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
Tolbutamide is known to be metabolized by cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9), and the effects of the CYP2C9 amino acid polymorphisms *2 (Arg144Cys) and *3 (Ile359Leu) could be important for drug treatment with tolbutamide and for use of tolbutamide as a
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

1. The metabolism of gliclazide to hydroxygliclazide has been investigated in Sprague-Dawley rat liver microsomes. 2. The kinetics of hydroxygliclazide formation are consistent with Michaelis-Menten kinetics (mean (+/- SD, n = 3) apparent K(m) and Vmax = 256 +/- 27
