Abstract
Dementia is a syndrome of global and progressive deterioration of cognitive skills, especially memory, learning, abstract thinking, and orientation, usually affecting the elderly. The most common forms are Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and other (frontotemporal, Lewy body disease) dementias. The etiology of these multifactorial disorders involves complex interactions of various environmental and (epi)genetic factors and requires multiple forms of pharmacological intervention, including anti-dementia drugs for cognitive impairment, antidepressants, antipsychotics, anxiolytics and sedatives for behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia, and other drugs for comorbid disorders. The pharmacotherapy of dementia patients has been characterized by a significant interindividual variability in drug response and the development of adverse drug effects. The therapeutic response to currently available drugs is partially effective in only some individuals, with side effects, drug interactions, intolerance, and non-compliance occurring in the majority of dementia patients. Therefore, understanding the genetic basis of a patient's response to pharmacotherapy might help clinicians select the most effective treatment for dementia while minimizing the likelihood of adverse reactions and drug interactions. Recent advances in pharmacogenomics may contribute to the individualization and optimization of dementia pharmacotherapy by increasing its efficacy and safety via a prediction of clinical outcomes. Thus, it can significantly improve the quality of life in dementia patients.

Abstract
Diazepam is a benzodiazepine widely prescribed for the management of patients with severe alcohol withdrawal syndrome to prevent agitation, withdrawal seizures, and delirium tremens. Despite standard dosing of diazepam, a subset of patients experience refractory withdrawal syndromes or adverse drug reactions, such as impaired motor coordination, dizziness, and slurred speech. The CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 enzymes play a key role in the biotransformation of diazepam. Given the highly polymorphic nature of the CYP2C19 gene, we reviewed the clinical impact of variants in the CYP2C19 gene on both the pharmacokinetics of diazepam and treatment outcomes related to the management of alcohol withdrawal syndrome.

Abstract
Pharmacogenetic variability in drug metabolism leads to patient vulnerability to side effects and to therapeutic failure. Our purpose was to introduce a systematic statistical methodology to estimate quantitative dose adjustments based on pharmacokinetic differences in pharmacogenetic subgroups, addressing the concerns of sparse data, incomplete information on phenotypic groups, and heterogeneity of study design. Data on psychotropic drugs metabolized by the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP2C19 were used as a case study. CYP2C19 activity scores were estimated, while statistically assessing the influence of methodological differences between studies, and used to estimate dose adjustments in genotypic groups. Modeling effects of activity scores in each substance as a population led to prudential predictions of adjustments when few data were available ('shrinkage'). The best results were obtained with the regularized horseshoe, an innovative Bayesian approach to estimate coefficients viewed as a sample from two populations. This approach was compared to modeling the population of substance as normally distributed, to a more traditional "fixed effects" approach, and to dose adjustments based on weighted means, as in current practice. Modeling strategies were able to assess the influence of study parameters and deliver adjustment levels when necessary, extrapolated to all phenotype groups, as well as their level of uncertainty. In addition, the horseshoe reacted sensitively to small study sizes, and provided conservative estimates of required adjustments.

A Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Model for Predicting Diazepam Pharmacokinetics after Intravenous, Oral, Intranasal, and Rectal Applications. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13091480.

Abstract
Diazepam is one of the most prescribed anxiolytic and anticonvulsant that is administered through intravenous (IV), oral, intramuscular, intranasal, and rectal routes. To facilitate the clinical use of diazepam, there is a need to develop formulations that are convenient to administer in ambulatory settings. The present study aimed to develop and evaluate a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for diazepam that is capable of predicting its pharmacokinetics (PK) after IV, oral, intranasal, and rectal applications using a whole-body population-based PBPK simulator, Simcyp®. The model evaluation was carried out using visual predictive checks, observed/predicted ratios (Robs/pred), and the average fold error (AFE) of PK parameters. The Diazepam PBPK model successfully predicted diazepam PK in an adult population after doses were administered through IV, oral, intranasal, and rectal routes, as the Robs/pred of all PK parameters were within a two-fold error range. The developed model can be used for the development and optimization of novel diazepam dosage forms, and it can be extended to simulate drug response in situations where no clinical data are available (healthy and disease).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling is considered a valuable tool for predicting pharmacokinetic changes in pregnancy to subsequently guide in-vivo pharmacokinetic trials in pregnant women. The objective of this study was to extend and verify a previously developed physiologically based pharmacokinetic model for pregnant women for the prediction of pharmacokinetics of drugs metabolized via several cytochrome P450 enzymes. METHODS Quantitative information on gestation-specific changes in enzyme activity available in the literature was incorporated in a pregnancy physiologically based pharmacokinetic model and the pharmacokinetics of eight drugs metabolized via one or multiple cytochrome P450 enzymes was predicted. The tested drugs were caffeine, midazolam, nifedipine, metoprolol, ondansetron, granisetron, diazepam, and metronidazole. Pharmacokinetic predictions were evaluated by comparison with in-vivo pharmacokinetic data obtained from the literature. RESULTS The pregnancy physiologically based pharmacokinetic model successfully predicted the pharmacokinetics of all tested drugs. The observed pregnancy-induced pharmacokinetic changes were qualitatively and quantitatively reasonably well predicted for all drugs. Ninety-seven percent of the mean plasma concentrations predicted in pregnant women fell within a twofold error range and 63% within a 1.25-fold error range. For all drugs, the predicted area under the concentration-time curve was within a 1.25-fold error range. CONCLUSION The presented pregnancy physiologically based pharmacokinetic model can quantitatively predict the pharmacokinetics of drugs that are metabolized via one or multiple cytochrome P450 enzymes by integrating prior knowledge of the pregnancy-related effect on these enzymes. This pregnancy physiologically based pharmacokinetic model may thus be used to identify potential exposure changes in pregnant women a priori and to eventually support informed decision making when clinical trials are designed in this special population.

Abstract
In the intensive care unit (ICU) setting, where highly variable and insufficient drug efficacies, as well as frequent and unpredictable adverse drug reactions (ADRs) occur, pharmacogenomics (PGx) offers an opportunity to improve health outcomes. However, PGx has not been fully evaluated in the ICU, partly due to lack of knowledge of how genetic markers may affect drug therapy. To fill in this gap, we conducted a review to summarize the PGx information for the medications commonly encountered in the ICU.

Abstract
Falls is a frequent type of adverse drug reactions causing significant morbidity and mortality in the elderly. We reviewed, with which drugs the risk of falls is relevant and might depend on genomic variation. Pharmacogenetic variability may contribute to drug-induced falls for instance mediated by impaired drug elimination due to inherited deficiency in enzymes like CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6. The relative role of specific genes and polymorphisms in old age may differ from younger people. Biomarkers for frailty, but also genomic biomarkers might help identifying patients at high risk for drug-induced falls. Many other factors including disease and drug-drug interactions also contribute to risk of falls. Further studies analyzing the impact of genomic variation on the medication-related fall risk in the older adult are urgently needed.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 is essential for the metabolism of clinically used drugs including omeprazole, proguanil, and S-mephenytoin. This hepatic enzyme exhibits genetic polymorphism with inter-individual variability in catalytic activity. This study aimed to characterise the functional consequences of CYP2C19*23 (271 G>C, 991 A>G) and CYP2C19*24 (991 A>G, 1004 G>A) in vitro. Mutations in CYP2C19 cDNA were introduced by site-directed mutagenesis, and the CYP2C19 wild type (WT) as well as variants proteins were subsequently expressed using Escherichia coli cells. Catalytic activities of CYP2C19 WT and those of variants were determined by high performance liquid chromatography-based essay employing S-mephenytoin and omeprazole as probe substrates. Results showed that the level of S-mephenytoin 4'-hydroxylation activity of CYP2C19*23 (V max 111.5 ± 16.0 pmol/min/mg, K m 158.3 ± 88.0 μM) protein relative to CYP2C19 WT (V max 101.6 + 12.4 pmol/min/mg, K m 123.0 ± 19.2 μM) protein had no significant difference. In contrast, the K m of CYP2C19*24 (270.1 ± 57.2 μM) increased significantly as compared to CYP2C19 WT (123.0 ± 19.2 μM) and V max of CYP2C19*24 (23.6 ± 2.6 pmol/min/mg) protein was significantly lower than that of the WT protein (101.6 ± 12.4 pmol/min/mg). In vitro intrinsic clearance (CLint = V max/K m) for CYP2C19*23 protein was 85.4 % of that of CYP2C19 WT protein. The corresponding CLint value for CYP2C19*24 protein reduced to 11.0 % of that of WT protein. These findings suggested that catalytic activity of CYP2C19 was not affected by the corresponding amino acid substitutions in CYP2C19*23 protein; and the reverse was true for CYP2C19*24 protein. When omeprazole was employed as the substrate, K m of CYP2C19*23 (1911 ± 244.73 μM) was at least 100 times higher than that of CYP2C19 WT (18.37 ± 1.64 μM) and V max of CYP2C19*23 (3.87 ± 0.74 pmol/min/mg) dropped to 13.4 % of the CYP2C19 WT (28.84 ± 0.61 pmol/min/mg) level. Derived from V max/K m, the CLint value of CYP2C19 WT was 785 folds of CYP2C19*23. K m and V max values could not be determined for CYP2C19*24 due to its low catalytic activity towards omeprazole 5'-hydroxylation. Therefore, both CYP2C19*23 and CYP2C19*24 showed marked reduced activities of metabolising omeprazole to 5-hydroxyomeprazole. Hence, carriers of CYP2C19*23 and CYP2C19*24 allele are potentially poor metabolisers of CYP2C19-mediated substrates.

Abstract
Genetic variation in drug metabolizing enzymes is an important contributor to interindividual variation in drug disposition and response and is associated with significant clinical consequences. Many commonly used drugs are dependent on the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase enzymes (CYP450) for their metabolism and elimination. At present, more than 57 active human CYP450 genes are known, and the majority of these genes are polymorphic. Despite the large number of CYP450 genes, only the CYP1, CYP2, and CYP3 families of enzymes have a major role in drug metabolism. Approximately 10 CYP450s are responsible for the metabolism of a large number of pharmacologic agents in human beings. The polymorphic forms of the CYP450s are responsible for the development of a significant number of adverse drug reactions and may also contribute to drug response. Genetic polymorphisms have now been identified in the genes encoding all the main CYP450s that contribute to drug and other xenobiotic metabolism, and there are marked interethnic differences in the distribution and frequency of variant alleles. A review of the progress in the pharmacogenetics of P450s that are important for drug metabolism is presented with particular emphasis on the clinical relevance of this research.

Abstract
This article will review the various agents affecting the central nervous system (CNS) such as the analgesics, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, antipsychotics, and benzodiazepines. Most of the research in pharmacogenetics with the CNS agents have been conducted in the antidepressants. The cytochrome 450 IID6 isozyme system has been shown to influence the disposition of the antidepressants and antipsychotics. Amitriptyline metabolism to nortriptyline and nortriptyline conversion to its 10-OH metabolite were shown to be influenced by the IID6 isozyme. Interestingly, imipramine metabolism to desipramine is only partially related to the IID6 isozyme. Biotransformation of imipramine to its 2-OH metabolite was shown to be affected by the IID6 isozyme, but its metabolism to the 10-OH remains to be investigated. Of the antipsychotic drugs, haloperidol and thioridazine are two agents most studied. Haloperidol is converted to a reduced metabolite via a ketone reductase enzyme. The reduced metabolite is oxidized back to Haloperidol. This oxidation pathway was reported to be affected by the IID6 isozyme. Thioridazine metabolism to mesoridazine and conversion of codeine to morphine appear to be also influenced by CP-450 IID6. Other 450 isozymes are reported to be involved with other CNS agents.

Abstract
PURPOSE Alcohol dependence is a public health problem worldwide, commonly associated with withdrawal symptoms for which diazepam is a frequently used drug. We studied the effect of CYP2C19 gene polymorphisms on diazepam loading dose requirement and time to reversal of acute alcohol withdrawal symptoms. We also studied the influence of the polymorphism in this gene on the persistent symptoms after loading dose of diazepam. METHODS Sixty-nine patients who reported to the psychiatry department with symptoms of alcohol withdrawal diagnosed by DSM-IV criteria were included for the study. A 10-mg loading dose of diazepam was administered iv after baseline assessment of withdrawal severity using CIWA-Ar scoring. The patients were assessed for improvement of the symptoms every two hourly and 20 mg oral diazepam was given based on improvement of symptoms. Genotyping for CYP2C19*2, CYP2C19*3 and CYP2C19*17 was done by PCR-RFLP and RT-PCR methods. RESULTS The diazepam dose requirement as well as the time required for reversal of acute symptoms was not statistically different among the different genotype groups. Similarly, the frequency of patients with persistent symptoms after successful treatment of the acute episode was not different among the groups. However, the total diazepam dose requirement was influenced by baseline CIWA-Ar scores (adjusted OR 0.21, p = 0.026). In addition, the odds of treatment with a lower dose (10 mg) of diazepam were higher in smokers (adjusted OR 5.22, p = 0.025) and patients with other addiction (adjusted OR 9.26, p = 0.026). CONCLUSION We found that CYP2C19 polymorphism did not have any significant effect on the diazepam dose requirement, time duration needed for successful treatment or on the persistent symptoms after loading dose of diazepam in South Indian population. However, diazepam dose requirement was influenced by baseline CIWA-Ar score, smoking status and other comorbid addictions.

Abstract
Use of 'party drugs', a particular set of recreational drugs used in the context of 'ChemSex', is frequent among MSM living with HIV. A recently published observational study showed that more than half of HIV-infected MSM interviewed reported use of illicit substances in the previous 3 months, with frequent concomitant use of three or more drugs. These substances are a combination of 'club drugs' (methylenedioxymethamphetamine, gamma-hydroxybutyrate, ketamine, benzodiazepine) and drugs that are more specifically used in a sexualized context (methamphetamine, mephedrone, poppers and erectile dysfunction agents). Although formal data on pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic interactions between recreational drugs and antiretroviral agents are lacking, information regarding potentially toxic interactions can be theorized or sometimes conclusions may be drawn from case studies and cohort observational studies. However, the risk of coadministering party drugs and antiretrovirals should not be overestimated. The major risk for a drug-drug interaction is when using ritonavir-boosting or cobicistat-boosting agents, and maybe some nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Knowledge of the metabolic pathways of 'party drugs' may help in advising patients on which illicit substances have a high potential for drug-drug interactions, as this is not the case for all.

Abstract
Currently, quantitative prediction of the impact of genetic polymorphism and drug-drug interactions mediated by cytochromes, based on in vivo data, is made by two separate methods and restricted to a single cytochrome. We propose a unified approach for describing the combined impact of drug-drug interactions and genetic polymorphism on drug exposure. It relies on in vivo data and uses the following three characteristic parameters: one for the victim drug, one for the interacting drug, and another for the genotype. These parameters are known for a wide range of drugs and genotypes. The metrics of interest are the ratio of victim drug area under the curve (AUC) in patients with genetic variants taking both drugs, to the AUC in patients with either variant or wild-type genotype taking the victim drug alone. The approach was evaluated by external validation, comparing predicted and observed AUC ratios found in the literature. Data were found for 22 substrates, 30 interacting drugs, and 38 substrate-interacting drug couples. The mean prediction error of AUC ratios was 0.02, and the mean prediction absolute error was 0.38 and 1.34, respectively. The model may be used to predict the variations in exposure resulting from a number of drug-drug-genotype combinations. The proposed approach will help (1) to identify comedications and population at risk, (2) to adapt dosing regimens, and (3) to prioritize the clinical pharmacokinetic studies to be done.

Abstract
Polymorphic drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) are responsible for the metabolism of the majority of psychotropic drugs. By explaining a large portion of variability in individual drug metabolism, pharmacogenetics offers a diagnostic tool in the burgeoning era of personalized medicine. This review updates existing evidence on the influence of pharmacogenetic variants on drug exposure and discusses the rationale for genetic testing in the clinical context. Dose adjustments based on pharmacogenetic knowledge are the first step to translate pharmacogenetics into clinical practice. However, also clinical factors, such as the consequences on toxicity and therapeutic failure, must be considered to provide clinical recommendations and assess the cost-effectiveness of pharmacogenetic treatment strategies. DME polymorphisms are relevant not only for clinical pharmacology and practice but also for research in psychiatry and neuroscience. Several DMEs, above all the cytochrome P (CYP) enzymes, are expressed in the brain, where they may contribute to the local biochemical homeostasis. Of particular interest is the possibility of DMEs playing a physiological role through their action on endogenous substrates, which may underlie the reported associations between genetic polymorphisms and cognitive function, personality and vulnerability to mental disorders. Neuroimaging studies have recently presented evidence of an effect of the CYP2D6 polymorphism on basic brain function. This review summarizes evidence on the effect of DME polymorphisms on brain function that adds to the well-known effects of DME polymorphisms on pharmacokinetics in explaining the range of phenotypes that are relevant to psychiatric practice.

Abstract
Cytochromes P450 (CYP) are a major source of variability in drug pharmacokinetics and response. Of 57 putatively functional human CYPs only about a dozen enzymes, belonging to the CYP1, 2, and 3 families, are responsible for the biotransformation of most foreign substances including 70-80% of all drugs in clinical use. The highest expressed forms in liver are CYPs 3A4, 2C9, 2C8, 2E1, and 1A2, while 2A6, 2D6, 2B6, 2C19 and 3A5 are less abundant and CYPs 2J2, 1A1, and 1B1 are mainly expressed extrahepatically. Expression of each CYP is influenced by a unique combination of mechanisms and factors including genetic polymorphisms, induction by xenobiotics, regulation by cytokines, hormones and during disease states, as well as sex, age, and others. Multiallelic genetic polymorphisms, which strongly depend on ethnicity, play a major role for the function of CYPs 2D6, 2C19, 2C9, 2B6, 3A5 and 2A6, and lead to distinct pharmacogenetic phenotypes termed as poor, intermediate, extensive, and ultrarapid metabolizers. For these CYPs, the evidence for clinical significance regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs), drug efficacy and dose requirement is rapidly growing. Polymorphisms in CYPs 1A1, 1A2, 2C8, 2E1, 2J2, and 3A4 are generally less predictive, but new data on CYP3A4 show that predictive variants exist and that additional variants in regulatory genes or in NADPH:cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) can have an influence. Here we review the recent progress on drug metabolism activity profiles, interindividual variability and regulation of expression, and the functional and clinical impact of genetic variation in drug metabolizing P450s.

Abstract
The prevalence of obesity in adults and children is rapidly increasing across the world. Several general (patho)physiological alterations associated with obesity have been described, but the specific impact of these alterations on drug metabolism and elimination and its consequences for drug dosing remains largely unknown. In order to broaden our knowledge of this area, we have reviewed and summarized clinical studies that reported clearance values of drugs in both obese and non-obese patients. Studies were classified according to their most important metabolic or elimination pathway. This resulted in a structured review of the impact of obesity on metabolic and elimination processes, including phase I metabolism, phase II metabolism, liver blood flow, glomerular filtration and tubular processes. This literature study shows that the influence of obesity on drug metabolism and elimination greatly differs per specific metabolic or elimination pathway. Clearance of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 substrates is lower in obese as compared with non-obese patients. In contrast, clearance of drugs primarily metabolized by uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT), glomerular filtration and/or tubular-mediated mechanisms, xanthine oxidase, N-acetyltransferase or CYP2E1 appears higher in obese versus non-obese patients. Additionally, in obese patients, trends indicating higher clearance values were seen for drugs metabolized via CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6, while studies on high-extraction-ratio drugs showed somewhat inconclusive results. Very limited information is available in obese children, which prevents a direct comparison between data obtained in obese children and obese adults. Future clinical studies, especially in children, adolescents and morbidly obese individuals, are needed to extend our knowledge in this clinically important area of adult and paediatric clinical pharmacology.

Abstract
In recent years, the growing numbers of patients seeking care for a wide range of psychiatric illnesses in the primary care setting has resulted in an increase in the number of psychotropic medications prescribed. Along with the increased utilization of psychotropic medications, considerable variability is noted in the prescribing patterns of primary care providers and psychiatrists. Because psychiatric patients also suffer from a number of additional medical comorbidities, the increased utilization of psychotropic medications presents an elevated risk of clinically significant drug interactions in these patients. While life-threatening drug interactions are rare, clinically significant drug interactions impacting drug response or appearance of serious adverse drug reactions have been documented and can impact long-term outcomes. Additionally, the impact of genetic variability on the psychotropic drug's pharmacodynamics and/or pharmacokinetics may further complicate drug therapy. Increased awareness of clinically relevant psychotropic drug interactions can aid clinicians to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes in patients in the primary care setting.

Abstract
GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS). The type A GABA receptor (GABA(A)R) system is the primary pharmacological target for many drugs used in clinical anesthesia. The α1, β2, and γ2 subunit-containing GABA(A)Rs located in the various parts of CNS are thought to be involved in versatile effects caused by inhaled anesthetics and classic benzodiazepines (BZD), both of which are widely used in clinical anesthesiology. During the past decade, the emergence of tonic inhibitory conductance in extrasynaptic GABA(A)Rs has coincided with evidence showing that these receptors are highly sensitive to the sedatives and hypnotics used in anesthesia. Anesthetic enhancement of tonic GABAergic inhibition seems to be preferentially increased in regions shown to be important in controlling memory, awareness, and sleep. This review focuses on the physiology of the GABA(A)Rs and the pharmacological properties of clinically used BZDs. Although classic BZDs are widely used in anesthesiological practice, there is a constant need for new drugs with more favorable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects and fewer side effects. New hypnotics are currently developed, and promising results for one of these, the GABA(A)R agonist remimazolam, have recently been published.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) is clinically important for the metabolism of many therapeutic drugs. CYP2C19 has two main point mutation sites leading to low metabolic capacity. Several CYP enzymes are also important for the metabolism of chemical carcinogens, and several studies have reported associations between CYP polymorphism and cancer susceptibility. Speculating on a potential association between CYP2C19 polymorphism and cancer susceptibility, we conducted this study in two phases. Cell lines of various gastroenterological cancers were screened in the first phase. A clinical investigation was then conducted to confirm the association with the candidate cancer in the second phase. METHODS Genetic polymorphism of CYP2C19 was investigated in a total of 114 cell lines of five gastroenterological cancers. Based on this screening investigation suggesting an association with biliary tract cancer, we conducted a related study by recruiting 65 patients with biliary tract cancer and 566 patients with benign diseases as controls. RESULTS Among the 114 cell lines investigated, biliary tract cancer was suggested to be most strongly associated with poor metabolizers of CYP2C19. Among 65 patients with biliary tract cancer, 18 (28%) were poor metabolizers of CYP2C19, whereas 87 (15%) of 566 control patients were poor metabolizers. The age- and gender-adjusted odds ratios for intermediate and poor metabolizers regarding the risk of biliary tract cancer were 1.5 (95% CI: 0.8-3.0, P = 0.17) and 2.7 (1.3-5.9, P = 0.006) compared to extensive metabolizers. CONCLUSIONS A genetic polymorphism of CYP2C19 is associated with susceptibility to biliary tract cancer.

Abstract
Pharmacogenetics is the study of how interindividual variations in the DNA sequence of specific genes affect drug response. This article highlights current pharmacogenetic knowledge on important human drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450s (CYPs) to understand the large interindividual variability in drug clearance and responses in clinical practice. The human CYP superfamily contains 57 functional genes and 58 pseudogenes, with members of the 1, 2, and 3 families playing an important role in the metabolism of therapeutic drugs, other xenobiotics, and some endogenous compounds. Polymorphisms in the CYP family may have had the most impact on the fate of therapeutic drugs. CYP2D6, 2C19, and 2C9 polymorphisms account for the most frequent variations in phase I metabolism of drugs, since almost 80% of drugs in use today are metabolized by these enzymes. Approximately 5-14% of Caucasians, 0-5% Africans, and 0-1% of Asians lack CYP2D6 activity, and these individuals are known as poor metabolizers. CYP2C9 is another clinically significant enzyme that demonstrates multiple genetic variants with a potentially functional impact on the efficacy and adverse effects of drugs that are mainly eliminated by this enzyme. Studies into the CYP2C9 polymorphism have highlighted the importance of the CYP2C9*2 and *3 alleles. Extensive polymorphism also occurs in other CYP genes, such as CYP1A1, 2A6, 2A13, 2C8, 3A4, and 3A5. Since several of these CYPs (e.g., CYP1A1 and 1A2) play a role in the bioactivation of many procarcinogens, polymorphisms of these enzymes may contribute to the variable susceptibility to carcinogenesis. The distribution of the common variant alleles of CYP genes varies among different ethnic populations. Pharmacogenetics has the potential to achieve optimal quality use of medicines, and to improve the efficacy and safety of both prospective and currently available drugs. Further studies are warranted to explore the gene-dose, gene-concentration, and gene-response relationships for these important drug-metabolizing CYPs.

Abstract
Pharmacogenomic (PGx) research on the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties of drugs has begun to have impact for both drug development and utilization. To provide a cross-industry perspective on the utility of ADME PGx, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) conducted a survey of major pharmaceutical companies on their PGx practices and applications during 2003-2005. This white paper summarizes and interprets the results of the survey, highlights the contributions and applications of PGx by industrial scientists as reflected by original research publications, and discusses changes in drug labels that improve drug utilization by inclusion of PGx information. In addition, the paper includes a brief review on the clinically relevant genetic variants of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters most relevant to the pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS SUBJECT The only existing study of CYP2C19*17-associated alterations in drug pharmacokinetics was retrospective and compared probe drug metabolic ratios. The CYP2C19*17 allele had been associated with a two- and fourfold decrease in omeprazole and S/R-mephenytoin metabolic ratios. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS This study characterized the single-dose pharmacokinetics of omeprazole, along with the 5-hydroxy and sulphone metabolites, in CYP2C19*17/*17 and CYP2C19*1/*1 subjects. The observed differences in omeprazole AUC(infinity) suggest that the CYP2C19*17 allele is an important explanatory factor behind individual cases of therapeutic failure. AIMS To investigate the influence of the CYP2C19*17 allele on the pharmacokinetics of omeprazole, a commonly used CYP2C19 probe drug, in healthy volunteers. METHODS In a single-dose pharmacokinetic study, 17 healthy White volunteers genotyped as either CYP2C19*17/*17 or CYP2C19*1/*1 received an oral dose of 40 mg of omeprazole. Plasma was sampled for up to 10 h postdose, followed by quantification of omeprazole, 5-hydroxy omeprazole and omeprazole sulphone by high-performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS The mean omeprazole AUC(infinity) of 1973 h nmol l(-1) in CYP2C19*17/*17 subjects was 2.1-fold lower [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1, 3.3] than in CYP2C19*1/*1 subjects (4151 h nmol l(-1), P = 0.04). A similar trend was observed for the sulphone metabolite with the CYP2C19*17/*17 group having a mean AUC(infinity) of 1083 h nmol l(-1), 3.1-fold lower (95% CI 1.2, 5.5) than the CYP2C19*1/*1 group (3343 h nmol l(-1), P = 0.03). A pronounced correlation (r(2) = 0.95, P < 0.0001) was seen in the intraindividual omeprazole AUC(infinity) and omeprazole sulphone AUC(infinity) values. CONCLUSIONS The pharmacokinetics of omeprazole and omeprazole sulphone differ significantly between homozygous CYP2C19*17 and CYP2C19*1 subjects. For clinically important drugs that are metabolized predominantly by CYP2C19, the CYP2C19*17 allele might be associated with subtherapeutic drug exposure.

Abstract
Pharmacogenetic studies have shown that several cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes exhibit genetic polymorphisms. Several benzodiazepines (BZPs) are metabolized predominantly or partly by polymorphic CYP2C19 and CYP3A4/5. The pharmacokinetics of diazepam, etizolam, quazepam and desmethylclobazam have been shown to be affected by CYP2C19 polymorphism. The CYP3A5 polymorphism has been reported to affect the pharmacokinetics of alprazolam, but its effect on midazolam kinetics has been inconclusive. For etizolam and desmethylclobazam, some data suggest that CYP2C19 deficiency leads to side-effects or toxicity. For the remaining BZPs the clinical significance of the observed pharmacokinetic changes remains unclear. Further studies on the effects of genetic polymorphisms of CYP enzymes on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of BZPs are necessary to guide treatment individualization and optimization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We assessed the effect of voriconazole and fluconazole on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of diazepam. METHODS Twelve healthy volunteers took 5 mg of oral diazepam in a randomised order on three study sessions: without pretreatment, after oral voriconazole 400 mg twice daily on the first day and 200 mg twice daily on the second day, or after oral fluconazole 400 mg on the first day and 200 mg on the second day. Plasma concentrations of diazepam and N-desmethyldiazepam were determined for up to 48 h. Pharmacodynamic variables were measured for 12 h. RESULTS In the voriconazole phase, the area under the plasma concentration time curve (AUC 0-infinity) of diazepam was increased (geometric mean ratio) 2.2-fold (p < 0.05; 90% confidence interval [CI] 1.56 to 2.82). This was associated with the prolongation of the mean elimination half-life (t(1/2)) from 31 h to 61 h (p < 0.01) after voriconazole. In the fluconazole phase, the AUC 0-infinity of diazepam was increased 2.5-fold (p < 0.01; 90% CI 1.94 to 3.40), and the t(1/2) was prolonged from 31 h to 73 h (p < 0.001). The peak plasma concentration of diazepam was practically unchanged by voriconazole and fluconazole. The pharmacodynamics of diazepam were changed only modestly. CONCLUSION Both voriconazole and fluconazole considerably increase the exposure to diazepam. Recurrent administration of diazepam increases the risk of clinically significant interactions during voriconazole or fluconazole treatment, because the elimination of diazepam is impaired significantly.

Abstract
Erratic or unpredictable response to drugs remains a challenge of modern drug therapy. An important determinant of such interindividual differences in drug response is variability in the expression of drug-metabolizing enzymes and/or transporters at sites of absorption and/or tissue distribution. Variable drug-metabolizing enzyme and transporter expression can result in unpredictable exposure and tissue distribution of drugs and may manifest as adverse effects or therapeutic failure. In the past decade, important new insights have been made relating to the regulatory mechanisms governing the expression of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters by ligand-activated nuclear receptors. Specifically, there is compelling evidence to demonstrate that PXR, CAR, FXR, LXR, VDR, HNF4alpha, and AhR form a battery of nuclear receptors that regulate the expression of many important drug-metabolizing enzyme and transporters. In this review, the authors focus on clinically important drug-metabolizing enzymes such as CYP3A4, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, UGT1A1, SULT2A1, and glutathione S-transferases and their regulation by nuclear receptors. They also review the nuclear receptor-mediated regulation of drug transporters such as MDR1, MRP2, MRP4, BSEP, BCRP, NTCP, OATP1B3, and OATP1A2. Finally, they outline how the drug development process has been affected by the current understanding of the involvement of nuclear receptors in the regulation of drug disposition genes.

Abstract
Several different factors, including pharmacogenetics, contribute to interindividual variability in drug response. Like most other agents, many antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are metabolised by a variety of enzymatic reactions, and the cytochrome P450 (CYP) superfamily has attracted considerable attention. Some of those CYPs exist in the form of genetic (allelic) variants, which may also affect the plasma concentrations or drug exposure (area under the plasma concentration-time curve [AUC]) of AEDs. With regard to the metabolism of AEDs, the polymorphic CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 are of interest. This review summarises the evidence as to whether such polymorphisms affect the clinical action of AEDs. In the case of mephenytoin, defects in its metabolism may be attributable to >10 mutated alleles (designated as *2, *3 and others) of the gene expressing CYP2C19. Consequently, poor metabolisers (PMs) and extensive metabolisers (EMs) could be differentiated, whose frequencies vary among ethnic populations. CYP2C19 contributes to the metabolism of diazepam and phenytoin, the latter drug also representing a substrate of CYP2C9, with its predominant variants being defined as *2 and *3. For both AEDs, there is maximally a 2-fold difference in the hepatic elimination rate (e.g. clearance) or the AUC between the extremes of EMs and PMs which, in the case of phenytoin (an AED with a narrow 'therapeutic window'), would suggest a dosage reduction only for patients who are carriers of mutated alleles of both CYP2C19 and CYP2C9, a subgroup that is very rare among Caucasians (about 1% of the population) but more frequent in Asians (about 10%). The minor contribution of CYP2C19 to the metabolism of phenobarbital (phenobarbitone) can be overlooked. In rare cases, valproic acid can be metabolised to the reactive (hepatotoxic) metabolite, 4-ene-valproic acid. It is not yet clear whether genetic variants of the involved enzyme (CYP2C9) are responsible for this problem. Likewise, the active metabolite of carbamazepine, carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide, is transformed by the microsomal epoxide hydrolase, an enzyme that is also highly polymorphic, but the pharmacokinetic and clinical consequences still need to be evaluated. Pharmacogenetic investigations have increased our general knowledge of drug disposition and action. As for old and especially new AEDs the pharmacogenetic influence on their metabolism is not very striking, it is not surprising that there are no treatment guidelines taking pharmacogenetic data into account. Therefore, the traditional and validated therapeutic drug monitoring approach, representing a direct 'phenotype' assessment, still remains the method of choice when an individualised dosing regimen is anticipated. Nevertheless, pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics can offer some novel contributions when attempts are made to maximise drug efficacy and enhance drug safety.

Abstract
1. CYP2C19 is a polymorphism of cytochrome P450, which is responsible for the metabolism of many drugs. The genetic polymorphism shows interethnic variation and it has been demonstrated that the frequency of poor metabolizers (PM) and the distribution of alleles of CYP2C19 vary among Chinese ethnic nationalities. The aim of the present study was to investigate the incidence of CYP2C19 polymorphism in the Chinese Li population. 2. One hundred and sixty-five unrelated healthy Li subjects were identified with respect to CYP2C19 by genotype and phenotype analysis. A polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method was performed for genotyping. The plasma concentrations of omeprazole and 5-hydroxyomeprazole were assayed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and the omeprazole hydroxylation index (HI) was determined. 3. The frequency distribution of omeprazole HI is bimodal and the antimode for HI was estimated to be 5.6. The prevalence of phenotypic PM in the Li population was 16.6% (13.7-19.5; 95% CI). Genotype analysis revealed that the frequencies of the CYP2C19*1, *2 and *3 alleles in the Li population were 0.617 (0.590-0.644; 95% CI), 0.353 (0.327-0.379; 95% CI) and 0.031 (0.021-0.041; 95% CI), respectively. The frequency of genotypic PM was 14.7% (11.9-17.5; 95% CI), which almost agreed with the frequency of phenotypic PM. Omeprazole HI was significantly different among the different genotype groups (P < 0.05). 4. The present study revealed that the incidence of the CYP2C19*1, *2 and *3 alleles in Chinese Li population is different to that in other ethnic populations of China. There was an obvious relationship between CYP2C19 genotype and omeprazole hydroxylation phenotype, and about 90% of phenotypic PM can be explained by the CYP2C19*2 and *3 alleles.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Quazepam, nitrazepam and diazepam are administered under fed or fasted conditions for insomnia or anxiety disorder. Light bedtime food may have clinically relevant effects on the plasma levels of those drugs and hence on psychomotor performance. This study assessed the effect of light food on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of these drugs. METHOD Twenty-one eligible subjects were randomized to one of three groups of seven subjects: quazepam 20 mg, diazepam 5 mg or nitrazepam 5 mg. Each healthy subject took a single oral dose of the assigned drug after overnight fasting and after light food, on a separate occasion. Blood samples were collected until 72 h after dosing. The plasma samples were assayed using high-pressure liquid chromatography with spectrophotometric detection. Reaction time, critical flicker fusion test and visual analogue scales were conducted. RESULTS The peak plasma concentration (C(max)) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of quazepam with light food were 1.2-fold [90% confidence interval (CI): 1.1-1.5; P < 0.05] and 1.5-fold (90% CI: 1.3-1.9; P < 0.05) higher than that without light food, respectively. For nitrazepam and diazepam, the time to peak was delayed about 1 h in fed condition (P > 0.05). However it had no effect on their C(max) and AUC. Reaction time of quazepam with light food was prolonged at 4 and 6 h after dosing and its area under the effect-time curve from 0 to 10 h was increased (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Light food increased the bioavailability of quazepam and affected psychomotor performance. Light food delayed T(max) of nitrazepam and diazepam but had no effect on C(max) and AUC.

Abstract
It has been suggested that personality traits are heritable. The polymorphic cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 metabolizes sex hormones and 5-hydroxytryptamine, which are involved in multiple brain functions. In the present study, the relationship between the CYP2C19 polymorphism and personality traits was examined in 487 Japanese healthy volunteers. Personality traits were assessed by the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), and the two mutated alleles causing absent CYP2C19 activity were identified by a PCR-RFLP method. In females, the scores of reward dependence (p=0.026), cooperativeness (p=0.001), and self-transcendence (ST) (p=0.049) were significantly lower in poor metabolizers (PMs) than in extensive metabolizers (EMs). In males, none of the seven TCI dimensions was significantly different between EMs and PMs. The present study thus suggests that the CYP2C19 polymorphism affects personality traits of Japanese females.

Abstract
The application of pharmacogenetics holds great promise for individualized therapy. However, it has little clinical reality at present, despite many claims. The main problem is that the evidence base supporting genetic testing before therapy is weak. The pharmacology of the drugs subject to inherited variability in metabolism is often complex. Few have simple or single pathways of elimination. Some have active metabolites or enantiomers with different activities and pathways of elimination. Drug dosing is likely to be influenced only if the aggregate molar activity of all active moieties at the site of action is predictably affected by genotype or phenotype. Variation in drug concentration must be significant enough to provide "signal" over and above normal variation, and there must be a genuine concentration-effect relationship. The therapeutic index of the drug will also influence test utility. After considering all of these factors, the benefits of prospective testing need to be weighed against the costs and against other endpoints of effect. It is not surprising that few drugs satisfy these requirements. Drugs (and enzymes) for which there is a reasonable evidence base supporting genotyping or phenotyping include suxamethonium/mivacurium (butyrylcholinesterase), and azathioprine/6-mercaptopurine (thiopurine methyltransferase). Drugs for which there is a potential case for prospective testing include warfarin (CYP2C9), perhexiline (CYP2D6), and perhaps the proton pump inhibitors (CYP2C19). No other drugs have an evidence base that is sufficient to justify prospective testing at present, although some warrant further evaluation. In this review we summarize the current evidence base for pharmacogenetics in relation to drug-metabolizing enzymes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The effect of lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) administration on cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme activity was quantified using a phenotyping biomarker cocktail. Changes in CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP3A, CYP1A2, N-acetyltransferase-2 (NAT-2), and xanthine oxidase (XO) activities were evaluated using warfarin (WARF) + vitamin K, omeprazole (OMP), intravenous (IV) and oral (PO) midazolam (MDZ), and caffeine (CAF). DESIGN : Open-label, multiple-dose, pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers. METHODS Subjects (n = 14) simultaneously received PO WARF 10 mg, vitamin K 10 mg, OMP 40 mg, CAF 2 mg/kg, and IV MDZ 0.025 mg/kg on days (D) 1 and 14, and PO MDZ 5 mg on D2 and D15. LPV/r (400/100 mg twice daily) was administered on D4-17. CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 activities were quantified by S-WARF AUC0-inf and OMP/5-hydroxy OMP ratio, respectively. CYP1A2, NAT-2, and XO activities were quantified by urinary CAF metabolite ratios. Hepatic and intestinal + hepatic CYP3A activities were quantified by IV (CL) and PO (CL/F) MDZ clearance, respectively. RESULTS After LPV/r therapy, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP1A2 activity increased by 29%, 100%, and 43% (P = 0.001, 0.046, and 0.001), respectively. No changes were seen in NAT-2 or XO activity. Hepatic and intestinal + hepatic CYP3A activity decreased by 77% (P < 0.001) and 92% (P = 0.001), respectively. CONCLUSION LPV/r therapy results in modest induction of CYP1A2 and CYP2C9 and potent induction of CYP2C19 activity. Increasing doses of concomitant medications metabolized by these enzymes may be necessary. LPV/r inhibited intestinal CYP3A to a greater extent than hepatic CYP3A activity. Doses of concomitant CYP3A substrates should be reduced when combined with LPV/r, although intravenously administered compounds may require less of a relative dose reduction than orally administered compounds.

Abstract
CYP2C19 is a clinically important enzyme involved in the metabolism of therapeutic drugs such as (S)-mephenytoin, omeprazole, proguanil, and diazepam. Individuals can be characterized as either extensive metabolizers (EM) or poor metabolizers (PM) on the basis of CYP2C19 enzyme activity. The PM phenotype occurs in 2-5% of Caucasian populations, but at higher frequencies (18-23%) in Asians. CYP2C19*2 and CYP2C19*3, which are single-nucleotide polymorphisms of CYP2C19, are the main cause of PM phenotyping in homozygotes or compound heterozygotes. We report two novel mutations in the CYP2C19 gene identified by direct sequencing and subcloning procedures. One of these mutations was considered to be CYP2C19*3 by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). This result suggests that mutations classed as CYP2C19*3 might include other mutations. Further studies are needed to clarify the relationship between these novel mutations and enzyme activity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 activity on the single-dose pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of etizolam. METHODS The subjects were 21 healthy Japanese volunteers. The two mutated alleles (CYP2C19*2 and CYP2C19*3) causing absent CYP2C19 activity were identified by a polymerase chain reaction method. Twelve subjects were extensive metabolizers (EMs) with no or one mutated allele, and nine subjects were poor metabolizers (PMs) with two mutated alleles. The subjects received a single oral 1-mg dose of etizolam, and blood samplings and evaluation of psychomotor function were conducted up to 24 h after dosing. RESULTS The PMs had significantly larger total area under the plasma concentration-time curve (287+/-74 vs 178+/-122 ng.h/ml, p<0.05) and longer elimination half-life (14.8+/-4.2 vs 10.5+/-3.9 h, p<0.05) of etizolam than the EMs. The area under the score-time curve from 0 to 8 h of the Stanford Sleepiness Scale was significantly larger in the PMs than in EMs (28.9+/-5.2 vs 22.9+/-6.9 score.h, p<0.05). CONCLUSION The present study suggests that the single-dose pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of etizolam are influenced by polymorphic CYP2C19 activity.

Abstract
Interethnic variability in pharmacokinetics can cause unexpected outcomes such as therapeutic failure, adverse effects, and toxicity in subjects of different ethnic origin undergoing medical treatment. It is important to realize that both genetic and environmental factors can lead to these differences among ethnic groups. The International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) published a guidance to facilitate the registration of drugs among ICH regions (European Union, Japan, the United States) by recommending a framework for evaluating the impact of ethnic factors on a drug's effect, as well as its efficacy and safety at a particular dosage and dosage regimen. This review focuses on the pharmacokinetic differences between East Asians and Caucasians. Differences in metabolism between East Asians and Caucasians are common, especially in the activity of several phase I enzymes such as CYP2D6 and the CYP2C subfamily. Before drug therapy, identification of either the genotype and/or the phenotype for these enzymes may be of therapeutic value, particularly for drugs with a narrow therapeutic index. Furthermore, these differences are relevant for international drug approval when regulatory agencies must decide if they accept results from clinical trials performed in other parts of the world.

Abstract
The effects of cytochrome P450 (CYP)2C19 activity and cigarette smoking on the single oral dose pharmacokinetics of quazepam were studied in 20 healthy Japanese volunteers. Twelve subjects were extensive metabolizers (EMs), and 8 subjects were poor metabolizers (PMs) by CYP2C19 as determined by the PCR-based genotyping. Nine subjects were smokers (>10 cigarettes/d), and 11 subjects were nonsmokers. The subjects received a single oral 20-mg dose of quazepam, and blood samplings and evaluation of psychomotor function were conducted up to 72 hours after dosing. Plasma concentrations of quazepam and its active metabolite 2-oxoquazepam (OQ) were measured by HPLC. There were significant differences between EMs and PMs in the peak plasma concentration (mean +/- SD: 34.5 +/- 16.6 versus 66.2 +/- 19.2 ng/mL, P < 0.01) and total area under the plasma concentration-time curve (490.1 +/- 277.5 vs 812.1 +/- 267.2 ng x h/mL, P < 0.05) of quazepam. The pharmacokinetic parameters of OQ and pharmacodynamic parameters were not different between the 2 groups. Smoking status did not affect the pharmacokinetic parameters of quazepam and OQ or pharmacodynamic parameters. The present study suggests that the single oral dose pharmacokinetics of quazepam are influenced by CYP2C19 activity but not by cigarette smoking.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the reliability of omeprazole as a marker for CYP2C19 activity in Chinese subjects. In 27 healthy male Chinese subjects, the CYP2C19 phenotype was first determined with the standard mephenytoin hydroxylation index (HI) method. Subsequently, the subjects were randomized in a three-way crossover manner to receive an oral 40-mg dose from each of three omeprazole formulations (as part of a bioequivalence study). Multiple blood samples were obtained over 12 hours, and plasma concentrations of omeprazole, 5-hydroxyomeprazole, and omeprazole sulfone were determined by a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. Individual CYP2C19 genotype was determined by the polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism method. To assess the specificity for CYP2C19 activity, the hydroxylation metabolic ratio (MR) of omeprazole (AUC(omeprazole)/AUC(5-hydroxyomeprazole)) was compared to mephenytoin HI and related to CYP2C19 genotype status. The inter- and intrasubject variabilities of MR were also calculated, and their magnitudes were compared. The intersubject MR varied more than 20 fold. Among the subjects, there was a gene-dose effect, and the mean MR was 1.76, 3.45, and 33.08, respectively, in the homozygous extensive metabolizers (wt/wt, n = 9), heterozygous extensive metabolizers (wt/m1 or wt/m2, n = 10), and poor metabolizers (m1/m1 or m1/m2, n = 7). However, the coefficients of variation for intrasubject MR only ranged from 4.5% to 33.7% over the three periods with the three formulations. The phenotype based on MR was concordant with HI. In view of the clear gene-dose effect, concordance with mephenytoin HI, and low intrasubject variability, omeprazole MR following a 40-mg oral dose can be considered as a specific and sensitive marker for CYP2C19 activity in Chinese subjects.
