Abstract excerpt
1. The relationship between the metabolism of the antiarrhythmic drug mexiletine and the debrisoquine/sparteine-type polymorphism was studied in vitro, using microsomes from six human livers, and in vivo, in nine healthy drug-free volunteers with wide variation in their ability to hydroxylate debrisoquine. 2.
