“…The principal enzymes with polymorphic variants involved in phase I reactions are the Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYP3A4/5/7, CYP2E1, CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP2C8, CYP2B6, CYP2A6, CYP1B1, CYP1A1/2), and other enzymes such as epoxide hydrolase, esterases, NQO1 (NADPH-Quinone Oxidoreductase), DPD (Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase), ADH (Alcohol Dehydrogenase), and ALDH (Aldehyde Dehydrogenase); and major enzymes involved in phase II reactions include UGTs (Uridine 5'-Triphosphate Glucuronosyl Transferases), TPMT (Thiopurine Methyltransferase), COMT (Catechol-O-Methyltransferase), HMT (Histamine Methyl-Transferase), STs (Sulfotransferases), GST-A (Glutathione S-Transferase A), GST-P, GST-T, GST-M, NAT1 (N-Acetyl Transferase 1), NAT2, and others. Among these enzymes, CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4/5 are the most relevant in the pharmacogenetics of Central Nervous System (CNS) drugs in general, and antidepressants in particular [1,4,17,18]. Approximately, 18% of neuroleptics are major substrates of CYP1A2 enzymes, 40% of CYP2D6, and 23% of CYP3A4; 24% of antidepressants are major substrates of CYP1A2 enzymes, 5% of CYP2B6, 38% of CYP2C19, 85% of CYP2D6, and 38% of CYP3A4; 7% of benzodiazepines are major substrates of CYP2C19 enzymes, 20% of CYP2D6, and 95% of CYP3A4.…”
