| Abstract: | Background 13CO2 is produced on metabolism of 13C-labelled-pantoprazole (13C]-pantoprazole) by CYP2C19.
Aim To investigate whether the 13C]-pantoprazole breath test can predict CYP2C19 status and efficacy of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in Japanese.
Methods We classified 110 healthy volunteers as rapid metabolizers (RM), intermediate metabolizers (IM) or poor metabolizers (PM) of CYP2C19 by genotyping. Breath samples were collected at 10-min intervals for 60 min after dosing with 100 mg 13C]-pantoprazole. Changes in the carbon isotope ratios (13CO2/12CO2) in carbon dioxide in breath samples were measured and expressed as a delta-over-baseline (DOB) ratio (‰). Of the 110 subjects, twenty-two randomly selected subjects underwent intragastric pH monitoring on day 7 of dosing with 30 mg of lansoprazole.
Results The DOB values of RMs were the highest and those of PMs the lowest of the three groups. Statistically significant differences were observed in the area-under-the-curve ( AUC )20–60 min of DOB among the three groups. The mean 24-h intragastric pHs attained by lansoprazole 30 mg for 7 days were inversely correlated with the AUC 20–60 min of DOB.
Conclusions 13C]-pantoprazole breath test can easily estimate the individual activity of CYP2C19 and predict the efficacy of a PPI (i.e. lansoprazole). This test would be useful for individualized medicine with a PPI. |
