Aim of our study
The aim of our work is to examine, in wild-type and Ciprofloxacin-resistant macrophages, the potential competition between Ciprofloxacin and preferential
substrates of Mrp2 and Mrp4 in order to better identify and further
characterize the Fluoroquinolone transporter.

The accumulation of CIPin CIPRO-resistant cells in the presence of SQV
The accumulation of SQV is unchanged in CIPRO-resistant cells or in the presence of CIP
SQV is a potent inhibitor (but NOT substrate) of the CIP transporter
Conclusions
NO effect of RTV on the CIP accumulationNO effect of CIP on the RTV accumulation
RTV is neither an inhibitor nor a substrate of the CIP transporter
16/05/2009 19ECCMID 2009
SQV is a potent inhibitor (but NOT substrate) of the CIP transporter
PMEA is substrate and inhibitor of the CIP transporter
General Conclusions
Do PMEA and SQV act upon the same transporter?
Is there a competition between PMEA and SQV, as inhibitor?

This competition leads to a cross-modulation of their cellular concentration
There is a competition between Ciprofloxacin and Antiviral Agents
General Conclusions
This may alter their activity on intracellular bacteria or target viruses
