  • IC50 values are based on total concentration. Mean 6 S.E. listed, n = 3, for elacridar n = 4. The experiment was performed on three separate occasions.

  • > <: IC50 value predicted outside the concentration range tested; P, potent: P450 IC50 below published IC50 values for the relevant transporter; M, moderate: P450 IC50 from equal to 10-fold higher than IC50 values reported for the ABC-transporter; ND, no inhibition detected within the concentration range tested; W, weak: P450 IC50 values at least 10-fold higher than reported transporter IC50 values.

  • a Transporter data are from University of Tokyo transporter database (TP-search; Ozawa et al., 2004), and the UCSF FDA TransPortal (Morrissey et al., 2012).

  • b Recommended for in vivo as well as in vitro use (CDER, 2012).

  • c Caco-2 cell IC50 (CDER, 2006).

  • d IC50 values from MDCK cells overexpressing human transporters (Matsson et al., 2009).

  • e Ki value listed instead of IC50.

  • f Within 10-fold of main ABC transporter IC50.
