Transport characteristics of ebastine and its metabolites across human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cell monolayers.
The transport characteristics of a selective peripheral H1 receptor antagonist, ebastine, a substrate for cytochrome P450 3A4, and its three major metabolites, i.e., the hydroxy metabolite of ebastine (M-OH), the pharmacologically active metabolite carebastine (Car), and the desbutyrophenone metabolite (des-BP), were studied in cultured human intestinal Caco-2 cells expressing a drug efflux pum...
متن کاملTransepithelial transport of ambroxol hydrochloride across human intestinal Caco-2 cell monolayers.
This study aimed i) to characterize the transepithelial transport of the mucolytic agent ambroxol hydrochloride across the intestinal barrier, ii) to classify the ambroxol according to Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) and iii) to predict ambroxol absorption in humans. Transport of ambroxol (100, 300 and 1000 micromol/l) was studied in a human colon carcinoma cell line Caco-2 in apic...
متن کاملTransport mechanisms of nicotine across the human intestinal epithelial cell line Caco-2.
Ulcerative colitis is a disease more commonly seen in nonsmokers. Because nicotine was postulated to be a beneficial component of tobacco smoke for ulcerative colitis, various formulations of nicotine have been developed to improve the local bioavailability within the gastrointestinal tissue. In the present study, to characterize the disposition of nicotine in the intestines, we investigated in...
متن کاملVasoactive intestinal peptide reduces H-coupled amino acid uptake across the apical membrane of human intestinal Caco-2 cell monolayers
School of Cell & Molecular Biosciences, The Medical School, Framlington Place, Newcastle upon Tyne NE2 4HH, UK H-coupled b-alanine uptake across the apical membrane of intestinal epithelial (Caco-2) cell monolayers (when measured at apical pH 6.5) is inhibited by forskolin but not 1,9dideoxyforskolin suggesting modulation by a cAMP-dependent pathway (Anderson et al. 2001). The purpose of this s...
متن کاملGamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) Monograpy
Introduction Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a major neuro transmitter widely distributed throughout the central nervous system (CNS). Because too much excitation can lead to irritability, restlessness, insomnia, seizures, and movement disorders, it must be balanced with inhibition. GABA – the most important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain – provides this inhibition, acting like a “b...
