Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Glyburide (INN, glibenclamide) is a second-generation sulfonylurea antidiabetic agent with high potency. We hypothesized that glyburide may be a substrate of cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9), an enzyme that has two low-activity amino acid variants-Arg144Cys (CYP2C9*2) and Ile359Leu (CYP2C...
