Rabbit renal proximal tubular transport of riboflavin (RF) was examined by using the in vitro isolated tubule perfusion technique. We found that proximal tubules actively reabsorbed (Jlb) and secreted (Jbl) RF. At 0.1 µM RF concentration, Jbl was significantly higher than Jlb, resulting in a net secretion. This net secretion of RF was decreased at 0.01 µM RF concentration and increased at 1 µM RF concentration. Both Jlb and Jbl were inhibited by lowering temperature or by adding iodoacetate, a metabolic inhibitor, and lumichrome, an RF analog, suggesting the involvement of carrier-mediated transport mechanisms. Jbl was inhibited by probenecid, an anion transport inhibitor, and by para-aminohippuric acid, an organic anion, suggesting the relevance of RF secretion to renal organic anion transport. Jbl was also inhibited by alkaline pH (8.0) and by the calmodulin inhibitor trifluoperazine, indicating the influence of pH and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent pathway on RF secretion. Finally, we found that addition of chlorpromazine, a phenothiazine derivative, inhibited both Jlb and Jbl, raising the concern about the nutritional status in patients receiving such a type of medication.
