Genetic polymorphisms of drug transporters: pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic consequences in pharmacotherapy

Abstract excerpt

There has been increasing appreciation of the role of drug transporters in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic consequences in pharmacotherapy. The clinical relevance of drug transporters depends on the localisation in human tissues (i.e., vectorial movement), the therapeutic index of the substrates and inherent interindividual variability. With regard to variability, polymorphisms of drug transporter genes have...
