Abstract excerpt
Sulfapyridine (SP) is metabolized by polymorphic N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) [EC 2.3.1.5]. In this study, the correlation between the NAT2 genotype and the pharmacokinetics of SP after multiple oral dosing of sulfasalazine (SASP) was examined to elucidate the effect of multiple dosing on the predictability of the phenotype by NAT2 genotyping. Seven healthy subjects were classified into two groups; the...
