Perorally administered quaternary ammonium compounds are well accepted therapeutics for the treatment of hypotension and bradycardia, as well as biliary, gastrointestinal and urinary-tract spasms. Most of these permanently charged compounds have been reported to show low intestinal absorption rates and thus low bio­availabilities after peroral administration. This observation has been predominantly related to the hydrophilic nature of the compounds resulting in difficulties overcoming the lipophilic barrier of the intestinal epithelium. However, few quaternary ammonium compounds are known to be well absorbed by the intestine and intestinal trans­port proteins have been hypothesized to contribute to the diffe­rences in the intestinal permeation of the drugs.

Annette Koggel investigates the influence of Organic Cation Trans­porters (OCT`s) and the multidrug resistance transporter P-glyco­protein (P-gp) on the epithelial permeability of cationic drugs by using cell-culture based in vitro transport- and radioligand binding methods. On the basis of her results new insights into the intestinal absorption and excretion of cationic drugs could be won.

The authoress: born in 1970; studied Pharmacy at the Johannes Gutenberg-University in Mainz; qualified as a pharmacist; PhD studies under the supervision of Prof. Dr. P. Langguth; Annette Koggel works as a research associate in the department of biopharmacy and pharmaceutical techno­logy at Johannes Gutenberg-University School of Pharmacy in Mainz.

Acknowledgments

First of all, I want to thank my supervisor Prof. Dr. P. Langguth for giving me the opportunity to work on this thesis at his department and for providing me with the interesting project. His constructive advice, constant support and many productive discussions considerably contributed to the progress and the completion of this work.

Furthermore, I would like to thank Prof. Dr. H. Spahn-Langguth for providing me with many interesting test-compounds and for helpful discussions throughout the development of the radioligand binding assay, P.D. Dr. E. Closs from the Department of Pharmacology, University of Mainz, for giving me the opportunity to carry out the molecular biological investigations at the Department of Pharmacology and her kind advice and Prof. Dr. F. Moll for supervising the beginning of my work at the department.

Moreover, I want to express my gratitude to Dr. A. Braun, who encouraged and supported me from the beginning of my professional development. I highly appreciate her for her honest words, when they are needed and her sensibility for the “non-scientific” needs of the members of our group.

My special thanks go to Dr. S. Kober. I feel sincerely indebted to her, not only for her scientific support, effort and interest in my work at any time, but for the excellent time we shared at the department, which was mainly due to her cheerful and positive personality.

I want to thank my lab colleague Daniel Wagner for the good and always harmonious time. Sometimes it was quite curative to see the things from the point of view of the “male” member of our group.

Moreover, I want to thank my colleagues Monika Ofer, Cara Seidel, Isabell Schöttle, Natalie Glube, Amal Abou El Ela and Karin Esser (the first member of our after-lunch espresso group) for their great support and many funny hours at the department.

In particular I thank my friend and colleague Tanja Lenhardt for our good teamwork and friendship for more than 13 years now and her steady support in every sense, as well as Sandra Lutz, Marisa Sendra-Todo and Felicitas Hens for their great help with the cell-cultures.

Especially I want to express my gratitude to my brother Claus, whose advice and confidence I appreciate most, and Patrick Schmidt for his encouragement and friendship even over a distance of more than 1000 km.

I am deeply indebted to my friend Jürgen Heusinger for his unlimited understanding and greatest support over the last years and for his immense effort to organize our life besides work and science. Without him and his help it would have been much harder.

Most of all I thank my parents, to whom this work is dedicated to; much to my regret I can’t express my deep gratitude to my mother.
