We have previously reported that S-777469 [1-([6-ethyl-1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-5-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonyl]amino)-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid], a novel cannabinoid type 2 receptor (CB2) agonist, significantly suppressed compound 48/80-induced scratching behavior in mice in a dose-dependent manner when it was administered orally. Here, we demonstrated that the inhibitory effects

OATP2B1-mediated grapefruit juice (GFJ)-drug interactions are substrate-dependent; for example, GFJ ingestion significantly reduces bioavailability of fexofenadine, but not pravastatin. In the present study, we aimed to establish whether this observation can be explained by the presence of multiple binding sites
