Bile acid transport

  • J Pharm Sci. 2017;106:2412-2419. Identification of bile acids responsible for inhibiting the Bile Salt Export Pump, leading to bile acid accumulation and cell toxicity in rat hepatocytes. Oizumi K, Sekine S, Fukagai M, Susukida T, Ito K. PubMed This study measured the accumulation of 12 bile acids in rat sandwich-cultured hepatocytes in the presence of 10 μM cyclosporine A (CsA), which inhibits BSEP, and 50 μM CsA, which further inhibits basolateral bile acid efflux transporters. The accumulation of all bile acids was observed with 10 μM CsA. Only chenodeoxycholic acid, deoxycholic acid (DCA), and glyco-DCA induced toxicity with 10 μM CsA. Taurolithocholic acid, glyco-CDCA, and glycocholic acid increased hepatocyte toxicity with 50 μM CsA without additional accumulation.

Transporter expression in liver diseases

  • J Pharm Sci. 2017;106:2282-2294. Effect of liver disease on hepatic transporter expression and function. Thakkar N, Slizgi JR, Brouwer KLR. PubMed Liver disease alter the disposition of xenobiotics and endogenous substances. Regulatory agencies recommend to study the effect of liver disease on drugs under development and recent alterations of the expression and function of hepatobiliary transport proteins in liver disease have been published. This review summarizes recent developments in the field, which may have implications for understanding altered disposition, safety, and efficacy of new and existing drugs. Expression and function of hepatic transporters in cholestasis, hepatitis C infection, hepatocellular carcinoma, human immunodeficiency virus infection, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and primary biliary cirrhosis are reviewed. In the absence of clinical data, nonclinical information in animal models is presented.

Imaging

  • J Pharm Sci. 2017;106(9):2558-2565. Possible role of Organic Cation Transporters in the distribution of [11C]Sulpiride, a dopamine D2 receptor antagonist. Takano H, Ito S, Zhang X, Ito H, Zhang MR, Suzuki H, Maeda K, Kusuhara H, Suhara T, Sugiyama Y. PubMed The authors synthesized [11C]sulpiride (atypical antipsychotic drug) as a positron emission tomography probe for investigating the drug distribution in the human body. Whole-body positron emission tomography imaging demonstrates that [11C]sulpiride accumulate exceedingly in the bladder, followed by liver, gall bladder, and kidney 30 min after the injection. In vitro experiments evidence that sulpiride is a substrate of hOCT1, hOCT2, hMATE1, and hMATE2-K.

Transporter regulation

  • PLoS One. 2017;12:e0180257. Organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B3 can form homo- and hetero-oligomers. Zhang Y, Boxberger KH1, Hagenbuch B. PubMed Organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B3 can form homo- and hetero-oligomers with OATP1B1 and NTCP, suggesting a potential co-regulation of the involved transporters.
  • Eur J Pharm Sci. 2017;106:302-312. β2-adrenergic receptor-mediated in vitro regulation of human hepatic drug transporter expression by epinephrine. Mayati A, Moreau A, Denizot C2, Stieger B, Parmentier Y, Fardel O. PubMed The catecholamine epinephrine is known to repress expression of hepatic drug metabolizing enzymes such as cytochromes P-450. The present study determines whether epinephrine may also target expression of main hepatic drug transporters. Results indicate that epinephrine regulates in vitro expression of main hepatic drug transporters in a β2-ADR/adenylate cyclase/cAMP-dependent manner. Hepatic drug transport appears therefore as a target of the β2-adrenergic system, which may have to deserve attention for drugs interacting with β2-ADRs.
