Table 5.

Evaluation of possible association between clinical rhabdomyolysis and/or carnitine deficiency and hOCTN2 inhibition. Cmax/Ki was computed for compounds in Table 2 and 4.a Compounds in bold text employ Ki (or IC50) values from literature (i.e. Table 4). Compounds listed in descending order of Cmax/Ki value. See Supplemental Table S6 for references 1-65 in this table

a

The following compounds from Table 2 or 4 are not listed below, since they were previously considered9 in evaluating a possible association to hOCTN2 inhibition: zidovudine, lamivudine, ketorolac, levofloxacin, succinylcholine, and procarbazine. Although listed in Table 4, (−)-N-butylscopolamine is not included in Table 5 since its Cmax is unknown.

b

Values for Cmax in units of μM were computed using compound molecular weight and Cmax from the literature. References 20-65 provide literature Cmax values for listed compounds in Table 5, respectively. See Supplemental Table S6 for references 1-65 in this table.
