Large animal models provide an alternative opportunity to study changes in cytochrome P450 (CYP) activity in the mother and fetus during pregnancy. We aimed to develop methods to determine the activity of CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 in sheep hepatic microsomes. We identified optimal conditions to determine the activity of CYP1A2 (using the probe drug phenacetin), CYP2C9 (diclofenac), CYP2D6 (dextromethorphan) and CYP3A4 (midazolam) by varying techniques for microsome extraction, probe drug concentration, incubation time and microsome concentration. The specificity of each probe drug was assessed by determining the rate of metabolism when specific CYP enzyme inhibitors were included in the reaction. The optimum incubation time and probe drug concentration was six hours with 5μM phenacetin (CYP1A2), four hours with 10μM diclofenac ( standardised protocol for assessment of microsomal activity of CYP3A4, CYP1A2 and CYP2D6, but we were unable to optimise conditions for assessment of CYP2C9. This approach can be applied to investigate the impact of pregnancy complications on maternal and fetal hepatic drug metabolism. Urinary sulfate fraction of the anabolic androgenic steroids is not analyzed routinely in anti-doping analyses but has demonstrated in the last years an increasing interest among the anti-doping community. Sulfate conjugates are linked to plasma proteins increasing the residence time in the body compared to glucuro-conjugated metabolites, and then their analyses may allow improving the detection time window of specific metabolites. Hydrolysis of sulfates can be made enzymatically or chemically and can be challenging, depending on the strategy selected. Hydrolysis by solvolysis was validated for metabolic studies, focusing on setting a
