Zusammenfassung:This invention relates to a method for evaluating the susceptibility of pharmaceutical drugs to metabolism by a specific cytochrome P-450 isozyme. which comprises contacting the sample compound with a reagent composition prepared by adding the specific cytochrome P-450 isozyme to liver microsomes lacking said specific cytochrome P-450 isozyme in a carrier material. More particularly, this invention relates to a useful in vitro quantitative assay for drug metabolism by P-450 isozymes such as CYP2D6, CYP2C19, and CYP2A6. This invention also relates to a reagent composition which is useful for said in vitro assay.
