Application

(+)-N-3-Benzylnirvanol may be used as a cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) inhibitor in a comparison study to treat cocktail and individual substrates for the screening for potent cytochrome P450 (CYP) inhibition. It may also be used in comparative studies to investigate its potential as CYP and non-CYP selective inhibitors of CYP2C19 in suspended human hepatocytes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

(+)-N-3-Benzyl-nirvanol is a potent selective CYP2C19 inhibitor. CYP2C19 has a high frequency of drug resistance; highly polymorphic.
(+)-N-3-Benzylnirvanol serves as an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6).

The hypothesis that the psychological side effects associated with the anesthetic phencyclidine (PCP) may be caused by irreversible binding of PCP or its reactive metabolite(s) to critical macromolecules in the brain has resulted in numerous in vitro studies aimed at

1. A protocol has been developed and validated for the high-throughput screening of eight major human cytochrome P450 (CYP) isozymes inhibition (CYP 1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 3A4, 2B6, 2C8 and 2E1) using an in vitro probe cocktail containing eight substrates

Early assessment of metabolism pathways of new chemical entities guides the understanding of drug-drug interactions. Selective enzyme inhibitors are indispensable in CYP reaction phenotyping. The most commonly applied CYP2C19 inhibitor, omeprazole, lacks selectivity. Two promising alternatives, (+)-N-3-benzylnirvanol and (-)-N-3-benzylphenobarbital, are

Biochemical pharmacology, 170, 113661-113661 (2019-10-13)
Terbinafine N-dealkylation pathways result in formation of 6,6-dimethyl-2-hepten-4-ynal (TBF-A), a reactive allylic aldehyde, that may initiate idiosyncratic drug-induced liver toxicity. Previously, we reported on the importance of CYP2C19 and 3A4 as major contributors to TBF-A formation. In this study, we
