Drug transporters in spermatogenesis
Drug transporters are integral membrane proteins expressed by a variety of organs, including the liver, kidney, small intestine and testis, and they are generally known to mediate drug or xenobiotic transport into and out of cells. Previous studies have also reported the presence of several drug transporters at blood-tissue barriers where they are thought to protect organs from harmful agents. ...
متن کاملAdjudin disrupts spermatogenesis by targeting drug transporters
For non-hormonal male contraceptives that exert their effects in the testis locally instead of via the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis, such as adjudin that disrupts germ cell adhesion, a major hurdle in their development is to improve their bioavailability so that they can be efficiently delivered to the seminiferous epithelium by transporting across the blood-testis barrier (BTB). If t...
متن کاملRenal tubular drug transporters.
The kidney plays an important role in the elimination of numerous hydrophilic xenobiotics, including drugs, toxins, and endogenous compounds. It has developed high-capacity transport systems to prevent urinary loss of filtered nutrients, as well as electrolytes, and simultaneously to facilitate tubular secretion of a wide range of organic ions. Transport systems for organic anions and cations a...
متن کاملRenal drug transporters and their significance in drug–drug interactions
The kidney is a vital organ for the elimination of therapeutic drugs and their metabolites. Renal drug transporters, which are primarily located in the renal proximal tubules, play an important role in tubular secretion and reabsorption of drug molecules in the kidney. Tubular secretion is characterized by high clearance capacities, broad substrate specificities, and distinct charge selectivity...
متن کاملRenal drug transporters and nephrotoxicity
Among drug-induced renal failure, direct renal tubular toxicity, typically described as toxic acute tubular necrosis, is often associated with increased cellular uptake of nephrotoxic compounds. Drug transporters in tubular cells are the first fundamental stage in the development of the nephrotoxic process. Several examples can be given of organic substances that are nephrotoxic only after bein...
