Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is glucuronidated by uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) to its pharmacologically inactive 7-O-glucuronide metabolite (MPAG). MPAG is excreted into the bile via the multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2/ABCC2), which is essential for enterohepatic (re)circulation (EHC) of MPA(G). METHODS: The objective of this study was to determine the relationship...
