In Vitro Enzyme Inhibition Experiment
Negligible inhibition of UGT2B7 by diclofenac
Negligible Inhibition was detected. Cutoff used —
IC50 > 10 μM are low potential inhibitors.
1 μM < IC50 < 10 μM are moderate potential inhibitors.
IC50 < 1 μM are high potential inhibitors.

Experimental Conditions
The amount of protein, the incubation time and the concentration of 4-MU used in the measurement of 4-MU glucuronidation were described in the method by Uchaipichat et al.
Microsomes expressing recombinant human UGT1A1 and UGT2B7 were obtained from BD Biosciences (Woburn, MA, United States);incubations (total volume 250 μL) contained phosphate buffer (100 mM) (pH 7.4), MgCl 2 (5 mM), cell lysate (83.3 μg/mL for UGT1A1 or 62.5 μg/mL for UGT2B7), UDPGA (5 mM), and 4-MU (substrate) (100 μM for UGT1A1 assay or 350 μM for UGT2B7 assay).
