Differential Inhibition of Equilibrative Nucleoside Transporter 1 (ENT1) Activity by Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors

ConclusionOur data unambiguously add ENT1 to the list of drug transporters inhibited by TKIs, especially by lorlatinib. This point likely merits attention in terms of possible drug –drug interactions, notably for nucleoside analogues, whose ENT1-mediated uptake into their target cells may be hampered by co-administrated TKIs such as lorlatinib.
