Use of hepatocytes isolated from a liver-humanized mouse for studies on the metabolism of drugs: application to the metabolism of fentanyl and acetylfentanyl

ConclusionsOur results indicated that PXB-cells have high activities of phase I and phase II drug-metabolizing-enzymes, can be stably supplied, and are easy to use; thus, PXB-cells are highly useful for the prediction of the in vivo metabolism of drugs of abuse.
