Abstract
Data are presented on the formation of potentially toxic metabolites of drugs that are substrates of human drug metabolizing enzymes. The tabular data lists the formation of potentially toxic/reactive products. The data were obtained from in vitro experiments and showed that the oxidative reactions predominate (with 96% of the total potential toxication reactions). Reductive reactions (e.g., reduction of nitro to amino group and reductive dehalogenation) participate to the extent of 4%. Of the enzymes, cytochrome P450 (P450, CYP) enzymes catalyzed 72% of the reactions, myeloperoxidase (MPO) 7%, flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) 3%, aldehyde oxidase (AOX) 4%, sulfotransferase (SULT) 5%, and a group of minor participating enzymes to the extent of 9%. Within the P450 Superfamily, P450 Subfamily 3A (P450 3A4 and 3A5) participates to the extent of 27% and the Subfamily 2C (P450 2C9 and P450 2C19) to the extent of 16%, together catalyzing 43% of the reactions, followed by P450 Subfamily 1A (P450 1A1 and P450 1A2) with 15%. The P450 2D6 enzyme participated in an extent of 8%, P450 2E1 in 10%, and P450 2B6 in 6% of the reactions. All other enzymes participate to the extent of 14%. The data show that, of the human enzymes analyzed, P450 enzymes were dominant in catalyzing potential toxication reactions of drugs and their metabolites, with the major role assigned to the P450 Subfamily 3A and significant participation of the P450 Subfamilies 2C and 1A, plus the 2D6, 2E1 and 2B6 enzymes contributing. Selected examples of drugs that are activated or proposed to form toxic species are discussed.

Uncoupling of Cytochrome P450 2B6 and stimulation of reactive oxygen species production in pharmacogenomic alleles affected by interethnic variability. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2024; 1868:130595. [PMID: 38467309 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2024.130595] [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: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/13/2024]
Abstract
Cytochrome P450 mediated substrate metabolism is generally characterized by the formation of reactive intermediates. In vitro and in vivo reaction uncoupling, results in the accumulation and dissociation of reactive intermediates, leading to increased ROS formation. The susceptibility towards uncoupling and altered metabolic activity is partly modulated by pharmacogenomic alleles resulting in amino acid substitutions. A large variability in the prevalence of these alleles has been demonstrated in CYP2B6, with some being predominantly unique to African populations. The aim of this study is to characterize the uncoupling potential of recombinant CYP2B6*1, CYP2B6*6 and CYP2B6*34 metabolism of specific substrates. Therefore, functional effects of these alterations on enzyme activity were determined by quantification of bupropion, efavirenz and ketamine biotransformation using HPLC-MS/MS. Determination of H2O2 levels was performed by the AmplexRed/horseradish peroxidase assay. Our studies of the amino acid substitutions Q172H, K262R and R487S revealed an exclusive use of the peroxide shunt for the metabolism of bupropion and ketamine by CYP2B6*K262R. Ketamine was also identified as a trigger for the peroxide shunt in CYP2B6*1 and all variants. Concurrently, ketamine acted as an uncoupler for all enzymes. We further showed that the expressed CYP2B6*34 allele results in the highest H2O2 formation. We therefore conclude that the reaction uncoupling and peroxide shunt are directly linked and can be substrate specifically induced with K262R carriers being most likely to use the peroxide shunt and R487S carrier being most prone to reaction uncoupling. This elucidates the functional diversity of pharmacogenomics in drug metabolism and safety.

Abstract
Amino acid variants in protein may result in deleterious effects on enzymatic activity. In this study we investigate the DNA variants on activity of CYP2B6 gene in a Chinese Han population for potential use in precision medicine. All exons in CYP2B6 gene from 1483 Chinese Han adults (Zhejiang province) were sequenced using Sanger sequencing. The effects of nonsynonymous variants on recombinant protein catalytic activity were investigated in vitro with Sf12 system. The haplotype of novel nonsynonymous variants with other single nucleotide variants in the same allele was determined using Nanopore sequencing. Of 38 alleles listed on the Pharmacogene Variation Consortium, we detected 7 previously reported alleles and 18 novel variants, of which 11 nonsynonymous variants showed lower catalytic activity (0.00-0.60) on bupropion compared to CYP2B6*1. Further, these 11 novel star-alleles (CYP2B6*39-49) were assigned by the Pharmacogene Variation Consortium, which may be valuable for pharmacogenetic research and personalized medicine.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study is to demonstrate the use of PBPK modelling to explore the impact of ethnic differences on drug PK. METHODS A PBPK model developed for lansoprazole was used to predict the clinical PK of lansoprazole in Japanese subjects by incorporating the physiological parameters of a Japanese population into the model. Further verification of the developed Japanese population with clinical studies involving eight other CYP substrates-omeprazole, ticlopidine, alprazolam, midazolam, nifedipine, cinacalcet, paroxetine and dextromethorphan-was also carried out. RESULTS The PK of lansoprazole in both Caucasian and Japanese subjects was well predicted by the model as the observed data were within the 5th and 95th percentiles across all the clinical studies. In age- and sex-matched simulations in both the Caucasian and Japanese populations, the predicted PK (mean ± SD) of a single oral dose of 30-mg lansoprazole was higher in the Japanese population in all cases, with more than twofold higher AUC of 5.98 ± 6.43 mg/L.h (95% CI: 4.72, 7.24) vs. 2.46 ± 2.45 mg/L.h (95% CI: 1.98, 2.94) in one scenario. In addition, in two out of the nine clinical DDIs of lansoprazole and the additional CYP substrates simulated using the Japanese population, the predicted DDI in Japanese was more than 1.25-fold that in Caucasians, indicating an increased DDI liability. CONCLUSIONS By accounting for various physiological parameters that characterize a population in a PBPK model, the impact of the different identified interethnic differences on the drug's PK can be explored, which can inform the adoption of drugs from one region to another.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Many studies were conducted to determine the association between genetic polymorphisms in CYP2B6 c.516G>T and cyclophosphamide (CYC) efficacy or toxicity, no studies were focused on both clinical efficacy and toxicity of CYC. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the CYP2B6 c.516G>T polymorphism (rs 3745274) and 17 different parameters related to CYC efficacy and tolerability in Egyptian patients with lupus nephritis (LN). METHODS A prospective cohort study on 142 LN patients with a mean age of 36.26 was conducted at Kasr Al Ainy School of Medicine, Cairo University, Egypt after the exclusion of 14 patients due to receiving an interacting medication with CYC. All clinical parameters related to CYC efficacy or toxicity were recorded and compared between the different genotypes. RESULTS There was a statistically significant difference between different genotypes in 11 out of 13 of the studied efficacy-related parameters. Many of the studied clinical parameters revealed that CYC's efficacy was associated with the presence of the T allele. There was a statistically significant difference between different genotypes in hepatotoxicity, diarrhea, and blood-related toxicities. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this study is the first study that focused on studying 17 different parameters related to CYC efficacy and tolerability. Our findings paint a picture of the function that CYP2B6 polymorphisms play in Egyptian LN patients. Pre-treatment evaluation of CYP2B6 rs 3745274 may account for some individual differences in treatment response.

Abstract
Cyclophosphamide, an oxazaphosphorine prodrug is frequently used in treatment of neuroblastoma, which is one of the most prevalent solid organ malignancies in infants and young children. Cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) is the major catalyst and CYP2C19 is the minor enzyme in bioactivation and inactivation pathways of cyclophosphamide. CYP-mediated metabolism may contribute to the variable pharmacokinetics of cyclophosphamide and its toxic byproducts leading to insufficient response to the therapy and development of clinically significant side effects. The aim of the study was to reveal the contribution of pharmacogenetic variability in CYP2B6 and CYP2C19 to the treatment efficacy and cyclophosphamide-induced side effects in pediatric neuroblastoma patients under cyclophosphamide therapy (N = 50). Cyclophosphamide-induced hematologic toxicities were pivotal in all patients, whereas only moderate hepatorenal toxicity was developed. The patients' CYP2B6 metabolizer phenotypes were associated with the occurrence of lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, and monocytopenia as well as of liver injury, but not with kidney or urinary bladder (hemorrhagic cystitis) toxicities. Furthermore, the patients' age (< 1.5 years, P = 0.03) and female gender (P ≤ 0.02), but not CYP2B6 or CYP2C19 metabolizer phenotypes appeared as significant prognostic factors in treatment outcomes. Our results may contribute to a better understanding of the impact of CYP2B6 variability on cyclophosphamide-induced side effects.

Abstract
Immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV) nephritis, also known as Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN), is a condition in which small blood vessel inflammation and perivascular IgA deposition in the kidney caused by neutrophil activation, which more often leads to chronic kidney disease and accounts for 1%–2% of children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The treatment principles recommended by the current management guidelines include general drug treatment, support measures and prevention of sequelae, among which the therapeutic drugs include corticosteroids, immunosuppressive agents and angiotensin system inhibitors. However, the concentration range of immunosuppressive therapy is narrow and the individualized difference is large, and the use of corticosteroids does not seem to improve the persistent nephropathy and prognosis of children with IgAV. Therefore, individualized maintenance treatment of the disease and stable renal prognosis are still difficult problems. Genetic information helps to predict drug response in advance. It has been proved that most gene polymorphisms of cytochrome oxidase P450 and drug transporter can affect drug efficacy and adverse reactions (ADR). Drug therapy based on genetics and pharmacogenomics is beneficial to providing safer and more effective treatment for children. Based on the pathogenesis of IgAV, this paper summarizes the current therapeutic drugs, explores potential therapeutic drugs, and focuses on the therapeutic significance of corticosteroids and immunosuppressants in children with IgAV nephritis at the level of pharmacogenomics. In addition, the individualized application of corticosteroids and immunosuppressants in children with different genotypes was analyzed, in order to provide a more comprehensive reference for the individualized treatment of IgAV nephritis in children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous drugs have the potential to be affected by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2B6-mediated drug-drug interactions (DDIs). OBJECTIVES In this work, we extend a static approach to the prediction of the extent of pharmacokinetics DDIs between substrates and inhibitors or inducers of CYP2B6. METHODS This approach is based on the calculation of two parameters (the contribution ratio [CR], representing the fraction of dose of the substrate metabolized via this pathway and the inhibitory or inducing potency of the perpetrator [IR or IC, respectively]) calculated from the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) ratios obtained in in-vivo DDI studies. RESULTS Forty-eight studies involving 5 substrates, 11 inhibitors and 18 inducers of CYP2B6 (overall 15 inhibition and 33 induction studies) were divided into test and validation sets and considered for estimation of the parameters. The proposed approach demonstrated a fair accuracy for predicting the extent of DDI related to CYP2B6 inhibition and induction, all predictions related to the validation test (N = 18) being 50-200% of the observed ratios. CONCLUSIONS This methodology can be used for proposing initial dose adaptations to be adopted, for example in clinical use or for designing DDI studies involving this enzyme.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cyclophosphamide is a commonly used cancer agent that is metabolically activated by polymorphic enzymes. This study aims to investigate the association between predicted activity of candidate pharmacogenes with severe toxicity during cyclophosphamide treatment. METHODS Genome-wide genetic data was collected from an institutional genetic data repository for CYP2B6, CYP3A4, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, GSTA1, GSTP1, ALDH1A1, ALDH3A1, ABCC1, ABCB1, and ERCC1. Treatment and toxicity data were retrospectively collected from the patient's medical record. The a priori selected primary hypothesis was that patients who have CYP2B6 reduced metabolizer activity (poor or intermediate (PM/IM) vs. normal (NM) metabolizer) have lower risk of severe toxicity or cyclophosphamide treatment modification due to toxicity. RESULTS In the primary analysis of 510 cyclophosphamide-treated patients with available genetic data, there was no difference in the odds of severe toxicity or treatment modification due to toxicity in CYP2B6 PM/IM vs. NM (odds ratio = 0.97, 95% Confidence Interval: 0.62-1.50, p = 0.88). In an exploratory, statistically uncorrected secondary analysis, carriers of the ALDH1A1 rs8187996 variant had a lower risk of the primary toxicity endpoint compared with wild-type homozygous patients (odds ratio = 0.31, 95% Confidence Interval: 0.09-0.78, p = 0.028). None of the other tested phenotypes or genotypes was associated with the primary or secondary endpoints in unadjusted analysis (all p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The finding that patients who carry ALDH1A1 rs8187996 may have a lower risk of cyclophosphamide toxicity than wild-type patients contradicts a prior finding for this variant and should be viewed with skepticism. We found weak evidence that any of these candidate pharmacogenetic predictors of cyclophosphamide toxicity may be useful to personalize cyclophosphamide dosing to optimize therapeutic outcomes in patients with cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In vitro data suggest that the growth of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) cells is suppressed in a concentration-dependent manner by 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide (4HCY), the principal precursor to the cytotoxic metabolite of cyclophosphamide (CY). Various retrospective studies on the relationship between genes encoding proteins involved in the formation and elimination of 4HCY (i.e., 4HCY pharmacokinetics) and cyclophosphamide (CY) efficacy and toxicity have been conflicting. PROCEDURES We evaluated germline pharmacogenetics in 262 patients with newly diagnosed intermediate-risk RMS who participated in one prospective Children's Oncology Group clinical trial, ARST0531. Patients were treated with either vincristine/actinomycin/cyclophosphamide (VAC) or VAC alternating with vincristine/irinotecan (VAC/VI). We analyzed the associations between event-free survival and 394 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in 14 drug metabolizing enzymes or transporters involved in 4HCY pharmacokinetics. RESULTS Eight SNPs were associated (p-value < .05 by univariate analysis) with 3-year event-free survival; no SNPs survived a false discovery rate < 0.05. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that a pharmacogenomic approach to therapy personalization of cyclophosphamide in intermediate-risk rhabdomyosarcoma is not viable. Other methods to personalize therapy should be explored.

The correlation between the level of 3-hydroxypropyl mercapturic acid, CYP2B6 polymorphisms, and hematuria occurrences after cyclophosphamide administration and its bioanalytical methods: A systematic review. Heliyon 2021; 7:e08126. [PMID: 34746455 PMCID: PMC8551512 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2021.e08126] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2021] [Revised: 07/21/2021] [Accepted: 09/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cyclophosphamide (CPA) is a cytotoxic prodrug that needs to be metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes, like CYP2B6. Unfortunately, CYP2B6 is a very polymorphic enzyme and can cause a change in 3-hydroxypropyl mercapturic acid (3-HPMA), the most found CYP metabolite in urine levels. Change in 3-HPMA levels can also indicate the level change in its precursor, acrolein, which is responsible for the hematuria incidence after CPA administration.This review's purpose is to obtain a conclusion about the optimal 3-HPMA analysis method in urine after the administration of cyclophosphamide using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) through literature review from previous studies. Also, this review was written to examine the relationship between levels of 3-HPMA in urine, polymorphisms of CYP2B6 enzymes, and the incidence of hematuria after cyclophosphamide administration in cancer patients. METHODS Major databases, such as Universitas Indonesia's library database ScienceDirect, PubMed/Medline, Frontiers Media, and Google Scholar database, were used to find both published and unpublished studies without a time limit until 2020. Studies on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, drug therapy monitoring of cyclophosphamide, bioanalysis, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) published in Indonesian and English were included. Meanwhile, non-related studies or studies written in other languages besides Indonesian and English were excluded. Two independent reviewers screened the titles, abstracts, and full-text manuscripts. Data obtained from eligible sources were used to answer the purpose of this review in a narrative form. RESULTS The authors found 436 related studies from various databases and websites. Then, the authors narrowed it down into 62 pieces of literature by removing the duplicates and reviewing the abstracts and full-text manuscripts. Out of 62 sources, the authors found 30 studies that explained 3-HPMA analysis using LC/MS-MS, CYP2B6 polymorphisms, and hematuria occurrences. The authors used those 30 studies to build a conclusion regarding the purpose of this study. We strengthened the results with some additional information from the other 32 eligible sources. CONCLUSIONS The authors conclude that according to literature searches from previous studies, the optimal 3-HPMA analysis method in urine after cyclophosphamide administration using LC-MS/MS is using triple quadrupole LC-MS/MS; source of positive ion electrospray ionization (ESI); mobile phase combination of 0.1% formic acid in water (A) - 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile (90:10 v/v) (B); the Acquity® BEH C18 column (2.1 × 100 mm; 1.7 μm); injection volume of 10 μl; flow rate of 0.2 ml/minute; gradient elution method. Detection was carried out using mass spectrometry with m/z ratio of 222.10 > 90 for 3-HPMA and m/z 164.10 > 122 for n-acetylcysteine (NAC). The optimum sample preparation method is acidification and dilution ratio of 1:5 v/v. Also, there is a relationship between 3-HPMA levels, CYP2B6 polymorphisms, and the occurrences of hematuria after the administration of cyclophosphamide, which is a type of CYP2B6 polymorph, namely CYP2B6∗6, can increase cyclophosphamide hydroxylation so that it can increase the levels of acrolein and 3-HPMA, as its metabolites, and risk of hematuria. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This research does not use human participants, human data, or human tissue for being directly studied for the review. Therefore, ethics approval and consent to participate are not applicable. REGISTRATION This research has not been registered yet.

Abstract
The treatment options for breast cancer include endocrine therapy, targeted therapy and chemotherapy. However, some patients with triple-negative breast cancer cannot benefit from these methods. Therefore, novel therapeutic targets should be developed. The cytochrome P450 enzyme (CYP) is a crucial metabolic oxidase, which is involved in the metabolism of endogenous and exogenous substances in the human body. Some products undergoing the metabolic pathway of the CYP enzyme, such as hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyls and 4-chlorobiphenyl, are toxic to humans and are considered to be potential carcinogens. As a class of multi-gene superfamily enzymes, the subtypes of CYPs are selectively expressed in breast cancer tissues, especially in the basal-like type. In addition, CYPs are essential for the activation or inactivation of anticancer drugs. The association between CYP expression and cancer risk, tumorigenesis, progression, metastasis and prognosis has been widely reported in basic and clinical studies. The present review describes the current findings regarding the importance of exploring metabolic pathways of CYPs and gene polymorphisms for the development of vital therapeutic targets for breast cancer.

Abstract
Human hepatic cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) expressed is responsible for the metabolism of many drugs, such as cyclophosphamide, ifosfamid, and efavirenz. In the present study, the correlation between CYP2B6 mRNA and protein levels in human liver samples was found to be moderate, indicating a contribution of posttranscriptional regulation of CYP2B6. Thus, we examined the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the regulation of CYP2B6. We established two kinds of HEK293 cell lines stably expressing CYP2B6, including or excluding the full-length 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) (HEK/2B6+UTR and HEK/2B6 cells, respectively). We tested 14 miRNAs that were predicted to bind to the 3'-UTR of CYP2B6 and found that the overexpression of miR-145, miR-194, miR-222, and miR-378 decreased the CYP2B6 protein level and activity in HEK/2B6+UTR but not in HEK/2B6 cells. These results suggested that miR-145, miR-194, miR-222, and miR-378 negatively regulate CYP2B6 expression by binding to the 3'-UTR. A negative correlation was not observed between the translational efficiency of CYP2B6 and the expression level of miR-145, miR-194, miR-222, or miR-378. This is due to the contribution of multiple miRNAs to CYP2B6 regulation. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that human CYP2B6 is posttranscriptionally regulated by miR-145, miR-194, miR-222, and miR-378.

Abstract
Background Cyclophosphamide (CP) is an anticancer alkylating group (nitrogen mustard) and a prodrug that will be metabolized to form its active metabolite, 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide (4-OHCP). The various enzymes involved in its bioactivation can cause a wide range of CP expression and activity among patients and ultimately affect the metabolism, efficacy and toxicity of this drug. The effectiveness of CP therapy can be determined by 4-OHCP level in dried blood spot (DBS). Aim The purpose of this study was to conduct the phenotyping of CP 4-hydroxylation rate in Malay cancer patients. Methodology Phenotyping study of CP 4-hydroxylation rate to 40 subjects of Malay cancer patients was done based on the value of its bioactivity ratio (4-OHCP to CP levels). Results The result shown the cyclophosphamide 4-hydroxylation rate of 80% (n=32) subjects as ultrarapid metabolizer (UM) and 20% (n=8) as poor metabolizer (PM). Conclusion Phenotyping study of CP 4-hydroxylation in Malay cancer patients can be conducted by quantifying CP bioactivity ratio (4-OHCP to CP level) in dried blood spot. In majority of Malay cancer patients, cyclophosphamide would be bioactivated through 4-hydroxylation in hepar rapidly as indicated by the high value of the bioactivity ratio or the increased CP clearance and 4-OHCP level.

Human Family 1-4 cytochrome P450 enzymes involved in the metabolic activation of xenobiotic and physiological chemicals: an update. Arch Toxicol 2021; 95:395-472.

Abstract
This is an overview of the metabolic activation of drugs, natural products, physiological compounds, and general chemicals by the catalytic activity of cytochrome P450 enzymes belonging to Families 1-4. The data were collected from > 5152 references. The total number of data entries of reactions catalyzed by P450s Families 1-4 was 7696 of which 1121 (~ 15%) were defined as bioactivation reactions of different degrees. The data were divided into groups of General Chemicals, Drugs, Natural Products, and Physiological Compounds, presented in tabular form. The metabolism and bioactivation of selected examples of each group are discussed. In most of the cases, the metabolites are directly toxic chemicals reacting with cell macromolecules, but in some cases the metabolites formed are not direct toxicants but participate as substrates in succeeding metabolic reactions (e.g., conjugation reactions), the products of which are final toxicants. We identified a high level of activation for three groups of compounds (General Chemicals, Drugs, and Natural Products) yielding activated metabolites and the generally low participation of Physiological Compounds in bioactivation reactions. In the group of General Chemicals, P450 enzymes 1A1, 1A2, and 1B1 dominate in the formation of activated metabolites. Drugs are mostly activated by the enzyme P450 3A4, and Natural Products by P450s 1A2, 2E1, and 3A4. Physiological Compounds showed no clearly dominant enzyme, but the highest numbers of activations are attributed to P450 1A, 1B1, and 3A enzymes. The results thus show, perhaps not surprisingly, that Physiological Compounds are infrequent substrates in bioactivation reactions catalyzed by P450 enzyme Families 1-4, with the exception of estrogens and arachidonic acid. The results thus provide information on the enzymes that activate specific groups of chemicals to toxic metabolites.

Abstract
The CYP2B6 gene is highly polymorphic and its activity shows wide interindividual variability. However, substantial variability in CYP2B6 activity remains unexplained by the known CYP2B6 genetic variations. Circulating, cell-free micro RNAs (miRNAs) may serve as biomarkers of hepatic enzyme activity. CYP2B6 activity in 72 healthy volunteers was determined using the disposition of efavirenz as a probe drug. Circulating miRNA expression was quantified from baseline plasma samples. A linear model consisting of the effects of miRNA expression, genotype-determined metabolizer status, and demographic information was developed to predict CYP2B6 activity. Expression of 2,510 miRNAs were quantified out of which 7 miRNAs, together with the CYP2B6-genotypic metabolizer status and demographics, was shown to be predictive markers for CYP2B6 activity. The reproducibility of the model was evaluated by cross-validation. The average Pearson's correlation (R) between the predicted and observed maximum plasma concentration (Cmax ) ratios of efavirenz and its metabolite-8-OH efavirenz using the linear model with all features (7 miRNA + metabolizer status + age + sex + race) was 0.6702. Similar results were also observed using area under the curve (AUC) ratios (Pearson correlation's R = 0.6035). Thus, at least 36% (R2 ) of the variability of in vivo CYP2B6 activity was explained using this model. This is a significant improvement over the models using only the genotype-based metabolizer status or the demographic information, which explained only 6% or less of the variability of in vivo CYP2B6 activity. Our results, therefore, demonstrate that circulating plasma miRNAs can be valuable biomarkers for in vivo CYP2B6 activity.

Abstract
Cancer is the leading cause of death in American children older than 1 year of age. Major developments in drugs such as thiopurines and optimization in clinical trial protocols for treating cancer in children have led to a remarkable improvement in survival, from approximately 30% in the 1960s to more than 80% today. Short-term and long-term adverse effects of chemotherapy still affect most survivors of childhood cancer. Pharmacogenetics plays a major role in predicting the safety of cancer chemotherapy and, in the future, its effectiveness. Treatment failure in childhood cancer-due to either serious adverse effects that limit therapy or the failure of conventional dosing to induce remission-warrants development of new strategies for treatment. Here, we summarize the current knowledge of the pharmacogenomics of cancer drug treatment in children and of statistically and clinically relevant drug-gene associations and the mechanistic understandings that underscore their therapeutic value in the treatment of childhood cancer.

Abstract
Cyclophosphamide (CPA) containing chemotherapy regimen is the standard of care for breast cancer treatment in sub-Saharan Africa. Wide inter-individual variations in pharmacokinetics (PK) of cyclophosphamide (CPA) influence the efficacy and toxicity of CPA containing chemotherapy. Data on the pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of CPA and its covariates among black African patients is lacking. We investigated population pharmacokinetic/pharmacogenetic/pharmacodynamic (PK-PG-PD) of CPA in Ethiopian breast cancer patients. During the first cycle of CPA-based chemotherapy, the population PK parameters for CPA were determined in 267 breast cancer patients. Absolute neutrophil count was recorded at baseline and day 20 post-CPA administration. A population PK and covariate model analysis was performed using non-linear mixed effects modeling. Semi-mechanistic and empiric drug response models were explored to describe the relationship between the area under concentration-time curve (AUC), and neutrophil toxicity. One compartment model better described CPA PK with population clearance and apparent volume of distribution (VD) of 5.41 L/h and 46.5 L, respectively. Inter-patient variability in CPA clearance was 54.5%. Patients carrying CYP3A5*3 or *6 alleles had lower elimination rate constant and longer half-life compared to wild type carriers. CYP2C9 *2 or *3 carriers were associated with increased clearance of CPA. Patients who received 500 mg/m2 based CPA regimen were associated with a 32.3% lower than average clearance and 37.1% lower than average VD compared to patients who received 600 mg/m2. A 0.1 m2 unit increase in body surface area (BSA) was associated with a 5.6% increment in VD. The mean VD (33.5 L) in underweight group (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2) was significantly lower compared to those of overweight (48.1 L) or obese patients (51.9 L) (p < 0.001). AUC of CPA was positively correlated with neutropenic toxicity. In conclusion, we report large between-patient variability in clearance of CPA. CYP3A5 and CYP2C9 genotypes, BSA, BMI, and CPA dosage regimen influence PK of CPA. Plasma CPA exposure positively predicts chemotherapy-associated neutropenic toxicity.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to investigate potential associations between CYP2B6 c.516G>T polymorphism and the occurrence and prognosis of acute leukemias (AL) in the Han population of Northwest China. Methods The CYP2B6 gene polymorphism was analyzed by PCR‐RFLP and Sanger DNA sequencing in 126 patients with AL and 161 healthy controls. Results Compared with controls, there were significantly higher frequencies of GT and TT genotypes and T alleles in AL patients (p < .05), particularly in fusion gene‐positive AL patients. There was no significant difference in CYP2B6 polymorphic genotypes and T alleles between AL patients with complete remission after the first course of chemotherapy and controls (p > .05), while the frequencies in AL patients with partial remission and no remission were significantly higher. The CYP2B6 allele frequency in Han Chinese in Northwest China was significantly different to that reported in Han Chinese and other ethnic minorities in southern China, Uygur Chinese, Vietnamese, African, German, British, Spanish, Turkish, and Argentinian populations; however, there was no significant difference compared with allele frequencies reported in Tibetan and Mongolian Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and American populations. Conclusion Our findings show a strong correlation of the CYP2B6 c.516G>T polymorphism in the Han population of Northwest China with AL, especially fusion gene‐positive AL, and indicate a poor prognosis after the first course of chemotherapy. Our findings also implicate the T allele in AL susceptibility and indicate the existence of racial and geographical differences in allele frequencies of CYP2B6 c.516G>T polymorphism.

Abstract
PURPOSE To characterize the population pharmacokinetics of cyclophosphamide, active 4-hydroxy-cyclophosphamide (4OH-CTX), and inactive carboxyethylphosphoramide mustard (CEPM), and their associations with hematologic toxicities in infants and young children with brain tumors. To use this information to provide cyclophosphamide dosing recommendations in this population. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients received four cycles of a 1-hour infusion of 1.5 g/m2 cyclophosphamide. Serial samples were collected to measure cyclophosphamide, 4OH-CTX, and CEPM plasma concentrations. Population pharmacokinetic modeling was performed to identify the patient characteristics influencing drug disposition. Associations between drug exposures and metrics reflecting drug-induced neutropenia, erythropenia, and thrombocytopenia were investigated. A Bayesian approach was developed to predict 4OH-CTX exposure using only cyclophosphamide and CEPM plasma concentrations. RESULTS Data from 171 patients (0.07-4.9 years) were adequately fitted by a two-compartment (cyclophosphamide) and one-compartment model (metabolites). Young infants (<6 months) exhibited higher mean 4OH-CTX exposure than did young children (138.4 vs. 107.2 μmol/L·h, P < 0.0001). No genotypes exhibited clinically significant influence on drug exposures. Worse toxicity metrics were significantly associated with higher 4OH-CTX exposures. Dosing simulations suggested decreased cyclophosphamide dosage to 1.2 g/m2 for young infants versus 1.5 g/m2 for children to attain similar 4OH-CTX exposure. Bayesian-modeled 4OH-CTX exposure predictions were precise (mean absolute prediction error 14.8% ± 4.2%) and had low bias (mean prediction error 4.9% ± 5.1%). CONCLUSIONS A 4OH-CTX exposure-toxicity association was established, and a decreased cyclophosphamide dosage for young infants was suggested to reduce toxicity in this population. Bayesian modeling to predict 4OH-CTX exposure may reduce clinical processing-related costs and provide insights into further exposure-response associations.

Abstract
As a widely used alkylating agent, cyclophosphamide often leads to various toxicities. Severe hepatotoxicity has been rarely reported in breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy containing cyclophosphamide. Differences in cyclophosphamide metabolism may contribute to variability in adverse events of patients. Here, we report on a case of a 68-year-old Chinese female with breast cancer who experienced severe and prolonged hepatotoxicity induced by cyclophosphamide. Pharmacogenetic tests showed that she was a carrier of CYP2B6*7 allele and this is the first case of a CYP2B6*7 variant in the Han Chinese population so far reported. In addition, the patient was also a carrier of an ALDH3A1*2 variant potentially contributing to the occurrence of hepatotoxicity. CYP2B6 and ALDH3A1 genotyping may play a role in guiding cyclophosphamide therapy.

Circulating DNA as prognostic biomarker in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma: a translational exploratory study from the SORAMIC trial. J Transl Med 2019; 17:328. [PMID: 31570105 PMCID: PMC6771167 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-019-2079-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 46] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2019] [Accepted: 09/21/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Liquid biopsy based on cell-free DNA circulating in plasma has shown solid results as a non-invasive biomarker. In the present study we evaluated the utility of circulating free DNA (cfDNA) and the sub-type tumor DNA (ctDNA) in hepatocellular cancer (HCC) patients to assess therapy response and clinical outcome. METHODS A cohort of 13 patients recruited in the context of the SORAMIC trial with unresectable, advanced HCC and different etiological and clinicopathological characteristics was included in this exploratory study. Plasma samples were collected between liver micro-intervention and beginning of sorafenib-based systemic therapy and then in correspondence of three additional follow-ups. DNA was isolated from plasma and next generation sequencing (NGS) was performed on a panel of 597 selected cancer-relevant genes. RESULTS cfDNA levels showed a significant correlation with the presence of metastases and survival. In addition cfDNA kinetic over time revealed a trend with the clinical history of the patients, supporting its use as a biomarker to monitor therapy. NGS-based analysis on ctDNA identified 28 variants, detectable in different combinations at the different time points. Among the variants, HNF1A, BAX and CYP2B6 genes showed the highest mutation frequency and a significant association with the patients' clinicopathological characteristics, suggesting a possible role as driver genes in this specific clinical setting. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, the results support the prognostic value of cfDNA/ctDNA in advanced HCC patients with the potential to predict therapy response. These findings support the clinical utility of liquid biopsy in advanced HCC improving individualized therapy and possible earlier identification of treatment responders.

Analysis of glutathione S-transferase and cytochrome P450 gene polymorphism in recipients of dose-adjusted busulfan-cyclophosphamide conditioning. Int J Hematol 2019; 111:84-92.

Abstract
Sporadic incidence of veno-occlusive disease (VOD) continues to occur, despite achievement of recommended busulfan (BU) concentrations after real-time BU dose adjustment. To explore the potential influence of glutathione S-transferase (GST) and cytochrome P450 (CYP) genotypes on plasma BU concentration, subsequent VOD, and transplant outcome, we assessed the polymorphisms of multiple GST and CYP genes. Fifty-five patients were included (median age 38 years; range 21-67). Of these, 49 received dose-adjusted BU/CY therapy. Twenty-six patients received transplants from human leukocyte antigen-identical siblings, 26 from unrelated donors. The GSTA1*A/*A genotype was significantly associated with lower BU first-dose area under curve (AUC1st). We found that patients with higher AUC1st showed a significantly higher serum total bilirubin during the first month after transplantation, but this was not necessarily associated with subsequent development of VOD. We further analyzed a possible association of GST and CYP polymorphisms and VOD development, and found none of the polymorphisms investigated was associated with VOD incidence. Regarding transplant outcomes, GSTM1-positive patients showed lower relapse rates and better overall survival in multivariate analyses. These results suggest that a GSTM1-positive genotype in patients receiving BU/CY conditioning protects against relapse of hematological malignancies after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
Cyclophosphamide is an alkylating agent used in the treatment of solid and haematological malignancies and as an immunosuppressive agent. As a prodrug, it is dependent on bioactivation to the active phosphoramide mustard metabolite to elicit its therapeutic effect. This focused review will highlight the evidence for the role of germline pharmacogenetic variation in both plasma pharmacokinetics and clinical outcomes. There is a substantial indication from 13 pharmacokinetic and 17 therapeutic outcome studies, in contexts as diverse as haematological malignancy, breast cancer, systemic lupus erythematosus and myeloablation, that pharmacogenetic variation in both CYP2C19 and CYP2B6 influence the bioactivation of cyclophosphamide. An additional role for pharmacogenetic variation in ALDH1A1 has also been reported. Future studies should comprehensively assess these 3 pharmacogenes and undertake appropriate statistical analysis of gene-gene interactions to confirm these findings and may allow personalised treatment regimens.

Abstract
Nitrogen mustards, a family of DNA alkylating agents, marked the start of cancer pharmacotherapy. While traditionally characterized by their dose-limiting toxic effects, nitrogen mustards have been the subject of intense research efforts, which have led to safer and more effective agents. Even though the alkylating prodrug mustards were first developed decades ago, active research on ways to improve their selectivity and cytotoxic efficacy is a currently active topic of research. This review addresses the historical development of the nitrogen mustards, outlining their mechanism of action, and discussing the improvements on their therapeutic profile made through rational structure modifications. A special emphasis is made on discussing the nitrogen mustard prodrug category, with Cyclophosphamide (CPA) serving as the main highlight. Selected insights on the latest developments on nitrogen mustards are then provided, limiting such information to agents that preserve the original nitrogen mustard mechanism as their primary mode of action. Additionally, future trends that might follow in the quest to optimize these invaluable chemotherapeutic medications are succinctly suggested.

Abstract
CYP2B6*6 and CYP2B6*18 are the most clinically important variants causing reduced CYP2B6 protein expression and activity. However, these variants do not account for all variability in CYP2B6 activity. Emerging evidence has shown that genetic variants in the 3'UTR may explain variable drug response by altering microRNA regulation. Five 3'UTR variants were associated with significantly altered efavirenz AUC0-48 (8-OH-EFV/EFV) ratios in healthy human volunteers. The rs70950385 (AG>CA) variant, predicted to create a microRNA binding site for miR-1275, was associated with a 33% decreased CYP2B6 activity among normal metabolizers (AG/AG vs. CA/CA (P < 0.05)). In vitro luciferase assays were used to confirm that the CA on the variant allele created a microRNA binding site causing an 11.3% decrease in activity compared to the AG allele when treated with miR-1275 (P = 0.0035). Our results show that a 3'UTR variant contributes to variability in CYP2B6 activity.

Abstract
Objective To compare the incidence of toxicity of 8 different chemotherapy regimens, including doxorubicin + paclitaxel, doxorubicin, capecitabine, CMF (cyclophosphamide + methotrexate + 5-fluorouracil), FAC (fluorouracil + doxorubicin + cyclophosphamide), doxorubicin + docetaxel, doxorubicin + cyclophosphamide and paclitaxel in the treatment of metastatic/advanced breast cancer. Results This network meta-analysis included 8 randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The findings revealed that, with regard to capecitabine alone regimen exhibited higher incidence of nausea/vomiting than doxorubicin + paclitaxel regimen, doxorubicin alone regimen and paclitaxel alone regimen in the treatment of patients with metastatic/advanced breast cancer (OR = 32.48, 95% CI = 1.65~2340.57; OR = 22.75, 95% CI = 1.03~1923.52; OR = 59.63, 95% CI = 2.22~5664.88, respectively). Furthermore, doxorubicin + cyclophosphamide regimen had lower incidence of febrile neutropenia than doxorubicin + docetaxel (OR = 0.17, 95% CI = 0.03~0.96). No significant difference in the incidence of stomatitis was observed among eight chemotherapy regimens. Materials and Methods We initially searched PubMed, Cochrane Library and Embase databases from the founding of these databases to January 2016. Eligible studies investigating the 8 different chemotherapy regimens for treatment of metastatic/advanced breast cancer were included for direct and indirect comparison. The odds ratio (OR) and surface under the cumulative ranking curves (SUCRA) value of the incidence of toxicity among eight chemotherapy regimens were analyzed. Conclusions Capecitabine alone regimen and doxorubicin + docetaxel regimen may have a more frequent toxicity in the treatment of metastatic/advanced breast cancer.

Abstract
Locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) cases have a varying five-year survival rate, mainly influenced by the tumor response to chemotherapy. Paclitaxel activity (response rate) varies across populations from 21.5% to 84%. There are some reports on genetic traits and paclitaxel; however, there is still considerable residual unexplained variability. In this study, we aimed to test the association between eleven novel markers and tumor response to paclitaxel and to explore if any of them influenced tumor protein expression. We studied a cohort of 140 women with LABC. At baseline, we collected a blood sample (for genotyping), fine needle aspirates (for Western blot), and tumor measurements by imaging. After follow-up, we ascertained the response to paclitaxel monotherapy by comparing the percent change in the pre-, post- tumor measurements after treatment. To allocate exposure, we genotyped eleven SNPs with TaqMan probes on RT-PCR and regressed them to tumor response using linear modeling. In addition, we compared protein expression, between breast tumors and healthy controls, of those genes whose genetic markers were significantly associated with tumor response. After adjusting for multiple clinical covariates, SNPs on the LPHN2, ROBO1, SNTG1, and GRIK1 genes were significant independent predictors of poor tumor response (tumor growth) despite paclitaxel treatment. Moreover, proteins encoded by those genes are significantly downregulated in breast tumor samples.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the impact of genetic variants in CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP3A4, GSTT1, GSTM1 and GSTP1 on the efficacy of cyclophosphamide (CYC) therapy in patients with lupus nephritis. MATERIALS & METHODS Lupus nephritis patients (n = 220) treated with CYC were included in the study. RESULTS Logistic regression analysis identified CYP2C19*2 as an independent predictor of CYC therapeutic failure (odds ratio [OR]: 2.69; p = 0.0043). Bivariate and trivariate analysis showed the subjects harboring CYP2C19*2 and GSTP1 (OR: 3.25; p = 0.03), and CYP2C19*2, GSTP1 and CYP3A5*3 have synergistic influence on CYC failure (OR: 8.2; p < 0.0001). Significant decrease in AUC0-t, Cmax and t½ of 4-OH-CYC in patients carrying CYP3A5*3 (p < 0.02). CONCLUSION Patients with CYP2C19*2 were at increased risk and CYP2C19*2, CYP3A5*3 and GSTP1 have synergistic influence on CYC failure.

Abstract
Cancer treatment is becoming more and more individually based as a result of the large inter-individual differences that exist in treatment outcome and toxicity when patients are treated using population-based drug doses. Polymorphisms in genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters can significantly influence uptake, metabolism, and elimination of anticancer drugs. As a result, the altered pharmacokinetics can greatly influence drug efficacy and toxicity. Pharmacogenetic screening and/or drug-specific phenotyping of cancer patients eligible for treatment with chemotherapeutic drugs, prior to the start of anticancer treatment, can identify patients with tumors that are likely to be responsive or resistant to the proposed drugs. Similarly, the identification of patients with an increased risk of developing toxicity would allow either dose adaptation or the application of other targeted therapies. This review focuses on the role of genetic polymorphisms significantly altering the pharmacokinetics of anticancer drugs. Polymorphisms in DPYD, TPMT, and UGT1A1 have been described that have a major impact on the pharmacokinetics of 5-fluorouracil, mercaptopurine, and irinotecan, respectively. For other drugs, however, the association of polymorphisms with pharmacokinetics is less clear. To date, the influence of genetic variations on the pharmacokinetics of the increasingly used monoclonal antibodies has hardly been investigated. Some studies indicate that genes encoding the Fcγ-receptor family are of interest, but more research is needed to establish if screening before the start of therapy is beneficial. Considering the profound impact of polymorphisms in drug transporters and drug-metabolizing enzymes on the pharmacokinetics of chemotherapeutic drugs and hence, their toxicity and efficacy, pharmacogenetic and pharmacokinetic profiling should become the standard of care.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (CIN) is one of the major adverse events that necessitate chemotherapy dose reduction. This study aimed to evaluate the association between grade 4 neutropenia and genetic polymorphisms in breast cancer patients. In this genetic polymorphism association study, peripheral blood samples from 100 consecutive breast cancer outpatients, between August 2012 and September 2014, treated with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (AC) combination chemotherapy were genotyped for polymorphisms in adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1), cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme-coding genes (CYP2B6 and CYP3A5), glutathione S-transferase (GST), and excision repair cross-complementing 1 (ERCC1). Associations between grade 4 neutropenia and genotypes as well as risk factors were examined using multivariate logistic regression. From 100 patients, 32.0% had grade 4 neutropenia. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that ERCC1 118C > T (odds ratio [OR], 3.43; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.22-9.69; P = 0.020), CYP2B6*6 (OR, 4.51; 95% CI, 1.21-16.95; P = 0.025), body mass index (BMI) (OR, 6.94; 95% CI, 1.15-41.67; P = 0.035), and baseline white blood cell (WBC) count (OR, 2.99; 95% CI, 1.06-8.40; P = 0.038) were significant predictors of grade 4 neutropenia. ERCC1 and CYP2B6 gene polymorphisms were associated with the extent of grade 4 neutropenia in patients receiving AC chemotherapy. In addition to previously known risk factors, BMI and WBC counts, ERCC1 and CYP2B6 gene polymorphisms were also identified as independent strong predictors of grade 4 neutropenia.

Abstract
During the 3rd congress of the European Society of Pharmacogenomics and Personalised Therapy (ESPT) in Budapest in 2015, a preliminary meeting was held aimed at establishing a pediatric individualized treatment in oncology and hematology committees. The main purpose was to facilitate the transfer and harmonization of pharmacogenetic testing from research into clinics, to bring together basic and translational research and to educate health professionals throughout Europe. The objective of this review was to provide the attendees of the meeting as well as the larger scientific community an insight into the compiled evidence regarding current pharmacogenomics knowledge in pediatric oncology. This preliminary evaluation will help steer the committee’s work and should give the reader an idea at which stage researchers and clinicians are, in terms of personalizing medicine for children with cancer. From the evidence presented here, future recommendations to achieve this goal will also be suggested.

Abstract
Mounting evidence demonstrates that CYP2B6 plays a much larger role in human drug metabolism than was previously believed. The discovery of multiple important substrates of CYP2B6 as well as polymorphic differences has sparked increasing interest in the genetic and xenobiotic factors contributing to the expression and function of the enzyme. The expression of CYP2B6 is regulated primarily by the xenobiotic receptors constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) and pregnane X receptor (PXR) in the liver. In addition to CYP2B6, these receptors also mediate the inductive expression of CYP3A4, and a number of important phase II enzymes and drug transporters. CYP2B6 has been demonstrated to play a role in the metabolism of 2%–10% of clinically used drugs including widely used antineoplastic agents cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide, anesthetics propofol and ketamine, synthetic opioids pethidine and methadone, and the antiretrovirals nevirapine and efavirenz, among others. Significant inter-individual variability in the expression and function of the human CYP2B6 gene exists and can result in altered clinical outcomes in patients receiving treatment with CYP2B6-substrate drugs. These variances arise from a number of sources including genetic polymorphism, and xenobiotic intervention. In this review, we will provide an overview of the key players in CYP2B6 expression and function and highlight recent advances made in assessing clinical ramifications of important CYP2B6-mediated drug–drug interactions.

Abstract
Extensive inter-individual variations in pharmacokinetics are considered as a major reason for unpredictable drug responses. As the most important drug metabolic enzymes, inter-individual variations of cytochrome P450 (CYP) activities are not clear in human liver. In this paper, metabolic activities, gene polymorphisms and protein contents of 10 CYPs were determined in 105 human normal liver microsomes. The results indicated substantial inter-individual variations in CYP activities, with the greatest being CYP2C19 activity (>600-fold). Only half of 10 CYP isoforms and 26 gene polymorphism sites had limited effects on metabolic activities, such as CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4/5, others had almost no effects. Compared with their respective wild type, Km, Vmax, and CLint decreased by 51.6%, 88.7% and 70.7% in CYP2A6*1/*4 genotype, Vmax and CLint decreased by 32.8% and 60.2% in CYP2C9*1/*3 genotype, Km increased by 118.4% and CLint decreased by 65.2% in CYP2D6 100TT genotype, respectively. Moreover, there were only 4 CYP isoforms, CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2E1 and CYP3A5, which had moderate or weak correlations between Vmax values and corresponding contents. In conclusions, the genotypes and contents of some CYPs have only limited effects on metabolic activities, which imply that there are other more important factors to influence inter-individual variations.

Genetic markers in CYP2C19 and CYP2B6 for prediction of cyclophosphamide's 4-hydroxylation, efficacy and side effects in Chinese patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Br J Clin Pharmacol 2015; 81:327-40.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of the study was to investigate the combined impact of genetic polymorphisms in key pharmacokinetic genes on plasma concentrations and clinical outcomes of cyclophosphamide (CPA) in Chinese patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS One hundred and eighty nine Chinese SLE patients treated with CPA induction therapy (200 mg, every other day) were recruited and adverse reactions were recorded. After 4 weeks induction therapy, 128 lupus nephritis (LN) patients continued to CPA maintenance therapy (200-600 mg week(-1)) for 6 months, and their clinical outcomes were recorded. Blood samples were collected for CYP2C19, CYP2B6, GST and PXR polymorphism analysis, as well as CPA and its active metabolite (4-hydroxycyclophosphamide (4-OH-CPA)) plasma concentration determination. RESULTS Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that CYP2B6 -750 T > C (P < 0.001), -2320 T > C (P < 0.001), 15582C > T (P = 0.017), CYP2C19*2 (P < 0.001) and PXR 66034 T > C (P = 0.028) accounted for 47% of the variation in 4-OH-CPA plasma concentration. Among these variants, CYP2B6 -750 T > C and CYP2C19*2 were selected as the combination genetic marker because these two SNPs contributed the most to the inter-individual variability in 4-OH-CPA concentration, accounting for 23.6% and 21.5% of the variation, respectively. Extensive metabolizers (EMs) (CYP2B6 -750TT, CYP2C19*1*1) had significantly higher median 4-OH-CPA plasma concentrations (34.8, 11.0 and 6.6 ng ml(-1) for EMs, intermediate metabolizers (IMs) and poor metabolizers (PMs), P < 0.0001), higher risks of leukocytopenia (OR = 7.538, 95% CI 2.951, 19.256, P < 0.0001) and gastrointestinal toxicity (OR = 7.579, 95% CI 2.934, 19.578, P < 0.0001), as well as shorter median time to achieve complete remission (13.2, 18.3 and 23.3 weeks for EMs, IMs and PMs, respectively, P = 0.026) in LN patients than PMs (CYP2B6 -750CC, CYP2C19*2*2) and IMs. CONCLUSIONS Our findings have indicated that genetic markers of drug metabolizing enzymes could predict the 4-hydroxylation, adverse reactions and clinical efficacy of CPA. This is a necessary first step towards building clinical tools that will help assess clinical benefit and risk before undergoing CPA treatment in Chinese SLE patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In the era of genomic medicine, it is increasingly recognized that ethnogeographic differences in drug pharmacology exist between Asian and other populations. This is particularly pertinent to oncology, where drugs forming the backbone of chemotherapy often have narrow therapeutic windows and are frequently dosed close to maximally tolerable levels. AREAS COVERED At the population level, ancestry is important because historical-biogeographical confluences have shaped population genetics and pharmacoethnicity in the Asian race through allelic differentiation and interethnic differences in inheritance patterns of linkage disequilibrium. At the individual level, cis- and trans-acting germline polymorphisms and somatic mutations in genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters act in a multifactorial manner to determine drug disposition phenotype and clinical response in Asian cancer patients. A growing body of evidence also finds that complex genetic interactions and regulation, including a multiplicity of gene control mechanisms, are increasingly implicated in genotype-phenotype correlates than has hitherto been appreciated--potentially serving as the mechanistic links between hits in non-coding regions of genome-wide association studies and drug toxicity. Together, these genetic factors contribute to the clinical heterogeneity of drug disposition in Asian cancer patients. EXPERT OPINION This topic has broad relevance for the optimization and individualization of anticancer strategies in Asians.

Abstract
The field of pharmacogenomics was initiated in the 1950s and began to thrive after the completion of the human genome project 10 years ago. Thus far, more than 100 drug labels and clinical guidelines referring to pharmacogenomic biomarkers have been published, and several key pharmacogenomic markers for either drug safety or efficacy have been identified and subsequently adopted in clinical practice as pre-treatment genetic tests. However, a tremendous variation of genetic backgrounds exists between different ethnic groups. The application of pharmacogenomics in the Chinese population is still a long way off, since the published guidelines issued by the organizations such as US Food and Drug Administration require further confirmation in the Chinese population. This review highlights important pharmacogenomic discoveries in the Chinese population and compares the Chinese population with other nations regarding the pharmacogenomics of five most commonly used drugs, ie, tacrolimus, cyclosporine A, warfarin, cyclophosphamide and azathioprine.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Breast cancer has benefited from a number of innovative therapeutics over the last decade. Cytotoxics, hormone therapy, targeted therapies and biologics can now be given to ensure optimal management of patients. As life expectancy of breast cancer patients has been significantly stretched and that several lines of treatment are now made available, determining the best drug or drug combinations to be primarily given and the best dosing and scheduling for each patient is critical for ensuring an optimal toxicity/efficacy balance. AREAS COVERED Defining patient's characteristics at the tumor level (pharmacogenomics) and the constitutional level (pharmacogenetics) is a rising trend in oncology. This review covers the latest strategies based upon the search of relevant biomarkers for efficacy, resistance and toxicity to be undertaken at the bedside to shift towards precision medicine in breast cancer patients. EXPERT OPINION In the expanding era of bioguided medicine, identifying relevant and clinically validated biomarkers from the plethora of published material remains an uneasy task. Sorting the variety of genetic and molecular markers that have been investigated over the last decade on their level of evidence and addressing the issue of drug exposure should help to improve the management of breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
First-line therapy of severe aplastic anemia (SAA) with high-dose cyclophosphamide causes toxicity and increased short-term mortality. We investigated cyclophosphamide at a lower, more moderate dose in combination with aggressive supportive care to determine whether severe infections might be avoided and hematologic outcomes defined for this regimen. From 2010 to 2012, 22 patients received cyclophosphamide at 120 mg/kg plus cyclosporine and antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal prophylaxis. Toxicity was considerable, mainly due to prolonged absolute neutropenia, which occurred regardless of pretherapy blood counts, and persisted an average of 2 months. Granulocyte transfusions for uncontrolled infection were required in 5 patients, confirmed fungal infections were documented in 6, and 9 patients died. Nine patients (41%) responded at 6 months. After a median follow-up of 2.2 years, relapse occurred in 2 patients, and cytogenetic abnormalities (including monosomy 7) were observed in 4 patients. Although cyclophosphamide has activity in SAA, its toxicity is not justified when far less dangerous alternatives are available. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01193283.

Abstract
To assess the impact of patient-related factors, including genetic variability in genes involved in the metabolism of chemotherapeutic agents, on breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) and recurrence-free interval (RFI). We selected early breast cancer patients treated between 2000 and 2010 with 4-6 cycles of (neo-)adjuvant 5-fluorouracil, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide (FEC) or 3 cycles FEC followed by 3 cycles docetaxel. Tumor stage/subtype; febrile neutropenia and patient-related factors such as selected single nucleotide polymorphisms and baseline laboratory parameters were evaluated. Multivariable Cox regression was performed. Of 991 patients with a mean follow-up of 5.2 years, 152 (15.3 %) patients relapsed and 63 (6.4 %) patients died. Advanced stage and more aggressive subtype were associated with poorer BCSS and RFI in multivariable analysis (p < 0.0001). Associations with worse BCSS in multivariable analysis were: homozygous carriers of the rs1057910 variant C-allele in CYP2C9 (hazard ratio [HR] 30.4; 95 % confidence interval [CI] 6.1-151.5; p < 0.001) and higher white blood cell count (WBC) (HR 1.2; 95 % CI 1.0-1.3; p = 0.014). The GT genotype of the ABCB1 variant rs2032582 was associated with better BCSS (HR 0.5; 95 % CI 0.3-0.9, p = 0.021). Following associations with worse RFI were observed: higher WBC (HR 1.1; 95 % CI 1.0-1.2; p = 0.026), homozygous carriers of the rs1057910 variant C-allele in CYP2C9 (HR 10.9; 95 % CI 2.5-47.9; p = 0.002), CT genotype of the CYBA variant rs4673 (HR 1.8; 95 % CI 1.2-2.7; p = 0.006), and G-allele homozygosity for the UGT2B7 variant rs3924194 (HR 3.4; 95 % CI 1.2-9.7, p = 0.023). Patient-related factors including genetic variability and baseline white blood cell count, impacted on outcome in early breast cancer.

Abstract
The prodrugs cyclophosphamide (CP) and ifosfamide (IF) each metabolize to an active alkylating agent through a cytochrome P450-mediated oxidation at the C-4 position. Competing with this activation pathway are enzymatic oxidations at the exocyclic α and α' carbons, which result in dechloroethylation of CP and IF. The incidence of oxidation at one position relative to another is believed to be at least one factor underlying the high degree of interpatient variability in both CP and IF pharmacokinetics. As standards for the mass spectrometry quantification of dechloroethylation, the following were synthesized: (1) [4,4,5,5-(2) H4 ]-2-dechloroethylcyclophosphamide (equivalent to [4,4,5,5-(2) H4 ]-3-dechloroethylifosfamide); (2) [α,α,4,4,5,5-(2) H6 ]-2-dechloroethylcyclophosphamide (equivalent to [α,α,4,4,5,5-(2) H6 ]-3-dechloroethylifosfamide); and (3) [α,α,4,4,5,5-(2) H6 ]-2-dechloroethylifosfamide. The common precursor to all of the target compounds was [2,2,3,3-(2) H4 ]-3-aminopropanol. A one-pot reaction of this compound with POCl3 and unlabeled or labeled 2-chloroethylamine hydrochloride gave the d4 and d6 labeled 2-dechloroethylcyclophosphamides. The construction of the 2-dechloroethylifosfamide from the aminopropanol required five discreet steps. Optimization of the synthetic pathways and stability studies are discussed.

CYP2B6 non-coding variation associated with smoking cessation is also associated with differences in allelic expression, splicing, and nicotine metabolism independent of common amino-acid changes. PLoS One 2013; 8:e79700. [PMID: 24260284 PMCID: PMC3829832 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0079700] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2013] [Accepted: 10/04/2013] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
The Cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) enzyme makes a small contribution to hepatic nicotine metabolism relative to CYP2A6, but CYP2B6 is the primary enzyme responsible for metabolism of the smoking cessation drug bupropion. Using CYP2A6 genotype as a covariate, we find that a non-coding polymorphism in CYP2B6 previously associated with smoking cessation (rs8109525) is also significantly associated with nicotine metabolism. The association is independent of the well-studied non-synonymous variants rs3211371, rs3745274, and rs2279343 (CYP2B6*5 and *6). Expression studies demonstrate that rs8109525 is also associated with differences in CYP2B6 mRNA expression in liver biopsy samples. Splicing assays demonstrate that specific splice forms of CYP2B6 are associated with haplotypes defined by variants including rs3745274 and rs8109525. These results indicate differences in mRNA expression and splicing as potential molecular mechanisms by which non-coding variation in CYP2B6 may affect enzymatic activity leading to differences in metabolism and smoking cessation.

Abstract
Efavirenz is mainly cleared by CYP2B6. The CYP2B6*6 allele is associated with lower efavirenz clearance. Efavirenz clearance was predictable using in vitro data for carriers of the CYP2B6*1/*1 genotype, but the prediction in carriers of the CYP2B6*6 allele was poor. To test the hypothesis that incorporation of mechanism of reduced efavirenz metabolism by the CYP2B6*6 allele can predict the genetic effect on efavirenz pharmacokinetics, in vitro-in vivo extrapolation of efavirenz clearance was performed by physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling (Simcyp Simulator; Simcyp Ltd., Sheffield, UK) using data obtained from expressed CYP2B6.1 and CYP2B6.6 as well as human liver microsomes (HLMs) with CYP2B6*1/*1, *1/*6, and *6/*6 genotypes. Simulated pharmacokinetics of a single 600-mg oral dose of efavirenz for individuals with each genotype was compared with data observed in healthy subjects genotyped for the CYP2B6*6 allele (n = 20). Efavirenz clearance for carriers of the CYP2B6*1/*1 genotype was predicted reasonably well using HLM data, but the clearance in carriers of the CYP2B6*6 allele was underpredicted using both expressed and HLM systems. Improved prediction of efavirenz clearance was obtained from expressed CYP2B6 after recalculating intersystem extrapolation factors for CYP2B6.1 and CYP2B6.6 based on in vitro intrinsic clearance of bupropion 4-hydroxylation. These findings suggest that genetic effect on both CYP2B6 protein expression and catalytic efficiency needs to be taken into account for the prediction of pharmacokinetics in individuals carrying the CYP2B6*6/*6 genotype. Expressed CYP2B6 proteins may be a reliable in vitro system to predict effect of the CYP2B6*6 allele on the metabolism of CYP2B6 substrates.

Abstract
The Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) family of enzymes is involved in the oxidative metabolism of many therapeutic drugs, carcinogens and various endogenous substrates. These enzymes are highly polymorphic at an inter-individual and inter-ethnic level. Polymorphisms or genetic variations account for up to 30% of inter-individual differences seen in a variety of drug responses. The frequencies of the different metabolizer categories (slow, intermediate, extensive and ultra-rapid), the distribution of genetic variants, genotype-phenotype correlations and the clinical importance of the CYP450 enzymes have been extensively documented in Caucasian and Oriental populations. Limited data exists for African populations, despite the fact that this knowledge is critically important for these populations who experience a heavy burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases. In addition, the costs incurred through adverse drug reactions and non-responsiveness to therapy could be reduced through the wide-scale application of pharmacogenetics. This review provides an overview and investigation of CYP450 genotypic and phenotypic reports published from 1980 to present in African populations. Our findings confirm the high degree of variability that is expected when comparing individuals of African origin to other ethnic groups and also highlight the distribution of clinically relevant CYP450 alleles amongst the various African populations. The notable discordance in genotypic and phenotypic data amongst African populations exemplifies the need for in-depth and well-orchestrated molecular and pharmacological investigations of these populations in the future, for which whole genome sequencing and association studies will be critical.
