  • Title: Antipyrine metabolism in relation to polymorphic oxidations of sparteine and debrisoquine.
    Author: Eichelbaum M, Bertilsson L, Säwe J.
    Journal: Br J Clin Pharmacol; 1983 Mar; 15(3):317-21. PubMed ID: 6849767.
    Abstract:
    Thirty-five healthy subjects who had been classified as extensive or poor metabolizers of both sparteine and debrisoquine were given a single oral dose of antipyrine. Saliva concentration of antipyrine and urinary excretion of its three major oxidation metabolites were measured. All the parameters of antipyrine metabolism which were estimated had similar distributions in both the 28 EM and 7 PM genetic phenotypes defined by the metabolism of sparteine and debrisoquine. The clearance of antipyrine by the formation of 4-hydroxy-antipyrine and 3-hydroxy-antipyrine respectively were closely correlated (r = 0.83, P less than 0.001) and both were significantly higher in smokers than in non-smokers. Demethylation of antipyrine also seemed to be influenced by smoking, but not to a statistically significant extent. These findings confirm the influence of the environmental factor of smoking in antipyrine oxidative biotransformations.
