Inhibitory potency of cyclosporine A, troglitazone and ketoconazole against 1 μM [3H]TCA uptake into membrane vesicles (7.5 μg protein) expressing human, dog and cat BSEP/Bsep

  IC50 (μM)
Human Dog Cat
Cyclosporine A
7.8 ± 1.2
3.8 ± 0.2
6.0 ± 0.8
Troglitazone
20.9 ± 2.9
23.9 ± 2.5
13.6 ± 4.2
Ketoconazole 20.6 ± 1.1 34.2 ± 2.0 41.8 ± 6.6

Inhibition curves were fitted by using GraphPad Prism 6.01 software (samples without inhibitor were set on 100%). [3H]TCA uptake in presence of ATP was corrected for uptake in presence of AMP. Measurements were performed in duplicate in four independent experiments. Statistical significance was determined by one-way ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni post-hoc test with P < 0.05 denoting a significant difference. No significant differences were found between the different species.
