Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6), which has a large number of genetic polymorphisms, is involved in the metabolism of a wide range of substrates. Dextromethorphan (DM) is a well-known probe drug for CYP2D6 and metabolic ratio (MR) is often used to measure the enzyme activity in vivo. Using the literature values of DM MR, we estimated the inter-individual variability of CYP2D6 hepatic intrinsic clearance...
