In Vitro DDI Drug Transporter Studies | ADME 101 Webinar: Efflux and Uptake Transporters

Presented by Andrew Taylor, Ph.D., Services Technical Support Manager

Drug transport can be thought of as the AD&E in ADME, as transporters are responsible for absorption, distribution, tissue-specific drug targeting, and elimination of drugs. Since they are involved in so much of the movement of a compound through the body, they can be involved in many drug‒drug interactions (DDI). The clearance of transporter substrates can be impacted by transporter inhibitors or inducers which can lead to toxicity or loss of efficacy.

Key concepts discussed in this mini-webinar:

• An overview of drug transporters, including ATP-binding cassette (ABC) and solute carrier (SLC)
• Why drug transporter studies are important, including a real-world example
• An explanation of transporter expression and function
• Regulatory guidance on transporters, including FDA, EMA & PMDA
• Inhibition and substrate transporter study design, including Efflux Transporter Transwell Assays, SLC Transporter Uptake Assays, and BSEP and MRP2 Vesicle Assays
• An example of study result data
• Different transporter study and test system options and more…
