Abstract
Precision medicine uses innovative approaches to improve disease prevention and treatment outcomes by taking into account people's genetic backgrounds, environments, and lifestyles. Treatment of depression is particularly challenging, given that 30-50% of patients do not respond adequately to antidepressants, while those who respond may experience unpleasant adverse drug reactions (ADRs) that decrease their quality of life and compliance. This chapter aims to present the available scientific data that focus on the impact of genetic variants on the efficacy and toxicity of antidepressants. We compiled data from candidate gene and genome-wide association studies that investigated associations between pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic genes and response to antidepressants regarding symptom improvement and ADRs. We also summarized the existing pharmacogenetic-based treatment guidelines for antidepressants, used to guide the selection of the right antidepressant and its dose based on the patient's genetic profile, aiming to achieve maximum efficacy and minimum toxicity. Finally, we reviewed the clinical implementation of pharmacogenomics studies focusing on patients on antidepressants. The available data demonstrate that precision medicine can increase the efficacy of antidepressants and reduce the occurrence of ADRs and ultimately improve patients' quality of life.

Abstract
The cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) genotype is the single most important determinant of CYP2D6 activity as well as interindividual and interpopulation variability in CYP2D6 activity. Here, the CYP2D6 activity score provides an established tool to categorize the large number of CYP2D6 alleles by activity and facilitates the process of genotype-to-phenotype translation. Compared to the broad traditional phenotype categories, the CYP2D6 activity score additionally serves as a superior scale of CYP2D6 activity due to its finer graduation. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models have been successfully used to describe and predict the activity score-dependent metabolism of CYP2D6 substrates. This study aimed to describe CYP2D6 drug–gene interactions (DGIs) of important CYP2D6 substrates paroxetine, atomoxetine and risperidone by developing a substrate-independent approach to model their activity score-dependent metabolism. The models were developed in PK-Sim®, using a total of 57 plasma concentration–time profiles, and showed good performance, especially in DGI scenarios where 10/12, 5/5 and 7/7 of DGI AUClast ratios and 9/12, 5/5 and 7/7 of DGI Cmax ratios were within the prediction success limits. Finally, the models were used to predict their compound’s exposure for different CYP2D6 activity scores during steady state. Here, predicted DGI AUCss ratios were 3.4, 13.6 and 2.0 (poor metabolizers; activity score = 0) and 0.2, 0.5 and 0.95 (ultrarapid metabolizers; activity score = 3) for paroxetine, atomoxetine and risperidone active moiety (risperidone + 9-hydroxyrisperidone), respectively.

Abstract
Objectives: More than 40 drugs are available to treat affective disorders. Individual selection of the optimal drug and dose is required to attain the highest possible efficacy and acceptable tolerability for every patient.Methods: This review, which includes more than 500 articles selected by 30 experts, combines relevant knowledge on studies investigating the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and pharmacogenetics of 33 antidepressant drugs and of 4 drugs approved for augmentation in cases of insufficient response to antidepressant monotherapy. Such studies typically measure drug concentrations in blood (i.e. therapeutic drug monitoring) and genotype relevant genetic polymorphisms of enzymes, transporters or receptors involved in drug metabolism or mechanism of action. Imaging studies, primarily positron emission tomography that relates drug concentrations in blood and radioligand binding, are considered to quantify target structure occupancy by the antidepressant drugs in vivo. Results: Evidence is given that in vivo imaging, therapeutic drug monitoring and genotyping and/or phenotyping of drug metabolising enzymes should be an integral part in the development of any new antidepressant drug.Conclusions: To guide antidepressant drug therapy in everyday practice, there are multiple indications such as uncertain adherence, polypharmacy, nonresponse and/or adverse reactions under therapeutically recommended doses, where therapeutic drug monitoring and cytochrome P450 genotyping and/or phenotyping should be applied as valid tools of precision medicine.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Precise estimation of the drug metabolism capacity for individual patients is crucial for adequate dose personalization. OBJECTIVE To quantify the difference in the antipsychotic and antidepressant exposure among patients with genetically associated CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 poor (PM), intermediate (IM), and normal (NM) metabolizers. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Clinicaltrialsregister.eu, ClinicalTrials.gov, International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, and CENTRAL databases were screened for studies from January 1, 1990, to June 30, 2020, with no language restrictions. STUDY SELECTION Two independent reviewers performed study screening and assessed the following inclusion criteria: (1) appropriate CYP2C19 or CYP2D6 genotyping was performed, (2) genotype-based classification into CYP2C19 or CYP2D6 NM, IM, and PM categories was possible, and (3) 3 patients per metabolizer category were available. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS The Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines were followed for extracting data and quality, validity, and risk of bias assessments. A fixed-effects model was used for pooling the effect sizes of the included studies. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Drug exposure was measured as (1) dose-normalized area under the plasma level (time) curve, (2) dose-normalized steady-state plasma level, or (3) reciprocal apparent total drug clearance. The ratio of means (RoM) was calculated by dividing the mean drug exposure for PM, IM, or pooled PM plus IM categories by the mean drug exposure for the NM category. RESULTS Based on the data derived from 94 unique studies and 8379 unique individuals, the most profound differences were observed in the patients treated with aripiprazole (CYP2D6 PM plus IM vs NM RoM, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.41-1.57; 12 studies; 1038 patients), haloperidol lactate (CYP2D6 PM vs NM RoM, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.40-2.02; 9 studies; 423 patients), risperidone (CYP2D6 PM plus IM vs NM RoM, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.28-1.44; 23 studies; 1492 patients), escitalopram oxalate (CYP2C19 PM vs NM, RoM, 2.63; 95% CI, 2.40-2.89; 4 studies; 1262 patients), and sertraline hydrochloride (CYP2C19 IM vs NM RoM, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.27-1.51; 3 studies; 917 patients). Exposure differences were also observed for clozapine, quetiapine fumarate, amitriptyline hydrochloride, mirtazapine, nortriptyline hydrochloride, fluoxetine hydrochloride, fluvoxamine maleate, paroxetine hydrochloride, and venlafaxine hydrochloride; however, these differences were marginal, ambiguous, or based on less than 3 independent studies. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this systematic review and meta-analysis, the association between CYP2C19/CYP2D6 genotype and drug levels of several psychiatric drugs was quantified with sufficient precision as to be useful as a scientific foundation for CYP2D6/CYP2C19 genotype-based dosing recommendations.

Abstract
We performed a double-blinded, genotype-based stratification study to explore the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of amitriptyline according to CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 genotype in Korean subjects. Twenty-four healthy adults were grouped by genotype of CYP2C19 and CYP2D6. After a single dose of 25 mg of amitriptyline, blood samples were collected and anticholinergic effects were measured. The extent of N-demethylation of amitriptyline significantly decreased in subjects carrying two nonfunctional alleles of CYP2C19. The extent of hydroxylation of amitriptyline or nortriptyline was significantly reduced in subjects carrying two CYP2D6 decreased functional alleles compared with those with no or one decreased functional allele. The overall metabolic pathway of amitriptyline was more likely to be dominated by CYP2C19 than CYP2D6. The gene variations of CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 did not change the pharmacodynamic effect. The findings of this study will provide useful information on individualized drug treatment with amitriptyline considering both CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 gene variations.

Abstract
Puerto Ricans are a unique Hispanic population with European, Native American (Taino), and higher West African ancestral contributions than other non-Caribbean Hispanics. In admixed populations, such as Puerto Ricans, genetic variants can be found at different frequencies when compared to parental populations and uniquely combined and distributed. Therefore, in this review, we aimed to collect data from studies conducted in healthy Puerto Ricans and to report the frequencies of genetic polymorphisms with major relevance in drug response. Filtering for healthy volunteers or individuals, we performed a search of pharmacogenetic studies in academic literature databases without limiting the period of the results. The search was limited to Puerto Ricans living in the island, excluding those studies performed in mainland (United States). We found that the genetic markers impacting pharmacological therapy in the areas of cardiovascular, oncology, and neurology are the most frequently investigated. Coincidently, the top causes of mortality in the island are cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and stroke. In addition, polymorphisms in genes that encode for members of the CYP450 family (CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6) are also available due to their relevance in the metabolism of drugs. The complex genetic background of Puerto Ricans is responsible for the divergence in the reported allele frequencies when compared to parental populations (Africans, East Asians, and Europeans). The importance of reporting the findings of pharmacogenetic studies conducted in Puerto Ricans is to identify genetic variants with potential utility among this genetically complex population and eventually move forward the adoption of personalized medicine in the island.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although the reduced function of the cytochrome P450 2D6*10 (CYP2D6*10) allele is common among Asian populations, existing evidence does not support paroxetine therapy adjustments for patients who have the CYP2D6*10 allele. In this study, we attempted to evaluate the degree of the impact of different CYP2D6 genotypes on the pharmacokinetic (PK) variability of paroxetine in a Japanese population using a population PK approach. METHODS This retrospective study included 179 Japanese patients with major depressive disorder who were being treated with paroxetine. CYP2D6*1, *2, *5, *10, and *41 polymorphisms were observed. A total of 306 steady-state concentrations for paroxetine were collected from the patients. A nonlinear mixed-effects model identified the apparent Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) and the maximum velocity (Vmax) of paroxetine; the covariates included CYP2D6 genotypes, patient age, body weight, sex, and daily paroxetine dose. RESULTS The allele frequencies of CYP2D6*1, *2, *5, *10, and *41 were 39.4, 14.5, 4.5, 41.1, and 0.6%, respectively. There was no poor metabolizer who had two nonfunctional CYP2D6*5 alleles. A one-compartment model showed that the apparent Km value was decreased by 20.6% in patients with the CYP2D6*10/*10 genotype in comparison with the other CYP2D6 genotypes. Female sex also influenced the apparent Km values. No PK parameters were affected by the presence of one CYP2D6*5 allele. CONCLUSION Unexpectedly, elimination was accelerated in individuals with the CYP2D6*10/*10 genotype. Our results show that the presence of one CYP2D6*5 allele or that of any CYP2D6*10 allele may have no major effect on paroxetine PKs in the steady state.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this article is to review the field of clinically relevant pharmacogenetic effects of cytochrome P450 polymorphisms on metabolism, kinetics, and action of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). AREAS COVERED The relevant literature in humans on the implications of genetic variation on SSRI drug exposure, drug safety, and efficacy was systematically evaluated. There is a large amount of evidence on the influences of CYP polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetics of SSRIs. Regulatory agencies have issued warnings or advice considering dose adjustments in the presence of affected metabolic phenotypes for several SSRIs. Evidence-based dose adjustments for drugs dependent on CYP genotype are available to clinicians. However, few data on the relationship between genetically determined elevated plasma concentrations of SSRIs and specific side effects or therapeutic failure are currently available. EXPERT OPINION Genetic polymorphisms in CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 exert large influences on the individual exposure to SSRIs, leading to the aim to achieve similar concentration time courses in different metabolizer phenotypes. The implementation of a stratified approach to medication with SSRIs in different metabolic phenotypes on a rational basis will require new studies assessing the association between clinical outcomes (such as adverse reactions) and genetically determined elevated plasma concentrations.

Abstract
It has been suggested that the reduced function allele with reduced cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 activity, CYP2D6*10, is associated with the interindividual differences in the plasma paroxetine concentrations, but there is no data presently available regarding the influence of the CYP2D6*10 polymorphism on the pharmacokinetic parameters, eg, Michaelis–Menten constant (Km) and maximum velocity (Vmax), in Asian populations. The present study investigated the effects of the CYP2D6 polymorphisms, including CYP2D6*10, on the pharmacokinetic parameters of paroxetine in Japanese patients with major depressive disorders. This retrospective study included 15 Japanese patients with major depressive disorders (four males and eleven females) who were treated with paroxetine. The CYP2D6*2, CYP2D6*4, CYP2D6*5, CYP2D6*10, CYP2D6*18, CYP2D6*39, and CYP2D6*41 polymorphisms were evaluated. A total of 56 blood samples were collected from the patients. The Km and Vmax values of paroxetine were estimated for each patient. The allele frequencies of CYP2D6*2, CYP2D6*4, CYP2D6*5, CYP2D6*10, CYP2D6*18, CYP2D6*39, and CYP2D6*41 were 6.7%, 0%, 10.0%, 56.7%, 0%, 26.7%, and 0%, respectively. The mean values of Km and Vmax were 50.5±68.4 ng/mL and 50.6±18.8 mg/day, respectively. Both the Km and Vmax values were significantly smaller in CYP2D6*10 allele carriers than in the noncarriers (24.2±18.3 ng/mL versus 122.5±106.3 ng/mL, P=0.008; 44.2±16.1 mg/day versus 68.3±15.0 mg/day, P=0.022, respectively). This is the first study to demonstrate that the CYP2D6*10 polymorphism could affect the nonlinear pharmacokinetic parameter estimates of paroxetine in Asian populations. The findings of this study suggest that the CYP2D6*10 polymorphism may be associated with the smaller values of both the Km and Vmax in Japanese patients with major depressive disorders, and these results need to be confirmed in further investigations with a larger number of patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This cross-sectional study was aimed at determining the allele frequencies for the CYP2C19*2, CYP2C19*3, CYP2D6*10 and PON1 (rs662) polymorphisms in the Puerto Rican population. The CYP2C19, CYP2D6 and PON1 genes are known to be associated with functional changes in drug metabolism and activation. Individuals carrying the aforementioned polymorphisms are at a higher risk of suffering from drug-induced adverse events and/ or unresponsiveness from a variety of drugs that includes antidepressants, atypical antipsychotics and antiplatelet compounds. Information on the frequency of these polymorphisms is more commonly found on homogeneous populations, but is scarce in highly heterogeneous populations like Hispanics, as in the case of Puerto Ricans. METHOD Genotyping was carried out in 100 genomic DNA samples from dried blood spots supplied by the Puerto Rican Newborn Screening program using Taqman® Genotyping Assays. RESULTS The Minor Allele Frequencies (MAF) obtained were 9% for CYP2C19*2 and CYP2D6*10, 50% for PON1 (rs662), while the CYP2C19*3 variant was not detected in our study. Furthermore, Hardy Weinberg equilibrium analysis was assessed as well as a comparison between Puerto Rico and other reference populations using a Z-test for proportions. CONCLUSION The observed allele and genotype frequencies on these relevant pharmacogenes in Puerto Ricans were more closely related to those early reported in two other reference populations of Americans (Mexicans and Colombians).

Abstract
Case reports and pharmacologic theory suggest that some antidepressants can interfere with the hepatic metabolism of metoprolol by cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6), potentially increasing the risk of bradycardia. The objective of this study was to characterize the clinical consequences of this potential drug interaction at the population level. We conducted a population-based, nested case-control study of Ontario residents 66 years of age or older receiving metoprolol. Cases hospitalized for bradycardia were compared with matched controls (4:1) to explore the odds ratio for initiation of antidepressants that inhibit CYP2D6 (fluoxetine and paroxetine) and those that do not inhibit CYP2D6 (fluvoxamine, citalopram, venlafaxine, and sertraline) 30 days before hospitalization. From April 1997 to March 2009, we identified 332,254 older patients continuously receiving metoprolol, of whom 8232 (2.5%) were treated in hospital for bradycardia. The adjusted odds ratio for exposure to fluoxetine or paroxetine compared with other antidepressants 30 days prior to hospitalization for bradycardia was 0.76 (95% confidence interval 0.42-1.37). Among older patients receiving metoprolol, the initiation of antidepressants that inhibit CYP2D6 was not associated with a significant increase in the risk of bradycardia compared with antidepressants that do not inhibit CYP2D6.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are the major enzymes responsible for Phase I reactions in the metabolism of several substances, including antidepressant medications. Thus, it has been hypothesized that variants in the CYP network may influence antidepressant efficacy and safety. Nonetheless, data on this field are still contradictory. The authors aim to give an overview of the published studies analyzing the influence of CYP highly polymorphic loci on antidepressant treatment in order to translate the acquired knowledge to a clinical level. AREAS COVERED The authors collected and compared experimental works and reviews published from the 1980s to the present and included in the Medline database. The included studies pertain to the effects of CYP gene polymorphisms on antidepressant pharmacokinetic parameters and clinical outcomes (response and drug-related adverse effects), with a focus on applications in clinical practice. The authors focused mainly on in vivo studies in humans (patients or healthy volunteers). EXPERT OPINION Great variability in antidepressant metabolism among individuals has been demonstrated. Thus, with the current interest in individualized medicine, several genetic tests to detect CYP variants have been produced. They provide a potentially useful way to anticipate some clinical outcomes of antidepressant treatment, although they will only be extensively used in clinical practice if precise and specific treatment options and guidelines based on genetic tests can be provided.

Abstract
Recent progress with declines in mortality in some high-income countries has obscured the fact that for the majority of women worldwide who are newly diagnosed, breast cancer is a neglected disease in the context of other numerically more frequent health problems. For this growing majority, it is also an orphan disease, in that detailed knowledge about tumor characteristics and relevant host biology necessary to provide even basic care is absent. With the possible exception of nutritional recommendations, current international cancer policy and planning initiatives are irrelevant to breast cancer. The progress that has occurred in high-income countries has come at extraordinary fiscal expense and patient toxicity, which of themselves suggest nonrelevance to women and healthcare practitioners in middle- and low-income countries. The implications of these circumstances appear clear: if the promise of the now 60-year-old Declaration of Human Rights that the fruits of medical science accrue to all mankind is to be realized with respect to breast cancer, a basic and translational global research initiative should be launched.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Highly active antiretroviral therapy is complicated by drug-drug interactions and the development of viral resistance. Drug interactions involve transporters that may critically affect the pharmacokinetics of many antiretroviral drugs and contribute to the formation of functional sanctuary sites. We therefore investigated the effect of saquinavir and darunavir on drug transporter expression and functional consequences for cellular resistance towards these compounds. METHODS Induction of transporters was investigated in LS180 cells over a period of 4 weeks by means of RT-PCR, and for some transporters also at the protein and functional levels. Cellular resistance was measured by growth inhibition assays. RESULTS Incubation with 10 µM darunavir for 1 week significantly increased mRNA expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp/MDR1/ABCB1) 3.8-fold and of organic anion-transporting polypeptide 2B1 (SLCO2B1) 1.9-fold. In contrast, 10 µM saquinavir significantly increased mRNA expression of P-gp 5.7-fold, multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1/ABCC1) 2.3-fold, MRP2/ABCC2 4.5-fold, MRP3/ABCC3 2.0-fold, MRP4/ABCC4 1.8-fold, MRP5/ABCC5 3.8-fold, breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2) 4.1-fold, SLCO1B1 4.6-fold, SLCO2B1 1.8-fold and SLCO3A1 1.8-fold. P-gp induction was also confirmed at the protein and functional levels. Induction by darunavir caused an increase in cellular resistance towards this compound, as measured in growth inhibition assays; however, saquinavir treatment did not cause reduced sensitivity of cells, indicating unchanged intracellular concentration. Hence, induction by darunavir increased drug efflux and might therefore lead to a suboptimal intracellular concentration of darunavir. CONCLUSIONS The study revealed substantial induction of several drug transporters by saquinavir and darunavir, possibly leading to decreased efficacy of antiretrovirals and drugs used to treat co-morbidity.

Abstract
Functional genomics approaches are widely implemented in current research and have found application in many areas of biology. This review will present research fields, novel findings and new tools developed in the cytochrome P450 field using the functional genomics techniques. The most widely used method is microarray technology, which has already greatly contributed to the understanding of the cytochromes P450 function and expression. Several focused CYP microarrays have been developed for genotyping, toxicogenomics and studies of CYP function of many different organisms. Our contribution to the CYP field by development of Steroltalk microarrays to study the cross-talk of cholesterol homeostasis and drug metabolism is also presented.

Abstract
AIMS The objectives were to evaluate the effect of CYP2D6 genetic polymorphism on the pharmacokinetics of flecainide, and also on the extent of drug interaction with paroxetine as a CYP2D6 inhibitor after a single oral administration in healthy subjects. METHODS An open-label, two-period, single-sequence, cross-over study was performed in 21 healthy Korean male volunteers (seven for CYP2D6*1/*1 or *1/*2, group 1; seven for CYP2D6*1/*10, group 2; seven for CYP2D6*10/*10 or *10/*36, group 3). Subjects were administered 200 mg of flecainide on day 1. After a 7-day wash-out period, subjects were administered 20 mg of paroxetine from day 8 to 14, and 200 mg of flecainide on day 15. Blood sampling was performed up to 72 h after flecainide administration. RESULTS Terminal elimination half-life and mean residence time (MRT) were significantly different among three genotype groups after a single oral administration of flecainide (P = 0.021, 0.011, respectively). Area under the concentration-time curve, terminal elimination half-life and MRT increased significantly after paroxetine co-administration only in groups 1 and 2. CONCLUSIONS This study reports that the extent of drug interaction between flecainide and paroxetine is influenced by the CYP2D6*10 allele in healthy subjects, which is frequent in Asians.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in women. The majority of breast cancers diagnosed in postmenopausal women are hormone receptor positive and involve therapy with hormonal agents. Tamoxifen, a selective estrogen-receptor modulator, has been the mainstay of hormonal therapy since the 1970s. The more recent approval and success of aromatase inhibitors, such as anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, have seen these agents move to the front line of therapy for postmenopausal women with hormone-positive breast cancer in the adjuvant and metastatic settings. Fulvestrant, a selective estrogen receptor— downregulator, provides an additional hormonal therapy with a novel mechanism of action. This article reviews the current literature available regarding the use of these agents for postmenopausal women with early stage or advanced breast cancer.

Abstract
The metabolism of tamoxifen is being redefined in the light of several important pharmacological observations. Recent studies have identified 4-hydroxy N-desmethyltamoxifen (endoxifen) as an important metabolite of tamoxifen necessary for antitumor actions. The metabolite is formed through the enzymatic product of CYP2D6 which also interacts with specific selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) used to prevent the hot flashes observed in up to 45% of patients taking tamoxifen. Additionally, the finding that enzyme variants of CYP2D6 do not promote the metabolism of tamoxifen to endoxifen means that significant numbers of women might not receive optimal benefit from tamoxifen treatment. Clearly these are particularly important issues not only for breast cancer treatment but also for selecting premenopausal women, at high risk for breast cancer, as candidates for chemoprevention using tamoxifen.

Abstract
PURPOSE The CYP3A and CYP2D6 enzymes play a major role in converting tamoxifen to its active metabolites. CYP3A is a highly inducible enzyme, regulated mainly by pregnane X receptor (PXR). This study assessed the association between genetic polymorphisms of CYP2D6 and PXR, and tamoxifen pharmacokinetics (PK) and clinical outcomes in patients with breast cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Plasma concentrations of tamoxifen and its metabolites were measured. Common alleles of CYP2D6 and PXR were identified in 202 patients treated with tamoxifen 20 mg daily for more than 8 weeks. Twelve of the 202 patients and an additional nine patients with metastatic breast cancer receiving tamoxifen were assessed for clinical outcome in correlation with genotypes. RESULTS Patients carrying CYP2D6*10/*10 (n = 49) demonstrated significantly lower steady-state plasma concentrations of 4-hydroxy-N-desmethyltamoxifen and 4-hydroxytamoxifen than did those with other genotypes (n = 153; 4-hydroxy-N-desmethyltamoxifen: 7.9 v 18.9 ng/mL, P < .0001; 4-hydroxytamoxifen: 1.5 v 2.6 ng/mL, P < .0001), whereas no difference by PXR genotypes was found. CYP2D6*10/*10 was significantly more frequent among nonresponders with MBC (100% v 50%, P = .0186). In Cox proportional hazard analysis, CYP2D6 genotype and number of disease sites were significant factors affecting time to progression (TTP). The median TTP for patients receiving tamoxifen was shorter in those carrying CYP2D6*10/*10 than for others (5.0 v 21.8 months, P = .0032) CONCLUSION CYP2D6*10/*10 is associated with lower steady-state plasma concentrations of active tamoxifen metabolites, which could possibly influence the clinical outcome by tamoxifen in Asian breast cancer patients.

Abstract
A recent in vitro study has shown that paroxetine is a substrate of P-glycoprotein. However, there was no in vivo information indicating the involvement of P-glycoprotein on the pharmacokinetics of paroxetine. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of itraconazole, a P-glycoprotein inhibitor, on the pharmacokinetics of paroxetine. Two 6 day courses of either 200 mg itraconazole daily or placebo with at least a 4 week washout period were conducted. Thirteen volunteers took a single oral 20 mg dose of paroxetine on day 6 of both courses. Plasma concentrations of paroxetine were monitored up to 48 hours after the dosing. Compared with placebo, itraconazole treatment significantly increased the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of paroxetine by 1.3 fold (6.7 +/- 2.5 versus 9.0 +/- 3.3 ng/mL, P < 0.05) and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from zero to 48 hours [AUC (0-48)] of paroxetine by 1.5 fold (137 +/- 73 versus 199 +/- 91 ng*h/mL, P < 0.01). Although elimination half-life differed significantly (16.1 +/- 3.4 versus 18.8 +/- 5.9 hours, P < 0.05), the alteration was small (1.1 fold). The present study demonstrated that the bioavailability of paroxetine was increased by itraconazole, suggesting a possible involvement of P-glycoprotein in the pharmacokinetics of paroxetine.

Abstract
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major health problem in the United States and around the world. Evidence accumulated over decades convincingly demonstrates that family history in a parent or a sibling is associated with atherosclerotic CVD, manifested as coronary heart disease, stroke, and/or peripheral arterial disease. Although there are several mendelian disorders that contribute to CVD, most common forms of CVD are believed to be multifactorial and to result from many genes, each with a relatively small effect working alone or in combination with modifier genes and/or environmental factors. The identification and the characterization of these genes and their modifiers would enhance prediction of CVD risk and improve prevention, treatment, and quality of care. This scientific statement describes the approaches researchers are using to advance understanding of the genetic basis of CVD and details the current state of knowledge regarding the genetics of myocardial infarction, atherosclerotic CVD, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension. Current areas of interest and investigation--including gene-environment interaction, pharmacogenetics, and genetic counseling--are also discussed. The statement concludes with a list of specific recommendations intended to help incorporate usable knowledge into current clinical and public health practice, foster and guide future research, and prepare both researchers and practitioners for the changes likely to occur as molecular genetics moves from the laboratory to clinic.

Abstract
PURPOSE A decision matrix for identifying drugs for which pharmacogenetic drug monitoring (PDM) provides the greatest benefit in a Korean setting is described. SUMMARY We developed a decision matrix including the ethnic frequency of clinically relevant polymorphic cytochrome P-450 (CYP) enzymes, and the metabolic profiles and adverse drug reactions of drugs. Using the developed decision matrix based on the population allele frequencies of CYP enzymes, we identified potential candidates for PDM among the most commonly used drugs at Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH). Collectively, 17 of these drugs were largely metabolized by at least one polymorphic CYP enzyme. Pharmacogenetic information was used to identify CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6 as the major CYP enzymes of clinical importance for pharmacologic effect and safety in Koreans. The frequencies of poor and intermediate metabolizers among Koreans were 0% and 2.3-12% for CYP2C9, 12% and 42% for CYP2C19, and 0.44% and 28% for CYP2D6, respectively. The frequency of ultrarapid metabolizers of CYP2D6 was 2.28%. The decision matrix and pharmacogenetic information were used to identify seven drugs for PDM: warfarin, glimepiride, diazepam, amitriptyline, nortriptyline, codeine, and oxycodone. This approach can be applied to other institutional hospitals or other ethnic populations and would be helpful for advancing pharmacy practice. Further work is required to assess the practical and potential clinical relevance of pharmacogenetic variations on drugs of interest before the implementation of PDM. CONCLUSION A decision matrix helped identify drugs for which PDM provides the greatest potential benefit at one Korean hospital.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of polymorphisms in dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) and cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 genes on delta EEG power response to aripiprazole in healthy male volunteers. Seventeen volunteers were recruited according to the DRD2 Taq1A genotype, and separated into the following groups: homozygous wild-type (A2/A2, n = 7), heterozygous (A2/A1, n = 5) and homozygous variant-type (A1/A1, n = 5) groups. After enrollment in this study, they were genotyped for CYP2D6. The volunteers received single 10 mg oral doses of aripiprazole, in accordance with an open-label parallel group study design. Plasma levels of aripiprazole and its metabolite were determined and EEGs were obtained simultaneously. The pharmacodynamic parameter was absolute delta power in the Cz channel. The changes of delta power were not different according to DRD2 Taq1A genotypes. As to the CYP2D6 allele, the subjects had the following CYP2D6 genotypes: *10/*10 (n = 4), *1/*10 (n = 5), *1/*5 (n = 2), *1/*1 (n = 3), *2/*41 (n = 1), *2/*2 (n = 1), *2N/*10 (n = 1). Subjects exhibiting the *1/*5 and *1/*10 genotypes showed a trend toward high area under the plasma aripiprazole concentration-time curve (AUC), which was linearly related to area under the EEG response-time curve (AUEC). Our results demonstrate a need for further evaluation of the CYP2D6 genotypic effect on the pharmacodynamics of aripiprazole.

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
Type 2 diabetes mellitus affects up to 8% of the adult population in Western countries. Treatment of this disease with oral antidiabetic drugs is characterised by considerable interindividual variability in pharmacokinetics, clinical efficacy and adverse effects. Genetic factors are known to contribute to individual differences in bioavailability, drug transport, metabolism and drug action. Only scarce data exist on the clinical implications of this genetic variability on adverse drug effects or clinical outcomes in patients taking oral antidiabetics. The polymorphic enzyme cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 is the main enzyme catalysing the biotransformation of sulphonylureas. Total oral clearance of all studied sulphonylureas (tolbutamide, glibenclamide [glyburide], glimepiride, glipizide) was only about 20% in persons with the CYP2C9*3/*3 genotype compared with carriers of the wild-type genotype CYP2C9*1/*1, and clearance in the heterozygous carriers was between 50% and 80% of that of the wild-type genotypes. For reasons not completely known, the resulting differences in drug effects were much less pronounced. Nevertheless, CYP2C9 genotype-based dose adjustments may reduce the incidence of adverse effects. The magnitude of how doses might be adjusted can be derived from pharmacokinetic studies. The meglitinide-class drug nateglinide is metabolised by CYP2C9. According to the pharmacokinetic data, moderate dose adjustments based on CYP2C9 genotypes may help in reducing interindividual variability in the antihyperglycaemic effects of nateglinide. Repaglinide is metabolised by CYP2C8 and, according to clinical studies, CYP2C8*3 carriers had higher clearance than carriers of the wild-type genotypes; however, this was not consistent with in vitro data and therefore further studies are needed. CYP2C8*3 is closely linked with CYP2C9*2. CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 are the main enzymes catalysing biotransformation of the thiazolidinediones troglitazone and pioglitazone, whereas rosiglitazone is metabolised by CYP2C9 and CYP2C8. The biguanide metformin is not significantly metabolised but polymorphisms in the organic cation transporter (OCT) 1 and OCT2 may determine its pharmacokinetic variability. In conclusion, pharmacogenetic variability plays an important role in the pharmacokinetics of oral antidiabetic drugs; however, to date, the impact of this variability on clinical outcomes in patients is mostly unknown and prospective studies on the medical benefit of CYP genotyping are required.

Abstract
For clinical application of pharmacogenetic tests, quantitative prediction of enzyme activity based on accurate determination of genotype is essential. There has been limited information available on the genetic polymorphism of CYP2D6 in the Korean population. In this study, CYP2D6 genotypes were assessed in 400 Korean subjects. Twenty-eight different CYP2D6 alleles and 35 genotypes were detected. On the basis of the genotype determined, the frequency of poor metabolizers and ultrarapid metabolizers were 0.22% and 1.25%, respectively. The CYP2D6 activity expected in regard to different allele combinations varies widely within the extensive and intermediate metabolizer groups. The frequencies of CYP2D6*10 and CYP2D6*5 were 45.00% and 6.13%, respectively. CYP2D6*10xN was found in 4 out of 9 cases with a CYP2D6 duplication. Fifteen heterozygotes for *41 were noted. In addition, the authors measured plasma concentrations of 16 healthy volunteers after administration of nortriptyline and identified the impact of the CYP2D6 genotype on nortriptyline metabolism. This is the first large-scale study to examine the genetic polymorphism of CYP2D6 using sequence-based genotyping in an Asian population. Our results further the understanding of CYP2D6 pharmacogenetics and could be helpful for future clinical studies in the Asian population.

Abstract
The authors investigated the impact of the CYP2D6 genotypes on the plasma concentration of paroxetine (PAX) in 55 Japanese psychiatric patients. They were administered 10 to 40 mg/day (24+/-10.0 mg/day) of PAX and maintained at the same daily dose for at least two weeks to obtain the steady-state concentrations. The plasma levels of PAX were 15.8+/-15.0, 47.4+/-32.0, 101.2+/-59.9 and 177.5+/-123.6 ng/ml at the daily dose of 10, 20, 30 and 40 mg, respectively, which suggested dose dependent kinetics of PAX. The allele frequencies of the CYP2D65, CYP2D610 and CYP2D641 were 1.8%, 41.8% and 1.8%, respectively. Significantly higher PAX concentrations were observed in the patients having one functional allele compared with those with two functional alleles (150.9+/-20.6 vs. 243.6+/-25.2 ng/ml mg(-1) kg(-1), p<0.05, Newman-Keuls multiple comparison test) or no functional (243.6+/-25.2 vs. 76.7+/-6.1 ng/ml mg(-1) kg(-1), p<0.05, Newman-Keuls multiple comparison test) in the subjects with 30 mg/day of paroxetine. The same trend of findings as in the subjects treated with 30 mg/day were observed in the subjects with 40 mg/day of PAX. The present results suggest that having one non-functional allele is the marker for high plasma concentration of PAX when relatively high daily dose of PAX is administered.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) metabolizes approximately one-third of the medicines in current clinical use and exhibits genetic polymorphism with interindividual differences in metabolic activity. To precisely investigate the effect of CYP2D6*10B and CYP2D6*36 frequently found in Oriental populations on mexiletine metabolism in vitro, CYP2D6 proteins of wild-type (CYP2D6.1) and variants (CYP2D6.10 and CYP2D6.36) were heterologously expressed in yeast cells and their mexiletine p- and 2-methyl hydroxylation activities were determined. Both variant CYP2D6 enzymes showed a drastic reduction of CYP2D6 holo- and apoproteins compared with those of CYP2D6.1. Mexiletine p- and 2-methyl hydroxylation activities on the basis of the microsomal protein level at the single substrate concentration (100 microM) of variant CYP2D6s were less than 6% for CYP2D6.10 and 1% for CYP2D6.36 of those of CYP2D6.1. Kinetic analysis for mexiletine hydroxylation revealed that the affinity toward mexiletine of CYP2D6.10 and CYP2D6.36 was reduced by amino acid substitutions. The Vmax and Vmax/Km values of CYP2D6.10 on the basis of the microsomal protein level were reduced to less than 10% of those of CYP2D6.1, whereas the values on the basis of functional CYP2D6 level were comparable to those of CYP2D6.1. Although it was impossible to estimate the kinetic parameters for the mexiletine hydroxylation of CYP2D6.36, the metabolic ability toward mexiletine was considered to be poorer not only than that of CYP2D6.1 but also than that of CYP2D6.10. The same tendency was also observed in kinetic analysis for bufuralol 1''-hydroxylation as a representative CYP2D6 probe. These findings suggest that CYP2D6*36 has a more drastic impact on mexiletine metabolism than CYP2D6*10.

Abstract
1. The present study was undertaken to characterise the relationship between in vivo brain serotonin transporter (SERT) binding, plasma concentration and pharmacological effect of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in mice. Oral administration of fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, paroxetine and sertraline at pharmacologically relevant doses exerted dose- and time-dependent binding activity of brain SERT as revealed by significant increases in KD for specific [3H]paroxetine binding, and the in vivo SERT-binding potency was in the order of paroxetine>>fluoxetine, sertraline>fluvoxamine. 2. The time courses of brain SERT binding by SSRIs in mice were mostly in parallel to those of their plasma concentrations. Also, norfluoxetine (active metabolite) has been suggested to contribute largely to the long-lasting binding activity of brain SERT after the fluoxetine administration. 3. Oral administration of each SSRI suppressed significantly the marble-burying behaviour with no change in locomotor activity in mice, and the extent and time course of suppression agreed well with those of brain SERT binding. Thus, the pharmacological potencies of SSRIs in the attenuation of marble-burying behaviour correlated significantly with their brain SERT binding activities. 4. In conclusion, the present study has provided the first in vivo evidences to support that fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, paroxetine and sertraline orally administered bind to the pharmacologically relevant brain SERT in mice and that their SERT-binding characteristics is closely associated with the pharmacokinetics and inhibition of marble-burying behaviour.

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 present study was undertaken to identify and characterize in vivo binding sites of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in the mouse brain by using [3H]paroxetine as radioligand. Relatively higher concentration of [3H]paroxetine was detected in the whole brain (minus cerebellum) than in the plasma of mice after the i.v. injection of the radioligand, and the half-life (t1/2) of elimination was much slower. The in vivo specific [3H]paroxetine binding in the mouse brain after the i.v. injection was defined as the difference of particulate-bound radioactivity between the whole brain and cerebellum, and it was dose-dependently attenuated by oral or intraperitoneal administration of fluoxetine (8.68-116 micromol/kg). Furthermore, oral administration of fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, paroxetine and sertraline at the pharmacologically relevant doses reduced significantly (25-94%) in vivo specific [3H]paroxetine binding in the cerebral cortex, striatum, hippocampus, thalamus and midbrain of mice, and their significant decreases were observed up to at least 8 h (fluvoxamine), 24 h (fluoxetine), and 12 h (paroxetine and sertraline) later. The value of area under the curve (AUC) for decrease in [3H]paroxetine binding vs. time in each brain region was largest for fluoxetine among these SSRIs, due to the relatively longer-lasting occupation of brain serotonin transporter. The AUC value in mouse brain after oral administration of each SSRI was 1.2-3.2 times greater in the thalamus and midbrain than in the cerebral cortex, striatum and hippocampus. Thus, the present study has revealed that [3H]paroxetine may be a suitable radioligand for in vivo characterization of brain binding sites and pharmacological effects of SSRIs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated the effect of dosages of paroxetine and cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 genotypes on the plasma concentration of paroxetine in Japanese patients being treated with paroxetine. METHODS Blood samples were collected from 73 individuals after at least 2 weeks of the same daily dose of paroxetine. The plasma paroxetine concentration was measured using HPLC, and the CYP2D6 genotypes were identified by PCR. Genotype groups were compared by one-way analysis of variance at different paroxetine doses. RESULTS The mean plasma paroxetine concentrations at daily doses of 10, 20, 30, and 40 ng/ml were 6.6+/-7.4, 34.9+/-26.8, 74.8+/-37.2, and 130.5+/-96.8 ng/ml, respectively, showing a disproportionate and nonlinear increase in plasma drug levels of paroxetine upon increasing doses. Plasma paroxetine concentrations in patients with CYP2D6*10 alleles were significantly higher than those without *10 allele at 10 mg/day (7.3+/-6.11 vs. 2.99+/-3.52 ng/ml), but there was no significant difference between *1/ *1, *1/ *10 and *10/ *10 genotypes at the higher doses. Similarly, patients with CYP2D6*5 alleles showed higher plasma paroxetine concentrations than those without *5 allele, although differences in the plasma paroxetine concentration did not reach statistical significance level because of the small number of subjects with *5 alleles. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate the possibility of saturation in paroxetine metabolism with an increase in paroxetine dose, and that CYP2D6*10 allele(s) have significant impact on plasma paroxetine concentration at low doses in Japanese population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In vitro studies with human liver microsomes have suggested that the oxidative conversion of mexiletine (MX) to its metabolites is catalyzed by CYP2D6 and is significantly impaired in microsomes with the CYP2D6*10/*10 genotype. Therefore, we examined the influence of the CYP2D6*10 allele on MX pharmacokinetics in Japanese subjects. METHODS Subjects with CYP2D6*1/*1 (group *1/*1; n=5), CYP2D6*10/*10 (group *10/*10; n=6) and CYP2D6*5/*10 (group *5/*10; n=4) genotypes received a single 200-mg dose of MX. Plasma and urinary levels of MX and its metabolites ( p-hydroxymexiletine (PHM), hydroxymethylmexiletine (HMM) and N-hydroxymexiletine (NHM)) were determined by means of high-performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS Mean area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and t(1/2) of MX were significantly ( P<0.05) higher in the CYP2D6*10/*5 group (AUC 11.23+/-3.05 micro g.h/ml; t(1/2) 15.5+/-3.2 h) than in the CYP2D6*1/*1 (AUC 5.53+/-1.01 micro g.h/ml; t(1/2) 8.1+/-1.6 h) and CYP2D6*10/*10 (AUC 7.32+/-2.36 micro g.h/ml; t(1/2) 10.8+/-2.8 h) groups, but there was no significant difference between the CYP2D6*1/*1 and CYP2D6*10/*10 groups. The maximum plasma concentration of MX was not significantly different among the three groups. The values of urinary excretion of PHM and HMM in the CYP2D6*1/*1 group were significantly ( P<0.05) higher than those in the CYP2D6*10/*10 and CYP2D6*5/*10 groups, but there was no significant difference in that of NHM among the three groups. Clearance of MX in the CYP2D6*5/*10 subjects was comparable to that in the poor metabolizers described previously. CONCLUSION The present findings demonstrated that carriers of the CYP2D6*10 allele showed a decreased clearance of MX. Subjects with CYP2D6*5/ *10 showed significantly ( P<0.05) increased plasma levels of MX, and homozygotes for CYP2D6*10 also showed an increase, although to a lesser extent. Thus, the CYP2D6*10 allele plays an important role in MX pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of the CYP2D6 genotype on the pharmacokinetics of tropisetron in healthy Korean subjects. METHODS A single 5-mg capsule of tropisetron was administered orally to 13 healthy subjects. Plasma concentrations were determined by validated HPLC procedures and data were analyzed by using noncompartmental linear PK methods. Four alleles, CYP2D6*1, CYP2D6*2 x2, CYP2D6*5, and CYP2D6*10, were identified by PCR. RESULTS Thirteen subjects, consisting of two homozygous carriers of the wild type allele ( *1/*1), four heterozygous carriers of poor metabolizer (PM)-associated allele (* 1/*10), six homozygous carriers of PM-associated alleles (four with *10/*10 and two with *5/*10), and one carrier of a duplicated allele *1/*2 x2. All tested pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC(inf), AUC(inf)(NL70), Cmax, Cmax(NL70), T(1/2), and Tec) were significantly different among four different genotypic groups. The mean AUCs of carriers with the heterozygous PM-associated allele and the homozygous PM-associated allele were 1.9- and 6.8-higher than those of carriers with the wild type allele, respectively. In contrast, the mean AUC of carriers with a duplicated allele was 0.5-fold lower than that of those carriers with the wild type allele. CONCLUSION The presence of CYP2D6*5, CYP2D6*10, and CYP2D6*2 x2 has an important impact on the pharmacokinetics of tropisetron, which may influence clinical response to tropisetron therapy.

Abstract
The enzyme activities of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 show a genetic polymorphism, and the frequency of poor metabolizers (PMs) on these enzymes depends on races. We have analyzed frequencies of mutant alleles and PMs based on the published data in previous study (Shimizu, T. et al.: Bioinformatics research on inter-racial difference in drug metabolism, I. Analysis on frequencies of mutant alleles and poor metabolizers on CYP2D6 and CYP2C19.). The study shows that there were racial differences in the frequencies of each mutant allele and PMs. In the present study, the correlation between genotypes and drug-metabolizing enzyme activities was investigated. The result showed that enzyme activities varied according to the genotypes of subjects even in the same race. On the other hand, if subjects had the same genotypes, almost no racial differences were observed in drug-metabolizing enzyme activities. From these results, it was supposed that the racial differences in activities of these enzymes could be explained by the differences in distribution of genotypes. It would be possible to explain the racial differences in drug-metabolizing enzyme activities based on the differences on individual pharmacogenetic background information, not merely by comparison of frameworks such as races and nations.

Abstract
The enzyme activities of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 show a genetic polymorphism, and the frequency of poor metabolizers (PMs) on these enzymes depends on races. In the present study, the frequencies of mutant alleles and PMs in each race were analyzed based on information from published studies, considering the genetic polymorphisms of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 as the causal factors of racial and inter-individual differences in pharmacokinetics. As a result, it was shown that there were racial differences in the frequencies of each mutant allele and PMs. The frequencies of PMs on CYP2D6 are 1.9% of Asians and 7.7% of Caucasians, and those of PMs on CYP2C19 are 15.8% of Asians and 2.2% of Caucasians. Based on the results, it was suggested that there would be racial differences in the frequencies of PM subjects whose blood concentrations might be higher for drugs metabolized by these enzymes. Additionally, it was suggested that enzyme activities would vary according to the number of functional alleles even in subjects judged to be extensive metabolizers (EMs). In the bridging study, genetic information regarding CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 of the subjects will help extrapolate foreign clinical data to a domestic population.

Abstract
This study was performed in elderly patients (1) to assess the degree to which CYP2D6 mediated metabolism of debrisoquine at baseline determines plasma concentration to dose quotients for nortriptyline or paroxetine after 4 weeks of treatment, and (2) to compare the effects of nortriptyline and paroxetine on debrisoquine metabolism after 6 weeks of treatment. CYP2D6 activity was estimated in 66 subjects (71.4 +/- 7.2 years) before initiating treatment and again after 6 weeks of treatment with either nortriptyline or paroxetine under randomized, double-blind conditions according to a standard protocol. CYP2D6 activity was estimated by the debrisoquine recovery ratio in a 6- to 8-hour urine sample collected after oral administration of 10 mg debrisoquine sulfate. Nortriptyline and paroxetine plasma concentrations were obtained weekly. Baseline debrisoquine recovery ratio values were significantly correlated with the plasma concentration to dose quotient at 4 weeks for both nortriptyline ( = -0.75, = 0.0001, N = 29) and paroxetine ( = -0.50, = 0.003, N = 33). Treatment with either nortriptyline or paroxetine was associated with a significant decrease in the median debrisoquine recovery ratio, reflecting inhibition of CYP2D6 metabolism. The percent decrease associated with nortriptyline was significantly smaller than that with paroxetine ( < 0.0001). None of the patients treated with nortriptyline but 19 of the 32 extensive metabolizers treated with paroxetine were converted to phenotypic poor metabolic status. Our observations of CYP2D6 inhibition are consistent with data and results obtained in younger healthy volunteers. The significant correlations between baseline debrisoquine recovery ratio and the plasma concentrations to dose quotients at 4 weeks for both nortriptyline and paroxetine are consistent with CYP2D6 playing a major role in the metabolism of both drugs. CYP2D6 inhibition by paroxetine, which effectively converted 59% of patients to phenotypic PMs, may be especially relevant for elderly patients given their generally higher concentration of paroxetine.

Abstract
Over 50 allelic variants of cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) encoding fully functional, reduced-activity, or nonfunctional proteins have been described. Compared with Caucasians, studies in black populations demonstrate a tendency toward slower CYP2D6 activity, attributed in part to the presence of a variant allele associated with reduced activity, the CYP2D6*17 allele. To investigate the kinetic characteristics of this variant protein, expression constructs coding for CYP2D6.1, CYP2D6.2, and CYP2D6.17 gene products were prepared and transfected into mammalian COS-7 and insect (Trichoplusia ni) cells for expression. Microsomal fractions containing the expressed proteins were used to determine the kinetic parameters K(m), V(max), and intrinsic clearance (Cl(int)) for the model substrates dextromethorphan, bufuralol, and debrisoquine. Relative to the wild-type CYP2D6.1 protein expressed in COS-7 cells, CYP2D6.17 exhibited a 2-fold higher K(m) and a 50% reduction in V(max) using dextromethorphan as the substrate. In contrast, no appreciable change in bufuralol K(m) was observed with CYP2D6.17 whereas V(max) was decreased by 50%. When expressed in the baculovirus expression system, CYP2D6.17 exhibited a 6-fold increase in K(m) but no change in V(max) with dextromethorphan as the substrate, a 2-fold higher K(m) and 50% reduction in V(max) with bufuralol, and a 3-fold increase in K(m) and no change in V(max) with debrisoquine relative to CYP2D6.1. These data indicate that CYP2D6.17 exhibits reduced metabolic activity toward all three commonly used CYP2D6 substrates, although specific effects on substrate affinity and turnover demonstrate some substrate dependence.

Abstract
The discovery of six distinct polymorphisms in the genetic sequence encoding for the cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) protein has stimulated numerous investigations in an attempt to characterize their population distribution and metabolic activity. Since the CYP2C9*1, *2 and *3 alleles were discovered first, they have undergone more thorough investigation than the recently identified *4, *5 and *6 alleles. Population distribution data suggest that the variant *2 and *3 alleles are present in approximately 35% of Caucasian individuals; however, these alleles are significantly less prevalent in African-American and Asian populations. In-vitro data have consistently demonstrated that the CYP2C9*2 and *3 alleles are associated with significant reductions in intrinsic clearance of a variety of 2C9 substrates compared with CYP2C9*1; however, the degree of these reductions appear to be highly substrate-dependent. In addition, multiple in-vivo investigations and clinical case reports have associated genotypes expressing the CYP2C9*2 and *3 alleles with significant reductions in both the metabolism and daily dose requirements of selected CYP2C9 substrates. Individuals expressing these variant genotypes also appear to be significantly more susceptible to adverse events with the narrow therapeutic index agents warfarin and phenytoin, particularly during the initiation of therapy. These findings have subsequently raised numerous questions regarding the potential clinical utility of genotyping for CYP2C9 prior to initiation of therapy with these agents. However, further clinical investigations evaluating the metabolic consequences in individuals expressing the CYP2C9*2, *3, *4, *5, or *6 alleles are required before large-scale clinical genotyping can be recommended.
