Abstract excerpt
1. Proguanil (PG) oxidative metabolism to cycloguanil (CG) has been linked to the CYP2C19-mediated genetic polymorphism in S-mephenytoin oxidative metabolism. In many countries, rac-mephenytoin can no longer be administered to humans and hence proguanil may be a more suitable probe for phenotyping purposes. 2. There are limited data on the pharmacokinetics of PG and CG and in particular, whether there is a...
