1 Dexamethasone (DEX) is extensively metabolized to 6-hydroxyDEX (6OH-DEX) and side-chain cleaved metabolites in human liver both in vitro and in vivo with CYP3A4 responsible for the formation of 6-hydroxylated products. Dexamethasone cytochrome P450 family 3 subfamily A member 4 Homo sapiens
2 Dexamethasone (DEX) is extensively metabolized to 6-hydroxyDEX (6OH-DEX) and side-chain cleaved metabolites in human liver both in vitro and in vivo with CYP3A4 responsible for the formation of 6-hydroxylated products. Dexamethasone cytochrome P450 family 3 subfamily A member 4 Homo sapiens
3 However, 6-hydroxylation was most extensive in the hamster which may therefore be a suitable model to use for further studies on DEX metabolism by CYP3A. Dexamethasone cytochrome P450 family 3 subfamily A member 4 Homo sapiens
