The interest in transporter-mediated drug interactions has been increasing in the field of drug development. In this study, we measured the plasma and urinary concentrations of coproporphyrin (CP) I and CP III as endogenous substrates for organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) using chimeric mice with human hepatocytes (PXB mice) and examined the influence of an OATP inhibitor, rifampicin (RIF). CP I and CP III were actively taken up intracellularly, and RIF inhibited the uptake in a concentration-dependent manner for both CP I and CP III in human hepatocytes (PXB-cells).

Numerous studies demonstrated that the number of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has increased remarkably in the past decade. A portion of ASD etiology, however, is attributed to environmental issues and genetic disorders. We highlighted a scoping review to principally evaluate the current information on mercury exposure in ASD children and to reveal knowledge gaps.

Background: Dubin-Johnson syndrome (DJS) presents during the neonatal period with a phenotype that overlaps with a broad list of causes of neonatal cholestasis (NC), which makes the identification of DJS challenging for clinicians. We conducted a case-controlled study to investigate the utility of urinary coproporphyrins (UCP) I% as a potential diagnostic biomarker.
Methods: We reviewed our database of 533 cases of NC and identified 28 neonates with disease-causing variants in ATP-binding cassette-subfamily C member 2 (ABCC2) gene "Cases" (Study period 2008-2019).

Organic anion transporters 1 and 3 (OAT1/3) occupy a key role in mediating renal elimination. Kynurenic acid (KYNA) was previously discovered as an effective endogenous biomarker to assess drug-drug interaction (DDI) for OAT inhibitors. Here, further in vitro and in vivo investigation was performed to characterize the elimination routes and feasibility of KYNA, along with other reported endogenous metabolites, as biomarkers of Oat1/3 inhibition in bile duct-cannulated (BDC) cynomolgus monkeys.
