Abstract Conclusions: Human kidney microsomes metabolize methoxyflurane, and to a much lesser extent sevoflurane, to fluoride ion. P450s 2E1 and/or 2A6 and P450 3A are Implicated in the defluorinatlon. If intrarenally generated fluoride or other metabolites are nephrotoxic, then renal metabolism may contribute to methoxyflurane nephrotoxicity. The relative paucity of renal sevoflurane defluorinatlon may explain the absence of clinical sevoflurane nephrotoxicity to date, despite plasma fluoride concentrations that may exceed 50 "mu"m.
