Abstract excerpt
Metoprolol, a selective β1-adrenoreceptor blocking agent used in the treatment of hypertension, angina, and heart failure, is primarily metabolized by the CYP2D6 enzyme, which catalyzes α-hydroxylation and O-desmethylation. As CYP2D6 is genetically highly polymorphic and the enzymatic activity differs greatly depending on the presence of the mutant allele(s), the pharmacokinetic profile of metoprolol is highly...
