Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To (i) determine whether montelukast undergoes carrier-mediated uptake; (ii) classify the carrier protein(s) responsible for uptake; (iii) identify specific transporters that mediate transport of montelukast; and (iv) evaluate whether variation in the gene encoding the transport protein(s) influences the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of montelukast. METHODS: In-vitro permeability studies of...
