Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pharmacokinetic (PK) drug-drug interactions (DDIs) of oral haloperidol, a first-generation antipsychotic, are systematically reviewed. AREAS COVERED After exclusions, the search for DDIs with oral haloperidol provided 47 articles as victim and 7 as perpetrator. Changes in mean haloperidol concentration-to-dose (C/D) ratios after weighting each study's size were used to calculate the effects of other drugs (inhibitors/inducers) on haloperidol. These changes of haloperidol C/D ratio were used to estimate dose-correction factors (<1 for inhibitors and >1 for inducers). EXPERT OPINION A box summarizes our recommendations for clinicians regarding our current knowledge of haloperidol PK DDIs, which will need to be updated as new information becomes available. Moderate to strong inducers (carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, or rifampin) should be avoided since they required dose-correction factors of 2-5. Smoking appeared to be a weak inducer (dose-correction factor 1.2). Fluvoxamine, promethazine, and combinations of CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 inhibitors should be avoided. There are no long-term studies on fluoxetine to provide a dose correction factor. Limited information suggests that valproate may be an inhibitor (dose-correction factor 0.6). In most patients, haloperidol may not have clinically relevant effects as a perpetrator, but in vitro and clinical studies suggest it is a weak CYP2D6 inhibitor.

Lack of correlation between the steady-state plasma concentrations of aripiprazole and haloperidol in Japanese patients with schizophrenia. Ther Drug Monit 2015; 36:815-8. [PMID: 24739668 DOI: 10.1097/ftd.0000000000000082] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Both aripiprazole and haloperidol have been used in the treatment of schizophrenia, and are metabolized by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 and CYP3A4. The authors studied the correlations between the steady-state plasma concentrations (Css) of aripiprazole and its active metabolite, dehydroaripiprazole, and those of haloperidol in 19 Japanese patients with schizophrenia, together with the effects of CYP2D6 genotypes on the steady-state kinetics of these compounds. METHODS All the patients received first 24 mg/d of aripiprazole for 3 weeks and later received 6 mg/d of haloperidol for 2 weeks. Blood samplings were performed at least 2 weeks after the initiation of each treatment. The Css values of aripiprazole and dehydroaripiprazole were measured using liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric detection, and those of haloperidol were measured by using an enzyme immunoassay. CYP2D6 genotypes were determined by using polymerase chain reaction analysis. RESULTS None of the correlations between the Css of aripiprazole (r = 0.286) or the sum of aripiprazole plus dehydroaripiprazole (r = 0.344) and those of haloperidol were significant. The mean Css of aripiprazole was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the subjects with 1 *10 allele of CYP2D6 (n = 6) than in those with no mutated alleles (n = 13), whereas there were no significant differences in those of haloperidol between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that the Css of aripiprazole and that of aripiprazole plus dehydroaripiprazole do not correlate with that of haloperidol in the same individual, because of the greater involvement of CYP2D6 in the metabolism of aripiprazole than in that of haloperidol.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance P-glycoprotein (P-gp; also known as MDR1 and ABCB1) is expressed in the luminal membrane of the small intestine and blood-brain barrier, and the apical membranes of excretory cells such as hepatocytes and kidney proximal tubule epithelia. P-gp regulates the absorption and elimination of a wide range of compounds, such as digoxin, paclitaxel, HIV protease inhibitors and psychotropic drugs. Its substrate specificity is as broad as that of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4, which encompasses up to 50 % of the currently marketed drugs. There has been considerable interest in variations in the ABCB1 gene as predictors of the pharmacokinetics and/or treatment outcomes of several drug classes, including antidepressants and antipsychotics. Moreover, P-gp-mediated transport activity is saturable, and is subject to modulation by inhibition and induction, which can affect the pharmacokinetics, efficacy or safety of P-gp substrates. In addition, many of the P-gp substrates overlap with CYP3A4 substrates, and several psychotropic drugs that are P-gp substrates are also CYP3A4 substrates. Therefore, psychotropic drugs that are P-gp substrates may cause a drug interaction when P-gp inhibitors and inducers are coadministered, or when psychotropic drugs or other medicines that are P-gp substrates are added to a prescription. Hence, it is clinically important to accumulate data about drug interactions through studies on P-gp, in addition to CYP3A4, to assist in the selection of appropriate psychotropic medications and in avoiding inappropriate combinations of therapeutic agents. There is currently insufficient information available on the psychotropic drug interactions related to P-gp, and therefore we summarize the recent clinical data in this review.

Abstract
A major metabolic pathway of haloperidol is glucuronidation catalyzed by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT). In this study, we found that two glucuronides were formed by the incubation of haloperidol with human liver microsomes (HLM) and presumed that the major and minor metabolites (>10-fold difference) were O- and N-glucuronide, respectively. The haloperidol N-glucuronidation was catalyzed solely by UGT1A4, whereas the haloperidol O-glucuronidation was catalyzed by UGT1A4, UGT1A9, and UGT2B7. The kinetics of the haloperidol O-glucuronidation in HLM was monophasic with K(m) and V(max) values of 85 μM and 3.2 nmol · min⁻¹ · mg⁻¹, respectively. From the kinetic parameters of the recombinant UGT1A4 (K(m) = 64 μM, V(max) = 0.6 nmol · min⁻¹ · mg⁻¹), UGT1A9 (K(m) = 174 μM, V(max) = 2.3 nmol · min⁻¹ · mg⁻¹), and UGT2B7 (K(m) = 45 μM, V(max) = 1.0 nmol · min⁻¹ · mg⁻¹), we could not estimate which isoform largely contributes to the reaction. Because the haloperidol O-glucuronidation in a panel of 17 HLM was significantly correlated (r = 0.732, p < 0.01) with zidovudine O-glucuronidation, a probe activity of UGT2B7, and the activity in the pooled HLM was prominently inhibited (58% of control) by gemfibrozil, an inhibitor of UGT2B7, we surmised that the reaction would mainly be catalyzed by UGT2B7. We could successfully estimate, using the concept of the relative activity factor, that the contributions of UGT1A4, UGT1A9, and UGT2B7 in HLM were approximately 10, 20, and 70%, respectively. The present study provides new insight into haloperidol glucuronidation, concerning the causes of interindividual differences in the efficacy and adverse reactions or drug-drug interactions.

Abstract
A recent in vitro study has shown that paroxetine is a substrate of P-glycoprotein. However, there was no in vivo information indicating the involvement of P-glycoprotein on the pharmacokinetics of paroxetine. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of itraconazole, a P-glycoprotein inhibitor, on the pharmacokinetics of paroxetine. Two 6 day courses of either 200 mg itraconazole daily or placebo with at least a 4 week washout period were conducted. Thirteen volunteers took a single oral 20 mg dose of paroxetine on day 6 of both courses. Plasma concentrations of paroxetine were monitored up to 48 hours after the dosing. Compared with placebo, itraconazole treatment significantly increased the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of paroxetine by 1.3 fold (6.7 +/- 2.5 versus 9.0 +/- 3.3 ng/mL, P < 0.05) and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from zero to 48 hours [AUC (0-48)] of paroxetine by 1.5 fold (137 +/- 73 versus 199 +/- 91 ng*h/mL, P < 0.01). Although elimination half-life differed significantly (16.1 +/- 3.4 versus 18.8 +/- 5.9 hours, P < 0.05), the alteration was small (1.1 fold). The present study demonstrated that the bioavailability of paroxetine was increased by itraconazole, suggesting a possible involvement of P-glycoprotein in the pharmacokinetics of paroxetine.

Abstract
KR-33028 (N-[4-cyano-benzo[b]thiophene-2-carbonyl]guanidine) is a new cardioprotective agent for preventing ischemia-reperfusion injury. This study was performed to characterize the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes that are involved in the metabolism of KR-33028. Hydroxylation (5-hydroxy- and 7-hydroxy-KR-33028) is major pathways for the metabolism of KR-33028 in human liver microsomes. Among the nine c-DNA expressed CYP isoforms tested, KR-33028 was 5-hydroxylated by CYP3A4 and 7-hydroxylated by CYP1A2, CYP3A4, and CYP2C19. These findings were supported by the combination of chemical inhibition studies in human liver microsomes and correlation analysis. Furafylline and ketoconazole potently inhibited hydroxylation of KR-33028 in human liver microsomes. Correlation analysis between the known CYP enzyme activities and the rates of the formation of 5-hydroxy- and 7-hydroxy-KR-33028 in the 16 human liver microsomes has showed significant correlations with CYP3A4-mediated midazolam 1'-hydroxylation and CYP1A2-mediated phenacetin O-deethylation, respectively. A 7-hydroxy-KR-33028 formation is also weakly correlated with CYP3A4-mediated midazolam 1'-hydroxylation. The kinetics of the major biotransformation of KR-33028 were studied: CYP3A4 mediated the formation of 5-hydroxy-KR-33028 from KR-33028 with Cl(int)=0.22microl/min/pmol CYP. The intrinsic clearance for 7-hydroxy-KR-33028 formation by CYP1A2, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4 were 0.26, 0.19, and 0.03microl/min/pmol CYP, respectively. Taken together, these results provide evidence that CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 are the major isoforms responsible for the hydroxy metabolites formation from KR-33028.

Abstract
This study was to evaluate the combined effects of the CYP3A4 inhibitor itraconazole and the CYP2D6*10 genotype on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of haloperidol, a substrate of both CYP2D6 and CYP3A4, in healthy subjects. Nineteen healthy volunteers whose CYP2D6 genotypes were predetermined were enrolled (9 for CYP2D6*1/*1 and 10 for CYP2D6*10/*10). Four subjects (1 for CYP2D6*1/*1 and 3 for CYP2D6*10/*10) did not complete the study because of adverse events. The pharmacokinetics of haloperidol and its pharmacodynamic effects measured for QTc prolongation and neurologic side effects were evaluated after a single dose of 5 mg haloperidol following a pretreatment of placebo or itraconazole at 200 mg/d for 10 days in a randomized crossover manner. Itraconazole pretreatment increased the mean area under the time-concentration curves (AUCs) of haloperidol by 55% compared to placebo pretreatment (21.7 +/- 11.3 vs 33.5 +/- 29.3 ng h/mL). The subjects with CYP2D6*10/*10 genotype showed 81% higher AUC compared to that of subjects with CYP2D6*1/*1 genotype (27.6 +/- 22.2 vs 50.2 +/- 47.1 ng h/mL). In the presence of itraconazole, subjects with CYP2D6*10/*10 showed 3-fold higher AUC of haloperidol compared to that of placebo pretreated subjects with CYP2D6*1/*1 genotype (21.7 +/- 11.3 vs 66.7 +/- 62.1 ng h/mL; P < 0.05). The CYP2D6*10 genotype and itraconazole pretreatment decreased the oral clearance of haloperidol by 24% and 25%, respectively, but without a statistical significance. In the subjects with both CYP2D6*10 genotype and itraconazole pretreatment, however, the oral clearance was significantly decreased to 42% of subjects with wild genotype in the placebo pretreatment (4.7 +/- 3.6 vs 2.0 +/- 1.9 L/h/kg; P < 0.05). Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale (BARS) of subjects with CYP2D6*10/*10 in the presence of itraconazole pretreatment was significantly higher than that of subjects with CYP2D6*1/*1 genotype in the period of placebo pretreatment. Except for this, all other pharmacodynamic estimations did not reach to statistical significance although each CYP2D6*10 genotype and itraconazole pretreatment caused higher value of UKU side effect and BARS scores. The moderate effect of CYP2D6*10 genotype on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of haloperidol seems to be augmented by the presence of itraconazole pretreatment.

Abstract
KR-32570 (5-(2-methoxy-5-chlorophenyl)furan-2-ylcarbonyl)guanidine) is a new reversible Na+/H+ exchanger inhibitor for preventing ischemia-reperfusion injury. This study was performed to identify the metabolic pathway of KR-32570 in human liver microsomes. Human liver microsomal incubation of KR-32570 in the presence of NADPH and UDPGA resulted in the formation of six metabolites, M1-M6. M1 was identified as O-desmethyl-KR-32570, on the basis of liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometric (LC/MS/MS) analysis with the synthesized authentic standard. M2 and M3 were suggested to be hydroxy-KR-32570 and hydroxy-O-desmethyl-KR-32570, respectively. M1, M2, and M3 were further metabolized to their glucuronide conjugates, M4, M5, and M6, respectively. In addition, the specific P450 isoforms responsible for KR-32570 oxidation to two major metabolites, O-desmethyl-KR-32570 and hydroxy-KR-32570, were identified using a combination of correlation analysis, chemical inhibition in human liver microsomes and metabolism by expressed recombinant P450 isoforms. The inhibitory potency of KR-32570 on clinically major P450s was investigated in human liver microsomes. The results show that CYP3A4 contributes to the oxidation of KR-32570 to hydroxy-KR-32570, and CYP1A2 play the predominant role in O-demethylation of KR-32570. KR-32570 was found to inhibit moderately the metabolism of CYP2C8 substrates.

Abstract
We studied the pharmacokinetics and QT interval pharmacodynamics of a single 10 mg dose of oral haloperidol in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial of healthy poor (PMs) and extensive (EMs) metabolizers of CYP2D6. There was a statistically significant greater mean QT(c) on haloperidol (421.6+/-20.1 ms) than on placebo (408.4+/-18.5 ms, P=0.0053) occurring 10 h post haloperidol/placebo administration. Men and women had similar ranges of QT(c) changes from placebo. Despite a statistically significant greater mean elimination half-life (19.1+/-3.6 vs 12.9+/-4.0 h, P=0.04) and lower mean apparent oral clearance (12.8+/-4.1 vs 27.0+/-11.3 ml/min/kg, P=0.02) of haloperidol in CYP2D6 PMs than in EMs, this exposure change did not translate into marked QT(c) changes from baseline that could be considered clinically important. Although the magnitude of the mean QT(c) prolongation on haloperidol relative to placebo is relatively small, it may assume significance in the presence of other risk factors for QT prolongation.

Abstract
A reduction in haloperidol concentration induced by carbamazepine coadministration has been consistently reported. However, the degree of this reduction is very different among individuals treated with various doses of carbamazepine. Thus, we investigated dose effect of carbamazepine on the steady-state plasma concentration of haloperidol. Eleven excited schizophrenic inpatients, despite receiving haloperidol 12 mg/d, were treated with incremental doses of carbamazepine for 6 weeks (100, 300, 600 mg/d for 2 weeks each). Plasma drug concentrations were monitored together with clinical assessments before and after each phase of the 3 carbamazepine doses. Mean haloperidol concentrations during coadministration of carbamazepine 100, 300, and 600 mg/d were 75%, 39%, and 15%, respectively, of corresponding variables before carbamazepine coadministration. Negative linear correlations were observed between dose or plasma concentration of carbamazepine and the degree of reduction in haloperidol concentration. Mean carbamazepine dose and plasma carbamazepine concentrations at 50% reduction of haloperidol concentration were 240 mg/d and 3.5 microg/mL, respectively. Scores in total and excitement symptoms were significantly reduced after carbamazepine coadministration, whereas no changes were observed in other clinical symptoms or any of the subgroup side effects. Therefore, this study indicates that carbamazepine decreases plasma haloperidol concentration in a dose-dependent or concentration-dependent manner, and that reduction in haloperidol concentration is apparent even at subtherapeutic dose of carbamazepine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was carried out to evaluate the influence of CYP2D6 polymorphism and smoking on the plasma clearance of haloperidol (HAL) levels, accounting for the antipsychotic dose, body weight, and coadministration of other drugs. METHODS Subjects were 110 Japanese patients (66 male, 44 female) diagnosed with schizophrenia, dementia, or mood disorder and treated orally with HAL. Venous blood was obtained from each patient to determine the HAL concentration/dose (C/D) ratio (plasma concentration of HAL divided by the daily dose of HAL per body weight) and for CYP2D6 genotyping. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the HAL C/D ratio between nonsmokers and smokers. In patients with a non-2D6*10 homozygous genotype, smokers had a significantly lower HAL C/D ratio than nonsmokers, whereas smokers with a 2D6*10 homozygous genotype had a significantly higher HAL C/D ratio than those with a non-2D6*10 homozygous genotype. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that the effect of smoking on the HAL C/D ratio depends on the CYP2D6*10 genotype.

Abstract
Oral antifungal drugs are generally regarded as effective and safe when used according to their manufacturer's recommendation. However, when an oral antifungal agent is administered with certain interacting agents or classes of drugs, rare severe iatrogenic adverse experiences including death may occur. This article alerts and demystifies some of the clinically significant oral antifungal drug interactions by exploring their underlying pharmacological basis.

Abstract
The effects of histamine H1-receptor antagonists, promethazine and homochlorcyclizine, both of which are inhibitors of CYP2D6, on the steady-state plasma concentrations (Css) of haloperidol and reduced haloperidol were studied in 23 schizophrenic inpatients receiving haloperidol, 12 to 36 mg/d, for 2 to 29 weeks. Promethazine, 150 mg/d, in 11 patients and homochlorcyclizine, 60 mg/d, in the others were coadministered for at least 1 week. Blood sampling was performed before and during coadministration of promethazine or homochlorcyclizine and 1 week after the discontinuation, together with clinical assessments by Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) and Udvalg for kliniske undersogelser (UKU) side effect rating scale. The Css (mean +/- SD) of haloperidol and reduced haloperidol during promethazine coadministration (27.6 +/- 24.9 and 8.6 +/- 13.2 ng/mL) were significantly higher than those before the coadministration (12.7 +/- 10.8 and 5.0 +/- 6.0 ng/mL; P < 0.01) or 1 week after the discontinuation (15.6 +/- 14.8 and 5.8 +/- 7.9 ng/mL; P < 0.05). The Css of haloperidol and reduced haloperidol during homochlorcyclizine coadministration (14.9 +/- 8.1 and 6.4 +/- 5.4 ng/mL) were also significantly higher than those before the coadministration (10.9 +/- 7.2 and 3.8 +/- 3.6 ng/mL; P < 0.01) or 1 week after the discontinuation (12.9 +/- 7.4 and 4.8 +/- 4.1 ng/mL; P < 0.05). No change in BPRS or UKU score was found throughout the study. Thus, the current study suggests that coadministration of clinical doses of promethazine and homochlorcyclizine increases the Css of haloperidol and reduced haloperidol via the inhibitory effects on the CYP2D6-catalyzed metabolism of haloperidol and reduced haloperidol.

Abstract
Many antipsychotics, including perphenazine, zuclopenthixol, thioridazine, haloperidol and risperidone, are metabolised to a significant extent by the polymorphic cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6, which shows large interindividual variation in activity. Significant relationships between CYP2D6 genotype and steady-state concentrations have been reported for perphenazine, zuclopenthixol, risperidone and haloperidol when used in monotherapy. Other CYPs, especially CYP1A2 and CYP3A4, also contribute to the interindividual variability in the kinetics of antipsychotics and the occurrence of drug interactions. For many antipsychotics, the role of the different CYPs at therapeutic drug concentrations remains to be clarified. Some studies have suggested that poor metabolisers for CYP2D6 would be more prone to oversedation and possibly parkinsonism during treatment with classical antipsychotics, whereas other, mostly retrospective, studies have been negative or inconclusive. For the newer antipsychotics, such data are lacking. Whether phenotyping or genotyping for CYP2D6 or other CYPs can be used to predict an optimal dose range has not been studied so far. Genotyping or phenotyping can today be recommended as a complement to plasma concentration determination when aberrant metabolic capacity (poor or ultrarapid) of CYP2D6 substrates is suspected. The current rapid developments in molecular genetic methodology and pharmacogenetic knowledge can in the near future be expected to provide new tools for prediction of the activity of the various drug-metabolising enzymes. Further prospective clinical studies in well-defined patient populations and with adequate evaluation of therapeutic and adverse effects are required to establish the potential of pharmacogenetic testing in clinical psychiatry.

Abstract
Antipsychotic drugs are used for the treatment of schizophrenia and other related psychotic disorders. The antipsychotics currently available include older or classical compounds and newer or atypical agents. Most antipsychotic drugs are highly lipophilic compounds and undergo extensive metabolism by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes in order to be excreted. There is a wide interindividual variability in the biotransformation of antipsychotic drugs, resulting in pronounced differences in steady-state plasma concentrations and, possibly, in therapeutic and toxic effects, during treatment with fixed doses. Many classical and some newer antipsychotics are metabolized to a significant extent by the polymorphic CYP2D6, which shows large interindividual variation in activity. Other CYPs, especially CYP1A2 and CYP3A4, also contribute to the interindividual variability in the kinetics of antipsychotics and occurrence of drug interactions. No relationship between CYP2D6 genotype or activity and therapeutic effects of classical antipsychotic drugs has been found in the few studies performed. On the other hand, some investigations suggest that poor metabolizers (PMs) of CYP2D6 would be more prone to over-sedation and, possibly, Parkinsonism during treatment with classical antipsychotics, while other studies, mostly retrospective, have been negative or inconclusive. For the newer antipsychotics, such data are lacking. To date, CYP2D6 phenotyping and genotyping appear, therefore, to be clinically useful for dose predicting only in special cases and for a limited number of antipsychotics, while their usefulness in predicting clinical effects must be further explored.

Abstract
The authors studied the interactive effects of the coadministration of haloperidol and chlorpromazine on plasma concentrations of haloperidol and reduced haloperidol. The subjects were 43 Japanese male schizophrenic inpatients who were concomitantly treated with chlorpromazine before or after monotherapy with haloperidol. Coadministration of chlorpromazine produced significant increases in the plasma concentrations of haloperidol (P < 0.01) and reduced haloperidol (P < 0.001) by an average of 28.5% +/- 83.3% and 160.8% +/- 288.9%, respectively. However, there were marked interindividual variations in the interactive effects of chlorpromazine. The authors analyzed the importance of five CYP2D6 genotypes, *1/ *1, *1/ *10, *10/ *10, *1/*5, and *5/*10 on the percentage of change in plasma concentrations of haloperidol and reduced haloperidol. Patients with the CYP2D6*5 allele (n = 4) showed a significantly smaller increase in plasma concentrations of haloperidol (P < 0.05) and a slightly smaller increase in those of reduced haloperidol (P = 0.074) in response to the coadministration of chlorpromazine compared than those with the CYP2D6*1/*1 genotype (n = 8). Those with the CYP2D6*1/*1 genotype (n = 8) showed a trend toward greater increases in plasma concentrations of haloperidol than those with other genotypes (P = 0.087).

Abstract
Patients with psychiatric illnesses may be at higher risk for the development of certain medical problems. Those with more severe psychiatric illnesses may encounter barriers to promoting good health and to obtaining good health care when comorbid illnesses do occur. This paper reviews some of the recent literature on health care practices and health system access for the mentally ill; HIV care and its relationship to mental disorders; drug interactions between general medical drugs and psychotropics; and certain medical conditions that appear to co-occur more frequently with psychiatric disorders.

Abstract
The effect of a genetic polymorphism of inducibility of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2 on the steady state plasma concentrations (Css) of haloperidol and reduced haloperidol was studied to clarify if these Css are dependent on the CYP1A2 activity. The subjects were 101 Japanese schizophrenic inpatients receiving oral haloperidol 12 mg/d. The Css of haloperidol and reduced haloperidol were measured in duplicate by high performance liquid chromatographic method, and were corrected to the mean body weight. A point mutation from guanine (wild-type) to adenine (mutated-type) at position -2964 in the 5'-flanking region of CYP1A2 gene was identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-fragment length polymorphism method. Based on the present results, i.e., significant effects of CYP2D6 genotypes on the Css of haloperidol and reduced haloperidol, analyses were separately performed in two groups, i.e., patients with 0 mutated allele of the CYP2D6 (41 cases) and those with 1 or 2 mutated alleles (60 cases). Subjects in each CYP2D6 genotype group consisted of 4 subgroups according to smoking habit and the presence of the mutated allele of the CYP1A2. Neither the Css of haloperidol nor that of reduced haloperidol significantly differed among the 4 subgroups in either CYP2D6 genotype group. The present study thus suggests that the CYP1A2 activity does not play an important role in controlling the Css of haloperidol or reduced haloperidol.

Abstract
Haloperidol is commonly used in the therapy of patients with acute and chronic schizophrenia. The enzymes involved in the biotransformation of haloperidol include cytochrome P450 (CYP), carbonyl reductase and uridine diphosphoglucose glucuronosyltransferase. The greatest proportion of the intrinsic hepatic clearance of haloperidol is by glucuronidation, followed by the reduction of haloperidol to reduced haloperidol and by CYP-mediated oxidation. In studies of CYP-mediated disposition in vitro, CYP3A4 appears to be the major isoform responsible for the metabolism of haloperidol in humans. The intrinsic clearances of the back-oxidation of reduced haloperidol to the parent compound, oxidative N-dealkylation and pyridinium formation are of the same order of magnitude, suggesting that the same enzyme system is responsible for the 3 reactions. Large variation in the catalytic activity was observed in the CYP-mediated reactions, whereas there appeared to be only small variations in the glucuronidation and carbonyl reduction pathways. Haloperidol is a substrate of CYP3A4 and an inhibitor, as well as a stimulator, of CYP2D6. Reduced haloperidol is also a substrate of CYP3A4 and inhibitor of CYP2D6. Pharmacokinetic interactions occur between haloperidol and various drugs given concomitantly, for example, carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, nefazodone, venlafaxine, buspirone, alprazolam, rifampicin (rifampin), quinidine and carteolol. Overall, drug interaction studies have suggested that CYP3A4 is involved in the biotransformation of haloperidol in humans. Interactions of haloperidol with most drugs lead to only small changes in plasma haloperidol concentrations, suggesting that the interactions have little clinical significance. On the other hand, the coadministration of carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, rifampicin or quinidine affects the pharmacokinetics of haloperidol to an extent that alterations in clinical consequences would be expected. In vivo pharmacogenetic studies have indicated that the metabolism and disposition of haloperidol may be regulated by genetically determined polymorphic CYP2D6 activity. However, these findings appear to contradict those from studies in vitro with human liver microsomes and from studies of drug interactions in vivo. Interethnic and pharmacogenetic differences in haloperidol metabolism may explain these observations.
