Inhibitory effects of GFZ (IC50, μM) and ketoconazole (percentage of inhibition at 1 μM concentration) on glucuronidation and oxidation of statins in human liver microsomes

GemfibrozilKetoconazole
IC50Inhibition

SVAGlucuronidation354
Oxidation>800>85
AVAGlucuronidation316
Oxidation>750>90
CVAGlucuronidation82
Oxidation (M1)8768
Oxidation (M2)220∼50

Incubations were performed in triplicate for each concentration of inhibitors, and involved coincubation of GFZ or ketoconazole with statins (10 μM) in the presence of NADPH (oxidation) or UDPGA (glucuronidation).
