Kinetic parameters associated with the uptake of p-aminohippuric acid (PAH) in the presence of various acamprosate concentrations in OAT1 expressing HEK293 cells. Data are reported as mean ± SEM of replicates in three cell passages obtained at Lab. 2.
| Substrate—PAH | 0 (µM) Acamprosate | 625 (µM) Acamprosate | 1250 (µM) Acamprosate | 25,000 (µM) Acamprosate | 
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Km, app (µM) | 5.6 ± 1.4 | 11.9 ± 3.2 | 17.9 ± 3.2 | 36.5 ± 7.4 * | 
| Vmax, app (pmol∙cm−2∙min−1) | 21.1 ± 1.1 | 23.4 ± 1.7ns | 24.4 ± 1.3ns | 27.6 ± 2.1ns | 
| Km (µM) | 7.7 ± 1.3 | |||
| Vmax (pmol∙cm−2∙min−1) | 23.2 ± 0.7 | |||
| Ki (µM) | 1229 ± 341 | |||
Km and Vmax values were compared using an ANOVA test, where means were significantly different for Km values and not significantly different for Vmax values. Values were compared to 0 (µM) acamprosate using a Dunnett’s post-test; * p < 0.05 and ns: not significant.
