Tienilic Acid (Ticrynafen) is a P450 inhibitor, a specific suicide substrate for CYP2C9 and CYP2C10. It was once used as a loop diuretic drug with uric acid-lowering (uricosuric) actvity, but was removed from market because of hepatotoxicity.

The uricosuric diuretic agent tienilic acid (TA) is a thiophene-containing compound that is metabolized by P450 2C9 to 5-OH-TA. A reactive metabolite of TA also forms a covalent adduct to P450 2C9 that inactivates the enzyme and initiates immune-mediated hepatic
The utility of HepG2 cells to assess drug metabolism and toxicity induced by chemical compounds is hampered by their low cytochrome P450 (CYP) activities. To overcome this limitation, we established HepG2 cell lines expressing major CYP enzymes involved in drug

Tienilic acid (TA) is a uricosuric diuretic that was withdrawn from the market only months after its introduction because of reports of serious incidents of drug-induced liver injury including some fatalities. Its hepatotoxicity is considered to be primarily immunoallergic in
Purified recombinant human liver cytochrome P450 2C9 was produced, from expression of the corresponding cDNA in yeast, in quantities large enough for UV-visible and 1H NMR experiments. Its interaction with several substrates (tienilic acid and two derivatives, lauric acid and
