We determined whether the drug efflux protein P-glycoprotein (Pgp) could influence the extent of CYP3A-mediated metabolism of erythromycin, a widely used model substrate for CYP3A. We compared CYP3A metabolism of erythromycin (a Pgp substrate) using the erythromycin breath test in mice proficient and deficient of mdr1 drug transporters. We first injected mdr1(+/+) mice with [(14)C]N-methyl erythromycin and...
