Abstract: The LC/MS/MS warfarin assay, combining stereo‐ and regioselective cytochrome P450 (CYP) form‐specific warfarin hydroxylation with sensitive and specific LC/MS/MS detection technique, is emerging to be a promising tool for the study of CYP‐associated drug–drug interactions for new chemical entities (NCEs) during drug discovery process.
