The effect of probenecid on glucuronidation of acetaminophen and lorazepam in hepatic microsomes from various species was studied to see if in vitro results were consistent with previous in vivo observations. Mouse, rat, and human microsomes were incubated with acetaminophen and probenecid while mon

โฆ Synopsis
The effects of probenecid and paracetamol on zidovudine glucuronidation were investigated, in vitro, using human liver microsomal preparations. The presence of probenecid in the incubation medium significantly reduced the maximum reaction velocity for zidovudine glucuronide formation by more than 60 per cent, and the K, was reduced by 47 per cent, suggesting an uncompetitive inhibition of zidovudine glucuronidation. In contrast, paracetamol had no significant effect on zidovudine glucuronidation. The maximum reaction velocity for zidovudine glucuronide formation and the K, were unchanged when paracetamol (5 mM) was present in the incubation medium. The effects of probenecid and paracetamol on zidovudine metabolism in vitro correlates closely with those observed in vivo. The in vitro system of human liver microsomes may have a useful role in predicting the possible interaction of other drugs with zidovudine metabolism.
