“…In developing and utilizing efflux transporter models, there are a number of variabilities in the assays that can affect the experimental outcomes. Sources of variabilities include the choice of cell line (11,38,39), culture conditions (e.g., cell passage number and monolayer age) (40,41), control substrate or inhibitor specificity (17,42,43), level of transporter expression (44,45), and data analysis (13,19). The objective of this study is to focus on the variability in in vitro inhibition potency determination that may be caused by different calculation methods (e.g., efflux parameters and software programs) from a bidirectional Caco-2 cell assay.…”
