Abstract excerpt
We investigated whether tramadol or its active metabolite, O-desmethyltramadol, are substrates of the organic cation transporter OCT1 and whether polymorphisms in OCT1 affect tramadol and O-desmethyltramadol pharmacokinetics. Tramadol showed high permeability through parallel artificial membrane permeability assays (PAMPAs). Tramadol uptake in HEK293 cells did not change after OCT1 overexpression, and the...
