Abstract:EditorialA drug metabolism study is an important aspect of the early drug discovery and development process [1,2]. In order to improve the understanding of drug efficacy and safety characteristics, it is desirable to investigate the drug metabolism in animals or humans [3,4]. These metabolism studies involve metabolic stability, cytochrome P-450 (CYP-450) induction or inhibition and metabolite identification. As drugs are xenobiotics to living organisms, CYP-450 biotransform them to less toxic, less active and… Show more
