Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether genetic polymorphism of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 affects the in vivo metabolism of warfarin enantiomers. METHODS: Eighty-six Japanese patients heart disease who were given warfarin participated in the study. Plasma unbound concentrations of warfarin enantiomers and urinary (S)-7-hydroxywarfarin concentrations were measured by means of a chiral HPLC and ultrafiltration technique to...
