Warfarin is the oral anticoagulant drug of choice in the UK and in many other countries. Administered as a racemate, both the (R)-and (S)-enantiomers are active.(S)-warfarin being about three-times as potent as (R)-warfarin, despite its higher clearance (Choonara et al., 1986). A high affinity hepatic (S)-warfarin 7-hydroxylase appears to be principally responsible for the metabolic clearance of the most potent enantiomer and recently this activity has been ascribed to a specific cytochrome P450 isozyme, CYP2C9, responsible for both the regioselective and stereoselective metabolism of (S)-warfarin (Rettie et al., 1992). Clearly, genetic polymorphism within the CYP2C9 gene, which gave rise to qualitatively different proteins with differing catalytic activities with respect to the 7-hydroxylation of (S)-warfarin, might have a major effect upon the clearance of the potentenantiomer and thus the in vivo response to orally administered drug. A single amino acid substitution of cysteine for arginine at position 144 in the protein, arising from C,–T base substitution (Kimura et al., 1987) gives rise to an allelic variant of CYP2C9, termed R144C by Rettie et al.(1994). Although Kaminsky et al.(1993), using site directed mutants expressed in yeast, found that the Arg-144-Cys mutation markedly affected neither the regio-nor the stereoselectivity of warfarin hydroxylation, Rettie et al.(1994), who expressed CYP2C9 and
