Gene Name OATP1B1
Uniprot ID SO1B1_HUMAN
KEGG Pathway hsa:10599
Protein Family Organo anion transporter (TC 2.A.60) family
Protein Function
Mediates the Na(+)-independent uptake of organic anions such as pravastatin, taurocholate, methotrexate, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, 17-beta-glucuronosyl estradiol, estrone sulfate, prostaglandin E2, thromboxane B2, leukotriene C3, leukotriene E4, thyroxine and triiodothyronine. Involved in the clearance of bile acids and organic anions from the liver.

      Mechanism Description
  • Decreased clearance of Pravastatin due to the transporter inhibition by Paritaprevir 

Recommended Action
      Management The benefits of using pravastatin with ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir plus dasabuvir should be carefully weighed against the potentially increased risk of myopathy including rhabdomyolysis. If coadministration is required, the lowest effective dosage of pravastatin should be used and close monitoring for musculoskeletal toxicity is recommended. The dosage of pravastatin should be limited to 40 mg/day. alternatively, an interruption of pravastatin may be considered during treatment with ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir plus dasabuvir, or a different HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor such as fluvastatin or pitavastatin may be substituted. All patients receiving statin therapy should be advised to promptly report any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness, particularly if accompanied by fever, malaise and/or dark colored urine. Therapy should be discontinued if creatine kinase is markedly elevated in the absence of strenuous exercise or if myopathy is otherwise suspected or diagnosed.
