Topotecan lactone pharmacokinetic parameters - volume of distribution (Vd), systemic clearance (CL), elimination half life (t1/2) area under the plasma curve at infinity (AUCinf), renal fraction of dose (fu, %), fecal fraction of dose (ff, %) in male C57BL/6 (WT), Abcc2−/−, Abcc4−/−, Abcb1−/−, Abcg2−/−, Abcc2;Abcg2, Abcc4;Abcg2−/− and Abcc2;Abcb1−/− mice, after IV administration of 1 mg/kg and 4 mg/kg topotecan. The pharmacokinetic parameters were analyzed by noncompartmental analysis using WinNonlin Professional Version 5.2. The statistical differences were determined using the One-Way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparison (GraphPad Prism version 5.04) tests to compare inter-strain differences. Data are expressed as mean values of the Vd, CL, AUC, t1/2, fu, %, ff, %±SD (n = 5–7;
