[a] Calculated partition coefficient log P octanol/water determined using Molecular Operating Environment (MOE) version 2014.09. [b] Score between 0 and 1, given by in silico models, roughly corresponds to the probability of being an inhibitor; in silico predictions over 0.5 are marked in bold and represent compounds that are predicted as inhibitors by the models. [c] IC50 values represent the mean±SD of at least n=3 independent experiments performed at least in duplicate; for inhibition of BCRP, 11 a was measured in n=2 independent experiments; the exact number of experiments is given in the Supporting Information (Figure S1 and Table S3); IC50 values were evaluated as described in the Experimental Section; n.d.: not determined.
