Used as an anticonvulsant agent | [Definition]
ChEBI: (S)-Mephenytoin is an imidazolidine-2,4-dione. | [Biological Activity]
(s)-mephenytoin is an anticonvulsive drug which is metabolized by n-demethylation and 4-hydroxylation (of the aromatic ring). (s)-mephenytoin is a substrate of the cytochrome p450 (cyp) isoform cyp2c19, also known as mephenytoin 4-hydroxylase [1].cyp2c19 is the main mephenytoin 4-hydroxylase in humans implicated in metabolizing a variety of therapeutic agents, such as omeprazole, proguanil, diazepam, propranolol, citalopram, imipramine, and certain barbiturates [2]. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
CYP2B6 & CYP2C19 substrate. Methenytoin isomer. Anticonvulsant; antiepileptic. | [in vitro]
in the presence of cytochrome b5, the km value for s-mephenytoin was 1.25 mm with all five purified cytochrome p-450s preparations, and vmax values were 0.8-1.25 nmol of 4-hydroxy product formed per min/nmol of p-450 [1]. | [References]
