Case Study

• 59 yr old female with type 2 diabetes on metformin presents with a 3 month history of vague abdominalpresents with a 3 month history of vague abdominal pain and diarrhea.

• Also 3 months ago, started on cimetidine for duodenal ulcer treatment.

• On examination, noted to be agitated, hypotensive (BP 85/40 mmHg). Arterial blood gas showed 

f d b li id i ( H 6 5)profound metabolic acidosis (pH 6.5)

• Dx: Metformin induced metabolic acidosis

Dawson et al Diabetes Care 26:2471-2472, 2003

Case Study

• Why did she develop this?

• Metformin is not significantly metabolized. It is cleared by glomerular filtration and tubular secretion.

• Cimetidine is known to be capable of inhibiting renal tubular secretion of metformin.

So what should you do about OATPs??

AppetizerHepatocytes (could use rat). Q. Uptake transport relevant?

Salad

AppetizerConsider labeled estradiol 17-B glucuronide as a model substrate

Salad

Substrates Galore Lots of Inhibition

Salad

Express OATP1B1, 1B3, 2B1 (consider 1A2).Consider expressing rat or mouse Oatps.

EntréeIs uptake 1.5-fold or > than control?If no, OATPs may not be the relevant transporter(s)

Express 1B1 and 1B3 (might consider other OATPs).

EntréeDetermine IC50. Include known positive control inhibitors (e.g. RIF).

Dessert

Consider I/IC50 values.Dessert

Determine Km and Vmax(use a standardized transporter model system. i.e. do not mix oocytes + Cell lines + vesicles etc)

Beverages

OATP1B1- Consider PGEN

Difficult to know when a clinical interaction study should be carried out.

Genotype and drug levels

• Date  of Blood Sample: August 4, 2010

– CYP2D6 genotype: *1/*1– CYP2D6 genotype:  1/ 1

– Tamoxifen level: 247 ng/ml (667 nM)

– Endoxifen level: 3.85 ng/ml (10.3 nM)

• How do you interpret the genotype?

• Should you stay on tamoxifen?

How is endoxifen eliminated from the body??

Drug Transporters

P‐Glycoprotein

• ATP‐dependent efflux pump encoded by MDR1 gene in humanshumans.

• Can actively extrude various anticancer agents from intracellular to extracellular compartment, thus preventing cell death. 

• Expression in some cancer cells• Expression in some cancer cells result in the phenomenon of multidrug resistance (MDR).

Conclusion• Certain transporters have very broad substrate specificity.

• Drug uptake transporters should be considered• Drug uptake transporters should be considered earlier in the drug development process

• Many drug transporters exhibit tissue specific expression.

• Genetic variation in transporters exist.• Drug transporters may be important to drug disposition and diseasedisposition and disease.

• Drug transporters could be targeted to enhance drug delivery

• Drug transporters are relevant to optimal drug therapy
