Predicting disruptions to drug pharmacokinetics and the risk of adverse drug reactions in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis patients. Acta Pharm Sin B 2023; 13:1-28. [PMID: 36815037 PMCID: PMC9939324 DOI: 10.1016/j.apsb.2022.08.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2022] [Revised: 07/29/2022] [Accepted: 08/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
The liver plays a central role in the pharmacokinetics of drugs through drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) causes disease-specific alterations to the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) processes, including a decrease in protein expression of basolateral uptake transporters, an increase in efflux transporters, and modifications to enzyme activity. This can result in increased drug exposure and adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Our goal was to predict drugs that pose increased risks for ADRs in NASH patients. Bibliographic research identified 71 drugs with reported ADRs in patients with liver disease, mainly non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), 54 of which are known substrates of transporters and/or metabolizing enzymes. Since NASH is the progressive form of NAFLD but is most frequently undiagnosed, we identified other drugs at risk based on NASH-specific alterations to ADME processes. Here, we present another list of 71 drugs at risk of pharmacokinetic disruption in NASH, based on their transport and/or metabolism processes. It encompasses drugs from various pharmacological classes for which ADRs may occur when used in NASH patients, especially when eliminated through multiple pathways altered by the disease. Therefore, these results may inform clinicians regarding the selection of drugs for use in NASH patients.

Sinusoidal Organic Anion-Transporting Polypeptide 1B1/1B3 and Bile Canalicular Multidrug Resistance-Associated Protein 2 Play an Essential Role in the Hepatobiliary Disposition of a Synthetic Cyclic Dinucleotide (STING Agonist). AAPS J 2022; 24:99.

Abstract
The liver is central to the elimination of many drugs from the body involving multiple processes and understanding of these processes is important to quantitively assess hepatic clearance of drugs. The synthetic STING (STimulator of INterferon Genes protein) agonist is a new class of drugs currently being evaluated in clinical trials as a potential anticancer therapy. In this study, we used ML00960317 (synthetic STING agonist) to investigate the hepatobiliary disposition of this novel molecular entity. A bile-duct cannulated (BDC) rat study indicated that biliary excretion is the major route of elimination for ML00960317 (84% of parent dose in bile). The human biliary clearance using in vitro sandwich cultured human hepatocyte model predicted significant biliary excretion of ML00960317 (biliary excretion index (BEI) of 47%). Moreover, the transport studies using transporter expressing cell lines, hepatocytes, and membrane vesicles indicated that ML00960317 is a robust substrate of OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and MRP2. Using relative expression factor approach, the combined contribution of OATP1B1 (fraction transported (ft) = 0.62) and OATP1B3 (ft = 0.31) was found to be 93% of the active uptake clearance of ML00960317 into the liver. Furthermore, OATP1B1 and OATP1B3-mediated uptake of ML00960317 was inhibited by rifampicin with IC50 of 6.5 and 2.3 μM, respectively indicating an in vivo DDI risk (R value of 1.5 and 2.5 for OATP1B1 and OATP1B3, respectively). These results highlighted an important role of OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and MRP2 in the hepatobiliary disposition of ML00960317. These pathways may act as rate-determining steps in the hepatic clearance of ML00960317 thus presenting clinical DDI risk.

Abstract
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters play a critical role in protecting vital organs such as the brain and placenta against xenobiotics, as well as in modulating the pharmacological and toxicological profile of several drug candidates by restricting their penetration through cellular and tissue barriers. This review paper provides a description of the structure and function of ABC transporters as well as the role of P-glycoprotein, multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 and breast cancer resistance protein in the disposition of drugs. Furthermore, a review of the in vitro and in vivo techniques for evaluating the interaction between drugs and ABC transporters are provided.

Abstract
Antihistamines, especially H1 antihistamines, are widely used in the treatment of allergic diseases such as urticaria and allergic rhinitis, mainly for reversing elevated histamine and anti-allergic effects. Antihistamines are generally safe, but some patients experience adverse reactions, such as cardiotoxicity, central inhibition, and anticholinergic effects. There are also individual differences in antihistamine efficacy in clinical practice. The concept of individualized medicine has been deeply rooted in people's minds since it was put forward. Pharmacogenomics is the study of the role of inheritance in individual variations in drug response. In recent decades, pharmacogenomics has been developing rapidly, which provides new ideas for individualized medicine. Polymorphisms in the genes encoding metabolic enzymes, transporters, and target receptors have been shown to affect the efficacy of antihistamines. In addition, recent evidence suggests that gene polymorphisms influence urticaria susceptibility and antihistamine therapy. Here, we summarize current reports in this area, aiming to contribute to future research in antihistamines and clinical guidance for antihistamines use in individualized medicine.

Abstract
Understanding transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions (DDIs) for investigational agents is important during drug development to assess DDI liability, its clinical relevance, and to determine appropriate DDI management strategies. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an efflux transporter that influences the pharmacokinetics (PK) of various compounds. Assessing transporter induction in vitro is challenging and is not always predictive of in vivo effects, and hence there is a need to consider clinical DDI studies; however, there is no clear guidance on when clinical evaluation of transporter induction is required. Furthermore, there is no proposed list of index transporter inducers to be used in clinical studies. This review evaluated DDI studies with known P-gp inducers to better understand the mechanism and site of P-gp induction, as well as the magnitude of induction effect on the exposure of P-gp substrates. Our review indicates that P-gp and cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes are co-regulated via the pregnane xenobiotic receptor (PXR) and the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR). The magnitude of the decrease in substrate drug exposure by P-gp induction is generally less than that of CYP3A. Most P-gp inducers reduced total bioavailability with a minor impact on renal clearance, despite known expression of P-gp at the apical membrane of the kidney proximal tubules. Rifampin is the most potent P-gp inducer, resulting in an average reduction in substrate exposure ranging between 20 and 67%. For other inducers, the reduction in P-gp substrate exposure ranged from 12 to 42%. A lower reduction in exposure of the P-gp substrate was observed with a lower dose of the inducer and/or if the administration of the inducer and substrate was simultaneous, i.e. not staggered. These findings suggest that clinical evaluation of the impact of P-gp inducers on the PK of investigational agents that are substrates for P-gp might be warranted only for compounds with a relatively steep exposure-efficacy relationship.

Abstract
In clinical pharmacology, the free drug hypothesis has been widely applied in the interpretation of the relationship between pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD). The free drug hypothesis assumes that the unbound drug concentration in blood is the same as that in the site of action at steady state. The objective of this study is to demonstrate whether the free drug hypothesis is universally applicable for all drugs. The unbound concentrations of the 18 compounds in blood and in brain interstitial fluids (ISF) at steady state following constant intravenous infusion were simultaneously monitored up to 6 hours via in vivo microdialysis technique. Based on the permeability and efflux ratio (ER), the test compounds can be divided into two classes. Class I includes the compounds with good membrane permeability that are not substrates of efflux transporters (eg, P-gp, BCRP, and MRPs), whereas Class II includes the compounds that are substrates of efflux transporters. The steady-state unbound drug concentrations in blood, brain, and CSF are quantitatively very similar for Class I compounds, whereas the steady-state unbound concentrations in the brain and CSF are significantly lower than those in blood for Class II compounds. These results strongly suggest that the free drug hypothesis is not universal for all drugs but is only applicable for drugs with good permeability that are not substrates of efflux transporters.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) draft guidance on pharmacokinetic drugdrug interactions (DDIs) has highlighted the clinical importance of ABC transporters B1 or P-glycoprotein (P-gp), hepatic organic anion-transporting polypeptide transporters and breast cancer resistant protein because of their broad substrate specificity and the potential to be involved in DDIs. This guidance has indicated that digoxin, dabigatran etexilate and fexofenadine are P-gp substrate drugs and has defined P-gp inhibitors as those that increase the AUC of digoxin by ≧1.25-fold in clinical DDI studies. However, when substrate drugs of both CYPs and P-gp are involved in DDIs, it remains that the mechanisms of DDIs will be quite ambiguous in assessing how much the CYPs and/or drug transporters partially contribute to DDIs. OBJECTIVE Since there are no detailed manuscripts that summarizes P-gp interactions unrelated to CYP metabolism, this article reviews the effects of potent P-gp inhibitors and P-gp inducers on the pharmacokinetics of P-gp substrate drugs, including digoxin, talinolol, dabigatran etexilate, and fexofenadine in human studies. In addition, the present outcome were to determine the PK changes caused by DDIs among P-gp substrate drugs without CYP metabolism in human DDI studies. CONCLUSION Our manuscript concludes that the PK changes of the DDIs among P-gp drugs unrelated to CYP metabolism are less likely to be serious, and it appears to be convincing that the absences of clinical effects caused to the PK changes by the P-gp inducers is predominant compared with the excessive effects caused to those by the P-gp inhibitors.

Abstract
Osimertinib is a potent, third-generation, irreversible, central nervous system active epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that selectively inhibits EGFR-TKI sensitizing and EGFR T790M resistance mutations. It is approved for first-line treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations, and for patients with T790M-positive advanced NSCLC whose disease has progressed on or after EGFR-TKI therapy. This study investigated the pharmacokinetics (PK) of fexofenadine (P-glycoprotein substrate) following single- and multiple-dose osimertinib in patients with advanced NSCLC who have progressed on prior EGFR-TKI therapy. This open-label, phase 1 study (NCT02908750) comprised the PK phase and continued access phase. The former comprised 2 distinct periods with a 3- to 7-day washout: treatment period 1 (n = 24, fexofenadine 120 mg, day 1) and treatment period 2 (fexofenadine 120 mg + osimertinib 80 mg single dose on days 1 and 39 and osimertinib 80 mg once daily from days 4 to 41). Patients could continue osimertinib 80 mg once daily based on investigator's discretion in the continued access phase. Fexofenadine area under the plasma concentration-time curve and maximum concentration increased by 56% (90% confidence interval [CI], 35.4-78.6) and 76% (90%CI, 49.3-108.3) following coadministration with osimertinib single dose, and by 27% (90%CI, 11.2-45.8) and 25% (90%CI, 5.6-48.1) when given with osimertinib at steady state, respectively. Following osimertinib coadministration, median fexofenadine time to maximum concentration increased by approximately 30 minutes compared with time to maximum concentration following fexofenadine alone. No new osimertinib safety findings were observed. The increase in fexofenadine exposure following osimertinib coadministration shows osimertinib as a weak P-glycoprotein inhibitor.

Abstract
Thirty-two Collies were used to determine the impact of ABCB1 genotype and phenotype on the plasma pharmacokinetics of fexofenadine's (Fex) R- and S-enantiomers after bolus Fex administration, as human P-gp exhibits stereoselectivity. Each Collie's ABCB1 genotype and ivermectin (IVM) sensitivity (phenotype) was determined prior to study enrolment. Wild-type (WT) Collies had lower plasma concentrations of the individual enantiomers as compared to heterozygous IVM nonsensitive (HNS), heterozygous IVM-sensitive (HS) and homozygous mutant (MUT) Collies. Based on pairwise statistical comparison, WT Collies had statistically significantly lower (AUC0-last ) and peak (Cmax ) values compared to HS, HNS and MUT Collies. Tmax was not influenced by genotype/phenotype. Inter-individual variability in PK metrics tended to be largest for WT Collies. Although the influence of genotype/phenotype on Fex PK occurred with the individual isomers, impairment of S-Fex absorption, particularly in the MUT dogs, exceeded that associated with R-Fex. Since Fex elimination occurs primarily via biliary excretion via a transporter other than P-glycoprotein, and based upon our understanding of Fex absorption kinetics, we attributed these differences primarily to the absorption portion of the profile. These differences are expressed in a stereo-specific manner. These results demonstrate the potential negative impact on estimates of drug effectiveness and toxicity, especially for P-gp substrates that do not exhibit Central Nervous System toxicities.

Abstract
The historical phasing concept of drug metabolism and elimination was introduced to comprise the two phases of metabolism: phase I metabolism for oxidations, reductions and hydrolyses, and phase II metabolism for synthesis. With this concept, biological membrane barriers obstructing the accessibility of metabolism sites in the cells for drugs were not considered. The concept of two phases was extended to a concept of four phases when drug transporters were detected that guided drugs and drug metabolites in and out of the cells. In particular, water soluble or charged drugs are virtually not able to overcome the phospholipid membrane barrier. Drug transporters belong to two main clusters of transporter families: the solute carrier (SLC) families and the ATP binding cassette (ABC) carriers. The ABC transporters comprise seven families with about 20 carriers involved in drug transport. All of them operate as pumps at the expense of ATP splitting. Embedded in the former phase concept, the term "phase III" was introduced by Ishikawa in 1992 for drug export by ABC efflux pumps. SLC comprise 52 families, from which many carriers are drug uptake transporters. Later on, this uptake process was referred to as the "phase 0 transport" of drugs. Transporters for xenobiotics in man and animal are most expressed in liver, but they are also present in extra-hepatic tissues such as in the kidney, the adrenal gland and lung. This review deals with the function of drug carriers in various organs and their impact on drug metabolism and elimination.

Abstract
Freshly isolated hepatocytes are considered the gold standard for in vitro studies of hepatic drug disposition. To ensure a reliable supply of cells, cryopreserved human hepatocytes are often used. ABC-superfamily drug efflux transporters are key elements in hepatic drug disposition. These transporters are often considered lost after isolation of hepatocytes. In the present study, the expression and activity of ABC transporters BCRP, BSEP, P-gp, MRP2, MRP3, and MRP4 in human and rat cryopreserved hepatocytes were investigated. In commercially available human cryopreserved hepatocytes, all drug efflux transporters except human BCRP (hBCRP) exhibited similar expression levels as in fresh liver biopsies. Expression levels of hBCRP were 60% lower in cryopreserved human hepatocytes than in liver tissue, which could lead to, at most, a 2.5-fold reduction in hBCRP-mediated efflux. Fresh rat hepatocytes showed significantly lower levels of rat BCRP compared with liver expression levels; expression levels of other ABC transporters were unchanged. ABC transporters in human cryopreserved cells were localized to the plasma membrane. Functional studies could demonstrate P-gp and BCRP activity in both human cryopreserved and fresh rat hepatocytes. Inhibiting P-gp-mediated efflux by elacridar in in vitro experiments significantly decreased fexofenadine efflux from hepatocytes, resulting in an increase in apparent fexofenadine uptake. The results from the present study clearly indicate that ABC transporter-mediated efflux in freshly isolated as well as cryopreserved rat and human hepatocytes should be taken into account in in vitro experiments used for modeling of drug metabolism and disposition.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE This study was designed to prospectively evaluate the in vivo activities of drug transporters, metabolizing enzymes, and pharmacokinetics in patients with chronic kidney diseases (CKD) caused by glomerulonephritis and nonglomerular etiologies. DESIGN A prospective study design. PARTICIPANTS Eighteen adults with CKD. SETTING General Clinical Research Center at the University of North Carolina and University of Pittsburgh. MEASUREMENT AND MAIN RESULTS Blood and urine were collected and assayed for fexofenadine (transporter function) as well as flurbiprofen and 4-hydroxyflurbiprofen (CYP2C9 function). CYP3A4 activity was assessed by the erythromycin breath test. In patients with glomerulonephritis, the apparent oral clearance of fexofenadine (representing transporter activity) was 58.8 ± 34.4 L/hour, documenting a 40% reduction compared with previous data in healthy controls. The CYP2C9 pathway (4-hydroxyflurbiprofen formation clearance) was similar in all the patients with CKD and was concordant with previous reports of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and healthy controls. For flurbiprofen, patients with glomerulonephritis had higher oral clearance than those with nonglomerular CKD, suggesting higher unbound fraction and enhanced metabolism through other (non-CYP2C9) routes. No statistically significant differences in CYP3A4 activity were observed in either group of patients or when compared with results from previous studies of patients with ESRD or healthy controls. CONCLUSIONS The current study suggests no statistically significant differences in the in vivo activity of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 in patients with either glomerulonephritis or nonglomerular CKD. However, there are clinical differences in transporter function as defined by at least a 25% reduction in activity in glomerulonephritis as opposed to healthy controls. A similarity in the in vivo function between patients with glomerulonephritis and ESRD, and between patients with glomerulonephritis and nonglomerular CKD was present despite significant differences in kidney function. Further in vivo and in vitro studies are necessary to fully understand the physiologic and disease-specific nuances that contribute to alterations in drug disposition in patients with kidney diseases.

Abstract
Ritonavir dramatically increases the bioavailability of a variety of concurrently administered drugs by inhibition of metabolic enzymes and drug transporters. The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent to which ritonavir's inhibition of drug transporters and/or CYP3A contributes to the increased oral bioavailability in mice. The area under the plasma concentration-time curves (AUC) for orally administered saquinavir after coadministration with 50 mg/kg ritonavir dramatically increased (325-fold). As a result, the bioavailability, Fa·Fg and Fh increased 75-, 38- and twofold, respectively. In addition, the increase in the AUC predicted from the in vitro Ki value was ninefold, which was derived from the inhibition of metabolic enzymes by ritonavir in the liver. The remaining 36-fold increase in the AUC was considered to be derived from the inhibition in the small intestine. The AUCinf for probe substrate midazolam, fexofenadine, and pravastatin increased after the oral administration of ritonavir by only five-, 13-, and sevenfold, respectively. Moreover, the AUC0-12 for saquinavir was affected negligibly by itraconazole. These results indicate ritonavir mainly affects the first-pass effect of saquinavir in the small intestine, increasing the bioavailability of orally administered saquinavir. Furthermore, cyp isoforms other than CYP3A, which contribute to the metabolism of saquinavir in humans, are involved in the metabolism of saquinavir in mice.

Abstract
The multidrug resistance protein (MRP) 2 is predominantly expressed in liver, intestine, and kidney, where it plays an important role in the excretion of a range of drugs and their metabolites or endogenous compounds into bile, feces, and urine. Mrp knockout [Mrp2(-/-)] mice have been used recently to study the role of MRP2 in drug disposition. Here, we describe the first generation and initial characterization of a mouse line humanized for MRP2 (huMRP2), which is nulled for the mouse Mrp2 gene and expresses the human transporter in the organs and cell types where MRP2 is normally expressed. Analysis of the mRNA expression for selected cytochrome P450 and transporter genes revealed no major changes in huMRP2 mice compared with wild-type controls. We show that human MRP2 is able to compensate functionally for the loss of the mouse transporter as demonstrated by comparable bilirubin levels in the humanized mice and wild-type controls, in contrast to the hyperbilirubinemia phenotype that is observed in MRP2(-/-) mice. The huMRP2 mouse provides a model to study the role of the human transporter in drug disposition and in assessing the in vivo consequences of inhibiting this transporter by compounds interacting with human MRP2.

Abstract
Although the interaction between selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and other drugs is important in the treatment of depression, there have been few studies of SSRIs concerning transporter-mediated interactions in humans. The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vivo effects of commonly used SSRIs on the pharmacokinetics of fexofenadine, a P-glycoprotein substrate.Twelve healthy volunteers (3 females and 9 males) were enrolled in this study. Each subject received a 60-mg dose of fexofenadine orally at baseline. Afterward, they were randomly assigned to receive 3 treatments with a 60-mg dose of fexofenadine after a 7-day treatment with fluvoxamine (50 mg/d), paroxetine (20 mg/d), or sertraline (50 mg/d), with 2-week intervals between the agents.Fluvoxamine pretreatment significantly increased the maximum plasma concentration, the area under the concentration time curves, and the 24-hour urinary fexofenadine excretion by 66% (P = 0.004), 78% (P = 0.029), and 78% (P < 0.001), respectively, without prolonging its elimination half-life. Paroxetine extended the elimination half-life of fexofenadine by 45% (P = 0.042), and it increased the 24-hour urinary fexofenadine excretion by 55% (P = 0.002). Sertraline did not alter any of the pharmacokinetic parameters of fexofenadine.This is the first report of the different effects of 3 commonly used SSRIs on fexofenadine pharmacokinetics in humans. Our 7-day, repeated-dose clinical study in healthy volunteers indicates that fluvoxamine and paroxetine, but not sertraline, may impact the patient exposure to fexofenadine, which is likely the result of P-glycoprotein inhibition in the small intestine and/or the liver.

Abstract
Multidrug-associated protein 2 (MRP2) is an efflux transporter that is expressed at the bile canalicular membrane. To allow in vitro to in vivo extrapolation of the contribution of MRP2 toward hepatic disposition of its substrates, data on the interindividual variability of hepatic MRP2 protein expression are required. Therefore, we quantified the expression of MRP2 in the University of Washington (UW) human liver bank (n = 51) using a modified version of a previously validated liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry assay. An unlabeled (LTIIPQDPILFSGSLR) and stable isotope-labeled (LTIIPQDPILFSGSL[(13)C(6)(15)N(1)]R) surrogate peptide for MRP2 were used as the calibrator and internal standard, respectively. After isolation of the membrane fraction from the liver tissue, in-solution tryptic digestion was conducted. Quality control samples created by spiking human serum albumin or pooled human liver (n = 51) matrix with three different MRP2 synthetic peptide concentrations generated error and precision values of less than 15%. As determined by the surrogate peptide, the average MRP2 expression in the UW liver bank samples was 1.54 ± 0.64 fmol/μg liver membrane protein and was found to be independent of age (7-63 years) or sex. A single nucleotide polymorphism in the promoter region (rs717620), previously thought to affect MRP2 expression, did not influence hepatic expression of MRP2. In contrast, the single nucleotide polymorphism 21214G>A (V417I; rs2273697) was associated with significantly higher hepatic MRP2 expression.

Abstract
This study investigated an association of SLCO (encoding organic anion-transporting polypeptides (OATP), 1B1, 1B3, and 2B1), ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein (P-gp)), ABCC2 multidrug resistance protein 2 (MRP2), and ABCG2 (breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP)) polymorphisms with fexofenadine enantiomer pharmacokinetics after an oral dose of fexofenadine (60 mg) in 24 healthy subjects. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC(0-24)) of S-fexofenadine, but not R-fexofenadine, was significantly lower in subjects with a SLCO2B1*1/*1 allele as compared to subjects with a *3 allele (p = 0.031). The AUC(0-24) of S-fexofenadine was significantly lower in subjects with a wild-type combination of SLCO2B1*1/*1/ABCB1 1236CC, SLCO2B1*1/*1/ABCB1 3435CC, SLCO2B1*1/*1/ABCC2 -24CC, and ABCB1 1236CC/3435CC/ABCC2 -24CC compared to other polymorphic genotypes (p = 0.010, 0.033, 0.022, and 0.036, respectively), whereas there was no difference in the AUC(0-24) between the SLCO1B1/1B3 plus ABCB1 and ABCC2 groups. The pharmacokinetic properties of S-fexofenadine are affected by a single polymorphism of SLCO2B1 in combination with several polymorphisms of ABCB1 C1236T, C3435T, and ABCC2 C-24T. However, the ABCG2 polymorphism was not associated with fexofenadine pharmacokinetics. These findings suggest that a combination of multiple transporters, including OATP, P-gp, and MRP2, reacts strongly to fexofenadine exposure in the small intestine and liver, resulting in different dispositions of both enantiomers.

Abstract
ABCC2/Abcc2 (MRP2/Mrp2) is expressed at major physiological barriers, such as the canalicular membrane of liver cells, kidney proximal tubule epithelial cells, enterocytes of the small and large intestine, and syncytiotrophoblast of the placenta. ABCC2/Abcc2 always localizes in the apical membranes. Although ABCC2/Abcc2 transports a variety of amphiphilic anions that belong to different classes of molecules, such as endogenous compounds (e.g., bilirubin-glucuronides), drugs, toxic chemicals, nutraceuticals, and their conjugates, it displays a preference for phase II conjugates. Phenotypically, the most obvious consequence of mutations in ABCC2 that lead to Dubin-Johnson syndrome is conjugate hyperbilirubinemia. ABCC2/Abcc2 harbors multiple binding sites and displays complex transport kinetics.

Abstract
Drug transporters are involved in clinically relevant drug-drug interactions. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an efflux transporter that displays genetic polymorphism. Phenotyping permits evaluation of real-time, in vivo P-gp activity and P-gp-mediated drug-drug interactions. Digoxin, fexofenadine, talinolol and quinidine are commonly used probe drugs for P-gp phenotyping. Although current regulatory guidance documents highlight methodologies for evaluating transporter-based drug-drug interactions, whether current probe drugs are suitable for phenotyping has not been established, and validation criteria are lacking. This review proposes validation criteria and evaluates P-gp probes to determine probe suitability. Based on these criteria, digoxin, fexofenadine, talinolol and quinidine have limitations to their use and are not recommended for P-gp phenotyping.

Abstract
Transporters influence the disposition of chemicals within the body by participating in absorption, distribution, and elimination. Transporters of the solute carrier family (SLC) comprise a variety of proteins, including organic cation transporters (OCT) 1 to 3, organic cation/carnitine transporters (OCTN) 1 to 3, organic anion transporters (OAT) 1 to 7, various organic anion transporting polypeptide isoforms, sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide, apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter, peptide transporters (PEPT) 1 and 2, concentrative nucleoside transporters (CNT) 1 to 3, equilibrative nucleoside transporter (ENT) 1 to 3, and multidrug and toxin extrusion transporters (MATE) 1 and 2, which mediate the uptake (except MATEs) of organic anions and cations as well as peptides and nucleosides. Efflux transporters of the ATP-binding cassette superfamily, such as ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1), multidrug resistance proteins (MDR) 1 and 2, bile salt export pump, multidrug resistance-associated proteins (MRP) 1 to 9, breast cancer resistance protein, and ATP-binding cassette subfamily G members 5 and 8, are responsible for the unidirectional export of endogenous and exogenous substances. Other efflux transporters [ATPase copper-transporting beta polypeptide (ATP7B) and ATPase class I type 8B member 1 (ATP8B1) as well as organic solute transporters (OST) alpha and beta] also play major roles in the transport of some endogenous chemicals across biological membranes. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of these transporters (both rodent and human) with regard to tissue distribution, subcellular localization, and substrate preferences. Because uptake and efflux transporters are expressed in multiple cell types, the roles of transporters in a variety of tissues, including the liver, kidneys, intestine, brain, heart, placenta, mammary glands, immune cells, and testes are discussed. Attention is also placed upon a variety of regulatory factors that influence transporter expression and function, including transcriptional activation and post-translational modifications as well as subcellular trafficking. Sex differences, ontogeny, and pharmacological and toxicological regulation of transporters are also addressed. Transporters are important transmembrane proteins that mediate the cellular entry and exit of a wide range of substrates throughout the body and thereby play important roles in human physiology, pharmacology, pathology, and toxicology.

Abstract
The utility of the diaminoquinazoline derivative CP-100,356 as an in vivo probe to selectively assess MDR1/BCRP-mediated drug efflux was examined in the rat. CP-100,356 was devoid of inhibition (IC(50) >50 microM) against major human P450 enzymes including P4503A4. In human MDR1-transfected MDCKII cells, CP-100,356 inhibited acetoxymethyl calcein (calcein-AM) uptake (IC(50) approximately 0.5 +/- 0.07 microM) and digoxin transport (IC(50) approximately 1.2 +/- 0.1 microM). Inhibition of prazosin transport (IC(50) approximately 1.5 +/- 0.3 microM) in human BCRP-transfected MDCKII cells by CP-100,356 confirmed the dual MDR1/BCRP inhibitory properties. CP-100,356 was a weak inhibitor of OATP1B1 (IC(50) approximately 66 +/- 1.1 microM) and was devoid of MRP2 inhibition (IC(50) >15 microM). In vivo inhibitory effects of CP-100,356 in rats were examined after coadministration with MDR1 substrate fexofenadine and dual MDR1/BCRP substrate prazosin. Coadministration with increasing doses of CP-100,356 resulted in dramatic increases in systemic exposure of fexofenadine (36- and 80-fold increase in C(max) and AUC at a CP-100,356 dose of 24 mg/kg). Significant differences in prazosin pharmacokinetics were also discernible in CP-100,356-pretreated rats as reflected from a 2.6-fold increase in AUC. Coadministration of CP-100,356 and P4503A substrate midazolam did not result in elevations in systemic exposure of midazolam in the rat. The in vivo methodology should have utility in drug discovery in selective and facile assessment of the role of MDR1 and BCRP efflux transporters in oral absorption of new drug candidates.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
This study examined the effects of St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) on the disposition of fexofenadine, a substrate of P-glycoprotein/organic anion transporting polypeptide, in the isolated perfused rat liver.
Methods
Male Sprague-Dawley rats were given St John's wort, 1000 mg/kg, by intragastric gavage once daily for 14 days. On day 15, livers were isolated surgically and perfused in a recirculating system with fexofenadine (2 μg/ml), either alone or following addition of ciclosporin (0.5 μg/ml) 5 min before the addition of fexofenadine. Perfusate samples and bile were collected for 60 min. Fexofenadine in perfusate, bile and the homogenised livers was measured by HPLC.
Key findings
Administration of St John's wort significantly increased biliary clearance with respect to perfusate and biliary clearance with respect to the concentration in the liver, by 74% and 71%, respectively. This was reversed by ciclosporin.
Conclusions
St John's wort enhanced the elimination of fexofenadine into the bile. This could be because it increases the activity of P-glycoprotein on the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes.

Abstract
ESRD can affect the pharmacokinetic disposition of drugs subject to nonrenal clearance. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, including CYP3A, and multiple intestinal and hepatic drug transporters are thought to mediate this process, but the extent to which kidney disease alters the function of these proteins in humans is unknown. We used midazolam and fexofenadine to assess CYP3A (intestinal and hepatic) and drug transport, respectively, in patients with ESRD and healthy control subjects. We evaluated the effect of uremia on CYP3A and transporter expression in vitro by incubating normal rat hepatocytes and enterocytes with serum drawn from study participants. ESRD dramatically reduced nonrenal transporter function, evidenced by a 63% decrease in clearance (P < 0.001) and a 2.8-fold increase in area under the plasma concentration-time curve for fexofenadine (P = 0.002), compared with control subjects. We did not observe significant differences in midazolam or 1'-hydroxymidazolam clearance or area under the curve after oral administration, suggesting that CYP3A function is not changed by ESRD. Changes in hepatocyte and enterocyte protein expression in the presence of uremic serum were consistent with in vivo results. These findings demonstrate a mechanism for altered drug disposition in kidney disease, which may partially account for the high rates of drug toxicity in this population.

Abstract
PURPOSE The suitability of fexofenadine as a probe substrate to assess hepatobiliary transport function in humans was evaluated by pharmacokinetic modeling/simulation and in vitro/in situ studies using chemical modulators. METHODS Simulations based on a pharmacokinetic model developed to describe fexofenadine disposition in humans were conducted to examine the impact of altered hepatobiliary transport on fexofenadine disposition. The effect of GF120918 on fexofenadine disposition was evaluated in human sandwich-cultured hepatocytes (SCH). Additionally, the effect of GF120918, bosentan, and taurocholate on fexofenadine disposition in perfused livers from TR(-) Wistar rats was examined. RESULTS Based on modeling/simulation, fexofenadine systemic exposure was most sensitive to changes in the hepatic uptake rate constant, and did not reflect changes in hepatic exposure due to altered hepatic efflux. GF120918 did not impair fexofenadine biliary excretion in human SCH. GF120918 coadministration significantly decreased Cl'(biliary) to 27.5% of control in perfused rat livers. CONCLUSIONS Simulations were in agreement with perfused liver data which predicted changes in fexofenadine systemic exposure primarily due to altered hepatic uptake. Fexofenadine is not a suitable probe to assess hepatic efflux function based on systemic concentrations. GF120918-sensitive protein(s) mediate fexofenadine biliary excretion in rat liver, whereas in human hepatocytes multiple efflux proteins are involved in fexofenadine hepatobiliary disposition.

Abstract
Cimetidine is known to cause drug-drug interactions (DDIs) with organic cations in the kidney, and a previous clinical study showed that coadministration of cimetidine or probenecid with fexofenadine (FEX) decreased its renal clearance. FEX was taken up into human kidney by human organic anion transporter (hOAT) 3 (SLC22A8), but the mechanism of its luminal efflux has not been clarified. The present study examined the molecular mechanism of these DDIs. Saturable uptake of FEX was observed in human kidney slices, with K(m) and V(max) values of 157+/-7 microM and 418+/-16 nmol/15 min/g kidney, respectively. Cimetidine only slightly inhibited its uptake even at 100 microM, far greater than its clinically relevant concentration, whereas 10 microM probenecid markedly inhibited its uptake. As candidate transporters for the luminal efflux of FEX, we focused on human multidrug and toxin extrusions MATE1 (SLC47A1) and MATE2-K (SLC47A2). Saturable uptake of FEX could be observed in human embryonic kidney 293 cells expressing human MATE1 (hMATE1), whereas hMATE2-K-specific uptake of FEX was too small to conduct its further kinetic analysis. The hMATE1-mediated uptake clearance of FEX was inhibited by cimetidine in a concentration-dependent manner, and it was decreased to 60% of the control value in the presence of 3 microM cimetidine. Taken together, our results suggest that the DDI of FEX with probenecid can be explained by the inhibition of renal uptake mediated by hOAT3, whereas the DDI with cimetidine is mainly caused by the inhibition of hMATE1-mediated efflux of FEX rather than the inhibition of its renal uptake process.

Abstract
The disposition of fexofenadine, a commonly used antihistamine drug, is governed primarily by active transport. Biliary excretion of the parent compound is the major route of systemic clearance. Previous studies demonstrated that fexofenadine hepatic uptake is mediated by organic anion transporting polypeptides. Recently, we showed that in mice fexofenadine is excreted into bile primarily by multidrug resistance-associated protein (Mrp) 2 (Abcc2). In the present study, the roles of Mrp3 (Abcc3) and Mrp4 (Abcc4) in the hepatobiliary disposition of fexofenadine were examined in knockout mice using in situ liver perfusion. Compared with that in wild-type mice, basolateral excretion of fexofenadine was impaired, resulting in a approximately 50% decrease in perfusate recovery in Abcc3(-/-) mice; in contrast, fexofenadine hepatobiliary disposition was unaltered in Abcc4(-/-) mice. As expected, in Abcc2(-/-) mice, fexofenadine was redirected from the canalicular to the basolateral membrane for excretion. In Abcc2(-/-)/Abcc3(-/-) double-knockout mice, fexofenadine biliary excretion was impaired, but perfusate recovery was similar to that in wild-type mice and more than 2-fold higher than that in Abcc3(-/-) mice, presumably due to compensatory basolateral transport mechanism(s). These results demonstrate that multiple transport proteins are involved in the hepatobiliary disposition of fexofenadine. In addition to Mrp2 and Mrp3, other transport proteins play an important role in the biliary and hepatic basolateral excretion of this zwitterionic drug.

Abstract
Fexofenadine (FEX) is mainly eliminated from the liver into bile in unchanged form. We demonstrated previously that organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 and OATP1B3 are involved in the hepatic uptake of FEX. However, little is known about the mechanisms controlling the hepatic efflux of FEX from the liver to bile and blood. In the present study, the involvement of hepatic efflux transporters in the pharmacokinetics of FEX was investigated in both in vitro and in vivo studies. Vectorial transport of FEX was observed in OATP1B3/human bile salt export pump (hBSEP) double transfectants but not in OATP1B3/human breast cancer resistance protein double transfectants, which indicates the possible contribution of hBSEP to the biliary excretion of FEX in humans. In multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (Mrp2)(-/-) mice, the biliary excretion clearance based on the plasma concentration and the liver-to-plasma concentration ratio significantly decreased, whereas the biliary excretion clearance based on the liver concentration decreased only with 20%, suggesting the minimum contribution of Mrp2 to its biliary excretion. ATP-dependent transport of FEX was observed in hMRP3-enriched membrane vesicles but not hMRP4. In Mrp3(-/-) mice, the biliary excretion clearance based on both the plasma and liver concentration and the liver-to-plasma concentration ratio increased, suggesting the significant contribution of Mrp3 to its sinusoidal efflux and the up-regulation of its biliary excretion in Mrp3(-/-) mice. On the other hand, pharmacokinetics of FEX remained unchanged in Mrp4(-/-) mice. This information provides a novel insight into the transporters important for FEX disposition.
