Abstract Drug metabolism in hepatocytes attracted many researchers’ interests since metabolism reactions alter toxicity and efficacy of drug molecules. Researches on metabolism revealed the proteins playing major role in drug metabolism; cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) for phase I reaction, UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) and sulfotransferases (SULTs) for phase II reaction, and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) for transportation of drug molecule. “PreMetabo” is user-friendly software to predict metabolism of drug molecules for helping users to make decision in early stage. It is named by combining the words ‘prediction’ and ‘metabolism.’ Metabolism predictions are useful to understand fate of drug molecules in hepatocytes. The software is composed of modules to predict site of metabolism by CYPs, and to classify substrate of CYP2D6, CYP3A4, UGT, SULT, and P-gp, or inhibitor of CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4. PreMetabo is not only implemented as GUI version, but also as web version to make it accessible to everyone. (https://premetabo.bmdrc.kr/)
