Yhe above explanation is an hypothesis. It is still not known (after 15 years) if the reactive intermediate which inactivate the CYP2C9 is the thiophene sulfoxide or the thiophene epoxide. The target on the protein is also not known (could be multiple). However tieilic acid is a good mechanism based of CYP2C9 and seeems to inactivate it stoechiometrically. Progress in proteomics may one day give the answer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.198.143.165 (talk) 22:29, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Paragraph 4
The current paragraph 4 does not make sense is there something missing? It is currently "In addition sera of patients who had liver failure after taking this drug contained antibodies recognizing CYP2C9 able to hydroxylate the drug and to give covalent binding."
There seems to be something missing immediately after "CYP2C9"
