It has been reported that polymorphisms in the organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1 and SLCO1B1) result in decreased hepatic uptake of simvastatin carboxy acid, the active metabolite of simvastatin. This is not the case for fluvastatin and it has been hypothesized that for this drug other hepatic uptake pathways exist. Here, we studied whether Na(+)-dependent taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP and SLC10A1) can be an alternative hepatic uptake route for fluvastatin. Chinese Hamster Ovary cells transfected with human NTCP (CHO-NTCP) were used to investigate the inhibitory effect of fluvastatin and other statins on [(3)H]-taurocholic acid uptake ([(3)H]-TCA). Statin uptake by CHO-NTCP and cryopreserved human hepatocytes was assessed via LC-MS/MS. Fluvastatin appeared to be a potent and competitive inhibitor of [(3)H]-TCA uptake (IC(50) of 40μM), pointing to an interaction at the level of the bile acid binding pocket of NTCP. The inhibitory action of other statins was also studied, which revealed that statin inhibitory potency increased with molecular descriptors of lipophilicity: calculated logP (r(2)=0.82, p=0.034), logD(7.4) (r(2)=0.77, p=0.0001). Studies in CHO-NTCP cells showed that fluvastatin was indeed an NTCP substrate (K(m) 250±30μM, V(max) 1340±50ng/mg total cell protein/min). However, subsequent studies revealed that at clinically relevant plasma concentrations, NTCP contributed minimally to overall accumulation in human hepatocytes. In conclusion, fluvastatin interacts with NTCP at the level of the bile acid binding pocket and is an NTCP substrate. However, under normal conditions, NTCP-mediated uptake of this drug seems not to be a significant hepatocellular uptake pathway. |
