4-hydroxy Tolbutamide is a cytochrome P450 2C8 (CYP2C8) and CYP2C9 metabolite of tolbutamide, a first-generation potassium channel blocker. Tolbutamide 4-hydroxylation is an often used probe reaction in the pharmaceutical industry for the characterization of CYP2C8 and CYP2C9 involvement in the metabolism of clinical drugs.
4-Hydroxytolbutamide has been used as a standard to assay the fungal biotransformation of tolbutamide to 4′-hydroxytolbutamide.
A metabolite of Tolbutamide. Formed by the cytochrome CYP2CIIC8 and IIC9 subfamily of P450 enzymes
ChEBI: A urea that consists of 1-butylurea having a 4-hydroxymethylbenzenesulfonyl group attached at the 3-position.
