The molecular mechanism underlying the induction of hepatic MRP3 expression and function by omeprazole
This study aimed to assess changes in fold‐induction of MRP3 mRNA and protein expression over controls in omeprazole‐treated HepG2 cells after transient transfection of human MRP3 siRNA, or after pretreatment of actinomycin D (Act‐D). Furthermore, MRP3 siRNA knock‐down or MRP‐specific inhibition (indomethacin) was used to determine whether induced MRP3 protein by omeprazole could possess enhanced efflux transport. The results demonstrated that omeprazole induced MRP3 mRNA and protein expression in a concentration‐ and time‐dependent manner. Moreover, that induction was almost completely abolished by addition ...

Absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of novel phosphodiesterase type 4 inhibitor ASP3258 in rats
ABSTRACT The potent and selective phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor ASP3258 is a novel therapeutic agent for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). After a single oral administration to rats, ASP3258 is rapidly absorbed with a bioavailability of 106%. In situ absorption data indicated that ASP3258 is mainly absorbed in the small intestine. Tissue distribution data after oral administration of 14C‐ASP3258 showed rapid and extensive distribution to various tissues. Excluding the gastrointestinal tract, the tissues with the highest concentrations were liver, heart and plasma. Liquid chromatography‐nuclear ma...
