  • a k1 And T(0) are fitted simultaneously using the data for all drugs, and are therefore noted by “same as above.” The unit P-gp/μm2 can be converted to μmols P-gp per liter of inner apical membrane simply by dividing by 0.8 (Tran et al., 2005).

  • b kr Is the dissociation rate constant from the P-gp binding site into the apical bilayer.

  • c k2 Is the efflux rate constant from the P-gp binding site into the apical chamber.

  • d The partition coefficient between the cytosol and the inner plasma/apical monolayer, KPC. Cell membrane partition coefficients were estimated using data from 0.1 μm extruded unilamellar liposomes (Tran et al., 2005) whose lipid compositions roughly mimic the lipid compositions of the respective membrane monolayers: inner cytosolic, phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylethanolamine/phosphatidylcholine (1:1:1); apical outer phosphatidylcholine/sphingomyelin/cholesterol; and basolateral outer, phosphatidylcholine/cholesterol (2:1) (Lumen et al., 2013). Only the inner cytosolic monolayer partition coefficient, KPC, is shown in this table.

  • e PBA and PAB refer to the steady-state passive permeability coefficient in the presence of GF120918, B>A and A>B, respectively.

  • f kB And kA refer to the first-order clearance rates (s−1) for transport modeled as a bidirectional update transporter (Agnani et al., 2011).
