  16. Paracellular versus Transcellular Transport Ref. 8: Wielinga, et al., J. Pharm. Sci, 88(12), 1340, 1999.

  17. Paracellular Permeability Enhancers • Examples: Ca++chelators, bile salts, anionic surfactants, medium chain FAs, alkyl glycerols, cationic polymers, cytochalsin D, hormones, TNF-α, enterotoxins, zonula occludens toxin (V. cholerae) • Substrates: Ions, mannitol, ceftoxin, dextrans, proteins • Advantages: • hydrophilic & macromolecular substrates • avoids intracellular degradation • Disadvantages: • toxicity due high mM concentrations needed • non-selectivity of substrate transport • Concern: systemic toxicity of lumenal contents, blood brain barrier effects (intended and/or not)

  18. Pinocytosis, Endocytosis, and Receptor Mediated Transcytosis • Pinocytosis (cell sipping - non-mediated) • non-specific, non-saturable, bulk fluid phase uptake, large particles, polymer-conjugates, obsolete term? • Endocytosis (receptor-mediated uptake) • specific, relevant to macromolecules, used to deliver small molecules as prodrugs, mediates clearance • insulin, growth hormone, erythropoetin, G-CSR, ILs • Transcytosis (receptor-mediated uptake and secretion on the translateral surface) • useful for macromolecules and small molecule prodrugs, GI, BBB, and pulmonary epithelia. • Protein translocation domain fusions (mechanism?) • Antennapedia homeodomain, HIV TAT protein, R7

  19. Transcytosis Delivery of Prodrug vesicular transport Brain Blood From: Bickel & Pardridge in Ref. 22, p. 30. Transferrin receptor-mediated transcytosis of an mAB-avidin-biotin-disulfide cross-linked vasoactive intestinal peptide. Endothelial Cell TfR, VitB12R, FcRn, PigR are under commercial development.

  20. Passive Diffusion • Characteristics of passive diffusion • kin = kout, net rate = k([So] - [Si]), non-selective • Model Membranes (experimental systems) • monolayers, bilayers, liposomes, BLMs, IAMs • Membrane Models (functional/mathematical) • structural, electrical, single/multiple barrier, partition adsorption/diffusive, unstirred layers • Simulation of bilayers and transport • molecular dynamics - diffusion within bilayer • QSAR - structure/transport correlations

  21. Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Membrane Diffusion From: Bassolino-Klimas, Alper and Stouch, ref. 16. See also ref. 17. Snapshot from 10 nsec MD simulation in 100 fs steps. Showed hopping motions of 8 Å over ca 5 psec vs RMS motions of 1.5 Å. Motions differ in center and near surface, both differ from bulk organic. Rotational isomerizations (gauche/trans) gate channels between voids. Differing motions available to adamantane, nifedipine.

  22. QSAR of Transport • Hansch Equation • log (1/C) = -k(logP)2 + k'(logP) + + k" • C = dose or [S] for effect (ED50, IC50, rate) • logP = partition coef or  = lipophilicity factor •  = Hammett electronic substituent effects • k, k', k",  = regression coefficients • Free-Wilson Model • BA = ajXj +  • BA = biological activity (e.g., log(1/c)) • aj = substituent constant, Xj = substituent presence,  = overall average activity

ABSORPTION - log (%abs), log Perm, log k Barbiturates Gastric log PCHCL3/w Sulfonamides Gastric log Pisoam-OAC/w Anilines Gastric pKa Xanthines Intestine Distribution Coef C-glycosides Intestine log Po/w, Rm Excretion - log (%excreted), log ClR, log k Penicillins Biliary logP, Rm Suflathiazoles Biliary logPo/w, pKa Sufapyridines Renal Rm, pKa Sulfonamides Renal , pKa Amphetamines Renal logPh/w

  24. QSAR Conclusions Passive Diffusion is a function of: • Lipophilicity (logPo/w or CLOGP) • GI (0.5-2.0), buccal (4-4.5), topical (>2.0) • Hydrogen bond donors/acceptors, polarity/charge • Water solubility (measured or calculated) • melting point, solvation energy, pH/buffers • pKa - fraction of neutral species available • mw - D  1/mw; mw < 500 Da • Confounding factors - inaccurate data, paracellular transport, mediated transport

Mediated Transport: Facilitated Diffusion and Active Transport • Rates > passive, solute specific, high Q10 • Non-symmetrical (kin kout at [Si] = [So]) • Saturable transport - Michaelis-Menten • Inhibitable - competitive, non-competitive • Regulated - inducibility & repression • Tissue specific- differential expression • Energy dependent - active transport • primary pumps - respiration, photosyn, ATPase • secondary transporters (coupled to H+, Na+ etc.)

Exploiting Nutrient Transporters to Enhance Drug Bioavailability • Valacyclovir is an amino acid ester prodrug of the antiviral drug acyclovir. • Oral biovailability (AUC) is increased in humans 3-5x. • Intestinal permeability in a rat perfusion model is increased 3-10x. Effect is specific (SAR), stereospecific (L), saturable, and inhibitable by PEPT1 subsrates (cephalexin, dipeptides), and by gly-acyclovir, val-AZT. • Competitive with 3H-gly-sarc in CHO/hPEPT1 cells. • Enhanced, saturable, inhibitable mucosal to serosal transport demonstrated in CACO-2 cells and accompanied by hydrolysis.

  45. Drug Interactions & Drug Transport • Digoxin - non-metabolized substrate for PgP • Verapamil, amiodarone, and quinidine increase plasma levels, reduce renal and non-renal clearance, increase blood/brain barrier transport. • Dose adjustment may be needed in 50% of cases. • St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) decreased digoxin AUC by 25% after 10 days treatment through induction of PgP. • HIV Protease Inhibitors • Amprenavir clearance reduced by nelfinavir (-41%) and by indinavir (-54%), but not saquinavir. • FDA warning against Hypericum supplements

Initiation of valspodar (400 mg followed by 200 mg twice per day) caused immediate and progressive increases in digoxin AUC (+211%) and decreases in total body, renal, and non-renal clearance (-67%, -73%, -58%) after 5 days. • BCRP (breast cancer resistance protein or ABCG2) • Inhibited by fungal toxin fumitremorgin C, but neurotoxic side effects • Kol143 and other derived analogs developed inhibit BCRP, but not PgP or MRP • Non-toxic in mice, increased oral availability of topotecan in mice • RFC (reduced folate carrier) - antifolate drugs (methotrexate) • Resistant leukemia cell lines were selected by stepwise doses • Cross resistance (>2000x) to five novel hydrophilic antifolates shown • Intracellular folate levels reduced, increased requirement 42x • Hypersensitive to hydrophobic antifolates • Mutations clustered in exons 2 and 3, TMD1
