Abstract excerpt
To investigate how variability in multiple pharmacokinetic genes associates with telmisartan exposure, we determined telmisartan single-dose (40 mg) pharmacokinetics and sequenced 379 genes in 188 healthy volunteers. Intronic UGT1A variants showed the strongest associations with the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from zero hours to infinity (AUC0-∞ ) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax ) of...
