Abstract excerpt
ATP-binding castle protein G2 (ABCG2) is thought to inhibit the activities of certain gefitinib transporters, thereby affecting drug pharmacokinetics. The C421A polymorphism affects the function and expression of ABCG2 on the cell membrane. Previous studies have shown that proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) inhibit gefitinib absorption, as well as the function of ABCG2. We evaluated the plasma concentrations of...
