The macaque is widely used for investigation of drug metabolism due to its evolutionary closeness to the human. However, the genetic backgrounds of drug-metabolizing enzymes have not been fully investigated; therefore, identification and characterization of drug-metabolizing enzyme genes are important

We investigated whether human pharmacogenetic factors could be characterized using chimeric NOG mice expressing a thymidine kinase transgene (TK-NOG) with 'humanized' livers. The rate of human-specific metabolism of two drugs was measured in chimeric mice reconstituted with human hepatocytes with

The study aim was to assess the inductive properties of artemisinin antimalarials using mephenytoin as a probe for CYP2B6 and CYP2C19 enzymatic activity. The population pharmacokinetics of S-mephenytoin and its metabolites S-nirvanol and S-4'-hydroxymephenytoin, including enzyme turn-over models for induction

Understanding the potential for cytochrome P450 (P450)-mediated drug-drug interactions is a critical part of the drug discovery process. Factors such as nonspecific binding, atypical kinetics, poor effector solubility, and varying ratios of accessory proteins may alter the kinetic behavior of

A series of omeprazole-based analogues was synthesized and assessed for inhibitory activity against CYP2C19. The data was used to build a CYP2C19 inhibition pharmacophore model for the series. The model was employed to design additional analogues with inhibitory potency against
