A, the formation rate of E-3174 from losartan (0.5 μM) in liver microsomes from subjects of different CYP2C9 genotypes. Experiments were carried out in the absence of P450 inhibitors. B,Km (μM) and Vmax (pmol/mg of protein/min) of E-3174 formation from losartan in human liver microsomes with different CYP2C9 genotypes in the presence of the specific CYP3A4 inhibitor TAO (10 μM).
