Abstract excerpt
Rifampicin (rifampin) is a potent inducer of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4. It was recently identified as a substrate of the polymorphic organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1) expressed on the sinusoidal membrane of human hepatocytes. The present study aimed to investigate the possible association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the SLCO1B1 gene encoding for OATP1B1 with the inducing effect...
