The 5HT(1A) receptor agonist sarizotan is in clinical development for the treatment of dyskinesia, a potentially disabling complication in Parkinson's disease. We investigated the effect of sarizotan on the clinical pharmacokinetics of probe drugs for cytochrome P450 (CYP) to evaluate

The preferential hydroxylation of (S)-mephenytoin to 4'-hydroxymephenytoin (4'-OH-M) displays a genetic polymorphism of drug metabolism in humans. Thus the excreted 4'-OH-M is considered to be an important marker for the hepatic (S)-mephenytoin 4'-hydroxylase. Accordingly, a mixture of urine containing total

Using cyclodextrin micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (CD-MECC), baseline separation of mephenytoin, 4-hydroxymephenytoin and 4-hydroxyphenytoin enantiomers in urine was effected with beta-cyclodextrin. After single-dose administration of 100 mg of racemic mephenytoin, the 0-8 h urine was collected, and enzymatically hydrolyzed urine

Drug metabolism is influenced by liver disease because of the central role that the liver plays in metabolic activities in the body. However, it is still unclear how activities of specific drug-metabolizing enzymes are influenced by the presence and severity
