Abstract excerpt
The present study has validated kinetically a convenient method to measure tolbutamide hydroxylation capacity in human beings by use of urinary metabolic ratios. The known in vivo and in vitro inhibitory properties of sulfaphenazole were used to convert control phase subjects to phenotypically "poor" metabolizers of tolbutamide. Six healthy subjects were given a single 500 mg oral dose of tolbutamide with and...
