Positioning Enzyme- and Transporter-Based Precipitant Drug-Drug Interaction Studies in Drug Design.

assessment of the potential of compounds to affect drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters and perpetrate drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is a common practice in drug research. For the development phase, regulators define an exhaustive list of enzymes and transporters to consider, but DDIs associated with many of these are minor and can be well-managed in the clinic; thus, progression of drug candidates that address unmet medical needs should not be curtailed due to this property. However, some enzymes and transporters are very important in drug disposition, so it is important to avoid/reduce inhibition or induction of these through drug design.

Scholars usually distinguish between testimonial and hermeneutical epistemic injustice in healthcare. The former arises from negative stereotyping and stigmatization, while the latter occurs when the hermeneutical resources of the dominant community are inadequate for articulating the experience of one's illness. However, the heuristics provided by these two types of epistemic predicaments tend to overlook salient forms of epistemic injustice.
