  • a Human cDNA-expressed UGT1A1 in lymphoblast cells.

  • b UGT1A1: apparent Km = 4 μM and Vmax = 80 pmol/min mg protein in this set of experiments.

  • c UGT1A1: apparent Km = 2.8 μM and Vmax = 62 pmol/min mg protein in this set of experiments.

  • d A noncompetitive mechanism with a Ki = 100 μM was reported (Food and Drug Administration summary basis of approval, indinavir).

  • e For atazanavir, Css = 1.73 μM (400 mg q.i.d.); for indinavir, Css = 3.84 μM (Crixivan package insert, 800 mg t.i.d.); [bilirubin] = 6.84 μM.
