1 Chlormethiazole inhibition of cytochrome P450 2E1 as assessed by chlorzoxazone hydroxylation in humans. Chlormethiazole cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily E member 1 Homo sapiens
2 Because it had been reported that chlormethiazole inhibits the alcohol-inducible cytochrome P450 2E1 in rat liver, we investigated the in vivo and in vitro effect of this drug on cytochrome P450 2E1 in human beings. Chlormethiazole cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily E member 1 Homo sapiens
3 In addition, the effect of chlormethiazole on cytochrome P450 2E1 was studied in vitro using human liver microsomes. Chlormethiazole cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily E member 1 Homo sapiens
4 These data clearly show that chlormethiazole is an efficient inhibitor of chlorzoxazone metabolism and thus of cytochrome P450 2E1 activity in human beings. Chlormethiazole cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily E member 1 Homo sapiens
5 Because cytochrome P450 2E1 induction after chronic ethanol consumption has detrimental effects on the liver through free radical formation, treatment of alcohol detoxification with chlormethiazole may be beneficial. Chlormethiazole cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily E member 1 Homo sapiens
