Popis: The aim of this study was to examine the mechanism underlying the elevation in serum creatinine levels caused by a novel des-fluoro(6)-quinolone antibacterial agent, DX-619, in healthy subjects. hOCT2 showed a prominent uptake of creatinine (K(m) = 56.4 mmol/l) among renal organic ion transporters. DX-619 is a potent inhibitor of hOCT2 (K(i) = 0.94 micromol/l), hMATE1 (0.82 µmol/l), and hMATE2-K (0.10 micromol/l). The pharmacokinetic model involving the inhibition of hOCT2 (model 1), hOCT2, and MATE1 or MATE2-K (model 2) could predict the elevation in serum creatinine levels in individual subjects receiving DX-619. This assumes that a significant contribution of tubular secretion (59, 38, and 31%) and reabsorption ranged from 3-50, 4-30, and 5-21% in model 1, -2a (hOCT2/hMATE1), and -2b (hOCT2/hMATE2-K), respectively, for creatinine. In conclusion, DX-619, at its therapeutic dose, is able to inhibit hOCT2, hMATE1, and hMATE2-K, leading to a significant inhibition of tubular secretion of creatinine and consequently to elevation of serum creatinine levels.
