Treatment-Resistance to Clozapine in Association With Ultrarapid CYP1A2 Activity and the C → A Polymorphism in Intron 1 of the CYP1A2 Gene: Effect of Grapefruit Juice and Low-Dose Fluvoxamine

Abstract: Antipsychotic response to clozapine varies markedly among patients with schizophrenia. The disposition of clozapine is dependent, in part, on the cytochrome P-450 (CYP) 1A2 enzyme in vivo. In theory, a very high CYP1A2 activity may lead to subtherapeutic concentrations and treatment resistance to clozapine. This prospective case study evaluates the clinical significance of ultrarapid CYP1A2 activity and a recently discovered single nucleotide (C --> A) polymorphism in intron 1 of the CYP1A2 gene (CYP1A2*F) for… Show more

“…Clozapine clearance was found to be significantly correlated with the 17X/137X (r ¼ 0.89, po0.0013) and the 37X/137X ratio (r ¼ 0.85, po0.0023). Very high CYP1A2 activity as indicated by a urinary caffeine metabolic ratio of 17.9 (usual range 1.9-1.47) was reported in one patient; excessive CYP1A2 activity in this patient was associated with a subtherapeutic clozapine plasma concentration of 661 nmol/l (minimum threshold 1150 nmol/ l ¼ 350 ng/ml), despite a drug dose of 850 mg/day (Ozdemir et al, 2001a). Fluvoxamine 25 mg/day, a well-known CYP1A2 inhibitor, was added to the patient's regimen and a subsequent clozapine plasma concentration of 1600 nmol/l was reached and the patient's clinical status improved.…”

“…191,192 Several studies have reported a better response to SSRIs in individuals carrying two (l)-alleles of the 44-bp insertion/deletion polymorphism in the regulatory region of the serotonin transporter (SERT). 168,169,[171][172][173][174][175]193 Two studies had contradictory results. 165,170 This discrepancy might be due to ethnic differences: the (s)-allele frequency is much higher in Orientals than in Caucasians (79 vs 42%), 194 and both studies showing an association of the (s) allele with better response were conducted in Oriental patients.…”

“…70 However, CYP1A2 polymorphisms did not significantly influence individuals' clozapine metabolic capacity, 71 although delays in response to clozapine have been observed in individuals with the UM phenotype. 72,73 Also a combination of high inducibility CYP1A2 alleles and smoking may result in higher metabolic ratios and reduced clozapine plasma levels. 74 In these cases, an adjustment of therapeutic dose is recommended.…”
