  • a Data are the mean ± S.D. from three monolayers over 90 min using Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s medium as the transport buffer. All donor compartments contained Lucifer yellow (100 μM) to determine monolayer integrity (pass criterion P 7.4 ≤ 50 nm/s). Amprenavir served as a positive control for Pgp efflux and cimetidine for BCRP efflux. The measured radiochemical purity of [14C]DTG was >98% and no metabolic or chemical degradation was detected during the studies.

  • b GF120918 was used in both donor and receiver compartments at 2 μM for Pgp and BCRP.
