The study aimed to investigate the effect of BIRT 2584 XX and its metabolite BI 610100 on
the Pharmacokinetics (PK) of five probe substrates for cytochrome P450 isozymes.
The substrates used to monitor enzyme activity were oral warfarin (for CYP2C9), oral
omeprazole (for CYP2C19), oral dextromethorphan (for CYP2D6), oral caffeine (for CYP1A2) and
intravenous midazolam (for hepatic CYP3A)
AUC0-tz (Area under the concentration-time curve of the S-warfarin, omeprazole and midazolam IV in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the time of the last quantifiable data point)Cmax (Maximum measured concentration of the S-warfarin, omeprazole and midazolam IV in plasma)
tmax (Time from dosing to the maximum concentration of the S-warfarin, omeprazole and midazolam IV in plasma)
λz (Terminal rate constant of the S-warfarin, omeprazole and midazolam IV in plasma)
t1/2 (Terminal rate constant of the S-warfarin, omeprazole and midazolam IV in plasma)
MRT (Mean residence time of the S-warfarin, omeprazole and midazolam IV in the body after administration)
CL/F (Apparent clearance of the S-warfarin, omeprazole and midazolam IV in plasma after extravascular single dose administration)
Vz/F (Apparent volume of distribution during the terminal phase λz following extravascular administration S-warfarin, omeprazole and midazolam IV)
AUC0-inf (Area under the concentration-time curve of omeprazole in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity)
