Physiological based pharmacokinetic modeling to estimate in vivo Ki of ketoconazole on renal P-gp using human drug-drug interaction study result of fesoterodine and ketoconazole.

This study was conducted to estimate in vivo inhibition constant (Ki) of ketoconazole on renal P-glycoprotein (P-gp) using human drug-drug interaction (DDI) study result of fesoterodine and ketoconazole. Fesoterodine is a prodrug which is extensively hydrolyzed by non-specific esterases to the active metabolite 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine (5-HMT). 5-HMT is then further metabolized via Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 and CYP3A4.
