Transporter-Mediated Drug Delivery [PDF]
Transmembrane transport of small organic and inorganic molecules is one of the cornerstones of cellular metabolism. Among transmembrane transporters, solute carrier (SLC) proteins form the largest, albeit very diverse, superfamily with over 400 members ...

The Role of Solute Carrier Transporters in Efficient Anticancer Drug Delivery and Therapy
Transporter-mediated drug resistance is a major obstacle in anticancer drug delivery and a key reason for cancer drug therapy failure. Membrane solute carrier (SLC) transporters play a crucial role in the cellular uptake of drugs.

Drug transporters in pharmacokinetics [PDF]
This review deals with the drug transporters allowing drugs to enter and leave cells by carrier-mediated pathways. Emphasis is put on liver transporters but systems in gut, kidney, and blood-brain barrier are mentioned as well. Drug-drug interactions on carriers may provoke significant modification in pharmacokinetics as do carrier gene polymorphisms ...

Kidney Drug Transporters in Pharmacotherapy
The kidney functions not only as a metabolite elimination organ but also plays an important role in pharmacotherapy. The kidney tubule epithelia cells express membrane carriers and transporters, which play an important role in drug elimination, and can determine drug nephrotoxicity and drug–drug interactions, as well as constituting direct drug targets.
