TABLE 1

Data supporting ECCS classification of 36 marketed drugs and collected data on main elimination pathways

Table 1 summarizes physicochemical parameters used for the ECCS classification of 36 marketed drugs. The pathways (enzymes and transporters) involved in hepatic (and renal) elimination are provided. Pathway descriptions are provided in parentheses if the clinical relevance of the elimination pathways is not confirmed. Passive permeability (Papp) in the apical to basal direction in LLC-PK1 cells was measured in the present study or was taken from the literature (Caco-2 permeability) in the instances for which the reference is provided. Documentation for physiologically based pharmacokinetic models for the marketed drugs are provided with the SimCYP software platform and have been verified to show good performance for prediction of PK profiles and drug-drug interaction potential. Therefore, the model input parameters and drug disposition pathways were used for the current assessment.
