Abstract excerpt
Systemic exposure of the antidepressant S-citalopram (escitalopram, SCIT) differs several-fold according to variable cytochrome P450 2C19 activity, demonstrating the importance of this enzyme for the metabolic clearance of SCIT in vivo. However, previous studies have indicated that the involvement of CYP2C19 in formation of the metabolite N-desmethyl S-citalopram (SDCIT) is limited. Therefore, the purpose of the...
