Reaction velocities were measured as described in Experimental Procedures. Kinetic parameters were determined by fitting reaction velocity versus substrate concentration data to the Michaelis-Menten equation. In the case of dog, the data was fit to a sum equation of two Michaelis-Menten terms.

  • 1-a  Two KMvalues were determined for dog ezlopitant metabolism and CJ-12,764 formation.
