Ginkgolide B (GB) is a selective and strong antagonist of platelet-activating factor with great benefits in CNS diseases treatment. The renal excretion constitutes the predominant secretory pathway of GB. Here, we investigated the potential role of renal drug transporters in GB urinary excretion.

Hepatopathy sometimes may interfere with metabolism and/or elimination of drugs which undergo major hepatic clearance. Twelve healthy goats were equally divided into two groups (I and II) and hepatopathy was induced by carbontetrachloride in the second group (group II). A single dose of ceftriaxone at 50 mg/kg was administered to each group intramuscularly.

The human liver-specific organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) 1B1 and 1B3 are involved in the elimination of numerous xenobiotics and drugs. Although dogs are frequently used for toxicologic and pharmacokinetic characterization of novel drugs, nothing is known about their OATP1B1/1B3 ortholog. Therefore, we cloned and characterized the first canine organic anion transporting polypeptide from dog liver, termed Oatp1b4.

Organic anion transporting polypeptide (Oatp) 1a1 has been hypothesized to play a key role in rat renal reabsorption of perfluorooctanoate (PFO). We have investigated PFO uptake kinetics in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells that have been stably transfected with the cDNA encoding Oatp1a1. The Oatp1a1-expressing CHO cells have been validated by their Oatp1a1 gene expression, estrone-3-sulfate (E3S) uptake kinetics, and the correlation between Oatp1a1 gene expression and E3S uptake activity that were both induced by the treatment of sodium butyrate.

The existence of a porphyrin uptake transporter in hepatocytes has been hypothesized in recent years, but to date it has not been identified. While the linear tetrapyrrole bilirubin has been shown to be a substrate for the organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1), similar studies have not been conducted for the cyclic tetrapyrroles (porphyrins). The aim of this study was to determine the structural features of linear and cyclic tetrapyroles necessary for interaction with OATP1B1.
