Ratio of intercompartmental rate constants (basolateral efflux/uptake) for CDF disposition in livers from wild type and Mrp2-deficient rats in the presence or absence of probenecid

TreatmentRatio in Wild-Type RatsRatio in TR Rats
CDFDA control0.13  ± 0.1715.3  ± 6.84-a
CDFDA + probenecid (260 μM)3.4  ± 1.64-b 5.5  ± 3.34-b
CDFDA + probenecid (4 mM)N/A4-c 2.4  ± 0.74-b

Values are mean ± S.D., n = 3/group.

  • 4-ap < 0.05, comparison of mutant to wild-type.

  • 4-bp < 0.05, values compared with control in relevant group.

  • 4-c  CDF disposition in wild-type rat livers was not assessed at 4 mM probenecid.
