Abstract | BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: METHODS: All samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry or a liquid scintillation counter. RESULTS: The cleared volume ratio (cleared volume from basal to apical/cleared volume from apical to basal) of nalfurafine in P-gp-expressing cells was higher than that in the control cells; however, no concentration-dependent decrease in the cleared volume ratio of digoxin was observed in the presence of nalfurafine. The K p value in mice showed similar profiles to those observed with nalfurafine alone and when co-administered with digoxin or verapamil. CONCLUSIONS: From these results, nalfurafine was found to be a substrate for P-gp, but had no inhibitory effect on P-gp-mediated transport. Furthermore, it is unlikely that nalfurafine transport via the BBB is affected by P-gp substrates in humans.
