Inhibition of P-glycoprotein-mediated efflux of digoxin and its metabolites by macrolide antibiotics.

This study was conducted to determine the rate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated efflux of digoxin analogues and metabolites and to assess the effects of macrolide antibiotics on this efflux. Bidirectional transport studies were conducted using our Caco-2 sub clone with high P-gp expression (CLEFF9). HPLC methods were employed to measure drug transport. All digoxin metabolites were P-gp substra...
