Impact of the changes in P-glycoprotein activity on domperidone pharmacokinetics in rat plasma.
Journal Title: Pharmacological Reports - Year 2007, Vol 59, Issue 6
Abstract
The effect of quinidine (QD) and grapefruit juice (GFJ) extract, P-glycoprotein inhibitors, on the domperidone (DOM) concentration in rat plasma was investigated. DOM, a dopamine D(2)-receptor antagonist is a substrate for P-glycoprotein. DOM (10 mg/kg) was administered orally 2 h after GFJ extract (0.2 ml/kg) or QD (25 mg/kg). DOM concentration in plasma samples was determined by HPLC with fluorescence detection. The GFJ extract and QD administration significantly increased c(max) of DOM by 19% and 36%, respectively, and the AUC(0-0.25) (area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to 15 min) by 29% and 44%, respectively. In addition, QD significantly increased the DOM AUC(0-2) (32%), whereas 19% increase was observed after GFJ extract administration. In conclusion, GFJ and QD significantly influenced DOM rat plasma concentration during the first two hours after DOM administration indicating that interaction takes place during absorption phase.

Background: Hyaluronan (HYA) is a high molecular weight glucosaminoglycan with a great perspective for medical applications. Because HYA is widespread in the body, it is difficult to determine the fate of exogenously adm...
Luminal melatonin stimulates pancreatic enzyme secretion via activation of serotonin-dependent nerves.
Background: Serotonin (5-HT) is released from enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal tract. 5-HT, via the activation of 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors on vagal fibers, mediates pancreatic secretion through the mechani...
