| Description: | The potencies of the compounds as inhibitors of human hepatic cytochromes P450 of the CYP3A subfamily (particularly CYP3A4) were assessed using well-characterized selective activities: midazolam 1'-hydroxylase (Kronbach, T., et al. Mol. Pharmacol. 36, 89-96 [1989]) and testosterone 6beta -hydroxylase (Waxman, D. J., et al. Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 263, 424-436, [1988]). For midazolam hydroxylase determination the final concentrations of microsomal protein and terfenadine substrate were 0.25 mg/mL and 2.5 uM, respectively, and the LC-MS internal standard was 1alpha -hydroxytriazolam. For testosterone hydroxylase activity the final microsomal protein concentration was 0.5 mg/mL, the substrate concentration was 50 uM and the LC-MS internal standard was D7-labeled 6beta -hydroxytestosterone. After incubation at 37 C. for 5 minutes, metabolic reactions were terminated by treatment with quench solution containing the appropriate internal standard. |
