Abstract excerpt
Cynomolgus monkey cytochrome P450 2C9 (formerly known as P450 2C43) variation was reportedly associated with metabolic clearance of the antiretroviral drug efavirenz in vivo (in three wild-type, one heterozygote and two homozygote animals), being unlikely in the case of human P450 2B6-dependent efavirenz clearance. In this study, the liver microsomal elimination rates of efavirenz for the same individual animals...
