Validation of Pharmacological Protocols for Targeted Inhibition of Canalicular MRP2 Activity in Hepatocytes Using [<sup>99m</sup>Tc]mebrofenin Imaging in Rats
The multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2) mediates the biliary excretion of drugs and metabolites. [<sup>99m</sup>Tc]mebrofenin may be employed as a probe for hepatic MRP2 activity because its biliary excretion is predominantly mediated by this transporter. As the liver uptake...
