Competitive inhibition of coumarin 7-hydroxylation by pilocarpine and its interaction with mouse CYP 2A5 and human CYP 2A6.

abstract：:1 In the isolated basilar artery of the rabbit, gamma-aminobutyrate acid (GABA) (ED50 +/- s.e. mean, 2.4 +/- 1.1 x 10(-5) M) produced a relaxation, if the tone had been increased with 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). 2 3-Aminoproprane sulphonic acid (3-APS) produced a similar, but smaller relaxation, while baclofen had no ...
