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 ...

Prediction of human drug clearance and anticipation of clinical drug-drug interaction potential from in vitro drug transport studies [PDF]
A major concern in drug development is the characterization of new molecular entities (NMEs) with respect to their safety and efficacy. Both factors are determined by the drug’s exposure within the body which itself is affected by drug clearance ...

Research and development of drug delivery systems based on drug transporter and nano-formulation. [PDF]
In recent years, the continuous occurrence of multi-drug resistance in the clinic has made people pay more attention to the transporter. Changes in the expression and activity of transporters can cause corresponding changes in drug pharmacokinetics and ...

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.

Nilotinib concentration in cell lines and primary CD34+ chronic myeloid leukemia cells is not mediated by active uptake or efflux by major drug transporters [PDF]
Imatinib mesylate and nilotinib are highly effective at eradicating the majority of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells; however, neither agent induces apoptosis of primitive CML CD34<sup>+</sup> cells.

Trypanosoma brucei aquaglyceroporin 2 is a high-affinity transporter for pentamidine and melaminophenyl arsenic drugs and the main genetic determinant of resistance to these drugs [PDF]
Objectives: Trypanosoma brucei drug transporters include the TbAT1/P2 aminopurine transporter and the high-affinity pentamidine transporter (HAPT1), but the genetic identity of HAPT1 is unknown. We recently reported that loss of T.
