Abstract excerpt
The relationship between debrisoquine oxidation phenotype and the pharmacokinetics of quinine after a single dose (600 mg) of quinine sulphate was studied in eight extensive metabolizers (EM) and five poor metabolizers (PM). The mean elimination half-life of quinine in the PMs (10.2 +/- 1.6 (s.d.)h) was similar to that in the EMs (10.9 +/- 1.7 h). The oral clearance of quinine in the PM subjects was 0.092 +/-...
