Abstract excerpt
Candesartan cilexetil is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, and candesartan, its active metabolite, is metabolized by CYP2C9. However, the effect of CYP2C9*3 on candesartan metabolism is not established. We characterized the kinetics of candesartan by CYP2C9*1/*1 and CYP2C9*1/*3 in human liver microsomes. The difference between the two was not significant. Subsequently, CYP2C9*1 and CYP2C9*3 (Leu359) were...
