Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To determine the influence of cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) genotype on the rate of oxidative efavirenz metabolism in human liver microsomes. MATERIALS & METHODS: Formation rates of 8-hydroxyefavirenz, 7-hydroxyefavirenz and 8,14-dihydroxyefavirenz were determined in vitro with efavirenz as a substrate (10 microM) in a large panel of human liver microsomes (n = 87) that were genotyped for variants of...
