Book Drug Transporters in Drug Disposition  Effects and Toxicity

Download or read book Drug Transporters in Drug Disposition Effects and Toxicity written by Xiaodong Liu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-30 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides with a comprehensive overview of the role of drug transporters in drug disposition and efficacy/toxicity, as well as drug-drug interactions and recent advances in the field. Transporters are known determinants of drug disposition and efficacy/toxicity. In general, they are divided into solute carrier (SLC) and ATP binding cassette (ABC) families, and are located along cell membranes, where they mediate drug uptake into cells and export out of cells. Drug transporters are essential in maintaining cell homeostasis, and their gene mutations may cause or contribute to severe human genetic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis, neurological disease, retinal degeneration, anemia, and cholesterol and bile transport defects. Conversely, some diseases may also alter transporter functions and expressions, in turn aggravating disease process. Further, since over-expression of some ABC transporters is a potential contributor to multidrug-resistance (MDR), the book presents a number of strategies to overcome MDR, including ABC transporter inhibitors and applying epigenetic methods to modulate transporter expressions and functions. This book is useful for graduate students and professionals who are looking to refresh or expand their knowledge of this exciting field.

Book Membrane Transporters and Channels as Targets for Drugs

Download or read book Membrane Transporters and Channels as Targets for Drugs written by Graça Soveral and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2020-01-03 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transporters and channels are membrane proteins that mediate the traffic of metabolites, water and ions across biological membranes. Membrane transport proteins are crucial to maintain homeostasis and assure cell survival upon intracellular or environmental stress. A failure of any of these transport systems may have dramatic consequences for cell function. There is increasing evidence that membrane transport proteins play important functions in healthy conditions and that their absence or dysfunction may cause diseases. In recent years much attention has been paid to diseases resulting from defective transporters (“carrier diseases”) and ion channels (“channelopathies”). Very interestingly, altered expression of transporters has been described in several human pathologies. On this basis, many transport proteins are well acknowledged targets for drugs. Many others are involved in drug delivery and disposition and/or are considered potential targets. Others are off-targets for drugs and then, are responsible for side effects. Thus, membrane protein drug discovery is now an emerging field where the search for physiological mechanisms of regulation and for chemical compounds as modulators of transport activity, present new opportunities for drug development and for new therapies. This Research Topic addresses the latest research advances in membrane transport proteins, stimulating future research on these important protein families.

Book Enzyme  and Transporter Based Drug Drug Interactions

Download or read book Enzyme and Transporter Based Drug Drug Interactions written by K. Sandy Pang and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-12-17 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Germination of the thought of "Enzymatic- and Transporter-Based Drug-Drug Interactions: Progress and Future Challenges" Proceedings came about as part of the annual meeting of The American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) that was held in San Diego in November of 2007. The attendance of workshop by more than 250 pharmaceutical scientists reflected the increased interest in the area of drug-drug interactions (DDIs), the greater focus of PhRMA, academia, and regulatory agencies, and the rapid pace of growth in knowledge. One of the aims of the workshop was to address the progress made in quantitatively predicting enzyme- and transporter-based DDIs as well as highlighted areas where such predictions are poor or areas that remain challenging for the future. Because of the serious clinical implications, initiatives have arisen from the FDA (http://www.fda.gov/cber/gdlns/interactstud.htm) to highlight the importance of enzyme- and transporter-based DDIs. During the past ten to fifteen years, we have come to realize that transporters, in addition to enzymes, play a vital role in drug elimination. Such insight has been possible because of the continued growth in PK-ADME (pharmacokinetics-absorption-distribution-metabolism-excretion) knowledge, fueled by further advances in molecular biology, greater availability of human tissues, and the development of additional and sophisticated model systems and sensitive assay methods for studying drug metabolism and transport in vitro and in vivo. This has sparked an in-depth probing into mechanisms surrounding DDIs, resulting from ligand-induced changes in nuclear receptors, as well as alterations in transporter and enzyme expression and function. Despite such advances, the in vitro and in vivo study of drug interactions and the integration of various data sets remain challenging. Therefore, it has become apparent that a proceeding that serves to encapsulate current strategies, approaches, methods and applications is necessary. As Editors, we have assembled a number of opinion leaders and asked them to contribute chapters surrounding these issues. Many of these are the original Workshop speakers whereas others had been selected specially to contribute on topics related to basic and applied information that had not been covered in other reference texts on DDI. The resulting tome, entitled Enzyme- and Transporter-Based Drug Interactions: Progress and Future Challenges, comprises of four sections. Twenty-eight chapters covering various topics and perspectives related to the subject of metabolic and transporter-based drug-drug interactions are presented.

Book Renal Drug Transporters  clinical Significance and Role in Drug drug Interactions

Download or read book Renal Drug Transporters clinical Significance and Role in Drug drug Interactions written by Jia Yin and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug transporters play an important role in drug disposition and can be major determinants of drug pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and toxicity. In contrast to drug metabolizing enzymes, which mainly concentrate in the liver and small intestine, drug transporters are expressed ubiquitously throughout human body. In human kidney, drug transporters are primarily expressed in the basolateral and apical membranes of proximal tubule cells and often work in tandem to secrete therapeutic drugs and their metabolites into tubular lumen. Furthermore, transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions (DDIs) have become a significant clinical concern as they can adversely impact drug disposition, efficacy, and toxicity. The overall goal of my research project is to understand the clinical significance of renal drug transporters and their role in drug-drug interactions. An analysis of the top 200 prescribed drugs in U.S. and their DDI studies suggests that there is considerable potential for clinically significant renal DDI to occur among commonly used drugs. Potent drug transport inhibitors elicit significant interactions in vivo that approach maximums predicted from in vitro-derived inhibition kinetics. However, high-magnitude renal DDIs in the clinical setting appear to be rare, which may partly be due to a lack of potent in vivo inhibitors, low fraction of net secretion of victim drugs, and compensating transport pathways for the victim drug. Our analysis also identified two widely used antihypertensive drugs, atenolol and hydrochlorothiazide that are cleared predominantly by the kidney but the molecular mechanisms involved in its renal secretion are virtually unknown. Using a panel of HEK cell lines stably expressing major renal drug transporters and absolute quantification of membrane transporter proteins by LC-MS/MS, we found that atenolol is an excellent substrate for the renal organic cation transporter 2 (hOCT2), multidrug and toxin extrusion proteins 1 and 2-K (hMATE1 and 2-K). It can inhibit but not be transported by renal organic anion transporters 1 and 3 (hOAT1 and hOAT3). We also demonstrate unidirectional transepithelial transport of atenolol in an hOCT2/hMATE1 double-transfected MDCK cell culture model. Our data suggest that renal secretion of atenolol is mediated by hOCT2/hMATEs pathway. On the other hand, hydrochlorothiazide was identified to be a substrate of both organic cation transporters hOAT1 and hOAT3 and organic anion transporters hOCT2 and hMATE2-K. However, hOCT2 and hMATE2-K showed much lower affinity and transport efficiency for hydrochlorothiazide than hOAT1 and hOAT3. Combined with findings from other investigators, we propose that renal tubular secretion of hydrochlorothiazide is mediated by two parallel pathways, with hOATs/multidrug resistance-associated protein 4 (hMRP4) being the major one and hOCT2/hMATE2-K being a minor pathway. Our in vitro inhibition studies using potent hOAT1/3 inhibitors also suggest that caution should be taken when hydrochlorothiazide is co-prescribed with potent hOAT1/3 inhibitors, as renal secretion is not only important for its elimination, it may also play a role in its efficacy. Emerging evidence suggests that renal hOCT2 and hMATE1/2-K exhibit substrate-dependent inhibition but the impact on renal drug secretion and intracellular accumulation is unknown. Regulatory agencies recently developed guidelines for transporter-mediated DDI risk assessment but the potential influence of probe substrate choice on prediction is not clear. Using drug substrates, we showed that inhibition of the renal basolateral organic cation transporter 2 by classic clinical inhibitors is highly substrate-dependent, leading to strikingly different DDI predictions. In contrast, inhibition of the apical multidrug and toxin extrusion proteins is less affected by substrate choice. Using a cell culture model simulating tubular secretion, we further demonstrate that substrate-dependent inhibition can shift the major substrate-inhibitor interacting site between apical and basolateral transporters, leading to different effects on intracellular drug accumulation. These findings revealed the complex and dynamic nature of substrate-inhibitor interactions in multispecific drug transporters. In summary, this dissertation research has evaluated the clinical significance of renal DDIs, demonstrated the important role of renal transporters in the clearance and efficacy of two widely used antihypertensive drugs and highlighted the necessity of considering substrate-dependent inhibition in predicting transporter-mediated DDIs
