Stereoselectivity in Cell Uptake by SLC22 Organic Cation Transporters 1, 2, and 3
Stereoselectivity can be most relevant in drug metabolism and receptor binding. Although drug membrane transport might be equally important for small-molecule pharmacokinetics, the extent of stereoselectivity in membrane transport is largely unknown.

Imbalance of Drug Transporter-CYP450s Interplay by Diabetes and Its Clinical Significance
The pharmacokinetics of a drug is dependent upon the coordinate work of influx transporters, enzymes and efflux transporters (i.e., transporter-enzyme interplay). The transporter–enzyme interplay may occur in liver, kidney and intestine.

Inhibition of Human Drug Transporter Activities by the Pyrethroid Pesticides Allethrin and Tetramethrin. [PDF]
Pyrethroids are widely-used chemical insecticides, to which humans are commonly exposed, and known to alter functional expression of drug metabolizing enzymes. Limited data have additionally suggested that drug transporters, that constitute key-actors of

The Potentials of Ergothioneine in the management of diseases in animals
The amino acid histidine is the source of the special nutraceutical ergothioneine (ERG), which is a potent antioxidant. Higher plants and animals, who obtain it from the soil and their food, respectively, do not synthesize it; instead, they obtain it ...

Enhanced and Persistent Inhibition of Organic Cation Transporter 1 Activity by Preincubation of Cyclosporine A [PDF]
Recent pharmacogenetic evidence indicates that hepatic organic cation transporter (OCT) 1 can serve as the locus of drug-drug interactions (DDIs) with significant pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic consequences. We examined the impact of preincubation on the extent of OCT1 inhibition in transfected human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells.

Cadmium Uptake by Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.): An Overview
Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal that may be detected in soils and plants. Wheat, as a food consumed by 60% of the world’s population, may uptake a high quantity of Cd through its roots and translocate Cd to the shoots and grains thus posing risks to human

Association between the synonymous variant organic cation transporter 3 (OCT3)-1233G>A and the glycemic response following metformin therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes [PDF]
Objective(s): Organic cation transporter 3 (OCT3) as a high-capacity transporter contribute to the metabolism of metformin. The present study was conducted to determine the genotype frequencies of the variant OCT3-1233G>A (rs2292334) in patients with ...

Down-regulation of the organic cation transporter 1 of rat liver in obstructive cholestasis [PDF]
The liver plays a major role in biotransformation and elimination of various therapeutic agents and xenobiotics, many of which are organic cations and substrates of the organic cation transporter 1 (Oct1, Slc22a1). Oct1 is expressed at the basolateral membranes of hepatocytes and proximal renal tubules.
