  • 1-a  Data represent IC50 values defined as the concentration of inhibitors (μM) necessary to induce a 50% inhibition of digoxin transport (Fig.3) and midazolam hydroxylation activity (Fig. 1).

  • 1-b  No inhibitory effect was observed up to 3 μM ketoconazole.

  • 1-c  89.2 ± 7.7% of control at 3 μM L754.394.

  • 1-d  72.0 ± 9.5% of control at 3 μM L754.394.
