Oxidative polymorphism of debrisoquine (DBQ) was assessed in 84 patients (81 male) with histologically proven bronchogenic carcinoma and in 143 healthy male smokers. 80 (95%) patients and 133 (93%) controls, with a metabolic ratio (MR) below 12.6, were classified as extensive metabolisers of DBQ (no significant difference between patients and controls). Only 1 of the 73 patients with epidermoid or microcytic carcinomas was classified as a poor metaboliser (PM) (P = 0.031 compared with controls). 63 patients (75%) and 110 controls (77%) showed a very fast oxidative rate, with MR values under 1 (not significant). The EM phenotype of DBQ might be a secondary genetic risk factor for developing bronchogenic carcinoma in male smokers.

D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D011110 Polymorphism, Genetic The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.

D003647 Debrisoquin An adrenergic neuron-blocking drug similar in effects to GUANETHIDINE. It is also noteworthy in being a substrate for a polymorphic cytochrome P-450 enzyme. Persons with certain isoforms of this enzyme are unable to properly metabolize this and many other clinically important drugs. They are commonly referred to as having a debrisoquin 4-hydroxylase polymorphism. Debrisoquine,Tendor
