18606742 Okura T, Hattori A, Takano Y, Sato T, Hammarlund-Udenaes M, Terasaki T, Deguchi Y: Involvement of the pyrilamine transporter, a putative organic cation transporter, in blood-brain barrier transport of oxycodone. Drug Metab Dispos. 2008 Oct;36(10):2005-13. Epub 2008 Jul 7.

The transport was inhibited by metabolic inhibitors (rotenone and sodium azide) but was insensitive to extracellular sodium and membrane potential for both substrates.

The uptake of epirubicin at a clinical concentration (7.5 x 10 (-7) M) was significantly reduced at 4 degrees C and significantly inhibited when pretreated with metabolic inhibitors (carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP), rotenone and sodium azide) by nearly 25%.
Furthermore, an organic anion transporter inhibitor, namely, 4,4'-diisothiocyanato-stilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS); organic anion transport substrates, namely, para-aminohippurate (PAH), taurocholic acid and estradiol 17-beta-D-glucuronide; and organic cation transporter inhibitors, namely, verapamil and tetraethylammonium significantly reduced the uptake of epirubicin.
