Absence of Both Cytochrome P450 3A and P-glycoprotein Dramatically Increases Docetaxel Oral Bioavailability and Risk of Intestinal Toxicity

Abstract: Docetaxel is one of the most widely used anticancer drugs. A major problem with docetaxel treatment, however, is the considerable interpatient variability in docetaxel exposure. Another disadvantage of the drug is that it has a very low oral bioavailability and can therefore only be administered i.v. The drug-metabolizing enzyme cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) and the drug transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp; MDR1) are considered to be major determinants of docetaxel pharmacokinetics. It has been hypothesized that CYP… Show more

“…Interestingly, substrates of both CYP3A4 and P-gp overlap extensively (6). Based on in vivo experiments, researchers have demonstrated that CYP3A and P-gp have possible cooperative functions on drug metabolism and excretion in the liver and small intestine (7,8).…”

“…P-gp is one of the most prevalent efflux transporters (Aller et al, 2009;Chen et al, 2011) and plays an important role in limiting the intestinal absorption of many compounds that are its substrates (Kusuhara and Sugiyama, 2002;del Amo et al, 2009). Inhibition of P-gp leads to the improvement of oral bioavailability of several anticancer drugs (Meerum Terwogt et al, 1998;Kemper et al, 2004;van Waterschoot et al, 2009), including ginsenoside Rh2 (Yang et al, 2011). A better understanding of P-gp involvement in the transport of ginsenosides and a more quantitative measurement with regard to if and how P-gp affects their bioavailabilities and potential drug-drug interactions are important for the development of ginsenosides as chemopreventive agents, because these studies are recommended by the Food and Drug Administration in recently published Drug-Drug Interaction Guidance (February, 2012, www.fda.gov).…”
