Abstract
The metabolism of the β2-adrenoceptor agent methoxyphenamine was investigated in rats of the Lewis and Dark Agouti strains, which are proposed models for human extensive and poor metabolizers of debrisoquine, respectively. Following oral ingestion of 20 mg kg−1 of methoxyphenamine, Dark Agouti excreted, on the average, significantly more methoxyphenamine and less (O-demethylmethoxyphenamine and 5-hydroxymethoxyphenamine in 0- to 24-h urine than Lewis. In contrast, the N-demethylation of methoxyphenamine showed no interphenotype differences between the two strains. It is possible that in rats, the form of cytochrome P-450, which controls the 4-hydroxylation of debrisoquine, may also control the O-demethylation and aromatic 5-hydroxylation of methoxyphenamine.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
