Abstract
Background Hemorrhagic stroke (HS), a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, has not been clarified in terms of the underlying biomolecular mechanisms of its development. Circulating metabolites have been closely associated with HS in recent years. Therefore, we explored the causal association between circulating metabolomes and HS using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis and identified the molecular mechanisms of effects. Methods We assessed the causal relationship between circulating serum metabolites (CSMs) and HS using a bidirectional two-sample MR method supplemented with five ways: weighted median, MR Egger, simple mode, weighted mode, and MR-PRESSO. The Cochran Q-test, MR-Egger intercept test, and MR-PRESSO served for the sensitivity analyses. The Steiger test and reverse MR were used to estimate reverse causality. Metabolic pathway analyses were performed using MetaboAnalyst 5.0, and genetic effects were assessed by linkage disequilibrium score regression. Significant metabolites were further synthesized using meta-analysis, and we used multivariate MR to correct for common confounders. Results We finally recognized four metabolites, biliverdin (OR 0.62, 95% CI 0.40-0.96, PMVMR = 0.030), linoleate (18. 2n6) (OR 0.20, 95% CI 0.08-0.54, PMVMR = 0.001),1-eicosadienoylglycerophosphocholine* (OR 2.21, 95% CI 1.02-4.76, PMVMR = 0.044),7-alpha-hydroxy-3 -oxo-4-cholestenoate (7-Hoca) (OR 0.27, 95% CI 0.09-0.77, PMVMR = 0.015) with significant causal relation to HS. Conclusion We demonstrated significant causal associations between circulating serum metabolites and hemorrhagic stroke. Monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment of hemorrhagic stroke by serum metabolites might be a valuable approach.

An Isolated Perfused Rat Liver Model: Simultaneous LC-MS Quantification of Pitavastatin, Coproporphyrin I, and Coproporphyrin III Levels in the Rat Liver and Bile. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:19250-19260. [PMID: 38708282 PMCID: PMC11064166 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c00109] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024]
Abstract
The isolated perfused rat liver (IPRL) model provides a mechanistic understanding of the organic-anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP/Oatp)-mediated pharmacokinetics in the preclinical evaluation, which often requires the use of control substrates (i.e., pitavastatin) and monitoring endogenous biomarkers (coproporphyrin I and III). This study aimed to develop and validate an LC-MS method allowing the simultaneous quantification of pitavastatin, coproporphyrin I (CPI), and coproporphyrin III (CPIII) in rat liver perfusion matrices (perfusate, liver homogenate, bile). The analysis was performed on a C18 column at 60 °C with 20 μL of sample injection. The mobile phases consisted of water with 0.1% formic acid and acetonitrile with 0.1% formic acid with a gradient flow of 0.5 mL/min. The assay was validated according to the ICH M10 Bioanalytical Method Validation Guideline (2022) for selectivity, calibration curve and range, matrix effect, carryover, accuracy, precision, and reinjection reproducibility. The method allowing the simultaneous quantification of pitavastatin, CPI, and CPIII was selective without having carryover and matrix effects. The linear calibration curves were obtained within various calibration ranges for three analytes in different matrices. Accuracy and precision values fulfilled the required limits. After 60 min perfusion with pitavastatin (1 μM), the cumulative amounts of pitavastatin in the liver and bile were 5.770 ± 1.504 and 0.852 ± 0.430 nmol/g liver, respectively. CPIII was a more dominant marker than CPI in both liver (0.028 ± 0.017 vs 0.013 ± 0.008 nmol/g liver) and bile (0.016 ± 0.011 vs 0.009 ± 0.007 nmol/g liver). The novel and validated bioanalytical method can be applied in further IPRL preparations investigating Oatp-mediated pharmacokinetics and DDIs.

Non-targeted metabolomics for the identification of plasma metabolites associated with organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 function. Clin Transl Sci 2024; 17:e13773. [PMID: 38515340 PMCID: PMC10958181 DOI: 10.1111/cts.13773] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2023] [Revised: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Our aim was to evaluate biomarkers for organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1) function using a hypothesis-free metabolomics approach. We analyzed fasting plasma samples from 356 healthy volunteers using non-targeted metabolite profiling by liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry. Based on SLCO1B1 genotypes, we stratified the volunteers to poor, decreased, normal, increased, and highly increased OATP1B1 function groups. Linear regression analysis, and random forest (RF) and gradient boosted decision tree (GBDT) regressors were used to investigate associations of plasma metabolite features with OATP1B1 function. Of the 9152 molecular features found, 39 associated with OATP1B1 function either in the linear regression analysis (p < 10-5) or the RF or GBDT regressors (Gini impurity decrease > 0.01). Linear regression analysis showed the strongest associations with two features identified as glycodeoxycholate 3-O-glucuronide (GDCA-3G; p = 1.2 × 10-20 for negative and p = 1.7 × 10-19 for positive electrospray ionization) and one identified as glycochenodeoxycholate 3-O-glucuronide (GCDCA-3G; p = 2.7 × 10-16). In both the RF and GBDT models, the GCDCA-3G feature showed the strongest association with OATP1B1 function, with Gini impurity decreases of 0.40 and 0.17. In RF, this was followed by one GDCA-3G feature, an unidentified feature with a molecular weight of 809.3521, and the second GDCA-3G feature. In GBDT, the second and third strongest associations were observed with the GDCA-3G features. Of the other associated features, we identified with confidence two representing lysophosphatidylethanolamine 22:5. In addition, one feature was putatively identified as pregnanolone sulfate and one as pregnenolone sulfate. These results confirm GCDCA-3G and GDCA-3G as robust OATP1B1 biomarkers in human plasma.

Abstract
The organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1B3 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) provide efficient directional transport (OATP1B3-P-gp) from the blood to the bile that serves as a key determinant of hepatic disposition of the drug. Unfortunately, there is still a lack of effective means to evaluate the disposal ability mediated by transporters. The present study was designed to identify a suitable endogenous biomarker for the assessment of OATP1B3-P-gp function in the liver. We established stably transfected HEK293T-OATP1B3 and HEK293T-P-gp cell lines. Results showed that azelaic acid (AzA) was an endogenous substrate for OATP1B3 and P-gp using serum pharmacology combined with metabolomics. There is a good correlation between the serum concentration of AzA and probe drugs of rOATP1B3 and rP-gp when rats were treated with their inhibitors. Importantly, after 5-fluorouracil-induced rat liver injury, the relative mRNA level and expression of rOATP1B3 and rP-gp were markedly down-regulated in the liver, and the serum concentration of AzA was significantly increased. These observations suggest that AzA is an endogenous substrate of both OATP1B3 and P-gp, and may serve as a potential endogenous biomarker for the assessment of the function of OATP1B3-P-gp for the prediction of changes in the pharmacokinetics of drugs transported by OATP1B3-P-gp in liver disease states.

Abstract
The renal tubular organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2) and multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 1 (MATE1) mediate the vectorial elimination of many drugs and toxins from the kidney, and endogenous biomarkers for vectorial transport (OCT2-MATE1) would allow more accurate drug dosing and help to characterize drug-drug interactions and toxicity. Human serum uptake in OCT2-overexpressing cells and metabolomics analysis were carried out. Potential biomarkers were verified in vitro and in vivo. The specificity of biomarkers was validated in renal transporter overexpressing cells and the sensitivity was investigated by Km . The results showed that the uptake of thiamine, histamine, and 5-hydroxytryptamine was significantly increased in OCT2-overexpressing cells. In vitro assays confirmed that thiamine, histamine, and 5-hydroxytryptamine were substrates of both OCT2 and MATE1. In vivo measurements indicated that the serum thiamine level was increased significantly in the presence of the rOCT2 inhibitor cimetidine, and the level in renal tissue was increased significantly by the rMATE1 inhibitor pyrimethamine. There were no significant changes in the uptake or efflux of thiamine in cell lines overexpressed OAT1, OAT2, OAT3, MRP4, organic anion transporting polypeptide 4C1, P-gp, peptide transporter 2, urate transporter 1, and OAT4. The Km for thiamine with OCT2 and MATE1 were 71.2 and 10.8 μM, respectively. In addition, the cumulative excretion of thiamine at 2 and 4 h was strongly correlated with metformin excretion (R2 > 0.6). Thus, thiamine is preferentially secreted by the OCT2 and MATE1 in renal tubules and can provide a reference value for evaluating the function of the renal tubular OCT2-MATE1.

Clin Pharmacol Drug Dev 2024; 13:197-207.

Abstract
Evaluating Drug-Drug Interactions (DDIs) for new investigational compounds requires several trials evaluating different drugs with different transporter specificities. By using a cocktail of drugs with different transporter specificities, a single trial could evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PKs) of each cocktail drug simultaneously, reducing the number of clinical DDI trials required for clinical development. We aimed to investigate the effect of steady-state Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) 730357 (bevurogant) on the PKs of a validated and optimized 4-component transporter cocktail. This open-label, non-randomized, 2-period fixed-sequence phase I trial compared transporter cocktail (0.25 mg digoxin/1 mg furosemide/10 mg metformin hydrochloride/10 mg rosuvastatin) with and without BI 730357 in healthy subjects aged 18-55 years with body mass index 18.5-29.9 kg/m2 . During reference treatment/period 1, transporter cocktail was administered 90 minutes after breakfast. After a washout period, during test treatment/period 2, BI 730357 was dosed twice daily for 13 days, with transporter cocktail administered on day 1. The primary endpoints were the area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-∞ ) and the maximum measured concentration of the analyte in plasma (Cmax ), and the secondary endpoint was the area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the last quantifiable data point (AUC0-tz ). Steady-state BI 730357 increased digoxin (+48% to +94%), minimally affected metformin (-2% to -9%), furosemide (+12% to +18%), and rosuvastatin (+19% to +39%) exposure. Therefore, no clinically relevant inhibition of transporters OCT2/MATE-1/MATE-2K, OAT1/OAT3, OATP1B1/OATP1B3 was observed. Potential inhibition of breast cancer resistance protein noted as PK parameters of coproporphyrin I/III (OATP1B1/OATP1B3 biomarkers) remained within bioequivalence boundaries while rosuvastatin PK parameters (AUC0-∞ /Cmax /AUC0-tz ) exceeded the bioequivalence boundary. BI 730357 was safe and well tolerated. This trial confirms the usefulness and tolerability of the transporter cocktail consisting of digoxin, furosemide, metformin, and rosuvastatin in assessing drug-transporter interactions in vivo.

Abstract
Pharmacogenomics (PGx) enables personalized treatment for the prediction of drug response and to avoid adverse drug reactions. Currently, PGx mainly relies on the genetic information of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) targets such as drug-metabolizing enzymes or transporters to predict differences in the patient's phenotype. However, there is evidence that the phenotype-genotype concordance is limited. Thus, we discuss different phenotyping strategies using exogenous xenobiotics (e.g., drug cocktails) or endogenous compounds for phenotype prediction. In particular, minimally invasive approaches focusing on liquid biopsies offer great potential to preemptively determine metabolic and transport capacities. Early studies indicate that ADME phenotyping using exosomes released from the liver is reliable. In addition, pharmacometric modeling and artificial intelligence improve phenotype prediction. However, further prospective studies are needed to demonstrate the clinical utility of individualized treatment based on phenotyping strategies, not only relying on genetics. The present review summarizes current knowledge and limitations.

Abstract
Tubular secretion is a primary mechanism along with glomerular filtration for renal elimination of drugs and toxicants into urine. Organic cation transporters (OCTs) and multidrug and toxic extrusion (MATE) transporters facilitate the active secretion of cationic substrates, including drugs such as metformin and endogenous cations. We hypothesized that administration of cimetidine, an Oct/Mate inhibitor, will result in increased plasma levels and decreased renal clearance of metformin and endogenous Oct/Mate substrates in rats. A paired rat pharmacokinetic study was carried out in which metformin (5 mg/kg, intravenous) was administered as an exogenous substrate of Oct/Mate transporters to six Sprague-Dawley rats with and without cimetidine (100 mg/kg, intraperitoneal). When co-administered with cimetidine, metformin area under the curve increased significantly by 3.2-fold, and its renal clearance reduced significantly by 73%. Untargeted metabolomics was performed to investigate the effect of cimetidine on endogenous metabolome in the blood and urine samples. Over 8,000 features (metabolites) were detected in the blood, which were shortlisted using optimized criteria, i.e., a significant increase (P value < 0.05) in metabolite peak intensity in the cimetidine-treated group, reproducible retention time, and quality of chromatogram peak. The metabolite hits were classified into three groups that can potentially distinguish inhibition of i) extra-renal uptake transport or catabolism, ii) renal Octs, and iii) renal efflux transporters or metabolite formation. The metabolomics approach identified novel putative endogenous substrates of cationic transporters that could be tested as potential biomarkers to predict Oct/Mate transporter mediated drug-drug interactions in the preclinical stages. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Endogenous substrates of renal transporters in animal models could be used as potential biomarkers to predict renal drug-drug interactions in early drug development. Here we demonstrated that cimetidine, an inhibitor of organic cation transporters (Oct/Mate), could alter the pharmacokinetics of metformin and endogenous cationic substrates in rats. Several putative endogenous metabolites of Oct/Mate transporters were identified using metabolomics approach, which could be tested as potential transporter biomarkers to predict renal drug-drug interaction of Oct/Mate substrates.

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

[PMID: 38024860 PMCID: PMC10657973 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpha.2023.05.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Renal tubular secretion mediated by organic anion transporters (OATs) and the multidrug resistance-associated protein 4 (MRP4) is an important means of drug and toxin excretion. Unfortunately, there are no biomarkers to evaluate their function. The aim of this study was to identify and characterize an endogenous biomarker of the renal tubular OATs-MRP4 channel. Twenty-six uremic toxins were selected as candidate compounds, of which kynurenic acid was identified as a potential biomarker by assessing the protein-binding ratio and the uptake in OAT1-, OAT3-, and MRP4-overexpressing cell lines. OAT1/3 and MRP4 mediated the transcellular vectorial transport of kynurenic acid in vitro. Serum kynurenic acid concentration was dramatically increased in rats treated with a rat OAT1/3 (rOAT1/3) inhibitor and in rOAT1/3 double knockout (rOAT1/3-/-) rats, and the renal concentrations were markedly elevated by the rat MRP4 (rMRP4) inhibitor. Kynurenic acid was not filtered at the glomerulus (99% of albumin binding), and was specifically secreted in renal tubules through the OAT1/3-MRP4 channel with an appropriate affinity (Km) (496.7 μM and 382.2 μM for OAT1 and OAT3, respectively) and renal clearance half-life (t1/2) in vivo (3.7 ± 0.7 h). There is a strong correlation in area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve (AUC0-t) between cefmetazole and kynurenic acid, but not with creatinine, after inhibition of rOATs. In addition, the phase of increased kynurenic acid level is earlier than that of creatinine in acute kidney injury process. These results suggest that albumin-bound kynurenic acid is an appropriate endogenous biomarker for adjusting the dosage of drugs secreted by this channel or predicting kidney injury.

Wu M, Du Y, Zhang C, Li Z, Li Q, Qi E, Ruan W, Feng S, Zhou H. Mendelian Randomization Study of Lipid Metabolites Reveals Causal Associations with Heel Bone Mineral Density. Nutrients 2023; 15:4160. [PMID: 37836445 PMCID: PMC10574167 DOI: 10.3390/nu15194160] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis, which is a bone disease, is characterized by low bone mineral density and an increased risk of fractures. The heel bone mineral density is often used as a representative measure of overall bone mineral density. Lipid metabolism, which includes processes such as fatty acid metabolism, glycerol metabolism, inositol metabolism, bile acid metabolism, carnitine metabolism, ketone body metabolism, sterol and steroid metabolism, etc., may have an impact on changes in bone mineral density. While some studies have reported correlations between lipid metabolism and heel bone mineral density, the overall causal relationship between metabolites and heel bone mineral density remains unclear. OBJECTIVE to investigate the causal relationship between lipid metabolites and heel bone mineral density using two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis. METHODS Summary-level data from large-scale genome-wide association studies were extracted to identify genetic variants linked to lipid metabolite levels. These genetic variants were subsequently employed as instrumental variables in Mendelian randomization analysis to estimate the causal effects of each lipid metabolite on heel bone mineral density. Furthermore, metabolites that could potentially be influenced by causal relationships with bone mineral density were extracted from the KEGG and WikiPathways databases. The causal associations between these downstream metabolites and heel bone mineral density were then examined. Lastly, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to evaluate the robustness of the results and address potential sources of bias. RESULTS A total of 130 lipid metabolites were analyzed, and it was found that acetylcarnitine, propionylcarnitine, hexadecanedioate, tetradecanedioate, myo-inositol, 1-arachidonoylglycerophosphorine, 1-linoleoylglycerophoethanolamine, and epiandrosterone sulfate had a causal relationship with heel bone mineral density (p < 0.05). Furthermore, our findings also indicate an absence of causal association between the downstream metabolites associated with the aforementioned metabolites identified in the KEGG and WikiPathways databases and heel bone mineral density. CONCLUSION This work supports the hypothesis that lipid metabolites have an impact on bone health through demonstrating a causal relationship between specific lipid metabolites and heel bone mineral density. This study has significant implications for the development of new strategies to osteoporosis prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Vincristine is a widely used chemotherapeutic drug for the treatment of multiple malignant diseases that causes a dose-limiting peripheral neurotoxicity. There is no clinically effective preventative treatment for vincristine-induced sensory peripheral neurotoxicity (VIPN), and mechanistic details of this side effect remain poorly understood. We hypothesized that VIPN is dependent on transporter-mediated vincristine accumulation in dorsal root ganglion neurons. Using a xenobiotic transporter screen, we identified OATP1B3 as a neuronal transporter regulating the uptake of vincristine. In addition, genetic or pharmacological inhibition of the murine orthologue transporter OATP1B2 protected mice from various hallmarks of VIPN - including mechanical allodynia, thermal hyperalgesia, and changes in digital maximal action potential amplitudes and neuronal morphology - without negatively affecting plasma levels or antitumor effects of vincristine. Finally, we identified α-tocopherol from an untargeted metabolomics analysis as a circulating endogenous biomarker of neuronal OATP1B2 function, and it could serve as a companion diagnostic to guide dose selection of OATP1B-type transport modulators given in combination with vincristine to prevent VIPN. Collectively, our findings shed light on the fundamental basis of VIPN and provide a rationale for the clinical development of transporter inhibitors to prevent this debilitating side effect.

Abstract
The kidney is critical in the human body's excretion of drugs and their metabolites. Renal transporters participate in actively secreting substances from the proximal tubular cells and reabsorbing them in the distal renal tubules. They can affect the clearance rates (CLr) of drugs and their metabolites, eventually influence the clinical efficiency and side effects of drugs, and may produce drug-drug interactions (DDIs) of clinical significance. Renal transporters and renal transporter-mediated DDIs have also been studied by many researchers. In this article, the main types of in vitro research models used for the study of renal transporter-mediated DDIs are membrane-based assays, cell-based assays, and the renal slice uptake model. In vivo research models include animal experiments, gene knockout animal models, positron emission tomography (PET) technology, and studies on human beings. In addition, in vitro-in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE), ex vivo kidney perfusion (EVKP) models, and, more recently, biomarker methods and in silico models are included. This article reviews the traditional research methods of renal transporter-mediated DDIs, updates the recent progress in the development of the methods, and then classifies and summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Through the sorting work conducted in this paper, it will be convenient for researchers at different learning stages to choose the best method for their own research based on their own subject's situation when they are going to study DDIs mediated by renal transporters.

Pan‐Transporter
Inhibition Signatures. Clin Pharmacol Ther 2022; 113:986-1002.

Abstract
Solute carrier (SLC) transporters present as the loci of important drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Therefore, sponsors generate in vitro half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50 ) data and apply regulatory agency-guided "static" methods to assess DDI risk and the need for a formal clinical DDI study. Because such methods are conservative and high false-positive rates are likely (e.g., DDI study triggered when liver SLC R value ≥ 1.04 and renal SLC maximal unbound plasma (Cmax,u )/IC50 ratio ≥ 0.02), investigators have attempted to deploy plasma- and urine-based SLC biomarkers in phase I studies to de-risk DDI and obviate the need for drug probe-based studies. In this regard, it was possible to generate in-house in vitro SLC IC50 data for various clinically (biomarker)-qualified perpetrator drugs, under standard assay conditions, and then estimate "% inhibition" for each SLC and relate it empirically to published clinical biomarker data (area under the plasma concentration vs. time curve (AUC) ratio (AUCR, AUCinhibitor /AUCreference ) and % decrease in renal clearance (ΔCLrenal )). After such a "calibration" exercise, it was determined that only compounds with high R values (> 1.5) and Cmax,u /IC50 ratios (> 0.5) are likely to significantly modulate liver (AUCR > 1.25) and renal (ΔCLrenal > 25%) biomarkers and evoke DDI risk. The % inhibition approach supports integration of liver and renal SLC data and allows one to generate pan-SLC inhibition signatures for different test perpetrators (e.g., SLC % inhibition ranking). In turn, such signatures can guide the selection of the most appropriate individual (or combinations of) biomarkers for testing in phase I studies.

Abstract
Transporters govern the access of molecules to cells or their exit from cells, thereby controlling the overall distribution of drugs to their intracellular site of action. Clinically relevant drug-drug interactions mediated by transporters are of increasing interest in drug development. Drug transporters, acting alone or in concert with drug metabolizing enzymes, can play an important role in modulating drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, thus affecting the pharmacokinetics and/or pharmacodynamics of a drug. Dr. Kathy Giacomini from the University of California, San Francisco is one of the world leaders in transporters and pharmacogenetics with key contributions to transporter science. Her contributions to transporter science are noteworthy. This review paper will summarize Dr. Giacomini's key contributions and influence on transporters in regulatory science in the past two decades. Regulatory science research highlighted in this review covers various aspects of transporter science including understanding the effect of renal impairment on transporters, transporter ontogeny, biomarkers for transporters, and interactions of excipients with transporters affecting drug absorption. Significance Statement This review paper highlights Dr. Giacomini's key contributions and influence on transporters in regulatory science in the past two decades. She has been at the cutting edge of science pertaining to drug transport, drug disposition, and regulatory science, leading to new era of translational sciences pertaining to drug disposition and transporter biology. Her research has and will continue to bring enormous impact on gaining new knowledge in guiding drug development and inspire scientists from all sectors in the field.

Abstract
Drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) is an important branch of pharmaceutical sciences. The nature of ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion) and PK (pharmacokinetics) inquiries during drug discovery and development has evolved in recent years from being largely descriptive to seeking a more quantitative and mechanistic understanding of the fate of drug candidates in biological systems. Tremendous progress has been made in the past decade, not only in the characterization of physiochemical properties of drugs that influence their ADME, target organ exposure, and toxicity, but also in the identification of design principles that can minimize drug-drug interaction (DDI) potentials and reduce the attritions. The importance of membrane transporters in drug disposition, efficacy, and safety, as well as the interplay with metabolic processes, has been increasingly recognized. Dramatic increases in investments on new modalities beyond traditional small and large molecule drugs, such as peptides, oligonucleotides, and antibody-drug conjugates, necessitated further innovations in bioanalytical and experimental tools for the characterization of their ADME properties. In this review, we highlight some of the most notable advances in the last decade, and provide future perspectives on potential major breakthroughs and innovations in the translation of DMPK science in various stages of drug discovery and development.

Abstract
Endogenous biomarkers for transporter-mediated drug-drug interaction (DDI) predictions represent a promising approach to facilitate and improve conventional DDI investigations in clinical studies. This approach requires high sensitivity and specificity of biomarkers for the targets of interest (e.g., transport proteins), as well as rigorous characterization of their kinetics, which can be accomplished utilizing physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop PBPK models of the endogenous organic cation transporter (OCT)2 and multidrug and toxin extrusion protein (MATE)1 substrates creatinine and N1 -methylnicotinamide (NMN). Additionally, this study aimed to predict kinetic changes of the biomarkers during administration of the OCT2 and MATE1 perpetrator drugs trimethoprim, pyrimethamine, and cimetidine. Whole-body PBPK models of creatinine and NMN were developed utilizing studies investigating creatinine or NMN exogenous administration and endogenous synthesis. The newly developed models accurately describe and predict observed plasma concentration-time profiles and urinary excretion of both biomarkers. Subsequently, models were coupled to the previously built and evaluated perpetrator models of trimethoprim, pyrimethamine, and cimetidine for interaction predictions. Increased creatinine plasma concentrations and decreased urinary excretion during the drug-biomarker interactions with trimethoprim, pyrimethamine, and cimetidine were well-described. An additional inhibition of NMN synthesis by trimethoprim and pyrimethamine was hypothesized, improving NMN plasma and urine interaction predictions. To summarize, whole-body PBPK models of creatinine and NMN were built and evaluated to better assess creatinine and NMN kinetics while uncovering knowledge gaps for future research. The models can support investigations of renal transporter-mediated DDIs during drug development.

Abstract
PF-06835919 is a first-in-class ketohexokinase inhibitor (KHKi), recently under development for the treatment of metabolic and fatty liver diseases, which inhibited organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B1 in vitro and presented drug-drug interaction (DDI) risk. This study aims to investigate the dose-dependent effect of KHKi on OATP1B in vivo activity. We performed an open-label study comparing pharmacokinetics of atorvastatin (OATP1B probe) dosed alone (20 mg single dose) and coadministered with two dose strengths of KHKi (50 and 280 mg once daily) in 12 healthy participants. Additionally, changes in exposure of coproporphyrin-I (CP-I), an endogenous biomarker for OATP1B, were assessed in the atorvastatin study (1.12-fold and 1.49-fold increase in area under the plasma concentration-time profile (AUC) with once-daily 50 and 280 mg, respectively), and a separate single oral dose study of KHKi alone (100-600 mg, n = 6 healthy participants; up to a 1.80-fold increase in AUC). Geometric mean ratios (90% confidence interval) of atorvastatin (area under the plasma concentration - time profile from time 0 extrapolated to infinite time) AUCinf following 50 and 280 mg KHKi were 1.14 (1.00-1.30) and 1.54 (1.37-1.74), respectively. Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling of CP-I plasma exposure following a single dose of KHKi predicted in vivo OATP1B inhibition from about 13% to 70% over the 100 to 600 mg dose range, while using the in vitro inhibition potency (1.9 µM). Model-based analysis correctly predicted "no-effect" (AUC ratio < 1.25) at the low dose range and "weak" effect (AUC ratio < 2) on atorvastatin pharmacokinetics at the high dose range of KHKi. This study exemplified the utility of biomarker-informed model-based approach in discerning even small effects on OATP1B activity in vivo, and to project DDI risk at the clinically relevant doses.

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

Endogenous Plasma Kynurenic Acid in Human: A Newly Discovered Biomarker for Drug-Drug Interactions Involving Organic Anion Transporter 1 and 3 Inhibition. Drug Metab Dispos 2021; 49:1063-1069. [PMID: 34599018 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.121.000486] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
As an expansion investigation of drug-drug interaction (DDI) from previous clinical trials, additional plasma endogenous metabolites were quantitated in the same subjects to further identify the potential biomarkers of organic anion transporter (OAT) 1/3 inhibition. In the single dose, open label, three-phase with fixed order of treatments study, 14 healthy human volunteers orally received 1000 mg probenecid alone, or 40 mg furosemide alone, or 40 mg furosemide at 1 hour after receiving 1000 mg probenecid on days 1, 8, and 15, respectively. Endogenous metabolites including kynurenic acid, xanthurenic acid, indo-3-acetic acid, pantothenic acid, p-cresol sulfate, and bile acids in the plasma were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The Cmax of kynurenic acids was significantly increased about 3.3- and 3.7-fold over the baseline values at predose followed by the treatment of probenecid alone or in combination with furosemide respectively. In comparison with the furosemide-alone group, the Cmax and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) up to 12 hours of kynurenic acid were significantly increased about 2.4- and 2.5-fold by probenecid alone, and 2.7- and 2.9-fold by probenecid plus furosemide, respectively. The increases in Cmax and AUC of plasma kynurenic acid by probenecid are comparable to the increases of furosemide Cmax and AUC reported previously. Additionally, the plasma concentrations of xanthurenic acid, indo-3-acetic acid, pantothenic acid, and p-cresol sulfate, but not bile acids, were also significantly elevated by probenecid treatments. The magnitude of effect size analysis for known potential endogenous biomarkers demonstrated that kynurenic acid in the plasma offers promise as a superior addition for early DDI assessment involving OAT1/3 inhibition. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This article reports that probenecid, an organic anion transporter (OAT) 1 and OAT3 inhibitor, significantly increased the plasma concentrations of kynurenic acid and several uremic acids in human subjects. Of those, the increases of plasma kynurenic acid exposure are comparable to the increases of furosemide by OAT1/3 inhibition. Effect size analysis for known potential endogenous biomarkers revealed that plasma kynurenic acid is a superior addition for early drug-drug interaction assessment involving OAT1/3 inhibition.

Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptide 2B1 (OATP2B1) Genetic Variants: In Vitro Functional Characterization and Association With Circulating Concentrations of Endogenous Substrates. Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:713567. [PMID: 34594217 PMCID: PMC8476882 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.713567] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Organic anion transporting polypeptide 2B1 (OATP2B1, gene SLCO2B1) is an uptake transporter that is thought to determine drug disposition and in particular, the oral absorption of medications. At present, the clinical relevance of SLCO2B1 genetic variation on pharmacokinetics is poorly understood. We sought to determine the functional activity of 5 of the most common missense OATP2B1 variants (c.76_84del, c.601G>A, c.917G>A, c.935G>A, and c.1457C>T) and a predicted dysfunctional variant (c.332G>A) in vitro. Furthermore, we measured the basal plasma concentrations of endogenous OATP2B1 substrates, namely estrone sulfate, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), pregnenolone sulfate, coproporphyrin I (CPI), and CPIII, and assessed their relationships with SLCO2B1 genotypes in 93 healthy participants. Compared to reference OATP2B1, the transport activities of the c.332G>A, c.601G>A and c.1457C>T variants were reduced among the substrates examined (estrone sulfate, DHEAS, CPI, CPIII and rosuvastatin), although there were substrate-dependent effects. Lower transport function of OATP2B1 variants could be explained by diminished cell surface expression. Other OATP2B1 variants (c.76-84del, c.917G>A and c.935G>A) had similar activity to the reference transporter. In the clinical cohort, the SLCO2B1 c.935G>A allele was associated with both higher plasma CPI (42%) and CPIII (31%) concentrations, while SLCO2B1 c.917G>A was linked to lower plasma CPIII by 28% after accounting for the effects of age, sex, and SLCO1B1 genotypes. No association was observed between SLCO2B1 variant alleles and estrone sulfate or DHEAS plasma concentrations, however 45% higher plasma pregnenolone sulfate level was associated with SLCO2B1 c.1457C>T. Taken together, we found that the impacts of OATP2B1 variants on transport activities in vitro were not fully aligned with their associations to plasma concentrations of endogenous substrates in vivo. Additional studies are required to determine whether circulating endogenous substrates reflect OATP2B1 activity.

Abstract
A previous study in 356 healthy Finnish volunteers showed that glycochenodeoxycholate 3‐O‐glucuronide (GCDCA‐3G) and glycodeoxycholate 3‐O‐glucuronide (GDCA‐3G) are promising biomarkers of organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1). In the same cohort, we now evaluated the performances of two other OATP1B1 biomarkers, coproporphyrin I (CPI) and III (CPIII), and compared them with GCDCA‐3G and GDCA‐3G. Based on decreased (*5 and *15) and increased (*14 and *20) function SLCO1B1 haplotypes, we stratified the participants to poor, decreased, normal, increased, and highly increased OATP1B1 function groups. Fasting plasma CPI concentration was 68% higher in the poor (95% confidence interval, 44%, 97%; P = 1.74 × 10−10), 7% higher in the decreased (0%, 15%; P = 0.0385), 10% lower in the increased (3%, 18%; P = 0.0087), and 23% lower in the highly increased (1%, 40%; P = 0.0387) function group than in the normal function group. CPIII concentration was 27% higher (7%, 51%; P = 0.0071) in the poor function group than in the normal function group. CPI and CPIII detected poor OATP1B1 function with areas under the precision‐recall curve (AUPRC) of 0.388 (95% confidence interval, 0.197, 0.689) and 0.0798 (0.0485, 0.203), and receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.888 (0.851, 0.919) and 0.731 (0.682, 0.776). The AUPRC and AUROC of GCDCA‐3G were, however, 0.389 (0.258, 0.563) and 0.100 (−0.0046, 0.204; P = 0.0610) larger than those of CPI, and 0.697 (0.555, 0.831) and 0.257 (0.141, 0.373; P < 0.0001) larger than those of CPIII. In conclusion, these data indicate that plasma CPI outperforms CPIII in detecting altered OATP1B1 function, but GCDCA‐3G is an even more sensitive OATP1B1 biomarker than CPI.

Abstract
Background and Objective A novel cocktail containing four substrates of key drug transporters was previously optimized to eliminate mutual drug–drug interactions between the probes digoxin (P-glycoprotein substrate), furosemide (organic anion transporter 1/3), metformin (organic cation transporter 2, multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 1/2-K), and rosuvastatin (organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1/3, breast cancer resistance protein). This clinical trial investigated the effects of four commonly employed drug transporter inhibitors on cocktail drug pharmacokinetics. Methods In a randomized open-label crossover trial in 45 healthy male subjects, treatment groups received the cocktail with or without single oral doses of rifampin, verapamil, cimetidine or probenecid. Concentrations of the probe drugs in serial plasma samples and urine fractions were measured by validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assays to assess systemic exposure. Results The results were generally in accordance with known in vitro and/or clinical drug–drug interaction data. Single-dose rifampin increased rosuvastatin area under the plasma concentration–time curve up to the last quantifiable concentration (AUC0–tz) by 248% and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) by 1025%. Probenecid increased furosemide AUC0–tz by 172% and Cmax by 23%. Cimetidine reduced metformin renal clearance by 26%. The effect of single-dose verapamil on digoxin systemic exposure was less than expected from multiple-dose studies (AUC0–tz unaltered, Cmax + 22%). Conclusions Taking all the interaction results together, the transporter cocktail is considered to be validated as a sensitive and specific tool for evaluating transporter-mediated drug–drug interactions in drug development.

Abstract
Membrane transporters play an important role in the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of xenobiotic substrates, as well as endogenous compounds. The evaluation of transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is an important consideration during the drug development process and can guide the safe use of polypharmacy regimens in clinical practice. In recent years, several endogenous substrates of drug transporters have been identified as potential biomarkers for predicting changes in drug transport function and the potential for DDIs associated with drug candidates in early phases of drug development. These biomarker-driven investigations have been applied in both preclinical and clinical studies and proposed as a predictive strategy that can be supplanted in order to conduct prospective DDIs trials. Here we provide an overview of this rapidly emerging field, with particular emphasis on endogenous biomarkers recently proposed for clinically relevant uptake transporters.

Abstract
With the rapid progress in pharmaceutical experiments and clinical investigations, extensive knowledge of drug transporters (DTs) has accumulated, which is valuable data for the understanding of drug metabolism and disposition. However, such data is largely dispersed in the literature, which hampers its utility and significantly limits its possibility for comprehensive analysis. A variety of databases have, therefore, been constructed to provide DT-related data, and they were reviewed in this study. First, several knowledge bases providing data regarding clinically important drugs and their corresponding transporters were discussed, which constituted the most important resources of DT-centered data. Second, some databases describing the general transporters and their functional families were reviewed. Third, various databases offering transporter information as part of their entire data collection were described. Finally, customized database functions that are available to facilitate DT-related research were discussed. This review provided an overview of the whole collection of DT-related databases, which might facilitate research on precision medicine and rational drug use. Significance Statement A collection of well-established databases related to DTs were comprehensively reviewed, which were organized according to their importance in drug ADME research. These databases could collectively contribute to the research on rational drug use.

Abstract
Drug-drug interactions mediated by transporters are a serious clinical concern hence a tremendous amount of work has been done on the characterization of the transporter-mediated proteins in humans and animals. The underlying mechanism for the transporter-mediated drug-drug interaction is the induction or inhibition of the transporter which is involved in the cellular uptake and efflux of drugs. Transporter of the brain, liver, kidney, and intestine are major determinants that alter the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion profile of drugs, and considerably influence the pharmacokinetic profile of drugs. As a consequence, transporter proteins may affect the therapeutic activity and safety of drugs. However, mounting evidence suggests that many drugs change the activity and/or expression of the transporter protein. Accordingly, evaluation of drug interaction during the drug development process is an integral part of risk assessment and regulatory requirements. Therefore, this review will highlight the clinical significance of the transporter, their role in disease, possible cause underlying the drug-drug interactions using analytical tools, and update on the regulatory requirement. The recent in-silico approaches which emphasize the advancement in the discovery of drug-drug interactions are also highlighted in this review. Besides, we discuss several endogenous biomarkers that have shown to act as substrates for many transporters, which could be potent determinants to find the drug-drug interactions mediated by transporters. Transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions are taken into consideration in the drug approval process therefore we also provided the extrapolated decision trees from in-vitro to in-vivo, which may trigger the follow-up to clinical studies.

Abstract
Organic Cation Transporter 1 (OCT1, gene symbol: SLC22A1) is predominately expressed in human liver, localized in the basolateral membrane of hepatocytes and facilitates the uptake of endogenous compounds (e.g. serotonin, acetylcholine, thiamine), and widely prescribed drugs (e.g. metformin, fenoterol, morphine). Furthermore, exogenous compounds such as MPP+, ASP+ and Tetraethylammonium can be used as prototypic substrates to study the OCT1-mediated transport in vitro. Single-transfected cell lines recombinantly overexpressing OCT1 (e.g., HEK-OCT1) were established to study OCT1-mediated uptake and to evaluate transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions in vitro. Furthermore, double-transfected cell models simultaneously overexpressing basolaterally localized OCT1 together with an apically localized export protein have been established. Most of these cell models are based on polarized grown MDCK cells and can be used to analyze transcellular transport, mimicking the transport processes e.g. during the hepatobiliary elimination of drugs. Multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 1 (MATE1, gene symbol: SLC47A1) and the ATP-driven efflux pump P-glycoprotein (P-gp, gene symbol: ABCB1) are both expressed in the canalicular membrane of human hepatocytes and are described as transporters of organic cations. OCT1 and MATE1 have an overlapping substrate spectrum, indicating an important interplay of both transport proteins during the hepatobiliary elimination of drugs. Due to the important role of OCT1 for the transport of endogenous compounds and drugs, in vitro cell systems are important for the determination of the substrate spectrum of OCT1, the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of polarized transport, and the investigation of potential drug-drug interactions. Therefore, the aim of this review article is to summarize the current knowledge on cell systems recombinantly overexpressing human OCT1.

Endogenous Coproporphyrin I and III are Altered in Multidrug Resistance-Associated Protein 2-Deficient (TR -) Rats. J Pharm Sci 2020; 110:404-411. [PMID: 33058892 DOI: 10.1016/j.xphs.2020.10.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2020] [Revised: 10/05/2020] [Accepted: 10/08/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Recent studies have focused on coproporphyrin (CP)-I and CP-III (CPs) as endogenous biomarkers for organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs). Previous data showed that CPs are also substrates of multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP/Mrp) 2 and 3. This study was designed to examine the impact of loss of Mrp2 function on the routes of excretion of endogenous CPs in wild-type (WT) Wistar compared to Mrp2-deficient TR- rats. To exclude possible confounding effects of rat Oatps, the transport of CPs was investigated in Oatp-overexpressing HeLa cells. Results indicated that CPs are substrates of rodent Oatp1b2, and that CP-III is a substrate of Oatp2b1. Quantitative targeted absolute proteomic (QTAP) analysis revealed no differences in Oatps, but an expected significant increase in Mrp3 protein levels in TR- compared to WT rat livers. CP-I and CP-III concentrations measured by LC-MS/MS were elevated in TR- compared to WT rat liver, while CP-I and CP-III estimated biliary clearance was decreased 75- and 840-fold in TR- compared to WT rats, respectively. CP-III concentrations were decreased 14-fold in the feces of TR- compared to WT rats, but differences in CP-I were not significant. In summary, the disposition of CPs was markedly altered by loss of Mrp2 and increased Mrp3 function as measured in TR- rats.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of endogenous glycochenodeoxycholate and glycodeoxycholate 3-O-glucuronides (GCDCA-3G and GDCA-3G) as substrates for organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1) in humans. We measured fasting levels of plasma GCDCA-3G and GDCA-3G using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in 356 healthy volunteers. The mean plasma levels of both compounds were ~ 50% lower in women than in men (P = 2.25 × 10-18 and P = 4.73 × 10-9 ). In a microarray-based genome-wide association study, the SLCO1B1 rs4149056 (c.521T>C, p.Val174Ala) variation showed the strongest association with the plasma GCDCA-3G (P = 3.09 × 10-30 ) and GDCA-3G (P = 1.60 × 10-17 ) concentrations. The mean plasma concentration of GCDCA-3G was 9.2-fold (P = 8.77 × 10-31 ) and that of GDCA-3G was 6.4-fold (P = 2.45x10-13 ) higher in individuals with the SLCO1B1 c.521C/C genotype than in those with the c.521T/T genotype. No other variants showed independent genome-wide significant associations with GCDCA-3G or GDCA-3G. GCDCA-3G was highly efficacious in detecting the SLCO1B1 c.521C/C genotype with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.996 (P < 0.0001). The sensitivity (98-99%) and specificity (100%) peaked at a cutoff value of 180 ng/mL for men and 90 ng/mL for women. In a haplotype-based analysis, SLCO1B1*5 and *15 were associated with reduced, and SLCO1B1*1B, *14, and *35 with increased OATP1B1 function. In vitro, both GCDCA-3G and GDCA-3G showed at least 6 times higher uptake by OATP1B1 than OATP1B3 or OATP2B1. These data indicate that the hepatic uptake of GCDCA-3G and GDCA-3G is predominantly mediated by OATP1B1. GCDCA-3G, in particular, is a highly sensitive and specific OATP1B1 biomarker in humans.

Abstract
The disposition of a drug is driven by various processes, such as drug metabolism, drug transport, glomerular filtration and body composition. These processes are subject to developmental changes reflecting growth and maturation along the paediatric continuum. However, knowledge gaps exist on these changes and their clinical impact. Filling these gaps may aid better prediction of drug disposition and creation of age-appropriate dosing guidelines. We present innovative approaches to study these developmental changes in relation to drug metabolism and transport. First, analytical methods such as including liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for proteomic analyses allow quantitation of the expressions of a wide variety of proteins, e.g. membrane transporters, in a small piece of organ tissue. The latter is specifically important for paediatric research, where tissues are scarcely available. Second, innovative study designs using radioactive labelled microtracers allowed study-without risk for the child-of the oral bioavailability of compounds used as markers for certain drug metabolism pathways. Third, the use of modelling and simulation to support dosing recommendations for children is supported by both the European Medicines Agency and the US Food and Drug Administration. This may even do away with the need for a paediatric trial. Physiologically based pharmacokinetics models, which include age-specific physiological information are, therefore, increasingly being used, not only to aid paediatric drug development but also to improve existing drug therapies.

Abstract
It is unclear whether niacin nutritional status is a target for improvement of long-term outcome after renal transplantation. The 24-h urinary excretion of N1-methylnicotinamide (N1-MN), as a biomarker of niacin status, has previously been shown to be negatively associated with premature mortality in kidney transplant recipients (KTR). However, recent evidence implies higher enzymatic conversion of N1-MN to N1-methyl-2-pyridone-5-carboxamide (2Py) in KTR, therefore the need exists for interpretation of both N1-MN and 2Py excretion for niacin status assessment. We assessed niacin status by means of the 24-h urinary excretion of the sum of N1-MN and 2Py (N1-MN + 2Py), and its associations with risk of premature mortality in KTR. N1-MN + 2Py excretion was measured in a longitudinal cohort of 660 KTR with LS-MS/MS. Prospective associations of N1-MN + 2Py excretion were investigated with Cox regression analyses. Median N1-MN + 2Py excretion was 198.3 (155.9–269.4) µmol/day. During follow-up of 5.4 (4.7–6.1) years, 143 KTR died, of whom 40 due to an infectious disease. N1-MN + 2Py excretion was negatively associated with risk of all-cause mortality (HR 0.61; 95% CI 0.47–0.79; p < 0.001), and infectious mortality specifically (HR 0.47; 95% CI 0.29–0.75; p = 0.002), independent of potential confounders. Secondary analyses showed effect modification of hs-CRP on the negative prospective association of N1-MN + 2Py excretion, and sensitivity analyses showed negative and independent associations of N1-MN and 2Py excretion with risk of all-cause mortality separately. These findings add further evidence to niacin status as a target for nutritional strategies for improvement of long-term outcome in KTR.

Abstract
Epidemiologic and genomic studies have progressively improved our understanding of the causation of hypertension and the complex relationship with diet and environment. The majority of Mendelian forms of syndromic hypotension and hypertension (HTN) have all been linked to mutations in genes whose encoded proteins regulate salt-water balance in the kidney, supporting the primacy of the kidneys in blood pressure regulation. There are more than 1,477 single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with blood pressure and hypertension and the challenge is establishing a causal role for these variants. Hypertension is a complex multifactorial phenotype and it is likely to be influenced by multiple factors including interactions between diet and lifestyle factors, microbiome, and epigenetics. Given the finite genetic variability that is possible in humans, it is likely that incremental gains from single marker analyses have now plateaued and a greater leap in our understanding of the genetic basis of disease will come from integration of other omics and the interacting environmental factors. In this review, we focus on emerging results from the microbiome and metabolomics and discuss how leveraging these findings may facilitate a deeper understanding of the interrelationships between genomics, diet, and microbial ecology in humans in the causation of essential hypertension.

Abstract
Paclitaxel has been considered to cause OATP1B-mediated drug-drug interactions at therapeutic doses; however, its clinical relevance has not been demonstrated. This study aimed to elucidate in vivo inhibition potency of paclitaxel against OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 using endogenous OATP1B biomarkers. Paclitaxel is an inhibitor of OATP1B1 and OATP1B3, with Ki of 0.579 ± 0.107 and 5.29 ± 3.87 μM, respectively. Preincubation potentiated its inhibitory effect on both OATP1B1 and OATP1B3, with Ki of 0.154 ± 0.031 and 0.624 ± 0.183 μM, respectively. Ten patients with non-small cell lung cancer who received 200 mg/m2 of paclitaxel by a 3-hour infusion were recruited. Plasma concentrations of 10 endogenous OATP1B biomarkers-namely, coproporphyrin I, coproporphyrin III, glycochenodeoxycholate-3-sulfate, glycochenodeoxycholate-3-glucuronide, glycodeoxycholate-3-sulfate, glycodeoxycholate-3-glucuronide, lithocholate-3-sulfate, glycolithocholate-3-sulfate, taurolithocholate-3-sulfate, and chenodeoxycholate-24-glucuronide-were determined in the patients with non-small cell lung cancer on the day before paclitaxel administration and after the end of paclitaxel infusion for 7 hours. Paclitaxel increased the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of the endogenous biomarkers 2- to 4-fold, although a few patients did not show any increment in the AUC ratios of lithocholate-3-sulfate, glycolithocholate-3-sulfate, and taurolithocholate-3-sulfate. Therapeutic doses of paclitaxel for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (200 mg/m2) will cause significant OATP1B1 inhibition during and at the end of the infusion. This is the first demonstration that endogenous OATP1B biomarkers could serve as surrogate biomarkers in patients. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Endogenous biomarkers can address practical and ethical issues in elucidating transporter-mediated drug-drug interaction (DDI) risks of anticancer drugs clinically. We could elucidate a significant increment of the plasma concentrations of endogenous OATP1B biomarkers after a 3-hour infusion (200 mg/m2) of paclitaxel, a time-dependent inhibitor of OATP1B, in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. The endogenous OATP1B biomarkers are useful to assess the possibility of OATP1B-mediated DDIs in patients and help in appropriately designing a dosing schedule to avoid the DDIs.

Urinary Excretion of N1-methyl-2-pyridone-5-carboxamide and N1-methylnicotinamide in Renal Transplant Recipients and Donors. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9020437. [PMID: 32041099 PMCID: PMC7074074 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9020437] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2019] [Revised: 01/28/2020] [Accepted: 02/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
N1-methylnicotinamide (N1-MN) and N1-methyl-2-pyridone-5-carboxamide (2Py) are successive end products of NAD+ catabolism. N1-MN excretion in 24-h urine is the established biomarker of niacin nutritional status, and recently shown to be reduced in renal transplant recipients (RTR). However, it is unclear whether 2Py excretion is increased in this population, and, if so, whether a shift in excretion of N1-MN to 2Py can be attributed to kidney function. Hence, we assessed the 24-h urinary excretion of 2Py and N1-MN in RTR and kidney donors before and after kidney donation, and investigated associations of the urinary ratio of 2Py to N1-MN (2Py/N1-MN) with kidney function, and independent determinants of urinary 2Py/N1-MN in RTR. The urinary excretion of 2Py and N1-MN was measured in a cross-sectional cohort of 660 RTR and 275 healthy kidney donors with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Linear regression analyses were used to investigate associations and determinants of urinary 2Py/N1-MN. Median 2Py excretion was 178.1 (130.3–242.8) μmol/day in RTR, compared to 155.6 (119.6–217.6) μmol/day in kidney donors (p < 0.001). In kidney donors, urinary 2Py/N1-MN increased significantly after kidney donation (4.0 ± 1.4 to 5.2 ± 1.5, respectively; p < 0.001). Smoking, alcohol consumption, diabetes, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were identified as independent determinants of urinary 2Py/N1-MN in RTR. In conclusion, the 24-h urinary excretion of 2Py is higher in RTR than in kidney donors, and urinary 2Py/N1-MN increases after kidney donation. As our data furthermore reveal strong associations of urinary 2Py/N1-MN with kidney function, interpretation of both N1-MN and 2Py excretion may be recommended for assessment of niacin nutritional status in conditions of impaired kidney function.

Abstract
Clinical reports on transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions (TP-DDIs) have rapidly accumulated and regulatory guidance/guidelines recommend that sponsors consider performing quantitative prediction of TP-DDI risks in the process of drug development. In vitro experiments for characterizing the function of drug transporters have been established and various parameters such as the inhibition constant (Ki) of drugs and the intrinsic uptake/efflux clearance for a certain transporter can be obtained. However, many reports have indicated large discrepancies between the parameters estimated from in vitro experiments and those rationally explaining drug pharmacokinetics. Thus, it is essential to evaluate directly the function of each transporter isoform in vivo in humans. At present, several transporter substrate drugs and endogenous compounds have been recognized as probe substrates for a specific transporter and transporter function was evaluated by monitoring the plasma and urine concentration of those probes; however, few compounds specifically transported via a single transporter isoform have been found. For monitoring the intraorgan concentration of drugs, positron emission tomography can be a powerful tool and clinical examples for quantification of in vivo transporter function have been published. In this review, novel methodologies for in vivo phenotyping of transporter function are summarized.

Abstract
To address the most appropriate endogenous biomarker for drug–drug interaction risk assessment, eight healthy subjects received an organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B (OATP1B) inhibitor (rifampicin, 150, 300, and 600 mg), and a probe drug cocktail (atorvastatin, pitavastatin, rosuvastatin, and valsartan). In addition to coproporphyrin I, a widely studied OATP1B biomarker, we identified at least 4 out of 28 compounds (direct bilirubin, glycochenodeoxycholate‐3‐glucuronide, glycochenodeoxycholate‐3‐sulfate, and hexadecanedioate) that presented good sensitivity and dynamic range in terms of the rifampicin dose‐dependent change in area under the plasma concentration‐time curve ratio (AUCR). Their suitability as OATP1B biomarkers was also supported by the good correlation of AUC0‐24h between the endogenous compounds and the probe drugs, and by nonlinear regression analysis (AUCR−1 vs. rifampicin plasma Cmax (maximum total concentration in plasma)) to yield an estimate of the inhibition constant of rifampicin. These endogenous substrates can complement existing OATP1B‐mediated drug–drug interaction risk assessment approaches based on agency guidelines in early clinical trials.

Urinary Excretion of N1-Methylnicotinamide, as a Biomarker of Niacin Status, and Mortality in Renal Transplant Recipients. J Clin Med 2019; 8:jcm8111948. [PMID: 31726722 PMCID: PMC6912198 DOI: 10.3390/jcm8111948] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2019] [Revised: 11/08/2019] [Accepted: 11/11/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Renal transplant recipients (RTR) commonly suffer from vitamin B6 deficiency and its functional consequences add to an association with poor long-term outcome. It is unknown whether niacin status is affected in RTR and, if so, whether this affects clinical outcomes, as vitamin B6 is a cofactor in nicotinamide biosynthesis. We compared 24-h urinary excretion of N1-methylnicotinamide (N1-MN) as a biomarker of niacin status in RTR with that in healthy controls, in relation to dietary intake of tryptophan and niacin as well as vitamin B6 status, and investigated whether niacin status is associated with the risk of premature all-cause mortality in RTR. In a prospective cohort of 660 stable RTR with a median follow-up of 5.4 (4.7-6.1) years and 275 healthy kidney donors, 24-h urinary excretion of N1-MN was measured with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry LC-MS/MS. Dietary intake was assessed by food frequency questionnaires. Prospective associations of N1-MN excretion with mortality were investigated by Cox regression analyses. Median N1-MN excretion was 22.0 (15.8-31.8) μmol/day in RTR, compared to 41.1 (31.6-57.2) μmol/day in healthy kidney donors (p < 0.001). This difference was independent of dietary intake of tryptophan (1059 ± 271 and 1089 ± 308 mg/day; p = 0.19), niacin (17.9 ± 5.2 and 19.2 ± 6.2 mg/day; p < 0.001), plasma vitamin B6 (29.0 (17.5-49.5), and 42.0 (29.8-60.3) nmol/L; p < 0.001), respectively. N1-MN excretion was inversely associated with the risk of all-cause mortality in RTR (HR 0.57; 95% CI 0.45-0.71; p < 0.001), independent of potential confounders. RTR excrete less N1-MN in 24-h urine than healthy controls, and our data suggest that this difference cannot be attributed to lower dietary intake of tryptophan and niacin, nor vitamin B6 status. Importantly, lower 24-h urinary excretion of N1-MN is independently associated with a higher risk of premature all-cause mortality in RTR.

Abstract
Many drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are based on alterations of the plasma concentrations of a victim drug due to another drug causing inhibition and/or induction of the metabolism or transporter-mediated disposition of the victim drug. In the worst case, such interactions cause more than tenfold increases or decreases in victim drug exposure, with potentially life-threatening consequences. There has been tremendous progress in the predictability and modeling of DDIs. Accordingly, the combination of modeling approaches and clinical studies is the current mainstay in evaluation of the pharmacokinetic DDI risks of drugs. In this paper, we focus on the methodology of clinical studies on DDIs involving drug metabolism or transport. We specifically present considerations related to general DDI study designs, recommended enzyme and transporter index substrates and inhibitors, pharmacogenetic perspectives, index drug cocktails, endogenous substrates, limited sampling strategies, physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling, complex DDIs, methodological pitfalls, and interpretation of DDI information.

Abstract
The present study examined the significance of enterohepatic circulation and the effect of rifampicin [an inhibitor of organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1B (OATP1B)] on the plasma concentrations of bile acid-O-sulfates (glycochenodeoxycholate-O-sulfate, lithocholate-O-sulfate, glycolithocholate-O-sulfate, and taurolithocholate-O-sulfate) in monkeys and human liver-transplanted chimeric mice (PXB mouse). Rifampicin significantly increased the area under the curve of bile acid-O-sulfates in monkeys (13-69 times) and PXB mice (13-25 times) without bile flow diversion. Bile flow diversion reduced the concentration of plasma bile acid-O-sulfates under control conditions in monkeys and the concentration of plasma glycochenodeoxycholate-O-sulfate in PXB mice. It also diminished diurnal variation of plasma lithocholate-O-sulfate, glycolithocholate-O-sulfate, and taurolithocholate-O-sulfate in PXB mice under control conditions. Bile flow diversion did not affect the plasma concentration of bile acid-O-sulfates in monkeys and PXB mice treated with rifampicin. Plasma coproporphyrin I and III levels were constant in monkeys throughout the study, even with bile flow diversion. This study demonstrated that bile acid-O-sulfates are endogenous OATP1B biomarkers in monkeys and PXB mice. Enterohepatic circulation can affect the baseline levels of plasma bile acid-O-sulfates and modify the effect of OATP1B inhibition.

Abstract
Drug transporters play an essential role in disposition and effects of multiple drugs. Plasma concentrations of the victim drug can be modified by drug-drug interactions occurring in enterocytes (e.g., P-glycoprotein), hepatocytes (e.g., organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1)), and/or renal proximal tubular cells (e.g., organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2)/multidrug and toxin extrusion 1 and 2-K (MATE1/MATE2-K)). In addition, transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions can cause altered local tissue concentrations and possibly altered effects/toxicity (e.g., in liver and kidneys). During drug development, there is now an intensive in vitro screening of new molecular entities as transporter substrates and inhibitors, followed if necessary by drug-drug interaction studies in healthy volunteers. Nevertheless, there are still unresolved issues, which will also be discussed in this review article (e.g., the clinical significance of transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions of particular relevance to the elderly who are prescribed multiple drugs, with additional impaired liver or kidney function, and the extent to which medication safety in real life could be improved by a reduction of those interactions).

Abstract
The anticholinergic drug trospium is secreted into urine and, to a smaller extent, into bile. Chemically, it is an organic cation, and it is a substrate of the uptake transporters OCT1 and OCT2 as well as for the export proteins MATE1 and MATE2-K as determined in uptake studies using HEK293 cells. So far, neither MATE-mediated export nor the interplay of OCT-mediated uptake and MATE-mediated export have been investigated. Therefore, we used polarized monolayers of single- and double-transfected MDCKII cells (MDCK-OCT1, MDCK-OCT2, MDCK-MATE1, MDCK-OCT1-MATE1, and MDCK-OCT2-MATE1) and the respective control cells (MDCK-Co) for transcellular transport assays. We demonstrate that the transcellular, basal-to-apical transport of trospium is significantly higher in all cell lines compared to control cells over nearly the complete concentration range tested. The transcellular transport mediated by double-transfected MDCK-OCT1-MATE1 and MDCK-OCT2-MATE1 exceeded that in the single-transfected cells (MDCK-OCT1-MATE1 vs MDCK-OCT1: 2.2-fold; MDCK-OCT1-MATE1 vs MDCK-MATE1: 1.7-fold; MDCK-OCT2-MATE1 vs MDCK-OCT2: 6.1-fold; MDCK-OCT2-MATE1 vs MDCK-MATE1: 1.8-fold at a trospium concentration of 1.0 μM; p < 0.001 each). Thus, we show that MATE1 does not only mediate the uptake of trospium into HEK293 cells but also the efflux of trospium out of polarized MDCKII-cells. Furthermore, our results indicate that OCT1 or OCT2 as uptake transporters and MATE1 as an export protein contribute to the transcellular transport of trospium at concentrations normally reached during trospium therapy. These data suggest that both, OCT-mediated uptake as well as MATE1-mediated efflux may contribute to trospium renal and biliary elimination.

Abstract
Plasma pyridoxic acid (PDA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) were recently identified as novel endogenous biomarkers of organic anion transporter (OAT) 1/3 function in monkeys. Consequently, this clinical study assessed the dynamic changes and utility of plasma PDA and HVA as an initial evaluation of OAT1/3 inhibition in early-phase drug development. The study was designed as a single-dose randomized, three-phase, crossover study; 14 Indian healthy volunteers received probenecid (PROB) (1000 mg orally) alone, furosemide (FSM) (40 mg orally) alone, or FSM 1 hour after receiving PROB (40 and 1000 mg orally) on days 1, 8, and 15, respectively. PDA and HVA plasma concentrations remained stable over time in the prestudy and FSM groups. Administration of PROB significantly increased the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of PDA by 3.1-fold (dosed alone; P < 0.05), and 3.2-fold (coadministered with FSM; P < 0.01), compared with the prestudy and FSM groups, respectively. The corresponding increase in HVA AUC was 1.8-fold (P > 0.05) and 2.1-fold (P < 0.05), respectively. The increases in PDA AUC are similar to those in FSM AUC, whereas those of HVA are smaller (3.1-3.2 and 1.8-2.1 vs. 3.3, respectively). PDA and HVA renal clearance (CL R) values were decreased by PROB to smaller extents compared with FSM (0.35-0.37 and 0.67-0.73 vs. 0.23, respectively). These data demonstrate that plasma PDA is a promising endogenous biomarker for OAT1/3 function and that its plasma exposure responds in a similar fashion to FSM upon OAT1/3 inhibition by PROB. The magnitude and variability of response in PDA AUC and CL R values between subjects is more favorable relative to HVA.

Comprehensive Evaluation of the Utility of 20 Endogenous Molecules as Biomarkers of OATP1B Inhibition Compared with Rosuvastatin and Coproporphyrin I. J Pharmacol Exp Ther 2018; 368:125-135. [PMID: 30314992 DOI: 10.1124/jpet.118.253062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2018] [Accepted: 10/09/2018] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Endogenous biomarkers can be clinically relevant tools for the assessment of transporter function in vivo and corresponding drug-drug interactions (DDIs). The aim of this study was to perform systematic evaluation of plasma data obtained for 20 endogenous molecules in the same healthy subjects (n = 8-12) in the absence and presence of organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) inhibitor rifampicin (600 mg, single dose). The extent of rifampicin DDI magnitude [the ratio of the plasma concentration-time area under the curve (AUCR)], estimated fraction transported (fT), and baseline variability was compared across the biomarkers and relative to rosuvastatin and coproporphyrin I (CPI). Out of the 20 biomarkers investigated tetradecanedioate (TDA), hexadecanedioate (HDA), glycocholic acid, glycodeoxycholic acid (GDCA), taurodeoxycholic acid (TDCA), and coproporphyrin III (CPIII) showed the high AUCR (2.1-8.5) and fT (0.5-0.76) values, indicative of substantial OATP1B-mediated transport. A significant positive correlation was observed between the individual GDCA and TDCA AUCRs and the magnitude of rosuvastatin-rifampicin interaction. The CPI and CPIII AUCRs were significantly correlated, but no clear trend was established with the rosuvastatin AUCR. Moderate interindividual variability (15%-62%) in baseline exposure and AUCR was observed for TDA, HDA, and CPIII. In contrast, bile acids demonstrated high interindividual variability (69%-113%) and significant decreases in baseline plasma concentrations during the first 4 hours. This comprehensive analysis in the same individuals confirms that none of the biomarkers supersede CPI in the evaluation of OATP1B-mediated DDI risk. Monitoring of CPI and GDCA/TDCA may be beneficial for dual OATP1B/sodium-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide inhibitors with consideration of challenges associated with large inter- and intraindividual variability observed for bile acids. Benefit of monitoring combined biomarkers (CPI, one bile acid and one fatty acid) needs to be confirmed with larger data sets and against multiple OATP1B clinical probes and perpetrators.
