The biotransformation of midazolam is mediated by a cytochrome P-450 isozyme (P-450 IIIA) whose activity is highly variable. The kinetics of the 1'- and 4-hydroxylation of midazolam, the major routes of midazolam oxidation, by human liver microsomes have been examined

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

Human cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is the most abundant hepatic and intestinal phase I drug-metabolizing enzyme, and participates in the oxidative metabolism of approximately 50% of drugs on the market. In the present study, a transgenic-CYP3A4 (Tg-CYP3A4) mouse model that
