In vitro transport of abacavir across the monolayer of Caco-2 cells; interaction with etravirine and rilpivirine
Mlčochová, Alice ; Čečková, Martina (advisor) ; Červený, Lukáš (referee)
Charles University in Prague Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology Student: Alice Mlčochová Supervisor: PharmDr. Martina Čečková, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: In vitro transport of abacavir across the monolayer of Caco-2 cells; interaction with etravirine and rilpivirine. Abacavir belongs among nucleoside reverse transciptase inhibitors (NRTIs) representing a basic component of combined antiretroviral therapy used in treatment of HIV-positive patients [1]. Etravirine and rilpivirine are newer non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) combined in cART together with NRTI. ATP-dependent transporters, so called ABC transporters, are able to affect pharmacokinetic properties of drugs, thus they are important site of drug-drug interactions affecting absorption, distribution and excretion level. P-glycoprotein (Pgp, ABCB1) and BCRP (ABCG2) belong among the most clinically important ABC transporters able to cause drug-drug interactions. The aim of this thesis was to introduce and optimize the method for evaluation of drug absorption using monolayers of Caco-2human intestine cell lines, whose integrity was verified by evaluating TEER (transepithelial electrical resistance). This model was also used for abacavir transport studies. Significant...

Study on interaction potential of maraviroc with drug transporters ABCB1 and ABCG2
Erbenová, Kateřina ; Čečková, Martina (advisor) ; Červený, Lukáš (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology Student: Kateřina Erbenová Supervisor: PharmDr. Martina Čečková, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Study of interactions antiretroviral drug maraviroc with drug transporters ABCB1 and ABCG2. Maraviroc is inhibitor of CCR5 HIV virus entry into the cells representing one of the important components of antiretroviral therapy. To optimize the treatment strategies and minimize the therapeutic risks of maraviroc-containing combination antiretroviral therapy, it is important to know the interactions of this drug with other antiretrovirals. In particular, interaction on membrane transporters may affect pharmacokinetics and thereby the tissue concentrations of administered drugs, leading to insufficient efficacy of the therapy or increased toxicity. The aim of this study was to experimentally evaluate interaction of maraviroc with the two most important active drug transporters of the ABC transporter superfamily, ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein) and ABCG2 (BCRP). Using in vitro methods employing cell lines we aimed to fulfil two main goals: (1) to evaluate the inhibitory effect of maraviroc on ABCB1 and ABCG2 transporters and (2) to study if any of these transporters could transfer maraviroc as their substrate. The data...
