Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) are the primary immunosuppressive drugs used in solid organ transplantation but are associated with the development of histological lesions leading to kidney failure. CNIs are metabolized by CYP3A and excreted by not only P-glycoprotein (P-gp) (ABCB1) in the gut and liver, but also by proximal tubule cells (PTCs) in the kidney. Multiple studies have demonstrated the...
