TABLE 2

T1 relaxation rate-estimated distances of flurbiprofen protons from the heme iron of CYP2C9.1 in the absence and presence of 300 nM benzbromarone

Errors for measurements are shown within parentheses. Errors in the T1 values were those reported by the fitting routine. Errors in the reported distances (r) were determined by propagation of error from the T1 calculation. Flurbiprofen concentration was 145 μM; benzbromarone concentration was 300 nM when studied together. See Fig. 1 for the numbering scheme of the flurbiprofen protons. T1 calculations for the HC-CO2H proton could not be accurately determined because of interference from the residual glycerol resonances. T1 values are in seconds. [P450 2C9] = 0.014 μM; αM = [P450]/(Ks + [substrate]), Ks (flurbiprofen) = 7.8 μM, αM (flurbiprofen) = 9.16 × 10−5. Distance values are in angstroms (Å), r = C[T1P × αM × fc)]−1/6, C = 539 (Mildvan and Gupta, 1978), 1/T1P = 1/T1, 2C9 − 1/T1, 2C9 + CO (Mildvan and Gupta, 1978), fc) = 2 × 10−10 s−1.
