TABLE 1

Structure of the flavonols and flavones and their mean Ki values (micromolar) as inhibitors of diclofenac 4′-hydroxylase activity in the CYP2C9 RECO system

Incubations performed using 0.3 pmol of RECO CYP2C9, 2.5 to 100 μM diclofenac, and a test compound with a concentration in the range 0 to approximately 6 times Ki. 4′-Hydroxydiclofenac/diclofenac was <1/20 in all assays. Global standard error for data fitting was less than 30% and γ2 > 0.90 for each effector.
