  • a A static model incorporating parallel pathways was used (Ito et al., 2005; Lu et al., 2008). The EH of paclitaxel was not incorporated.

  • b A static model described by Kirby and Unadkat (2010) was used by incorporating parallel pathways and with the consideration of paclitaxel EH.

  • c Observed AUCratio was estimated based on literature reports (Table 1) where AUC values were available.

  • d Arbitrary EH values were assigned and used for comparison purposes.

  • e The EH value of paclitaxel was estimated based on literature data (Smorenburg et al., 2003) as described in Materials and Methods.
