Investigation of the arcane inhibition of human organic anion transporter 3 by benzofuran antiarrhythmic agents
Drug Metab Pharmacokinet. 2021 Mar 20;38:100390. doi: 10.1016/j.dmpk.2021.100390. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe combination of antiarrhythmic agents, amiodarone or dronedarone, with the anticoagulant rivaroxaban is used clinically in the management of atrial fibrillation for rhythm control and secondary stroke prevention respectively. Renal drug-drug interactions (DDIs) between amiodarone or dronedarone and rivaroxaban were previously ascribed to inhibition of rivaroxaban secretion by P-glycoprotein at the apical membrane of renal proximal tubular epithelial cells. Benzbromarone, a known inhibitor of organic anion tran...
