Table 3.

Assessment of the physiologically-based tubular reabsorption model for prediction of CLR. Performance of the mechanistic model was assessed initially for all drugs with a measured Caco-2 Papp value with the exception of those that showed evidence of net secretion (clearance ratio > 1.5). Subsequently, the tubular reabsorption model was reassessed after excluding drugs currently identified as substrates for drug transporters expressed within kidney.
