Improving the Translation of Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptide Substrates using HEK293 Cell Data in the Presence and Absence of Human Plasma via Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling

Accurately predicting the pharmacokinetics of compounds that are transporter substrates has been notoriously challenging using traditional in vitro systems and physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling. The objective of this study was to use PBPK modeling to understand the translational accuracy of data generated with human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells overexpressing the hepatic uptake transporters organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1/3 with and without plasma while accounting for transporter expression. Models of four OATP substrates, two with low protein binding (pravastatin and rosuvastatin) and two with high protein binding (repaglinide and pitavastatin) were explored, and the OATP in vitro data generated in plasma incubations were used for a plasma model, and in buffer incubations for a buffer model. The pharmacokinetic parameters and concentration-time profiles of pravastatin and rosuvastatin were similar and well predicted (within 2-fold of observed values) using the plasma and buffer models without needing an empirical scaling factor, whereas the dispositions of the highly protein bound repaglinide and pitavastatin were more accurately simulated with the plasma models than the buffer models. This work suggests that data from HEK293 overexpressing transporter cells corrected for transporter expression represent a valid approach to improve bottom-up PBPK modeling for highly protein bound OATP substrates with plasma incubations and low protein binding OATP substrates with or without plasma incubations. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This work demonstrates the bottom-up approach of using in vitro data directly without employing empirical scaling factors to predict the intravenous pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles reasonably well for four organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) substrates. Based on these results, using HEK293 overexpressing cells, examining the impact of plasma for highly bound compounds, and incorporating transporter quantitation for the lot in which the in vitro data were generated represents a valid approach to achieve more accurate prospective PK predictions for OATP substrates.
