Any suggestions for comparing EPS liability for D2/D3 antagonists that are pGP substrates?

Well, after an exhaustive lit. search and much discussion. We settled on the mouse amphetamine/catalepsy model for assessing CNS binding and the use of CaCo II cells to look at BBB permeability related to PgP.
