TABLE 2

The inhibition of SKF525A metabolism by P450 isoform-selective inhibitors SKF525A (100 μM) was incubated in the presence and absence of an isoform-selective inhibitor with NADPH-fortified human liver microsomes (a 1 mg/ml mix of six commercial preparations) for 15 min. The results are the mean of two independent incubations with the superscript indicating the ±range (to the nearest integer).
