Abstract
The importance of transporter-mediated drug–drug interaction (TP-DDI) has been rapidly recognized by the recent publication of its clinical evidences and subsequent updated regulatory guidance (guideline). The methods of TP-DDI prediction are roughly divided into two approaches; static model and dynamic model. Static model with theoretically maximum unbound concentration is useful to sensitively catch the signal of DDIs, but predicted DDI risk should always be overestimated. Dynamic model fully considers the time courses of the plasma and tissue concentrations of both substrate and inhibitor drugs by the physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model, thus accurate estimation of DDI risk can be achieved. However, the universal methods to set up model parameters based on the in vitro results with scaling factors remain to be discussed. This chapter is mainly focused on the basic theory and recent progress of the methods for TP-DDI predictions.
