Effect of BCRP inhibitor GF120918 on pharmacokinetics of topotecan in mdr 1a / 1b(-/-) mice (Jonker et al., 2000)

Vehicle-Treated GF120918-Treated Ratio
Oral administration of topotecan (1 mg/kg)a
     AUC (mg · h/1) 96 596 ×6.2
Intravenous administration of topotecan (1 mg/kg)a
     AUC (mg · h/1) 200 406 ×2.0
     Biliary excretion b (%) 14.7 5.5 ×0.4
Intestinal content of [14C]topotecan-derived radioactivityc
     Intestinal (%) 31.8 10.2 ×0.3
     Plasma (ng/ml) 40 102 ×2.6
  • a Mdr1a/1b(-/-) mice were given an oral dose of GF120918 (50 mg/kg) or vehicle 15 min before an oral or intravenous dose of topotecan (1 mg/kg).

  • b Cumulative biliary excretion of unchanged topotecan for 11 min.

  • c GF 120918 (50 mg/kg) was administered orally; 15 min later, [14C]topotecan (1 mg/kg) was administered intravenously; 60 min after administration of [14C]topotecan, the intestinal content of [14C] was determined.
