Diphenhydramine as a selective probe to study H+-antiporter function at the blood-brain barrier: Application to [11C]diphenhydramine positron emission tomography imaging.
2017
Diphenhydramine, a sedative
histamine H1-receptor(H1R) antagonist, was evaluated as a probe to measure drug/H+-
antiporterfunction at the
blood–brain barrier. In situ brain perfusion experiments in mice and rats showed that
diphenhydraminetransport at the
blood–brain barrierwas saturable, following
Michaelis–Menten kineticswith a Km = 2.99 mM and Vmax = 179.5 nmol s−1 g−1. In the pharmacological plasma concentration range the carrier-mediated component accounted for 77% of
diphenhydramineinflux while passive diffusion accounted for only 23%. [14C]
Diphenhydramine
blood–brain barriertransport was proton and
clonidinesensitive but was influenced by neither
tetraethylammonium, a MATE1 (
SLC47A1), and OCT/OCTN (SLC22A1-5) modulator, nor P-gp/Bcrp (ABCB1a/1b/
ABCG2) deficiency. Brain and plasma kinetics of [11C]
diphenhydraminewere measured by positron emission tomography imaging in rats. [11C]
Diphenhydraminekinetics in different brain regions were not influenced by displacement with 1 mg kg−1 unlabeled d...
