Combined interaction between drugs and p-cresylsulfate (PCS) on OAT1-mediated fluorescein uptake. (A) Schematic representation of the co-incubation of fluorescein with variable concentrations of drugs and fixed concentration of PCS. (B) The drug alone (grey line) shows a concentration-dependent inhibition effect. During the co-incubation of cells with variable drug concentrations and a fixed concentration of PCS (125 µM, purple line), the concentration-dependent inhibition trend is maintained. All data are expressed as mean ± SD of four independent experiment. Curves were obtained after non-linear regression analysis. The reference value for the drug alone (grey line) is fluorescein without the drug (100%), while for the co-incubation with PCS (purple line) the reference value is fluorescein in the presence of PCS without the drug (46.7 ± 4.5%). Grey regions indicate the therapeutic window of the respective drug.
