The pharmacokinetics and hepatic metabolism of [3H]
ivermectin (IVM) and [3H]cyclosporin A (CSA) were
investigated in a subpopulation of the CF-1 mouse stock naturally
deficient in mdr1a p-glycoprotein (PGP). A
survey of key drug-metabolizing activities in liver fractions from
PGP-deficient (
/
) or wild-type (+/+) animals indicated the two
subpopulations are not different in hepatic metabolic activity and
capacity. Intravenous pharmacokinetics of CSA were identical between
the two groups, and results from microsomal incubations indicated
similar biotransformation of IVM and CSA in liver. Intestinal excretion
of [3H]IVM and [3H]CSA was enhanced in PGP
(+/+) animals. Absence of PGP resulted in higher blood concentrations
of IVM after oral dosing, suggesting enhanced absorption of IVM in
(
/
) mice. Concentrations of [3H]IVM and
[3H]CSA were always greater in the brains of (
/
) mice
compared with (+/+) mice after either i.v. or oral administration. In
contrast, liver concentrations of either compound were not different
between (+/+) and (
/
) animals after an i.v. dose. These results
show the PGP (
/
) and (+/+) subpopulations of CF-1 mice are useful for studying the role of mdr1a PGP in systemic exposure
and tissue disposition of PGP substrates in the absence of metabolism differences.
