An update on placental drug transport and its relevance to fetal drug exposure
Pregnant women are often complicated with diseases that require treatment with medication. Most drugs administered to pregnant women are off-label without the necessary dose, efficacy, and safety information. Knowledge concerning drug transfer across the

Unique metabolite preferences of the drug transporters OAT1 and OAT3 analyzed by machine learning
The multispecific organic anion transporters, OAT1 (SLC22A6) and OAT3 (SLC22A8), the main kidney elimination pathways for many common drugs, are often considered to have largely-redundant roles.

Lesinurad, a novel, oral compound for gout, acts to decrease serum uric acid through inhibition of urate transporters in the kidney. [PDF]
BackgroundExcess body burden of uric acid promotes gout. Diminished renal clearance of uric acid causes hyperuricemia in most patients with gout, and the renal urate transporter (URAT)1 is important for regulation of serum uric acid (sUA) levels.

Multiple blood-brain barrier transport mechanisms limit bumetanide accumulation, and therapeutic potential, in the mammalian brain [PDF]
There is accumulating evidence that bumetanide, which has been used over decades as a potent loop diuretic, also exerts effects on brain disorders, including autism, neonatal seizures, and epilepsy, which are not related to its effects on the kidney but ...

Energetics and Mechanism of Drug Transport Mediated by the Lactococcal Multidrug Transporter LmrP [PDF]
The gene encoding the secondary multidrug transporter LmrP of Lactococcus lactis was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. The energetics and mechanism of drug extrusion mediated by LmrP were studied in membrane vesicles of E. coli. LmrP-mediated

Using cellular fitness to map the structure and function of a major facilitator superfamily effluxer. [PDF]
The major facilitator superfamily (MFS) effluxers are prominent mediators of antimicrobial resistance. The biochemical characterization of MFS proteins is hindered by their complex membrane environment that makes in vitro biochemical analysis challenging.

Utilizing in vitro transporter data in IVIVE-PBPK: an overview
In vitro-in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) integrated in physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models have been increasingly used during drug discovery and development processes to predict human pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters.
