2018 APRIL: RECENT PUBLICATIONS

Transporter regulation

  • Drug Metab Dispos. 2018;46:259-267. The phenomenon of albumin-mediated hepatic uptake of Organic Anion Transport Polypeptide substrates: prediction of the in vivo Uptake clearance from the in vitro uptake by isolated hepatocytes using a facilitated-dissociation model. Miyauchi S, Masuda M, Kim SJ, Tanaka Y, Lee KR, Iwakado S, Nemoto M, Sasaki S, Shimono K, Tanaka Y, Sugiyama Y. The authors suggest that the facilitated-dissociation model (in which the interaction of ligand-albumin complex with cell surface enhances the dissociation of that complex to provide unbound ligand for uptake to hepatocytes) is applicable to albumin-mediated hepatic uptake via organic anion transporters and hepatic uptake clearance in vivo.

  • J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2018;364:390-398. Organic Anion Transporter 2 mediates hepatic uptake of Tolbutamide, a CYP2C9 probe drug. Bi YA, Mathialagan S, Tylaska L, Fu M, Keefer J, Vildhede A, Costales C, Rodrigues AD, Varma MVS. The study evidences the role of OAT2-mediated hepatic uptake in the pharmacokinetics of tolbutamide.
