The genetically controlled mephenytoin p(4')-hydroxylation capacity was determined in 118 Caucasians and 70 Orientals. After an oral dose of 50 or 100 mg of racemic mephenytoin, the amount of p(4')-hydroxymephenytoin in 24 h urine was measured by gas chromatography. Bimodal distribution was found with 9/70 (13%) Orientals and 5/118 (4%) Caucasians demonstrating deficient p(4')-hydroxylation. The statistically significant difference between Orientals and Caucasians (P less than 0.05) was accounted for by the high incidence of poor metabolizers among the Japanese subjects, 7/31 (23%). The frequency among Chinese subjects, 2/39 (5%), was similar to the frequency among Caucasians.
在118名白种人和70名东方人中测定了基因控制的美芬妥因4'-羟化能力。口服50或100毫克消旋美芬妥因后,通过气相色谱法测定24小时尿液中4'-羟基美芬妥因的含量。发现双峰分布,70名东方人中有9名(13%)、118名白种人中有5名(4%)表现出4'-羟化缺陷。东方人和白种人之间具有统计学意义的差异(P<0.05)是由日本受试者中代谢不良者的高发生率造成的,31名中有7名(23%)。中国受试者中的发生率为2/39(5%),与白种人中的发生率相似。
