The use of Cytochrome P450 inhibitors in sport. A new generation of doping masking agents

Resource description

Project Title: The use of Cytochrome P450 inhibitors in sport. A new generation of doping masking agents

Researchers: M. Mazzarino, F. Botrè, X. de la Torre, A.B. Cadwallader, F. Donati

Institution: Federazione Medico Sportiva, Italy

Year accepted: 2010

Summary: This project is designed to provide information on the role that inhibitors of the most abundant CYP450 enzymes may have in doping scenarios. Specifically, the metabolic profile of selected banned compounds, with special emphasis on threshold compounds and to compounds that are excreted in urine mainly as CYP450 metabolites will be assessed individually and in the presence of selected CYP inhibition agents in vitro, in order to establish if the co-administration of CYP inhibitors with doping agents could be used by athletes as masking strategy.
