The regioselectivity of the metabolic hydroxylation of debrisoquine has been determined in 43 healthy British white volunteers and the priority was found to be in the order 4 greater than 7 greater than 6 greater than 5 greater than 8. The order of preference for hydroxylation position was independent of debrisoquine 4-hydroxylation phenotype. The extent of total aromatic hydroxylation varied widely between individuals and was largely independent of the extent of 4-hydroxylation, and thus of the influence of the DH/DL locus. Two sisters and their blood relations all excreted comparatively large amounts of the phenolic metabolites in their urine, indicating some genetic basis for the control of aromatic oxidation of debrisoquine in man. These same two sisters had previously developed agranulocytosis in association with carbimazole therapy.
