Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology Candidate: MSc. Lucie Zemčíková Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. PharmDr. František Trejtnar, CSc. Title of doctoral thesis: The effect of natural compounds on transport by OATP drug transporters OATP membrane transporters belong to carrier proteins responsible for transporting certain drugs (e.g. hypolipidemics from the group of statins) and other xenobiotics across the biological membranes and tissue barriers within the body. These transport proteins play an important role in pharmacokinetic processes such as absorption, distribution and elimination. The potential modulation of their transport function by natural compounds commonly present in plant food or food supplements may result in the changes of the concentration of their substrate (drug) in the cells and body fluids, that may affect the effect and toxicity of these drugs. The aim of this study was to obtain data on the interactions of selected natural compounds with human transporters OATP2B1 and OATP1A2 and their ability to affect drug transport mediated by these transporters. These two OATP transporters are involved in the drug uptake especially in organ barriers important for pharmacokinetics. For the study natural compounds from the group of...
