Currently, the emergence of drug resistance is an important issue in the treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV). Recently, our collaborating group developed a novel long-acting anti-HBV drug, E-CFCP. However, until this study, the effects of E-CFCP in the kidney have remained unclarified. Using cell viability and uptake assays, we examined the effects of E-CFCP on the function of renal organic anion transporters (OATs). No cytotoxicity was shown related to the E-CFCP in the renal OATs in either assay. Thus, this study suggested that E-CFCP may be a novel, excellent candidate drug for the treatment of drug-resistant HBV.
目前,耐药性的出现是乙型肝炎病毒 (HBV) 治疗中的一个重要问题。最近,我们的合作小组开发了一种新型长效抗乙型肝炎病毒药物 E-CFCP。然而,直到这项研究,E-CFCP 在肾脏中的作用仍不清楚。通过细胞活力和摄取试验,我们研究了 E-CFCP 对肾脏有机阴离子转运体 (OATs) 功能的影响。在两种试验中,E-CFCP 对肾脏 OATs 的功能均未显示出与细胞毒性相关的作用。因此,本研究表明,E-CFCP 可能是一种新型的、优秀的治疗耐药性乙型肝炎病毒的候选药物。
