Folium Sennae (FS), a popular laxative (Senna), contains polyphenolic anthranoids, whose conjugation metabolites are probable modulators of multidrug resistance-associated proteins (MRPs) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). We suspected that the combined use of FS might alter the pharmacokinetics of various medicines transported by MRPs or BCRP. This study investigated the effect of FS on the pharmacokinetics of methotrexate (MTX), an anticancer drug and a probe substrate of MRPs/BCRP. Rats were orally administered MTX alone and with two dosage regimens of FS in a parallel design. The results show that 5.0 g/kg of FS significantly increased the AUC0–2880, AUC720–2880 and MRT of MTX by 45%, 102% and 42%, and the seventh dose of 2.5 g/kg of FS significantly enhanced the AUC720–2880 and MRT by 78% and 42%, respectively. Mechanism studies indicated that the metabolites of FS (FSM) inhibited MRP 2 and BCRP. In conclusion, the combined use of FS increased the systemic exposure and MRT of MTX through inhibition on MRP 2 and BCRP.

Enniatins are cyclic hexadepsipeptides produced by various fungi, known to have ionophoric, antibiotic and insecticidal activity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the intestinal absorption characteristics of enniatin B1 (ENN-B1). Using the human intestinal Caco-2 cell line, we found that the permeability of ENN-B1 in the basolateral to apical direction was 6.7× higher as compared to the permeability in the opposite direction, indicating involvement of apically located transporters. Transport of ENN-B1 in the apical to basolateral direction was increased significantly upon treatment of Caco-2 cells with the P-glycoprotein (Pgp) inhibitor verapamil and the multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2) inhibitor MK571, but only weakly and not significantly after treatment with the breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) inhibitor fumitremorgin C. Additionally, MDCK II cells over-expressing Pgp, MRP2 or BCRP, showed reduced sensitivity towards ENN-B1. These data demonstrate for the first time that ENN-B1 is a substrate of MRP2 and suggests that Pgp, MRP2 and possibly BCRP are involved in transport of ENN-B1 across the intestine.
