The effect of ageing on CYP3A2, a male specific isoform, was examined in adult (9 months) and senescent (24 months) male rats. A significant decrease (65%) of CYP3A2-related activity (midazolam oxidation) was observed in all senescent rats. Half of these

Midazolam (MDZ) is metabolized in human liver microsomes by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A subfamily to 1'-hydroxy (1'-OH) and 4-hydroxy (4-OH) metabolites. MDZ is metabolized in the rat primarily to 4-OH MDZ, 1'-OH MDZ, and 1',4-dihydroxy (1',4-diOH) MDZ. The kinetics

A method for the quantitation of midazolam and its metabolites 1-hydroxymidazolam and 4-hydroxymidazolam from human serum capable of monitoring concentrations achieved under therapeutic conditions is presented. The substances were extracted under basic conditions with toluene and the hydroxy metabolites transformed
Rapid communications in mass spectrometry : RCM, 16(17), 1613-1621 (2002-08-31)
Ultrafast liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) bioanalysis was demonstrated with the use of packed silica columns operated under elevated flow rates. A special effort has been made to achieve ultrafast analysis without sacrificing chromatographic resolution. Two multiple analyte/metabolites assays, (1)

Midazolam (MDZ), a short-acting benzodiazepine, is a widely accepted probe drug for CYP3A phenotyping. Published methods for its analysis have used either therapeutic doses of MDZ, or, if employing lower doses, were mostly unable to quantify the two hydroxy metabolites.
