Interactions Between Emodin and Efflux Transporters on Rat Enterocyte by a Validated Ussing Chamber Technique

Emodin, a major active anthraquinone, frequently interacts with other drugs. As changes of efflux transporters on intestine are one of the essential reasons why the drugs interact with each other, a validated Ussing chamber technique was established to detect the interactions between emodin and effl...

description Emodin, a major active anthraquinone, frequently interacts with other drugs. As changes of efflux transporters on intestine are one of the essential reasons why the drugs interact with each other, a validated Ussing chamber technique was established to detect the interactions between emodin and efflux transporters, including P-glycoprotein (P-gp), multidrug-resistant associated protein 2 (MRP2), and multidrug-resistant associated protein 3 (MRP3). Digoxin, pravastatin, and teniposide were selected as the test substrates of P-gp, MRP2, and MRP3. Verapamil, MK571, and benzbromarone were their special inhibitors. The results showed that verapamil, MK571, and benzbromarone could increase digoxin, pravastatin, and teniposide absorption, and decrease their Er values, respectively. Verapamil (220 μM) could significantly increase emodin absorption at 9.25 μM. In the presence of MK571 (186 μM), the Papp values of emodin from M-S were significantly increased and the efflux ratio decreased. With the treatment of emodin (185, 370, and 740 μM), digoxin absorption was significantly decreased while teniposide increased. These results indicated that emodin might be the substrate of P-gp and MRP2. Besides, it might be a P-gp inducer and MRP3 inhibitor on enterocyte, which are reported for the first time. These results will be helpful to explain the drug–drug interaction mechanisms between emodin and other drugs and provide basic data for clinical combination therapy.
