The role of cytochrome P450 in developmental pharmacology.

Abstract excerpt

Numerous sources of human heterogeneity affect biotransformation of compounds. Cytochrome P450, the primary oxidative pathway of drug metabolism, is the dominant phase I oxidative system metabolizing, to some degree, most of the drugs used clinically in humans. The P450 pathway is a major site of drug-drug, drug-diet, and drug-disease/condition interactions. Functional variability in this system can have...
