  • aVmax units are pmol/min/mg for human liver microsome and pmol/min/pmol P450 for heterologously expressed individual P4503A4.

  • bClint units are µL/min/mg for human liver microsome and µl/min/pmol P450 for heterologously expressed individual P4503A4; midazolam fumic = 1 for both human liver microsome and heterologously expressed individual P4503A4.

  • cData fit to substrate inhibition model, resulting substrate inhibition (Ki) values were > 100 µM (3 times the highest substrate concentration tested).
