Abstract

Objective: Triamterene (TA), a potassium-sparing diuretic, is extensively metabolized by hydroxylation in 4?-position and subsequent conjugation by cytosolic sulfotransferases. To identify the cytochrome P450 enzyme(s) catalyzing hydroxylation of triamterene (the rate-limiting step in the formation of the sulfate ester (STA)), in vitro incubation studies were performed with human liver microsomes. Methods: Initial rates of TA hydroxylation (0 ? 300
