A comparison of the metabolism of midazolam in C57BL/6J and hepatic reductase null (HRN) mice.

Biochem. Pharmacol. 92(4) , 701-11, (2014)

The hepatic cytochrome P450 reductase null (HRN) mouse, which has no functional hepatic Cyp P450s, may represent a useful model for examining extra-hepatic P450-related oxidative metabolism. Here the pharmacokinetics and metabolic fate of midazolam, a drug kn...

Systematic evaluation of commercially available ultra-high performance liquid chromatography columns for drug metabolite profiling: optimization of chromatographic peak capacity.

J. Chromatogr. A. 1374 , 122-33, (2014)

The present study investigated the practical use of modern ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) separation techniques for drug metabolite profiling, aiming to develop a widely applicable, high-throughput, easy-to-use chromatographic method, wi...

Species differences and substrate specificity of CYP3A heteroactivation by efavirenz.

Xenobiotica 45(4) , 345-52, (2015)

1. The purpose of this study was to clarify species differences in the heteroactivation of CYP3A substrates by efavirenz, which is known from clinical studies to activate midazolam 1'-hydroxylation, and to assess the feasibility of an animal model. 2. In monk...

Development of Murine Cyp3a Knockout Chimeric Mice with Humanized Liver.

Drug Metab. Dispos. 43 , 1208-17, (2015)

We developed murine CYP3A knockout ko chimeric mice with humanized liver expressing human P450S similar to those in humans and whose livers and small intestines do not express murine CYP3A this: approach may overcome effects of residual mouse metabolic enzyme...

A highly sensitive liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method for simultaneous quantification of midazolam, 1'-hydroxymidazolam and 4-hydroxymidazolam in human plasma.

Biomed. Chromatogr. 25(10) , 1091-8, (2011)

A highly sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the simultaneous quantification of midazolam and its major metabolites 1'-hydroxymidazolam and 4-hydroxymidazolam in human plasma was developed and validated. Stable isotope-labeled ...

Inhibition and kinetics of cytochrome P4503A activity in microsomes from rat, human, and cdna-expressed human cytochrome P450.

Drug Metab. Dispos. 24(9) , 940-7, (1996)

Midazolam (MDZ) is metabolized in human liver microsomes by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A subfamily to 1'-hydroxy (1'-OH) and 4-hydroxy (4-OH) metabolites. MDZ is metabolized in the rat primarily to 4-OH MDZ, 1'-OH MDZ, and 1',4-dihydroxy (1',4-diOH) MDZ. The ...

Evidence of CYP3A allosterism in vivo: analysis of interaction between fluconazole and midazolam.

Clin. Pharmacol. Ther. 91(3) , 442-9, (2012)

The allosteric effect of fluconazole (effector) on the formation of 1'-hydroxymidazolam (1'-OH-MDZ) and 4-hydroxymidazolam (4-OH-MDZ) from midazolam (MDZ), a substrate of CYP3A4/5--members of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes--was examined in healthy...
