TABLE 3

Ebastine hydroxylation and carebastine formation activities by recombinant P450 4F enzymes and liver and intestine microsomes from marmosets, cynomolgus monkeys, and humans

Catalytic activities were measured at the substrate concentration of 100 μM for ebastine hydroxylation. All data represent means ± S.D. of triplicate determination.
