Investigation of Fluorescein Derivatives as Substrates of Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 To Develop Sensitive Fluorescence-Based OATP1B1 Inhibition Assays
Organic
anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 plays an important
role in the hepatic uptake of various drugs. Because OATP1B1 is a
site of drug–drug interactions (DDIs), evaluating the inhibitory
potential of drug candidates on OATP1B1 is required during drug development.
For establishing a highly sensitive, high-throughput fluorescence-based
OATP1B1 inhibition assay system, the present study focused on fluorescein
(FL) and its derivatives and evaluated their uptake via OATP1B1 as
well as OATP1B3 and OATP2B1 using the transporter-expressing human
embryonic kidney 293 cells. We identified 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein
(DCF), 4′,5′-dibromofluorescein (DBF), and Oregon green
(OG) as good OATP1B1 substrates with <i>K</i><sub>m</sub> values of 5.29, 4.16, and 54.1 ÎĽM and <i>V</i><sub>max</sub> values of 87.9, 48.1, and 187 pmol/min/mg protein, respectively.
In addition to FL, fluo-3, and 8-fluorescein-cAMP, OG, and DBF were
identified as OATP1B3 substrates. FL, OG, DCF, and DBF were identified
as OATP2B1 substrates. Among the FL derivatives, DCF displayed the
highest OATP1B1-mediated uptake. The <i>K</i><sub>i</sub> values of 14 compounds on OATP1B1 determined with DCF as a probe
exhibited good agreement with those obtained using [<sup>3</sup>H]Âestradiol-17β-glucuronide
(E<sub>2</sub>G) as a substrate, whereas [<sup>3</sup>H]Âestrone-3-sulfate
and [<sup>3</sup>H]Âsulfobromophthalein yielded higher <i>K</i><sub>i</sub> values for all inhibitors than DCF. Mutually competitive
inhibition observed between DCF and E<sub>2</sub>G suggested that
they share the same binding site on OATP1B1. Therefore, DCF as well
as E<sub>2</sub>G can be used as sensitive probes for in vitro OATP1B1
inhibition assays, which will help mitigate the risk of false-negative
DDI predictions potentially caused by substrate-dependent <i>K</i><sub>i</sub> variations
Discovery of 2‑(2-Oxo-1-phenyl-5-pyridin-2-yl-1,2-dihydropyridin-3-yl)benzonitrile (Perampanel): A Novel, Noncompetitive α‑Amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropanoic Acid (AMPA) Receptor Antagonist
Dysfunction of glutamatergic neurotransmission has been
implicated
in the pathogenesis of epilepsy and numerous other neurological diseases.
Here we describe the discovery of a series of 1,3,5-triaryl-1<i>H</i>-pyridin-2-one derivatives as noncompetitive antagonists
of AMPA-type ionotropic glutamate receptors. The structure–activity
relationships for this series of compounds were investigated by manipulating
individual aromatic rings located at positions 1, 3, and 5 of the
pyridone ring. This culminated in the discovery of 2-(2-oxo-1-phenyl-5-pyridin-2-yl-1,2-dihydropyridin-3-yl)Âbenzonitrile
(perampanel, <b>6</b>), a novel, noncompetitive AMPA receptor
antagonist that showed potent activity in an in vitro AMPA-induced
Ca<sup>2+</sup> influx assay (IC<sub>50</sub> = 60 nM) and in an in
vivo AMPA-induced seizure model (minimum effective dose of 2 mg/kg
po). Perampanel is currently in regulatory submission for partial-onset
seizures associated with epilepsy
Representative PET images illustrating distribution of [<sup>11</sup>C] WAY-100635 in rat brains at baseline and after oral administration of E2110.
<p>PET images were generated by averaging dynamic data at 60-90 min after intravenous radiotracer injection, and were overlaid on the MRI template shown in the far left column. Coronal brain sections shown here were obtained at 1.0 mm (top row), -7.8 mm (middle row) and -12.5 mm (bottom row) from the bregma. ROIs (dotted lines) were defined on the MPFC (top row), DRN (middle row) and cerebellum (CER; bottom row).
