*DA-9701, Corydalis tuber extract (CT Ex), and Pharbitidis semen extract (PS Ex) were preincubated for 30 min in the presence of NADPH before the addition of the substrate. **VDI: volume per dose index, ***N.I.: no inhibition at 200  g/mL of DA-9701. Cocktail substrate concentrations used for the assessment of IC50 were as follows: 50  M phenacetin, 2.5  M coumarin, 2.5  M amodiaquine, 10  M diclofenac, 100  M (S)-mephenytoin, 5.0  M bufuralol, and 2.5  M midazolam. The data represent the average of three determinations.
