- Abstract
Organic anion-transporting polypeptides (OATPs) are important uptake transporters that can have a profound impact on the systemic pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution, and elimination of several drugs. Previous in vivo studies of the pharmacokinetics of the lipophilic camptothecin (CPT) analog gimatecan suggested that the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) B1 (P-glycoprotein) and/or ABCG2 (breast cancer resistance protein) inhibitors elacridar and pantoprazole could inhibit transporters other than ABCB1 and ABCG2. In this study, we tested the possible role of OATP1B1 in this interaction by screening a number of CPT analogs for their transport affinity by human OATP1B1 in vitro. In addition, the impact of several widely used ABCB1 and/or ABCG2 modulators on this OATP1B1-mediated transport was assessed. We identified two novel CPT anticancer drugs, gimatecan and BNP1350, as OATP1B1 substrates, whereas irinotecan, topotecan, and lurtotecan were not transported by OATP1B1. It is interesting to note that transport of 17beta-estradiol 17beta-d-glucuronide (control), gimatecan, and BNP1350 by OATP1B1 could be completely inhibited by the classic ABCB1 and/or ABCG2 inhibitors elacridar, valspodar, pantoprazole, and, to a lesser extent, zosuquidar and verapamil. Therefore, the effect of these ABCB1 and ABCG2 modulators on the plasma pharmacokinetics of gimatecan and BNP1350 (and possibly also other OATP1B1 substrates) may be partly because of inhibition of OATP1B1 besides inhibition of ABCB1 and/or ABCG2. The findings of this study suggest that OATP1B1 polymorphisms or coadministration with one of the ABCB1/ABCG2 inhibitors could affect drug uptake, tissue distribution, and elimination of some CPT anticancer drugs, thereby modifying their efficacy and/or safety profile.
