Assay System: 

  • Plated cryopreserved human hepatocytes from 3 individual donors.
  • Induction of CYP1A2, CYP2B6 and CYP3A4 by test compound measured by comparing enzyme activity of hepatocytes treated with test compound with vehicle control.

Percent Organic Solvent – Inducer Treatment0.1% DMSO
Percent Organic Solvent – Substrate Incubation1.5% acetonitrile
Inducer Treatment Time48 hours
Substrate Incubation Time30 minutes
pH7.4
Treatment and Incubation Conditions37 °C, 5% CO2, and saturating humidity
Positive ControlOmeprazole (1A2), Phenobarbital (2B6), and Rifampicin (3A4)
AnalysisLC-MS/MS
Number of Repeats3

Deliverable: Mean fold induction of test compound and positive control compound.

Test Compound Requirement: 2-3 mg dry powder or 100-200 µL of 30 mM DMSO stock solution.
