Halodová, Veronika ; Červený, Lukáš (advisor) ; Vokřál, Ivan (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology Student: Veronika Halodová Supervisor: doc. PharmDr. Lukáš Červený, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: In vitro and ex vivo study of drug-drug interactions of antivirals on intestinal membrane transporters Tenofovir (TFV) is the first-line agent in the treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection for patients aged over 12 years and one of the first-line choices for the combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) of infections caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Two commercially available prodrugs have been developed for oral administration of TFV, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF). These prodrugs increase TFV membrane permeability and oral bioavailability. One of the factors that can affect the bioavailability of orally administrated drugs is active transport mediated by efflux transporters, mainly by P-glycoprotein (ABCB1, P-gp) and Breast cancer resistance protein (ABCG2, BCRP). It has been already proved that TDF and TAF are substrates of both of these transporters. The goal of this diploma thesis was to use in vitro and ex vivo models of intestinal barrier to assess the impact of the efflux transporters on TDF and TAF transport in the intestine and on their...

In vitro study of drug-drug interactions of HIV protease inhibitor darunavir on efflux ABC transporters
Bezděková, Dominika ; Červený, Lukáš (advisor) ; Vokřál, Ivan (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology Student: Dominika Bezděková Supervisor: doc. PharmDr. Lukáš Červený, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: IN VITRO STUDY OF DRUG-DRUG INTERACTIONS OF HIV PROTEASE INHIBITOR DARUNAVIR ON EFFLUX ABC TRANSPORTERS Abstract: Darunavir is a drug used in the therapy of HIV belonging to the group of protease inhibitors. These protease inhibitors are used as a part of the combination antiretroviral therapy. For the increase of bioavailability, darunavir is always used in combination with ritonavir or cobicistat. As the CYP3A4 and ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein) transporter substrate, darunavir is a drug with a high potential to drug interactions. Considering the amount of adverse effects that can be caused by darunavir, it is necessary to know these drug interactions for the safety of therapy. Inhibition of the intestinal ABCB1 by the co-administrated drugs could also lead to the increased bioavailability of darunavir and to reduction of frequency of administration leading to a cheaper therapy. This thesis studies the drug-drug interactions of darunavir with in vitro methods using two cell lines - MDCKII and Caco-2 cells. The results from the transport of darunavir across the MDCKII cell monolayer indicates that darunavir is a ABCB1...

Role of drug transporters in placental transfer of entecavir
Lukášová, Veronika ; Červený, Lukáš (advisor) ; Hofman, Jakub (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology Student: Veronika Křečková Supervisor: PharmDr. Lukáš Červený, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Role of drug transporters in placental transfer of entecavir Entecavir (ETV), an analogue of guanosine, is a highly efficient anti-hepatitis B antiviral drug. It is the first-line therapy for both adults and children. Its use in pregnancy is limited due to a number of factors, including lack of data on placental pharmacokinetics. The placental transition of drugs is frequently controlled by drug transporters. ATP-binding (ABC) transporters, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) or multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2) localized in the apical membrane of syncytiotrophoblast and pumping their substrates in the feto-maternal direction belong to most significant determinants of placental pharmacokinetics. Moreover placental transport of nucleoside-derived drugs can be affected by the activity of nucleoside transporters (NTs); equilibrative nucleoside transporters (ENTs) mediate facilitated diffussion, while the concentrative nucleoside transporters (CNTs) control active influx of their substrates. The aim of the diploma thesis was to describe the role of P-gp, BCRP, MRP2 and NTs (ENTs and...

Study of drug-drug interactions of antiviral drugs on intestinal transporters
Záboj, Zdeněk ; Červený, Lukáš (advisor) ; Vokřál, Ivan (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology Student: Zdeněk Záboj Supervisor: PharmDr. Lukáš Červený, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Study of drugs interactions of antiviral drugs with intestinal transporters Sofosbuvir is an antiviral agent widely used in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C. This orally administered prodrug is a designed substrate of ATP-binding (ABC) efflux transporters, P- glycoprotein (ABCB1) and breast cancer resistance protein (ABCG2). ABCB1 and ABCG2 are important determinants of intestinal absorption and are the site of significant pharmacokinetic drug interactions, leading to changes in drug exposure. Pharmacokinetic drug interactions may be undesirable (increasing the toxicity of the treatment) or desirable (allowing dose reduction). Because sofosbuvir is often administered in combination regimens with other anti(retro)virotics, the aim of this thesis was to study the ability to enhance intestinal absorption of sofosbuvir. To study the pharmacokinetic drug interactions on ABCB1 and ABCG2, a widely established in vitro bi-directional transport method through a polarized monolayer formed by the Caco-2 cell line derived from colorectal cancer has been used. We analyzed the drug interactions of sofosbuvir on these efflux...

Study of effects of prolonged administration of emtricitabine on expression of ABC efflux transporters in maternal and fetal organs
Havlová, Ivana ; Červený, Lukáš (advisor) ; Hofman, Jakub (referee)
Charles University in Prague Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology Student: Ivana Havlová Supervisor: PharmDr. Lukáš Červený, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Study of effects of prolonged administration of emtricitabine on expression of ABC efflux transporters in maternal and fetal organs The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the effect of chronic administration of antiretroviral substance emtricitabine (FTC) on expression of drug efflux ABC-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in the placenta, maternal and fetal organs (brain, liver, kidney, small intestine) of pregnant rats. We focused on two most important representatives of drug efflux ABC transporters, P-glycoprotein (MDR1) and Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP). Knowledge of FTC effects on gene expression of these transporters is crucial especially when using FTC in combination therapy, known as Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART). Changes in MDR1/BCRP expression may lead to significantly altered pharmacokinetics of concomitantly administered drugs. First, bioavailability was analyzed. AUC of FTC (3,5 mg/kg) following i.m. administration was comparable to that one after i.v. administration allowing us to use i.m. application as a route of FTC administration to rats. Subsequently,...
