Assessment of urinary mephenytoin metrics to phenotype for CYP2C19 and CYP2B6 activity.

OBJECTIVES: (S)-Mephenytoin is selectively metabolised to (S)-4'-hydroxymephenytoin by CYP2C19. The urinary excretion of 4'-hydroxymephenytoin reflects the activity of individual enzymes. We evaluated fractioned urinary collection and beta-glucuronidase pre-treatment in order to determine the optima...
