TABLE 2

BCRP substrate in vitro results of drugs tested in M-BCRP cells at 1 µM

When PappAB could not be estimated as associated samples were below the limit of quantification, a value was calculated using the limit of detection and is indicated as “<” to this value; equally, the ER is estimated to be “>” to the calculated ratio. Ten more compounds were tested but failed in this high-throughput screening setup due to an apparent low permeability (all samples below the limit of detection, mostly corresponding to an average Pappi < 15 nm/s): doxorubicin, E3S, vincristine, lamivudine, MTX, rosuvastatin, metformin, tamoxifen, nitrofurantoin, sulfasalazine.

  • ERi, efflux ratio in the presence of inhibitor; N, not substrate (no); Papp (in nm/s), apparent permeability either from apical to basolateral (AB) or from basolateral to apical (BA); Pappi (in nm/s), apparent permeability in the presence of inhibitor; Y, substrate (yes).

  • a ER in M-BCRP ≥2 but equivalent in MDCKII and insensitive to Ko143 (1 µM).

  • b No S.D. [one or two triplicate(s) were discarded due to high lucifer yellow values or disproportionate recovery].

  • c ER in M-BCRP ≥2 significantly different in MDCKII, but insensitive to Ko143 (1 µM).

  • d Tested at 0.5 µM (toxic at 1 µM).

  • e SN38 (7-Ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin); active metabolite of irinotecan.
