Investigating Protein-Facilitated Uptake of OATP Substrates: From In Vitro Data to PBPK Modeling

The fourth and final webinar in this series on drug transporters was presented by Christine Bowman from Genentech.

About the Webinar

Christine will discuss the concept of protein-facilitated uptake and the recently proposed hypothesis of a transporter-induced protein binding shift In vitro data generated with hepatocytes and HEK293 cells will be described as well as the results of using the HEK293 data for input in PBPK models. The results suggest that high affinity binding to transporters may change the equilibrium of nonspecific binding between drugs and plasma proteins, leading to greater cellular uptake and clearance than currently predicted.
