Human Constitutive Androstane Receptor Mediates Induction of CYP2B6 Gene Expression by Phenytoin
1 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
Compared with its rodent orthologs, little is known about the chemical specificity of human constitutive androstane receptor (hCAR) and its regulation of hepatic enzyme expression. Phenytoin (PHY), a widely used antiepileptic drug, is a potent inducer of CYP2B6 in primary human hepatocytes, but does not activate human pregnane X receptor (PXR) significantly in cell-based transfection assays at the same...
