  • a CLrenal, u, unbound renal clearance (Yasui-Furukori et al., 2005).

  • b CLsc, tubular secretion clearance (CLrenal, u - CLcreatinine). Creatinine clearance value was used for the value of glomerular filtration rate (97 ml/min; van Crugten et al., 1985).

  • c Iu, max, maximum unbound plasma concentration of inhibitor (Selen et al., 1982; van Crugten et al., 1985).

  • d R value was calculated according to the following equation: R = 1/(1 + Iu, max/Ki).
