Bioactivity (S)-Mephenytoin ((+)-Mephenytoin) is an anticonvulsive agent. (S)-Mephenytoin is a substrate of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP2C19. (S)-Mephenytoin can be used for the analysis of cytochrome P450 metabolism[1][2].
Invitro In the presence of cytochrome b5, the Km for S-mephenytoin is 1.25 mM with all five purified cytochrome P-450s preparations[1].
