Purpose: This study was carried out to estimate the allele and genotype frequencies of common variants in the CYP3A4, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6 in the Han, Uighur, Hui, and Mongolian Chinese populations and compare genetic polymorphisms difference between the Han and minority Chinese ethnicities.

Methods: We evaluated 672 unrelated, healthy Chinese volunteers (Han: 136; Uighur: 214; Hui: 164; Mongolian: 158). Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral leukocytes and genotyped for CYP3A4*18, CYP2C19*2, *3, and CYP2D6*10 by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis.

Purpose: Pharmacokinetics of modafinil were investigated in relation to sex and ethnicity in healthy young volunteers from Han, Mongolian, Korean, Uygur and Hui (n = 10/group) following administration of a single 200 mg oral dose.

Methods: Blood samples were collected over 48 h for the determination of plasma levels of modafinil and its acid metabolite by HPLC. Pharmacokinetic parameters were evaluated using noncompartmental methods.

Purpose: This study investigated the pharmacokinetics of tinidazole in subjects of five different Chinese nationalities (Han, Mongolian, Korean, Hui, and Uighur).

Methods: Fifty healthy subjects (five male and five female of each nationality) were recruited for the study, and each received 1 g tinidazole. A total of 14 blood samples were collected over a 72-hour period after administration.
