Human cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes exhibit remarkable diversity in their substrate specificities, participating in oxidation reactions of a wide range of xenobiotic drugs. Previously, we reported that alpha-naphthoflavone (ANF) is bound to the recombinant P450 1A2 tightly and stabilizes an overall

## Abstract The inhibitory effects of flavonoids on the human cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) were examined. Among flavonoids tested, galangin, kaempferol, chrysin, and apigenin were potent inhibitors. Although apigenin belonging to flavones and genistein belonging to isoflavones are similar in the ch
Chlormethiazole is a sedative and anticonvulsive drug used in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal. Because it had been reported that chlormethiazole inhibits the alcohol-inducible cytochrome P450 2E1 in rat liver, we investigated the in vivo and in vitro effect of this drug on cytochrome P450 2E1 in
