Inherited deficiency in mephenytoin hydroxylation was observed in a family study. It is important that the propositus was of the extensive metabolizer phenotype for the genetically controlled hydroxylation of debrisoquine. Thus, a genetic polymorphism of drug hydroxylation was suspected for

In vitro methods were used to identify the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme(s) involved in S-mephenytoin N-demethylation. S-Mephenytoin (200 microM) was incubated with human liver microsomes, and nirvanol formation was quantitated by reversed-phase HPLC. S-Mephenytoin N-demethylase activity in a panel of

The pharmacodynamics of rat hepatic cytochrome P450 2B (P450 2B) induction by phenobarbital (PB) and two structural congeners, dl-5-ethyl-5-phenylhydantoin (EPH) and dl-5-ethyl-5-phenyloxazolidinedione (EPO), were investigated. The in vivo induction of P450 2B was probed in F344/NCr rats by measuring immunoreactive

The abilities of structural congeners of phenobarbital to induce immunoreactive hepatic cytochrome P450 2B (CYP2B) protein and associated catalytic activity (benzyloxyresorufin O-dealkylation) in the male B6C3F1 mouse were examined. Interspecies differences in inducing ability were examined through comparison of the

American journal of human genetics, 38(5), 768-772 (1986-05-01)
A genetic polymorphism characterized by deficient drug oxidation exists for the hydroxylation of mephenytoin. This deficiency was first recognized in a family study that suggested an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. To confirm the observation, we investigated 28 relatives of
