1 The aim of this study was to investigate the contributions of multiple transport mechanisms to the intestinal absorption of metformin, focusing on OCT3, PMAT, THTR2, SERT and OCTN2. Metformin solute carrier family 19 member 3 Homo sapiens
2 Uptake studies with MDCKII cells expressing OCT3, PMAT, THTR2 or SERT confirmed that metformin is a substrate of these transporters. Metformin solute carrier family 19 member 3 Homo sapiens
3 7-Cyclopentyl inhibited OCT3- and THTR2-mediated uptake of metformin. Metformin solute carrier family 19 member 3 Homo sapiens
4 AG835, thiamine and paroxetine specifically inhibited PMAT-, THTR2- and SERT-mediated uptake of metformin, respectively. Metformin solute carrier family 19 member 3 Homo sapiens
5 Using these inhibitors, the relative contributions of OCT3, PMAT, THTR2, SERT, OCTN2 and others to the intestinal permeation of metformin across Caco-2 cells were estimated to be 9.77%, 9.68%, 22.2%, 1.52%, 0% and 0.66%, respectively. Metformin solute carrier family 19 member 3 Homo sapiens
6 Concentration-dependent analysis of metformin uptake by Caco-2 cells revealed nonlinear kinetics with the similar Km(app) value to the value for THTR2. Metformin solute carrier family 19 member 3 Homo sapiens
7 The present study indicated that THTR2 is the major determinant of the nonlinear absorption of metformin, although multiple transport mechanisms contribute to its intestinal absorption. Metformin solute carrier family 19 member 3 Homo sapiens
