Abstract:The renewed interest in sulphinpyrazone in recent years has arisen from its potential to inhibit platelet aggregation. In vivo much of the activity is probably due to the thioether or sulphide metabolite which has a greater potency and a longer half-life than the parent compound. The sulphide metabolite is formed exclusively by the gut microflora in man. The pharmacokinetics of sulphinpyrazone (200 mg orally) have been studied, with particular attention to the formation of the sulphide metabolite, in groups of… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
