Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

D5 appears to inhibit rat CYP2B1/2 in a manner that does not conform to prototypical  types of inhibition; this inhibition increases significantly with an increase in marker substrate concentration. D5 also appears to be a weak competitive inhibitor of human  CYP3A4/5 and a strong metabolism-dependent inhibitor of human CYP3A4/5.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In an in vitro study that investigated whether D5 is a potential inhibitor of human and rat cytochrome P450 enzymes it was found that D5 appears to inhibit rat CYP2B1/2 in a manner that does not conform to prototypical  types of inhibition; this inhibition increases significantly with an increase in marker substrate concentration. D5 also appears to be a weak competitive inhibitor of human  CYP3A4/5 and a strong metabolism-dependent inhibitor of human CYP3A4/5.
