Organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) expressed in the sinusoidal membrane have been shown to mediate the sodium-independent hepatic uptake of broad range of drugs and they have been associated with clinically relevant drug-drug interactions (DDIs) and genetic polymorphisms. The literature review focuses o... VO - IS - SP - OP - KW - OATP; hepatic uptake; fluvastatin; entacapone; Biofarmaci; Biopharmacy; Biofarmasia N1 - PP - ER -
