Abstract
PURPOSE Tamsulosin is one of the most potent drugs currently available to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 and CYP3A are the two major enzymes responsible for tamsulosin metabolism. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of CYP2D6 and CYP3A5 genetic polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetics and hemodynamic effects of tamsulosin in humans. METHODS Twenty-nine male subjects were enrolled and their CYP2D6 (*2,*4,*5,*10,*14,*21,*41, and *xN) and CYP3A5 (*5) genotypes were screened. Tamsulosin was administered daily for 6 days to assess its steady-state pharmacokinetics and hemodynamic effects according to CYP2D6 and CYP3A5 genotypes. RESULTS CYP2D6 group 3 (with genotype *10/*10 or *5/*10) exhibited higher plasma levels than CYP2D6 group 1 (with genotype *1/*1,*1/*2,*1/*2xN, or *2/*10xN) or CYP2D6 group 2 (with genotype *1/*10,*1/*41, or *2/*5) (trough concentrations for groups 1, 2, and 3: 1.3, 1.8, and 3.8 ng/mL, respectively [P < 0.001]; peak concentrations for groups 1, 2, 3: 8.3, 10.0, and 13.8 ng/mL, respectively [P < 0.005]). Similarly, CYP2D6 genotypes influenced the hemodynamic effects of tamsulosin based on systolic and diastolic blood pressures. However, the CYP3A5*3 polymorphism did not affect tamsulosin plasma levels and its hemodynamic effects. CONCLUSION The CYP2D6 but not the CYP3A5 genetic polymorphisms affected the pharmacokinetics and the hemodynamic effects of tamsulosin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize the pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenetics of nifedipine in pregnancy. STUDY DESIGN Pregnant women receiving oral nifedipine underwent steady-state pharmacokinetic testing over one dosing interval. DNA was obtained and genotyped for cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A5 and CYP3A4*1B. Nifedipine and oxidized nifedipine concentrations were measured in plasma, and pharmacokinetic parameters were compared between those women who expressed a CYP3A5*1 allele and those who expressed only variant CYP3A5 alleles (*3,*6, or *7). RESULTS Fourteen women had complete data to analyze. Four women (29%) expressed variant CYP3A5; three of these women were also CYP3A4*1B allele carriers. The mean half-life of nifedipine was 1.68 ± 1.56 hours. The area under the curve from 0 to 6 hours for the women receiving nifedipine every 6 hours was 207 ± 138 µg·h /L. Oral clearance was different between high expressers and low expressers (232.0 ± 37.8 µg/mL versus 85.6 ± 45.0 µg/mL, respectively; p = 0.007). CONCLUSION CYP3A5 genotype influences the oral clearance of nifedipine in pregnant women.

Abstract
Based on current literature, greater clarity in defining the magnitude of polymorphism effects on pharmacokinetics can be achieved by addressing key components of study design, including adequate subject numbers per study group. Convincing evidence of functional relevance exists for polymorphisms in genes such as CYP2D6 and UGT1A1, whereas the published evidence for similar effects for CYP3A5, OATP1B1, and ABCB1 is still emerging or equivocal. Polymorphism-associated differences in pharmacokinetic parameters were simulated to incorporate (1) the ratio of group mean parameter values for homozygous wild-type subjects versus homozygous variants, (2) pharmacokinetic variability, and (3) sample size needed to achieve 80% power, assuming 69% coefficient of variation. Subject selection by genotype and choice of probe substrate are also considered. Simulation results and literature examples are incorporated to define key recommendations for future investigations. This will allow for more definitive statements in publications regarding genotype influence on pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Imatinib has so far been the first-choice treatment in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) with excellent results. However, only a proportion of patients achieve major molecular response. Hence, the need to find whether there are some factors that affect the response to treatment is essential. This study aimed to investigate the allele and genotype frequencies of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of SLCO1B3 (T334G) and CYP3A5*3 in CML patients undergoing imatinib treatment and to determine whether SNPs of these two genes could predict the response of imatinib therapy in CML patients. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We investigated SLCO1B3 (T334G) and CYP3A5*3 polymorphisms by Polymerase Chain Reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in 86 Philadelphia positive newly diagnosed Egyptian CML patients (78 patients in chronic phase and 8 patients in accelerated phase). All patients received imatinib therapy and were followed for at least one and half years. The response to imatinib therapy was evaluated by recording the hematological response, cytogenetic response, and molecular response according to the European Leukemia Net criteria. RESULTS This study included 86 Philadelphia positive newly diagnosed CML patients, 78 in the early chronic phase and 8 in the accelerated phase. In the chronic phase patients, no association between SLCO1B3 (T334G) exon 3 polymorphism and response to imatinib therapy was detected (P = 0.938) while CYP3A5*3 gene polymorphism was associated with inferior outcome (P < 0.001). In the group of accelerated phase patients, the SLCO1B3 polymorphic variants (TG) and (GG) were detected equally with none of the patients in this group having the homozygous wild form (TT). The homozygous state for the CYP3A5*3 allele was the most frequent (50%) and the homozygous state for the CYP3A5*1 allele was the least frequent (12.5%) in this group. CONCLUSION CYP3A5*3 polymorphism was associated with imatinib efficacy while the SNP SLCO1B3 (T334G) was not associated with the response to imatinib treatment in Egyptian patients with CML in chronic phase. These results prompt us to explore the effect of CYP3A5*3 in CML patients taking imatinib in a larger scale study.

Abstract
Physiological changes in pregnancy, including changes in body composition and metabolic enzyme activity, can alter drug pharmacokinetics. A semi-mechanistic metabolism model was developed to describe the pharmacokinetics of two cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) substrates, midazolam and nifedipine, in obstetrics patients. The model parameters were optimized to fit the data of oral midazolam pharmacokinetics in pregnant women, by increasing CYP3A-induced hepatic metabolism 1.6-fold in the model with no change in gut wall metabolism. Fetal metabolism had a negligible effect on maternal plasma drug concentrations. Validation of the model was performed by applying changes in volume of distribution and metabolism, consistent with those observed for midazolam, to the pharmacokinetics parameters of immediate-release nifedipine in healthy volunteers. The predicted steady-state areas under the concentration–time curve (AUCs) for nifedipine were within 15% of the data observed in pregnant women undergoing treatment for preterm labor. This model predicts the pharmacokinetics of two CYP3A substrates in pregnancy, and may be applicable to other CYP3A substrates as well.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Carbamazepine (CBZ) is metabolized mainly by the CYP3A family of enzymes, which includes CYP3A4 and CYP3A5. Several studies have suggested that the CYP3A5*3 genotype influences the pharmacokinetics of CYP3A substrates. The present study aimed to assess the effect of the CYP3A5*3 genotype on serum concentration of CBZ at the steady-state in Korean epileptic patients. METHOD The serum concentrations of CBZ in 35 Korean epileptic patients were measured and their CYP3A5 genotype was determined. Fourteen patients were CYP3A5 expressors (two for CYP3A5*1/*1 and 12 for CYP3A5*1/*3) and 21 patients were CYP3A5 non-expressors (CYP3A5*3/*3). Dose-normalized concentrations (mean +/- SD) of CBZ were 9.9 +/- 3.4 ng/mL/mg for CYP3A5 expressors and 13.1 +/- 4.5 ng/mL/mg for CYP3A5 non-expressors (P = 0.032). The oral clearance of CBZ was significantly higher in CYP3A5 non-expressors than that of CYP3A5 expressors (0.056 +/-0.017 L/h/kg vs. 0.040 +/- 0.014 L/h/kg, P = 0.004). The CYP3A5 genotype affected the CBZ concentrations in Korean epileptic patients and is a factor that may contribute to inter-individual variability in CBZ disposition in epileptic patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the association between CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 gene polymorphisms and blood pressure response to amlodipine among participants from the African-American Study of Kidney Disease and Hypertension Trial randomized to amlodipine (n = 164). METHODS Cox proportional hazards models were used to determine the risk of reaching a target mean arterial pressure (MAP) of < or =107 mm Hg by CYP3A4 (A-392G and T16090C) and CYP3A5 (A6986G) gene polymorphisms, stratified by MAP randomization group (low or usual) and controlling for other predictors for blood pressure response. RESULTS Women randomized to a usual MAP goal with an A allele at CYP3A4 A-392G were more likely to reach a target MAP of 107 mm Hg. The adjusted hazard ratio (AA/AG compared to GG) with 95% confidence interval was 3.41 (1.20-9.64; p = 0.020). Among participants randomized to a lower MAP goal, those with the C allele at CYP3A4 T16090C were more likely to reach target MAP: The adjusted hazard ratio was 2.04 (1.17-3.56; p = 0.010). After adjustment for multiple testing using a threshold significance level of p = 0.016, only the CYP3A4 T16090C SNP remained significant. CYP3A5 A6986G was not associated with blood pressure response. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that blood pressure response to amlodipine among high-risk African-Americans appears to be determined by CYP3A4 genotypes, and sex specificity may be an important consideration. Clinical applications of CYP3A4 genotype testing for individualized treatment regimens warrant further study.

Abstract
PURPOSE Our objective was to study the effects of polymorphic the CYP3A5 (allele *1 and *3), MDR1 [single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) G2677T, C3435T] and CACNA1C (SNPs rs2239128, rs2239050, rs2238032) genes on nimodipine oral disposition and response in healthy Chinese subjects. METHODS Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics data were obtained from a bioequivalence study, and the same 20 subjects were genotyped for CYP3A, MDR1 and CACNA1C. An additional 41 healthy Chinese subjects were recruited to obtain an indication of the distribution of CACNA1C polymorphisms in the Chinese population. Racial differences in the frequency of CACNA1C alleles were assessed. The phenotype differences between genotypes were analyzed. RESULTS The allelic frequencies of rs2239050 and rs2238032 in our Chinese cohort were different from those in a Caucasian population (p < 0.01). Subjects with mutant alleles (*3/*3) of the CYP3A5 gene had a decreased oral clearance of nimodipine, with a higher lnC(max) or 1n AUC(0-infinity) compared with those subjects with the heterozygote (*1/*3) or wild type (*1/*1) gene. The CACNA1C rs2239128 C and rs2239050 G SNPs were associated with a stronger efficacy compared with their respective alleles, rs2239128 T and rs2239050 C. MDR1 polymorphisms showed no significance in terms of nimodipine disposition. CONCLUSIONS The polymorphic CYP3A5 (allele *1 and *3) and CACNA1C genes have effects on nimodipine oral disposition and response in healthy Chinese subjects. The homozygous variant of CYP3A5 (*3/*3) was associated with significantly increased nimodipine exposure. CACNA1C SNPs rs2239128 C and rs2239050 G were associated with a stronger efficacy.

Abstract
In vitro data on the metabolism of the antifungal voriconazole suggest that its pharmacokinetics might be influenced by the activity of CYP2C19, CYP2C9, and CYP3A. To elucidate the genetic influence of polymorphic enzymes on voriconazole metabolism, the authors pooled the pharmacokinetic data from 2 interaction studies in which 35 participants were enrolled according to their CYP2C19 genotype to receive a single 400-mg oral dose of voriconazole. Nine participants were homozygous for CYP2C19(*)1/(*)1, 8 heterozygous for (*)1/(*)17, 11 heterozygous for (*)1/(*)2, 2 heterozygous for (*)2/(*)17, 4 homozygous for (*)2/(*)2, and 1 with a double mutation CYP2C19(*)2/(*)2(*)17. Nine (heterozygous) individuals were carriers of the CYP2C9(*)2 or (*)3 variant alleles. Twenty-five participants did not express the CYP3A5 isozyme ((*)3/(*)3), whereas in 5 individuals, the (*)1/(*)3 combination was present (active enzyme). In addition, the CYP2D6 genotype and 2 variants of the drug transporter MDR1 (C3435T and G2677T) were determined. Multiple regression analysis of voriconazole apparent oral clearance revealed that 49% of its variance can be explained solely by the CYP2C19 polymorphism (P < .0001). Including the other polymorphisms into the regression model did not show any significant contribution. The number of variant CYP2C19 alleles therefore explains a substantial part of the wide variability of voriconazole pharmacokinetics, whereas the presence of functional CYP3A5 and the CYP2C9 genotype had no significant impact on voriconazole exposure. Some minor contribution results from the MDR1 C3435T genotype.

Abstract
AIMS Thiotepa is widely used in high-dose chemotherapy. Previous studies have shown relations between exposure and severe organ toxicity. Thiotepa is metabolized by cytochrome P450 and glutathione S-transferase enzymes. Polymorphisms of these enzymes may affect elimination of thiotepa and tepa, its main metabolite. The purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of known allelic variants in CYP2B6, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, GSTA1 and GSTP1 genes on pharmacokinetics of thiotepa and tepa. METHODS White patients (n = 124) received a high-dose regimen consisting of cyclophosphamide, thiotepa and carboplatin as intravenous infusions. Genomic DNA was analysed using polymerase chain reaction and sequencing. Plasma concentrations of thiotepa and tepa were determined using validated GC and LC-MS/MS methods. Relations between allelic variants and elimination pharmacokinetic parameters were evaluated using nonlinear mixed effects modelling (nonmem). RESULTS The polymorphisms CYP2B6 C1459T, CYP3A4*1B, CYP3A5*3, GSTA1 (C-69T, G-52A) and GSTP1 C341T had a significant effect on clearance of thiotepa or tepa. Although significant, most effects were generally not large. Clearance of thiotepa and tepa was predominantly affected by GSTP1 C341T polymorphism, which had a frequency of 9.3%. This polymorphism increased non-inducible thiotepa clearance by 52% [95% confidence interval (CI) 41, 64, P < 0.001] and decreased tepa clearance by 32% (95% CI 29, 35, P < 0.001) in heterozygous patients, which resulted in an increase in combined exposure to thiotepa and tepa of 45% in homozygous patients. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that the presently evaluated variant alleles explain only a small part of the substantial interindividual variability in thiotepa and tepa pharmacokinetics. Patients homozygous for the GSTP1 C341T allele may have enhanced exposure to thiotepa and tepa.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Omeprazole is metabolized by the two cytochrome P450 isoforms, CYP3A (sulfoxidation) and CYP2C 19 (hydroxydation). The aim of this study was to determine whether the CYP3A5 genotype is an important determinant of inter-individual variability of total CYP3A activity in vivo. METHODS Plasma levels of omeprazole and omeprazole sulfone were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography in blood samples drawn 4-5 h after 43 CYP2C19 poor metabolizers (PMs) had ingested a single oral 40 mg dose of omeprazole. The CYP3A5*3 allele was identified using a PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay. RESULTS Among the 43 CYP2C19 PMs, 24 were CYP3A5*3/*3 carriers and 19 were CYP3A5*1 carriers (CYP3A5*I/*I in one subject and CYP3A5*1/*3 in 18 subjects). No significant difference was found between the mean log10 (metabolic ratio) of the CYP3A5*3/*3 carriers (0.314 +/- 0.369) and CYP3A5*1 carriers (0.330 +/- 0.313). CONCLUSIONS The CYP3A5 genotype was not an important factor underlying the inter-individual variation in the metabolic ratio of omeprazole to omeprazole sulfone in our study cohort, although genotype can be considered to be responsible for the inter-individual variation of many CYP3A substrates in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The inability to accurately predict treatment outcomes for cancer patients in terms of tumour response and anticancer drug toxicity is a severe limitation inherent in current approaches to chemotherapy. Many anticancer drugs are metabolically cleared by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), the predominant CYP expressed in liver. CYP3A4 expression exhibits marked interindividual variation and is repressed in acute inflammatory states. OBJECTIVES (1) To review the relevance of CYP3A4 variability to drug metabolism in the setting of cancer and to understand how inflammation associated with malignancy contributes to both this variability and to adverse treatment outcomes. (2) To examine the relationship between tumour-induced inflammation and repression of CYP3A4 and to explore methods of dosing of anticancer drugs in the setting of advanced cancer. METHODS Review of relevant literature covering both human and animal studies as well as in vitro mechanistic studies. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS Interindividual variability in CYP3A4 expression is a major confounding factor for effective cancer treatment and methods to predict CYP3A4-mediated drug clearance may have clinical utility in this setting. Although acute inflammation has long been recognised to repress drug metabolism, it is now becoming apparent that cancer patients exhibiting clinical and laboratory features of an inflammatory response have reduced expression of CYP3A4 and possibly other genes relevant to anticancer drug disposition.

Abstract
The hepatic and first-pass cytochrome P4503A (CYP3A) probe alfentanil (ALF) is also metabolized in vitro by CYP3A5. Human hepatic microsomal ALF metabolism is higher in livers with at least one CYP3A5*1 allele and higher CYP3A5 protein content, compared with CYP3A5*3 homozygotes with little CYP3A5. The influence of CYP3A5 genotype on ALF pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics was studied, and compared to midazolam (MDZ), another CYP3A probe. Healthy volunteers (58 men, 41 women) were genotyped for CYP3A5 *1, *3, *6, and *7 alleles. They received intravenous MDZ then ALF, and oral MDZ and ALF the next day. Plasma MDZ and ALF concentrations were determined by mass spectrometry. Dark-adapted pupil diameters were determined coincident with blood sampling. In CYP3A5(*)3/(*)3 (n=62), (*)1/(*)3 (n=28), and (*)1/(*)1 (n=8) genotypes, systemic clearances of ALF were 4.6+/-1.8, 4.8+/-1.7, and 3.9+/-1.7 ml/kg/min and those of MDZ were 7.8+/-2.3, 7.7+/-2.3, and 6.0+/-1.4 ml/kg/min, respectively (not significant), and apparent oral clearances were 11.8+/-7.2, 13.3+/-6.1, and 12.6+/-8.2 ml/kg/min for ALF and 35.2+/-19.0, 36.4+/-15.7, and 29.4+/-9.3 ml/kg/min for MDZ (not significant). Clearances were not different between African Americans (n=25) and Whites (n=68), or between CYP3A5 genotypes within African Americans. ALF pharmacodynamics was not different between CYP3A5 genotypes. There was consistent concordance between ALF and MDZ, in clearances and extraction ratios. Thus, in a relatively large cohort of healthy subjects with constitutive CYP3A activity, CYP3A5 genotype had no effect on the systemic or apparent oral clearances, or pharmacodynamics, of the CYP3A probes ALF and MDZ, despite affecting their hepatic microsomal metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Comorbidities associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver often require therapy with medications (eg, statins) metabolized by cytochrome P-450 3A (CYP3A). There is significant interindividual variability in CYP3A expression. However, human studies that systematically examined the relationship between hepatic steatosis and hepatic CYP3A activity are lacking. METHODS The relationship of hepatic CYP3A activity with several variables including hepatic steatosis, CYP3A4 protein content, CYP3A4 mRNA expression, CYP3A5 genotype, and its mRNA expression was investigated in human liver samples (n = 49). CYP3A activity was quantified from liver microsomes by using testosterone as a probe, and hepatic steatosis was defined to be present if >5% of hepatocytes had large globules of intracellular fat displacing the nucleus. RESULTS The mean +/- standard error hepatic CYP3A activity of the study group was 3156 +/- 2794 pmol x min(-1) x mg(-1) of protein, and it was not associated with age, gender, medicinal use, CYP3A5 or pregnane xenobiotic receptor mRNA expression, or CYP3A5 genotype. Twenty-four liver samples with steatosis had significantly lower hepatic CYP3A activity than 25 liver samples without steatosis (1978 +/- 299 vs 4287 +/- 659 pmol x min(-1) x mg(-1) of protein; P = .003). This difference persisted even after controlling for relevant covariates in the multivariate analysis (P = .04). However, CYP3A4 protein content was not different between the 2 groups (6 +/- 1.3 vs 8.5 +/- 2.2 pmol/mg protein; P = .3). There was a significant negative relationship between severity of steatosis and hepatic CYP3A activity (P = .01). CONCLUSIONS Hepatic steatosis is associated with decreased hepatic CYP3A activity in humans via post-translational mechanism. Further studies are needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract
The influence of diet and genetics was investigated in a healthy white person who had distinctly low methylprednisolone clearance. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameter values were similar on 2 occasions during the consumption of a low-carbohydrate diet and a Weight Watchers diet, indicating that the decreased clearance was unlikely attributable to a change in diet composition. Although the subject was found to be homozygous for CYP3A5*3, genetic findings were not significant for a number of other CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 allelic variants. Because of the high prevalence of CYP3A5*3/*3 in whites and because 5 of 7 white control subjects are also homozygous for CYP3A5*3, this genotype cannot fully explain the reduced metabolism of the drug. Other genetic or contributing factors might have been involved. New polymerase chain reaction-based genotyping methods for functionally defective CYP3A5*6, *8, *9, and *10 alleles were developed in this study. These assays will be useful for CYP3A5 genotype analysis in future clinical studies.

Abstract
The clinical community is moving rapidly toward the prospective application of gene-based drug dosing. Specifically within the cardiovascular arena, the cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A5*3 allele may represent an optimal starting point. All CYP3A5*3 alleles contain an A6986G transition in intron 3, which reduces enzyme expression through the introduction of a premature stop codon. The current review explores four potential reasons why the clinical and scientific communities should consider including CYP3A5*3 in any panel of gene polymorphisms developed for the purpose of guiding cardiovascular pharmacotherapy: the CYP3A enzyme family metabolizes nearly half of all prescription drugs; the CYP3A enzyme family metabolizes several drugs utilized for primary and secondary risk reduction in the context of coronary artery disease; the CYP3A5*3 allele has been associated with differential outcomes related to lipid lowering therapy; and the CYP3A5*3 allele is highly prevalent in all populations studied to date.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To study the correlation between CYP3A5 genotype and quinine 3-hydroxylation in black Tanzanian and Swedish Caucasians as well as to investigate the interethnic differences in CYP3A activity between the two populations. METHODS Tanzanian (n=144) and Swedish (n=136) healthy study participants were given a single oral 250 mg dose of quinine hydrochloride and a 16-h post-dose blood sample was collected. The metabolic ratio of quinine/3-hydroxyquinine was determined in plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography. All the participants were genotyped for the known mutations of CYP3A5, which are relevant for the respective population. Correlation between quinine metabolic ratio and CYP3A5 genotype as well as the interethnic difference in CYP3A activity between the two populations was studied. RESULTS Tanzanians had significantly higher (P<0.0001) mean quinine metabolic ratio (9.5+/-3.5) than Swedes (7.6+/-3.1). As expected, the frequency of high CYP3A5 expression alleles was higher in Tanzanians (51%) than in Swedes (7%). The mean+/-SD quinine metabolic ratio (10.7+/-3.9) in Tanzanians homozygous for low CYP3A5 expression gene was significantly higher than the corresponding mean metabolic ratio in participants heterozygous (9.5+/-3.3; P=0.02) or homozygous (8.1+/-3.1; P=0.002) for high expression CYP3A5 alleles, respectively. A tendency to higher quinine metabolic ratio in Swedes with low expression alleles compared with those with one or two high expression alleles was observed. Tanzanians homozygous for low CYP3A5 expression gene (i.e. only CYP3A4 is expressed) had significantly (P<0.0001) higher quinine metabolic ratio (10.7+/-3.9) than corresponding Swedes (7.7+/-3.1). CONCLUSIONS Clear interethnic differences were observed in the activity of CYP3A between Tanzanians and Swedes. A significant association is noted between CYP3A5 genotype and quinine 3-hydroxylation in Tanzanians, indicating a significant contribution of CYP3A5 to total 3A activity. The CYP3A4 catalyzed hydroxylation of quinine (two low CYP3A5 expression alleles) was lower in Tanzanians than in Swedes.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 is responsible for most CYP3A-mediated drug metabolism but the minor isoforms CYP3A5, CYP3A7 and CYP3A43 also contribute. CYP3A5 is the best studied of the minor CYP3A isoforms. It is well established that only approximately 20% of livers express CYP3A5. The most common reason for the absence of expression is a splice site mutation. The frequency of variant alleles shows interethnic differences, with the wild-type CYP3A5*1 allele more common in Africans than Caucasians and Asians. In individuals who express CYP3A5, the percentage contributed to total hepatic CYP3A by this isoform is still unclear, with estimates ranging from 17% to 50%. CYP3A5 is also expressed in a range of extrahepatic tissues. Only limited information is available on the regulation of CYP3A5 expression but it appears to be inducible via the glucocorticoid receptor, pregnane X receptor and constitutive androstane receptor-beta, as for CYP3A4. Although information on the substrate specificity of CYP3A5 is limited compared with CYP3A4, there have been a number of recent pharmacokinetic studies on a small range of substrates in individuals of known genotype to investigate the contribution of CYP3A5. In the case of midazolam, ciclosporin, nifedipine and docetaxel, clearance by individuals with a CYP3A5-expressing genotype did not differ from that for nonexpressors, but in the case of tacrolimus, eight independent studies have demonstrated faster clearance by those carrying one or two CYP3A5*1 alleles. This may reflect faster turnover of tacrolimus by CYP3A5 than the other substrates. CYP3A5 genotype may affect cancer susceptibility. Certain combined CYP3A4/CYP3A5 haplotypes show differential susceptibility to prostate cancer and there is a nonsignificant increase in the risk of small-cell lung cancer for a CYP3A5*1/*1 genotype. Females positive for CYP3A5*1 appear to reach puberty earlier, which may affect breast cancer risk. CYP3A5*1 homozygotes may have higher systolic blood pressure.CYP3A7 is predominantly expressed in fetal liver but is also found in some adult livers and extrahepatically. The molecular basis for expression in adult liver relates to upstream polymorphisms, which appear to increase homology to CYP3A4 and make regulation of expression more similar. CYP3A7 has a specific role in hydroxylation of retinoic acid and 16alpha-hydroxylation of steroids, and is therefore of relevance both to normal development and carcinogenesis.CYP3A43 is the most recently discovered CYP3A isoform. In addition to a low level of expression in liver, it is expressed in prostate and testis. Its substrate specificity is currently unclear. Polymorphisms predicting absence of active enzyme have been identified.

Abstract
Due to their enormous substrate spectrum CYP3A4, -3A5 and -3A7 constitute the most important drug-metabolising enzyme subfamily in humans. CYP3As are expressed predominantly, but not exclusively, in the liver and intestine, where they participate in the metabolism of 45 - 60% of currently used drugs and many other compounds such as steroids and carcinogens. CYP3A expression and activity vary interindividually due to a combination of genetic and nongenetic factors such as hormone and health status, and the impact of environmental stimuli. Over the past several years, genetic determinants have been identified for much of the variable expression of CYP3A5 and -3A7, but not for CYP3A4. Using these markers, an effect of CYP3A5 expression status has been demonstrated beyond doubt for therapies with the immunosuppressive drug tacrolimus. Further associations are likely to emerge for drugs metabolised predominantly by CYP3A5 or -3A7, especially for individuals or tissues with concomitant low expression of CYP3A4. However, as exemplified by the controversial association between CYP3A4*1B and prostate cancer, the detection of clinical effects of CYP3A gene variants will be difficult. The most important underlying problems are the continuing absence of activity markers specific for CYP3A4 and the strong contribution of nongenetic factors to CYP3A variability.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of naturally occurring variants in genes encoding the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 in patients with cancer receiving midazolam as a phenotyping probe. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Five variants in CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 were evaluated in 58 patients (21 women and 37 men) receiving a short i.v. bolus of midazolam (dose, 0.0145 or 0.025 mg/kg). Midazolam concentrations in plasma were determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and pharmacokinetic variables were calculated using noncompartmental analysis. Genomic DNA was characterized for the variants by PCR-RFLP, and all genotypes were confirmed by direct nucleotide sequencing. RESULTS The mean clearance of midazolam was 24.4 +/- 9.12 L/h, and phenotypic CYP3A activity varied about 4-fold in this population (range, 10.8-44.3 L/h). There were six carriers of the CYP3A4*1B allele (allele frequency, 0.061). No variant alleles for CYP3A4*17, CYP3A4*18A, or CYP3A5*6 were identified. Forty-eight of the 58 patients were homozygous variant for CYP3A5*3C, eight were heterozygous, and two were homozygous wild type (allele frequency, 0.897). No associations were noted between any of the studied genotypes and the phenotypic measures (P > or = 0.16). Likewise, a common variant in exon 26 in the gene encoding P-glycoprotein [i.e., ABCB1 (MDR1) 3435C>T] that was previously reported to be linked to CYP3A4 mRNA levels was unrelated to any of the studied phenotypic measures (P > or = 0.49). CONCLUSIONS The studied genetic variants in CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 are unlikely to have an important functional significance to phenotypic CYP3A activity in patients with cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE To retrospectively evaluate the effects of six known allelic variants in the CYP2C8, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and ABCB1 genes on the pharmacokinetics of the anticancer agent paclitaxel (Taxol). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN A cohort of 97 Caucasian patients with cancer (median age, 57 years) received paclitaxel as an i.v. infusion (dose range, 80-225 mg/m(2)). Genomic DNA was analyzed using PCR RFLP or using Pyrosequencing. Pharmacokinetic variables for unbound paclitaxel were estimated using nonlinear mixed effect modeling. The effects of genotypes on typical value of clearance were evaluated with the likelihood ratio test within NONMEM. In addition, relations between genotype and individual pharmacokinetic variable estimates were evaluated with one-way ANOVA. RESULTS The allele frequencies for the CYP2C8*2, CYP2C8*3, CYP2C8*4, CYP3A4*3, CYP3A5*3C, and ABCB1 3435C>T variants were 0.7%, 9.2%, 2.1%, 0.5%, 93.2%, and 47.1%, respectively, and all were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The population typical value of clearance of unbound paclitaxel was 301 L/h (individual clearance range, 83.7-1055 L/h). The CYP2C8 or CYP3A4/5 genotypes were not statistically significantly associated with unbound clearance of paclitaxel. Likewise, no statistically significant association was observed between the ABCB1 3435C>T variant and any of the studied pharmacokinetic variables. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that the presently evaluated variant alleles in the CYP2C8, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and ABCB1 genes do not explain the substantial interindividual variability in paclitaxel pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
The total CYP3A5 mRNA level is significantly greater in carriers of the CYP3A5*1 allele than in CYP3A5*3 homozygotes. Most of the CYP3A5*3 mRNA includes an intronic sequence (exon 3B) containing premature termination codons (PTCs) between exons 3 and 4. Two models were used to investigate the degradation of CYP3A5 mRNA: a CYP3A5 minigene consisting of CYP3A5 exons and introns 3 to 6 transfected into MCF7 cells, and the endogenous CYP3A5 gene expressed in HepG2 cells. The 3'-untranslated region g.31611C>T mutation has no effect on CYP3A5 mRNA decay. Splice variants containing exon 3B were more unstable than wild-type (wt) CYP3A5 mRNA. Cycloheximide prevents the recognition of PTCs by ribosomes: in transfected MCF7 and HepG2 cells, cycloheximide slowed down the degradation of exon 3B-containing splice variants, suggesting the participation of nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). When PTCs were removed from pseudoexon 3B or when UPF1 small interfering RNA was used to impair the NMD mechanism, the decay of the splice variant was reduced, confirming the involvement of NMD in the degradation of CYP3A5 splice variants. Induction could represent a source of variability for CYP3A5 expression and could modify the proportion of splice variants. The extent of CYP3A5 induction was investigated after exposure to barbiturates or steroids: CYP3A4 was markedly induced in a pediatric population compared with untreated neonates. However, no effect could be detected in either the total CYP3A5 RNA, the proportion of splice variant RNA, or the protein level. Therefore, in these carriers, induction is unlikely to switch on the phenotypic CYP3A5 expression in carriers of CYP3A5*3/*3.

Abstract
Interethnic variability in pharmacokinetics can cause unexpected outcomes such as therapeutic failure, adverse effects, and toxicity in subjects of different ethnic origin undergoing medical treatment. It is important to realize that both genetic and environmental factors can lead to these differences among ethnic groups. The International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) published a guidance to facilitate the registration of drugs among ICH regions (European Union, Japan, the United States) by recommending a framework for evaluating the impact of ethnic factors on a drug's effect, as well as its efficacy and safety at a particular dosage and dosage regimen. This review focuses on the pharmacokinetic differences between East Asians and Caucasians. Differences in metabolism between East Asians and Caucasians are common, especially in the activity of several phase I enzymes such as CYP2D6 and the CYP2C subfamily. Before drug therapy, identification of either the genotype and/or the phenotype for these enzymes may be of therapeutic value, particularly for drugs with a narrow therapeutic index. Furthermore, these differences are relevant for international drug approval when regulatory agencies must decide if they accept results from clinical trials performed in other parts of the world.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose is to identify the demographic, physiologic, and inheritable factors that influence CYP3A activity in cancer patients. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN A total of 134 patients (62 females; age range, 26 to 83 years) underwent the erythromycin breath test as a phenotyping probe of CYP3A. Genomic DNA was screened for six variants of suspected functional relevance in CYP3A4 (CYP3A4*1B, CYP3A4*6, CYP3A4*17, and CYP3A4*18) and CYP3A5 (CYP3A5*3C and CYP3A5*6). RESULTS CYP3A activity (AUC(0-40 min)) varied up to 14-fold in this population. No variants in the CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 genes were a significant predictor of CYP3A activity (P > 0.2954). CYP3A activity was reduced by approximately 50% in patients with concurrent elevations in liver transaminases and alkaline phosphatase or elevated total bilirubin (P < 0.001). In a multivariate analysis, CYP3A activity was not significantly influenced by age, sex, and body size measures (P > 0.05), but liver function combined with the concentration of the acute-phase reactant, alpha-1 acid glycoprotein, explained approximately 18% of overall variation in CYP3A activity (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that baseline demographic, physiologic, and chosen genetic polymorphisms have a minor impact on phenotypic CYP3A activity in patients with cancer. Consideration of additional factors, including the inflammation marker C-reactive protein, as well as concomitant use of other drugs, food constituents, and complementary and alternative medicine with inhibitory and inducible effects on CYP3A, is needed to reduce variation in CYP3A and treatment outcome to anticancer therapy.

Abstract
The cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) subfamily members are the most abundant and important drug-metabolizing enzymes in humans, and wide interindividual variability in CYP3A expression and function is present. CYP3A4 alone cannot fully explain the observed constitutive variability because its genetic variants are relatively uncommon and have limited functional significance, whereas CYP3A5 expression in humans is highly variable and may be contributory. However, it is difficult to delineate the relative contribution of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5, and to differentiate their effects on drug metabolism as their protein structure, function and substrates are so similar. By contrast, molecular biology methods provide the ability to identify CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 genotypes with certainty. This review collates currently available data on CYP3A5 polymorphisms, provides information on the population frequency of each genetic variant in major ethnic groups, and describes in vitro and in vivo studies that have attempted to identify genotype-phenotype associations.
