The interactions of two antiviral, acyclic nucleoside phosphonates,
adefovir and cidofovir, with xenobiotic transporters was studied in
intact killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) renal proximal tubules by using fluorescent substrates, confocal microscopy, and
quantitative image analysis. Both drugs reduced in a
concentration-dependent manner the transport of fluorescein on the
classical organic anion system and transport of
fluorescein-methotrexate on multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (Mrp2). Neither drug inhibited transport of a fluorescent cyclosporin A
derivative on P-glycoprotein. Inhibition of Mrp2-mediated transport was
abolished by 50 µM p-aminohippurate, indicating that
adefovir and cidofovir entered the cells at the basolateral membrane on
the classical organic anion transport system (OAT1). Comparison of the
inhibitory potencies of the nucleoside phosphonates with other
substrates and inhibitors showed them to be moderate inhibitors of
OAT1- and Mrp2-mediated transport.
