The underlying mechanism for the transporter-mediated drug-drug interaction is the induction or inhibition of the transporter which is involved in the cellular uptake and efflux of drugs. Transporter of the brain, liver, kidney, and intestine are major determinants that alter the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion profile of drugs, and considerably influence the pharmacokinetic profile of drugs. As a consequence, transporter proteins may affect the therapeutic activity and safety of drugs. However, mounting evidence suggests that many drugs change the activity and/or expression of the transporter protein. Accordingly, evaluation of drug interaction during the drug development process is an integral part of risk assessment and regulatory requirements. Therefore, this review will highlight the clinical significance of the transporter, their role in disease, possible cause underlying the drug-drug interactions using analytical tools, and update on the regulatory requirement. The recent <i>in-silico</i> approaches which emphasize the advancement in the discovery of drug-drug interactions are also highlighted in this review. Besides, we discuss several endogenous biomarkers that have shown to act as substrates for many transporters, which could be potent determinants to find the drug-drug interactions mediated by transporters.

While the majority of toxicogenomic studies have been based on cell lines, there are emerging trends toward the predominant use of stem cell-derived organoids and primary human hepatocytes in complex 3D cell models. Such studies have been successful in disentangling diverse toxicity mechanisms, including genotoxicity, mitochondrial injury, steatogenesis and cholestasis and can aid in distinguishing hepatotoxic from nontoxic structural analogs. Furthermore, by leveraging inter-individual differences of cells from different donors, these approaches can emulate the complexity of polygenic risk scores, which facilitates personalized drug-specific DILI risk analyses.
