Evidence of active transport involvement in morphine transport via MDCKII and MDCK-PGP cell lines

Several transporters appear to be important in transporting various drugs. Many patients, who receive morphine as analgesic medication, also receive other medications with potency of changing morphine transport by affecting P-glycoprotein (P-GP) and oatp2 transport system. This could influence morphine pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The aim of present study was to elucidate the transpor...

Region-dependent modulation of intestinal permeability by drug efflux transporters: in vitro studies in mdr1a(-/-) mouse intestine.

Information on the extent to which xenobiotics interact with P-glycoprotein (PGP) during transit through the intestine is crucial in determining the influence of PGP on oral drug absorption. We have recently described a novel use of isolated ileum from PGP-deficient mdr1a(-/-) mice to resolve PGP- and non-PGP-dependent drug efflux and provide a definitive measure of intrinsic drug permeability ...

The influence of active transport systems on morphine -6-glucuronide transport in MDCKII and MDCK-PGP cells

BACKGROUND AND THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Morphine-6-glucuronide (M6G) is a potent metabolite of morphine which has high penetration into the brain despite its high polarity, which could be the result of an active transport system involved in M6G transport through blood brain barrier. Examples of such transporters are p-glycoprotein (PGP), probenecid-sensitive transport mechanism, multidrug resis...

Transport of the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor sitagliptin by human organic anion transporter 3, organic anion transporting polypeptide 4C1, and multidrug resistance P-glycoprotein.

Sitagliptin, a selective dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor recently approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, is excreted into the urine via active tubular secretion and glomerular filtration in humans. In this report, we demonstrate that sitagliptin is transported by human organic anion transporter hOAT3 (Km=162 microM), organic anion transporting polypeptide OATP4C1, and multidrug resista...
