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

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

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

Midazolam is a widely accepted probe for phenotyping cytochrome P4503A. A gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)-negative chemical ionization method is presented which allows measuring very low levels of midazolam (MID), 1-OH midazolam (1OHMID) and 4-OH midazolam (4OHMID), in plasma, after derivatization
