Evaluating Hepatobiliary Transport with 18F-Labeled Bile Acids: The Effect of Radiolabel Position and Bile Acid Structure on Radiosynthesis and In Vitro and In Vivo Performance

Table 2

Calculated Ki-values of the bile acid analogues for NTCP, OATP1B1, and BSEP. Data are mean ± SD (n = 3). 3βFCA IC50-values were extracted from literature [13] and used to calculate the Ki-values.
