1. Computational Modelling of Structures and Ligands of CYP2C9
Abstract : CYP2C9 is one of our major drug metabolising enzymes and belongs to the cytochrome P450 (CYP) super family. The aim of this thesis was to gain an understanding of the quantitative structure–activity relationships (QSAR) of CYP2C9 substrates and inhibitors. READ MORE

2. Xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes and enzymes involved in the metabolism of reactive oxygen species in the porcine ovary : subcellular distributions and levels of expression during follicular maturation and in the non-pregnant and pregnant corpus luteum
Abstract : The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) is metabolized by both porcine ovarian microsomes and mitochondria, with the highest activity being seen in the corpus luteum. Microsomal DMBA monooxygenase activity is inhibited by inhibitors of the CYP450 system and by 17-bestradiol, thus indicating involvement of CYP1B1. READ MORE

3. Clinical studies of CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein
Abstract : In the field of pharmacokinetics, cytochrome P450 enzymes have been extensively studied. The CYP450 enzyme with the most drug substrates is CYP3A4, but despite its significance, administration of a specific substrate to subjects is required to determine its activity, by measuring the metabolic ratio.

4. Characterization of parameters influencing intracellular bioavailability and prediction of intracellular drug exposure
Abstract : This thesis work investigates factors influencing intracellular drug disposition. An experimental method for measurement of intracellular bioavailability (Fic), was used throughout. Fic is defined as the ratio between the unbound drug concentration inside the cell and the compound concentration in the cell exterior. READ MORE

5. Genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors of importance for CYP1A2 catalyzed drug metabolism
Abstract : The heme containing cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes participate in the phase I metabolism of drugs and other xenobiotics as well as endogenous substrates. CYP1A2 is one of the major CYP450 enzymes and account for about 13% of the total CYP450 content in the liver and is responsible for the metabolism of several clinically used drugs, e. READ MORE
