1 Pharmacokinetic interaction between oral lovastatin and verapamil in healthy subjects: role of P-glycoprotein inhibition by lovastatin. Lovastatin ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 Homo sapiens
2 BACKGROUND: Lovastatin is an inhibitor of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and is metabolized by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 isoenzyme. Lovastatin ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 Homo sapiens
3 BACKGROUND: Lovastatin is an inhibitor of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and is metabolized by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 isoenzyme. Lovastatin ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 Homo sapiens
4 CONCLUSION: Lovastatin increased the absorption of verapamil by inhibiting P-gp and inhibited the first-pass metabolism of verapamil by inhibiting CYP3A4 in the intestine and/or liver in humans. Lovastatin ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 Homo sapiens
