Abstract:
Intestinal CYP3A4-mediated biotransformation and active efflux of absorbed drug by P-glycoprotein are major determinants of bioavailability of orally administered drugs. The expression of CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein in the intestine is not co-ordinately regulated. However, synergistic actions of CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein in intestinal drug disposition have been confirmed by in vitro and animal studies. Further understanding of this interaction would be potentially useful to improve oral bioavailability of CYP3A4/P-glycoprotein substrates.
