Popis: Purpose. Although sister-P-glycoprotein (SPGP, BSEP) is closely related to P-glycoprotein, it is much more selective in distribution and substrate recognition. Moreover, because inhibition or lack of BSEP function has severe consequences including cholestasis, hepatotoxicity, exposure to toxic xenobiotics, and drug interactions, in vitro methods are necessary for quantifying and characterizing specific inhibition of BSEP. Therefore, the objective is to discern a method and quantitatively characterize several example BSEP inhibitors.
