TABLE 4

Inhibition of the formation of irosustat metabolites in incubations with HLM in the presence of P450-selective chemical inhibitors

Results are expressed as percentage of inhibition relative to control incubations (without inhibitor) and are the mean values from duplicate incubations except for CYP2C19 which were triplicate incubations. Bold numbers represent >20% inhibition.
