P-Glycoprotein Mediates the Efflux of Quinidine across the Blood-Brain Barrier

Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, The University of Tokyo, 7-3-1, Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, 113, Japan (H.K., H.S., A.K., Y.S.), Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Tohoku University, Aramaki aza-aoba, Aoba-ku, Sendai 980-77 Miyagi, Japan (T.T.), and Department of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics, Novartis Pharma AG, Basel, Switzerland (M.L.)

Recent studies suggest that P-glycoprotein located on the blood-brain barrier restricts the brain uptake of its substrates. We examined the role of P-glycoprotein on the restricted entry of quinidine to the brain. Quinidine is a well known inhibitor of P-glycoprotein, although it is not yet clarified whether quinidine is the substrate for P-glycoprotein. Kinetic analysis of the uptake of quinidine into the rat brain after intravenous bolus administration revealed that the net uptake clearance is 25.5 µl/min/g brain. Intravenous administration of SDZ PSC 833, a multidrug resistance modifier, enhanced the net uptake clearance of quinidine by 15.7-fold. In contrast, no enhancement by SDZ PSC 833 was observed for the brain uptake of mannitol, a marker for the passive diffusion across the blood-brain barrier. The elimination of [3H] quinidine from the rat brain after microinjection into the cerebral cortex was inhibited by preadministered unlabeled quinidine and verapamil. In addition, the brain-to-plasma concentration ratio of quinidine at 10 min after intravenous administration was 27.6-fold higher in mdr1a knock-out mice than in control mice. These results suggest that P-glycoprotein mediates the efflux of quinidine across the blood-brain barrier, resulting in its restricted entry to the brain.
