TABLE 1.

Inhibitory effect of 88 compounds on MRP3-mediated E217G transport and MRP4-mediated DHEAS transport, and reported BSEP inhibition

Values in bold indicate that the compounds are defined as MRP3 and MRP4 inhibitors at a concentration of 100 μM based on a cutoff of 19% and 21% for inhibition of MRP3- and MRP4-mediated transport to predict cholestatic potential, respectively.
