RESUMO
The addition of darolutamide, an androgen receptor signalling inhibitor, to therapy with docetaxel has recently been approved as a strategy to treat metastatic prostate cancer. OATP1B3 is an SLC transporter that is highly expressed in prostate cancer and is responsible for the accumulation of substrates, including docetaxel, into tumours. Given that darolutamide inhibits OATP1B3 in vitro, we sought to characterise the impact of darolutamide on docetaxel pharmacokinetics. We investigated the influence of darolutamide on OATP1B3 transport using in vitro and in vivo models. We assessed the impact of darolutamide on the tumour accumulation of docetaxel in a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model and on an OATP1B biomarker in patients. Darolutamide inhibited OATP1B3 in vitro at concentrations higher than the reported Cmax. Consistent with these findings, in vivo studies revealed that darolutamide does not influence the pharmacokinetics of Oatp1b substrates, including docetaxel. Docetaxel accumulation in PDX tumours was not decreased in the presence of darolutamide. Metastatic prostate cancer patients had similar levels of OATP1B biomarkers, regardless of treatment with darolutamide. Consistent with a low potential to inhibit OATP1B3-mediated transport in vitro, darolutamide does not significantly impede the transport of Oatp1b substrates in vivo or in patients. Our findings support combined treatment with docetaxel and darolutamide, as no OATP1B3 transporter based drug-drug interaction was identified.

Members of the solute carrier (SLC) family of transporters are responsible for the cellular influx of a broad range of endogenous compounds and xenobiotics. These proteins are highly expressed in the gastrointestinal tract and eliminating organs such as the liver and kidney, and are considered to be of particular importance in governing drug absorption and elimination. Many of the same transporters are also expressed in a wide variety of organs targeted by clinically important anticancer drugs, directly affect cellular sensitivity to these agents, and indirectly influence treatment-related side effects. Furthermore, targeted intervention strategies involving the use of transport inhibitors have been recently developed, and have provided promising lead candidates for combinatorial therapies associated with decreased toxicity. Gaining a better understanding of the complex interplay between transporter-mediated on-target and off-target drug disposition will help guide the further development of these novel treatment strategies to prevent drug accumulation in toxicity-associated organs, and improve the safety of currently available treatment modalities. In this report, we provide an update on this rapidly emerging field with particular emphasis on anticancer drugs belonging to the classes of taxanes, platinum derivatives, nucleoside analogs, and anthracyclines.

Previous studies have suggested that the incidence of vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy (VIPN) is potentially linked with cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A5, a polymorphic enzyme that metabolizes vincristine in vitro, and with concurrent use of azole antifungals such as ketoconazole. The assumed mechanism for these interactions is through modulation of CYP3A-mediated metabolism, leading to decreased vincristine clearance and increased susceptibility to VIPN. Given the controversy surrounding the contribution of these mechanisms, we directly tested these hypotheses in genetically engineered mouse models with a deficiency of the entire murine Cyp3a locus [Cyp3a(-/-) mice] and in humanized transgenic animals with hepatic expression of functional and nonfunctional human CYP3A5 variants. Compared with wild-type mice, the systemic exposure to vincristine was increased by only 1.15-fold (95% confidence interval, 0.84-1.58) in Cyp3a(-/-) mice, suggesting that the clearance of vincristine in mice is largely independent of hepatic Cyp3a function. In line with these observations, we found that Cyp3a deficiency or pretreatment with the CYP3A inhibitors ketoconazole or nilotinib did not influence the severity and time course of VIPN and that exposure to vincristine was not substantially altered in humanized CYP3A5*3 mice or humanized CYP3A5*1 mice compared with Cyp3a(-/-) mice. Our study suggests that the contribution of CYP3A5-mediated metabolism to vincristine elimination and the associated drug-drug interaction potential is limited and that plasma levels of vincristine are unlikely to be strongly predictive of VIPN. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The current study suggests that CYP3A5 genotype status does not substantially influence vincristine disposition and neurotoxicity in translationally relevant murine models. These findings raise concerns about the causality of previously reported relationships between variant CYP3A5 genotypes or concomitant azole use with the incidence of vincristine neurotoxicity.

Doxorubicin is a commonly used anticancer agent that can cause debilitating and irreversible cardiac injury. The initiating mechanisms contributing to this side effect remain unknown, and current preventative strategies offer only modest protection. Using stem-cell-derived cardiomyocytes from patients receiving doxorubicin, we probed the transcriptomic landscape of solute carriers and identified organic cation transporter 3 (OCT3) (SLC22A3) as a critical transporter regulating the cardiac accumulation of doxorubicin. Functional validation studies in heterologous overexpression models confirmed that doxorubicin is transported into cardiomyocytes by OCT3 and that deficiency of OCT3 protected mice from acute and chronic doxorubicin-related changes in cardiovascular function and genetic pathways associated with cardiac damage. To provide proof-of-principle and demonstrate translational relevance of this transport mechanism, we identified several pharmacological inhibitors of OCT3, including nilotinib, and found that pharmacological targeting of OCT3 can also preserve cardiovascular function following treatment with doxorubicin without affecting its plasma levels or antitumor effects in multiple models of leukemia and breast cancer. Finally, we identified a previously unrecognized, OCT3-dependent pathway of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity that results in a downstream signaling cascade involving the calcium-binding proteins S100A8 and S100A9. These collective findings not only shed light on the etiology of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, but also are of potential translational relevance and provide a rationale for the implementation of a targeted intervention strategy to prevent this debilitating side effect.

The organic anion transporting polypeptide family member (OATP) 1B3 is a hepatic uptake transporter that has a broad substrate recognition and plays a significant role in regulating elimination of endogenous biomolecules or xenobiotics. OATP1B3 works in tandem with OATP1B1, with which it shares approximately 80% sequence homology and a high degree of substrate overlap. Despite some substrates being recognized solely by OATP1B3, its ability to compensate for loss of OATP1B1-mediated elimination and recognition by regulatory agencies, little is known about OATP1B3 regulatory factors and how they are involved with drug-drug interaction. It was recently discovered that OATP1B1 function is mediated by the activity of a particular tyrosine kinase that is sensitive to a variety of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). This study reports that OATP1B3 is similarly regulated, as at least 50% of its activity is reduced by 20 US Food and Drug Administration -approved TKIs. Nilotinib was assessed as the most potent OATP1B3 inhibitor among the investigated TKIs, which can occur at clinically relevant concentrations and acted predominantly through noncompetitive inhibition without impacting membrane expression. Finally, OATP1B3 function was determined to be sensitive to the knockdown of the Lck/Yes novel tyrosine kinase that is sensitive to nilotinib and has been previously implicated in mediating OATP1B1 activity. Collectively, our findings identify tyrosine kinase activity as a major regulator of OATP1B3 function which is sensitive to kinase inhibition. Given that OATP1B1 is similarly regulated, simultaneous disruption of these transporters can have drastic effects on systemic drug concentrations, which would promote adverse events. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The organic anion transporting polypeptide family member (OATP) 1B3 is a facilitator of hepatic drug elimination, although much is unknown of how OATP1B3 activity is mediated, or how such regulators contribute to drug-drug interactions. This study reports that OATP1B3 activity is dependent on the Lck/Yes novel tyrosine kinase, which is sensitive to numerous tyrosine kinase inhibitors. These findings provide insight into the occurrence of many clinical drug-drug interactions, and a rationale for future study of tyrosine kinases regulating drug disposition.

Dofetilide is a rapid delayed rectifier potassium current inhibitor widely used to prevent the recurrence of atrial fibrillation and flutter. The clinical use of this drug is associated with increases in QTc interval, which predispose patients to ventricular cardiac arrhythmias. The mechanisms involved in the disposition of dofetilide, including its movement in and out of cardiomyocytes, remain unknown. Using a xenobiotic transporter screen, we identified MATE1 (SLC47A1) as a transporter of dofetilide and found that genetic knockout or pharmacological inhibition of MATE1 in mice was associated with enhanced retention of dofetilide in cardiomyocytes and increased QTc prolongation. The urinary excretion of dofetilide was also dependent on the MATE1 genotype, and we found that this transport mechanism provides a mechanistic basis for previously recorded drug-drug interactions of dofetilide with various contraindicated drugs, including bictegravir, cimetidine, ketoconazole, and verapamil. The translational significance of these observations was examined with a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model that adequately predicted the drug-drug interaction liabilities in humans. These findings support the thesis that MATE1 serves a conserved cardioprotective role by restricting excessive cellular accumulation and warrant caution against the concurrent administration of potent MATE1 inhibitors and cardiotoxic substrates with a narrow therapeutic window.

Gilteritinib, an FDA-approved tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of relapsed/refractory FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia, is primarily eliminated via CYP3A4-mediated metabolism, a pathway that is sensitive to the co-administration of known CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as itraconazole. However, the precise mechanism by which itraconazole and other CYP3A-modulating drugs affect the absorption and disposition of gilteritinib remains unclear. In the present investigation, we demonstrate that pretreatment with itraconazole is associated with a significant increase in the systemic exposure to gilteritinib in mice, recapitulating the observed clinical drug-drug interaction. However, the plasma levels of gilteritinib were only modestly increased in CYP3A-deficient mice and not further influenced by itraconazole. Ensuing in vitro and in vivo studies revealed that gilteritinib is a transported substrate of OATP1B-type transporters, that gilteritinib exposure is increased in mice with OATP1B2 deficiency, and that the ability of itraconazole to inhibit OATP1B-type transport in vivo is contingent on its metabolism by CYP3A isoforms. These findings provide new insight into the pharmacokinetic properties of gilteritinib and into the molecular mechanisms underlying drug-drug interactions with itraconazole.

Membrane transporters play an important role in the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of xenobiotic substrates, as well as endogenous compounds. The evaluation of transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is an important consideration during the drug development process and can guide the safe use of polypharmacy regimens in clinical practice. In recent years, several endogenous substrates of drug transporters have been identified as potential biomarkers for predicting changes in drug transport function and the potential for DDIs associated with drug candidates in early phases of drug development. These biomarker-driven investigations have been applied in both preclinical and clinical studies and proposed as a predictive strategy that can be supplanted in order to conduct prospective DDIs trials. Here we provide an overview of this rapidly emerging field, with particular emphasis on endogenous biomarkers recently proposed for clinically relevant uptake transporters.

The organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP)2B1 is localized on the basolateral membrane of hepatocytes and is expressed in enterocytes. Based on its distribution pattern and functional similarity to OATP1B-type transporters, OATP2B1 might have a role in the absorption and disposition of a range of xenobiotics. Although several prescription drugs, including hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) such as fluvastatin, are OATP2B1 substrates in vitro, evidence supporting the in vivo relevance of this transporter remains limited, and most has relied on substrate-inhibitor interactions resulting in altered pharmacokinetic properties of the victim drugs. To address this knowledge deficit, we developed and characterized an Oatp2b1-deficient mouse model and evaluated the impact of this transporter on the absorption and disposition of fluvastatin. Consistent with the intestinal localization of Oatp2b1, we found that the genetic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of Oatp2b1 was associated with decreased absorption of fluvastatin by 2- to 3-fold. The availability of a viable Oatp2b1-deficient mouse model provides an opportunity to unequivocally determine the contribution of this transporter to the absorption and drug-drug interaction potential of drugs. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The current investigation suggests that mice deficient in Oatp2b1 provide a valuable tool to study the in vivo importance of this transporter. In addition, our studies have identified novel potent inhibitors of OATP2B1 among the class of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, a rapidly expanding class of drugs used in various therapeutic areas that may cause drug-drug interactions with OATP2B1 substrates.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a potentially fatal syndrome characterized by a rapid decline in kidney function caused by ischemic or toxic injury to renal tubular cells. The widely used chemotherapy drug cisplatin accumulates preferentially in the renal tubular cells and is a frequent cause of drug-induced AKI. During the development of AKI the quiescent tubular cells reenter the cell cycle. Strategies that block cell-cycle progression ameliorate kidney injury, possibly by averting cell division in the presence of extensive DNA damage. However, the early signaling events that lead to cell-cycle activation during AKI are not known. In the current study, using mouse models of cisplatin nephrotoxicity, we show that the G1/S-regulating cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) pathway is activated in parallel with renal cell-cycle entry but before the development of AKI. Targeted inhibition of CDK4/6 pathway by small-molecule inhibitors palbociclib (PD-0332991) and ribociclib (LEE011) resulted in inhibition of cell-cycle progression, amelioration of kidney injury, and improved overall survival. Of additional significance, these compounds were found to be potent inhibitors of organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2), which contributes to the cellular accumulation of cisplatin and subsequent kidney injury. The unique cell-cycle and OCT2-targeting activities of palbociclib and LEE011, combined with their potential for clinical translation, support their further exploration as therapeutic candidates for prevention of AKI.

FLT3 kinase internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutations are common in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and are associated with poor clinical outcomes. Although initial responses to FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are observed in FLT3-ITD-positive patients, subsequent relapse often occurs upon acquisition of secondary FLT3 kinase domain (KD) mutations, primarily at residues D835 and F691. Using biochemical assays, we determined that crenolanib, a novel TKI, demonstrates type I properties and is active against FLT3 containing ITD and/or D835- or F691-activating mutations. Potent activity was observed in FLT3-ITD-positive AML cell lines. Crenolanib delayed the outgrowth of MV4-11 cells in a xenograft mouse model, whereas in combination with the type II TKI sorafenib, a significant decrease in leukemic burden (P < .001) and prolonged survival (P < .01) was observed compared with either type I or II TKI alone. Crenolanib was active against Ba/F3 cells harboring FLT3-ITD and secondary KD mutations and sorafenib-resistant MOLM-13 cells containing FLT3-ITD/D835Y both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, crenolanib inhibited drug-resistant AML primary blasts with FLT3-ITD and D835H/Y mutations. These preclinical data demonstrate that crenolanib is effective against FLT3-ITD containing secondary KD mutations, suggesting that crenolanib may be a useful therapeutic agent for TKI-naive and drug-resistant FLT3-ITD-positive AML.

A liquid chromatography - electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) method was developed for the quantification of letrozole, a third-generation aromatase inhibitor, and its main carbinol metabolite (CM) in support of murine pharmacokinetic studies. Using polarity switching, simultaneous ESI-MS measurement of letrozole and CM was achieved in positive and negative mode, respectively. The assay procedure involved a one-step protein precipitation and extraction of all analytes from mouse plasma requiring only 5 µL of sample. Separation was optimized on an Accucore aQ column with gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min in 5 min. Two calibration curves per day over four consecutive measurement days showed satisfactory linear responses (r2 > 0.99) over concentration ranges of 5-1000 ng/mL and 20-2000 ng/mL for letrozole and CM, respectively. No matrix effect was found, and the mean extraction recoveries were 103-108 % for letrozole and 99.8-107 % for CM. Precision and accuracy within a single run and over four consecutive measurement days were verified to be within acceptable limits. Application of the developed method to preclinical pharmacokinetic studies in mice receiving oral letrozole at a dose 1 or 10 mg/kg revealed that the systemic exposure to letrozole was dose-, formulation-, and strain-dependent. These findings may inform the future design of preclinical studies aimed at refining the pharmacological profile of this clinically important drug.

Vincristine is a widely used chemotherapeutic drug for the treatment of multiple malignant diseases that causes a dose-limiting peripheral neurotoxicity. There is no clinically effective preventative treatment for vincristine-induced sensory peripheral neurotoxicity (VIPN), and mechanistic details of this side effect remain poorly understood. We hypothesized that VIPN is dependent on transporter-mediated vincristine accumulation in dorsal root ganglion neurons. Using a xenobiotic transporter screen, we identified OATP1B3 as a neuronal transporter regulating the uptake of vincristine. In addition, genetic or pharmacological inhibition of the murine orthologue transporter OATP1B2 protected mice from various hallmarks of VIPN - including mechanical allodynia, thermal hyperalgesia, and changes in digital maximal action potential amplitudes and neuronal morphology - without negatively affecting plasma levels or antitumor effects of vincristine. Finally, we identified α-tocopherol from an untargeted metabolomics analysis as a circulating endogenous biomarker of neuronal OATP1B2 function, and it could serve as a companion diagnostic to guide dose selection of OATP1B-type transport modulators given in combination with vincristine to prevent VIPN. Collectively, our findings shed light on the fundamental basis of VIPN and provide a rationale for the clinical development of transporter inhibitors to prevent this debilitating side effect.

Membrane transporters play a key role in determining the pharmacokinetic profile, therapeutic safety, and efficacy of many chemotherapeutic drugs by regulating cellular influx and efflux. Rapidly emerging evidence has shown that tissue-specific expression of transporters contributes to local drug accumulation and drug-drug interactions and that functional alterations in these transporters can directly influence an individual's susceptibility to drug-induced toxicity. Comprehending the complex mechanism of transporter function in regulating drug distribution in tissues, such as the heart, is necessary in order to acquire novel therapeutic strategies aimed at evading unwanted drug accumulation and toxicities and to ameliorate the safety of current therapeutic regimens. Here, we provide an overview of membrane transporters with a role in chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity and discuss novel strategies to improve therapeutic outcomes.

INTRODUCTION: Members of the solute carrier family of organic anion transporting polypeptides are responsible for the cellular uptake of a broad range of endogenous compounds and xenobiotics in multiple tissues. In particular, the polymorphic transporters OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 are highly expressed in the liver and have been identified as critical regulators of hepatic elimination. As these transporters are also expressed in cancer cells, the function alteration of these proteins have important consequences for an individual's susceptibility to certain drug-induced side effects, drug-drug interactions, and treatment efficacy. AREAS COVERED: In this mini-review, we provide an update of this rapidly emerging field, with specific emphasis on the direct contribution of genetic variants in OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 to the transport of anticancer drugs, the role of these carriers in regulation of their disposition and toxicity profiles, and recent advances in attempts to integrate information on transport function in patients to derive individualized treatment strategies. EXPERT OPINION: Based on currently available data, it appears imperative that different aspects of disease, physiology, and drugs of relevance should be evaluated along with an individual's genetic signature, and that tools such as biomarker levels can be implemented to achieve the most reliable prediction of clinically relevant pharmacodynamic endpoints.

Glycochenodeoxycholate-3-sulfate (GCDCA-S) and chenodeoxycholate-24-glucuronide (CDCA-24G) are bile acid metabolites that potentially serve as endogenous biomarkers for drug-drug interactions mediated by the hepatic uptake transporters OATP1B1 and OATP1B3. We developed and validated a novel UHPLC-MS/MS method for the quantitative determination of GCDCA-S and CDCA-24G in mouse and human plasma with a lower limit of quantitation of 0.5 ng/mL. Chromatographic separation was achieved on an Accucore aQ column (50 mm × 2.1 mm, dp = 2.6 µm) maintained at 20 °C and a gradient mobile phase comprising 2 mM ammonium acetate in water and methanol. The extraction recoveries of GCDCA-S and CDCA-24G were >80 %, and linear (r2 > 0.99) calibration curves ranged 0.5-100 ng/mL (CDCA-24G and GCDCA-S in mouse plasma) or 0.5-1000 ng/mL (GCDCA-S in mouse plasma). Values for precision (CV < 11.6 %) and accuracy bias (10.9 %) of analyte-spiked quality control samples verified that water was an acceptable matrix to prepare calibrators. This method was successfully applied to establish baseline activity of OATP1B1/OATP1B3 in humans and mice and establish the in vivo effects of OATP1B1/OATP1B3 inhibitors rifampin and micafungin.

Oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (OIPN) is a debilitating side effect that afflicts ~90% of patients that is initiated by OCT2-dependent uptake of oxaliplatin in DRG neurons. The antidepressant drug duloxetine has been used to treat OIPN, although its usefulness in preventing this side effect remains unclear. We hypothesized that duloxetine has OCT2-inhibitory properties and can be used as an adjunct to oxaliplatin-based regimens to prevent OIPN. Transport studies were performed in cells stably transfected with mouse or human OCT2 and in isolated mouse DRG neurons ex vivo. Wild-type and OCT2-deficient mice were used to assess effects of duloxetine on hallmarks of OIPN, endogenous OCT2 biomarkers, and the pharmacokinetics of oxaliplatin, and the translational feasibility of a duloxetine-oxaliplatin combination was evaluated in various models of colorectal cancer. We found that duloxetine potently inhibited the OCT2-mediated transport of several xenobiotic substrates, including oxaliplatin, in a reversible, concentration-dependent manner, and independent of species and cell context. Furthermore, duloxetine restricted access of these substrates to DRG neurons ex vivo and prevented OIPN in wild-type mice to a degree similar to the complete protection observed in OCT2-deficient mice, without affecting the plasma levels of oxaliplatin. Importantly, the uptake and cytotoxicity of oxaliplatin in tumor cell lines in vitro and in vivo were not negatively influenced by duloxetine. The observed OCT2-targeting properties of duloxetine, combined with the potential for clinical translation, provide support for its further exploration as a therapeutic candidate for studies aimed at preventing OIPN in cancer patients requiring treatment with oxaliplatin. Significance: We found that duloxetine has potent OCT2-inhibitory properties and can diminish excessive accumulation of oxaliplatin into DRG neurons. In addition, pre-treatment of mice with duloxetine prevented OIPN without significantly altering the plasma pharmacokinetics and antitumor properties of oxaliplatin. These results suggest that intentional inhibition of OCT2-mediated transport by duloxetine can be employed as a prevention strategy to ameliorate OIPN without compromising the effectiveness of oxaliplatin-based treatment.

In recent years, various endogenous compounds have been proposed as putative biomarkers for the hepatic uptake transporters OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 that have the potential to predict transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions (DDIs). However, these compounds have often been identified from top-down strategies and have not been fully utilized as a substitute for traditional DDI studies. In an attempt to eliminate observer bias in biomarker selection, we applied a bottom-up, untargeted metabolomics screening approach in mice and found that plasma levels of the conjugated bile acid chenodeoxycholate-24-glucuronide (CDCA-24G) are particularly sensitive to deletion of the orthologous murine transporter Oatp1b2 (31-fold increase vs. wild type) or the entire Oatp1a/1b(-/-)cluster (83-fold increased), whereas the humanized transgenic overexpression of hepatic OATP1B1 or OATP1B3 resulted in the partial restoration of transport function. Validation studies with the OATP1B1/OATP1B3 inhibitors rifampin and paclitaxel in vitro as well as in mice and human subjects confirmed that CDCA-24G is a sensitive and rapid response biomarker to dose-dependent transporter inhibition. Collectively, our study confirmed the ability of CDCA-24G to serve as a sensitive and selective endogenous biomarker of OATP1B-type transport function and suggests a template for the future development of biomarkers for other clinically important xenobiotic transporters.
RESUMO
Over the last decade, significant progress been made in elucidating the role of membrane transporters in altering drug disposition, with important toxicological consequences due to changes in localized concentrations of compounds. The topic of "Transporters and Toxicity" was recently highlighted as a scientific session at the International Transporter Consortium (ITC) Workshop 4 in 2021. The current white paper is not intended to be an extensive review on the topic of transporters and toxicity but an opportunity to highlight aspects of the role of transporters in various toxicities with clinically relevant implications as covered during the session. This includes a review of the role of solute carrier transporters in anticancer drug-induced organ injury, transporters as key players in organ barrier function, and the role of transporters in metal/metalloid toxicity.

Membrane transport proteins are involved in the absorption, disposition, efficacy, and/or toxicity of many drugs. Numerous mechanisms (e.g., nuclear receptors, epigenetic gene regulation, microRNAs, alternative splicing, post-translational modifications, and trafficking) regulate transport protein levels, localization, and function. Various factors associated with disease, medications, and dietary constituents, for example, may alter the regulation and activity of transport proteins in the intestine, liver, kidneys, brain, lungs, placenta, and other important sites, such as tumor tissue. This white paper reviews key mechanisms and regulatory factors that alter the function of clinically relevant transport proteins involved in drug disposition. Current considerations with in vitro and in vivo models that are used to investigate transporter regulation are discussed, including strengths, limitations, and the inherent challenges in predicting the impact of changes due to regulation of one transporter on compensatory pathways and overall drug disposition. In addition, translation and scaling of in vitro observations to in vivo outcomes are considered. The importance of incorporating altered transporter regulation in modeling and simulation approaches to predict the clinical impact on drug disposition is also discussed. Regulation of transporters is highly complex and, therefore, identification of knowledge gaps will aid in directing future research to expand our understanding of clinically relevant molecular mechanisms of transporter regulation. This information is critical to the development of tools and approaches to improve therapeutic outcomes by predicting more accurately the impact of regulation-mediated changes in transporter function on drug disposition and response.
