Cyclic ureas form a perspective class of non-peptidic HIV-1 protease inhibitors with major bioavailability problems. Low absorption rates of DMP 323 as one of the first representatives led to investigations whether transport efflux pump P-glycoprotein (P-gp) within the intestine may be partly responsible for the low absorption rates. DMP 323 proved to be a P-gp substrate in competition studies with P-gp inhibitor ritonavir and H17 as a representative of another class of non-peptidic HIV-1 protease inhibitors. Intestinal DMP 323 absorption was mainly increased under co-application of both ritonavir and H17. DMP 323 used as a membrane efflux pump inhibitor itself showed little affinities to P-gp compared to H17 as strong P-gp inhibitor. So P-gp proved to play a decisive role in the low intestinal absorption of the cyclic urea representative DMP 323.

Substrate and inhibitor properties of H17 as novel modulator of transmembrane efflux pump activities have been characterized in an in situ absorption model. Poor substrate properties towards P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) have been demonstrated. In competition with a MRP substrate H17 proved to have strong MRP-inhibiting properties. The profile of a strong inhibitor with poor substrate properties makes H17 a perspective hopeful candidate for effective therapies of transmembrane efflux pump activities.
