Glucuronidation of mycophenolic acid by Wistar and Mrp2-deficient TR- rat liver microsomes.
In humans, mycophenolic acid (MPA) is metabolized primarily by glucuronidation in the liver to mycophenolate ether glucuronide (MPAGe) and mycophenolate acyl glucuronide (MPAGa). We have previously reported that in perfused livers of TR(-) rats (lacking the Mrp2 transporter), the clearance and hepatic extraction ratio of MPA were significantly lower compared with control Wistar rats, suggesting...
متن کاملRole of Mrp2 in the hepatic disposition of mycophenolic acid and its glucuronide metabolites: effect of cyclosporine.
Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is part of the immunosuppressant therapy for transplant recipients. This study examines the role of the canalicular transporter, Mrp2, and the effect of cyclosporin A (CsA), on the biliary secretion of the ether (MPAGe) and acyl (MPAGa) glucuronides of MPA. Isolated livers from Wistar rats (n = 6), or Wistar TR- rats (n = 6) were perfused with MPA (5 mg/l). A third group...
متن کاملImpact of intestinal glucuronidation on the pharmacokinetics of raloxifene.
Raloxifene is extensively glucuronidated in humans, effectively reducing its oral bioavailability (2%). It was also reported to be glucuronidated in preclinical animals, but its effects on the oral bioavailability have not been fully elucidated. In the present study, raloxifene and its glucuronides in the portal and systemic blood were monitored in Gunn rats deficient in UDP-glucuronosyltransfe...
متن کاملCharacterization of transport protein expression in multidrug resistance-associated protein (Mrp) 2-deficient rats.
Multidrug resistance-associated protein (Mrp) 2-deficient transport-deficient (TR(-)) rats, together with their transport-competent Wistar counterparts (wild type), have been used to examine the contribution of Mrp2 to drug disposition. However, little is known about potential variation in expression of other transport proteins between TR(-) and wild-type rats or whether these differences are t...
متن کاملAn investigation of human and rat liver microsomal mycophenolic acid glucuronidation: evidence for a principal role of UGT1A enzymes and species differences in UGT1A specificity.
Mycophenolic acid (MPA; 1,3-dihydro-4-hydroxy-6-methoxy-7-methyl-3-oxo-5-isobenzylfuranyl)-4-methyl-4-hexenoate), the active metabolite of the immunosuppressant prodrug, mycophenolate mofetil, undergoes glucuronidation to its 7-O-glucuronide as a primary route of metabolism. Because differences in glucuronidation may influence the efficacy and/or toxicity of MPA, we investigated the MPA UDP-glu...
