Human cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is the most important drug-metabolizing enzyme. Some drugs and natural compounds can act as suicide (mechanism-based) inactivators of CYP3A4, leading to unanticipated drug-drug interactions, toxicity and therapeutic failures. Despite significant clinical and toxicological implications, the mechanism-based inactivation remains incompletely understood. This study provides the first direct insights into the interaction of CYP3A4 with three suicide substrates: mibe ...[more]
