Investigation of the role of CYP1A2 in irosustat metabolism

Formation of irosustat metabolites in incubations with native and CYP1A2-fortified HLM. Results are expressed as percentage of inhibition for each separate metabolite and are the mean values from duplicate incubations. Inhibitors: FU, 1 μM furafylline; MIX, 10 μM quercetin + 2 μM sulfaphenazole + 20 μM tranylcypromine + 0.5 μM ketoconazole. Microsomal protein concentration: 1 mg/ml ± 20 pmol/ml recombinant human CYP1A2. Incubation time: 15-min preincubation ± furafylline followed by 40-min incubation, Irosustat concentration: 50 μM. Bold numbers represent percentage of inhibition >20%. Italic values represent high variability for M11 because peak areas were close to the limit of detection.
