1 Ritonavir (RTV) is well known as an inhibitor of many drugs that are metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A or fluxed via P-glycoprotein (Pgp), although it is also reported that RTV is a potent inducer for them. Ritonavir cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily a, polypeptide 62 Rattus norvegicus
2 Ritonavir (RTV) is well known as an inhibitor of many drugs that are metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A or fluxed via P-glycoprotein (Pgp), although it is also reported that RTV is a potent inducer for them. Ritonavir cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily a, polypeptide 62 Rattus norvegicus
3 Ritonavir (RTV) is well known as an inhibitor of many drugs that are metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A or fluxed via P-glycoprotein (Pgp), although it is also reported that RTV is a potent inducer for them. Ritonavir cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily a, polypeptide 62 Rattus norvegicus
4 In this study, to elucidate these contradictory phenomena, functional changes of CYP3A or Pgp during chronic administration of RTV were examined in rats. Ritonavir cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily a, polypeptide 62 Rattus norvegicus
5 It has been confirmed that RTV is not only a potent inhibitor but also a potent inducer of CYP3A, and that RTV is a potent inducer of intestinal Pgp. Ritonavir cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily a, polypeptide 62 Rattus norvegicus
