Table 1.

Maximum observed SLC22A1 inhibition and calculated relative and absolute IC50 values for darunavir, efavirenz, and control SLC22A1 inhibitor prazosin.

Inhibitor TEA accumulation when 100 μM inhibitor used (%compared to inhibitor-free control) Relative IC50 (μM) Absolute IC50 (μM)
Prazosin 16.1 2.3 2.8
Darunavir 41.3 15.9 46.2
Efavirenz 39.7 7.4 21.8

The relative IC50 is the amount of drug needed to achieve 50% SLC22A1 inhibition as determined from the maximum and minimum extremes of the non-linear regression plot. The absolute IC50 is the amount of drug needed to achieve 50% SLC22A1 as determined from the maximum of the non-linear regression plot and 0% accumulation.
