  1. Transporters and Pharmacokinetics:Optimization of PK Parameters Using Double Transfected MDCK Cells (OATP8/MRP2 and OATP2/MRP2) DMPK, Aventis Pharma, Frankfurt Paris, February 4th 2004

  2. Why should we worry about Transporters? • Decrease fraction absorbed due to efflux- to which degree? • increase fraction absorbed in drug-drug-interactions (p.o.) • Cause dose-dependent absorption • Induction, inhibition, NHR regulation • patient variability (polymorphisms) • drug-drug interactions • Transporter-excipient interaction possible • kinetics not zero or first order

  3. Systemic Availability: Identification of PK Problems Central Compartment Intestinal Wall Systemic Circulation Intestinal Lumen Portal Vein Liver Intestinal Metabolism Efflux Liver Metabolism Enterohepatic Circulation Renal Elimination Hepatobiliary Elimination Faeces

  4. PK: Transport Processes • GI: lumenal uptake/efflux- enterocytes (apical) • GI: release/partition to blood stream (basolat) • Liver: sinusoidal uptake (basolat) • Liver: secretion into bile canaliculi (apical) • Liver: secretion of metabolites into bile and blood • Kidney: tubular uptake/ partition from blood (basolat) • Kidney: tubular release/resorption to lumen (apical) • Tissue: uptake to site of action (membrane uptake/secretion; uptake into subcellular compartments) • BBB: uptake from blood (apical) • BBB: secretion into brain interstitial space (basolateral) • BCF: uptake from extravascular fluid into epithelia (basolateral) • BCF: release to ventricle (apical)

  11. Transporter Studies • In vivo only indications via tissue distribution, expression levels, in situ methods, K.O. mice, bile fistula studies • In vitro: biochemical and physiological • ATPase assay, BBMV, inverted out vesicles • single transfectants (Sf9, mammalian cells): uptake, binding • double transfectants: transport

  12. Case Study: Hepatobiliary Elimination

  13. Several drug targets in diabetes research are located in the liver Problem: fast elimination of drug candidates via liver Drug candidate with in vitro potency Solubility, S9 metabolic Stability, CACO-2, Protein Binding, Metabolic profile, in vivo PK (i.v., p.o.: T1/2, Cl, Cmax, Vss), Portal vein study, Bile fistula study Rapid hepatobiliary elimination Insufficient PD and PK profile

In vitro Approaches to Study Hepatobiliary Elimination • Oocytes (Becton Dickinson) for uptake transporters: different membranes, different glycosylation motif, different Km values expected • HEK, CHO cells for uptake transporters: background, lower protein expression levels • Sf9 (Solvo) cells for efflux transporters: different membranes, different glycosylation motif, different Km values expected • MDCK cells transfected with uptake and efflux transporters and double transfected cells (collaboration with Prof. Keppler, University of Heidelberg)

GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATASE SYSTEM • Glucose-6-phosphatase system catalyses the final step of hepatic glucose production from gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis •  Key regulatory factor of blood glucose homeostasis • HEPATIC GLUCOSE PRODUCTION IS INCREASED IN TYPE 2 DIABETIC PATIENTS Chlorogenic acid derivatives Cytosol ER lumen • Chlorogenic acid derivatives are potent and specific inhibitors of the glucose-6-phosphate translocase • Inhibition of glucose-6-phosphate translocase results in a decrease in hepatic glucose production and plasma glucose levels Image modified from Van Schaftingen and Gerin I, Biochem. J. (2002) 362, 513-532 CHLOROGENIC ACID DERIVATIVES ARE POTENTIAL NOVEL THERAPEUTICS IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES

  34. Project: Glucose-6-Phosphate Translocase Inhibitors Summary: correlation between in vitro and in vivo data • More than 20 cpds tested so far • Identification of transporter combination responsible for drug elimination possible • Evidence for participation of azabenzimidazole ring system in MRP2/OATP8/OATP2 mediated drug transport in vitro (G6PT) • For one compound no transport was measured despite of its high hepatobiliary elimination rate in rat: • possibly other transporters than MRP2/OATP8/OATP2 are involved or differences between rat and human transporters are responsible • Additional methods are needed (for three compounds) • Additional methods: vesicles (for efflux studies), uptake (new cell lines) • Further cell lines necessary (Molecular Liver) including rat transporters

  36. Summary of Results from Double-Transfectants Model • More than 30 cpds tested so far in both double transfectants and single transfectants • For some compounds high background due to endogenous canine transporters like MDR1 and MRP2: alternative methods needed • Compounds with high permeability rates (Papp values higher than 10-6 cm/sec): • Partitioning is faster than active transport processes (PAMPA will be used) • One cpd identified as OATP2 and MDR1 substrate, less MRP2 • One cpd + metabolite characterized for approval in Japan • Cpds from one project are inhibitors of OATP2/MRP2 or/and OATP8/MRP2: additional studies needed!!! • Cpds from Aventis being on the market will be characterized

  37. Discussion and Limitations of the Double-Transfectants Model • For some compounds high background due to endogenous canine transporters like MDR1 and MRP2 • Compounds with high permeability rates (Papp values higher than 10-6 cm/sec): • Partitioning is faster than active transport processes (PAMPA useful ?) • Metabolites are not formed: advantage or disadvantage? • For inhibitors of OATP2/MRP2 or/and OATP8/MRP2: additional studies needed!!! • No Km value determination possible: alternative is inverted out vesicles, uptake assays • ATPase assay, binding sides • Cell lines without background? • Tight cell lines for transfection of efflux transporters-alternatives for MDCK? • In vivo experiments? How to interprete K.O. mice results in terms of PK? • DDI experiments? • Throughput of the filter experiment: low to medium (controls, standards)- for comparison CACO-2 throughput 1700-2500 cpds/year in FFM • Throughput of the LC-MS analytics: medium

  40. How to Study MDR1: Complications Regarding MDR1 • Multiple binding sides • distinct substrate specificity • binding sites can interact in a cooperative manner • Competitive or cooperative inhibition possible • Interaction at a third side: difficult to identify • ATP dependent action • Compounds with high partitioning are no substrates but can be inhibitors Shapiro & Ling, 1997
