Abstract excerpt
Wide variability in response to some drugs such as debrisoquine can be attributed largely to genetic polymorphism of their oxidative metabolism. Most beta-blockers undergo extensive oxidation. Anecdotal reports of high plasma concentrations of certain beta-blockers in poor metabolisers (PMs) of debrisoquine have claimed that the oxidation of these drugs is under polymorphic control. Subsequently, controlled...
