Tailor-made medicine in Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy

Pharmacokinetic profiles of omeprazole and lansoprazole were well correlated with the CYP2C19 genotype. The heterozygous extensive metabolizer was slightly different from the homozygote, but there was no statistically significant difference. The CYP2C19 genotype dependence found for lansoprazole was not obvious compared with omeprazole. As for rabeprazole, the pharmacokinetic profile was independent of the CYP2C19 genotype. CYP2C19 genotyping can provide a new strategy to choose an optimal regimen, and this genotyping is especially useful for Japanese, as the frequency of poor metabolizers is five times greater than that found among Caucasians. However, we should be aware that the increase of antimicrobial-resistant strains of H. pylori may force us to examine antimicrobial susceptibility of all patients in order to achieve a more than 80% eradication rate at first-line therapy in the near future. We should also have proper knowledge of the influence of the CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism on treatment efficacy according to the variety of PPI and the combination with other drugs.     

Effect of genotypic differences in CYP2C19 on cure rates for Helicobacter pylori infection by triple therapy with a proton pump inhibitor, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin

BACKGROUND: Proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole and lansoprazole are mainly metabolized by CYP2C19 in the liver. The therapeutic effects of proton pump inhibitors are assumed to depend on CYP2C19 genotype status. OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether CYP2C19 genotype status was related to eradication rates of H pylori by triple proton pump inhibitor-clarithromycin-amoxicillin (INN, amoxicilline) therapy and attempted to establish a strategy for treatment after failure to eradicate H pylori. METHODS: A total of 261 patients infected with H pylori completed initial treatment with 20 mg of omeprazole or 30 mg of lansoprazole twice a day, 200 mg of clarithromycin three times a day, and 500 mg of amoxicillin three times a day for 1 week. CYP2C19 genotypes of patients were determined with polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Patients without eradication after initial treatment were retreated with 30 mg of lansoprazole four times daily and 500 mg of amoxicillin four times daily for 2 weeks. RESULTS: Eradication rates for H pylori were 72.7% (95% confidence interval, 64.4%-81.8%), 92.1% (confidence interval, 86.4%-97.3%), and 97.8% (confidence interval, 88.5%-99.9%) in the homozygous extensive, heterozygous extensive, and poor metabolizer groups, respectively. Thirty-four of 35 patients without eradication had an extensive metabolizer genotype of CYP2C19. Nineteen of those patients were infected with clarithromycin-resistant strains of H pylori. However, there were no amoxicillin-resistant strains of H pylori. Re-treatment of H pylori infection with dual high-dose lansoprazole-amoxicillin therapy succeeded in 30 of 31 patients with extensive metabolizer genotype of CYP2C19. CONCLUSION: The majority of patients without initial eradication of H pylori had an extensive metabolizer CYP2C19 genotype but were successfully re-treated with high doses of lansoprazole and an antibiotic to which H pylori was sensitive, such as amoxicillin, even when the patients were infected with clarithromycin-resistant strains of H pylori.     

Effect of high-dose lansoprazole on intragastic pH in subjects who are homozygous extensive metabolizers of cytochrome P4502C19.

BACKGROUNDS AND AIM: Lansoprazole is mainly metabolized by cytochrome P4502C19 (CYP2C19) in the liver. The effect of lansoprazole is assumed to be insufficient in subjects who are homozygous extensive metabolizers of CYP2C19. This study aimed to examine whether the CYP2C19 genotype status affected the acid-inhibitory effects of lansoprazole and to develop a strategy to overcome this pharmacogenetic problem. METHODS: Eighteen Helicobacter pylori-negative healthy volunteers, whose CYP2C19 genotypic status had been assessed, participated in the study. They consisted of 7 subjects who were homozygous extensive metabolizers, 7 subjects who were heterozygous extensive metabolizers, and 4 subjects who were poor metabolizers of CYP2C19, who took a placebo or lansoprazole 30 mg once daily in the morning for 8 days. On day 8 of dosing, 24-hour intragastric pH values were recorded. Five of the homozygous extensive metabolizer subjects underwent the 24-hour intragastric pH monitoring on day 8 of dosing of lansoprazole 30 mg 4 times daily. RESULTS: When lansoprazole 30 mg was given once daily, the mean 24-hour intragastric pH values in the subjects who were homozygous extensive metabolizers, heterozygous extensive metabolizers, and poor metabolizers were 4.5, 4.9, and 5.5, respectively (P <.005). On day 8 of dosing of lansoprazole 30 mg 4 times daily in subjects who were homozygous extensive metabolizers, the mean 24-hour intragastric pH value was 7.4. CONCLUSION: The effect of lansoprazole on intragastric pH depended significantly on CYP2C19 genotype status. Complete acid inhibition could be achieved by the frequent administration of lansoprazole (eg, 30 mg 4 times daily) in subjects who were homozygous extensive metabolizers. A genotyping test of CYP2C19 status appears useful for prescribing an optimal dosing scheme of lansoprazole.     

Effect of cytochrome P4502C19 genotypic differences on cure rates for gastroesophageal reflux disease by lansoprazole

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The acid-inhibitory effect of lansoprazole depends on differences in cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 genotypes. We assessed whether therapeutic effects of lansoprazole on gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) depended on the CYP2C19 genotype status in relation to the grade of GERD. METHODS: A total of 65 patients with GERD (grades A-D) completed treatment with lansoprazole, by taking 30 mg orally once a day for 8 weeks. The CYP2C19 genotype status of patients was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Before and after treatment, esophageal endoscopy was performed. GERD was considered to be cured on the basis of endoscopic findings at the end of treatment. Plasma lansoprazole levels could be determined at 3 hours after the last 30-mg dose of lansoprazole in the 27 genotyped patients. RESULTS: Cure rates for GERD depended significantly on the CYP2C19 genotype status, as well as the grade of GERD before treatment. Cure rates in the homozygous extensive, heterozygous extensive, and poor metabolizer groups were 45.8%, 67.9%, and 84.6%, respectively. Cure rates in the groups with GERD grade A, grade B, and grade C or D were 85.0%, 60.0%, and 45.0%, respectively. The cure rate in patients with the homozygous extensive metabolizer genotype of CYP2C19 with a GERD grade of C or D was very low (16.7%). Plasma lansoprazole levels in patients with the homozygous extensive metabolizer genotype were the lowest of the 3 groups. CONCLUSIONS: CYP2C19 genotype status, as well as the grade of GERD before treatment, is one of the determinants for the success or failure of treatment of GERD with lansoprazole. The low cure rate in patients with the homozygous extensive metabolizer genotype appeared to be a result of these patients having the lowest plasma lansoprazole levels among the 3 genotype groups.     

Effects of clarithromycin on the metabolism of omeprazole in relation to CYP2C19 genotype status in humans.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A triple therapy with omeprazole, amoxicillin (INN, amoxicilline), and clarithromycin is widely used for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori. Omeprazole and clarithromycin are metabolized by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4. This study aimed to elucidate whether clarithromycin affects the metabolism of omeprazole. METHODS: After administration of placebo or 400 mg clarithromycin twice a day for 3 days, 20 mg omeprazole and placebo or 400 mg clarithromycin were administered to 21 healthy volunteers. Plasma concentrations of omeprazole and clarithromycin and their metabolites were determined before and 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 24 hours after dosing. CYP2C19 genotype status was determined by a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. RESULTS: Subjects were classified into three groups on the basis of PCR-RFLP analyses for CYP2C19: homozygous extensive metabolizer group (n = 6), heterozygous extensive metabolizer group (n = 11), and poor metabolizer group (n = 4). Mean area under the plasma concentration-time curves from 0 to 24 hours (AUC) of omeprazole in the homozygous extensive metabolizer, heterozygous extensive metabolizer, and poor metabolizer groups were significantly increased by clarithromycin from 383.9 to 813.1, from 1001.9 to 2110.4, and from 5589.7 to 13098.6 ng x h/mL, respectively. There were significant differences in the mean AUC values of clarithromycin among the three groups. CONCLUSION: Clarithromycin inhibits the metabolism of omeprazole. Drug interaction between clarithromycin and omeprazole may underlie high eradication rates achieved by triple therapy with omeprazole, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin.     

Relationship between the acid-inhibitory effects of two proton pump inhibitors and CYP2C19 genotype in Japanese subjects: a randomized two-way crossover study

This two-way crossover study investigated possible differences between the proton pump inhibitors, omeprazole and rabeprazole, in their effect on gastric acid secretion in Japanese subjects with differing cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily C, polypeptide 19 (CYP2C19) genotypes. A total of 23 Helicobacter pylori-negative healthy volunteers received omeprazole 20 mg/day and rabeprazole 10 mg/day. Each drug treatment was given for a continuous 7-day period allocated in random order, with an interval of at least 1 week between drug treatment periods to allow for wash-out. Intragastric pH was measured on days 1 and 7. Overall median intragastric pH levels at 7 and 8 h after the first administration were significantly higher with omeprazole. There was no significant difference in intragastric pH in homozygous extensive metabolizers, whereas intragastric pH was significantly higher with omeprazole in combined data from heterozygous extensive metabolizers and poor metabolizers at 6, 7 and 8 h after the first drug administration. There were no significant differences in intragastric pH between omeprazole and rabeprazole irrespective of genotype on day 7 of administration. In conclusion, on day 1 the time to onset of the antisecretory action of 20 mg/day omeprazole was more rapid than that of 10 mg/day rabeprazole in Japanese individuals who have a higher incidence of the CYP2C19 poor metabolizer genotype, however by day 7 no difference in antisecretory effect was found, regardless of genotype.     

Effect of omeprazole on the pharmacokinetics of moclobemide according to the genetic polymorphism of CYP2C19

BACKGROUND: Moclobemide, an antidepressant with selective monoamine oxidase-A inhibitory action, is known to be metabolized by CYP2C19 and is also reported to be an inhibitor of CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP1A2. To confirm the involvement of CYP2C19, we performed a pharmacokinetic interaction study. METHODS: The effect of omeprazole on the pharmacokinetics of moclobemide was studied in 16 healthy volunteers. The volunteer group comprised 8 extensive metabolizers and 8 poor metabolizers of CYP2C19, which was confirmed by genotyping. Subjects were randomly allocated into two sequence groups, and a single-blind, placebo-controlled, two-period crossover study was performed. In study I, a placebo was orally administered for 7 days. On the eighth morning, 300 mg of moclobemide and 40 mg of placebo were coadministered with 200 mL of water, and a pharmacokinetic study was performed. During study II, 40 mg of omeprazole was given each morning instead of placebo, and pharmacokinetic studies were performed on the first and eighth day with 300 mg of moclobemide coadministration. RESULTS: The inhibition of moclobemide metabolism was significant in extensive metabolizers even after a single dose of omeprazole. After daily administration of omeprazole for 1 week, the pharmacokinetic parameters of moclobemide and its metabolites in extensive metabolizers changed to values similar to those in poor metabolizers. In poor metabolizers, no remarkable changes in the pharmacokinetic parameters were observed. CONCLUSION: Our results show that CYP2C19 is an important enzyme in the elimination of moclobemide and that it is extensively inhibited by omeprazole in extensive metabolizers, but not in poor metabolizers.     

Enantioselective disposition of lansoprazole in extensive and poor metabolizers of CYP2C19

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the enantioselective disposition of lansoprazole in relation to the genetic polymorphism of CYP2C19. METHODS: A single oral dose of racemic lansoprazole (30 mg) was administered to 6 extensive metabolizers and 6 poor metabolizers whose genotypes were determined by use of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated from the plasma concentrations of lansoprazole racemate, its enantiomers, and metabolites, which were measured for 24 hours after drug administration. The unbound fraction of lansoprazole enantiomers was determined by means of ultrafiltration of fresh human serum spiked with racemic lansoprazole. RESULTS: The plasma concentrations of R(+)-lansoprazole were consistently higher than those of the S(-)-enantiomer in both extensive and poor metabolizers of CYP2C19, and the mean area under the plasma concentration-time curve of the (+)- and (-)-enantiomers showed 4.3- and 5.8-fold differences between poor and extensive metabolizers, respectively. The (+)/(-) ratios of lansoprazole clearance were not significantly different between poor and extensive metabolizers (0.19 +/- 0.07 and 0.05 +/- 0.08, respectively). The values for volume of distribution of the (-)-enantiomer were 3- and 10-fold greater, respectively, than those of the (+)-enantiomer in poor and extensive metabolizers, which was related to a 2-fold higher unbound fraction of the (-)-enantiomer. CONCLUSIONS: The effect of CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism on the enantioselective disposition of lansoprazole seems to be less significant than the effect on omeprazole and pantoprazole. The disposition of lansoprazole enantiomers appears to be influenced by enantioselective protein binding and by enantioselective metabolism of lansoprazole.     

CYP2C19 genetic mutations in North Indians

OBJECTIVES: To identify defective alleles of CYP2C19 (CYP2C19*2 and *3) in North Indians. METHODS: One hundred extensive metabolizers and 21 poor metabolizers of omeprazole were genotyped with respect to CYP2C19*2 and *3 alleles with polymerase chain reaction-based diagnostic tests. RESULTS: Fifty-two extensive metabolizers and six poor metabolizers were homozygous with the CYP2C19*1/*1 genotype, and 48 extensive metabolizers and six poor metabolizers were heterozygous with the CYP2C19*1/*2 genotype. Nine poor metabolizers were homozygous with the CYP2C19*2/*2 genotype. No extensive or poor metabolizers demonstrated the presence of the CYP2C19*3 allele. CYP2C19*2 could explain 43% (9/21) of the poor metabolizers and 57% (24/42) of the defective alleles in poor metabolizers. Allele frequency of CYP2C19*1 and *2 was 0.7 (95% confidence interval of 0.65 to 0.75) and 0.3 (95% confidence interval of 0.25 to 0.35), respectively. Homozygous extensive metabolizers excreted 7.85 +/- 7.6 micromol 5-hydroxyomeprazole in 8 hours, which was 28% more as compared with heterozygous extensive metabolizers who excreted 5.6 +/- 3.6 micromol 5-hydroxyomeprazole in 8 hours (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS: CYP2C19*2 demonstrated allele frequency of 0.3, whereas CYP2C19*3 was absent in North Indians. Because CYP2C19*2 is not able to explain 57% of poor metabolizers, other mutations (CYP2C19*4 to *8) might be present in North Indians. CYP2C19 demonstrated differential evolution in North Indians because the frequency of CYP2C19*2 was similar to that in Oriental subjects, but that of CYP2C19*3 was similar to that in white subjects.     

Effect of antituberculosis treatment on CYP2C19 enzyme activity in genetically polymorphic South Indian Tamilian population

Patients on antituberculosis therapy (ATT) are more prone to drug interactions in the presence of coexisting illnesses which require drug therapy. Rifampicin is a pleiotropic inducer of CYP enzymes, and isoniazid is an enzyme inhibitor. Genetic variations are common in the gene coding for CYP2C19 enzyme. These variations would be important in predicting the individual variations in CYP2C19 activity. The objectives of the study were to find the net effect of 1‐month ATT on CYP2C19 enzyme activity and its association with CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms. Newly diagnosed tuberculosis patients (n = 125) were included in the study. Before commencing ATT, they were given a single dose of omeprazole 20 mg as a probe drug for CYP2C19. Blood sample was collected after 3 h to carry out phenotyping for CYP2C19 enzyme by measuring omeprazole hydroxylation index (OHI) using LC‐MS/MS. The phenotyping procedure was repeated after 1 month of ATT. CYP2C19 genotyping was carried out by PCR‐RFLP method. Significant reduction in OHI was observed after 1 month of ATT in all the metabolizer groups. The percentage reduction in OHI was maximum with poor metabolizers, 84.1 (IQR – 74.6, 86.6), and minimum with ultra‐rapid metabolizers, 39.6 (IQR – 12.7, 54.7). CYP2C19 enzyme induction is predominant in patients after 1 month of antituberculosis treatment (ATT). Genetic variations in the enzyme could not clearly explain the interindividual differences in induction. There is a potential risk of drug failure/adverse effect in poor metabolizers regardless of their genotype after ATT.     

Cytochrome P-450 2D6 and 2C19 polymorphisms and length of hospitalization in psychiatry

We evaluated whether cytochrome P450 (CYP) poor metabolizer polymorphisms of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 are relevant for the outcome (measured by length of hospitalization) during treatment with psychotropic medications in patients with depression or schizophrenia. 229 patients were genotyped by real-time PCR hybridization probe melting curve technique for CYP2C19*2, CYP2D6*3, *4, and *6, respectively. The gene deletion CYP2D6*5 was analyzed by a long PCR method. Detailed clinical information was obtained from 53 subjects. Patients genotyped homozygous or heterozygous for those CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 poor metabolizer alleles were treated for a longer time in hospital (median 57.5 vs. 40.0 days). Psychiatric patients might benefit from CYP genotyping, the duration of stay as inpatient might be reduced by a priori selection of the appropriate drug for the individual patient.

5-hydroxylation of omeprazole by human liver microsomal fractions from Chinese populations related to CYP2C19 gene dose and individual ethnicity

It has been previously reported that omeprazole (OP) oxidation is mediated by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 in human livers. In this study, we assessed their relative contributions with human liver microsomal fractions from Chinese populations that were genotyped by CYP2C19 and recruited from two ethnic groups, Han and Zhuang. The kinetics of 5-hydroxyomeprazole (5-OH-OP) formation was best described by the two-enzyme and single-enzyme Michaelis-Menten equations for liver microsomes from CYP2C19 extensive (EMs) and poor metabolizers, respectively. At a low substrate concentration that may be encountered in vivo, the monoclonal antibody to CYP2C8/9/19 strongly inhibited 5-OH-OP formation in EM microsomes, whereas troleandomycin (TAO) eliminated most of the formation at a high substrate concentration. In poor metabolizer microsomes, either TAO or anti-CYP3A4 could alone abolish 5-OH-OP formation. Furthermore, there were differences between homozygous and heterozygous EMs in the percentage of inhibition by TAO and the antibodies. At the low substrate concentration, OP 5-hydroxyaltion was correlated well with S-mephenytoin 4'-hydroxylation and CYP2C19 contents in liver microsomes of 34 Chinese individuals. Moreover, in these individuals, obviously genetic and somewhat ethnic differences in OP 5-hydroxylation were observed between different CYP2C19 genotypes (wt/wt > wt/m1 > m1/m1) and between Han and Zhuang (Han > Zhuang), respectively. The results indicate that CYP2C19 is a high-affinity enzyme for OP 5-hydroxylation by liver microsomes from Chinese individuals and that its contribution is CYP2C19 gene dependent and ethnically related. Similar studies indicate that OP sulfoxidation is mediated mainly by CYP3A4 and independent of CYP2C19 genotype status.     

Effects of CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of omeprazole in Chinese people

BACKGROUND: To investigate whether the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of omeprazole (OPZ) are dependent of the CYP2C19 genotype status in Chinese people. METHODS: Eighteen healthy subjects were voluntary to participate in the study, whose CYP2C19 genotype status were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. There were six homozygous extensive metabolizers, six heterozygous extensive metabolizers and six poor metabolizers (PMs). All subjects were Helicobacter pylori-negative, determined by serology method and (13)C-urea breath test. After d1 and d8 orally received OPZ 20 mg once daily in the morning, intragastric pH values were monitored for 24 h by Digitrapper pH. Meanwhile, blood samples were collected at various time-points until 24 h after administration. The serum concentrations of OPZ were measured by liquid chromatography. RESULTS: After single or repeated doses, the PMs showed a significantly higher mean area under the serum concentration-time curves (AUC) values than that observed in the homozygous extensive metabolizers or the heterozygous extensive metabolizers, with a relative ratio of 1.0 : 1.1 : 4.2 and 1.0 : 1.3 : 3.3 (homozygous extensive metabolizers:heterozygous extensive metabolizers:poor metabolizers), respectively. After a single dose of OPZ, significant differences in intragastric pH median, pH > 3 holding time and pH > 4 holding time were observed among the three groups. After repeated doses, the PMs showed a significantly higher intragastric pH values than that observed in the homozygous extensive metabolizers or the heterozygous extensive metabolizers. CONCLUSION: The pharmacodynamic effects of OPZ and its pharmacokinetics depend on the CYP2C19 genotype status in Chinese people.     

Theophylline pharmacokinetics are not altered by lansoprazole in CYP2C19 poor metabolizers.

Lansoprazole is a potent gastric proton pump inhibitor that is metabolized by CYP2C19 but appears to induce the activity of hepatic microsomal CYP1A2 in a concentration-dependent manner. Because the inducing effect appears to be a dose-dependent phenomenon, it may be more important in poor metabolizers of CYP2C19 who have more than four times the area under the lansoprazole plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and constitute 12% to 23% of Asian populations. Theophylline owes a significant portion of its metabolism to CYP1A2 and can cause gastric acid reflux that calls for concurrent use of proton pump inhibitors. We conducted a prospective, randomized, subject-blind, multicenter crossover study of the effect of multiple high-dose oral lansoprazole (30 mg twice a day for 7 days) on the pharmacokinetics of a single intravenous dose of theophylline (4.73 mg/kg) in healthy volunteers characterized for CYP2C19 genotype. The study compared the pharmacokinetics of lansoprazole and theophylline in five white extensive metabolizers, six Korean extensive metabolizers, and seven poor metabolizers of CYP2C19. The pharmacokinetics of lansoprazole were significantly different among groups; AUC values were 1.55+/-0.20 microg x h/mL in white extensive metabolizers, 7.01+/-0.72 microg x hr/mL in Korean extensive metabolizers, and 14.34+/-2.60 microg x h/mL in poor metabolizers (P < .001). The administration of lansoprazole did not change intravenous theophylline clearance compared with placebo in any group, and theophylline clearance exhibited no correlation with AUC of lansoprazole (rs = 0.12; P > .1). These data suggest that usual therapeutic doses of lansoprazole have no clinically significant influence on the clearance of theophylline, even in poor metabolizers of CYP2C19.

CYP2C19 genotype-related efficacy of omeprazole for the treatment of infection caused by Helicobacter pylori

OBJECTIVES: Omeprazole is used for the treatment of infection caused by Helicobacter pylori, and it is metabolized by the polymorphic cytochrome P4502C19 (CYP2C19). We have found that the anti-H pylori efficacy by the combination of omeprazole and antibiotics is related to the CYP2C19 genotype. METHODS: One hundred eight patients with cultured H pylori-positive gastritis or peptic ulcer were treated with three regimens: quadruple treatment without proton pump inhibitors (n = 25), dual treatment with omeprazole and amoxicillin (INN, amoxicilline) (n = 26), and triple treatment with omeprazole, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin (n = 57). The CYP2C19 genotype was determined by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method and the assessment of the eradication of H pylori was based on all negative examinations, including culture, histology, and 13C-urea breath test. RESULTS: The eradication rates for the extensive metabolizers were 50% and 86% for the dual and triple treatments, respectively. In contrast, all of the poor metabolizers treated with omeprazole and antibiotics (n = 15) showed an eradication of H pylori. CONCLUSION: The anti-H pylori effect of dual treatment is highly efficient for CYP2C19 poor metabolizers, which suggests that clarithromycin is not necessary as a first line of therapy for this type of patients. Genotyping can provide a choice for the optimal regimen based on individual CYP2C19 genotype.     

Polymorphism of dextromethorphan metabolism: relationships between phenotype, genotype and response to the administration of encainide in humans.

The polymorphism of dextromethorphan and encainide metabolism is genetically determined and is related to the activity of hepatic CYP2D6. In order to examine the relations between CYP2D6 phenotype, genotype and the electrocardiographic response to the oral administration of encainide, 110 healthy subjects were studied. Metabolic ratios were calculated in urine after oral administration of 40 mg of dextromethorphan and in plasma obtained 2.5 h after oral administration of 50 mg of encainide. Encainide-induced electrocardiographic changes were measured 2.5 h after oral administration of the drug. Genotype was determined in 52 subjects. Results showed that phenotype, either extensive or poor metabolizer, for CYP2D6-dependent metabolism could be identified from the dextromethorphan metabolic ratio calculated in urine, from the encainide metabolic ratio calculated in plasma and from the genotype. However, despite the fact that the changes in atrioventricular (PR) and intraventricular (QRS) conduction times produced by encainide were different in extensive and poor metabolizer subjects and correlated with CYP2D6 activity, the electrocardiographic response was never 100% specific and sensitive for the identification of either phenotype. Moreover, genotypic identification of heterozygous and homozygous extensive metabolizer subjects did not predict CYP2D6 activity, as determined by dextromethorphan and encainide metabolic ratios, or encainide response, as determined by intraventricular and atrioventricular changes. Thus, CYP2D6 activity does not fully predict the electrocardiographic effects of encainide, and genotype, as determined in our study, cannot replace the determination of metabolic ratio in predicting CYP2D6 activity and encainide response in extensive metabolizer subjects.
