Irreversible enzyme inhibition kinetics and drug-drug interactions

Methods Mol Biol. 2014:1113:57-91. doi: 10.1007/978-1-62703-758-7_5.

Abstract

This chapter describes the types of irreversible inhibition of drug-metabolizing enzymes and the methods commonly employed to quantify the irreversible inhibition and subsequently predict the extent and time course of clinically important drug-drug interactions.
