Enzyme function and inhibition

Abstract Subcellular fractions of three human brain specimens were found to contain esterase activities which hydrolyzed racemic oxazepam 3‐acetate (rac‐OXA). All three human brain preparations were highly selective toward the S‐enantiomer of rac‐OXA. © 1993 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
