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

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

Biochemical pharmacology, 47(9), 1643-1653 (1994-04-29)
The capabilities of cytochrome P4503A4 (CYP3A4), CYP3A5, and fetal hepatic microsomes containing CYP3A7 to metabolize midazolam were investigated using human hepatic microsomes and purified CYP3A4 and CYP3A5. Under initial rate conditions and high substrate concentration (400 microM midazolam), variability among

A high-performance liquid chromatographic assay coupled with UV detection (254 nm) has been developed for the determination of midazolam and two of its hydroxylated metabolites, 1-hydroxymidazolam (1-OH) and 4-hydroxymidazolam (4-OH), in human plasma. Following a novel solid-phase extraction procedure, midazolam

Drug metabolism and disposition: the biological fate of chemicals, 31(5), 548-558 (2003-04-16)
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
