Abstract

For most antiviral drugs, low or variable bioavailability is attributed to poor absorption, susceptibility to efflux, or first pass metabolism. Enaminones are beta dicarbonyl compounds, which display P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate properties with high efflux ratios. This study investigates the influence of DM27, an enaminone, on the in vitro transport of antiviral agents and the possibility of using DM27 as a P-gp inhibitor to prevent the efflux of certain antiretroviral agents. The transport of [3H]amprenavir, [3H]saquinavir, [3H]ritonavir, [14C]zidovudine (AZT) and [3H]acyclovir was evaluated across Caco-2 cells with DM27 (10(-10)-10(-4) M). In addition, the effect of DM27 (10(-6) M) on the transport of transcellular and paracellular markers was tested to evaluate its influence on these transport pathways. The apparent permeability coefficient (Papp) for each drug or marker was calculated with/without DM27 and toxicity evaluation for DM27 was performed using the MTS assay. The mean Papp for the investigated antiviral agents significantly increased by 22%-51% after DM27 incubation without any toxicity to the Caco-2 cells. In addition, DM27 did not influence the transcellular or paracellular transport of propranolol and mannit...Continue Reading
