Uses
CYP2C19 metabolite of Mephenytoin
Definition
ChEBI: Hydroxymephenytoin is an imidazolidine-2,4-dione.
General Description
CYP2C19 metabolite of mephenytoin.
Biochem/physiol Actions
4-Hydroxymephenytoin catabolism displays genetic polymorphism and is a direct indicator of Cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) activity. Detection and quantification of 4-hydroxymephenytoin in biological samples by HPLC method is well optimized.
