Journal ArticleDOI

Substrate specificity of MATE1 and MATE2-K, human multidrug and toxin extrusions/H+-organic cation antiporters

TL;DR: HMATE1 and hMATE2-K function together as a detoxication system, by mediating the tubular secretion of intracellular ionic compounds across the brush-border membranes of the kidney.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and Functional Characterization of a New Human Kidney–Specific H+/Organic Cation Antiporter, Kidney-Specific Multidrug and Toxin Extrusion 2

TL;DR: Results indicate that hMATE2-K is a new human kidney-specific H+/organic cation antiporter that is responsible for the tubular secretion of cationic drugs across the brush border membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metformin is a superior substrate for renal organic cation transporter OCT2 rather than hepatic OCT1.

TL;DR: It is suggested that metformin is a superior substrate for renal OCT2 rather than hepatic OCT1, and renal OCT 2 plays a dominant role for metformIn pharmacokinetics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cisplatin and Oxaliplatin, but Not Carboplatin and Nedaplatin, Are Substrates for Human Organic Cation Transporters (SLC22A1–3 and Multidrug and Toxin Extrusion Family)

TL;DR: Results indicate that cisplatin is a relatively good substrate of hOCT1, hO CT2, and hMATE1, and oxaliplatin has the potential to play predominant roles in the tissue distribution and anticancer effects and/or adverse effects of platinum agent-based chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cerebrospinal fluid concentration of gefitinib and erlotinib in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

TL;DR: It is suggested that higher CSF concentration could be achieved with erlotinib and that erlot inib could be more effective for the treatment for CNS metastases, especially leptomeningeal metastases more effective than gefitinib.
