Utility of Mdr1-Gene Deficient Mice in Assessing the Impact of P-glycoprotein on Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics in Drug Discovery and Development
1 Aug 2003
Abstract excerpt
Since the generation of the multi-drug resistance 1 (mdr1) gene knockout (KO) mice in the early 90's, these animals have been instrumental to our understanding of the physiological roles of mdr1 gene product P-glycoprotein. Located in crucial organs such as brain, intestine, liver, and kidney, P-glycoprotein-mediated transport has been shown to affect both the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of endogenous...
