In Vivo Glucuronidation Activity of Drugs in Neonates: Extensive Interindividual Variability Despite Their Young Age
21 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
Compared with phase I isoenzymes, data on isoenzyme-specific phenotypic activity of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) and its covariates in neonates are limited. In vivo observations on morphine, paracetamol (acetaminophen), and propofol disposition throughout childhood confirm the overall low-glucuronidation activity in neonates observed in in vitro studies. In addition to the phenotypic...
