  • 1-a  Diclofenac and glutathione in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) and quinidine or its analogs in methanol were added to human liver microsomes or recombinant CYP3A4+OR+b5 suspended in phosphate buffer (0.1 M, pH 7.4) containing EDTA. Controls contained no quinidine but the same amount of methanol. Incubations were performed in duplicate.

  • 1-b  HLM, human liver microsomes.

  • 1-c  % Control was based on the formation of 5-hydroxydiclofenac in test incubations relative to the values in control experiments that lacked quinidine.

  • 1-d  N.D., not determined.
