Information includes score for drug-induced liver injury (DILI) concerns (1 = most, 2 = less, 3 = ambiguous, 4 = none), transporter inhibition, physicochemical properties, inclusion in the World Health Organization (WHO) model list of essential medicines (indicated by X), and listing as a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) model substrate or inhibitor for transporters (indicated by x). ASBT, apical sodium-dependent bile salt transporter; BCRP, breast cancer resistance protein; BSEP, bile salt export pump; LogD, distribution constant; MRP, multidrug resistance-associated protein; OSTα/β, organic solute transporter α/β; Pgp, P-glycoprotein; PSA, polar surface area. Physicochemical properties, PSA, and LogD of the compounds were obtained from SciFinder, Chemical Abstracts Service (American Chemical Society, Columbus, OH), and ChemSpider (Royal Society of Chemistry, Raleigh, NC) (May 8, 2017).
