The debrisoquine hydroxylation phenotype was studied in 152 unselected healthy Tasmanian subjects, who were mostly Caucasians of British ancestry. Following a 10 mg oral dose of debrisoquine (D), the ratio of D/4-hydroxydebrisoquine excreted in 8-h urine (metabolic ratio, MR) was determined. MR valu

Ifosfamide (IF) pharmacokinetics and the plasma (NBP)-alkylating activity were determined in 33 patients with different tumours after the administration of IF as single-agent chemotherapy. All subjects had been phenotyped for debrisoquine oxidation. There is a lack of correlation between the debriso
The Far Eastern and Caucasian populations are strikingly different with respect to the debrisoquine/sparteine hydroxylation polymorphism. The number of poor metabolizers, as defined for Caucasians, is very low among Chinese and Japanese. We investigated the molecular basis for this difference by ana
The oxidative polymorphism of debrisoquine (DBQ) has been determined in 89 patients with colo-rectal cancer and in 556 normal control subjects. Four patients and 34 controls, with a metabolic ratio greater than 12.6, were classified as poor metabolisers of DBQ (n.s.). No difference was found in the
European data on the polymorphic metabolism of debrisoquine, sparteine, dextromethorphan and mephenytoin have been collected. No significant difference in phenotype frequencies was found between the separate series for debrisoquine, sparteine and dextromethorphan, which supports the claim that these
