Abstract excerpt
The present study investigated the effect of cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) genetic polymorphism on the biotransformation of valproic acid (VPA) to its hepatotoxic metabolite, 4-ene-VPA, and compared that to the formation of the inactive 4-OH-VPA and 5-OH-VPA. cDNA-expressed CYP2C9(*)2 and CYP2C9(*)3 variants were less efficient than the CYP2C9(*)1 wild type in catalyzing the formation of these metabolites, as...
