Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The oral hypoglycaemic drug nateglinide is eliminated from the human body via hepatic biotransformation and renal tubular secretion. According to in vitro data, about 70% of nateglinide intrinsic clearance may be mediated by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 and a smaller fraction by CYP3A4 and CYP2D6. OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of CYP2C9 polymorphisms and of the CYP2D6 poor metaboliser genotype on the...
