1. In vitro and in silico prediction of drug-drug interactions with transport proteins
Abstract : Drug transport across cells and cell membranes in the human body is crucial for the pharmacological effect of drugs. Active transport governed by transport proteins plays an important role in this process. A vast number of transport proteins with a wide tissue distribution have been identified during the last 15 years. READ MORE

2. In vitro and in silico Predictions of Hepatic Transporter-Mediated Drug Clearance and Drug-Drug Interactions in vivo
Abstract : The liver is the major detoxifying organ, clearing the blood from drugs and other xenobiotics. The extent of hepatic clearance (CL) determines drug exposure and hence, the efficacy and toxicity associated with exposure. Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) that alter the hepatic CL may cause more or less severe outcomes, such as adverse drug reactions. READ MORE

3. Human liver in vitro models for evaluation of drug metabolism and disposition
Abstract : The administrated dose of a drug is adjusted to give a therapeutic effect in patients without causing side-effects or toxicity. Cytochrome P450 (P450) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes, uptake and efflux transporters and nuclear receptors regulating these enzymes, expressed in the liver and in other tissues, are all important players in drug metabolism, disposition and elimination.

4. Intracellular unbound drug concentrations : Methodology and application for understanding cellular drug exposure
Abstract : Most known drug targets and metabolizing enzymes are located inside cells. Interactions with these proteins are determined by intracellular unbound drug concentrations. Assessing intracellular drug exposure is technically challenging, but essential for predicting pharmacokinetic, pharmacological, and toxicological profiles of new drugs. READ MORE
