Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine the variability of coumarin 7- and 3-hydroxylation in a human population and to evaluate the evidence for the existence of genetic polymorphism in these pathways. 7-Hydroxylation of coumarin is considered to be a detoxication pathway, whilst 3-hydroxylation, which predominates in rats, leads to hepatotoxicity in the rat. Coumarin metabolic phenotypes could aid in refining the risk...
