Query String: sarpogrelate

Inhibition of Dextromethorphan Metabolism Dextromethorphan O-demethylase activity was determined in human liver microsomes. Sarpogrelate (1.0E-8 M to 3.0E-5 M) or M−1 (concentration: 3.0E-9 M to 1.0E-5 M) and dextromethorphan were dissolved in acetonitrile and serially diluted with acetonitrile to the required concentrations to give a final organic solvent concentration of 1.0% in the incubation mixture. The incubation mixtures contained pooled human liver microsomes (final concentrations: 0.25 mg/ml), dextromethorphan, and a NADPH-generating system (1.3 mM NADP+, 3.3 mM glucose 6-phosphate, 3.3 mM MgCl2, and 0.4 U/ml glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase). After incubation and centrifugation, the supernatant was diluted 100-fold with acetonitrile and then injected into the LC-MS/MS system. All incubations were performed in triplicate, and mean values were used for analysis. The IC50 values (concentration causing a half-maximal inhibition of control specific binding) and Hill coefficients (nH) were determined by non-linear regression analysis of the competition curves generated with mean replicate values using Hill equation curve fitting.
