The relationship between debrisoquine oxidation phenotype and the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of propranolol. 1984

M S Lennard, and P R Jackson, and S Freestone, and G T Tucker, and L E Ramsay, and H F Woods

The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of propranolol (80 mg by mouth) were studied in seven extensive and four poor metabolisers of debrisoquine. Evidence for impairment of the 4'-hydroxylation of propranolol was found in poor metabolisers. However, no significant difference was detected in the oral clearance of unchanged drug between the two groups of debrisoquine oxidation phenotypes. Poor metabolisers of debrisoquine did not experience more intense or more prolonged beta-adrenoceptor blockade than extensive metabolisers of debrisoquine.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007546 Isoquinolines A group of compounds with the heterocyclic ring structure of benzo(c)pyridine. The ring structure is characteristic of the group of opium alkaloids such as papaverine. (From Stedman, 25th ed)
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008297 Male Males
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
D010641 Phenotype The outward appearance of the individual. It is the product of interactions between genes, and between the GENOTYPE and the environment. Phenotypes
D011433 Propranolol A widely used non-cardioselective beta-adrenergic antagonist. Propranolol has been used for MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; ARRHYTHMIA; ANGINA PECTORIS; HYPERTENSION; HYPERTHYROIDISM; MIGRAINE; PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA; and ANXIETY but adverse effects instigate replacement by newer drugs.

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

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
