Interaction of digitalis-like compounds with p-glycoprotein.
Digitalis-like compounds (DLCs), or cardiac glycosides, are produced and sequestered by certain plants and animals as a protective mechanism against herbivores or predators. Currently, the DLCs digoxin and digitoxin are used in the treatment of cardiac congestion and some types of cardiac arrhythmia, despite a very narrow therapeutic index. P-glycoprotein (P-gp; ABCB1) is the only known ATP-dep...
متن کاملThe effects of digitalis-like compounds on rat lenses.
PURPOSE Fundamental to the maintenance of ionic concentration gradients and transparency of the lens is the activity of Na+,K+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) in the epithelial layer. Recent studies have identified endogenous digitalis-like compounds (DLCs) and 19-norbufalin and its peptide derivatives in human cataractous lenses. These compounds inhibit the activity of Na+,K+-ATPase and have...
متن کاملInteraction of endogenous compounds in human and rat urine with P-glycoprotein.
The effect of hydrophobic extracts of human and rat urine on in-vitro P-glycoprotein (P-gp) function was examined, in terms of intra-, inter-individual variations, and physiological states. Six urine samples out of 7, obtained from one male subject on different days, suppressed P-gp function with different potencies. Similarly, 11 samples out of 15 different individuals (8 males and 7 females) ...
متن کاملInteraction of antiepileptic drugs with human P-glycoprotein in vitro.
About one-third of epilepsy patients are resistant to treatment with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). This refractoriness is not fully understood, but is thought to be attributed to overexpression of multidrug transporters at the blood-brain barrier, particularly P-glycoprotein (Pgp). In certain cases pharmacoresistance can be overcome by add-on therapy, raising the question of whether the coadminis...
متن کاملInteraction of imatinib mesilate with human P-glycoprotein.
The interaction of imatinib mesilate with P-glycoprotein (P-gp) was examined using pig kidney epithelial LLC-PK1 cells versus L-MDR1 cells, which overexpress human P-gp on the apical membrane. The basal-to-apical transport of imatinib mesilate in L-MDR1 cells significantly exceeded that in the parental LLCPK1 cells. The intracellular accumulation of imatinib mesilate after its basal application...
