## Abstract The metabolism of the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug flobufen, 4‐(2′,4′‐difluorobiphenyl‐4‐yl)‐2‐methyl‐4‐oxobutanoic acid, was studied in primary cultures of human hepatocytes prepared by two‐step collagenase perfusion of livers from four donors. Racemic flobufen or its individual
Isolated hepatocyte cultures have become a frequently used model system for investigating drug metabolism. Although rat and hamster hepatocytes are frequently used for this purpose, metabolism in these species differs in many respects from human metabolism. A species with a metabolism more closely r
The effect of recombinant human hepatocyte growth factor (h-rHGF), a potent mitogen for hepatocytes, was investigated in primary cultures of human hepatocytes. Here, we describe a series of experiments to investigate the kinetics of its mitogenic action, as well as its metabolic effects on cultured
