Understand if your compound is an in vitro substrate for the main hepatic Oatp uptake transporter of preclinical species, namely rat Oatp1b2, dog Oatp1b4 or Cynomolgus monkey Oatp1b1.
Preclinical species hepatic Oatp uptake transporter substrate identification is within our portfolio of in vitro drug transporter services. Cyprotex deliver consistent, high quality data with the flexibility to adapt protocols based on specific customer requirements.
It has become increasingly clear that there are significant differences between rodents, dog, monkey, and human in the substrate specificity, tissue distribution, and relative abundance of transporters. These differences complicate cross-species extrapolations, which is important when attempting to predict human pharmacokinetics (PK) of drug candidates and assess risk for drug–drug interactions (DDIs).
