Investigation of a Metabolic Pathway Leading to an Idiosyncratic Drug Reaction: Is the Sulfate of 12-Hydroxynevirapine Responsible for the Skin Rash in Brown Norway rats?

An animal model of nevirapine (NVP)-induced skin rash was used to test the hypothesis that sulfonation of 12-OH NVP, a metabolite of NVP proven essential for rash development, is the link between 12-OH NVP and the skin rash. Female Brown Norway (BN) rats were co-treated with NVP or 12-OH NVP and sul...
