Abstract excerpt
CYP2B6 is a highly inducible and polymorphic enzyme involved in the metabolism of an increasing number of clinically important drugs. Significant interindividual variability in CYP2B6 expression has been attributed to either genetic polymorphisms or chemical-mediated induction through the activation of constitutive androstane receptor and/or pregnane X receptor (PXR). It was reported that the -82T→C substitution...
