| Abstract | Human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells, T84 cells, and MDCKII cells transfected with human MDR1, were used to investigate the mechanistic basis of transintestinal fluoroquinolone secretion. The fluoroquinolone grepafloxacin was secreted across Caco-2 monolayers by a saturable process (Vmax=16.9±3.4 nmol.cm−2.h−1). Net secretion was reduced by 2-deoxyglucose/azide treatment to reduce intracellular ATP. Grepafloxacin inhibited [14C]-ciprofloxacin (100 μM) secretion across Caco-2 monolayers (K0.5=0.8 mM), and concurrently increased the cellular accumulation of ciprofloxacin from the basal medium, indicating inhibition of export across the apical membrane. The unconjugated bile acid, cholic acid, was secreted across Caco-2 monolayers, and this secretion was sensitive to inhibition by the MRP-selective inhibitor MK-571, suggesting MRP2 involvement. Secretion of cholic acid (10 μM) across the apical membrane was also inhibited by grepafloxacin (K0.5=0.3 mM), but not by ciprofloxacin. In MDCKII-MDR1 monolayers, net secretion of grepafloxacin was increased by 3.5 fold compared with untransfected controls. Neither ciprofloxacin nor cholic acid showed net secretion in either MDCKII or MDCKII-MDR1 monolayers, showing that in contrast to grepafloxacin, neither are substrates for MDR1. In T84 monolayers, which express MDR1 but not MRP2, neither ciprofloxacin nor cholic acid was secreted, whilst the Vmax for grepafloxacin secretion was lower than in Caco-2 cells, which express both MDR1 and MRP2. In conclusion, the transepithelial secretion of grepafloxacin is mediated by both MRP2 and MDR1, whereas ciprofloxacin is a substrate for neither. Grepafloxacin also competes for the ciprofloxacin-sensitive pathway, which remains to be elucidated. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
