Simulation of renal clearance of para‐aminohippuric acid (PAH) and cimetidine in the presence and absence of active secretion clearances. The renal clearances were simulated as described in Methods section and Supplementary Materials using collected permeability data in Caco‐2 cells, plasma unbound fraction (f u,p), active secretion clearance at apical side of each of the three subsegments of proximal tubule CLapi,scr and active secretion clearance at basolateral side of each of the three subsegments of proximal tubule CLbsl,scr. The tubular subsegment for secretion clearance indicates the specific subsegment in which the secretion clearance was incorporated. Secretion clearances were set as 0 in all other subsegments
