2015, Drug Metabolism and PharmacokineticsCitation Excerpt :As for inhibitors, atazanavir and erlotinib are known to specifically inhibit this enzyme [119,120]. UGT1A3: UGT1A3 metabolizes endobiotics such as bile acid (CDCA, LCA, HDCA) [48,121] and xenobiotics such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons [122], amines [123], non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) [124], and statins [125]. Despite the high sequence similarity (amino acid homology of 93%) with UGT1A4 in particular, UGT1A3 and UGT1A4 differ in terms of substrate selectivity, i.e., UGT1A3 catalyzes the acyl glucuronidation of carboxylic acid-containing drugs but UGT1A4 does so only minimally [126].
