DDI-Transporters Flashcards
Membrane transporters/carriers are located where?
- Epithelial barrier
2. Endothelial barrier
Why are transporters important?
They play a significant role in drug:
- absorption
- distribution
- excretion
Active Solute Transport
Biochemical Characteristics:
1.
2.
- Move solute against a concentration gradient
2. REQUIES energy
Active Solute Transport
Classification based on driving force mechanism
1.
2.
- Primary active transporters = generate energy themselves (ATP hydrolysis)
- Secondary active transporters = utilize energy stored in voltage and ion gradients generated by a primary active transporter (NA+/K+ ATPase)
Digoxin and _________ was the original transporter-related DDI
quinidine
There are two types of secondary active transporters
- Symporters (Co-transporters)
2. Antiporters ( Exchangers)
A [primary/secondary] active transporter utilizes energy stored in gradients
Secondary
A [primary/secondary] active transporter utilizes energy from ATP hydrolysis
Primary
These secondary active transporters are also known as co-transporters
Symporters
These secondary active transporters are also known as antiporters
Exchangers
Pgp, MRPs and BCRP are all part of the ________ superfamily of transporters
ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC)
OATP, OCT & MATEs are part of the ________ superfamily of transporters
SoLute Carrier (SLC)
This transporter is also known as MDR1
Pgp
Pgp mediates the transport of [lipo/hydro]philic [an/cat]ionic drugs?
Lipophilic Cationic drugs
Steroids and other cyclic peptides are [acidic/basic/neutral] drugs with ________ ring structures, mediated by_______
NEUTRAL rings with BULKY ring structures
Pgp mediated
What 4 tissues is Pgp expressed in?
- intestine
- kidneys
- liver
- BBB
Pgp has two actions on xenobiotics
- Guard against entry
2. Promote excretion
Pgp is located on the [Apical/Basolateral] membrane of INTESTINAL mucosal epithelium?
APICAL
Pgp is located on the [Apical/Basolateral] membrane of proximal tubular epithelium of KIDNEYS?
APICAL
Pgp is located on the [Apical/Basolateral] membrane of hepatocytes in the LIVER?
APICAL(canalicular)
Pgp is located on the [Apical/Basolateral] membrane of brain capillary endothelium BBB
APICAL
What is the purpose of Pgp in the INTESTINE?
DECREASES net absorption due to exsorption and/or secretion
What is the purpose of Pgp in the KIDNEY?
FACILITATES renal secretion
What is the purpose of Pgp in the LIVER?
FACILITATES biliary secretion
What is the purpose of Pgp in the BBB?
PREVENTS drug entry into the brain
T/F
Pgp facilitates biliary secretion
