Effect of coumarin derivative-mediated inhibition of P-glycoprotein on oral bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of paclitaxel
Since P-glycoprotein (P-gp) acts as a barrier to intestinal absorption of various drugs, P-gp inhibitors have been studied as oral absorption enhancers of P-gp substrate drugs.

Summary: | Since P-glycoprotein (P-gp) acts as a barrier to intestinal absorption of various drugs, P-gp inhibitors have been studied as oral absorption enhancers of P-gp substrate drugs. Here, we investigated the in vitro and in vivo effects of a novel coumarin derivative (LL-348) for its P-gp inhibitory activity. With LL-348, accumulation of daunomycin (DNM) increased 270% and efflux of DNM decreased 63% compared to that of DNM alone. Paclitaxel (PTX, 25mg/kg) after oral administration with LL-348 (5mg/kg), the optimal dose of LL-348 as an oral absorption enhancer of PTX, improved the relative bioavailability (RB) of PTX to 961%. In a xenograft animal model, PTX (40mg/kg) treated with LL-348 (10mg/kg) significantly increased the efficacy of PTX. The results collectively demonstrate that LL-348 can provide a therapeutic benefit in the oral absorption of P-gp substrate anticancer drugs |
