Abstract excerpt
The study aim was to assess the inductive properties of artemisinin antimalarials using mephenytoin as a probe for CYP2B6 and CYP2C19 enzymatic activity. The population pharmacokinetics of S-mephenytoin and its metabolites S-nirvanol and S-4'-hydroxymephenytoin, including enzyme turn-over models for induction, were described by nonlinear mixed effects modeling. Rich data (8-16 samples/occasion/subject) were...
