  • N.D., not determined

  • a Except for midazolam, substrates were chosen for their selective turnover to specific metabolites as assessed by a panel of recombinant canine P450s (Shou et al., 2003; Lu et al., 2005)

  • b ± represents the error of the parameter estimate derived from nonlinear regression

  • c Rate of metabolite formed per mole of recombinant P450 versus the amount formed by the isoform producing the second highest amount of metabolite

  • d Transition monitored in triple quadrupole mass spectrometer using positive ionization
