Bile Salt Export Pump (BSEP) Transporter, Polysorbate 80

Keywords

healthy volunteer, pharmacokinetics, excipient, transporter

Brief summary

The study employs two-sub-studies that share a common placebo arm. The objective of one sub-study is to assess the impact of metformin on pravastatin and chenodeoxycholic acid pharmacokinetics. We hypothesize that metformin represses the bile salt export pump (BSEP) in the liver, which excretes pravastatin and chenodeoxycholic acid from the liver into the bile. The objective of the other sub-study is to assess the impact of polysorbate 80 on valacyclovir, chenodeoxycholic acid, and enalaprilat pharmacokinetics. We hypothesize that polysorbate 80 inhibits uptake transporters in the intestine, which absorb valacyclovir and chenodeoxycholic acid in the gut via the peptide transporter 1 (PepT1) and apical sodium-bile acid transporter (ASBT), respectively. Enalaprilat is passively absorbed but with low permeability, and thus serves as a passive absorption reference.

Inclusion criteria

* Subject is healthy, as determined by screening evaluation that is not greater than 60 days before the first study visit. * Subject is male or female between 18 and 65 years of age, inclusive. * Subject is an acceptable candidate for venipuncture. * Subject is willing to stop all non-routine OTC medications, as well as vitamins, dietary supplements, and herbals, for 24 hours prior to study drug administration and during pharmacokinetic study visits.

Exclusion criteria

* Subject has a significant medical disease (including cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, endocrine, immunologic, neurologic, renal, gastrointestinal, metabolic, or psychiatric). * Subject has a clinically significant history or presence of any clinically significant gastrointestinal pathology (e.g. chronic diarrhea, inflammatory bowel diseases), unresolved gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g. diarrhea, vomiting), liver or kidney disease, or other conditions known to interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of study drugs. * Subject has a history of liver or gallbladder disease, or history of myopathy * Subject has a history of angioedema either with or without previous treatment with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor. * Subject was previously diagnosed with diabetes, or treated with antidiabetic agents * Subject has a history of alcohol or drug abuse, which in the opinion of the PI or medical physician, could jeopardize the subject's health or would compromise the subject's ability to participate in this trial. * Subject is pregnant, breast feeding, or trying to become pregnant. * Female subject of childbearing potential is unwilling or unable to use a medically acceptable method of contraception throughout the entire study period and for one week after the study is completed. Medically acceptable methods of contraception that may be used by the subject and/or her partner are: oral birth control pill, condom with spermicide, diaphragm with spermicide, IUD, vaginal spermicidal suppository, surgical sterilization of patient or their partner(s), abstinence, or hormonal-based patches, ring, injections, and implants. * Subject routinely uses (i.e. daily or weekly) prescription medication except hormonal birth control medication, routinely uses (i.e. daily or weekly) OTC medication, or routinely uses niacin to treat hypercholesterolemia. OTC medications do not include vitamins, dietary supplements, or herbals. * Subject routinely uses (i.e. daily or weekly) acid blockers, antacids, anti-diarrhea, stimulants, appetite suppressants, or anti-nausea medication or other drugs that modulate GI function. * Subject is currently taking metformin, valacyclovir, acyclovir, chenodiol, pravastatin, enalapril, enalaprilat, or medications known to interact with any of these medications. * Subject has a history or allergy or sensitivity to metformin, valacyclovir, acyclovir, chenodiol, pravastatin, polysorbate 80, enalapril, enalaprilat, or history of any drug hypersensitivity or intolerance which, in the opinion of the PI or medical physician, would compromise the safety of the subject or the study. * Subject has liver impairment as assessed by alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), or total bilirubin levels greater than the upper limit of normal (ULN). * Subject has renal impairment as assessed by creatinine clearance lower than 60mL/min/1.73m2, using the CKDEPI formula. * Subject is not willing or able to be adherent to study protocol (e.g., study visits). * Subject has a condition in which in the opinion of the PI or medical physician would increase risk to the subject or interfere with the integrity of the study.
