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
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

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
We investigated the conversion of mephenytoin to nirvanol in five patients with uncontrolled complex partial seizures. After a 50-mg single oral dose, mean peak mephenytoin level was 0.48 microgram/ml and nirvanol 0.37 microgram/ml. After 400 mg, peak mephenytoin level was

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
