  • a IC50 values represent the mean (± S.E.) of the number of separate experiments indicated in parentheses. In some cases the values include experiments with OCT2 expressed in both Chinese hamster ovary and HEK293 cells (HEK293 values indicated in italics).

  • b The values were obtained from graphical interpolation of data presented in Fig. 6c from Zolk et al. (2009).
