Pioglitazone is Metabolised by CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 in vitro: Potential for Interactions with CYP2C8 Inhibitors [PDF]
Abstract: Our objective was to identify the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes that metabolise pioglitazone and to examine the effects of the CYP2C8 inhibitors montelukast, zafirlukast, trimethoprim and gemfibrozil on pioglitazone metabolism in vitro. The effect of different CYP isoform inhibitors on the elimination of a clinically relevant concentration of
