Résumé
A method is described to measure the in vitro metabolism of theophylline by liver microsomes. The formation of 1‐methyluric acid and 1, 3‐dimethyluric acid in incubation mixtures was determined by high‐performance liquid chromatography. The formation of both metabolites was linear with time and the formation of 1‐methyluric acid was blocked by allopurinol. This method will be useful in assessing potential drug interactions involving theophylline.
