H Fujioka et al.
Journal of pharmacobio-dynamics, 9(3), 303-314 (1986-03-01)
Disposition of 1-benzenesulfonyl-5,5-diphenylhydantoin (II) having a potent anti-inflammatory activity was compared with that of 5,5-diphenylhydantoin (I), an antiepileptic drug, in order to elucidate whether the pharmacodynamic difference between them can be explained by their physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties. After oral
A Pezeshk et al.
Journal of inorganic biochemistry, 42(4), 267-272 (1991-06-01)
The preparation and spectral properties of copper(II) complexes of two hydantoins are reported. Complexes of the general formula Cu(hyd)2(py)2, where hyd = phenytoin or nirvanol; and py = pyridine were prepared and characterized by infrared and ESR. Spectral data show
B F Bourgeois et al.
Epilepsia, 27(4), 412-418 (1986-07-01)
Stereoselective metabolism has been demonstrated for mephenytoin (MHT), R-MHT being demethylated to the pharmacologically active metabolite 5-phenyl-5-ethylhydantoin (PEH; nirvanol), and S-MHT undergoing aromatic hydroxylation to 4-OH-MHT, with formation of an intermediate arene oxide metabolite. PEH is responsible for the therapeutic

Xenobiotica; the fate of foreign compounds in biological systems, 16(5), 379-389 (1986-05-01)
The antiepileptic drug mephenytoin is a racemate. Mephenytoin hydroxylation is a stereospecific reaction and is confined to the S-enantiomer, which is normally eliminated within hours, allowing the R-enantiomer to accumulate since it can be eliminated only within days or weeks.
S H Akrawi et al.
European journal of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, 14(4), 269-278 (1989-10-01)
The stereoselective clearances of R- and S-mephenytoin were determined in rats receiving either an intravenous or hepatic portal vein infusion of racemic mephenytoin. The mean +/- SD intravenous clearances of R- and S-mephenytoin were 1630 +/- 250 ml/hr and 630
