Table II was modified from Tsuda et al. (38). The affinities (K m, K i, or IC50) for OCT2 were obtained from four different references (15,18,26,53). The affinities for MATE1 and MATE2-K (K m, K i, or IC50) were obtained from three references (32,33,38). The plasma concentrations were obtained from Thummel et al. (54)

a K m values were obtained from Tanihara et al. (32)

bIC50 values from Astorga et al. (33). Other K i values for MATE1 and MATE2-K were obtained from Tsuda et al. (38)
