Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome P450 2C8 (CYP2C8) is one of the enzymes primarily responsible for the metabolism of many drugs, including paclitaxel and amodiaquine. CYP2C8 genetic variants contribute to interindividual variations in the therapeutic efficacy and toxicity of paclitaxel. Although it is difficult to investigate the enzymatic function of most CYP2C8 variants in vivo, this can be investigated in vitro using recombinant...
