlation (R(2)=0.91-0.99) between results obtained in the two cell lines suggested that the same transporter was involved in the export of tested fluorescent substrates in both cell lines. Expression analysis and gene silencing techniques, as well as transport of additional substrate 5(6)-carboxy-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein (CDCF) on membrane vesicles revealed that the transporter was multidrug resistance related protein 2 (MRP2, ABCC2). Furthermore, it was found that the tested modulators showed very diverse effects on the export of three fluorescent substrates via MRP2, with some modulators being inhibitory in one, while having no effect or even stimulating the transport in the other fluorescent dye assay. Verapamil inhibited rhodamine-123, but stimulated CDCF transport and did not affect calcein export. GF129018 did not affect calcein and CDCF transport, but it inhibited rhodamine-123 transport. These results demonstrate the importance of studying various combinations of potential substrates and modulators of MRP2 in order to estimate possible drug-drug interactions in living organisms. In addition, A549 and MES-SA cells were shown to be good cell models for studying interactions of compounds with human MRP2.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
Evidence of sex-related differences on drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are markedly increasing. The aim of this study was to characterize the influence of gender on P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated drug intestinal transport using two ex-vivo methodological approaches.
Methods
To study the comparative tissue uptake of ivermectin, intestinal sacs (distal jejunum/ileum) of male and female Wistar rats were incubated with ivermectin (0.5 µm) (a P-gp substrate) in the presence or absence of PSC833 (10 µm) (a P-gp inhibitor). Additionally, sex-based differences in the bidirectional transport of Rhodamine 123 (Rho 123; 5 µm) incubated either alone or with PSC833 (10 µm) were examined in diffusion chambers.
Key findings
The ivermectin accumulation in the everted gut sacs was higher in female compared with male intestine. The presence of PSC833 increased ivermectin accumulation profiles both in male and female rats. However, a greater response to transport modulation was observed in male compared with female animals. Similar results were obtained for Rho 123, where a higher absorption was measured in the intestine of females. PSC833 decreased Rho 123 intestinal secretion in animals of both sexes with a greater inhibition in male.
Conclusions
Substantial sex-related differences were observed on the ivermectin and Rho 123 active intestinal transport. Likewise, the PSC833-mediated modulation had a differential impact between male and female animals. Further work is needed to clarify the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon, which may have considerable pharmacological and clinical relevance.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp/ABCB1) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2) combination knockout mice display disproportionately increased brain penetration of shared substrates, including topotecan and several tyrosine kinase inhibitors, compared to mice deficient for only one transporter. To better study the interplay of both transporters also in vitro, we generated a transduced polarized MDCKII cell line stably coexpressing substantial levels of human ABCB1 and ABCG2 (MDCKII-ABCB1/ABCG2). Next, we measured concentration-dependent transepithelial transport of topotecan, sorafenib and sunitinib. By blocking either one or both of the transporters simultaneously, using specific inhibitors, we aimed to mimic the ABCB1-ABCG2 interplay at the blood-brain barrier in wild-type, single or combination knockout mice. ABCB1 and ABCG2 contributed to similar extents to topotecan transport, which was only partly saturable. For sorafenib transport, ABCG2 was the major determinant at low concentrations. However, saturation of ABCG2-mediated transport occurred at higher sorafenib concentrations, where ABCB1 was still fully active. Furthermore, sunitinib was transported equally by ABCB1 and ABCG2 at low concentrations, but ABCG2-mediated transport became saturated at lower concentrations than ABCB1-mediated transport. The relative impact of these transporters can thus be affected by the applied drug concentrations. A comparison of the in vitro observed (inverse) transport ratios and cellular accumulation of the drugs at low concentrations with in vivo brain penetration data from corresponding Abcb1a/1b⁻/⁻, Abcg2⁻/⁻ and Abcb1a/1b;Abcg2⁻/⁻ mouse strains revealed very similar qualitative patterns for each of the tested drugs. MDCKII-ABCB1/ABCG2 cells thus present a useful in vitro model to study the interplay of ABCB1 and ABCG2.

Abstract
Endothelial tight junctions and efflux transporters of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) significantly limit brain accumulation of many drugs, including protease inhibitors such as saquinavir. The cholinergic agonist nicotine is one of the most commonly used drugs in the world and the incidence is even higher in the human immune deficiency virus population (∼ 70%). We examined the ability of nicotine and its primary metabolite cotinine to modify brain uptake of saquinavir in rats. Both nicotine and cotinine at pharmacological concentrations matching those in smokers, increased brain saquinavir uptake by two fold. Co-perfusion with nicotinic receptor antagonists and passive permeability markers showed that the effect was not caused by receptor activation or BBB permeability disruption. Transport inhibition studies demonstrated that brain saquinavir uptake is limited by multiple efflux transporters, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein and multidrug resistance-associated protein. In situ perfusion and in vitro experiments using a classical P-gp substrate rhodamine 123 linked the effect of nicotine to inhibition of BBB P-gp transport. The effect was confirmed in vivo in chronic 14 day nicotine administration animals. These data suggest nicotine increases antiretroviral drug exposure to brain and may represent a significant in vivo drug-drug interaction at the BBB. Although this may slightly benefit CNS antiretroviral efficacy, it may also expose the brain to potential serious neurotoxicity.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine in vivo inhibition by the isoflavones genistein and daidzein of nitrofurantoin (NTF), a well-known substrate of the ABC transporter BCRP/ABCG2. METHODS MDCKII cells and their human BCRP- and murine Bcrp1-transduced subclones were used to establish inhibition in transepithelial transport assays. Bcrp1(-/-) and wild-type mice were coadministered with nitrofurantoin (20 mg/kg) and a mixture of genistein (100 mg/kg) and daidzein (100 mg/kg). RESULTS Transepithelial NFT transport was inhibited by the isoflavones. Plasma concentration of NTF at 30 min was 1.7-fold higher (p ≤ 0.05) in wild-type mice after isoflavone administration. AUC values were not significantly different. BCRP/ABCG2-mediated secretion into milk was inhibited since milk/plasma ratios were lower in wild-type mice with isoflavones (7.1 ± 4.2 vs 4.2 ± 1.6, p ≤ 0.05). NTF bile levels were significantly decreased by isoflavone administration in wild-type animals (8.8 ± 3.4 μg/ml with isoflavones vs 3.7 ± 3.3 μg/ml without isoflavones). CONCLUSION Our data showed that in vivo interaction of high doses of soy isoflavones with BCRP substrates may affect plasma levels but the main effect occurs in specific target organs, in our case, liver and mammary glands.

Abstract
Macrocyclic lactones (MLs) are lipophilic anthelmintics and substrates for P-glycoprotein (P-gp), an ATP-binding cassette transporter involved in drug efflux out of both host and parasites. To evaluate the contribution of P-gp to the in vivo kinetic disposition of MLs, the plasma kinetics, brain concentration, and intestinal excretion of three structurally different MLs (ivermectin, eprinomectin, and moxidectin) were compared in wild-type and P-gp-deficient [mdr1ab(-/-)] mice. Each drug (0.2 mg/kg) was administered orally, intravenously, or subcutaneously to the mice. Plasma, brain, and intestinal tissue concentrations were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. The intestinal excretion rate after intravenous administration was determined at different levels of the small intestine by using an in situ intestinal perfusion model. P-gp deficiency led to a significant increase in the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of ivermectin (1.5-fold) and eprinomectin (3.3-fold), whereas the moxidectin AUC was unchanged. Ivermectin and to a greater extent eprinomectin were both excreted by the intestine via a P-gp-dependent pathway, whereas moxidectin excretion was weaker and mostly P-gp-independent. The three drugs accumulated in the brains of the mdr1ab(-/-) mice, but eprinomectin concentrations were significantly lower. We concluded that eprinomectin disposition in mice is controlled mainly by P-gp efflux, more so than that of ivermectin, whereas moxidectin disposition appears to be mostly P-gp-independent. Given that eprinomectin and ivermectin have higher affinity for P-gp than moxidectin, these findings demonstrated that the relative affinity of MLs for P-gp could be predictive of the in vivo kinetic behavior of these drugs.
