PMID- 30488476 OWN - NLM STAT- MEDLINE DCOM- 20190418 LR - 20200311 IS - 1099-081X (Electronic) IS - 0142-2782 (Linking) VI - 40 IP - 1 DP - 2019 Jan TI - Effect of high uric acid on the disposition of metformin: in vivo and in vitro studies. PG - 3-11 LID - 10.1002/bdd.2164 [doi] AB - Metformin is always used as the baseline antidiabetic therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hyperuricemia. Metformin is excreted into urine through active secretion mediated by rOCTs and rMATE1.The aim of this study was to identify the effects of high uric acid on the disposition and its mechanism. For the in vivo study, a hyperuricemic animal model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of potassium oxonate (250 mg/kg) in rats. Metformin (100 mg/kg) was administered orally to investigate the pharmacokinetics in control and hyperuricemic rats, respectively. For the in vitro study, HEK293 and HepaRG cells were used to investigate the effect of uric acid (15 mg/dl) on the expression of OCT1, OCT2 and MATE1 and the disposition of metformin, respectively. The in vivo study showed that the AUC(0 --> 600) of metformin was significantly decreased by 33.3%, whereas the cumulative urinary excretion of metformin was increased by 25.4% in hyperuricemic rats compared with that in control rats. The renal rOCT1, rOCT2 and rMATE1 and hepatic rMATE1 levels were increased in hyperuricemic rats compared with those in control rats, respectively. The in vitro study showed that uric acid could upregulate the expression of OCT2 and MATE1 in HEK293 cells and MATE1 in HepaRG cells and increase the intracellular metformin concentration in these two cell lines. These results demonstrated that a high uric acid level promoted urinary metformin excretion and decreased the plasma metformin concentration; the in vivo and in vitro studies provided a possible explanation being that high uric acid could upregulate the expression of renal metformin transporters OCTs and MATE1.
