[PMID: 38884939 PMCID: PMC11388136 DOI: 10.1080/14622416.2024.2346072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Aim: We herein inferred the genetic diversity of CYP450 isoenzymes to predict the percentage of patients who need dose adjustment in drugs used in psychiatry.Materials & methods: Data of 784 Greek patients receiving psychiatric care who were genotyped for CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP1A2, CYP3A5 and CYP2C9 isoenzymes were inferred to gene-drug pairs according to the US FDA, Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium and Dutch Pharmacogenetics Working Group annotations and published literature.Results: Atypical metabolism was found for 36.8% of patients in CYP2D6, 49.2% in CYP2C19, 45% in CYP1A2, 16.7% in CYP3A5 and 41.8% in CYP2C9. Dosage adjustment need was estimated for 10.2% of venlafaxine, 10.0% of paroxetine, 6.4% of sertraline, 30.8% of citalopram, 52.1% of escitalopram, 18.2% of fluvoxamine, 54.1% of tricyclic antidepressants, 16.7% of zuclopenthixol, 10.6% of haloperidol and 13.3% of risperidone treated patients.Conclusion: Clinical psychiatric pharmacogenomic implementation holds promise to improve drug effectiveness and safety.

Psychopharmacology of smoking cessation medications: focus on patients with mental health disorders. Int Rev Psychiatry 2023; 35:397-417. [PMID: 38299651 DOI: 10.1080/09540261.2023.2249084] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/02/2024]
Abstract
The adverse effects of smoking cessation in individuals with mental health disorders have been a point of concern, and progress in the development of treatment has been slow. The primary first-line treatments for smoking cessation are Nicotine Replacement Therapy, Bupropion, Varenicline, and behavioural support. Nortriptyline and Clonidine are second-line treatments used when the first-line treatments are not effective or are contraindicated. Smoking cessation medications have been shown to be effective in reducing nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms and promoting smoking cessation among patients living with mental disorders. However, these medications may have implications for patients' mental health and need to be monitored closely. The efficacy and side effects of these medications may vary depending on the patient's psychiatric condition, medication regimen, substance use, or medical comorbidities. The purpose of this review is to synthesise the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, therapeutic effects, adverse effects, and pharmacological interactions of first- and second-line smoking cessation drugs, with an emphasis on patients suffering from mental illnesses. Careful consideration of the risks and benefits of using smoking cessation medications is necessary, and treatment plans must be tailored to individual patients' needs. Monitoring symptoms and medication regimens is essential to ensure optimal treatment outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Higher incidence of psychotic disorders and underuse of mental health services have been reported among many migrant populations. This study examines the initiation and continuity of antipsychotic treatment among migrants and non-migrants with a non-affective psychosis during a new treatment episode. METHODS This study is based on a nationwide sample of migrants and Finnish-born controls. Participants who were diagnosed with a psychotic disorder in 2011-2014 were identified from the Care Register for Health Care (n = 1693). Information on purchases of antipsychotic drugs in 2011-2015 was collected from the National Prescription Register. The duration of antipsychotic treatment since diagnosis was estimated using the PRE2DUP model. Cox regression analysis was used to study factors that are associated with discontinuing the use of medication. RESULTS There were fewer initiators of antipsychotic treatment after being diagnosed with psychosis among migrants (68.1%) than among Finnish-born patients (73.6%). After controlling for sociodemographic background and factors related to the type of disorder and treatment, migrants were more likely to discontinue medication (adjusted hazard ratio 1.28, 95% confidence interval 1.08-1.52). The risk of discontinuation was highest among migrants from North Africa and the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa and among recent migrants. Non-use of antipsychotic treatment before being diagnosed with psychosis, involuntary hospitalization and diagnosis other than schizophrenia were associated with earlier discontinuation both among migrants and non-migrants. CONCLUSIONS Migrants with a psychotic disorder are less likely to continue antipsychotic treatment than non-migrants. The needs of migrant patients have to be addressed to improve adherence.

Abstract
The detection of N-nitrosamines, derived from solvents and reagents and, on occasion, the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) at higher than acceptable levels in drug products, has led regulators to request a detailed review for their presence in all medicinal products. In the absence of rodent carcinogenicity data for novel N-nitrosamines derived from amine-containing APIs, a conservative class limit of 18 ng/day (based on the most carcinogenic N-nitrosamines) or the derivation of acceptable intakes (AIs) using structurally related surrogates with robust rodent carcinogenicity data is recommended. The guidance has implications for the pharmaceutical industry given the vast number of marketed amine-containing drugs. In this perspective, the rate-limiting step in N-nitrosamine carcinogenicity, involving cytochrome P450-mediated α-carbon hydroxylation to yield DNA-reactive diazonium or carbonium ion intermediates, is discussed with reference to the selection of read-across analogs to derive AIs. Risk-mitigation strategies for managing putative N-nitrosamines in the preclinical discovery setting are also presented.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tardive dyskinesia (TD) has a high prevalence and is one of the distressing side effects of antipsychotic medications. Few studies have explored the relationship between TD, clinical correlates, and cognition. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence, clinical correlates and cognitive impairment of co-occurring TD in Chinese patients with schizophrenia. METHODS We recruited 655 patients with chronic schizophrenia who met the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia and collected clinical and demographic data. All patients were assessed using the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) for the severity of TD, Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) for psychopathological symptoms, and Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) for cognition. RESULTS The overall TD prevalence was 41.1%, 42.9% (246/574) in men and 28.4% (23/81) in women (χ2 = 6.1 df = 1, p < 0.05). There were significant differences in age, sex, duration of illness, number of hospitalizations, drug type, smoking and PANSS negative symptom subscore between TD and non-TD groups (all p < 0.05). Moreover, patients with TD scored lower for immediate memory, attention, delayed memory, and RBANS total scores (all p < 0.05). Logistic regression showed a significant correlation between TD and age, sex, drug type and attention subscore. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that multiple demographic and clinical variables may be associated with the development of TD. Moreover, TD patients may exhibit more cognitive impairment than non-TD patients.

Candidate genetic variants and antidepressant-related fall risk in middle-aged and older adults. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0266590. [PMID: 35421149 PMCID: PMC9009709 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0266590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2021] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Antidepressant use has been associated with increased fall risk. Antidepressant-related adverse drug reactions (e.g. orthostatic hypotension) depend partly on genetic variation. We hypothesized that candidate genetic polymorphisms are associated with fall risk in older antidepressant users. METHODS The association between antidepressant use and falls was cross-sectionally investigated in a cohort of Dutch older adults by logistic regression analyses. In case of significant interaction product term of antidepressant use and candidate polymorphism, the association between the variant genotype and fall risk was assessed within antidepressant users and the association between antidepressant use and fall risk was investigated stratified per genotype. Secondly, a look-up of the candidate genes was performed in an existing genome-wide association study on drug-related falls in antidepressant users within the UK Biobank. In antidepressant users, genetic associations for our candidate polymorphisms for fall history were investigated. RESULTS In antidepressant users(n = 566), for rs28371725 (CYP2D6*41) fall risk was decreased in TC/variant allele carriers compared to CC/non-variant allele carriers (OR = 0.45, 95% CI 0.26-0.80). Concerning rs1057910 (CYP2C9*3), fall risk was increased in CA/variant allele carriers compared to AA/non-variant allele carriers (OR = 1.95, 95% CI 1.17-3.27). Regarding, rs1045642 (ABCB1), fall risk was increased in AG/variant allele carriers compared to GG/non-variant allele carriers (OR = 1.69, 95% CI 1.07-2.69). Concerning the ABCB1-haplotype (rs1045642/rs1128503), fall risk was increased in AA-AA/variant allele carriers compared to GG-GG/non-variant allele carriers (OR = 1.86, 95% CI 1.05-3.29). In the UK Biobank, in antidepressant users(n = 34,000) T/variant-allele of rs28371725 (CYP2D*41) was associated with increased fall risk (OR = 1.06, 95% CI 1.01-1.12). G/non-variant-allele of rs4244285 (CY2C19*2) was associated with decreased risk (OR = 0.96, 95% CI 0.92-1.00). CONCLUSION This is the first study showing that certain genetic variants modify antidepressant-related fall risk. The results were not always consistent across the studies and should be validated in a study with a prospective design. However, pharmacogenetics might have value in antidepressant (de)prescribing in falls prevention.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of intranasal esketamine in patients with treatment-resistant depression from the Asian subgroup of the SUSTAIN-2 study. Methods SUSTAIN-2 was a phase 3, open-label, single-arm, multicenter study comprising a 4-week screening, 4-week induction, 48-week optimization/maintenance, and 4-week follow-up (upon esketamine discontinuation) phase. Patients with treatment-resistant depression received esketamine plus an oral antidepressant during the treatment period. Results The incidence of ≥ 1 serious treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) among the 78 subjects from the Asian subgroup (Taiwan 33, Korea 26, Malaysia 19) was 11.5% (n = 9); with no fatal TEAE. 13 Asian patients (16.7%) discontinued esketamine due to TEAEs. The most common TEAEs were dizziness (37.2%), nausea (29.5%), dissociation (28.2%), and headache (21.8%). Most TEAEs were mild to moderate in severity, transient and resolved on the same day. Upon discontinuation of esketamine, no trend in withdrawal symptoms was observed to associate long-term use of esketamine with withdrawal syndrome. There were no reports of drug seeking, abuse, or overdose. Improvements in symptoms, functioning and quality of life, occurred during in the induction phase and were generally maintained through the optimization/maintenance phases of the study. Conclusion The safety and efficacy of esketamine in the Asian subgroup was generally consistent with the total SUSTAIN-2 population. There was no new safety signal and no indication of a high potential for abuse with the long-term (up to one year) use of esketamine in the Asian subgroup. Most of the benefits of esketamine occurred early during the induction phase.

Abstract
Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) reduces affected patients’ quality of life and leads to important social health care costs. Pharmacogenomics-guided treatment (PGT) may be effective in the cure of TRD. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical changes after PGT in patients with TRD (two or more recent failed psychopharmacological trials) affected by bipolar disorder (BD) or major depressive disorder (MDD) compared to a control group with treatment as usual (TAU). We based the PGT on assessing different gene polymorphisms involved in the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of drugs. We analyzed, with a repeated-measure ANOVA, the changes between the baseline and a 6 month follow-up of the efficacy index assessed through the Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale, and depressive symptoms through the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS). The PGT sample included 53 patients (26 BD and 27 MDD), and the TAU group included 52 patients (31 BD and 21 MDD). We found a significant within-subject effect of treatment time on symptoms and efficacy index for the whole sample, with significant improvements in the efficacy index (F = 8.544; partial η² = 0.077, p < 0.004) and clinical global impression of severity of illness (F = 6.818; partial η² = 0.062, p < 0.01) in the PGT vs. the TAU group. We also found a significantly better follow-up response (χ² = 5.479; p = 0.019) and remission (χ² = 10.351; p = 0.001) rates in the PGT vs. the TAU group. PGT may be an important option for the long-term treatment of patients with TRD affected by mood disorders, providing information that can better define drug treatment strategies and increase therapeutic improvement.

Abstract
Apremilast is an orally available phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor used for the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis. The aims of this analysis were to develop a population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model of apremilast based on observed data from phase 1 studies combined with clinical trial data from subjects with moderate to severe psoriasis, and to develop exposure–response (E‐R) models to determine whether Japanese subjects with moderate to severe psoriasis achieve response to apremilast treatment similar to that observed in non‐Japanese, predominantly Caucasian subjects with moderate to severe psoriasis. The PPK model demonstrated that apremilast plasma concentrations and overall apparent clearance rate were comparable between the Japanese and Caucasian subgroups. The E‐R analyses of ≥75% or ≥50% improvement from baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score and achievement of static Physician Global Assessment score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) at week 16 indicated that apremilast treatment in Japanese subjects approached the maximal effect with response rates comparable to those in predominantly Caucasian subjects. Overall, the analyses confirm that the approved apremilast 30 mg b.i.d. dose is appropriate for Japanese subjects with moderate to severe psoriasis, with an efficacy profile similar to that previously observed in Caucasian subjects.

Abstract
It is essential that safe and effective treatment options be available to patients suffering from chronic pain. The emergence of an opioid epidemic has shaped public opinions and created stigmas surrounding the use of opioids for the management of pain. This reality, coupled with high risk of adverse effects from chronic opioid use, has led chronic pain patients and their healthcare providers to utilize nonopioid treatment approaches. In this review, we will explore a number of cellular reorganizations that are associated with the development and progression of chronic pain. We will also discuss the safety and efficacy of opioid and nonopioid treatment options for chronic pain. Finally, we will review the evidence for adenylyl cyclase type 1 (AC1) as a novel target for the treatment of chronic pain.

Abstract
Many genetic variants in drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters have been shown to be relevant for treating psychiatric disorders. Associations are strong enough to feature on drug labels and for prescribing guidelines based on such data. A range of commercial tests are available; however, there is variability in included genetic variants, methodology, and interpretation. We herein provide relevant background for understanding clinical associations with specific variants, other factors that are relevant to consider when interpreting such data (such as age, gender, drug-drug interactions), and summarize the data relevant to clinical utility of pharmacogenetic testing in psychiatry and the available prescribing guidelines. We also highlight areas for future research focus in this field.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are the most commonly used medications for mood and anxiety disorders in women. Many women need to continue or initiate these medications during pregnancy, but there is concern about potential withdrawal effects in the newborn, referred to as neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). The reason why some infants remain asymptomatic while others are affected has not been elucidated. The objective of this study was to examine whether genetic differences in maternal drug metabolism influence the incidence of NAS. METHODS Women who took Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors s/SNRIs during pregnancy were recruited from obstetrical clinics. DNA was extracted from saliva samples for genetic analyses of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme polymorphisms. Delivery and NAS data were collected from electronic medical records. RESULTS Ninety-five women participated. The overall NAS rate was 16.2%. Mild NAS was seen in 13.8% of neonates and severe NAS, in 2%. One-quarter (25%) of the neonates with mild withdrawal symptoms were born to mothers with polymorphisms associated with slower metabolism of their particular antidepressant, but this association was not statistically significant. CONCLUSION Importantly, the overall rate of NAS in our study was lower than previously reported. Maternal CYP polymorphisms did not affect the rate of NAS in neonates exposed to SSRIs/SNRIs in utero. This study lends added assurance to patients requiring SSRIs or SNRIs during pregnancy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study was designed to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of lurasidone in the treatment of schizophrenia among Asian patients. METHODS Patients (N = 281) with schizophrenia who had completed a randomized, double-blind (DB), 6-week comparison of lurasidone (40 and 80 mg/day) and placebo were enrolled in a 26-week extension study in which all patients received open-label (OL), flexible doses of lurasidone (40 or 80 mg/day). Effectiveness was measured using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) scale. RESULTS Fifty-seven percent of patients completed the OL extension study; 16.7% discontinued early due to lack of effectiveness; and 10.3% due to adverse events. The most common adverse events were insomnia (11.3%), akathisia (11.0%), and nasopharyngitis (10.6%). Adverse events related to weight gain, metabolic parameters, prolactin, and ECG measures were uncommon. Mean change in the PANSS total score from the DB baseline to OL endpoint was -28.4, with mean improvement of -7.5 observed from baseline to OL endpoint, and with a PANSS responder rate of 73.7%. DISCUSSION The results of the current 26-week extension study found lurasidone to be a generally safe, well-tolerated, and effective long-term treatment for schizophrenia in Asian patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the quantification of voriconazole in human plasma, and to evaluate its application in clinical therapeutic drug monitoring. METHOD Plasma samples were obtained from Chinese patients receiving voriconazole, precipitated with methanol (using fluconazole as an internal standard), and then subjected to LC-MS/MS using an SB C18 column with a methanol and water mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/minute. Quantification was performed by multiple-reaction monitoring using the precursor and product ion pair m/z 350-280.9 for voriconazole and m/z 307-219.9 for fluconazole. RESULTS The calibration curve was linear over a range of 0.1-10.0 µg/mL (R2 = 0.9995). The inter-day and intra-day relative standard deviations were <7.68% and <8.97%, respectively. Extraction recovery, matrix effect, and stability were also validated. Sixty-eight plasma samples from 42 patients were analyzed, and the voriconazole concentrations in 25 samples (36.8%) were outside the optimal range of 1.5-4.5 µg/mL. CONCLUSIONS We developed a simple and accurate method of drug monitoring, which could improve the efficacy and prevent adverse reactions of voriconazole.

A pharmacogenetic intervention for the improvement of the safety profile of antipsychotic treatments. Transl Psychiatry 2019; 9:177. [PMID: 31346157 PMCID: PMC6658489 DOI: 10.1038/s41398-019-0511-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2019] [Revised: 05/09/2019] [Accepted: 05/31/2019] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Antipsychotic drugs fail to achieve adequate response in 30-50% of treated patients and about 50% of them develop severe and lasting side effects. Treatment failure results in poorer prognosis with devastating repercussions for the patients, carers and broader society. Our study evaluated the clinical benefits of a pharmacogenetic intervention for the personalisation of antipsychotic treatment. Pharmacogenetic information in key CYP polymorphisms was used to adjust clinical doses in a group of patients who started or switched treatment with antipsychotic drugs (PharmG+, N = 123), and their results were compared with those of a group of patients treated following existing clinical guides (PharmG-, N = 167). There was no evidence of significant differences in side effects between the two arms. Although patients who had their antipsychotic dose adjusted according to CYPs polymorphisms (PharmG+) had a bigger reduction in side effects than those treated as usual (PharmG-), the difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05 for all comparisons). However, PharmG+ patients treated with CYP2D6 substrates that were carriers of CYP2D6 UMs or PMs variants showed a significantly higher improvement in global, psychic and other UKU side effects than PharmG- patients (p = 0.02, p = 0.05 and p = 0.01, respectively). PharmG+ clozapine treated patients with CYP1A2 or CYP2C19 UM and PMs variants also showed higher reductions in UKU scores than PharmG- clozapine patients in general. However, those differences were not statistically significant. Pharmacogenetic interventions may improve the safety of antipsychotic treatments by reducing associated side effects. This intervention may be particularly useful when considering treatment with antipsychotics with one major metabolic pathway, and therefore more susceptible to be affected by functional variants of CYP enzymes.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) isozymes vary their expression depending on the brain area, the cell type, and the presence of drugs. Some isoforms are involved in detoxification and/or toxic activation of xenobiotics in central nervous system. However, their role in brain metabolism and neurodegeneration is still a subject of debate. We have studied the inducibility of CYP isozymes in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, treated with β-naphtoflavone (β-NF) or ethanol (EtOH) as inducers, by qRT-PCR, Western blot (WB), and metabolic activity assays. Immunohistochemistry was used to localize the isoforms in mitochondria and/or endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Tetrazolium (MTT) assay was performed to study the role of CYPs during methylphenyl pyridine (MPP+) exposure. EtOH increased mRNA and protein levels of CYP2D6 by 73% and 60% respectively. Both β-NF and EtOH increased CYP2E1 mRNA (4- and 1.4-fold, respectively) and protein levels (64% both). The 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylation and dextromethorphan O-demethylation was greater in treatment samples than in controls. Furthermore, both treatments increased by 22% and 18%, respectively, the cell viability in MPP+-treated cells. Finally, CYP2D6 localized at mitochondria and ER. These data indicate that CYP is inducible in SH-SY5Y cells and underline this in vitro system for studying the role of CYPs in neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Over the past 2 decades, knowledge of the role and clinical value of pharmacogenetic markers has expanded so that individualized pre-emptive therapy based on genetic background of patients could be within reach for clinical implementation. This is evidenced from the frequent updating of drug labels that incorporates pharmacogenetic information (where compelling data become available) by the regulatory agencies (such as the US FDA), and the periodical publication of guidelines of specific therapeutic recommendations based on the results of pharmacogenetic tests by the pharmacogenetics working groups or consortiums of professional bodies. Clinical relevance of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) polymorphism related to dose, effectiveness and/or toxicity of key drugs are presented in this review, including that of warfarin, clopidogrel, tricyclic antidepressants, and proton pump inhibitors. Prospect for routine clinical application of CYP genotyping before prescribing drugs is still currently unclear due to challenges and barriers associated with availability of well-defined and validated pharmacogenetic studies, the interpretation, result reporting and potential error of genotype testing, involvement of non-genetic factors, and other patient's demographic and disease conditions. Further studies to provide additional supporting clinical data and acceleration of pharmacogenetic testing standards and techniques should help improve the evidence base needed for clinical utility and hence move the implementation of genotype-guided therapy in clinical practice a step closer to reality.

Abstract
The purpose of this nationwide population-based study is to compare the long-term effectiveness of brand-name antipsychotics with generic antipsychotics for treating schizophrenia. We identified patients with schizophrenia who were prescribed antipsychotics from a random sample of one million records from Taiwan's National Health Insurance database, observed between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2012. Only those with no prior use of antipsychotics for at least 180days were included. We selected patients who were prescribed brand-name risperidone (N=404), generic risperidone (N=145), brand-name sulpiride (N=334), or generic sulpiride (N=991). The effectiveness of the treatments researched in this study consisted of average daily doses, rates of treatment discontinuation, augmentation therapy, and psychiatric hospitalization. We found that compared to patients treated with generic risperidone, those treated with brand-name risperidone required lower daily doses (2.14mg vs. 2.61mg). However, the two groups demonstrated similar rates of treatment discontinuation, augmentation, and psychiatric hospitalization. On the other hand, in comparison with patients prescribed generic sulpiride, those treated with brand-name sulpiride not only required lower daily doses (302.72mg vs. 340.71mg) but also had lower psychiatric admission rates (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.24, 95% confidence interval: 0.10-0.56). In conclusion, for both risperidone and sulpiride, higher daily doses of the respective generic drugs were prescribed than with brand-name drugs in clinical settings. Furthermore, the brand-name sulpiride is more effective at preventing patients from hospitalization than generic sulpiride. These findings can serve as an important reference for clinical practices and healthcare economics for treating schizophrenic patients.

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
AIM Suicide accounts for over 800,000 deaths per year worldwide and is the tenth-leading cause of mortality in USA. Several studies have investigated cytochrome P450 CYP2D6 ultra-rapid metabolizer (UM) phenotype in relation to suicidality, with mixed results. This study tested the hypothesis of increased suicide risk among CYP2D6 UMs. PATIENTS & METHODS Among the 4264 state psychiatric hospital inpatients included, 2435 (57%) reported a prior suicide attempt. RESULTS No association between UM status and attempted suicide was observed in bivariate (odds ratio: 0.87; 95% CI: 0.53-1.25), multivariate (adjusted odds ratio: 0.89; 95% CI: 0.55-1.46), or risk-stratified analyses. CONCLUSION These results contrast with prior reports of increased suicidality among CYP2D6 UMs and highlight the pressing need to identify reliable screening methods to better address this persistent public health problem.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genetic polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 enzymes, especially CYP2C19, could influence voriconazole pharmacokinetics. The association between CYP2C19 polymorphisms and voriconazole clinical outcomes is not well established. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the effect of CYP2C19 polymorphisms on clinical outcomes in patients treated with voriconazole. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, CENTRAL, ClinicalTrials.gov, and three Chinese databases were searched from their inception to January 2016 to identify eligible trials that reported voriconazole exposure and clinical outcomes of voriconazole according to CYP2C19 polymorphisms. Two reviewers independently reviewed the citations, extracted the data, and assessed the quality of the trials. The meta-analysis was performed using RevMan5.3. RESULTS A total of ten studies involving 598 patients were included. Compared with patients with extensive metabolizer (EM) phenotype, patients with poor metabolizer (PM) phenotype had significantly higher trough concentrations (MD, 1.22 mg/L; 95 % confidence interval (CI), 0.72-1.71; P < 0.0001). PM phenotype was also associated with a higher treatment success rate compared with EM phenotype (risk ratio (RR), 1.31; 95 % CI, 1.04-1.67; P = 0.02). However, there was no significant association between CYP2C19 polymorphisms and daily maintenance dose, overall adverse events, hepatotoxicity, and neurotoxicity. CONCLUSIONS Patients with CYP2C19 PM phenotype were associated with increased treatment success rate and trough concentrations as compared with those with EM phenotype. There was no significant association between CYP2C19 polymorphisms and either daily maintenance dose or adverse outcomes of voriconazole. However, large-scale, high-quality trials are still needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Clozapine (CLZ) is the most effective treatment for treatment-resistant schizophrenia (SCZ) patients, with potential added benefits of reduction in suicide risk and aggression. However, CLZ is also mainly underused due to its high risk for the potentially lethal side-effect of agranulocytosis as well as weight gain and related metabolic dysregulation. Pharmacogenetics promises to enable the prediction of patient treatment response and risk of adverse effects based on patients' genetics, paving the way toward individualized treatment. AREA COVERED This article reviews pharmacogenetics studies of CLZ response and side-effects with a focus on articles from January 2012 to February 2015, as an update to the previous reviews. Pharmacokinetic genes explored primarily include CYP1A2, while pharmacodynamic genes consisted of traditional pharmacogenetic targets such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor as well novel mitochondrial genes, NDUFS-1 and translocator protein. EXPERT OPINION Pharmacogenetics is a promising avenue for individualized medication of CLZ in SCZ, with several consistently replicated gene variants predicting CLZ response and side-effects. However, a large proportion of studies have yielded mixed results. Large-scale Genome-wide association studies (e.g., CRESTAR) and targeted gene studies with standardized designs (response measurements, treatment durations, plasma level monitoring) are required for further progress toward clinical translation. Additionally, in order to improve study quality, we recommend accounting for important confounders, including polypharmacy, baseline measurements, treatment duration, gender, and age at onset.

Abstract
We focused on the application of antidepressants in schizophrenia treatment in this review. Augmentation of antidepressants with antipsychotics is a common clinical practice to treat resistant symptoms in schizophrenia, including depressive symptoms, negative symptoms, comorbid obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and other psychotic manifestations. However, recent systematic review of the clinical effects of antidepressants is lacking. In this review, we have selected and summarized current literature on the use of antidepressants in patients with schizophrenia; the patterns of use and effectiveness, as well as risks and drug-drug interactions of this clinical practice are discussed in detail, with particular emphasis on the treatment of depressive symptoms in schizophrenia.

Abstract
Epilepsy is a common neurologic disorder seen throughout the world. Advances in therapy have made it possible for persons with epilepsy (PWEs) to have improved seizure control and a better quality of life. However, it is not entirely clear whether this has resulted in their successful integration into society. This review examines the societal integration of PWEs, identifying both the progress made and the challenges that continue to hamper further advances. In general, PWEs are more integrated in western-oriented cultures. However, there continue to be ongoing difficulties due to poor education and intellectual functioning, poor social and family support, the undertreatment of coexisting psychiatric conditions, transportation and mobility limitations, and problems obtaining employment. This review also discusses the effects of low socioeconomic status on integration and the persisting prejudices that affect certain racial groups. Most importantly, this review underscores the fact that societal stigma towards PWEs is still very much alive. At the beginning of the 21st century, PWEs still encounter difficulties in their quest for full societal integration. Along with medical advances being made to improve seizure control, much still has to be done to bring about the reforms necessary to help PWEs live more meaningful and productive lives.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymatic activity, which is influenced by CYP genetic polymorphism, is known to affect the inter-individual variation in the efficacy and tolerability of antidepressants in major depressive disorder (MDD). Escitalopram is metabolized by CYP2D6, and recent studies have reported a correlation between clinical outcomes and CYP2D6 genetic polymorphism. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the CYP2D6 P34S polymorphism (C188T, rs1065852) and the efficacy of escitalopram treatment in Korean patients with MDD. METHODS A total of 94 patients diagnosed with MDD were recruited for the study and their symptoms were evaluated using the 21-item Hamilton Depression Rating scale (HAMD-21). The association between the CYP2D6 P34S polymorphism and the clinical outcomes (remission and response) was investigated after 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks of escitalopram treatment using multiple logistic regression analysis and χ(2) test. RESULTS The proportion of P allele carriers (PP, PS) in remission status was greater than that of S allele homozygotes (SS) after 8 and 12 weeks of escitalopram treatment. Similarly, P allele carriers exhibited a greater treatment response after 8 and 12 weeks of escitalopram treatment than S allele homozygotes. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that the P allele of the CYP2D6 P34S polymorphism is a favorable factor in escitalopram treatment for MDD, and that the CYP2D6 P34S polymorphism may be a good genetic marker for predicting escitalopram treatment outcomes.

Abstract
We evaluated whether treatment-resistant depression (TRD) as measured by the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) staging method was associated with suicide in a large U.S. health system. Data from the Veterans Health Administration and the National Death Index were used to conduct a case-control study of patients newly diagnosed with depression who received antidepressant treatment between 2003 and 2006. Suicide cases (N = 499) were matched with nonsuicide controls (N = 1994). Conditional logistic regression was used to assess whether MGH stage at time of suicide (or matched date) was associated with case status, adjusting for patient demographic characteristics, comorbidity, and service use. Results indicated 11.6% of suicide cases had MGH stage 3 or greater (indicating at least two antidepressant trials) compared to 6.4% of controls (p < .001). In adjusted analyses, suicide was not significantly more likely among patients with stage 3 or greater (OR 1.52; 95% CI: 0.98, 2.37) or stages 1.5-2.5 (OR 1.19; 95% CI: 0.91, 1.55) compared to patients with stage 1 or less (<10 weeks of antidepressant medication). Staging TRD using MGH criteria is unlikely to substantially improve suicide risk assessment of depressed patients beyond existing measures contained in health system records.

Abstract
Asian and western countries differ in the prevalence, symptom manifestation, diagnostic procedures, patient recognition and treatments of major depressive disorder (MDD), according to a number of studies. Ethnic differences in pharmacological profiles are also important in the prescription of certain antipsychotic medications because they may impact treatment outcomes and adverse events. Differential pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of antipsychotics may be practically useful in the control of specific depressive symptoms. Furthermore, patient compliance with prescribed medications has been found to be different across races and ethnicities. Therefore, this article explores practical clinical issues for the use of atypical antipsychotics in patients with MDD, focusing on ethno-cultural differences.

Influence of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 gene variants on antidepressant response in obsessive-compulsive disorder. THE PHARMACOGENOMICS JOURNAL 2013; 14:176-81.

Abstract
Numerous studies have reported on pharmacogenetics of antidepressant response in depression. In contrast, little is known of response predictors in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a disorder with among the lowest proportion of responders to medication (40-60%). Our study is the largest investigation to date (N=184) of treatment response and side effects to antidepressants in OCD based on metabolizer status for CYP2D6 and CYP2C19. We observed significantly more failed medication trials in CYP2D6 non-extensive compared with extensive metabolizers (P=0.007). CYP2D6 metabolizer status was associated with side effects to venlafaxine (P=0.022). There were nonsignificant trends for association of CYP2D6 metabolizer status with response to fluoxetine (P=0.056) and of CYP2C19 metabolizer status with response to sertraline (P=0.064). Our study is the first to indicate that CYP genes may have a role in antidepressant response in OCD. More research is required for a future clinical application of genetic testing, which could lead to improved treatment outcomes.

Abstract
In the United States, the prevalence and burden of chronic pain is large and still growing. Older adults (aged ≥65 years) make up a large portion of the population with chronic pain, and their presentation, diagnosis, and treatment tends to be more complicated because of age-related physiological changes and comorbidities. Guidelines on treating patients with severe back pain recommend opioids as an option for those who do not find adequate pain relief from acetaminophen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). For older adult patients at higher risk for NSAID-related adverse effects, such as those who have gastrointestinal or cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, or who are taking low-dose aspirin, opioids are recommended instead. Opioids may also be an appropriate option for patients with neuropathic pain who have not achieved adequate analgesia from maximum doses of first- and second-line antineuropathic agents. Still, opioids are not appropriate for all patients; rather, a differential diagnosis, consideration of other comorbidities, and the potential for opioid-related adverse effects and substance abuse are required to confirm the value of opioid treatment for each individual. For nonresponders to opioid therapy, opioid rotation should be considered before discontinuation is pursued.

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

Abstract
Pharmacokinetic differences among opioids influence a patient's response to opioid treatment. An important element affecting a drug's pharmacokinetics, its metabolism, may be altered under various circumstances, thereby enhancing or mitigating a patient's response to opioids. The genetic background of the metabolic enzymes involved in opioid metabolism, comorbid medical conditions, older age, and the presence of other drugs that influence metabolism are such factors that can cause the response to opioid therapy to vary greatly from the expected response to a standard dose. As a result of the variability in individual responses to opioids, clinical management of pain with opioids must be empirical.

Abstract
Drugs without a strong evidence base and outside of recommendations are too often prescribed for older adults. Established guidelines such as Beers criteria have identified both specific medications and certain drug classes as inappropriate for older adults, primarily due to adverse effects. Age-related physiological changes in distribution, metabolism, and elimination often alter the effects of pharmacotherapies in older adults. When designing a therapeutic program, all elements contributing to the pathophysiology of painful conditions should be considered, as well as the mechanisms of action of analgesic drug classes. Both appropriate and inappropriate medications for older adults are detailed herein, as well as their contraindications and potential drug-drug or drug-disease interactions. The number needed to treat (NNT) can be useful in considering efficacy, while the safety of a pharmacotherapy is indicated by the calculated number needed to harm (NNH). The NNT is a measure describing the number of patients who require treatment for every 1 who reaches the therapeutic goal, and the NNH describes the number of participants who manifest side effects; these can further be segregated into numbers who withdraw from studies due to intolerable side effects. These parameters, along with a patient's comorbidities and concomitant medications, should be considered when selecting an analgesic and dose regimen. In addition, practitioners should avoid prescribing multiple-drug therapies that have overlapping pharmacodynamics or that may have an adverse pharmacokinetic interaction.

Abstract
Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder affecting 1% of the world's population. Nicotine addiction is one of the most important health concerns for patients with schizophrenia. An extensive body of evidence points to a high prevalence rate of comorbid nicotine addiction in people with schizophrenia (70-90%), which contributes to significant cardiovascular and cancer risks in this vulnerable population. Therefore, effective smoking cessation strategies could play a major role in preventing significant morbidity and mortality in this population. Two of the most common pharmacological approaches to smoking cessation, bupropion and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), have been used in psychiatric patients to reduce their smoking. In 2006, varenicline, a partial agonist of α4β2 acetylcholine receptor, was approved for smoking cessation by the FDA. This drug not only has the beneficial effects on withdrawal symptoms, but also reduces craving and rewarding effects of smoking. While varenicline has been shown to be an effective, safe medication for the general population, its efficacy and safety for subjects with schizophrenia is less well characterized. A number of case studies have prompted FDA warnings about the potential exacerbation of psychiatric symptoms. However, other case studies and pilot studies have shown varenicline to be a safe and effective treatment for smoking cessation in subjects with schizophrenia. Varenicline has the potential to reduce smoking in subjects with schizophrenia, however, clinicians should carefully monitor patients receiving varenicline for potential exacerbation of psychiatric symptoms.

Abstract
There has been considerable promise and hope that pharmacogenomics will optimize existing treatments for major depression, as well as identify novel targets for drug discovery. Immediately after the sequencing of the human genome, there was much hope that tremendous progress in pharmacogenomics would rapidly be achieved. In the past 10 years this initial enthusiasm has been replaced by a more sober optimism, as we have gone a long way towards the goal of guiding therapeutics based on genomics. While the effort to translate discovery to clinical applications is ongoing, we now have a vast body of knowledge as well as a clear direction forward. This article will provide a critical appraisal of the state of the art in the pharmacogenomics of depression, both in terms of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1, ABCC1) transports antidepressive agents in the endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier. Therefore, polymorphisms in the MRP1 gene may affect the treatment response of antidepressants. This study was aimed to identify the association between genetic variations in MRP1/ABCC1 and the therapeutic response to the antidepressant citalopram. One hundred and twenty-three patients who had been treated with citalopram monotherapy to control their major depressive disorder were recruited, and genotype data from 64 patients who had completed their 8-week follow-up were evaluated together with those from 100 controls. Nine MRP1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) showing more than 5% allele frequency in the Korean population were analyzed. The c.4002G>A, a synonymous SNP in exon 28, showed a strong association with the remission state at 8 weeks (P = 0.005, odds ratio [OR], 4.7, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.5 approximately 14.7). The c.4002G>A forms a linkage disequilibrium block with 3 other SNPs including c.5462T>A in the 3' untranslated region. Accordingly, the haplotype showed a significant association with the remission state (P = 0.014). Subsequent molecular studies also supported the association between these MRP1 polymorphisms and the citalopram response. Thus, kinetic studies using MRP1-enriched membrane vesicles revealed that citalopram is a substrate of MRP1 (Km = 1.99 microM, Vmax = 137 pmol/min per milligram protein). In addition, individuals with c.4002G>A or c.5462T>A polymorphisms showed higher MRP1 mRNA levels in peripheral blood cells. These results suggest that MRP1 polymorphisms may be a predictive marker of citalopram treatment in major depression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We studied the influence of three factors on drug disposition: genetic polymorphism, impaired renal excretion of drug metabolites, and the possible elimination by hemodialysis (HD), using codeine as a model drug. METHODS Based on the genotyping of three CYP2D6 polymorphisms in 228 HD patients, nine extensive metabolizers (EMs) and two poor metabolizers (PMs) were given a single oral dose of 50 mg codeine phosphate. Plasma concentrations of its metabolites codeine-6-glucuronide (C6G), morphine-3-glucuronide (M3G), and morphine-6-glucuronide (M6G) were determined after 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 h (beginning of the HD session) and again after 4 h of HD (28 h). Codeine metabolites in plasma were quantitated by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). RESULTS The concentrations of C6G in plasma were high and similar in EMs and PMs. Two hours after the codeine intake, the mean concentration of M3G was 210 nM in EMs vs. 3.5 nM in PMs. The M6G metabolite concentrations could be quantitated in EMs but were below the limit of quantification in PMs (<1 nM). All three codeine metabolites/glucuronides remained unchanged or even increased until the start of HD, and thereafter, the concentrations decreased dramatically during the HD procedure. CONCLUSIONS Formation of the codeine metabolites M3G and M6G was dependent on the CYP2D6 genotype, as previously shown in healthy individuals. Elimination of glucuronides in these patients was absent until HD was performed. These factors need to be taken into consideration when drugs metabolized by CYPs are prescribed in HD patients.
