Simple center-of-the-box value from the consensus range for the three drugs for the concentration of efflux active P-gp in the apical membrane inner monolayer was about T(0) = 5 × 10−5 M, which will be used for all three drugs.

Simple center-of-the-box value from the consensus range for the three drugs was k11 = 3 × 109 M−1s−1, which will be used for all three drugs.

Binding constants were taken as the average value from Table 3, using the high concentration values for loperamide, since that should be due to P-gp.

§

Efflux rate constant k21, from P-gp into the apical chamber, was calculated by the ratio of the fitted k21T(0) for each drug and the center-of-the-box value of T(0) = 5 × 10−5 M.

Dissociation rate constant kr1 was calculated by the ratio of the fitted KB = k11/kr1 for each drug and the center-of-the-box value of k11 = 3 × 109 M−1s−1.
