Simultaneous Analysis of Chlorzoxazone and its Metabolites
Ingested drugs are typically metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP). CYP is a superfamily of enzymes that convert foreign substances taken up in the body into a form(s) that can easily be excreted. There is a large number of CYP isoforms. Among these, nine isoforms (CYP1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, and 3A4) are involved in the metabolism of drugs in human. This sheet describes an analysis of chlorzoxazone 6-hydroxylation, which is a marker activity of CYP2E1.
* This reaction is one of the probe activities in human liver microsomes (HLM).
