Abstract excerpt
In 26 hospitalized patients with depression, a combined pharmacogenetic test with dextromethorphan, a substrate of cytochrome P450IID6, and mephenytoin, the S-form of which is hydroxylated by a P450IIC isozyme, was carried out before amitriptyline therapy. Metabolites were determined in 24-hour urine samples collected on treatment day 8, and the contributions of individual compounds, including the four isomers of...
