Metabolic pathway of the nitrosoureas catalyzed by cytochrome P-450 and NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase [PDF]
Three highly purified forms of cytochrome P-450 (P-450a, P-450b, P-450c) from Aroclor 1254-induced rat hepatic microsomes catalyzed the monooxygenation of 1-(2- chloroethyl)-3-(trans-4-methylcyclohexyl)-1-nitrosourea (MeCCNU) and 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3 ...

Integrated assessment of rifampicin-mediated induction of transporters and drug-metabolizing enzymes in a long-term human liver tissue chip system. [PDF]
Rifampicin is a prototypical clinical inducer used in drug–drug interaction (DDI) studies. However, the clinical relevance and predictability of rifampicin‐mediated hepatic transporter induction remain poorly defined. Conventional hepatocyte culture models fail to capture clinically relevant regulation of transporters and drug‐metabolizing enzymes ...

Drug-induced liver toxicity and prevention by herbal antioxidants: an overview
The liver is the center for drug and xenobiotic metabolism, which is influenced most with medication/xenobiotic-mediated toxic activity. Drug-induced hepatotoxicity is common and its actual frequency is hard to determine due to underreporting ...
