Many of the mAbs to P450 2C8, 2C9, and 2C19 are specific and exhibit potent inhibitory activity (85–95%). mAb 281-1-1 specifically binds, immunoblots, and strongly inhibits the activity of P450 2C8. mAb 763-15-5 specifically binds and strongly inhibits the activity of P450 2C9. mAb 1-7-4-8 specifically binds and strongly inhibits the activity of P450 2C19. The other mAbs bind and inhibit sets and subsets of the P450 2C family. The single and the combinatorial use of the mAbs can “reaction phenotype”, i.e., determine the metabolic contribution and interindividual variation of a P450 isoform for the metabolism of a drug or nondrug xenobiotic in human liver microsomes. The utility of the mAb-based analytic system was examined with the model substrates Taxol (paclitaxel), diazepam, tolbutamide, diclofenac, mephenytoin, and imipramine. The mAb system can identify drugs metabolized by a common P450 or several P450s and polymorphic P450s. The mAb system identifies drugs or drug metabolic pathways that are catalyzed by a single P450 and thus may be used for in vivo phenotyping. The mAb system can identify whether a particular drug is metabolized by a single P450 that may exhibit polymorphic expression in humans. The mAb system offers large potential for studies of cytochrome P450 function useful in drug discovery and reduces the possibility of adverse drug reactions due to polymorphisms and drug interactions.
