چکیده
Oseltamivir, an ester-type prodrug of the neuraminidase inhibitor [3R,4R,5S]-4-acetamido-5-amino-3-(1-ethylpropoxy)-1-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate phosphate (Ro 64-0802), has been developed for the treatment of A and B strains of the influenza virus but has neuropsychiatric and other side effects. In this study, we characterized the transport across intestinal epithelial cells and the absorption of oseltamivir in rats. Uptake by Caco-2 cells (human carcinoma cell line) and HeLa cells transfected with peptide transporter 1 (HeLa/PEPT1) was time- and temperature-dependent and was inhibited by typical PEPT1 inhibitors such as glycyl-sarcosine (Gly-Sar). The uptake by Caco-2 cells and HeLa/PEPT1 was saturable, with similar K(m) values. Oseltamivir absorption in adult rats was greatly reduced by simultaneous administration of milk, casein, or Gly-Sar. Furthermore, the plasma and brain concentrations of oseltamivir were higher in fasting than in nonfasting rats after oral administration. These results suggest that oseltamivir is a substrate of PEPT1 and that PEPT1 is involved in its intestinal absorption.

Role of the intestinal peptide transporter PEPT1 in oseltamivir absorption: in vitro and in vivo studies.
It was reported that oseltamivir (Tamiflu) absorption was mediated by human peptide transporter (hPEPT) 1. Understanding the exact mechanism(s) of absorption is important in the context of drug-drug and diet-drug interactions. Hence, we investigated the mechanism governing the intestinal absorption of oseltamivir and its active metabolite (oseltamivir carboxylate) in wild-type [Chinese hamster ...
متن کاملOseltamivir (Tamiflu) efflux transport at the blood-brain barrier via P-glycoprotein.
Oseltamivir (Tamiflu, Roche, Nutley, NJ), an ester-type prodrug of the anti-influenza drug Ro 64-0802 (oseltamivir carboxylate), has been reported to be associated with neuropsychiatric side effects, which are likely to be caused by distribution of oseltamivir and/or its metabolite into the central nervous system. Enhanced toxicity and brain distribution of oseltamivir in unweaned rats led us t...
متن کاملNeuroexcitatory actions of Tamiflu and its carboxylate metabolite.
Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) is now being stockpiled by several governments as a first line treatment for an anticipated outbreak of avian influenza caused by H5N1. However, abnormal behaviors and death associated with the use of Tamiflu have developed into a major issue in Japan where Tamiflu is often prescribed for seasonal influenza. Thus, it is critical to determine neuropsychiatric effects of ose...
متن کاملSpecies-dependent uptake of glycylsarcosine but not oseltamivir in Pichia pastoris expressing the rat, mouse, and human intestinal peptide transporter PEPT1.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether glycylsarcosine (a model dipeptide) and oseltamivir (an antiviral prodrug) exhibited a species-dependent uptake in yeast Pichia pastoris expressing the rat, mouse, and human homologs of PEPT1. Experiments were performed with [(3)H]glycylsarcosine (GlySar) in yeast P. pastoris expressing human, mouse, and rat peptide transporter 1 (PEPT1), in wh...
