Molecular basis of polymorphic drug metabolism

Abstract: Genetic polymorphisms with functional effects occur in many of the genes encoding drug metabolizing enzymes and are an important cause of adverse drug reaction. Recent advances in the understanding of the molecular genetics of drug-metabolizing enzymes, particularly the cytochromes P450, has enabled the molecular basis of several polymorphisms to be elucidated and genotyping assays using the polymerase chain reaction to be developed. Polymorphisms in this category include those in the cytochrome P450 genes CYP… Show more

“…Futhermore, cooperativity in oxidations catalysed by the enzyme was described and attributed to the existence of more than one binding site at the CYP3A4 molecule (Ueng et al 1997). Finally, the specificity of the two substrates used with respect to CYP3A5 and CYP3A7 is not clearly defined (Daly et al 1995). Both enzymes are present in human liver, although usually at much lower levels than CYP3A4 (Tateishi et al 1999).…”

“…Variations in individual metabolism often result in unexpected toxicities because drug clearance is affected by a range of factors, including genetic variation, enzyme induction (activation), and inhibition of drug metabolism. Therefore, characterization of the P450 enzyme family has been of unceasing interest for the prediction and identification of drug metabolism and drug-drug interactions for discovery, development, and clinical therapy (Gonzalez and Nebert, 1990;Daly, 1995;Nebert, 1997;Kleyn and Vesell, 1998;Evans and Relling, 1999).…”

“…Other 2D6 alleles contain point mutations resulting in one or more amino acid changes in the proteins compared with CYP2D6.1. This variety results in a range of phenotypes, from poor metabolizers with no 2D6 enzyme activity, as seen in up to 10% of Caucasians, to ultra rapid metabolizers and ranges in between (Daly, 1995;Raimundo et al, 2000;Zanger et al, 2001).…”

“…The metabolic ratios of the probe drugs vary, thus patients can be classified into 4 different genotypes; poor metabolizer (PM), intermediate metabolizer (IM), extensive metabolizer (EM), and ultra-rapid metabolizer (UM) (7). Generally, when a PM or IM patient is administered a drug that is inactivated by CYP2D6, the blood concentration and risk of side effects will be increased as compared to EM patients.…”
