Influence of chronic renal failure on stereoselective metoprolol metabolism in hypertensive patients.

Abstract excerpt

The influence of chronic renal failure on the stereoselective metabolism of rac-metoprolol was investigated in 15 hypertensive patients, 7 of them with chronic renal failure and 8 with normal renal function. They were treated with rac-metoprolol (200 mg) for 7 days. The patients of both groups presented stereoselectivity in metoprolol metabolism, favoring the formation of 1'R-alpha-hydroxymetoprolol...
