“…For example, the preferential substrates for CES1A1, a human CES1 family isozyme, are thought to be compounds esterified by small alcohols, while those for CES2A1, a human CES2 family isozyme, are thought to be compounds esterified by relatively large alcohols. CES1A1, but not CES2A1, hydrolyzed the methyl ester of cocaine and the ethyl esters of temocapril, meperidine, imidapril and oseltamivir (Pindel et al, 1997;Takai et al, 1997;Mori et al, 1999;Satoh et al, 2002;Furihata et al, 2004a;Shi et al, 2006;Ose et al, 2009).…”
