form-selective inhibition by drugs or drug candidates. This analysis is accomplished through
the study of the inhibition of the metabolism of a model substrate by the drug or drug
candidate. Through these analyses, apparent K i values can be obtained and compared to K
i values for known, clinically significant inhibitors of the same enzyme. A coenzyme,
cytochrome P450 NADPH oxidoreductase (OR), is essential for P450 catalytic function, and …
