2. 1. Intestinal Permeability and Presystemic Extraction of Fexofenadine and R/S-verapamil

   Author : Christer Tannergren; Hans Lennernäs; Dirk KF Meijer; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biopharmacy; Bioavailability; Fexofenadine; Verapamil; P-glycoprotein; CYP3A4; OATP; Enantioselective; Permeability; Caco-2; Intestinal perfusion; Biofarmaci; Biopharmacy; Biofarmaci;

   Abstract : The main objective of this thesis was to investigate the in vivo relevance of membrane transporters and cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4-mediated metabolism in the intestine and liver for the bioavailability of drugs in humans after oral administration.In the first part of the thesis, the main transport mechanisms involved in the intestinal absorption and bioavailability were investigated for fexofenadine, a minimally metabolized drug, which is a substrate for P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and members of organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) family.

   Abstract : The aims of this thesis were to study the in vivo relevance of membrane transporters for intestinal absorption and the hepatic disposition of drugs in humans and preclinical models. Fexofenadine is a substrate for ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein) and members of the organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP/SLCO) family. READ MORE
