BackgroundHerb-drug interactions (HDIs) resulting from concomitant use of herbal products with clinical drugs may cause adverse reactions. Organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) and 3 (OAT3) are highly expressed in the kidney and play a key role in the renal elimination of substrate drugs. So far, little is known about the herbal extracts that could modulate OAT1 and OAT3 activities.MethodsHEK293 cells stably expressing human OAT1 (HEK-OAT1) and OAT3 (HEK-OAT3) were established and characterized. One hundred seventy-two extracts from 37 medicinal and economic plants were prepared. An initial concentration of 5 µg/ml for each extract was used to evaluate their effects on 6-carboxylfluorescein (6-CF) uptake in HEK-OAT1 and HEK-OAT3 cells. Concentration-dependent inhibition studies were conducted for those extracts with more than 50% inhibition to OAT1 and OAT3. The extract ofJuncus effusus, a well-known traditional Chinese medicine, was assessed for its effect on thein vivopharmacokinetic parameters of furosemide, a diuretic drug which is a known substrate of both OAT1 and OAT3.ResultsMore than 30% of the plant extracts at the concentration of 5 µg/ml showed strong inhibitory effect on the 6-CF uptake mediated by OAT1 (61 extracts) and OAT3 (55 extracts). Among them, three extracts for OAT1 and fourteen extracts for OAT3 were identified as strong inhibitors with IC50values being <5 µg/ml.Juncus effususshowed a strong inhibition to OAT3in vitro, and markedly altered thein vivopharmacokinetic parameters of furosemide in rats.ConclusionThe present study identified the potential interactions of medicinal and economic plants with human OAT1 and OAT3, which is helpful to predict and to avoid potential OAT1- and OAT3-mediated HDIs.

We investigated the involvement of drug transporters in the pharmacokinetics of rosmarinic acid in rats as well as the transporter-mediated drug interaction potential of rosmarinic acid in HEK293 cells overexpressing clinically important solute carrier transporters and also in rats. Intravenously injected rosmarinic acid showed bi-exponential decay and unchanged rosmarinic acid was mainly eliminated by urinary excretion, suggesting the involvement of transporters in its renal excretion. Rosmarinic acid showed organic anion transporter (OAT)1-mediated active transport with a Km of 26.5 μM and a Vmax of 69.0 pmol/min in HEK293 cells overexpressing OAT1, and the plasma concentrations of rosmarinic acid were increased by the co-injection of probenecid because of decreased renal excretion due to OAT1 inhibition. Rosmarinic acid inhibited the transport activities of OAT1, OAT3, organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B1, and OATP1B3 with IC50 values of 60.6 μM, 1.52 μM, 74.8 μM, and 91.3 μM, respectively, and the inhibitory effect of rosmarinic acid on OAT3 transport activity caused an in vivo pharmacokinetic interaction with furosemide by inhibiting its renal excretion and by increasing its plasma concentration. In conclusion, OAT1 and OAT3 are the major transporters that may regulate the pharmacokinetic properties of rosmarinic acid and may cause herb-drug interactions with rosmarinic acid, although their clinical relevance awaits further evaluation.

Salvia miltiorrhizaroot (Danshen) is widely used in Asia for its cardiovascular benefits and contains both hydrophilic phenolic acids and lipophilic tanshinones, which are believed to be responsible for its therapeutic efficacy. This review summarized the effects of these bioactive components fromS. miltiorrhizaroots on pharmacokinetics of comedicated drugs with mechanic insights regarding alterations of protein binding, enzyme activity, and transporter activity based on the published data stemming from bothin vitroandin vivohuman studies.In vitrostudies indicated that cytochrome P450 (CYP450), carboxylesterase enzyme, catechol-O-methyltransferase, organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) and OAT3, and P-glycoprotein were the major targets involved inS. miltiorrhiza-drug interactions. Lipophilic tanshinones had much more potent inhibitory effects towards CYPs activities compared to hydrophilic phenolic acids, evidenced by much lowerKivalues of the former. ClinicalS. miltiorrhiza-drug interaction studies were mainly conducted using CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 probe substrates. In addition, the effects of coexisting components on the pharmacokinetic behaviors of those noted bioactive compounds were also included herein.

ABSTRACTThe substrate potentials of antituberculosis drugs on solute carrier (SLC) transporters are not well characterized to date, despite a well-established understanding of their drug dispositions and pharmacokinetics. In this study, we investigated comprehensively the substrate potentials of the 22 currently available antituberculosis drugs for SLC family transporter-mediated uptake, usingXenopus laevisoocytes and stably transfected HEK-293 cellsin vitro. The result suggested that ethambutol, isoniazid, amoxicillin, and prothionamide act as novel substrates for the SLC transporters. In addition, in the presence of representative transporter inhibitors, the uptake of the antituberculosis drugs was markedly decreased compared with the uptake in the absence of inhibitor, suggesting involvement of the corresponding transporters. A cellular uptake study was performed, and theKmvalues of ethambutol were found to be 526.1 ± 15.6, 212.0 ± 20.1, 336.8 ± 20.1, and 455.0 ± 28 μM for organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1), OCT2, OCTN1, and OCTN2, respectively. Similarly, theKmof prothionamide was 805.8 ± 23.4 μM for OCT1, while theKmvalues of isoniazid and amoxicillin for organic anion transporter 3 (OAT3) were 233.7 ± 14.1 and 161.4 ± 10.6 μM, respectively. The estimatedin vivodrug-drug interaction indexes fromin vitrotransporter inhibition kinetics for verapamil, probenecid, and ibuprofen against ethambutol, prothionamide, isoniazid, and amoxicillin were found to show potential for clinical drug interactions. In conclusion, this is the first study that demonstrated 22 antituberculosis drug interactions with transporters. This study will be helpful for mechanistic understanding of the disposition, drug-drug interactions, and pharmacokinetics of these antituberculosis drugs.

ABSTRACTAccording to the 2012 WHO global tuberculosis (TB) report (http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/75938/1/9789241564502_eng.pdf), the death rate for tuberculosis was over 1.4 million patients in 2011, with ∼9 million new cases diagnosed. Moreover, the frequency of comorbidity with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and with diabetes is on the rise, increasing the risk of these patients for experiencing drug-drug interactions (DDIs) due to polypharmacy. Ethambutol is considered a first-line antituberculosis drug. Ethambutol is an organic cation at physiological pH, and its major metabolite, 2,2′-(ethylenediimino)dibutyric acid (EDA), is zwitterionic. Therefore, we assessed the effects of ethambutol and EDA on the function of human organic cation transporter 1 (hOCT1), hOCT2, and hOCT3 and that of EDA on organic anion transporter 1 (hOAT1) and hOAT3. Potent inhibition of hOCT1- and hOCT2-mediated transport by ethambutol (50% inhibitory concentration [IC50] = 92.6 ± 10.9 and 253.8 ± 90.8 μM, respectively) was observed. Ethambutol exhibited much weaker inhibition of hOCT3 (IC50= 4.1 ± 1.6 mM); however, significant inhibition (>80%) was observed at physiologically relevant concentrations in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract after oral dosing. EDA failed to exhibit any inhibitory effects that warranted further investigation. DDI analysis indicated a strong potential for ethambutol interaction on hOCT1 expressed in enterocytes and hepatocytes and on hOCT3 in enterocytes, which would alter absorption, distribution, and excretion of coadministered cationic drugs, suggesting thatin vivopharmacokinetic studies are necessary to confirm drug safety and efficacy. In particular, TB patients with coexisting HIV or diabetes might experience significant DDIs in situations of coadministration of ethambutol and clinical therapeutics known to be hOCT1/hOCT3 substrates (e.g., lamivudine or metformin).

Organic anion transporter 3 (OAT3) is mainly expressed at the basolateral membrane of kidney proximal tubules, and is involved in the renal elimination of various kinds of important drugs, potentially affecting drug efficacy or toxicity. Our laboratory previously reported that ubiquitin modification of OAT3 triggers the endocytosis of OAT3 from the plasma membrane to intracellular endosomes, followed by degradation. Oral anticancer drugs ixazomib, oprozomib, and delanzomib, as proteasomal inhibitors, target the ubiquitin–proteasome system in clinics. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of ixazomib, oprozomib, and delanzomib on the expression and transport activity of OAT3 and elucidated the underlying mechanisms. We showed that all three drugs significantly increased the accumulation of ubiquitinated OAT3, which was consistent with decreased intracellular 20S proteasomal activity; stimulated OAT3-mediated transport of estrone sulfate and p-aminohippuric acid; and increased OAT3 surface expression. The enhanced transport activity and OAT3 expression following drug treatment resulted from an increase in maximum transport velocity of OAT3 without altering the substrate binding affinity, and from a decreased OAT3 degradation. Together, our study discovered a novel role of anticancer agents ixazomib, oprozomib, and delanzomib in upregulating OAT3 function, unveiled the proteasome as a promising target for OAT3 regulation, and provided implication of OAT3-mediated drug–drug interactions, which should be warned against during combination therapies with proteasome inhibitor drugs.

The consumption of Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) is increasing exponentially. Many patients utilize CHMs concomitantly with prescription drugs in great frequency. Herb-drug interaction has hence become an important focus of study. Transporter-mediated herb-drug interactions have the potential to seriously influence drug efficacy and toxicity. Since organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) is crucial in renal active secretion and drug-drug interactions, the possibility of modulation of OAT1-mediated drug transport should be seriously concerned. Sixty-three clinically used CHMs were evaluated in the study. An hOAT1-overexpressing cell line was used for thein vitroCHMs screening, and the effective candidates were administered to Wistar rats to access renal hemodynamics. The regulation of OAT1 mRNA expression was also examined for further evidence of CHMs affecting OAT1-mediated transport. Among all the 63 CHMs, formulae Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan (GZ) and Chia Wei Hsiao Yao San (CW) exhibited significant inhibitions on hOAT1-mediated [3H]-PAH uptakein vitroand PAH clearance and net secretionin vivo. Moreover, GZ showed concentration-dependent manners bothin vitroandin vivo, and the decrease of rOAT1 mRNA expression indicated that GZ not only inhibited function of OAT1 but also suppressed expression of OAT1.

Background and Purpose Rivaroxaban is emerging as a viable anticoagulant for the pharmacological management of cancer associated venous thromboembolism (CA-VTE). Being eliminated via CYP3A4/2J2-mediated metabolism and organic anion transporter 3 (OAT3)/P-glycoprotein-mediated renal secretion, rivaroxaban is susceptible to drug-drug interactions (DDIs) with protein kinase inhibitors (PKIs), erlotinib and nilotinib. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling was applied to interrogate the DDIs for dose adjustment of rivaroxaban in CA-VTE. Experimental Approach The inhibitory potencies of erlotinib and nilotinib on CYP3A4/2J2-mediated metabolism of rivaroxaban were characterized. Using prototypical OAT3 inhibitor ketoconazole, in vitro OAT3 inhibition assays were optimized to ascertain the in vivo relevance of derived inhibitory constants (K). DDIs between rivaroxaban and erlotinib or nilotinib were investigated using iteratively verified PBPK model. Key Results Mechanism-based inactivation (MBI) of CYP3A4-mediated rivaroxaban metabolism by both PKIs and MBI of CYP2J2 by erlotinib were established. The importance of substrate specificity and nonspecific binding to derive OAT3-inhibitory K values of ketoconazole and nilotinib for the accurate prediction of DDIs was illustrated. When simulated rivaroxaban exposure variations with concomitant erlotinib and nilotinib therapy were evaluated using published dose-exposure equivalence metrics and bleeding risk analyses, dose reductions from 20 mg to 15 mg and 10 mg in normal and mild renal dysfunction, respectively, were warranted. Conclusion and Implications We established the PBPK-DDI platform to prospectively interrogate and manage clinically relevant interactions between rivaroxaban and PKIs in patients with underlying renal impairment. Rational dose adjustments were proposed, attesting to the capacity of PBPK modelling in facilitating precision medicine.

ABSTRACT Doravirine is a novel nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection. In vitro studies were conducted to assess the potential for drug interactions with doravirine via major drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters. Kinetic studies confirmed that cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) plays a major role in the metabolism of doravirine, with ∼20-fold-higher catalytic efficiency for CYP3A4 versus CYP3A5. Doravirine was not a substrate of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) and likely not a substrate of organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1) or OATP1B3. Doravirine was not a reversible inhibitor of major CYP enzymes (CYP1A2, -2B6, -2C8, -2C9, -2C19, -2D6, and -3A4) or of UGT1A1, nor was it a time-dependent inhibitor of CYP3A4. No induction of CYP1A2 or -2B6 was observed in cultured human hepatocytes; small increases in CYP3A4 mRNA (≤20%) were reported at doravirine concentrations of ≥10 μM but with no corresponding increase in enzyme activity. In vitro transport studies indicated a low potential for interactions with substrates of BCRP, P-glycoprotein, OATP1B1 and OATP1B3, the bile salt extrusion pump (BSEP), organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) and OAT3, organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2), and multidrug and toxin extrusion 1 (MATE1) and MATE2K proteins. In summary, these in vitro findings indicate that CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 mediate the metabolism of doravirine, although with different catalytic efficiencies. Clinical trials reported elsewhere confirm that doravirine is subject to drug-drug interactions (DDIs) via CYP3A inhibitors and inducers, but they support the notion that DDIs (either direction) are unlikely via other major drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters.

The effect of ligands for phospholipase C-coupled receptors and of protein kinase C (PKC) stimulation with phorbol ester [phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)] or 1,2-dioctanoyl- sn-glycerol on the activity of the basolateral organic anion transporter (OAT) in S2 segments of single, nonperfused rabbit proximal tubules (PT) was measured with the use of fluorescein and epifluorescence microscopy. The initial uptake rate (25 s, OAT activity) was measured in real time by using conditions similar to those found in vivo. Stimulation of PKC with PMA or 1,2-dioctanoyl- sn-glycerol led to an inhibition of OAT activity, which could be prevented by 10−7 mol/l of the PKC-specific inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide. The α1-receptor agonist phenylephrine as well as the peptide hormone bradykinin induced a reversible decrease of OAT activity, which was prevented by bisindolylmaleimide. The observed effect was not due to a decrease in the concentration of the counterion α-ketoglutarate or to impaired α-ketoglutarate recycling, because it was unchanged in the continuous presence of α-ketoglutarate or methyl succinate. We conclude that physiological stimuli can inhibit the activity of OAT in rabbit PT via PKC. The effect is not mediated by alterations in counterion availability but by a direct action on the OAT.
