Thus, we determined only a maximal 8-MOP concentration of 47 ng/ml serum as an extreme value in one patient and on other patient had his maximal serum peak 3-4 hours after 8-MOP-application and only a value of 8-MOP of 18 ng/ml serum at the recommended time of irradiation. In this connection a first pass mechanism for 8-MOP by a limited biotransformation capacity in the liver is significant and one basic reason for the interindividual variation. Therefore in these cases the knowledge of the individual serum profiles of 8-MOP is helpful to adapt the time of irradiation to the individual necessities and/or to increase the 8-MOP doses.</p>","PeriodicalId":11046,"journal":{"name":"Dermatologische Monatschrift","volume":"176 5-6","pages":"317-21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13378585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
