Effect of phosphate concentration on diazepam turnover by CYP2C19R Bactosomes:
Diazepam N-demethylase activity is inhibited at phosphate concentrations above 100 mM.

This assay was carried out at 12.5 µM diazepam at a P450 concentration of 1.25 pmol per 200 µl.

Effect of phosphate concentration on S-mephenytoin turnover by CYP2C19R Bactosomes:

S-mephenytoin 4′-hydroxylase activity is inhibited at phosphate concentrations above 100 mM.

This assay was carried out at 30 µM S-mephenytoin at a P450 concentration of 10 pmol per 200 µl.

Effect of phosphate concentration on S-mephenytoin turnover by CYP2C19LR Bactosomes:

S-mephenytoin 4′-hydroxylase activity is inhibited at phosphate concentrations above 100 mM.

This assay was carried out at 30 µM S-mephenytoin at a P450 concentration of 25 pmol per 200 µl.
