Identification of drugs and drug metabolites as substrates of multidrug resistance protein 2 (MRP2) using triple‐transfected MDCK‐OATP1B1‐UGT1A1‐MRP2 cells

Abstract

Ezetimibe glucuronide is a substrate of human MRP2. Moreover, etoposide and possibly also its glucuronide are substrates of MRP2. These data demonstrate the functional interplay between transporter-mediated uptake, phase II metabolism and export by hepatic proteins involved in drug disposition.
