Abstract excerpt
A test designed to estimate the extent and rate of formation of 7-hydroxycoumarin by measuring the urinary excretion of the metabolite in humans after administering 5 mg coumarin was developed. Coumarin was rapidly metabolized after oral administration and more than 95% of the 7OHC formed was excreted in 4 h. The total amount of 7OHC formed was 64 +/- 15% (mean +/- SD, variation 20-100%) of the dose given. The...
