  • AFE, average-fold error model; PPE, percentage prediction error model; Fg′, fraction of drug escaping gut-wall metabolism in the presence of rifampicin; Fg, fraction of drug escaping gut-wall metabolism in the absence of rifampicin; RMSE, root mean square error model.

  • a Time of repaglinide oral dose after the last dose of rifampicin.

  • b For the static model, CYP3A4 induction was assumed constant for 24 hours after the rifampicin treatment and was calculated using 1.76 µM for [Iu,max,in] or 3.75µM for [Iu,gut].

  • c R-value for OATP1B1-mediated interaction (Giacomini et al., 2010; US Food and Drug Administration, 2012) was calculated as 1+(Iu,max,in/Ki).
