The R values were determined using the inhibition constant, Ki, with the maximum systemic concentration, Cmax (bound + unbound), of the anti-TB drugs as [I] and the maximum unbound concentration inlet to the liver, [I]u inlet,max, following the regulatory guidelines described in the text. R values represent means ± SD obtained from the inhibition constants from three or more independent experiments. ND, not determined. *, statistically significant at P < 0.05. An asterisk indicates the result is significant according to FDA, MHLW, and EMA guidance for prototypical substrates in which the R values are greater than the corresponding cutoff values recommended by the regulatory authorities under both Cmax (R ≥ 1.1, FDA) and [I]u inlet,max (R ≥ 1.25, FDA and MHLW; R ≥ 1.04, EMA) conditions. The cutoff value is expressed as the suggested value according to the upper limit of the equivalence range by the FDA.
