J Inorg Biochem 2024; 258:112622. [PMID: 38852293 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2024.112622] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
The human cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1, 2 and 3 families of enzymes are responsible for the biotransformation of a majority of the currently available pharmaceutical drugs. The highly polymorphic CYP2C9 predominantly metabolizes many drugs including anticoagulant S-warfarin, anti-hypertensive losartan, anti-diabetic tolbutamide, analgesic ibuprofen, etc. There are >80 single nucleotide changes identified in CYP2C9, many of which significantly alter the clearance of important drugs. Here we report the structural and biophysical analysis of two polymorphic variants, CYP2C9*14 (Arg125His) and CYP2C9*27 (Arg150Leu) complexed with losartan. The X-ray crystal structures of the CYP2C9*14 and *27 illustrate the binding of two losartan molecules, one in the active site near heme and another on the periphery. Both losartan molecules are bound in an identical conformation to that observed in the previously solved CYP2C9 wild-type complex, however, the number of losartan differs from the wild-type structure, which showed binding of three molecules. Additionally, isothermal titration calorimetry experiments reveal a lower binding affinity of losartan with *14 and *27 variants when compared to the wild-type. Overall, the results provide new insights into the effects of these genetic polymorphisms and suggests a possible mechanism contributing to reduced metabolic activity in patients carrying these alleles.

Abstract
Fungi are ubiquitous in distribution and are found in grasses to hot springs. Their mode of nutrition provides sustenance for living and propagation. Ironically, varied fungal species have developed customized strategies for protection and survival by producing diverse secondary metabolites. The review aimed to project the contrasting potential features of the endophytic and thermophilic fungi groups. The metabolites and the enzymes of endophytic and thermophilic fungi served as the backbone to thrive and adapt within-host and in extreme conditions like higher pH, heat, and salinity, respectively. Identification, knowledge of their biochemistry and pathway, exploration, production, and utilization of these bioactive molecules in various commercial, industrial, and pharmaceutical domains were briefly discussed. The uniqueness of endophytes includes stress management and improved biomass production of the host, green fuel production, omnipresence, selected triple-symbiosis with the virus, synthesis of polyketides, and other active metabolites are widely used in biomedical applications and agriculture management. This review attempted to limelight the specific applications of thermophilic fungal metabolites and the roles of thermo-stable enzymes in bioprospecting. Moreover, probing the metabolites of thermophiles rendered novel antibiotic compounds, which were proven effective against multi-drug resistant bacteria and harboured the potential to curtail infectious diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of imrecoxib on CYP2C11 enzyme activity, mRNA and protein expression. METHOD An ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) method was established. Tolbutamide was selected as CYP2C11 enzyme-specific probe drug and incubated with imrecoxib in rat liver microsomes. The amount of 4-hydroxytolbutamide produced was measured by UPLC to investigate the effect of imrecoxib on CYP2C11 enzyme activity. Imrecoxib (10 mg/kg) was given by intragastric administration twice daily. After 1, 7 and 14 days of administration, liver tissues were taken. The expression of CYP2C11 enzyme mRNA was determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and its protein expression was determined by Western Blot. RESULTS Imrecoxib concentration was inversely proportional to the production of 4-hydroxytolbutamide in liver microsomes. Imrecoxib demonstrated dose-dependent inhibitory effect on CYP2C11 activity with IC50=74.77 μM. After administration, RT-PCR showed CYP2C11 enzyme mRNA expressions were 65% (P<0.05), 35%, and 34% of control group, respectively (P<0.01). Western Blot showed CYP2C11 enzyme protein expressions were 80%, 37%, and 34% of control group, respectively (P<0.01). CONCLUSION Imrecoxib can reduce mRNA and protein expression of CYP2C11 enzyme in rat liver and inhibit the activity of CYP2C11 enzyme in a dose-dependent manner. However, it will not produce clinically significant drug interactions.

Abstract
Primary human hepatocytes are an essential in vitro tool for evaluating drug metabolism, drug-drug interactions, and hepatotoxicity. This model is considered as the gold standard in matter of DMPK studies in both industrial and academic research. The primary human hepatocytes are used either in suspension or in monolayer, as fresh or frozen cells. However, the use of this model is limited due to the lack of availability, rapid loss of functionality, high cost as well as the variable hepatocyte plating efficiencies in culture and the limited stock of hepatocytes derived from the same origin. Chimeric TK-NOG mice with humanized livers (humanized liver mice) are an attractive platform for drug metabolism and toxicity, which were produced by transplanting human hepatocytes into immunodeficient mice with injured livers. Here, we show that, using humanized mouse liver, in vivo human hepatocyte repopulation was over ~100-fold enabling the continuous and abundant use of human hepatocytes of the same origin and improving their plateability. In our latest cell preparations, hepatocytes isolated from humanized liver mice (Hu-Liver cells) exhibited high purity (ratio of HLA-positive cells: 92±3%), good viability (75±12%), and yield (1.0×108 cells/mouse). Human hepatic drug metabolizing enzymes, transporters, and nuclear receptors genes were expressed in humanized mouse liver. Drug-metabolizing activities in Hu-Liver cells were comparable to or higher than those in primary human hepatocytes. An extensive P450-dependent human drug metabolism was observed in Hu-Liver cells. CYP1A2, CYP2B6, and CYP3A4/5 activities/mRNA in Hu-Liver cells were induced by the hepatocyte exposure to typical human P450 inducers, omeprazole, phenobarbital, and rifampicin, respectively. Finally, Human albumin secretion and CYP3A-mediated drug oxidation activity were maintained over 4-weeks. Altogether, the expression level of pharmacokinetics-related genes, enzyme activity, human-typed drug metabolism, and inducibility of P450 in Hu-Liver cells make from humanized mouse liver a relevant and robust model for in vitro preclinical studies, including drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and toxicology studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CYP2C9 is a member of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) superfamily responsible for the metabolism of 16% of drugs that undergo oxidative metabolism. The activity of CYP2C9 exhibits marked inter-individual variability, which translates into prominent differences in the pharmacokinetics of CYP2C9 substrates, some of which are characterized by a narrow therapeutic window. Genetic polymorphisms in the gene encoding for CYP2C9 account for a fraction of the variability in CYP2C9 activity. The phenytoin metabolic ratio (PMR) is a marker of CYP2C9 activity in vivo, which correlates with CYP2C9 genetic polymorphisms. OBJECTIVE The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the ability of the PMR to predict the oral clearance of (S)-warfarin (SWOCL) and its formation clearance towards its CYP2C9-mediated metabolites (SWCLf) [i.e., 6- and 7-hydroxy-(S)-warfarin]. METHODS The study was conducted in 150 healthy non-smoker subjects (segment 1) and 60 patients treated with warfarin (segment 2). In the first segment, the participants received on two separate occasions a single 300-mg dose of phenytoin and at least 7 days later a single dose of warfarin (5 or 10 mg). The same PMR procedure was performed in the second segment, except that it was performed either before warfarin initiation or after the patients had reached stable anticoagulation. The PMR was derived from the ratio of 5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-phenyl-hydantoin content in a 24-hour urine collection to plasma phenytoin concentration 12- (PMR24/12) or 24- (PMR24/24) post-dosing. In segment 1, SWOCL was calculated from the ratio of (S)-warfarin dose to the warfarin area under the plasma concentration-time curve extrapolated to infinity and the SWCLf from the ratio of urine content of 6- and 7-hydroxy-(S)-warfarin to (S)-warfarin area under the (S)-warfarin plasma concentration-time curve until the last measured timepoint. In segment 2, estimated SWOCL was derived from the ratio of (S)-warfarin dose to the mid-interval plasma concentration of (S)-warfarin. RESULTS The PMR, SWOCL, and SWCLf varied significantly between carriers of different CYP2C9 genotypes in both healthy subjects (p < 0.001) and patients (p < 0.005). However, PMR and SWOCL values exhibited substantial intra-genotypic variability. PMR24/12 and PMR24/24 were significantly correlated with SWOCL both in healthy subjects (r = 0.62 and r = 0.67, respectively, p < 0.001) and in patients (r = 0.57 and r = 0.61, respectively, p < 0.001). In a multiple regression model that included all variables that correlated with SWOCL, PMR was the strongest predictor, explaining 44% and 38% of the variability in SWOCL among healthy subjects and patients, respectively, and accounting for 95.7% (44%/46%) and 90.5% (38%/42%) of the total explained variability in SWOCL among healthy subjects and patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The PMR is the strongest predictor of SWOCL, and as such, it exhibits a significant advantage over the CYP2C9 genotype. The inclusion of PMR in future dosing algorithms of CYP2C9 substrates characterized by a narrow therapeutic window should be encouraged and further investigated.

Abstract
Microphysiological systems (MPS) are complex and more physiologically realistic cellular in vitro tools that aim to provide more relevant human in vitro data for quantitative prediction of clinical pharmacokinetics while also reducing the need for animal testing. The PhysioMimix liver-on-a-chip integrates medium flow with hepatocyte culture and has the potential to be adopted for in vitro studies investigating the hepatic disposition characteristics of drug candidates. The current study focusses on liver-on-a-chip system exploration for multiple drug metabolism applications. Characterization of cytochrome P450 (CYP), UDP-glucuronosyl transferase (UGT) and aldehyde oxidase (AO) activities was performed using 15 drugs and in vitro to in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) was assessed for 12 of them. Next, the utility of the liver-on-a-chip for estimation of the fraction metabolized (fm) via specific biotransformation pathways of quinidine and diclofenac was established. Finally, the metabolite identification opportunities were also explored using efavirenz as an example drug with complex primary and secondary metabolism involving a combination of CYP, UGT and sulfotransferase enzymes. A key aspect of these investigations was the application of mathematical modelling for improved parameter calculation. Such approaches will be required for quantitative assessment of metabolism and/or transporter processes in systems where medium flow and system compartments result in non-homogeneous drug concentrations. In particular, modelling was used to explore the effect of evaporation from the medium and it was found that the intrinsic clearance (CLint) might be underestimated by up to 40% for low clearance compounds if evaporation is not accounted for. Modelling of liver-on-a-chip in vitro data also enhanced the approach to fm estimation allowing objective assessment of metabolism models of different complexity. The resultant diclofenac fm,UGT of 0.64 was highly comparable with values reported previously in the literature. The current study demonstrates the integration of mathematical modelling with experimental liver-on-a-chip studies and illustrates how this approach supports generation of high quality of data from complex in vitro cellular systems.

Abstract
Cytochromes P450 (CYP) are one of the major xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes with increasing importance in pharmacogenetics. The CYP2C9 enzyme is responsible for the metabolism of a wide range of clinical drugs. More than sixty genetic variations have been identified in CYP2C9 with many demonstrating reduced activity compared to the wild-type (WT) enzyme. The CYP2C9*8 allele is predominantly found in persons of African ancestry and results in altered clearance of several drug substrates of CYP2C9. The X-ray crystal structure of CYP2C9*8, which represents an amino acid variation from arginine to histidine at position 150 (R150H), was solved in complex with losartan. The overall conformation of the CYP2C9*8-losartan complex was similar to the previously solved complex with wild type (WT) protein, but it differs in the occupancy of losartan. One molecule of losartan was bound in the active site and another on the surface in an identical orientation to that observed in the WT complex. However, unlike the WT structure, the losartan in the access channel was not observed in the *8 complex. Furthermore, isothermal titration calorimetry studies illustrated weaker binding of losartan to *8 compared to WT. Interestingly, the CYP2C9*8 interaction with losartan was not as weak as the CYP2C9*3 variant, which showed up to three-fold weaker average dissociation constant compared to the WT. Taken together, the structural and solution characterization yields insights into the similarities and differences of losartan binding to CYP2C9 variants and provides a useful framework for probing the role of amino acid substitution and substrate dependent activity.

Abstract
Warfarin is a widely prescribed anticoagulant but the doses required to attain the optimum therapeutic effect exhibit dramatic inter-individual variability. Pharmacogenomics-guided warfarin dosing has been recommended to improve safety and effectiveness. We analyzed the cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) and vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) genes among 120 patients taking warfarin. A new coding variant was identified by sequencing CYP2C9. The novel A > G mutation at nucleotide position 14,277 led to an amino acid substitution of isoleucine with valine at position 213 (I213V). The functional consequence of the variant was subsequently evaluated in vitro. cDNA of the novel variant was constructed by site-directed mutagenesis and the recombinant protein was expressed in vitro using a baculovirus–insect cell expression system. The recombinant protein expression was quantified at apoprotein and holoprotein levels. Its enzymatic activities toward tolbutamide, warfarin and losartan were then assessed. It exhibited changed apparent Km values and increases of 148%, 84% and 67% in the intrinsic clearance of tolbutamide, warfarin and losartan, respectively, compared to wild-type CYP2C9*1, indicating dramatically enhanced in vitro enzymatic activity. Our study suggests that the amino acid at position 213 in wild-type CYP2C9*1 may be important for the enzymatic activity of CYP2C9 toward tolbutamide, warfarin and losartan. In summary, a patient taking high-dose warfarin (6.0 mg/day) in order to achieve the target international normalized ratio was found to have a mutation in the CYP2C9 gene.

Abstract
Common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) are small non-human primates that genetically lack cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9). Polymorphic marmoset CYP2C19 compensates by mediating oxidations of typical human CYP2C9/19 substrates.Twenty-four probe substrates were intravenously administered in combinations to marmosets assigned to extensive or poor metaboliser (PM) groups by CYP2C19 genotyping. Eliminations from plasma of cilomilast, phenytoin, repaglinide, tolbutamide, and S-warfarin in the CYP2C19 PM group were significantly slow; these drugs are known substrates of human CYP2C8/9/19.Human total clearance values and volumes of distribution of the 24 test compounds were extrapolated using single-species allometric scaling with experimental data from marmosets and found to be mostly comparable with the reported values.Human total clearance values and volumes of distribution of 15 of the 24 test compounds similarly extrapolated using reported data sets from cynomolgus or rhesus monkeys were comparable to the present predicted results, especially to those based on data from PM marmosets.These results suggest that single-species allometric scaling using marmosets, being small, has advantages over multiple-species-based allometry and could be applicable for pharmacokinetic predictions at the discovery stage of drug development.

Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Modeling to Predict the Impact of CYP2C9 Genetic Polymorphisms, Co-Medication and Formulation on the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Flurbiprofen. Pharmaceutics 2020; 12:pharmaceutics12111049. [PMID: 33147873 PMCID: PMC7693160 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics12111049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2020] [Revised: 10/23/2020] [Accepted: 10/26/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Physiologically based pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PBPK/PD) models can serve as a powerful framework for predicting the influence as well as the interaction of formulation, genetic polymorphism and co-medication on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drug substances. In this study, flurbiprofen, a potent non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug, was chosen as a model drug. Flurbiprofen has absolute bioavailability of ~95% and linear pharmacokinetics in the dose range of 50–300 mg. Its absorption is considered variable and complex, often associated with double peak phenomena, and its pharmacokinetics are characterized by high inter-subject variability, mainly due to its metabolism by the polymorphic CYP2C9 (fmCYP2C9 ≥ 0.71). In this study, by leveraging in vitro, in silico and in vivo data, an integrated PBPK/PD model with mechanistic absorption was developed and evaluated against clinical data from PK, PD, drug-drug and gene-drug interaction studies. The PBPK model successfully predicted (within 2-fold) 36 out of 38 observed concentration-time profiles of flurbiprofen as well as the CYP2C9 genetic effects after administration of different intravenous and oral dosage forms over a dose range of 40–300 mg in both Caucasian and Chinese healthy volunteers. All model predictions for Cmax, AUCinf and CL/F were within two-fold of their respective mean or geometric mean values, while 90% of the predictions of Cmax, 81% of the predictions of AUCinf and 74% of the predictions of Cl/F were within 1.25 fold. In addition, the drug-drug and drug-gene interactions were predicted within 1.5-fold of the observed interaction ratios (AUC, Cmax ratios). The validated PBPK model was further expanded by linking it to an inhibitory Emax model describing the analgesic efficacy of flurbiprofen and applying it to explore the effect of formulation and genetic polymorphisms on the onset and duration of pain relief. This comprehensive PBPK/PD analysis, along with a detailed translational biopharmaceutic framework including appropriately designed biorelevant in vitro experiments and in vitro-in vivo extrapolation, provided mechanistic insight on the impact of formulation and genetic variations, two major determinants of the population variability, on the PK/PD of flurbiprofen. Clinically relevant specifications and potential dose adjustments were also proposed. Overall, the present work highlights the value of a translational PBPK/PD approach, tailored to target populations and genotypes, as an approach towards achieving personalized medicine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The cocktail approach of probing drug metabolizing enzymes, in particular cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, is a cornerstone in clinical pharmacology studies. The first report of the famous "Pittsburg cocktail" has led the way for the availability of numerous cocktail substrate mixtures that provide options for indexing of CYP enzymes and/or evaluating the perpetrator capacity of the drug. OBJECTIVE The key objectives were: 1) To collate, tabulate, and discuss the various cocktail substrates to determine specific CYP enzyme activity in clinical pharmacology studies with specific case studies; 2) To introspect on how the cocktail approach has withstood the test of time and evolved for enabling key decision(s); 3) To provide some futuristic views on the use of cocktail in drug discovery and development. METHOD The review was compiled after consultation with databases such as PubMed (NCBI database) and Google scholar to source various published literature on cocktail approaches in drug development. RESULTS In the reviewed case studies, CYP indexing was achieved using a single time point (differing for specific CYP enzyme) plasma determination of the metabolite to parent ratio for all CYP enzymes with the exception of CYP3A4/5, where multiple time points were required for exposure measurement of midazolam and its metabolite. Likewise, a single void of urine, for a specific time duration, has been utilized for the recovery measurements of parent and metabolite for CYP indexing purposes. CONCLUSION The review provides a comprehensive list of various types of cocktail approaches and discusses some key considerations including the evolution of the cocktail approaches over time, perspectives and futuristic views for the use of probe drugs to aid the execution of clinical pharmacology studies and data interpretation.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) is involved in the biotransformation of many commonly used drugs, and significant drug interactions have been reported for CYP2C9 substrates. Previously published physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models of tolbutamide are based on an assumption that its metabolic clearance is exclusively through CYP2C9; however, many studies indicate that CYP2C9 metabolism is only responsible for 80–90% of the total clearance. Therefore, these models are not useful for predicting the magnitude of CYP2C9 drug–drug interactions (DDIs). This paper describes the development and verification of SimCYP®-based PBPK models that accurately describe the human pharmacokinetics of tolbutamide when dosed alone or in combination with the CYP2C9 inhibitors sulfaphenazole and tasisulam. Methods A PBPK model was optimized in SimCYP® for tolbutamide as a CYP2C9 substrate, based on published in vitro and clinical data. This model was verified to replicate the magnitude of DDI reported with sulfaphenazole and was further applied to simulate the DDI with tasisulam, a small molecule investigated for the treatment of cancer. A clinical study (CT registration # NCT01185548) was conducted in patients with cancer to assess the pharmacokinetic interaction of tasisulum with tolbutamide. A PBPK model was built for tasisulam, and the clinical study design was replicated using the optimized tolbutamide model. Results The optimized tolbutamide model accurately predicted the magnitude of tolbutamide AUC increase (5.3–6.2-fold) reported for sulfaphenazole. Furthermore, the PBPK simulations in a healthy volunteer population adequately predicted the increase in plasma exposure of tolbutamide in patients with cancer (predicted AUC ratio = 4.7–5.4; measured mean AUC ratio = 5.7). Conclusions This optimized tolbutamide PBPK model was verified with two strong CYP2C9 inhibitors and can be applied to the prediction of CYP2C9 interactions for novel inhibitors. Furthermore, this work highlights the utility of mechanistic models in navigating the challenges in conducting clinical pharmacology studies in cancer patients.

Abstract
1. We investigated the change in the pharmacokinetic profile of tolbutamide (TB), a substrate for CYP2C6/11, 4 days after single administration of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and the hepatic gene expression and activity of CYP2C6/11 were also examined in 5-FU-pretreated rats. 2. Regarding the pharmacokinetic parameters of the 5-FU group, the area under the curve (AUC) was significantly increased, and correspondingly, the elimination rate constant at the terminal phase (ke) was significantly decreased without significant change in the volume of distribution at the steady state (Vdss). 3. The metabolic production of 4-hydroxylated TB in hepatic microsomes was significantly reduced by the administration of 5-FU. 4. The expression level of mRNAs for hepatic CYP2C6 and CYP2C11 was significantly lower than in the control group when the rats were pretreated with 5-FU. 5. These results demonstrated that the pharmacokinetic profile of TB was altered by the treatment with 5-FU through a metabolic process, which may be responsible for the decreased CYP2C6/11 expression at mRNA levels.

Abstract
Celecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitor, is used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. The predominant hepatic metabolism of celecoxib to celecoxib carboxylic acid (CCA) is mediated mainly by CYP2C9. We investigated the effects of the major CYP2C9 genetic variants in Asian populations, CYP2C9*3 and CYP2C9*13, on the pharmacokinetics of celecoxib and its carboxylic acid metabolite in healthy Korean subjects. A single 200-mg oral dose of celecoxib was given to 52 Korean subjects with different CYP2C9 genotypes: CYP2C9EM (n = 26; CYP2C9*1/*1), CYP2C9IM (n = 24; CYP2C9*1/*3 and *1/*13), and CYP2C9PM (n = 2; CYP2C9*3/*3). Celecoxib and CCA concentrations in plasma samples collected up to 48 or 96 h after drug intake were determined by HPLC-MS/MS. The mean area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC0-∞) of celecoxib was increased 1.63-fold (P < 0.001), and the apparent oral clearance (CL/F) of celecoxib was decreased by 39.6% in the CYP2C9IM genotype group compared with that of CYP2C9EM (P < 0.001). The overall pharmacokinetic parameters for celecoxib in CYP2C9*1/*13 subjects were similar to those in CYP2C9*1/*3 subjects. Two subjects with CYP2C9PM genotype both showed markedly higher AUC0-∞, prolonged half-life, and lower CL/F for celecoxib than did subjects with CYP2C9EM and IM genotypes. CYP2C9*3 and CYP2C9*13 variant alleles significantly affected the plasma concentration of celecoxib.

Abstract
The development of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) agents has reinvigorated the treatment of hepatitis C virus infection. The availability of multiple DAA agents and drug combinations has enabled the transition to interferon-free therapy that is applicable to a broad range of patients. However, these DAA combinations are not without drug-drug interactions (DDIs). As every possible DDI permutation cannot be evaluated in a clinical study, guidance is needed for healthcare providers to avoid or minimize drug interaction risk. In this review, we evaluated the DDI potential of the novel three-DAA combination of ombitasvir, paritaprevir, ritonavir, and dasabuvir (the 3D regimen) with more than 200 drugs representing 19 therapeutic drug classes. Outcomes of these DDI studies were compared with the metabolism and elimination routes of prospective concomitant medications to develop mechanism-based and drug-specific guidance on interaction potential. This analysis revealed that the 3D regimen is compatible with many of the drugs that are commonly prescribed to patients with hepatitis C virus infection. Where interaction is possible, risk can be mitigated by paying careful attention to concomitant medications, adjusting drug dosage as needed, and monitoring patient response and/or clinical parameters.

Abstract
Currently, genotyping of patients for polymorphic enzymes responsible for metabolic elimination is considered a possibility to adjust drug dose levels. For a patient to profit from this procedure, the interindividual differences in drug metabolism within one genotype should be smaller than those between different genotypes. We studied a large cohort of healthy young adults (283 subjects), correlating their CYP2C9 genotype to a simple phenotyping metric, using flurbiprofen as probe drug. Genotyping was conducted for CYP2C9*1, *2, *3. The urinary metabolic ratio MR (concentration of CYP2C9-dependent metabolite divided by concentration of flurbiprofen) determined two hours after flurbiprofen (8.75 mg) administration served as phenotyping metric. Linear statistical models correlating genotype and phenotype provided highly significant allele-specific MR estimates of 0.596 for the wild type allele CYP2C9*1, 0.405 for CYP2C9*2 (68 % of wild type), and 0.113 for CYP2C9*3 (19 % of wild type). If these estimates were used for flurbiprofen dose adjustment, taking 100 % for genotype *1/*1, an average reduction to 84 %, 60 %, 68 %, 43 %, and 19 % would result for genotype *1/*2, *1/*3, *2/*2, *2/*3, and *3/*3, respectively. Due to the large individual variation within genotypes with coefficients of variation ≥ 20 % and supposing the normal distribution, one in three individuals would be out of the average optimum dose by more than 20 %, one in 20 would be 40 % off. Whether this problem also applies to other CYPs and other drugs has to be investigated case by case. Our data for the given example, however, puts the benefit of individual drug dosing to question, if it is exclusively based on genotype.

Abstract
The potential inhibition of the major human cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes by faldaprevir was evaluated both in vitro and in clinical studies (healthy volunteers and hepatitis C virus [HCV] genotype 1-infected patients). In vitro studies indicated that faldaprevir inhibited CYP2B6, CYP2C9, and CYP3A, and was a weak-to-moderate inactivator of CYP3A4. Faldaprevir 240 mg twice daily in healthy volunteers demonstrated moderate inhibition of hepatic and intestinal CYP3A (oral midazolam: 2.96-fold increase in AUC(0-24 h)), weak inhibition of hepatic CYP3A (intravenous midazolam: 1.56-fold increase in AUC(0-24 h)), weak inhibition of CYP2C9 ([S]-warfarin: 1.29-fold increase in AUC(0-120 h)), and had no relevant effects on CYP1A2, CYP2B6, or CYP2D6. Faldaprevir 120 mg once daily in HCV-infected patients demonstrated weak inhibition of hepatic and intestinal CYP3A (oral midazolam: 1.52-fold increase in AUC(0-∞)), and had no relevant effects on CYP2C9 or CYP1A2. In vitro drug-drug interaction predictions based on inhibitor concentration ([I])/inhibition constant (Ki) ratios tended to overestimate clinical effects and a net-effect model provided a more accurate approach. These studies suggest that faldaprevir shows a dose-dependent inhibition of CYP3A and CYP2C9, and does not induce CYP isoforms.

Abstract
This study aims to improve the drug oral bioavailability by co-administration with flavonoid inhibitors of the CYP2C isozyme and to establish qualitative and quantitative (QSAR) structure-activity relationships (SAR) between flavonoids and CYP2C. A total of 40 naturally occurring flavonoids were screened in vitro for CYP2C inhibition. Enzyme activity was determined by measuring conversion of tolbutamide to 4-hydroxytolbutamide by rat liver microsomes. The percent inhibition and IC50 of each flavonoid were calculated and used to develop SAR and QSAR. The most effective flavonoid was orally co-administered in vivo with a cholesterol-reducing drug, fluvastatin, which is normally metabolized by CYP2C. The most potent CYP2C inhibitor identified in vitro was tamarixetin (IC50 = 1.4 μM). This flavonoid enhanced the oral bioavailability of fluvastatin in vivo, producing a >2-fold increase in the area under the concentration-time curve and in the peak plasma concentration. SAR analysis indicated that the presence of a 2,3-double bond in the C ring, hydroxylation at positions 5, 6, and 7, and glycosylation had important effects on flavonoid-CYP2C interactions. These findings should prove useful for predicting the inhibition of CYP2C activity by other untested flavonoid-like compounds. In the present study, tamarixetin significantly inhibited CYP2C activity in vitro and in vivo. Thus, the use of tamarixetin could improve the therapeutic efficacy of drugs with low bioavailability.

Abstract
PURPOSE Static and dynamic (PBPK) prediction models were applied to estimate the drug-drug interaction (DDI) risk of AZD2066. The predictions were compared to the results of an in vivo cocktail study. Various in vivo measures for tolbutamide as a probe agent for cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) were also compared. METHODS In vitro inhibition data for AZD2066 were obtained using human liver microsomes and CYP-specific probe substrates. DDI prediction was performed using PBPK modelling with the SimCYP simulator™ or static model. The cocktail study was an open label, baseline, controlled interaction study with 15 healthy volunteers receiving multiple doses of AD2066 for 12 days. A cocktail of single doses of 100 mg caffeine (CYP1A2 probe), 500 mg tolbutamide (CYP2C9 probe), 20 mg omeprazole (CYP2C19 probe) and 7.5 mg midazolam (CYP3A probe) was simultaneously applied at baseline and during the administration of AZD2066. Bupropion as a CYP2B6 probe (150 mg) and 100 mg metoprolol (CYP2D6 probe) were administered on separate days. The pharmacokinetic parameters for the probe drugs and their metabolites in plasma and urinary recovery were determined. RESULTS In vitro AZD2066 inhibited CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6. The static model predicted in vivo interaction with predicted AUC ratio values of >1.1 for all CYP (except CYP3A4). The PBPK simulations predicted no risk for clinical relevant interactions. The cocktail study showed no interaction for the CYP2B6 and CYP2C19 enzymes, a possible weak inhibition of CYP1A2, CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 activities and a slight inhibition (29 %) of CYP2D6 activity. The tolbutamide phenotyping metrics indicated that there were significant correlations between CLform and AUCTOL, CL, Aemet and LnTOL24h. The MRAe in urine showed no correlation to CLform. CONCLUSIONS DDI prediction using the static approach based on total concentration indicated that AZD20066 has a potential risk for inhibition. However, no DDI risk could be predicted when a more in vivo-like dynamic prediction method with the PBPK with SimCYP™ software based on early human PK data was used and more parameters (i.e. free fraction in plasma, no DDI risk) were taken into account. The clinical cocktail study showed no or low risks for clinical relevant DDI interactions. Our findings are in line with the hypothesis that the dynamic prediction method predicts DDI in vivo in humans better than the static model based on total plasma concentrations.

Abstract
AIM The present study evaluated the possibility of drug interactions involving blueberry juice (BBJ) and substrate drugs whose clearance is dependent on cytochromes P4503A (CYP3A) and P4502C9 (CYP2C9). METHODS A 50:50 mixture of lowbush and highbush BBJ was evaluated in vitro as an inhibitor of CYP3A activity (hydroxylation of triazolam and dealkylation of buspirone) and of CYP2C9 activity (flurbiprofen hydroxylation) using human liver microsomes. In clinical studies, clearance of oral buspirone and oral flurbiprofen was studied in healthy volunteers with and without co-treatment with BBJ. RESULTS BBJ inhibited CYP3A and CYP2C9 activity in vitro, with 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50 ) of less than 2%, but without evidence of mechanism-based (irreversible) inhibition. Grapefruit juice (GFJ) also inhibited CYP3A activity, but inhibitory potency was increased by pre-incubation, consistent with mechanism-based inhibition. In clinical studies, GFJ significantly increased area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) for the CYP3A substrate buspirone. The geometric mean ratio (GMR = AUC with GFJ divided by AUC with water) was 2.12. In contrast, the effect of BBJ (GMR = 1.39) was not significant. In the study of flurbiprofen (CYP2C9 substrate), the positive control inhibitor fluconazole significantly increased flurbiprofen AUC (GMR = 1.71), but BBJ had no significant effect (GMR = 1.03). CONCLUSION The increased buspirone AUC associated with BBJ is quantitatively small and could have occurred by chance. BBJ has no effect on flurbiprofen AUC. The studies provide no evidence for concern about clinically important pharmacokinetic drug interactions of BBJ with substrate drugs metabolized by CYP3A or CYP2C9.

Abstract
AIM To describe for the first time CYP2C9 hydroxylation phenotype with CYP2C9 genotypes in a Hispanic (Ecuadorian) population using losartan; and the relevance of gender, tobacco, ethanol and caffeine consumption on the enzyme hydroxylation capacity. METHODS Ecuadorian healthy volunteers (n = 194) received a single oral dose of 25 mg losartan. Losartan metabolic ratio was defined as losartan:E3174 concentration. CYP2C9 alleles *2, *3, *4, *5 and *6 were analyzed. RESULTS No phenotypically poor metabolizers were found. The metabolic ratio (mean ± standard deviation) was higher (p < 0.05) in CYP2C9*1/*3 carriers (12.4 ± 13.8; n = 6) versus CYP2C9*1/*1 (4.9 ± 7.0; n = 167), as well as in females versus males (6.72 ± 9.72 and 3.76 ± 4.48, respectively; p < 0.05). Only the following genotypes, CYP2C9*1/*1, CYP2C9*1/*2 and CYP2C9*1/*3, were found with a frequency of 86.1%, 10.8% and 3.1%, respectively. CONCLUSION Despite the mean metabolic ratio being higher in this population than in others previously studied across genotypes, no poor metabolizers, either phenotypically or genotypically, were found.

Abstract
Wuniu early tea (Camellia sinensis) is an important beverage consumed in China. Up to date, a lot of methods for identifying and chemical analysing have been done. However, there is no report on the effects of Wuniu early tea on cytochrome P450 isozymes. Therefore, the present objective of our study was to evaluate the potential effects of Wuniu early tea on cytochrome P450 isozymes P2C9, P1A2, P2C19 and P2B6 in rats with a cocktail approach including, matching probe drugs of tolbutamide, phenacetin, omeprazole and bupropion. These four probe drugs were simultaneously administered to rats after repeated Wuniu early tea administration. The pharmacokinetics of the probes in the plasma was simultaneous determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The t1/2 and AUC(0-∞) of tolbutamide increased significantly and CLz decreased remarkably in test rats after repeated Wuniu early tea administration. However, the main pharmacokinetic parameters of the other three probe drugs were not significantly different between control and test rats. The findings in this study suggested that Wuniu early tea could inhibit cytochrome P2C9 while did not influence on cytochrome P1A2, cytochrome P2C19 and cytochrome P2B6.

Abstract
Bosentan (Tracleer) is an endothelin receptor antagonist prescribed for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Its use is limited by drug-induced liver injury (DILI). To identify genetic markers of DILI, association analyses were performed on 56 Caucasian PAH patients receiving bosentan. Twelve functional polymorphisms in five genes (ABCB11, ABCC2, CYP2C9, SLCO1B1, and SLCO1B3) implicated in bosentan pharmacokinetics were tested for associations with alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and DILI. After adjusting for body mass index, CYP2C9*2 was the only polymorphism associated with ALT, AST, and DILI (β = 2.16, P = 0.024; β = 1.92, P = 0.016; odds ratio 95% CI = 2.29-∞, P = 0.003, respectively). Bosentan metabolism by CYP2C9*2 in vitro was significantly reduced compared with CYP2C9*1 and was comparable to that by CYP2C9*3. These results suggest that CYP2C9*2 is a potential genetic marker for prediction of bosentan-induced liver injury and warrants investigation for the optimization of bosentan treatment.

Abstract
A personalized medicine, a recent trend of clinical pharmacology, makes possible the individual approach to the choice of the drugs and their dosage. According to the results of a study of the activity of different biomarkers, particularly the isoenzymes of the cytochrome P-450, they provide the efficiency and safety of the pharmacotherapy. The activity of the isoenzymes of the cytochrome P-450 determines an individual pharmacological response and depends on many factors, including genetic ones. The biomarkers of the activity of the isoenzymes of the cytochrome P-450 should be tested in the clinical practice settings using the simple and cheap methods, one of the most available is an immunofluorescent assay. The skilled staff and the centers of personalized medicine are necessary for this approach.

Abstract
Angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonists (ARBs) have become an important drug class in the treatment of hypertension and heart failure and the protection from diabetic nephropathy. Eight ARBs are clinically available [azilsartan, candesartan, eprosartan, irbesartan, losartan, olmesartan, telmisartan, valsartan]. Azilsartan (in some countries), candesartan, and olmesartan are orally administered as prodrugs, whereas the blocking action of some is mediated through active metabolites. On the basis of their chemical structures, ARBs use different binding pockets in the receptor, which are associated with differences in dissociation times and, in most cases, apparently insurmountable antagonism. The physicochemical differences between ARBs also manifest in different tissue penetration, including passage through the blood-brain barrier. Differences in binding mode and tissue penetration are also associated with differences in pharmacokinetic profile, particularly duration of action. Although generally highly specific for angiotensin II type 1 receptors, some ARBs, particularly telmisartan, are partial agonists at peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ. All of these properties are comprehensively reviewed in this article. Although there is general consensus that a continuous receptor blockade over a 24-hour period is desirable, the clinical relevance of other pharmacological differences between individual ARBs remains to be assessed.

Abstract
There is an increasing interest in the simultaneous administration of several probe substrates to characterize the activity of multiple drug-metabolizing enzymes, the so-called "cocktail" approach. However, this method remains controversial and is being investigated more extensively. No general consensus has emerged on the applicability of this approach in clinical investigation and during drug development. The objective of the article is to review this important yet specialized technique, as well as its merits, drawbacks, and potential application in drug development. Among the two-, three-, four-, five-, and six-drug in vivo cocktails previously evaluated in humans, a variety of substrate probe combinations have been studied. Some probe combinations have been validated not to interact in vivo and have been useful in characterizing drug-drug interaction potential and metabolic enzyme induction in humans. For drug candidates that affect two or more in vitro pathways or are potential gene inducers, the use of a cocktail approach may facilitate the rapid delineation of the drug candidate's drug interaction potential. It may also offer the potential of providing clear guidance on safely conducting larger clinical studies and limiting comedication restrictions to only those likely to be clinically relevant.

Abstract
Identification of polymorphism of cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) enzymes in different ethnic populations is important to understand the differences in clinical responses to drugs. This study determines the CYP2C9 genetic polymorphism in Indian National Capital Region and correlates the phenotype-genotype. Losartan (25 mg) was administered to 107 volunteers to assess CYP2C9 activity, and, on the basis of results, volunteers were categorized as rapid and poor metabolizers. Molecular typing of CYP2C9*1 (wild type), CYP2C9*2, and CYP2C9*3 (the most common variant) was carried out by single-base primer extension technology for 37 subjects, of which 9 were poor metabolizers, and 28 were rapid metabolizers. 14.28 % of the studied population was identified as poor metabolizer for the category of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9. Significant difference was observed between the mean ratio (drug/metabolite) of poor (11.38 ± 5.88) and rapid (1.18 ± 1.11) drug metabolizers. The study suggests that phenotyping of CYP2C9 is desirable before enrollment of subjects for clinical trials or for deciding drug dose regimen as 14.28 % of study population was found to be poor metabolizer for the category of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9. This study establishes phenotype-genotype correlation, and proposes to use genotyping or phenotyping to evaluate the status of drug metabolizing capacity of CYP2C9 as a primary screening procedure before enrolling subjects in clinical trials or in clinical practice.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycaemia. Its complications such as neuropathy, cardiopathy, nephropathy, and micro and macro vascular diseases are believed to be due to the increase in oxidative stress and decrease in the level of antioxidants. The aim of this study was to determine the antihyperglycemic activity of synthetic Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. The synthetic SDG in a single-dose (20 mg/kg b.w.) two-day study showed dose-dependent reduction in glucose levels with maximum effect of 64.62% at 48 h post drug treatment (p<0.05), which is comparable to that of the standard drug tolbutamide (20 mg/kg b.w.). In a multi-dose fourteen-day study, lower doses of SDG (5 and 10 mg/kg b.w.) exhibited moderate reduction in glucose levels, lipid profile, restoration of antioxidant enzymes and improvement of the insulin and c-peptide levels which shows the regeneration of β-cell which secretes insulin. Altered levels of lipids and enzymatic antioxidants were also restored by the SDG to the considerable levels in diabetic rats. Results of the present investigation suggest that diabetes is associated with an increase in oxidative stress as shown by increase in serum malondialdehyde (MDA), decreased levels of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione (GSH). Also, diabetes is associated with an increase in serum total cholesterol as well as triglycerides levels and decrease in insulin and c-peptide levels. SDG is effective in retarding the development of diabetic complications. We propose that synthetic SDG exerts anti hyperglycemic effect by preventing the liver from peroxidation damage through inhibition of ROS level mediated increased level of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants. And, also maintaining tissue function which results in improving the sensitivity and response of target cells in STZ-induced diabetic rats to insulin.

Abstract
Nutrient interactions with prescription drugs are a topic of ongoing basic and clinical research. Pomegranate juice and a 1-g capsule containing pomegranate extract were evaluated in vitro and in vivo as inhibitors of cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9), with flurbiprofen serving as the index substrate. Fluconazole was the positive control inhibitor. The in vitro 50% inhibitory concentration (IC(50)) values for pomegranate juice and extract were below 1% (vol/vol), with no evidence of mechanism-based (irreversible) inhibition. In clinical studies, flurbiprofen pharmacokinetics were unchanged by pomegranate juice or extract as compared to a low-polyphenol placebo control beverage. However, fluconazole significantly reduced the oral clearance of flurbiprofen. Despite inhibition of CYP2C9 in vitro, pomegranate juice and extract had no effect on CYP2C9 activity in human subjects, and can be consumed by patients taking CYP2C9 substrate drugs with negligible risk of a pharmacokinetic interaction.

Abstract
Xenobiotics constantly influence biological systems through several means of interaction. These interactions are disturbed in type 2 diabetes, with implications for disease outcome. We aimed to study the implications of such disturbances on type 2 diabetes and rice consumption, the results of which could affect management of the disease in developing countries. In a type 2 diabetic rat model induced through a combination of high fat diet and low dose streptozotocin injection, up-regulation of xenobiotic metabolism genes in the diabetic untreated group was observed. Xenobiotic metabolism genes were upregulated more in the white rice (WR) group than the diabetic untreated group while the brown rice (BR) group showed significantly lower expression values, though not as effective as metformin, which gave values closer to the normal non-diabetic group. The fold changes in expression in the WR group compared to the BR group for Cyp2D4, Cyp3A1, Cyp4A1, Cyp2B1, Cyp2E1, Cyp2C11, UGT2B1, ALDH1A1 and Cyp2C6 were 2.6, 2, 1.5, 4, 2.8, 1.5, 1.8, 3 and 5, respectively. Our results suggest that WR may upregulate these genes in type 2 diabetes more than BR, potentially causing faster drug metabolism, less drug efficacy and more toxicity. These results may have profound implications for rice eating populations, constituting half the world’s population.

Abstract
We investigated whether a single blood measurement using the minimally invasive technique of a finger prick to draw a blood sample of 5 µl (to yield a dried blood spot (DBS)) is suitable for the assessment of flurbiprofen (FLB) metabolic ratio (MR). Ten healthy volunteers who had been genotyped for CYP2C9 were recruited as subjects. They received FLB alone in session 1 and FLB with fluconazole in session 2. In session 3, the subjects were pretreated for 4 days with rifampicin and received FLB with the last dose of rifampicin on day 5. Plasma and DBS samples were obtained between 0 and 8 h after FLB administration, and urine was collected during the 8 h after administration. The pharmacokinetic profiles of the drugs were comparable in DBS and plasma. FLB's apparent clearance values decreased by 35% in plasma and DBS during session 2 and increased by 75% in plasma and by 30% in DBS during session 3. Good correlations were observed between MRs calculated from urine, plasma, and DBS samples.

Functional evaluation of genetic and environmental regulators of p450 mRNA levels. PLoS One 2011; 6:e24900.

Abstract
Variations in the activities of Cytochrome P450s are one of the major factors responsible for inter-individual differences in drug clearance rates, which may cause serious toxicity or inefficacy of therapeutic drugs. Various mRNA level is one of the key factors for different activity of the major P450 genes. Although both genetic and environmental regulators of P450 gene expression have been widely investigated, few studies have evaluated the functional importance of cis- and trans-regulatory factors and environmental factors in the modulation of inter-individual expression variations of the P450 genes. In this study, we measured the mRNA levels of seven major P450 genes (CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4 and CYP3A5) in 96 liver biopsy samples from Chinese population. Both trans-acting (mRNA levels and non-synonymous SNPs of putative regulator genes) and cis-acting (gene copy number and functional SNPs) factors were investigated to identify the determinants of the expression variations of these seven P450 genes. We found that expression variations of most P450 genes, regulator genes and housekeeping genes were positively correlated at the mRNA level. After partial correlation analysis using ACTB and GAPDH expression to eliminate the effect of global regulators, a UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean) tree was constructed to reveal the effects of specific regulation networks potentially masked by global regulators. Combined with the functional analysis of regulators, our results suggested that expression variation at the mRNA level was mediated by several factors in a gene-specific manner. Cis-acting genetic variants might play key roles in the expression variation of CYP2D6 and CYP3A5, environmental inducers might play key roles in CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 variation and global regulators might play key roles in CYP2C9 variation. In addition, the functions of regulators that play less important roles in controlling expression variation for each P450 gene were determined.

Abstract
A new, simple, rapid, sensitive, and repeatable reversed-phase HPLC method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of tolbutamide, phenacetin and their metabolites in rat liver perfusate. Chlorpropamide was used as an internal standard to ensure the precision and accuracy of this method. Analytes were extracted into diethyl ether using a two-step liquid-liquid extraction. A C18 analytical column and a mobile phase composed of acetonitrile and potassium phosphate buffer were used for the chromatographic separation with UV detection. Limits of detection varied between 20 and 46ng/mL for phenacetin, tolbutamide and their metabolites. The overall extraction recovery for the analytes varied from 65.4% in paracetamol to 88.0% in tolbutamide for concentrations within the expected range of concentrations from previous experimental samples. In terms of precision, the intra- and inter-day variation at three different concentrations in all analytes never exceeded 7.6 and 11.4%, respectively. This method is applicable for the modeling and description of possible pharmacological interactions on rat cytochromes P450 1A2 and 2C6/11 or can be used for in vitro evaluation of both cytochromes 1A2 and 2C.

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
Human cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) accounts for ∼20% of hepatic total CYP content and metabolizes ~15% clinical drugs such as phenytoin, S-warfarin, tolbutamide, losartan, and many nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs). CYP2C9 is highly polymorphic, with at least 33 variants of CYP2C9 (*1B through *34) being identified so far. CYP2C9*2 is frequent among Caucasians with ~1% of the population being homozygous carriers and 22% are heterozygous. The corresponding figures for the CYP2C9*3 allele are 0.4% and 15%, respectively. There are a number of clinical studies addressing the impact of CYP2C9 polymorphisms on the clearance and/or therapeutic response of therapeutic drugs. These studies have highlighted the importance of the CYP2C9*2 and *3 alleles as a determining factor for drug clearance and drug response. The CYP2C9 polymorphisms are relevant for the efficacy and adverse effects of numerous NSAIDs, sulfonylurea antidiabetic drugs and, most critically, oral anticoagulants belonging to the class of vitamin K epoxide reductase inhibitors. Warfarin has served as a practical example of how pharmacogenetics can be utilized to achieve maximum efficacy and minimum toxicity. For many of these drugs, a clear gene-dose and gene-effect relationship has been observed in patients. In this regard, CYP2C9 alleles can be considered as a useful biomarker in monitoring drug response and adverse effects. Genetic testing of CYP2C9 is expected to play a role in predicting drug clearance and conducting individualized pharmacotherapy. However, prospective clinical studies with large samples are warranted to establish gene-dose and gene-effect relationships for CYP2C9 and its substrate drugs.

Abstract
The effects of genetic polymorphisms in drug-metabolizing enzymes (e.g., CYP2C9(*)3) on drug clearance have been well characterized but much less is known about whether these polymorphisms alter susceptibility to drug-drug interactions. Previous in vitro work has demonstrated that genotype-dependent inhibition of CYP2C9 mediated flurbiprofen metabolism, suggesting the possibility of genotype-dependent inhibition interactions in vivo. In the current study, flurbiprofen was used as a probe substrate and fluconazole as a prototypical inhibitor to investigate whether genotype-dependent inhibition of CYP2C9 occurs in vivo. From 189 healthy volunteers who were genotyped for CYP2C9 polymorphisms, 11 control subjects (CYP2C9(*)1/(*)1), 9 heterozygous and 2 homozygous for the CYP2C9(*)3 allele participated in the pharmacokinetic drug interaction study. Subjects received a single 50-mg oral dose of flurbiprofen alone or after administration of either 200 or 400 mg of fluconazole for 7 days using an open, randomized, crossover design. Flurbiprofen and fluconazole plasma concentrations along with flurbiprofen and 4'-hydroxyflurbiprofen urinary excretion were monitored. Flurbiprofen apparent oral clearance differed significantly among the three genotype groups (p < 0.05) at baseline but not after pretreatment with 400 mg of fluconazole for 7 days. Changes in flurbiprofen apparent oral clearance after fluconazole coadministration were gene dose-dependent, with virtually no change occurring in (*)3/(*)3 subjects. Analysis of fractional clearances suggested that the fraction metabolized by CYP2C9, as influenced by genotype, determined the degree of drug interaction observed. In summary, the presence of CYP2C9(*)3 alleles (either one or two alleles) can alter the degree of drug interaction observed upon coadministration of inhibitors.

Abstract
Intensive blood glucose lowering can significantly reduce the risk of micro- and macrovascular complications in patients with diabetes mellitus. However, 30% of all treated patients do not achieve optimal blood glucose levels. Genetic factors may influence the response to glucose-lowering medication. A search of MEDLINE-indexed literature published between January 1966 and July 2007 revealed 37 studies reporting data on genetic polymorphisms and response to glucose-lowering drugs. Most studies involving cytochrome P450 (CYP) genes had small sample sizes (21 studies <50 subjects) and were among healthy volunteers. Multiple studies indicated that the CYP2C9 *3 allele (Ile359Leu polymorphism) was associated with decreased clearance of sulfonylurea drugs. Supporting this, one study reported an increased insulin secretion in CYP2C9*3 allele carriers when using the sulfonylurea agent glyburide. The CYP2C9*3 allele was also associated with a decreased clearance of meglitinides, whereas the CYP2C8*3 (Arg139Lys; Lys399Arg) variant increased the clearance of meglitinides. Polymorphisms in genes encoding the inwardly rectifying potassium channel Kir6.2 (KCNJ11) and the insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS1) were reported to be associated with an increased risk of (secondary) failure to respond to sulfonylurea therapy. A significant decrease in fasting plasma glucose and hemoglobin A(1c) (HbA(1c)) in response to rosiglitazone was seen in subjects carrying the Pro12Ala polymorphism of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARG) gene. Conversely, carriers of this polymorphism also had a higher conversion to diabetes mellitus when treated with acarbose; this effect was also seen in adiponectin (ADIPOQ) gene polymorphism carriers. Future studies with adequate sample sizes in which several SNPs in multiple candidate genes are genotyped in patients with diabetes should provide reliable information on genetic variants and response to glucose-lowering drugs.
