Intestinal P-glycoprotein (P-gp) activity plays a crucial role in modulating the oral bioavailability of its substrates. Fexofenadine has commonly been used as a P-gp probe, although it is important to note the involvement of other drug transporters like, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and OATP2B1. In vitro studies demonstrated an upregulation of P-gp protein in response to exposure to pregnancy-related hormones. The objective of this study was to investigate how intestinal P-gp activity is impacted by menopausal status. This study sampled fexofenadine plasma concentrations over 0-12 h after probe drug administration from two groups of patients with breast cancer: premenopausal (n = 20) and postmenopausal (n = 20). Fexofenadine plasma concentrations were quantified using liquid-chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from zero to infinity (AUCinf ) was calculated through limited sampling strategies equation. Multiple linear regression was applied on AUCinf , maximum plasma concentration (Cmax ), and time to Cmax . Postmenopausal patients showed a significant increase in Cmax (geometric mean and 95% confidence interval [CI] 143.54, 110.95-176.13 vs. 223.54 ng/mL, 161.02-286.06 and in AUCinf 685.55, 534.98-878.50 vs. 933.54 ng·h/mL 735.45-1184.99) compared to premenopausal patients. The carriers of the ABCB1 3435 allele T displayed higher Cmax values of 166.59 (95% CI: 129.44-214.39) compared to the wild type at 147.47 ng/mL (95% CI: 111.91-194.34, p = 0.02). In postmenopausal individuals, the decrease in P-gp activity of ~40% may lead to an increased plasma exposure of orally administered P-gp substrates.
