    Abstract

    Despite a much lower content of many drug metabolising enzymes in the intestinal epithelium
    compared to the liver (e.g. intestinal CYP3A abundance in the intestine is 1% that of the liver
    [1,2]), intestinal metabolic extraction may be similar to or even exceed hepatic extraction. The
    purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of two „minimal‟ models, the “well-stirred”
    gut model and the “QGut ” model, in predicting intestinal first-pass metabolism from in vitro metabolic data
