The updated and expanded third edition includes new chapters on in vitro-in vivo scale-up of drug transport activities, the ontogeny of drug transporters, the application of physiologically-based pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic modeling, and the use of transporters as therapeutic targets for diseases.

• Reflects the current state of the field and offers perspectives on future directions
• Covers basic knowledge, clinical outcomes, and emerging discoveries in transporter science
• Provides up-to-date information on drug transporter families, mechanisms, and clinical implications
• Includes extensive references and numerous figures and tables throughout

Understandable for novices while offering sufficient depth for more experienced researchers, Drug Transporters: Molecular Characterization and Role in Drug Disposition, Third Edition is an excellent textbook for pharmacological or physiological science courses in drug/membrane transport, and an invaluable reference for academic or industrial scientists working in the transporter field and related areas of drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics.
