“…However, both studies show that the concentration of DP cannot be used to predict that of MND in plasma, and the need for concomitant determination of both should be thoroughly considered. Concentration dependent plasma protein binding and interindividual binding variations for DP are reported by a number of authors (Chien et al, 1974, Hinderling et al, 1974Cunningham et al, 1977;Meffin et al, 1979;David et al, 1980;Aitio, 1981;Johnston & Hamer, 1982). Very little is known about the main metabolite MND which also possesses some antiarrhythmic and electrophysiological activity (for review, see Koch-Weser, 1979;Brown & Shand, 1982).…”
