Time-dependent inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes has been observed for a few glucuronide metabolites of clinically used drugs. Here, we investigated the inhibitory potential of 16 glucuronide metabolites towards nine major CYP enzymes in vitro. Automated substrate cocktail methods were used to screen time-dependent inhibition of CYP1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2J2 and 3A in human liver microsomes. Seven glucuronides (carvedilol β-D-glucuronide, diclofenac acyl-β-D-glucuronide, 4-hydroxyduloxetine β-D-glucuronide, ezetimibe phenoxy-β-D-glucuronide, raloxifene 4'-glucuronide, repaglinide acyl-β-D-glucuronide and valproic acid β-D-glucuronide) caused NADPH- and time-dependent inhibition of at least one of the CYPs investigated, including CYP2A6, CYP2C19 and CYP3A...
