  • Microsomal protein (0.5 mg/ml) from the donors shown was incubated with delavirdine (40 μM) in the presence of quinidine at the concentrations shown. Reaction was allowed to proceed for 5 min, followed by assay of desalkyl delavirdine. Values are mean of duplicate determinations.

  • 3-a Rates are pmol/min/mg protein.

  • 3-b Values in parentheses represent percentage of control (no quinidine).
