aThe in vitro information of dasatinib as transporter substrate was not available

bExcept for CYP3A4 Kapp and CYP3A4 Kinact, Ki was calculated from IC50 using the equation for competitive inhibition (Ki = IC50/[(S/Km) + 1]

cDasatinib was not expected to inhibit other CYP enzymes or transporters; the IC50 values for other CYPs (CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYPC9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP2E1) were ≥ 35 µM and values for other transporters (P-gp, BCRP, MRP2, MRP3, MRP4, OAT1, and OAT3) were ≥ 19.5 µM

dWhen more than one Ki value was reported/listed, the model used the most potent value for a conservative approach, i.e., 5.0 (testosterone) versus 9.0 µM (midazolam) for CYP3A4; 2.33 and 2.75 versus 9.2 and 4.4 µM for OATP1B1 and OATP1B3, respectively
