Gene Name ABCB1

Protein Family ABC transporter superfamily
Protein Function
Translocates drugs and phospholipids across the membrane (PubMed:8898203, PubMed:2897240, PubMed:9038218). Catalyzes the flop of phospholipids from the cytoplasmic to the exoplasmic leaflet of the apical membrane. Participates mainly to the flop of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, beta-D-glucosylceramides and sphingomyelins (PubMed:8898203). Energy-dependent efflux pump responsible for decreased drug accumulation in multidrug-resistant cells (PubMed:2897240, PubMed:9038218).

      Mechanism Description
  • Decreased clearance of Colchicine due to the transporter inhibition by Velpatasvir 

Recommended Action
      Management Due to the risk of life-threatening and fatal toxicity, patients with renal or hepatic impairment should not be given colchicine in combination with P-glycoprotein inhibitors such as cyclosporine, carvedilol, amiodarone, bepridil, quinidine, quinine, propafenone, ranolazine, spironolactone, tamoxifen, ulipristal, and some tyrosine kinase inhibitors. For the treatment of acute gout flares, the adjusted dosage recommended is 0.6 mg for one dose. Administration should not be repeated for at least three days.
