Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: It has been reported that carvedilol, which has beta-adrenergic blocking and vasodilating activities, is mainly metabolized by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1, UGT2B4, UGT2B7 and CYP2D6. The aim of this study was to determine whether the activity of glucuronidation has an influence on the area under the curve (AUC) of carvedilol and whether polymorphisms in UGTs and CYP2D6 contribute to individual...
