Protein Function
Mediates tubular uptake of organic compounds from circulation. Mediates the influx of agmatine, dopamine, noradrenaline (norepinephrine), serotonin, choline, famotidine, ranitidine, histamine, creatinine, amantadine, memantine, acriflavine, 4-[4-(dimethylamino)-styryl]-N-methylpyridinium ASP, amiloride, metformin, N-1-methylnicotinamide (NMN), tetraethylammonium (TEA), 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP), cimetidine, cisplatin and oxaliplatin. Cisplatin may develop a nephrotoxic action. Transport of creatinine is inhibited by fluoroquinolones such as DX-619 and LVFX. This transporter is a major determinant of the anticancer activity of oxaliplatin and may contribute to antitumor specificity.

      Mechanism Description
  • Decreased clearance of Guanfacine due to the transporter inhibition by Dolutegravir 

Recommended Action
      Management Caution is advised when dolutegravir is used with drugs that are substrates of OCT2, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range such as metformin. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever dolutegravir is added to or withdrawn from therapy.
