Influence of probiotics and deoxycholate on azathioprine transport in the PAMPA model: insights into pharmacomicrobiomics and interindividual variability in drug response by Maja Đanić, Nebojša Pavlović, Natalija Dedić, Dragana Zaklan, Slavica Lazarević, Bojan Stanimirov, Momir Mikov

“…In silico analysis suggested that azathioprine absorption may involve intestinal transport proteins, including P-gp, and that DC, as a P-gp inhibitor, could additionally affect its absorption and bioavailability through this mechanism.ConclusionThe findings indicate significant interactions between probiotic bacteria, DC, and azathioprine that may affect azathioprine absorption. Since the PAMPA method is exclusively suited for evaluating passive transport, additional in vitro and in vivo studies are required to further investigate the interactions of azathioprine with intestinal bacteria and bile acids, ultimately determining their impact on intestinal absorption and bioavailability.…”
