  Drug transporters play an important role in the clinical pharmacokinetics of many therapeutic agents. Although it is estimated that about half of all therapeutic agents are chiral, there has been little information on the stereoselective pharmacokinetics related to drug transporters. This review focuses on the drug transporters contributing to the stereoselective pharmacokinetics of fexofenadine enantiomers in humans. Fexofenadine is administered clinically as a racemic mixture, and the plasma concentration of (R)-fexofenadine is about 1.5-fold higher than that of the (S)-enantiomer. Because fexofenadine is poorly metabolized by cytochrome P450s, its pharmacokinetics depends on its drug-transporter activities. First, we examined whether drug-transporter polymorphisms influence fexofenadine enantiomer pharmacokinetics. The findings suggested that a combination of multiple transporters involving organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 2B1, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), and multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2) react to stereoselective fexofenadine exposure. Subsequently, we evaluated the roles of P-gp and OATPs in fexofenadine enantiomer pharmacokinetics using these inducer/inhibitors. Coadministration of P-gp inducer/inhibitors significantly altered the pharmacokinetics of fexofenadine enantiomers. In addition, the OATP inhibitors rifampicin and apple juice also affected fexofenadine enantiomer pharmacokinetics. Moreover, in in vitro studies, the uptake of both fexofenadine enantiomers into OATP2B1 cRNA-injected oocytes was significantly higher than that into water-injected oocytes, and this effect was greater for (R)-fexofenadine. Taken together, these studies indicated that multiple transporters including P-gp, OATPs, and MRP2 play important roles in fexofenadine enantiomer pharmacokinetics. Furthermore, OATP2B1 is a key determinant of the stereoselective pharmacokinetics of fexofenadine, and drug transporters may have chiral discrimination ability.<br>
