Abstract excerpt
Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is associated with idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury, which remains difficult to predict. SMX is metabolized by N-acetyltransferases (NAT1/NAT2) to form N4-acetyl sulfamethoxazole (NA-SMX), and by cytochrome P450-mediated oxidation to form SMX-hydroxylamine. This study aimed to characterize SMX metabolism in vitro and investigate how NAT1 and NAT2 variation influences NA-SMX...
