Summary
CYP2B6 substrates are compounds that are metabolized by CYP2B6 (a cytochrome P450 enzyme), but do not necessarily affect its activity.
In the presence of CYP2B6 inhibitors or inducers, the metabolism of CYP2B6 substrates can be affected.
The table below outlines some of the most common or clinically relevant CYP2B6 substrates.[1][2][3] Importantly, this list is not exhaustive.
| CYP2B6 Substrates |
|---|
| Bupropion |
| Cyclophosphamide* |
| Efavirenz |
| Ketamine |
| Methadone |
| Nicotine |
| Selegiline |
| Sertraline |
| Temazepam |
| Tramadol |
* Prodrugs are indicated with an asterisk
