		Gene Name		ABCB1
		Uniprot ID		MDR1_HUMAN
		KEGG Pathway		hsa:5243
		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). Click to Show/Hide
Mechanism Description		Accelerated clearance of Artesunate due to the transporter induction by Lorlatinib

Recommended Action
Management		Concomitant use of lorlatinib with drugs that are P-gp substrates should generally be avoided, especially those P-gp substrates for which minimal concentration changes may lead to serious therapeutic failures. If coadministration is required, consider dosage adjustments and clinical and laboratory monitoring whenever lorlatinib is added to or withdrawn from therapy.
