Establishment of a cell line for assessing drugs as canine P-glycoprotein substrates: proof of principle.
Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics 2017 October
P-glycoprotein (P-gp), encoded by the ABCB1 (MDR1) gene, dramatically impacts drug disposition. P-gp is expressed in the intestines, biliary canaliculi, renal tubules, and brain capillaries where it functions to efflux substrate drugs. In this capacity, P-gp restricts oral absorption, enhances biliary and renal excretion, and inhibits central nervous system entry of substrate drugs. Many drugs commonly used in veterinary medicine are known substrates for canine P-gp (vincristine, loperamide, ivermectin, others). Because these drugs have a narrow therapeutic index, defective P-gp function can cause serious adverse drug reactions due to enhanced brain penetration and/or decreased clearance. P-gp dysfunction in dogs can be intrinsic (dogs harboring ABCB1-1Δ) or acquired (drug interactions between a P-gp inhibitor and P-gp substrate). New human drug candidates are required to undergo assessment for P-gp interactions according to FDA and EMA regulations to avoid adverse drug reactions and drug-drug interactions. Similar information regarding canine P-gp could prevent adverse drug reactions in dogs. Because differences in P-gp substrates have been documented between species, one should not presume that human or murine P-gp substrates are necessarily canine P-gp substrates. Thus, our goal was to develop a cell line for assessing drugs as canine P-gp substrates.
