Abstract excerpt
1. Nilotinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, could potently inhibit SN-38 glucuronidation mainly catalyzed by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1. This study was designed to investigate whether nilotinib can be used as a selective inhibitor of UGT1A1 in human liver. 2. Assays with recombinant UGTs indicated that nilotinib could strongly inhibit the activity of UGT1A1 and decreased the activity of extra-hepatic...
