Assess Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) Enzymes Induction Potential of 2 Test Articles (TA)

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the nation’s leading medical research agency and the primary Federal agency whose mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge. The mission of the NIH also includes enhancing health, lengthening life, reducing illness and disability, conducting, supporting, and making medical discoveries that improves and saves people’s health and lives.
The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) is a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which mission it is to catalyze the generation of innovative methods and technologies that will enhance the development, testing and implementation of diagnostics and therapeutics across a wide range of human diseases and conditions. To support drug development for Mitragynine and its major metabolite 7-hydroxymitragynine, the CYP450 induction potential of the test articles for major human CYP450 needs to be assessed.
