Steady-state plasma concentrations of (R)- (ie, the active form), (S)-, and (R,S)-methadone were measured in 14 addict patients in methadone maintenance treatment, before and after introduction of quetiapine, administered at a mean dosage of 138 mg/d (SD, 87 mg/d; median, 125 mg/d; range, 50-300 mg/d) during a mean period of 30 days (SD, 8 days; median, 30 days; range, 20-48 days). Eleven patients were genotyped as being CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers (EMs) and 3 patients as poor metabolizers. Eleven patients had the ABCB1 3435 CT or CC genotypes, and 3 patients had the ABCB1 3435 TT genotype, the latter genotype being associated with lower P-glycoprotein activity.

Both chloroplast trnL (UAA) intron and nuclear ribosomal ITS sequences highly confirmed the monophyly of the tribes of the Gentianaceae defined by the recent classification, and revealed the tribe Exaceae as a basal clade just next to the basal-most lineage, the tribe Saccifolieae. Within the tribe Exaceae, Sebaea (except Sebaea madagascariensis) appeared as the most basal clade as the sister group to the rest of the tribe. The Madagascan endemic genera Gentianothamnus and Tachiadenus were very closely related to each other, together standing as sister to a clade comprising Sebaea madagascariensis, Ornichia, and Exacum.
