The mechanism by which quinidine affects hepatic digoxin pharmacokinetics remains controversial. Here, we study the role of displacement of digoxin from hepatic sinusoidal binding sites by quinidine. We used the impulse–response technique in the single-pass perfused rat liver to describe the digoxin hepatic disposition by a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic liver model. The impulse–response study involved analysis of outflow curves following two consecutive doses of digoxin (42 and 125μg) without and with quinidine (10μM) in perfusate. In addition, the effect of quinidine on digoxin binding in liver subcellular fractions was quantified. Quinidine increased the peak outflow concentration for digoxin at the low digoxin dose but not at the high dose. This increase could be adequately described when digoxin displacement from sinusoidal and intrahepatic binding sites was included in the model. Inhibition of digoxin binding by quinidine was also observed in vitro. The decrease of biliary excretion of digoxin by quinidine was accompanied by a linear increase in sinusoidal efflux of digoxin’s primary metabolite, digoxigenin bisdigitoxoside (Dg2). In contrast to biliary excretion, inhibition of sinusoidal uptake may become dominant only for high concentrations of quinidine.

Novel study reports marijuana users have better blood sugar control
Regular marijuana use is associated with favorable indices related to diabetic control, say investigators. They found that current marijuana users had significantly lower fasting insulin and were less likely to be insulin resistant, even after excluding patients with a diagnosis of diabetes ... more
More severe concussion symptoms lead to longer recovery time
Most children who suffer from sports-related concussions recover within a few days. However, in a small number of children, symptoms can last for a month or more. Although there have been numerous theories as to what might predict a longer recovery time, there is no definitive answer as to ... more
For breast cancer screening, one size doesn’t fit all
Although mammography, the gold standard of breast cancer screening, reduces breast cancer mortality, it has important limitations. Critics point to reduced sensitivity for women with dense breasts, a high rate of false positives leading to excessive biopsies, and concerns about long-term ef ... more
