aValues are measured in rats

bAssumed value based on physiological knowledge, used for human predictions[7]

cValues are measured in rats and corrected for human translation as described in [7]; indomethacin is MRP4 [63], MRP6 [64], OAT1[65], OAT3 [66] substrate. Expression levels of these transporters are at least eightfold lower in humans than in rats [6769]. No information on interspecies differences of transporter activity could be identified and was then assumed the same. Thus, AF factors were calculated using rat values and then divided by scaling factor = 8

dDose: 4 mg/kg

eDose: 10, 40 mg/kg
