Abstract
Primary psychogenic polydipsia (PPD) is a chronic, relapsing condition in which there is a disturbance in thirst control primarily due to an underlying disorder such as a psychogenic condition. It is characterized by an increase of fluid intake along with excretion of excessive amounts of dilute urine exceeding 40 to 50 mL/kg of body weight. PPD is typically seen in patients with schizophrenic symptoms due to elevated levels of dopamine that stimulate the thirst center or in patients with a psychiatric history receiving anticholinergic drugs. There are many reported cases of PPD related to an underlying schizophrenia disorder, but rarely is PPD seen in bipolar patients. We herein report a case of recurrent mania in a patient from a community hospital, who presented with chronic hyponatremia due to PPD. The patient had a history of bipolar disorder type 1 and was admitted to the hospital four times within three weeks with hyponatremia and presenting symptoms of mood lability, psychomotor agitation, pressured speech, racing thoughts, sleeping disturbances, distractibility, and inflated self-esteem. These were the same circumstances and manic presentation in her subsequent medical admissions. Due to her repeat manic presentation and consistently low sodium levels, we believe that her manic symptoms were a result of hyponatremia due to PPD. This patient serves as a unique case wherein switching medications and treating with oral sodium chloride did not prevent the manic episodes as she continues to become hyponatremic secondary to PPD. Due to the difficulty in managing and diagnosing a patient like this, case studies are helpful in studying treatment and maintenance for future cases.

Abstract
Falls is a frequent type of adverse drug reactions causing significant morbidity and mortality in the elderly. We reviewed, with which drugs the risk of falls is relevant and might depend on genomic variation. Pharmacogenetic variability may contribute to drug-induced falls for instance mediated by impaired drug elimination due to inherited deficiency in enzymes like CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6. The relative role of specific genes and polymorphisms in old age may differ from younger people. Biomarkers for frailty, but also genomic biomarkers might help identifying patients at high risk for drug-induced falls. Many other factors including disease and drug-drug interactions also contribute to risk of falls. Further studies analyzing the impact of genomic variation on the medication-related fall risk in the older adult are urgently needed.

Abstract
Haloperidol (HP) is widely used in the treatment of several forms of psychosis. Despite of its efficacy, HP use is a cause of concern for the elevated risk of adverse drug reactions. adverse drug reactions risk and HP efficacy greatly vary across subjects, indicating the involvement of several factors in HP mechanism of action. The use of biomarkers that could monitor or even predict HP treatment impact would be of extreme importance. We reviewed the elements that could potentially be used as peripheral biomarkers of HP effectiveness. Although a validated biomarker still does not exist, we underlined the several potential findings (e.g., about cytokines, HP metabolites and genotypic biomarkers) which could pave the way for future research on HP biomarkers.

Abstract
1. We aimed to investigate the regulatory effects of Guanxinning injection (GXNI) on activities of cytochrome P1A2 (CYP1A2), CYP2C11, CYP2D1 and CYP3A1/2 by probe drugs in rats in vivo and in vitro. 2. GXNI-treated and blank control groups were administered GXNI and physiological saline by caudal vein for 14 days consecutively, then they were given the probe drugs of caffeine (10 mg/kg), tolbutamide (10 mg/kg), metoprolol (20 mg/kg) and dapsone (10 mg/kg) by intraperitoneal injection. The blood samples were collected at different times for ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) analysis. Changes of the pharmacokinetics parameters between the GXNI-treated and the blank control groups were used to evaluate the effects of GXNI on the four CYP450 isoforms in rats in vivo. After blood collection, the livers of rats were taken and made microsomes for in vitro tests. The relevant metabolites of phenacetin, tolbutamide, dextromethorphan and testosterone were analyzed quantitatively by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) after microsome incubation. The statistical differences between the two groups were observed to detect the effects of GXNI on the four CYP450 isoforms in rats in vitro. 3. The in vivo and in vitro results demonstrated that GXNI could induce CYP1A2 activity in rats, but had no significant effects on CYP2C11, CYP2D1 and CYP3A1/2.

Abstract
This case report highlights the importance of pharmacogenetic testing in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD). A 6-year-old boy diagnosed with ADHD was prescribed methylphenidate 5 mg twice daily (7 am and noon) and the family was compliant with administration of this medication. On the first day of treatment, the patient had an adverse reaction, becoming disobedient, more mischievous, erratic, resistant to discipline, would not go to sleep until midnight, and had a poor appetite. The All-In-One PGX (All-In-One Pharmacogenetics for Antipsychotics test for CYP2D6, CYP2C19, and CYP2C9) was performed using microarray-based and real-time polymerase chain reaction techniques. The genotype of our patient was identified to be CYP2D6*2/*10, with isoforms of the enzyme consistent with a predicted cytochrome P450 2D6 intermediate metabolizer phenotype. Consequently, the physician adjusted the methylphenidate dose to 2.5 mg once daily in the morning. At this dosage, the patient had a good response without any further adverse reactions. Pharmacogenetic testing should be included in the management plan for ADHD. In this case, cooperation between the medical team and the patients’ relatives was key to successful treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The search for drugs that reduce psychotic symptoms, with minimal adverse effects, has led to the development of new agents that act somewhat differently from their older antipsychotic counterparts. These agents, which include aripiprazole, lurasidone and perospirone, act by targeting both D₂ and 5-HT(1A) receptors, in addition to other characteristic receptors. AREAS COVERED This article covers the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of aripiprazole, perospirone, lurasidone and cariprazine. The review also describes the effects of physiological and pathological variables on these drugs as well as potential drug interactions. The author provides the reader with knowledge of the fundamental pharmacokinetic characteristics and metabolic pathways of these new antipsychotics, emphasizing the clinically important common features and differences compared to other older agents. EXPERT OPINION Aripiprazole, perospirone, lurasidone and cariprazine share some of the pharmacokinetic characteristics of older, lipophilic antipsychotics and, like these, each has some distinct pharmacokinetic features that are clinically beneficial and some that are not. We await the results of future practical effectiveness trials of these new antipsychotics and their follow-on derivatives to learn more about their benefit/risk profile compared with established antipsychotics. It is hoped that some of these newer antipsychotics will not only increase the range of pharmacotherapeutic options, but decisively improve the expectations of psychotherapy for schizophrenia.

Abstract
Evidence has emerged that the clinical benefit of tamoxifen is related to the functional status of the hepatic metabolizing enzyme cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6). CYP2D6 is the key enzyme responsible for the generation of the potent tamoxifen metabolite, endoxifen. Multiple studies have examined the relationship of CYP2D6 status to breast cancer outcomes in tamoxifen-treated women; the majority of studies demonstrated that women with impaired CYP2D6 metabolism have lower endoxifen concentrations and a greater risk of breast cancer recurrence. As a result, practitioners must be aware that some of the most commonly prescribed medications coadministered with tamoxifen interfere with CYP2D6 function, thereby reducing endoxifen concentrations and potentially increasing the risk of breast cancer recurrence. After reviewing the published data regarding tamoxifen metabolism and the evidence relating CYP2D6 status to breast cancer outcomes in tamoxifen-treated patients, we are providing a guide for the use of medications that inhibit CYP2D6 in patients administered tamoxifen.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Prescribers are warned to be vigilant for potential cytochrome P450 mediated drug interactions; guidelines separately highlight risks of toxicity associated with zuclopenthixol acuphase. We previously examined potential cytochrome P450 interactions with zuclopenthixol and here describe dangerous side effects in a patient receiving zuclopenthixol acuphase and the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine at high dose. METHOD We present the case of a patient established on fluoxetine 80 mg/day who subsequently received injected zuclopenthixol acuphase 100 mg. RESULTS Following zuclopenthixol acuphase administration, dangerous extra-pyramidal side effects were observed, including severe laryngeal dystonia necessitating emergency medical treatment. CONCLUSIONS Our observations of symptoms of zuclopenthixol toxicity are consistent with a cytochrome P450 2D6/3A4 interaction with fluoxetine. Previous evidence demonstrating this interaction included only patients taking fluoxetine up to 60 mg/day. This case extends the evidence base. In patients taking high dose fluoxetine, we advise marked reductions in the prescribed dose of zuclopenthixol acuphase.

Abstract
In order to ascertain data availability and feasibility for conducting cost–effectiveness studies in pharmacogenetics, and as part of a European Commission Joint Research Center, Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (JRC-IPTS) study, data concerning risperidone use and cytochrome P450 (CYP2D6) genotyping in medical care was collected in Germany, Spain and the USA, and are summarized in this perspective. The gene coding for CYP2D6 is highly polymorphic, resulting in a significant part of the population being poor metabolizers and ultrarapid metabolizers. Individuals who are CYP2D6 poor metabolizers, have an increased risk of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) when treated with CYP2D6-metabolized drugs, suggesting that CYP2D6 genotyping might be beneficial for patient care. This might be especially important in psychiatry, where approximately 50% of the patients use at least one drug primarily metabolized by CYP2D6. In particular, ADRs and poor response to treatment are major problems for some antipsychotics, including risperidone. However, there are no published cost–effectiveness studies on CYP2D6 genotyping, and the benefit that pharmacogenetic testing might represent by identifying problematic patients is still unclear. The present European Commission study found that current clinical and economical data concerning the frequency and direct healthcare costs of risperidone-related ADRs, the relation of such ADRs with the patients CYP2D6 genotypes, and costs for CYP2D6 genotyping, are not sufficient for determining if routine CYP2D6 genotyping might be cost beneficial for patients treated with risperidone. Therefore, efforts should be put on performing prospective cost–benefit studies with randomized treatment according to the CYP2D6 genotype to establish the utility of CYP2D6 genotyping for personalizing antipsychotic treatment.

Abstract
Manifestation of tardive dyskinesia (TD) among schizophrenia subjects on long-term antipsychotic treatment with typical drugs has been a clinical concern. Despite its association with extrapyramidal symptoms, typical drugs are still routinely prescribed globally though marginally superior atypical drugs have long been available. The genetic component in the etiology of TD is well documented. Search for these determinants has led to a few consensus associations of CYP2D6 *10, CYP1A2*1F, DRD2 Taq1A (rs1800497), DRD3 Ser9Gly (rs6280) and MnSOD Ala9Val (rs4880) variants with TD. However, translation of these observations into the clinic has not been achieved so far. This review discusses the salient features of TD etiopathology, current status of TD genetics, interactions between genetic and nongenetic factors, some major drawbacks, challenges and expected focus in TD research over the next decade, with emphasis on pharmacogenetics.

Abstract
The CYP2D6 gene is highly polymorphic, causing absent (poor metabolizers), decreased, normal or increased enzyme activity (extensive and ultrarapid metabolizers). The genetic polymorphism of the CYP2D6 influences plasma concentration of a wide variety of drugs metabolized in the liver by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 enzyme, including antipsychotic drugs used for schizophrenia treatment. Additionally, CYP2D6 is involved in the metabolism of endogenous substrates in the brain, and reported to be located in regions such as the cortex, hippocampus and cerebellum, which are impaired in schizophrenia. Moreover, recently we have found that CYP2D6 poor metabolizers are under-represented in a case-control association study of schizophrenia. Furthermore, null CYP2D6 activity in healthy volunteers is associated with personality characteristics of social cognitive anxiety, which may bear some resemblance to milder forms of psychotic-like symptoms. In keeping with this, CYP2D6 may influence, not only variability to drug response, but also vulnerability to disease in schizophrenia patients.

Abstract
CYP1A2 is an important inducible enzyme involved in the metabolism of antipsychotics. This study examined two functional polymorphisms in the gene as potential markers in predicting prolongation of QTc interval in patients treated with antipsychotics. QT intervals were measured by 12-lead electrocardiography (ECG) for patients with a DSM-IV diagnosis of schizophrenia. Genomic DNA extracted from venous blood were genotyped for the two polymorphisms by PCR-RFLP. Statistically significant result for CYP1A2(*)1F was noted for all patients receiving chlorpromazine equivalent doses of above 300 mg and also for a further subgroup on antipsychotics known to be CYP1A2 substrates (p=0.007, mean QTc in ms for A/A: 395.5+/-15.1, A/C: 425.7+/-25.1, C/C: 427.3+/-20.7). For CYP1A2(*)1C, there was no statistically significant association between genotypes and mean QTc interval. Overall, there was a trend of those with the C allele of the CYP1A2(*)1F polymorphism having longer QTc intervals. The results of this study suggest that the CYP1A2(*)1F polymorphism may contribute to the risk of developing prolonged QT-interval in patients who are treated with higher doses of antipsychotics.

Abstract
It is now accepted that patients with epilepsy are more prone than the general population to develop psychiatric disorders, being significantly at risk due to psychosocial reasons, the presence of electrophysiologic and anatomopathologic abnormalities mainly in the limbic system, and because they are taking antiepileptic drugs which may have negative psychotropic effects. It is also known that many patients with epilepsy sometimes receive psychotropic medications on account of their psychiatric symptoms. This review focuses on the main problems that a clinician may encompass when treating psychiatric disorders in patients with epilepsy. On one hand, the effects of antiepileptic drugs on mood and behavior for a correct differential diagnosis of psychiatric symptoms. On the other hand, the main factors that may affect choice of therapy, patients' response and compliance, when prescribing antidepressants or antipsychotic drugs, drug interactions and the potential proconvulsive risk are reviewed.

Abstract
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and pharmacogenetic tests play a major role in minimising adverse drug reactions and enhancing optimal therapeutic response. The response to medication varies greatly between individuals, according to genetic constitution, age, sex, co-morbidities, environmental factors including diet and lifestyle (e.g. smoking and alcohol intake), and drug-related factors such as pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic drug-drug interactions. Most adverse drug reactions are type A reactions, i.e. plasma-level dependent, and represent one of the major causes of hospitalisation, in some cases leading to death. However, they may be avoidable to some extent if pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenetic factors are taken into consideration. This article provides a review of the literature and describes how to apply and interpret TDM and certain pharmacogenetic tests and is illustrated by case reports. An algorithm on the use of TDM and pharmacogenetic tests to help characterise adverse drug reactions is also presented. Although, in the scientific community, differences in drug response are increasingly recognised, there is an urgent need to translate this knowledge into clinical recommendations. Databases on drug-drug interactions and the impact of pharmacogenetic polymorphisms and adverse drug reaction information systems will be helpful to guide clinicians in individualised treatment choices.

Abstract
PURPOSE This retrospective follow-up study investigates whether cytochrome P450-2D6 (CYP2D6) genotype explains variability in plasma concentrations of psychotropic drugs in daily psychiatric practice. METHODS The study population consisted of 62 hospitalised psychiatric patients genotyped for CYP2D6. Primary endpoint was the normalised plasma concentration ratio which was defined as the [measured concentration]/[mean therapeutic concentration] allowing comparison of plasma concentrations of different substrates. Secondary endpoint was a plasma concentration above the therapeutic range. The determinant was CYP2D6 genotype classified as ultrarapid metaboliser (UM), extensive metaboliser (EM), intermediate metaboliser (IM), or poor metaboliser (PM). The relation between CYP2D6 genotype and the normalised plasma concentration ratio was assessed with a linear mixed-effects model after adjustment for the Prescribed Daily Dose (PDD). The risk of having a plasma concentration above the therapeutic range was assessed with a logistic mixed-effects model. RESULTS For antidepressants, CYP2D6 genotype PM (1.68 (95%CI: 1.01-2.28)) and IM (1.09 (95%CI: 0.77-1.29)) were associated with higher normalised plasma concentration ratios of antidepressants compared to EMs (0.56 (95%CI: 0.26-0.74)). In addition, the risk of a plasma concentration above the therapeutic range was increased for PMs (OR 33.1 (95%CI: 2.0-544.6)) and IMs (OR 8.2 (95%CI: 1.1-60.3)) relative to EMs using antidepressants. CYP2D6 genotype could not clearly explain variability in plasma concentrations of antipsychotics possibly due to a low frequency of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in antipsychotics primarily metabolised by CYP2D6 in daily psychiatric practice. CONCLUSIONS CYP2D6 genotype contributes to clinically relevant variability in plasma concentrations of antidepressants but probably not antipsychotics in daily clinical practice.

Abstract
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of psychotropic drugs such as antidepressants has been widely introduced for optimization of pharmacotherapy in psychiatric patients. The interdisciplinary TDM group of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Neuropsychopharmakologie und Pharmakopsychiatrie (AGNP) has worked out consensus guidelines with the aim of providing psychiatrists and TDM laboratories with a tool to optimize the use of TDM. Five research-based levels of recommendation were defined with regard to routine monitoring of drug plasma concentrations: (i) strongly recommended; (ii) recommended; (iii) useful; (iv) probably useful; and (v) not recommended. In addition, a list of indications that justify the use of TDM is presented, eg, control of compliance, lack of clinical response or adverse effects at recommended doses, drug interactions, pharmacovigilance programs, presence of a genetic particularity concerning drug metabolism, and children, adolescents, and elderly patients. For some drugs, studies on therapeutic ranges are lacking, but target ranges for clinically relevant plasma concentrations are presented for most drugs, based on pharmacokinetic studies reported in the literature. For many antidepressants, a thorough analysis of the literature on studies dealing with the plasma concentration-clinical effectiveness relationship allowed inclusion of therapeutic ranges of plasma concentrations. In addition, recommendations are made with regard to the combination of pharmacogenetic (phenotyping or genotyping) tests with TDM. Finally, practical instructions are given for the laboratory practitioners and the treating physicians how to use TDM: preparation of TDM, drug analysis, reporting and interpretation of results, and adequate use of information for patient treatment TDM is a complex process that needs optimal interdisciplinary coordination of a procedure implicating patients, treating physicians, clinical pharmacologists, and clinical laboratory specialists. These consensus guidelines should be helpful for optimizing TDM of antidepressants.

Abstract
Several clinical studies implicated oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of both psychosis and dementia. As dementia is commonly associated with psychosis, antipsychotic medications are of importance in the pharmacotherapy of dementia particularly as a number of antipsychotics were reported to demonstrate neuronal pro-oxidant and/or antioxidant properties. Impairment of learning and memory, as the most characteristic manifestation of dementia, could be induced in experimental animals by acute administration of scopolamine (SCO) with a resultant elevation in brain oxidative status. This study investigated the potential pro-oxidant and/or antioxidant activity of the antipsychotic drug zuclopenthixol acetate, as its effect on brain oxidative status has yet to be evaluated. A 2 x 3 between-subjects factorial design was used to investigate the simultaneous and interactive effects of zuclopenthixol (0.7 and 1.4 mg/kg i.p.) and SCO on rat brain malondialdehyde, glutathione, glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase levels/activities. Results revealed a significant pro-oxidant effect for both zuclopenthixol and SCO alone conditions. In addition, combined treatment of zuclopenthixol and SCO was found to be significantly different compared to either treatment conditions with regard to their effect on different brain oxidative stress indices. Such findings may have valuable implications in the pharmacotherapy of both psychosis and dementia.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the effects of donepezil at steady state on the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of a single dose of thioridazine, in healthy subjects. METHODS An open, two-way, balanced crossover study, in 12 subjects (six men and six women) aged 19-41 years. During both treatment periods, subjects received a single oral dose of 50 mg thioridazine; in one period the thioridazine was given alone, and in the other period it was given together with the last of 15 daily, oral doses of donepezil 5 mg. The 'washout' periods were 1 week when thioridazine was given first, and 2 weeks when thioridazine was given last. Plasma concentrations of thioridazine were measured after each dose, and pharmacokinetic parameters were determined. Interactions were tested by using an equivalence analysis in which thioridazine was the 'Reference' and thioridazine + donepezil the 'Test' regimen. Safety and tolerability were monitored. RESULTS Donepezil had no marked effect on the pharmacokinetics of thioridazine, as judged by the equivalence analysis of AUC(0-tn), AUC(0-infinity), t((1/2)) and t(max). C(max) was very similar in the 'Test' and 'Reference' regimens, but the confidence intervals were too wide to confirm equivalence. Donepezil was well tolerated, whereas thioridazine was associated with light-headedness, tiredness and postural hypotension, irrespective of whether or not donepezil was given concurrently. CONCLUSIONS Repeated dosing with donepezil, 5 mg daily for 2 weeks, had no significant effect on the safety, tolerability or pharmacokinetics of thioridazine. Thioridazine was poorly tolerated.

Abstract
Drug-induced torsade de pointes (TdP) has proved to be a significant iatro-genic cause of morbidity and mortality and a major reason for the withdrawal of a number of drugs from the market in recent times. Enzymes that metabolise many of these drugs and the potassium channels that are responsible for cardiac repolarisation display genetic polymorphisms. Anecdotal reports have suggested that in many cases of drug-induced TdP, there may be a concealed genetic defect of either these enzymes or the potassium channels, giving rise to either high plasma drug concentrations or diminished cardiac repolarisation reserve, respectively. The presence of either of these genetic defects may predispose a patient to TdP, a potentially fatal adverse reaction, even at therapeutic dosages of QT-prolonging drugs and in the absence of other risk factors. Advances in pharmacogenetics of drug metabolising enzymes and pharmacological targets, together with the prospects of rapid and inexpensive genotyping procedures, promise to individualise and improve the benefit/risk ratio of therapy with drugs that have the potential to cause TdP. The qualitative and the quantitative contributions of these genetic defects in clinical cases of TdP are unclear because not all of the patients with TdP are routinely genotyped and some relevant genetic mutations still remain to be discovered. There are regulatory guidelines that recommend strategies aimed at uncovering the risk of TdP associated with new chemical entities during their development. There are also a number of guidelines that recommend integrating pharmacogenetics in this process. This paper proposes a strategy for integrating pharmacogenetics into drug development programmes to optimise association studies correlating genetic traits and endpoints of clinical interest, namely failure of efficacy or development of repolarisation abnormalities. Until pharmacogenetics is carefully integrated into all phases of development of QT-prolonging drugs and large-scale studies are undertaken during their post-marketing use to determine the genetic components involved in induction of TdP, routine genotyping of patients remains unrealistic. Even without this pharmacogenetic data, the clinical risk of TdP can already be greatly minimised. Clinically, a substantial proportion of cases of TdP are due to the use of either high or usual dosages of drugs with potential to cause TdP in the presence of factors that inhibit drug metabolism. Therefore, choosing the lowest effective dose and identifying patients with these non-genetic risk factors are important means of minimising the risk of TdP. In view of the common secondary pharmacology shared by these drugs, a standard set of contraindications and warnings have evolved over the last decade. These include factors responsible for pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic drug interactions. Among the latter, the more important ones are bradycardia, electrolyte imbalance, cardiac disease and co-administration of two or more QT-prolonging drugs. In principle, if large scale prospective studies can demonstrate a substantial genetic component, pharmacogenetically driven prescribing ought to reduce the risk further. However, any potential benefits of pharmacogenetics will be squandered without any reduction in the clinical risk of TdP if physicians do not follow prescribing and monitoring recommendations.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN This is a structured review of genomic (genetic) testing for enzymes of drug metabolism. OBJECTIVES Recently, industry began offering genomic testing for enzymes of drug metabolism. As such, the objective of this review was to determine if genomic testing for enzymes of drug metabolism has any imminent clinical relevance for the practice of pain medicine. METHODS Relevant references relating to pharmacogenetics, pharmacogenomics, and the metabolizing of drugs used in pain medicine by cytochrome P-450 enzymes were located and reviewed in detail. The P-450 enzymes that metabolize each drug and whether that drug had been identified as being subject to a clinical consequence of a genetic polymorphism of the P-450 enzyme involved in its metabolism were placed into tabular form. RESULTS OF DATA SYNTHESIS 1) For a large number of drugs, we do not yet know which cytochrome P-450 enzymes are involved in their metabolism; 2) For a large number of drugs, the consequences of a P-450 genetic polymorphism have yet to be determined; 3) Genetic polymorphism can lead to important potential clinical consequences for some opioids, anticonvulsants (phenytoin), benzodiazepines (diazepam), muscle relaxants (succinylcholine), antidepressants (imipramine, nortriptyline, venlafaxine), typical neuroleptics, alcohol, antihypertensives (propranolol, timolol), local anesthetics (procainamide), L-dopa, nicotine, and warfarin. Based on these results, factors for and against using genomic testing were reviewed. CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS It was concluded that genomic testing for enzymes of drug metabolism has significant potential for improving the efficacy of drug treatment and reducing adverse drug reactions. Recommendations for when such testing would be useful are outlined.

Abstract
The effects of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 genotype and cigarette smoking on the steady-state plasma concentrations (C(ss)) of fluvoxamine (FLV) and its demethylated metabolite fluvoxamino acid (FLA) were studied in 49 Japanese depressed patients receiving FLV 200 mg/d. The C(ss) of FLV and FLA were measured by HPLC, and the wild-type allele (*1) and two mutated alleles causing absent (*5) or decreased (*10) CYP 2D6 activity were identified by PCR methods. The patients were divided into three genotype groups by the number of mutated alleles: 12 cases with no (*1/*1), 27 cases with one (*1/*5 and *1/*10), and 10 cases with two (*5/*10 and *10/*10) mutated alleles. The means +/- SD of the C(ss) of FLV and FLA and the FLA/FLV ratio of all patients were 169.1 +/- 147.5 ng/mL, 83.9 +/- 52.7 ng/mL, and 0.71 +/- 0.50, respectively. The C(ss) of FLV and FLA were not significantly different among the three genotype groups. However, the FLA/FLV ratio was significantly lower in the patients with one (P < 0.05) and two (P < 0.01) mutated alleles than in those with no mutated allele. There was no significant difference between nonsmokers (n = 34) and smokers (n = 15) in these values. In the stepwise multiple regression, the C(ss) of FLA (P < 0.05) and FLA/FLV ratio (P < 0.001) showed significant negative correlations with the number of mutated alleles, and the FLA/FLV ratio was significantly (P < 0.05) lower in women than in men. The present study suggests that the CYP 2D6 genotype and cigarette smoking have no major impact on the C(ss) of FLV and FLA, though CYP 2D6 is involved in the demethylation of FLV.

Abstract
The CYP2D6 gene codes for human cytochrome P450 2D6 enzyme, which is responsible for the metabolism of many psychiatric drugs. In schizophrenic patients treated with neuroleptics, decreased or loss of function CYP2D6 alleles may contribute to the development of tardive dyskinesia (TD), a movement disorder that frequently occurs with chronic neuroleptic treatment. The goal of this study was to determine whether the occurrence of TD is associated with CYP2D6 genotype in a cohort of Korean schizophrenics by employing a CYP450 GeneChip((R)) oligonucleotide microarray and PCR assays to screen for 19 CYP2D6 alleles. Our results revealed that males with at least one decreased or loss of function allele have a moderately greater chance of developing TD than males with only wild-type alleles. Female schizophrenics did not have a significantly greater chance of developing TD. Our results demonstrate the utility of CYP2D6 microarrays to assess genotype status in this Korean cohort.

Abstract
Olanzapine has previously been shown to have predominant metabolism by cytochrome (CYP) P450 1A2. Caffeine has been shown to provide an accurate phenotypic probe for measuring CYP1A2 activity. The purpose of this study is to determine if a significant correlation exists between olanzapine disposition and caffeine metabolic ratios. Subjects were phenotyped for CYP1A2 activity with caffeine probe methodology. After 200-mg caffeine administration, blood (4 h), saliva (6 and 10 h), and urine (8 h total) were collected for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of caffeine and its metabolites.CYP1A2 activity was measured as plasma (PMR(4 h)), saliva (SMR(6 h) and SMR(10 h)), and three urinary metabolic (UMR1(8 h), UMR2(8 h), and UMR3(8 h)) ratios. Each of the 14 healthy nonsmokers (13 male) received a single 10 mg olanzapine dose after which blood was collected for HPLC determination of olanzapine concentrations at predose and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 h postdose. Olanzapine pharmacokinetic parameters in this study were similar to those previously published. All caffeine metabolic ratios (PMR(4 h), SMR(6 h), SMR(10 h), UMR1(8 h), and UMR2(8 h)) significantly correlated with each other (p <0.001) except for UMR3(8 h), which did not correlate. A significant correlation (p <0.05) was also found between olanzapine clearance and PMR(4 h) (r=0.701), SMR(6 h) (r=0.644), SMR(10 h) (r=0.701), UMR1(8 h) (r=0.745), and UMR2(8 h) (r=0.710). A negative correlation was observed between olanzapine clearance and UMR3(8 h) (r=-0.029, p=NS). A significant correlation was found between olanzapine clearance and various caffeine metabolic ratios. Interpatient variability in CYP1A2 activity may explain the wide interpatient variability in olanzapine disposition. Compounds that modulate CYP1A2 activity may be expected to alter olanzapine pharmacokinetics accordingly.

Abstract
Drug treatment of psychiatric disorders is troubled by severe adverse effects, low compliance and lack of efficacy in about 30% of patients. Pharmacogenetic research in psychiatry aims to elucidate the reasons for treatment failure and adverse reactions. Genetic variations in cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes have the potential to directly influence the efficacy and tolerability of commonly used antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs. The activity of psychiatric drugs can also be influenced by genetic alterations affecting the drug target molecule. These include the dopaminergic and serotonergic receptors, neurotransmitter transporters and other receptors and enzymes involved in psychiatric disorders. Association studies investigating the relation between genetic polymorphisms in metabolic enzymes and neurotransmitter receptors on psychiatric treatment outcome provide a step towards the individualization of psychiatric treatment through enabling the selection of the most beneficial drug according to the individual's genetic background.

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
To study the association between polymorphism of the cytochrome P450 2D6 gene (CYP2D6) and the risk of antipsychotic-induced extrapyramidal syndromes, as measured by the use of antiparkinsonian medication. Data for this case-control study were obtained from a psychiatric hospital where newly admitted patients are routinely screened for several CYP2D6 mutant alleles. Cases were patients prescribed antiparkinsonian medication during oral antipsychotic drug treatment in the period September 1994 to August 2000. They were divided into those using an antipsychotic drug the metabolic elimination of which depends on the activity of the CYP2D6 enzyme ('CYP2D6-dependent') and those using other antipsychotic drugs. We formed a control group of antipsychotic drug users for both case groups using a matching ratio of 3 : 1 (controls : cases). Control patients were matched on whether or not their prescribed antipsychotic drug was CYP2D6-dependent. Odds ratios for patients who were slow metabolizers versus patients who were extensive metabolizers were calculated using conditional logistic regression and were adjusted for age, gender, dose and other potential confounding factors. We identified 77 case patients who were prescribed a CYP2D6-dependent antipsychotic drug and 54 case patients who were prescribed non CYP2D6-dependent antipsychotic drugs. Among the case- and control-patients using a CYP2D6-dependent antipsychotic drug, the poor metabolizers were more than four times more likely to start with antiparkinsonian medication than the extensive metabolizers (odds ratio 4.44; 95% confidence interval 1.11-17.68). An increased risk was not observed for patients using non CYP2D6-dependent antipsychotic drugs (odds ratio 1.20; 95% confidence interval 0.21-6.79). Genetically impaired CYP2D6 activity can increase the risk of antipsychotic-induced extrapyrimidal syndromes. Poor metabolizers should have their antipsychotic drug dosage reduced when the metabolism of the prescribed drug depends on CYP2D6 activity or should receive an antipsychotic drug that is not CYP2D6-dependent.

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 advent of the newer "atypical" antipsychotics has revolutionized pharmacologic treatment of schizophrenia (SZ) and other psychotic disorders. In contrast to the first-generation conventional neuroleptics, these second-generation antipsychotic agents possess a broader spectrum of efficacy and cause fewer motor side effects such as extrapyramidal symptoms and tardive dyskinesia. Despite their substantial advantages, however, these second-generation agents also have significant limitations in terms of both efficacy and adverse effects. Several strategies to address these shortcomings are currently under study and some of these are likely to become part of our therapeutic armamentarium in the future. Current shortcomings in the pharmacologic treatment of SZ and strategies under investigation to address each of these deficiencies are reviewed. New formulations of existing medications and new antipsychotics under development are discussed. Developing adjunctive treatment strategies to address each of the major psychopathologic domains in SZ are summarized. The potential application of genetic information to treatment-matching in SZ is reviewed and likely refinements in the practice of evidence-based medicine in the pharmacotherapy of SZ are considered.

Abstract
Treatment-refractory schizophrenia is common. Refinements in pharmacologic and psychosocial treatments of schizophrenia offer the expectation of superior outcomes for this disadvantaged patient group. This article critically reviews those articles that were published during the year 2000 that address this treatment-refractory population.

Abstract
Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia can occur in 60-80% of patients with Alzheimer's disease or other dementing illnesses, and are important in that they are a source of significant caregiver stress and often precipitate nursing home placement. These symptoms, namely, aggression, delusions, hallucinations, apathy, anxiety, and depression, are clinically managed with a variety of psychotropic drugs such as antipsychotics, antidepressants, antiepileptic drugs, and benzodiazepines. Various advances in the neuropathophysiology and pharmacotherapy must be considered in the optimal design of regimens for patients with these symptoms.

Abstract
The polymorphic isoenzyme CYP2D6 has a major role in the oxidative metabolism of many deal of psychoactive drugs. Its six mutant alleles (null alleles *3, *4, *5, *6, *7 and *8) encode for inactive enzyme molecules. A carrier of two mutant alleles is considered a poor metabolizer phenotype, while a carrier of only one damaged allele is considered an intermediate metabolizer phenotype. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of null alleles in a group of psychiatric patients suffering from depression (n=49) and schizophrenia (n=86) in comparison with healthy individuals (n=145) by the method of multiplex allele specific PCR. Only CYP2D6*3,*4 and *6 mutant alleles were found in the study subjects. No significant difference between the depression and control groups was found for allele prevalence, genotype or phenotype distribution (p>0.05). However, a significant difference was observed between schizophrenic patients and controls for allele frequency (p=0.002), genotype distribution (p=0.016), and phenotype prevalence (p=0.018). The odds ratio of 2.542 for 2D6*4 suggested a significant association between this allele and schizophrenia, significantly contributing to poor metabolizer phenotype (odds ratio=5.020). The relationship between CYP2D6 gene polymorphism and side effects in schizophrenic patients undergoing long-term psychoactive drug therapy was investigated. A significant difference was obtained for allele prevalence (p=0.002), genotype (p=0.029), and phenotype (p=0.002) distribution between patients without and with side effects. A relative risk of 2.626 and 5.333 for 2D6*4 and 2D6*6, respectively, and of 7.08 for poor metabolizer phenotype suggested a significant association between the hereditary susceptibility for a particular type of drug metabolism (defect alleles) and side effects. These preliminary results suggest that the CYP2D6 genotyping appears to be useful for predicting risks for side effects of psychoactive drugs in schizophrenic patients, but their usefulness should be further explored.
