CYP enzyme-selective compounds were used to study their inhibitory effects on the oxidation of linezolid (100 μM) in human liver microsomes. The P-450 selective inhibitors substrates used in this experiment were: 50 μM α-naphthoflavone (CYP1A2, Chang et al., 1994); 50 μM coumarin (CYP2A6, Pearce et al., 1992); 50 μM orphenadrine (CYP2B6, Stevens et al., 1997); 50 μM retinoic acid (CYP2C8, Yamazaki and Shimada, 1999); 10 μM sulfaphenazole (CYP2C9,Newton et al., 1995); 250 μM (S)-mephenytoin (CYP2C19,Wrighton et al., 1993); 5 μM quinidine (CYP2D6, Guengerich et al., 1986); 100 μM para-nitrophenol (CYP2E1, Tassaneeyakul et al., 1993); 5 μM ketoconazole (CYP3A4, Gibbs et al., 1999); 50 μM lauric acid (CYP4A11, Clarke et al., 1994). Incubation conditions were carried out as described under Experimental Procedures. Each data point represents the mean (±S.D.) of triplicate determinations.
