Description

Benzyl(1-phenylpropan-2-yl)amine is a piperidine derivative that acts as an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 enzymes. It binds to the CYP2D6 enzyme and has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on the activity of this enzyme in rat liver microsomes. The binding constants for benzyl(1-phenylpropan-2-yl)amine with the CYP2D6 enzyme were determined by competitive inhibition studies and it was found that this compound has a high binding affinity with the CYP2D6 enzyme. Studies also demonstrated that benzyl(1-phenylpropan-2-yl)amine inhibits the activity of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 enzymes. This drug may be useful in treating some individuals who are taking drugs metabolized by these two enzymes, but will not be effective in people who are not taking any drugs metabolized by these two enzymes.
