Abstract

Objective Placental transfer of LevoXoxacin (LF), a broad spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic, and its inhibition was investigated in Befio cells, a human trophoblast cell line. Methods The experiments of LF uptake by Befio cells were performed after preincubation and in the presence of the P-glycoprotein inhibitors (Cyclosporin A, Verapamil and Quercetin), the organic anion/cation transporter inhibitor (Cimetidine) and the MCT substrates (lactic acid and salicylic acid).
