Isoniazid acetylation and polymorphism in humans.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Phenotypes of slow and fast acetylators of isoniazid (INH) were determined in 157 subjects (80 normals and 77 patients with tuberculosis) from the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Plasma INH concentrations were determined chemically six hours after the drug ingestion. The findings indicate that 31.8% subjects were fast acetylators of the drug.

The aim of this study was to determine the association of n-acetyltransferase-2 polymorphisms and anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity in Iranian pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Acetylating phenotypes was studied in 50 Iranian pulmonary tuberculosis patients using metabolic ratio of plasma acetyl-Isoniazid to Isoniazid. The association between hepatotoxicity and the n-acetyltransferas...

متن کاملAcetylation of serotonin in vitro by a human N-acetyltransferase.
1. There is a well-recognized genetic polymorphism for the N-acetylation of isoniazid and sulphamethazine by human livers. 2. Serotonin was found to be acetylated by human liver enzyme preparations and the N-acetylserotonin formed was identified and determined quantitatively. 3. In 13 livers examined there was a wide variability in the capacity to acetylate serotonin that did not correlate with...
متن کاملAn improved and simplified method of detecting the acetylator phenotype.
A genetic polymorphism has been shown in man for the metabolism of isoniazid (Knight, Selin, and Harris, 1959; Evans, Manley, and McKusick, 1960; Sunahara et al., 1963a, b), and has been shown to control acetylation (Evans, 1962; Jenne, 1963; Evans and White, 1964; Peters, Miller, and Brown, 1965). The acetylation of sulphadimidine (sulfamethazine) has been found to be under the same genetic co...
متن کاملAcetylation genotype and phenotype in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
UNLABELLED Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting various tissues and organs. In the studies on SLE etiopathogenesis, a potential role of genetically determined impairment of xenobiotic metabolism has been emphasized. N-acetyltransferase 2 enzyme (NAT2) exhibits gene polymorphism and the acetylation rate with NAT2 involvement varies from person to person. T...
