Abstract excerpt
In a selected group of 86 patients (60 males, 26 females) with symptomatic ventricular arrhythmias, possible interactions between metabolic and chiral effects at steady-state were investigated by comparing the plasma levels of propafenone, its major metabolites and the 2 structural isomers. The antiarrhythmic drug propafenone is metabolized--besides a minor dealkylation pathway--mainly via 5-hydroxylation. It is...
