TABLE 2

Correlation between rate of formation for clindamycin sulfoxide and standard cytochrome P450 enzyme-specific activities in a panel of human liver microsomal preparations Clindamycin (50 μM) was incubated with human liver microsomes from 12 individual donors (0.3 mg/ml), in triplicate. Activities were normalized to P450 content and correlated with enzyme-specific marker activities [CYP1A2/ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase; CYP2C9/tolbutamide-4-hydroxylase; CYP2C19 (S)-mephenytoin 4′-hydroxylase; CYP2E1/chlorzoxazone 6-hydroxylase; CYP2D6/dextromethorphan O-demethylation; CYP3A4/testosterone 6β-hydroxylase] using standard methods as described under Materials and Methods.
