DDI-Transporters Flashcards
(67 cards)
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
