In this study, we examined the interactions of drugs and pesticides with the clinically relevant organic cation transporter hOCT1 (SLC22A1) in comparison to the orthologous transporters from mouse and rat. We determined Km-values (73 \u00b1 7, 36 \u00b1 13, and 57 \u00b1 5 \u00b5M) of human, mouse and rat OCT1 for the commonly used substrate 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP) and IC50-values of decynium22 (12.1 \u00b1 0.8, 5.3 \u00b1 0.4, and 10.5 \u00b1 0.4 \u00b5M). For the first time, we demonstrated the interaction of the cationic fungicides imazalil, azoxystrobin, prochloraz, and propamocarb with human and rodent OCT1. Drugs such as ketoconazole, clonidine, and verapamil showed substantial inhibitory potential to human, mouse, and rat OCT1 activity. A correlation analysis of hOCT1 versus mouse and rat orthologs revealed a strong functional correlation between the three species. In conclusion, this approach shows that transporter interaction data are in many cases transferable between rodents and humans, but potential species differences for other drugs and pesticides could not be excluded, though it is recommendable to perform functional comparisons of human and rodent transporters for new molecular entities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms21186871","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,19]],"date-time":"2020-09-19T07:06:09Z","timestamp":1600499169000},"page":"6871","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Functional and Pharmacological Comparison of Human, Mouse, and Rat Organic Cation Transporter 1 toward Drug and Pesticide Interaction"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Saskia","family":"Floerl","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"PortaCellTec Biosciences GmbH, 37075 Goettingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Annett","family":"Kuehne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PortaCellTec Biosciences GmbH, 37075 Goettingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yohannes","family":"Hagos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PortaCellTec Biosciences GmbH, 37075 Goettingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"549","DOI":"10.1038\/372549a0","article-title":"Drug excretion mediated by a new prototype of polyspecific transporter","volume":"372","author":"Gorboulev","year":"1994","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"913","DOI":"10.1124\/mol.51.6.913","article-title":"Cloning and functional expression of a human liver organic cation transporter","volume":"51","author":"Zhang","year":"1997","journal-title":"Mol.
