Abstract excerpt
Irinotecan hydrochloride (CPT-11) is a potent anticancer drug that is converted to its active metabolite, 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38), and other metabolites in liver. The disposition and gastrointestinal toxicity of irinotecan exhibit a wide interpatient variability. Here, we examined the contribution of an organic anion-transporting polypeptide, OATP1B1 (OATP-C), which transports a variety of drugs...
