TABLE 1

Kinetic parameters for the transcellular transport in LLC-PK1 and LLC-GA5-COL150 cells

The transport of [14C]bepotastine, fexofenadine, and [3H]digoxin across LLC-PK1 and LLC-GA5-COL150 monolayers in the presence or absence of P-gp inhibitor was evaluated, the amount transported to the receiver side in the A-to-B and B-to-A direction for 2 h after adding the drugs. Each value represents the mean ± S.E.M. of three to six experiments.
