NC, not calculated. No value was obtained, as rates of metabolite formation were higher than control rates.

R1 = 1 + (Imax,u/Ki,u); R1,gut = 1 + (Igut/Ki,u) and [I]gut = dose (µmol)/0.25 L (U.S. FDA, 2020).

AUCR = (1/[Ag × Bg] × (1−Fg) + Fg) × (1/[Ah × Bh] × fm + (1 − fm)).

a

Potential to inhibit if R1 ≥ 1.02.

b

Potential to inhibit if R1,gut ≥ 11.

c

Potential to inhibit if AUCR ≥ 1.25.
