Abstract excerpt
P-glycoprotein (P-gp), encoded by the multidrug resistance 1 gene (MDR1/ABCB1), exhibits very broad substrate specificity and plays important roles in drug disposition. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of impaired P-gp activity on the plasma pharmacokinetics of P-gp substrates in collies with or without homozygous mutant alleles producing truncated P-gp. Three therapeutic agents,...
