Abstract
Objectives Bioequivalence studies provide evidence that generic drugs can produce the same blood levels as the innovator, suggesting similar efficacy and safety and indicating interchangeability without the need to titrate dosing. This study aimed to compare the rate and extent of absorption of two simvastatin 20 mg tablets of Pascual Laboratories, Inc. with two Zocor 20 mg tablets of Merck Sharp & Dohme (I.A.) Corp. in healthy Filipinos. The study also monitored the safety and tolerability of the medications, under the same conditions. Proof of bioequivalence is required by FDA Philippines to establish the interchangeability of generic products and their innovators. Methods Twenty-four healthy participants were administered with a single oral dose of two 20 mg simvastatin tablets under fasting conditions, in a randomized, open-label, blind-endpoint analysis, two-way crossover study, with a washout period of one week. Pharmacokinetic blood sampling was done up to 24 h post-dose. Simvastatin was measured using Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry with a validated method. The geometric mean ratios for maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the plasma-concentration-time curve from time zero to the last observed concentration at time 24 h (AUC0-24) were used for bioequivalence. Results All 24 participants, 12 males and 12 females, completed the study. Mean age was 24.21 years, mean weight was 58.81 kg, and mean BMI was 23.16 kg/m2. The ratios of Cmax and AUC0-24 were 102.17% (90% CI: 89.19-117.03), and 101.29% (90% CI: 86.87-118.10), respectively, and were both within the bioequivalence limits of 80% to 125%. No adverse event was reported and both formulations were well-tolerated. Conclusion Simvastatin 20 mg tablet of Pascual Laboratories, Inc. and the innovator Zocor 20 mg tablet are bioequivalent. Single two-tablet doses of both products are safe and well tolerated.

Genes (Basel) 2023; 14:2057. [PMID: 38003001 PMCID: PMC10671139 DOI: 10.3390/genes14112057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2023] [Revised: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Advances in pharmacogenomics have paved the way for personalized medicine. Cardiovascular diseases still represent the leading cause of mortality in the world. The aim of this review is to summarize the background, rationale, and evidence of pharmacogenomics in cardiovascular medicine, in particular, the use of antiplatelet drugs, anticoagulants, and drugs used for the treatment of dyslipidemia. RECENT FINDINGS Randomized clinical trials have supported the role of a genotype-guided approach for antiplatelet therapy in patients with coronary heart disease undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions. Numerous studies demonstrate how the risk of ineffectiveness of new oral anticoagulants and vitamin K anticoagulants is linked to various genetic polymorphisms. Furthermore, there is growing evidence to support the association of some genetic variants and poor adherence to statin therapy, for example, due to the appearance of muscular symptoms. There is evidence for resistance to some drugs for the treatment of dyslipidemia, such as anti-PCSK9. SUMMARY Pharmacogenomics has the potential to improve patient care by providing the right drug to the right patient and could guide the identification of new drug therapies for cardiovascular disease. This is very important in cardiovascular diseases, which have high morbidity and mortality. The improvement in therapy could be reflected in the reduction of healthcare costs and patient mortality.

Structural characterization of the optical isomers esomeprazole and omeprazole using the JADER and FAERS databases. Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 2023; 475:116632. [PMID: 37482254 DOI: 10.1016/j.taap.2023.116632] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2023] [Revised: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether the s (-) form of esomeprazole (EPZ) has an improved safety profile when compared with its racemic form omeprazole (OPZ). We assessed the potential complications of these optical isomers when combined with cilostazol, clopidogrel, and prasugrel, which are frequently used concomitant medications. METHODS Using two adverse event spontaneous reporting databases, Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report (JADER) and FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), adverse event names for hemorrhage, venous/arterial embolization, and thrombus were obtained from the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities. Reported odds ratios were calculated using a 2 × 2 contingency table, and a signal was considered present if the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval was >1. RESULTS In combination with cilostazol, a hemorrhagic signal for OPZ in JADER and arterial emboli and thrombus signals for EPZ were detected in both databases. In combination with clopidogrel, OPZ showed arterial emboli and thrombus signals in JADER and venous/arterial emboli and thrombus signals in FAERS, while EPZ displayed arterial emboli and thrombus signals in FAERS. In contrast, when in combination with prasugrel, there were no adverse event signals in either database. CONCLUSION This study has confirmed using big data, that EPZ, the optical isomer and racemic form of omeprazole, has the beneficial characteristics of being less sensitive to CYP, as was intended by its design.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The association of SLCO1B1 c.521T>C with simvastatin-induced muscle toxicity is well characterized. However, different statins are subject to metabolism and transport also by other proteins exhibiting clinically meaningful genetic variation. Our aim was to investigate associations of SLCO1B1 c.521T>C with intolerance to atorvastatin, fluvastatin, pravastatin, rosuvastatin, or simvastatin, those of ABCG2 c.421C>A with intolerance to atorvastatin, fluvastatin, or rosuvastatin, and that of CYP2C9*2 and *3 alleles with intolerance to fluvastatin. METHODS We studied the associations of these variants with statin intolerance in 2042 patients initiating statin therapy by combining genetic data from samples from the Helsinki Biobank to clinical chemistry and statin purchase data. RESULTS We confirmed the association of SLCO1B1 c.521C/C genotype with simvastatin intolerance both by using phenotype of switching initial statin to another as a marker of statin intolerance [hazard ratio (HR) 1.88, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.08-3.25, P = 0.025] and statin switching along with creatine kinase measurement (HR 5.44, 95% CI 1.49-19.9, P = 0.011). No significant association was observed with atorvastatin and rosuvastatin. The sample sizes for fluvastatin and pravastatin were relatively small, but SLCO1B1 c.521T>C carriers had an increased risk of pravastatin intolerance defined by statin switching when compared to homozygous reference T/T genotype (HR 2.11, 95% CI 1.01-4.39, P = 0.047). CONCLUSION The current results can inform pharmacogenetic statin prescribing guidelines and show feasibility for the methodology to be used in larger future studies.

Abstract
Conventional therapy options for chronic pain are still insufficient and patients most frequently request alternative medical treatments, such as medical cannabis. Although clinical evidence supports the use of cannabis for pain, very little is known about the efficacy, dosage, administration methods, or side effects of widely used and accessible cannabis products. A possible solution could be given by pharmacogenetics, with the identification of several polymorphic genes that may play a role in the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of cannabis. Based on these findings, data from patients treated with cannabis and genotyped for several candidate polymorphic genes (single-nucleotide polymorphism: SNP) were collected, integrated, and analyzed through a machine learning (ML) model to demonstrate that the reduction in pain intensity is closely related to gene polymorphisms. Starting from the patient's data collected, the method supports the therapeutic process, avoiding ineffective results or the occurrence of side effects. Our findings suggest that ML prediction has the potential to positively influence clinical pharmacogenomics and facilitate the translation of a patient's genomic profile into useful therapeutic knowledge.

Abstract
Pharmacogenomic testing, together with the early detection of drug-drug-gene interactions (DDGI) before initiating opioids, can improve the selection of dosage and reduce the risk of adverse drug interactions and therapeutic failures following Total Joint Arthroplasty. The variants of CYP genes can mediate DDGI. Orthopedic surgeons should become familiar with the genetic aspect of opioid use and abuse, as well as the influence of the patient genetic makeup in opioid selection and response, and polymorphic variants in pain modulation.

Abstract
Backgrounds Inter-individual variability in response to statin was mainly due to genetic differences. This study aimed to investigate the association of CYP3A4*22 (rs35599367), CYP3A5*3 (rs776746) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with response to simvastatin in hypercholesterolemia patients conducted at King Abdulaziz University hospital (KAUH) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Patients and methods A total of 274 participants were registered in the current study. Hypercholesterolemic patients taking simvastatin 20 mg (n = 148) and control subjects (n = 126) were tested for rs35599367 and rs776746 genotypes using Custom Taqman ® Assay Probes. Response to simvastatin in these patients was assessed by determination of low density lipoprotein (LDL-C), total cholesterol (TC) and by measuring statin plasma levels using Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS). Results None of the participants carried a homozygous CYP3A4*22 mutant genotype, while 12 (4.4%) individuals had a heterozygous genotype and 262 (95.6%) had a wild homozygous genotype. The CYP3A5*3 allele was detected in the homozygous mutant form in 16 (5.8%) individuals, while 74 (27.0%) individuals carried the heterozygous genotype and 184 (67.2%) carried the wildtype homozygous genotype. Of the patient group, 15 (11%) were classified as intermediate metabolizers (IMs) and 133 (89%) as extensive metabolizers (EMs). Plasma simvastatin concentrations for the combined CYP3A4/5 genotypes were significantly (P<0.05) higher in the IMs group than in the EMs group. TC and plasma LDL-C levels were also significantly (P<0.05) higher in IMs than in EMs. Conclusion The present study showed associations between CYP3A4*22 (rs35599367) and CYP3A5*3 (rs776746) SNP combination genotypes with response to statins in hypercholesterolemia. Patients who had either a mutant homozygous allele for CYP3A5*3 or mutant homozygous and heterozygous alleles for CYP3A4*22 showed increased response to lower TC and LDL-C levels.

Abstract
We investigated genetic determinants of single-dose simvastatin pharmacokinetics in a prospective study of 170 subjects and a retrospective cohort of 59 healthy volunteers. In a microarray-based genomewide association study with the prospective data, the SLCO1B1 c.521T>C (p.Val174Ala, rs4149056) single nucleotide variation showed the strongest, genomewide significant association with the area under the plasma simvastatin acid concentration-time curve (AUC; P = 6.0 × 10-10 ). Meta-analysis with the retrospective cohort strengthened the association (P = 1.6 × 10-17 ). In a stepwise linear regression candidate gene analysis among all 229 participants, SLCO1B1 c.521T>C (P = 1.9 × 10-13 ) and CYP3A4 c.664T>C (p.Ser222Pro, rs55785340, CYP3A4*2, P = 0.023) were associated with increased simvastatin acid AUC. Moreover, the SLCO1B1 c.463C>A (p.Pro155Thr, rs11045819, P = 7.2 × 10-6 ) and c.1929A>C (p.Leu643Phe, rs34671512, P = 5.3 × 10-4 ) variants associated with decreased simvastatin acid AUC. Based on these results and the literature, we classified the volunteers into genotype-predicted OATP1B1 and CYP3A4 phenotype groups. Compared with the normal OATP1B1 function group, simvastatin acid AUC was 273% larger in the poor (90% confidence interval (CI), 137%, 488%; P = 3.1 × 10-6 ), 40% larger in the decreased (90% CI, 8%, 83%; P = 0.036), and 67% smaller in the highly increased function group (90% CI, 46%, 80%; P = 2.4 × 10-4 ). Intermediate CYP3A4 metabolizers (i.e., heterozygous carriers of either CYP3A4*2 or CYP3A4*22 (rs35599367)), had 87% (90% CI, 39%, 152%, P = 6.4 × 10-4 ) larger simvastatin acid AUC than normal metabolizers. These data suggest that in addition to no function SLCO1B1 variants, increased function SLCO1B1 variants and reduced function CYP3A4 variants may affect the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety of simvastatin. Care is warranted if simvastatin is prescribed to patients carrying decreased function SLCO1B1 or CYP3A4 alleles.

Combining familial hypercholesterolemia and statin genetic studies as a strategy for the implementation of pharmacogenomics. A multidisciplinary approach. THE PHARMACOGENOMICS JOURNAL 2022; 22:180-187. [PMID: 35361995 DOI: 10.1038/s41397-022-00274-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2021] [Revised: 02/27/2022] [Accepted: 03/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The diagnostic process of familial hypercholesterolemia frequently involves the use of genetic studies. Patients are treated with lipid-lowering drugs, frequently statins. Although pharmacogenomic clinical practice guidelines focusing on genotype-based statin prescription have been published, their use in routine clinical practice remains very modest.We have implemented a new NGS strategy that combines a panel of genes related to familial hypercholesterolemia with genomic regions related to the pharmacogenomics of lipid-lowering drugs described in clinical practice guidelines and in EMA and FDA drug labels. A multidisciplinary team of doctors, biologists, and pharmacists creates a clinical report that provides diagnostic and therapeutic findings using a knowledge management and clinical decision support system, as well as an algorithm for treatment selection.For 12 months, a total of 483 genetic diagnostic studies for familial hypercholesterolemia were carried out, of which 221 (45.8%) requested a complementary pharmacogenomic test. Of these 221 patients, 66.5% were carriers of actionable variants in any of the studied pharmacogenomic pathways: 46.6% of patients in one pathway, 19.0% in two pathways, and 0.9% in three pathways. 45.7% of patients could have a response to atorvastatin different from that of the reference population, 45.7% for simvastatin and lovastatin, 29.0% for fluvastatin, and 6.7% patients for pitavastatin.This implementation approach facilitates the incorporation of pharmacogenomic studies in clinical care practice, it does not add complexity nor additional steps to laboratory processes, and improves the pharmacotherapeutic process of patients.

Abstract
Purpose Personalized medicine (PM) is the concept of managing patients based on their characteristics, including genotypes. In the field of cardiology, advantages of PM could be found in the diagnosis and treatment of several conditions such as arrhythmias and cardiomyopathies; moreover, it may be beneficial to prevent adverse drug reactions (ADR) and select the best medication. Genetic background can help us in selecting effective treatments, appropriate dose requirements, and preventive strategies in individuals with particular genotypes. Method In this review, we provide examples of personalized medicine based on human genetics for the most used pharmaceutics in cardiology, including warfarin, clopidogrel, and statins. We also review cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, and cardiomyopathies. Conclusion Genetic factors are as important as environmental factors and they should be tested and evaluated more in the future by improving in genetic testing tools.

Abstract
CONTEXT Baicalein and simvastatin possess similar pharmacological activities and indications. The risk of their co-administration was unclear. OBJECTIVE The interaction between baicalein and simvastatin was investigated to provide reference and guidance for the clinical application of the combination of these two drugs. MATERIALS AND METHODS The pharmacokinetics of simvastatin was investigated in Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 6). The rats were pre-treated with 20 mg/kg baicalein for 10 days and then administrated with 40 mg/kg simvastatin. The single administration of simvastatin was set as the control group. The rat liver microsomes were employed to assess the metabolic stability and the effect of baicalein on the activity of CYP3A4. RESULTS Baicalein significantly increased the AUC(0-t) (2018.58 ± 483.11 vs. 653.05 ± 160.10 μg/L × h) and Cmax (173.69 ± 35.49 vs. 85.63 ± 13.28 μg/L) of simvastatin. The t1/2 of simvastatin was prolonged by baicalein in vivo and in vitro. The metabolic stability of simvastatin was also improved by the co-administration of baicalein. Baicalein showed an inhibitory effect on the activity of CYP3A4 with the IC50 value of 12.03 μM, which is responsible for the metabolism of simvastatin. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION The co-administration of baicalein and simvastatin may induce drug-drug interaction through inhibiting CYP3A4. The dose of baicalein and simvastatin should be adjusted when they are co-administrated.

Pharmacogenomics of statins: lipid response and other outcomes in Brazilian cohorts. Pharmacol Rep 2021; 74:47-66.

Abstract
Statins are inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase, a key enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis, that are highly effective in reducing plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and decreasing the risk of cardiovascular events. In recent years, a multitude of variants in genes involved in pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) have been suggested to influence the cholesterol-lowering response. However, the vast majority of studies have analyzed the pharmacogenetic associations in populations in Europe and the USA, whereas data in other populations, including Brazil, are mostly lacking. This narrative review provides an update of clinical studies on statin pharmacogenomics in Brazilian cohorts exploring lipid-lowering response, adverse events and pleiotropic effects. We find that variants in drug transporter genes (SLCO1B1 and ABCB1) positively impacted atorvastatin and simvastatin response, whereas variants in genes of drug metabolizing enzymes (CYP3A5) decreased response. Furthermore, multiple associations of variants in PD genes (HMGCR, LDLR and APOB) with statin response were identified. Few studies have explored statin-related adverse events, and only ABCB1 but not SLCO1B1 variants were robustly associated with increased risk in Brazil. Statin-related pleiotropic effects were shown to be influenced by variants in PD (LDLR, NR1H2) and antioxidant enzyme (NOS3, SOD2, MTHFR, SELENOP) genes. The findings of these studies indicate that statin pharmacogenomic associations are distinctly different in Brazil compared to other populations. This review also discusses the clinical implications of pharmacogenetic studies and the rising importance of investigating rare variants to explore their association with statin response.

Abstract
Genetic variation in the CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 (CYP3A4/5) genes, which encode the key enzymes in tacrolimus metabolism, is associated with tacrolimus clearance and dose requirements. Tacrolimus has a narrow therapeutic index with high intra- and intersubject variability, in part because of genetic variation. High tacrolimus clearance and low trough concentration are associated with a greater risk for rejection, whereas high troughs are associated with calcineurin-induced toxicity. The objective of this study was to develop a model of tacrolimus clearance with a dosing equation accounting for genotypes and clinical factors in adult kidney transplant recipients of European ancestry that could preemptively guide dosing. Recipients receiving immediate-release tacrolimus for maintenance immunosuppression from 2 multicenter studies were included. Participants in the GEN03 study were used for tacrolimus model development (n = 608 recipients) and was validated by prediction performance in the DeKAF Genomics study (n = 1361 recipients). Nonlinear mixed-effects modeling was used to develop the apparent oral tacrolimus clearance (CL/F) model. CYP3A4/5 genotypes and clinical covariates were tested for their influence on CL/F. The predictive performance of the model was determined by assessing the bias (median prediction error [ME] and median percentage error [MPE]) and the precision (root median squared error [RMSE]) of the model. CYP3A5*3, CYP3A4*22, corticosteroids, calcium channel blocker and antiviral drug use, age, and diabetes significantly contributed to the interindividual variability of oral tacrolimus apparent clearance. The bias (ME, MPE) and precision (RMSE) of the final model was good, 0.49 ng/mL, 6.5%, and 3.09 ng/mL, respectively. Prospective testing of this equation is warranted.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is the most important drug metabolizing enzyme in the liver, responsible for the oxidative metabolism of ∼50% of clinically prescribed drugs. Therefore, genetic variation in CYP3A4 could potentially affect the pharmacokinetics, toxicity and clinical outcome of drug treatment. Thus far, pharmacogenetics for CYP3A4 has not received much attention. However, the recent discovery of the intron 6 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs35599367C > T, encoding the CYP3A4∗22 allele, led to several studies into the pharmacogenetic effect of CYP3A4∗22 on different drugs. This allele has a relatively minor allele frequency of 3-5% and an effect on CYP3A4 enzymatic activity. Thus far, no review summarizing the data published on several drugs is available yet. This article therefore addresses the current knowledge on CYP3A4∗22. This information may help in deciding if, and for which drugs, CYP3A4∗22 genotype-based dosing could be helpful in improving drug therapy. CYP3A4∗22 was shown to significantly influence the pharmacokinetics of several drugs, with currently being most thoroughly investigated tacrolimus, cyclosporine, and statins. Additional studies, focusing on toxicity and clinical outcome, are warranted to demonstrate clinical utility of CYP3A4∗22 genotype-based dosing.

Abstract
Aim: This study investigated major allelic variants of CYP2D6, CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 in Egyptians, an Arabic population for which there is little information regarding these important pharmacogenes. Patients & methods: CYP2D6*2, *4, *5, *10, *41 and gene copy number variation, as well as CYP3A4*22 and CYP3A5*3 were determined with commercially available TaqMan assays in 145 healthy study participants. Results: The CYP2D6 alleles identified suggest that the prevalence of poor metabolizers is low as none were found among the 145 subjects investigated. The frequency for CYP3A5 nonexpressers was 74.5% and the CYP3A4*22 allele frequency was low at 2.0%. Conclusion: These preliminary findings indicate that pharmacogene variation in Egyptians is different from those of other Middle Eastern/Arabic populations and warrants further investigation.

Abstract
The choice of lipid-modifying treatment is largely based on the absolute level of cardiovascular risk and baseline lipid profile. Statins are the first-line treatment for most patients requiring reduction of low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and ezetimibe and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors can be added to reach LDL-C targets. Statins have some adverse effects that are somewhat predictable based on phenotypic and genetic factors. Fibrates or omega-3 fatty acids can be added if triglyceride levels remain elevated. The RNA-targeted therapeutics in development offer the possibility of selective liver targeting for specific lipoproteins such as lipoprotein(a) and long-term reduction of LDL-C with infrequent administration of a small-interfering RNA may help to overcome the problem of adherence to therapy.

Abstract
Most of the prescribing and dispensing of medicines happens in primary care. Pharmacogenomics (PGx) is the study and clinical application of the role of genetic variation on drug response. Mounting evidence suggests PGx can improve the safety and/or efficacy of several medications commonly prescribed in primary care. However, implementation of PGx has generally been limited to a relatively few academic hospital centres, with little adoption in primary care. Despite this, many primary healthcare providers are optimistic about the role of PGx in their future practice. The increasing prevalence of direct-to-consumer genetic testing and primary care PGx studies herald the plausible gradual introduction of PGx into primary care and highlight the changes needed for optimal translation. In this article, the potential utility of PGx in primary care will be explored and on-going barriers to implementation discussed. The evidence base of several drug-gene pairs relevant to primary care will be outlined with a focus on antidepressants, codeine and tramadol, statins, clopidogrel, warfarin, metoprolol and allopurinol. This review is intended to provide both a general introduction to PGx with a more in-depth overview of elements relevant to primary care.

Abstract
Statins, a class of lipid-lowering medications, have been a keystone treatment in cardiovascular health. However, adverse effects associated with statin use impact patient adherence, leading to statin discontinuation. Statin-induced myotoxicity (SIM) is one of the most common adverse effects, prevalent across all ages, genders, and ethnicities. Although certain demographic cohorts carry a higher risk, the impaired quality of life attributed to SIM is significant. The pathogenesis of SIM remains to be fully elucidated, but it is clear that SIM is multifactorial. These factors include drug-drug interactions, renal or liver dysfunction, and genetics. Genetic-inferred risk for SIM was first reported by a landmark genome-wide association study, which reported a higher risk of SIM with a polymorphism in the SLCO1B1 gene. Since then, research associating genetic factors with SIM has expanded widely and has become one of the foci in the field of pharmacogenomics. This review provides an update on the genetic risk factors associated with SIM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aberrant endothelial function is a major contributing factor in cardiovascular disease. Dyslipidemia leads to decreased nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, an early sign of endothelial failure. Low insulin gene enhancer protein (ISL1) levels decrease healthy NO bioavailability. We hypothesized that the microRNA miR-652-3p negatively regulates endothelial ISL1 expression and that dyslipidemia-induced miR-652-3p upregulation induces aberrant endothelial functioning via ISL1 downregulation. METHODS Various in vitro experiments were conducted in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Luciferase assays were performed in HEK293 cells. We constructed a high-fat diet (HFD) Apoe-/- murine model of dyslipidemia and a rat model of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-induced dyslipidemia to conduct in vivo and ex vivo experiments. RESULTS Luciferase assays confirmed miR-652-3p's targeting of the ISL1 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR). Simvastatin blocked oxidized LDL (ox-LDL)-induced increases in miR-652-3p and ox-LDL-induced decreases in ISL1 protein expression, endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) activation, and NO production. Simvastatin's effects were abrogated by miR-652-3p overexpression and phenocopied by miR-652-3p inhibition. The dyslipidemic mouse model exhibited increased miR-652-3p and decreased ISL1 protein levels in the endothelium, effects opposed by simvastatin or miR-652-3p inhibition. The impact of simvastatin in vivo was abolished by overexpressing miR-652-3p or knocking-down ISL1. The rat model of dyslipidemia exhibited a similar pattern of miR-652-3p upregulation, attenuated ISL1 protein levels, decreased eNOS activation, and decreased NO production, effects mitigated by simvastatin. CONCLUSIONS Dyslipidemia upregulates endothelial miR-652-3p, which decreases ISL1 protein levels, eNOS activation, and NO production. Simvastatin therapy lowers endothelial miR-652-3p expression to protect endothelial function under dyslipidemic conditions.

Abstract
Atorvastatin (ATV) is frequently prescribed and generally well tolerated, but can lead to myotoxicity, especially at higher doses. A genome-wide association study of circulating levels of ATV, 2-hydroxy (2-OH) ATV, ATV lactone (ATV L), and 2-OH ATV L was performed in 590 patients who had been hospitalized with a non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome 1 month earlier and were on high-dose ATV (80 mg or 40 mg daily). The UGT1A locus (lead single nucleotide polymorphism, rs887829) was strongly associated with both increased 2-OH ATV/ATV (P = 7.25 × 10-16 ) and 2-OH ATV L/ATV L (P = 3.95 × 10-15 ) metabolic ratios. Moreover, rs45446698, which tags CYP3A7*1C, was nominally associated with increased 2-OH ATV/ATV (P = 6.18 × 10-7 ), and SLCO1B1 rs4149056 with increased ATV (P = 2.21 × 10-6 ) and 2-OH ATV (P = 1.09 × 10-6 ) levels. In a subset of these patients whose levels of ATV and metabolites had also been measured at 12 months after hospitalization (n = 149), all of these associations remained, except for 2-OH ATV and rs4149056 (P = 0.057). Clinically, rs4149056 was associated with increased muscular symptoms (odds ratio (OR) 3.97; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.29-12.27; P = 0.016) and ATV intolerance (OR 1.55; 95% CI 1.09-2.19; P = 0.014) in patients (n = 870) primarily discharged on high-dose ATV. In summary, both novel and recognized genetic associations have been identified with circulating levels of ATV and its major metabolites. Further study is warranted to determine the clinical utility of genotyping rs4149056 in patients on high-dose ATV.

[PMID: 31861911 PMCID: PMC7019839 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9010022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 98] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2019] [Revised: 12/17/2019] [Accepted: 12/18/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Statins are a cornerstone in the pharmacological prevention of cardiovascular disease. Although generally well tolerated, a small subset of patients experience statin-related myotoxicity (SRM). SRM is heterogeneous in presentation; phenotypes include the relatively more common myalgias, infrequent myopathies, and rare rhabdomyolysis. Very rarely, statins induce an anti-HMGCR positive immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy. Diagnosing SRM in clinical practice can be challenging, particularly for mild SRM that is frequently due to alternative aetiologies and the nocebo effect. Nevertheless, SRM can directly harm patients and lead to statin discontinuation/non-adherence, which increases the risk of cardiovascular events. Several factors increase systemic statin exposure and predispose to SRM, including advanced age, concomitant medications, and the nonsynonymous variant, rs4149056, in SLCO1B1, which encodes the hepatic sinusoidal transporter, OATP1B1. Increased exposure of skeletal muscle to statins increases the risk of mitochondrial dysfunction, calcium signalling disruption, reduced prenylation, atrogin-1 mediated atrophy and pro-apoptotic signalling. Rare variants in several metabolic myopathy genes including CACNA1S, CPT2, LPIN1, PYGM and RYR1 increase myopathy/rhabdomyolysis risk following statin exposure. The immune system is implicated in both conventional statin intolerance/myotoxicity via LILRB5 rs12975366, and a strong association exists between HLA-DRB1*11:01 and anti-HMGCR positive myopathy. Epigenetic factors (miR-499-5p, miR-145) have also been implicated in statin myotoxicity. SRM remains a challenge to the safe and effective use of statins, although consensus strategies to manage SRM have been proposed. Further research is required, including stringent phenotyping of mild SRM through N-of-1 trials coupled to systems pharmacology omics- approaches to identify novel risk factors and provide mechanistic insight.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Statins are widely used worldwide in the prevention and treatment of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease and ischaemic stroke. However, in clinical application, statins have shown great individual differences in terms of the efficacy and safety, some of which are related to genetic factors. The purpose of this article was to summarize the recent advances about the correlation between gene polymorphisms and the efficacy/safety of statins. METHODS We searched the databases including PharmGKB and PubMed (published before June 2019) using the keywords such as 'statin', 'gene polymorphism' and 'SNP' and obtained more than 100 articles. In this review, we described the clinical studies of genetic variants associated with both the efficacy and adverse reactions of statins. We also clarified the importance of taking pharmacogenetic variation into account to improve the clinical application of statins. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The available data were collected and analysed to present the polymorphisms of candidate genes encoding the most promising proteins including SLCO1B1 (encoding uptake transporters); ABCB1, ABCC2, ABCG2 (encoding effluent transporter); APOE, APOA5 (encoding apolipoprotein); genes encoding cytochrome P450 enzyme system; KIF6, HMGCR, LDLR, LPA, PCSK9, COQ2, CETP, etc These genes were proved to be related to the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of statins, thus affecting the efficacy and safety. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION In this paper, the correlation between gene polymorphisms and the efficacy/safety of statins was summarized. The authors reached a consensus that the variants of the genes encoding uptake and effluent transporters have the most effect on the efficacy/safety of statins. It pointed out that it is desirable to do genetic testing of these transporter genes to reduce the incidence of myopathy or to achieve better outcomes before patients use statins, especially in the regions with high frequency of risk allele.

Abstract
Introduction The aim was to study the pharmacogenetic determinants of switching simvastatin-intolerant ethnic Uzbek patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) to rosuvastatin treatment. Material and methods The study included 50 patients with CAD, who demonstrated statin-induced adverse liver symptoms, accompanied by an elevation in transaminase level (3-fold or more in 37 cases) or statin-induced adverse muscle symptoms, accompanied by elevations in serum (CK > 3 times above the upper limit of normal (ULN)) in simvastatin treatment with a dose of 10-20 mg/day. The control group consisted of 50 patients without side effects. Patients were genotyped for polymorphisms in the genes coding for the cytochrome P450 (CYP) metabolic enzymes CYP3A5(6986A>G), CYP2C9(430C>T), CYP2C9(1075A>C), and hepatic influx and efflux transporters SLCO1B1(521T>C) and BCRP(ABCG2, 421C>A) by means of the PCR-RFLP method. Results When the 50 patients of the case group were switched to the starting rosuvastatin dose of 5 mg, intolerance symptoms were not observed in 29 (58%) versus 21 with adverse symptoms. In this case-control study, the groups differed significantly only in the prevalence of the *3/*3 genotype CYP3A5 (OR = 5.25; 95% CI: 1.6-17.8; p = 0.014). Conclusions In a considerable proportion of ethnic Uzbek patients with CAD and simvastatin intolerance symptoms, serious side effects when switching to a starting dose of rosuvastatin were not observed, and it should be noted that in most cases (72.4%) this phenomenon was observed among the carriers of *3/*3 genotype of the CYP3A5 (6986A> G) gene.

Abstract
Considerable interindividual variability in response to cardiovascular pharmacotherapy exists with drug responses varying from being efficacious to inadequate to induce severe adverse events. Fueled by advancements and multidisciplinary collaboration across disciplines such as genetics, bioinformatics, and basic research, the vision of personalized medicine, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, may be within reach. Pharmacogenetics offers the potential to optimize the benefit-risk profile of drugs by tailoring diagnostic and treatment strategies according to the individual patient. To date, a multitude of studies has tried to delineate the effects of gene-drug interactions for drugs commonly used to treat cardiovascular-related disease. The focus of this review is on how genetic variability may modify drug responsiveness and patient outcomes following therapy with commonly used cardiovascular drugs including clopidogrel, warfarin, statins, and β-blockers. Also included are examples of how genetic studies can be used to guide drug discovery and examples of how genetic information may be deployed in clinical decision making.

Abstract
We investigated the association between genetic polymorphisms in cytochrome P450 (CYP2R1, CYP24A1, and the CYP3A family) with nonsummer plasma concentrations of vitamin D metabolites (25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3) and proportion 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (24,25(OH)2D3)) among healthy individuals of sub-Saharan African and European ancestry, matched on age (within 5 years; n = 188 in each ancestral group), in central suburban Pennsylvania (2006-2009). Vitamin D metabolites were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. Paired multiple regression and adjusted least-squares mean analyses were used to test for associations between genotype and log-transformed metabolite concentrations, adjusted for age, sex, proportion of West-African genetic ancestry, body mass index, oral contraceptive (OC) use, tanning bed use, vitamin D intake, days from summer solstice, time of day of blood draw, and isoforms of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and vitamin D binding protein. Polymorphisms in CYP2R1, CYP3A43, vitamin D binding protein, and genetic ancestry proportion remained associated with plasma 25(OH)D3 after adjustment. Only CYP3A43 and VDR polymorphisms were associated with proportion 24,25(OH)2D3. Magnitudes of association with 25(OH)D3 were similar for CYP3A43, tanning bed use, and OC use. Significant least-squares mean interactions (CYP2R1/OC use (P = 0.030) and CYP3A43/VDR (P = 0.013)) were identified. A CYP3A43 genotype, previously implicated in cancer, is strongly associated with biomarkers of vitamin D metabolism. Interactive associations should be further investigated.

Abstract
Introduction The objective is to study the influence of CYP3A5 (6986A>G), CYP2C9 (430C>T), CYP2C9 (1075A>C), SLCO1B1 (521T>C) and BCRP (ABCG2, 421C>A) gene polymorphisms on the development of simvastatin intolerance in ethnic Uzbek patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Material and methods The case group contained 50 patients with clinical simvastatin-induced intolerance symptoms; the control group contained 50 patients without side-effects. Genotyping was performed by means of the PCR-RFLP method. Results Among 37 patients with simvastatin-induced liver symptoms the *3/*3 genotype of the CYP3A5 gene (p = 0.0001) and variant genotype of the CA BCRP gene were observed more frequently than in the control group (p = 0.0001). However, when the 13 patients who had statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS) were compared with the control group (n = 50), it was found that in the case group the 3*/3* genotype of the CYP3A5 gene (OR = 8.6; 95% CI: 2.1-34.1; p = 0.003) and C allele carriers of the gene polymorphism SLCO1B1 (OR = 3.54; 95% CI: 1.35-9.27; Χ2 = 5.7; p = 0.017) were predominant. Conclusions The *3/*3 genotype of the CYP3A5 (6986A>G) gene and CA genotype of the BCRP (ABCG2, 421C>A) gene were associated with simvastatin-induced liver symptoms in ethnic Uzbek CAD patients, whereas in patients with simvastatin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS), the combination of *3/*3 genotype of CYP3A5 (6986A> G) and carriage of the C allele of the SLCO1B1 gene polymorphism was predominant.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Ibrutinib is inhibiting the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), thereby influencing B-cell development. We describe an unexpected side effect of ibrutinib in two patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia concerning the vigorous decrease of two different diabetes-associated antibodies. CASE DESCRIPTION Two weeks after onset of ibrutinib therapy, patient A frequently noticed symptoms of hypoglycaemia such as dizziness and blurred vision. Blood glucose declined to 35-40 mg/dL. He had to lower his insulin dose step by step. High levels of insulin antibodies which had developed during insulin therapy were detected. Seven weeks after start of ibrutinib, his insulin antibodies level had dropped by 54.6%. Patient B had a 54.1% decrease in his glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibodies level after 7 weeks. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION The inhibitory effect of ibrutinib on the levels of insulin antibodies and glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibodies is a novel finding and may have implications for diabetes care.

Abstract
Through the measure of thousands of small-molecule metabolites in diverse biological systems, metabolomics now offers the potential for new insights into the factors that contribute to complex human diseases such as cardiovascular disease. Targeted metabolomics methods have already identified new molecular markers and metabolomic signatures of cardiovascular disease risk (including branched-chain amino acids, select unsaturated lipid species, and trimethylamine-N-oxide), thus in effect linking diverse exposures such as those from dietary intake and the microbiota with cardiometabolic traits. As technologies for metabolomics continue to evolve, the depth and breadth of small-molecule metabolite profiling in complex systems continue to advance rapidly, along with prospects for ongoing discovery. Current challenges facing the field of metabolomics include scaling throughput and technical capacity for metabolomics approaches, bioinformatic and chemoinformatic tools for handling large-scale metabolomics data, methods for elucidating the biochemical structure and function of novel metabolites, and strategies for determining the true clinical relevance of metabolites observed in association with cardiovascular disease outcomes. Progress made in addressing these challenges will allow metabolomics the potential to substantially affect diagnostics and therapeutics in cardiovascular medicine.

Abstract
AIM This study examined whether gene polymorphisms (CYP3A4, ABCG2, SLCO1B1, NR1I2, PPARA and NFKB1) influenced the pharmacokinetics of lovastatin in Chinese healthy subjects. PATIENTS & METHOD Plasma concentrations of lovastatin and lovastatin acid were quantified using LC/MS/MS. RESULTS PPARA c.208+3819 G allele carriers had approximately twofold higher AUC0-∞ and Cmax of lovastatin than wild-type (PPARA c.208+3819 AA) subjects. After adjustment for the PPARA variants, subjects with the SLCO1B1 521TT genotype had approximately 50% lower AUC0-∞ of lovastatin acid than those with 521TC/CC genotypes, while the AUC0-∞ of lovastatin lactone in NFKB1-94 DD wild-type carriers was twofold higher than in mutant homozygotes carriers. CONCLUSION Gene polymorphisms of PPARA, SLCO1B1 and NFKB1 affected the pharmacokinetics of lovastatin.

Abstract
Cholesterol‐lowering response to 40 mg simvastatin daily for 6 weeks was examined for associations with common genetic polymorphisms in key genes affecting simvastatin metabolism (CYP3A4 and CYP3A5) and transport (SLCO1B1). In white people (n = 608), SLCO1B1 521C was associated with lesser reductions of total and low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol. Associations between SLCO1B1 521C and cholesterol response were not detected in African Americans (n = 333). Associations between CYP3A4*22 or CYP3A5*3 and cholesterol response were not detected in either race, and no significant race‐gene or gene‐gene interactions were detected. As several of the analyses may have been underpowered (especially the analyses in the African American cohort), the findings not suggesting an association should not be considered conclusive and warrant further investigation. The finding regarding SLCO1B1 521C in whites was consistent with several previous reports. SLCO1B1 521C resulted in a diminished cholesterol‐lowering response, but a marginal effect size limits utility for predicting simvastatin response.

Abstract
Statins are a cornerstone of the pharmacologic treatment and prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Atherosclerotic disease is a predominant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Statins are among the most commonly prescribed classes of medications, and their prescribing indications and target patient populations have been significantly expanded in the official guidelines recently published by the American and European expert panels. Adverse effects of statin pharmacotherapy, however, result in significant cost and morbidity and can lead to nonadherence and discontinuation of therapy. Statin-associated muscle symptoms occur in ~10% of patients on statins and constitute the most commonly reported adverse effect associated with statin pharmacotherapy. Substantial clinical and nonclinical research effort has been dedicated to determining whether genetics can provide meaningful insight regarding an individual patient’s risk of statin adverse effects. This contemporary review of the relevant clinical research on polymorphisms in several key genes that affect statin pharmacokinetics (eg, transporters and metabolizing enzymes), statin efficacy (eg, drug targets and pathways), and end-organ toxicity (eg, myopathy pathways) highlights several promising pharmacogenomic candidates. However, SLCO1B1 521C is currently the only clinically relevant pharmacogenetic test regarding statin toxicity, and its relevance is limited to simvastatin myopathy.

Individual and Combined Associations of Genetic Variants in CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and SLCO1B1 With Simvastatin and Simvastatin Acid Plasma Concentrations. J Cardiovasc Pharmacol 2016; 66:80-5. [PMID: 26164721 DOI: 10.1097/fjc.0000000000000246] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Our objective was to evaluate the associations of genetic variants affecting simvastatin (SV) and simvastatin acid (SVA) metabolism [the gene encoding cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A, polypeptide 4 (CYP3A4)*22 and the gene encoding cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A, polypeptide 5 (CYP3A5)*3] and transport [the gene encoding solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1 (SLCO1B1) T521C] with 12-hour plasma SV and SVA concentrations. The variants were genotyped, and the concentrations were quantified by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in 646 participants of the Cholesterol and Pharmacogenetics clinical trial of 40 mg/d SV for 6 weeks. The genetic variants were tested for association with 12-hour plasma SV, SVA, or the SVA/SV ratio using general linear models. CYP3A5*3 was not significantly associated with 12-hour plasma SV or SVA concentration. CYP3A4*1/*22 participants had 58% higher 12-hour plasma SV concentration compared with CYP3A4*1/*1 participants (P = 0.006). SLCO1B1 521T/C and 521C/C participants had 71% (P < 0.001) and 248% (P < 0.001) higher 12-hour plasma SVA compared with SLCO1B1 521T/T participants, respectively. CYP3A4 and SLCO1B1 genotypes combined categorized participants into low (<1), intermediate (≈1), and high (>1) SVA/SV ratio groups (P = 0.001). In conclusion, CYP3A4*22 and SLCO1B1 521C were significantly associated with increased 12-hour plasma SV and SVA concentrations, respectively. CYP3A5*3 was not significantly associated with 12-hour plasma SV or SVA concentrations. The combination of CYP3A4*22 and SLCO1B1 521C was significantly associated with SVA/SV ratio, which may translate into different clinical SV risk/benefit profiles.

Abstract
Millions of individuals are treated with a variety of statins that are metabolized to a variety of active metabolites. A single assay capable of simultaneously quantifying commonly used statins and their major metabolites has not been previously reported. Herein we describe the development and validation of a novel and robust liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay for simultaneously quantifying simvastatin, lovastatin, atorvastatin, and their metabolites, simvastatin acid, lovastatin acid, para-hydroxy atorvastatin, and ortho-hydroxy atorvastatin in human plasma. Plasma samples were processed with a simple protein precipitation technique using acetonitrile, followed by chromatographic separation using an Agilent Zorbax Extend C18 column. A 12.0min linear gradient elution was used at a flow rate of 400μL/min with a mobile phase of water and methanol, both modified with 2mM ammonium formate and 0.2% formic acid. The analytes and internal standard, hesperetin, were detected using the selected reaction monitoring mode on a TSQ Quantum Discovery mass spectrometer with positive electrospray ionization. The assay exhibited a linear range of 1-1000nM for simvastatin acid and lovastatin acid, and a linear range of 0.1-100nM for the other analytes in human plasma. The accuracy and the within- and between-day precisions of the assay were within acceptable ranges, and the method was successfully utilized to quantify the statins and their metabolites in human plasma samples collected from an ongoing pharmacokinetic study.
