TABLE 1

Effect of E-sul on the uptake of tel-glu and E217βG by cryopreserved human hepatocytes in the presence of 0.3% HSA

The substrate concentration used was 2 and 50 μM for tel-glu and 1 and 200 μM for E217βG. The saturable uptake of tel-glu and E217βG into cyropreserved human hepatocytes was determined after the subtraction of nonsaturable uptake (evaluated as the uptake clearance in the presence of 50 μM tel-glu or 200 μM E217βG). The term “% control” represents the ratio of the uptake clearance in the presence of 30 μM E-sul to that in its absence.
