Cytochrome P450 2C9 (abbreviated '''CYP2C9'''), a member of the Cytochrome P450 mixed-function oxidase system, is involved in the metabolism of Xenobiotic s in the body. It is involved in the metabolism of several important groups of drugs including many Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug s (NSAIDs) and Sulfonylurea s.

Genetic Polymorphism exists for CYP2C9 expression, with approximately 1–3% of Caucasian populations being Poor Metaboliser s with no CYP2C9 function.
