Toxicity Parameters for Human and Rat

Human Rat
Bile acid transporter inhibition constant (µM)
BSEP 94a 129.7b
MRP3 11.2 11.2c
MRP4 12.3 12.3c
NTCP 19.5 19.5c
Mitochondrial toxicity constant (mM)
ETC inhibition constant 14.2 1.42
ROS production constant (mL/mol/h)
ROS production constant 7278 9705

Transporter inhibition constants for CKA pertaining to bile acid and bilirubin were used as Ki values in simulating CKA-mediated hepatotoxicity. The electron transport chain (ETC) inhibition constant and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production constant parameters were optimized to data using MITOsym and DILIsym, respectively. IC50 values, non-competitive inhibition assumed for efflux transporters (BSEP, MRP3, MRP4), competitive inhibition assumed for uptake transporter (NTCP). For transporters where data were lacking, the same IC50 value was assumed across species, as indicated.
