Abstract excerpt
Amantadine is a drug with a primary amino group, and consequently a likely candidate for metabolism by acetylation. This study assessed the possibility that a person's polymorphic (NAT2) acetylator phenotype could be used to predict the extent of amantadine acetylation. Thirty-eight normal, healthy volunteers were NAT2 acetylator phenotyped with sulfapyridine. Of the six fastest (75-86%) and six slowest (34-40%)...
