Calculation of Human Melatonin Partial Metabolic Clearance in Healthy Adult Volunteers for Investigation of a Novel <i>in Vivo</i> CYP1A2 Phenotyping Method: A Pilot Study
Abstract:The method of administering caffeine as a probe to evaluate the phenotypic activity of the CYP1A2, has not yet been applied clinically. In contrast, if endogenous melatonin (MEL) metabolism can be used to assess CYP1A2 activity, it could be a simple method that does not require substance administration. The study aim was to calculate the MEL partial metabolic clearance (CL m(MEL) ) from plasma MEL and its urinary metabolites and to test the potential of this approach as a novel CYP1A2 phenotyping method.
