Purpose: Our previous pharmacokinetic studies have demonstrated that TR-14035, a novel dual antagonist for alpha4beta1/alpha4beta7 integrin, selectively and strongly accumulated in the liver and was mainly excreted in bile as an unchanged drug. In the present study, we investigated the hepatobiliary transport system in detail.
Materials And Methods: Uptake by hepatocytes and organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP)-expressing Xenopus laevis oocytes or Flp-In-293 cells was performed in vitro. Biliary excretion was investigated in mdr1a/b-knockout mice, Bcrp-knockout mice and Mrp2-defective Eisai hyperbilirubinemic rats (EHBRs).
Results: TR-14035 was taken up by rat and human hepatocytes by an apparently single saturable mechanism with K(m) of 6.7 and 2.1 microM, respectively, and taurocholate and digoxin reduced this uptake. OATP1B1/OATP-C and OATP1B3/OATP8 expressed in oocytes mediated the TR-14035 uptake with K(m) of 7.5 and 5.3 microM, respectively. OATP1B1*15, a genetic variant of OATP1B1, exhibited a decreased transport of TR-14035 compared with OATP1B1*1a. Biliary excretion and total body clearance of unchanged TR-14035 in EHBRs were significantly lower than those in normal rats, while there was no difference in the clearances between wild and mdr1a/b- or Bcrp-knockout mice.
Conclusion: These results indicate that OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 are at least partly responsible for the accumulation of TR-14035 into hepatocytes, and Mrp2 principally mediates the biliary excretion of TR-14035. Furthermore, genetic polymorphisms of OATP1B1 may cause an interindividual variability in the pharmacokinetics of TR-14035.

Background: Direct acting antivirals (DAAs) have demonstrated remarkable efficacy, in achieving hepatitis C viral (HCV) elimination rates higher than 90%. One particular concern associated with treatment failure is the emergence of resistance associated substitutions (RASs) in the genome. The occurrence of RASs highlights the adaptability and resilience of the HCV.

Aim Of The Study: This study aimed to establish an objective, simple, and minimally invasive screening method to detect patients with biliary atresia during neonatal checkups by using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence in the stool.
Material And Methods: We produced a rat model of extrahepatic biliary obstruction (group O, = 9) and compared the stools from these rats with those of control group rats (group C, = 6) by a fluorescence technique. ICG was administered (0.

Vancomycin (VAN) and daptomycin (DAP) are among the last-resort antibiotics for treating multidrug-resistant Gram-positive bacterial infections. They are administered intravenously (IV); however, ≈5 - 10% of the total IV dose is released in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract via biliary excretion, driving resistance emergence in commensal Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium) populations.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination in the care cascades for patients receiving invasive procedures remains elusive. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of HCV-free Endoscope Procedures Project (CEPP) in the effort toward hospital HCV micro-elimination in Taiwan. An electronic medical record (EMR)-based remind system was introduced into gastrointestinal, surgical, urological, and gynecological departments prior to the endoscopy procedures.

Introduction: Drug-mediated inhibition of bile salt efflux transporters may cause liver injury. In vitro prediction of drug effects toward canalicular and/or sinusoidal efflux of bile salts from human hepatocytes is therefore a major issue, which can be addressed using liver cell-based assays.
Area Covered: This review, based on a thorough literature search in the scientific databases PubMed and Web of Science, provides key information about hepatic transporters implicated in bile salt efflux, the human liver cell models available for investigating functional inhibition of bile salt efflux, the different methodologies used for this purpose, and the modes of expression of the results.
