  • 2-a  Reaction monitored in product formation experiments. Tacrine 2- and 4′-hydroxylation was also observed but product formed was less than the lower limit of quantitation. Midazolam 4-hydroxylation was also observed with aKM of 15 μM.

  • 2-b  Product formationKM values represent the mean of three determinations, substrate depletion the average of two determinations.
