Bioactivation of Nevirapine to a Reactive Quinone Methide: Implications for Liver Injury
13 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
Nevirapine (NVP) treatment is associated with a significant incidence of liver injury. We developed an anti-NVP antiserum to determine the presence and pattern of covalent binding of NVP to mouse, rat, and human hepatic tissues. Covalent binding to hepatic microsomes from male C57BL/6 mice and male Brown Norway rats was detected on Western blots; the major protein had a mass of ~55 kDa. Incubation of NVP with rat...
