Abstract
In renal proximal tubule cells, the organic anion transporters 1 and 3 (OAT1 and OAT3) in the basolateral membrane and the multidrug resistance-associated protein 4 (MRP4) in the apical membrane share substrates and co-operate in renal drug secretion. We hypothesized that recently identified MRP4 inhibitors dantrolene, glafenine, nalidixic acid, and prazosin also interact with human OAT1 and/or OAT3 stably transfected in human embryonic kidney 293 cells. These four drugs were tested as possible inhibitors of p-[3H]aminohippurate (PAH) and [14C]glutarate uptake by OAT1, and of [3H]estrone-3-sulfate (ES) uptake by OAT3. In addition, we explored whether these drugs decrease the equilibrium distribution of radiolabeled PAH, glutarate, or ES, an approach intended to indirectly suggest drug/substrate exchange through OAT1 and OAT3. With OAT3, a dose-dependent inhibition of [3H]ES uptake and a downward shift in [3H]ES equilibrium were observed, indicating that all four drugs bind to OAT3 and may possibly be translocated. In contrast, the interaction with OAT1 was more complex. With [14C]glutarate as substrate, all four drugs inhibited uptake but only glafenine and nalidixic acid shifted glutarate equilibrium. Using [3H]PAH as a substrate of OAT1, nalidixic acid inhibited but dantrolene, glafenine, and prazosin stimulated uptake. Nalidixic acid decreased equilibrium content of [3H]PAH, suggesting that it may possibly be exchanged by OAT1. Taken together, OAT1 and OAT3 interact with the MRP4 inhibitors dantrolene, glafenine, nalidixic acid, and prazosin, indicating overlapping specificities. At OAT1, more than one binding site must be assumed to explain substrate and drug-dependent stimulation and inhibition of transport activity.

Abstract
Glafenine (Privadol; 2,3-dihydroxypropyl 2-[(7-chloro-4-quinolinyl) amino]benzoate) is a non-narcotic analgesic agent widely used for the treatment of pains of various origins. Severe liver toxicity and a high incidence of anaphylaxis were reported in patients treated with glafenine, eventually leading to its withdrawal from the market in most countries. It is proposed that bioactivation of glafenine and subsequent binding of reactive metabolite(s) to critical cellular proteins play a causative role. The study described herein aimed at characterizing pathways of glafenine bioactivation and the metabolic enzymes involved. Two GSH conjugates of glafenine were detected in human liver microsomal incubations using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The structures of detected conjugates were determined as GSH adducts of 5-hydroxyglafenine (M3) and 5-hydroxy glafenic acid (M4), respectively. GSH conjugation took place with a strong preference at C6 of the benzene ring of glafenine, ortho to the carbonyl moiety. These findings are consistent with a bioactivation sequence involving initial cytochrome P450-catalyzed 5-hydroxylation of the benzene ring of glafenine, followed by two electron oxidations of M3 and M4 to form corresponding para-quinone imine intermediates that react with GSH to form GSH adducts M1 and M2, respectively. Formation of M1 and M2 was primarily catalyzed by heterologously expressed recombinant CYP3A4 and to a lesser extent, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6. We demonstrated that M3 can also be bioactivated by peroxidases, such as horseradish peroxidase and myeloperoxidase. In summary, these findings have significance in understanding the bioactivation pathways of glafenine and their potential link to mechanisms of toxicity of glafenine.

Abstract
Diacerein is a drug for the treatment of patients with osteoarthritis. This drug is administered orally as 50 mg twice daily. Diacerein is entirely converted into rhein before reaching the systemic circulation. Rhein itself is either eliminated by the renal route (20%) or conjugated in the liver to rhein glucuronide (60%) and rhein sulfate (20%); these metabolites are mainly eliminated by the kidney. The pharmacokinetics characteristics of diacerein are about the same in young healthy volunteers and elderly people with normal renal function, both after a single dose (50 mg) or repeated doses (25 to 75 mg twice daily). Rhein kinetics after single oral doses of diacerein are linear in the range 50 to 200 mg. However, rhein kinetics are time-dependent, since the nonrenal clearance decreases with repeated doses. This results in a moderate increase in maximum plasma concentration, area under the plasma concentration-time curve and elimination half-life. Nevertheless, the steady-state is reached by the third administration and the mean elimination half-life is then around 7 to 8 hours. Taking diacerein with a standard meal delays systemic absorption, but is associated with a 25% increase in the amount absorbed. Mild-to-severe (Child Pugh's grade B to C) liver cirrhosis does not change the kinetics of diacerein, whereas mild-to-severe renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance < 2.4 L/h) is followed by accumulation of rhein which justifies a 50% reduction of the standard daily dosage. Rhein is highly bound to plasma proteins (about 99%), but this binding is not saturable so that no drug interactions are likely to occur, in contrast to those widely reported with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Except for moderate and transient digestive disturbances (soft stools, diarrhoea), diacerein is well tolerated and seems neither responsible for gastrointestinal bleeding nor for renal, liver or haematological toxicity.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of diacerein following a single oral dose of 50 mg was studied in 12 healthy volunteers, 10 patients with a mild liver cirrhosis (Child Pugh's grade A), and 6 patients with a more severe liver cirrhosis (Child Pugh's grade B to C). Statistical analysis using a Kruskal-Wallis test showed no significant differences between the three groups for the following parameters: median Cmax was 3.9 mg l-1 for the cirrhotic patients group I (CPI) and 3.2 mg l-1 for the cirrhotic patients group II (CPII) versus 3.2 mg l-1 for the healthy volunteers (HV); median t1/2 was 4.9 h for CPI and 4.3 h for CPII versus 4.3 h for HV; median Cl/F was 2.1 l h-1 for CPI and 2.5 l h-1 for CPII versus 1.6 l h-1 for HV; median Vdss/F was 12.6 l for CPI and 14.0 l for CPII versus 13.21 for HV. The urinary parameters were comparable. It was concluded that, from a pharmacokinetic point of view, no reduction in the initial dosage of diacerein need be proposed in liver cirrhosis.
