1 We used primary cultures of human hepatocytes from 15 subjects to assess the inducibility of CYP2C enzyme expression by prototypical inducer agents, including rifampicin, dexamethasone, and phenobarbital. Phenobarbital cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily C member 19 Homo sapiens
2 Phenobarbital (100 microM) was a powerful inducer of CYP2C9 (850%) and CYP2C19 (735%) mRNA content, and also increased CYP2C8 (610%) and CYP3A4 (205%) transcripts. Phenobarbital cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily C member 19 Homo sapiens
3 Our results show that CYP2C enzyme expression in human hepatocytes is highly inducible by rifampicin, dexamethasone, and phenobarbital. Phenobarbital cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily C member 19 Homo sapiens
