Abstract excerpt
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 CYP2C9 test drug. Tolbutamide pharmacokinetics and plasma insulin and glucose concentrations were studied in 23 healthy volunteers with all six combinations of the...
