The hypoglycaemic drug tolbutamide is used for assessment of CYP2C9 activity in vivo. However, therapeutically active doses of 500 mg bear the risk of hypoglycaemia, and a tolbutamide-derived parameter based on a single plasma or urine concentration reflecting CYP2C9 activity

The hypoglycemic drug tolbutamide is commonly used as a probe drug to evaluate CYP2C9 enzyme activity in terms of production of 4'-hydroxytolbutamide. In the present study, an initial screening of seven filamentous fungi was carried out to identify which was

A simple HPLC/fluorescence method to detect hydroxytolbutamide (a major metabolite of the anti-diabetic drug tolbutamide) has been developed. The effects of nicotine and some of its metabolites on tolbutamide hydroxylation is described. An extraction procedure with diethyl ether was followed

Several recent in-vitro data have revealed that CYP2C19, in addition to CYP2C9, is also involved in the 4-methylhydroxylation of tolbutamide. We evaluated the relative contribution of CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms on the disposition of blood glucose lowering response to
