TABLE 1

Estimated kinetic parameters for dextromethorphan O- and N-demethylation catalyzed by CYP2D6, HT-CYP2D6, HT-Cyp2d22, and CYP3A4 isozymes

Each data point used to calculate kinetic constants was based on an average of duplicate determinations. Enzyme Michaelis-Menten parameters and error estimates thereof were generated by nonlinear regression analysis (GraphPad Prism 3.02).
