mephenytoin and Depressive Disorder

mephenytoin has been researched along with Depressive Disorder in 9 studies

Mephenytoin: An anticonvulsant effective in tonic-clonic epilepsy (EPILEPSY, TONIC-CLONIC). It may cause blood dyscrasias.
mephenytoin : An imidazolidine-2,4-dione (hydantoin) in which the imidazolidine nucleus carries a methyl group at N-3 and has ethyl and phenyl substituents at C-5. An anticonvulsant, it is no longer available in the USA or the UK but is still studied largely because of its interesting hydroxylation polymorphism.

Depressive Disorder: An affective disorder manifested by either a dysphoric mood or loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities. The mood disturbance is prominent and relatively persistent.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" No evidence was seen of a pharmacokinetic interaction between CIT and Li, and this combination was well tolerated."2.68A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of citalopram with and without lithium in the treatment of therapy-resistant depressive patients: a clinical, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacogenetic investigation. ( Amey, M; Baettig, D; Baumann, P; Jonzier-Perey, M; Kasas, A; Lambert, S; Montaldi, S; Nil, R; Souche, A; Uehlinger, C, 1996)
" In many instances, a knowledge of the drug metabolism status of a patient can be helpful in the selection of a drug and its dosage regimen, and in the prediction of possible drug/drug interactions when two or more drugs have to be administered concomitantly."2.39Polymorphism in the metabolism of drugs, including antidepressant drugs: comments on phenotyping. ( Coutts, RT, 1994)
"The debrisoquine-test appears to be a useful clinical tool for detecting in patients a genetic deficiency in the hydroxylation of AT-type drugs."1.27Amitriptyline pharmacokinetics and clinical response: II. Metabolic polymorphism assessed by hydroxylation of debrisoquine and mephenytoin. ( Baumann, P; Jonzier-Perey, M; Koeb, L; Küpfer, A; Schöpf, J; Tinguely, D, 1986)
