Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting the plasma concentration of monohydroxylated derivative (MHD) of oxcarbazepine (OXC) in children with epilepsy. METHODS We recruited 125 children with epilepsy who received OXC monotherapy. Among them, 16 single nucleotide polymorphisms were detected by MassARRAY genotyping technology to evaluate the influence of related factors on the plasma concentration of OXC monotherapy. MHD is the main active metabolite of OXC, and its plasma concentration was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). RESULTS Bivariate correlation analysis revealed that concentration-dose ratio (CDR) increased with weight, and the corresponding maintenance dose decreased with weight (r=0.317, P=0.001 for CDR; r=-0.285, P=0.000 for OXC maintenance dose). The duration of seizure was found to be associated with CDR (0.90 ± 0.36 vs 0.74 ± 0.26 μg·kg/mg/mL for ≥6 years vs <1 year, P=0.028; 0.90 ± 0.36 vs 0.64 ± 0.21 μg·kg/mg/mL for ≥6 years vs 1-3 years, P=0.004; 0.90 ± 0.36 vs 0.69 ± 0.18 μg·kg/mg/mL for ≥6 years vs 3-6 years, P=0.031). The CDR of patients with ABCB1 rs1045642 mutation homozygous GG type is higher than heterozygous AG type (0.79 ± 0.30 vs 0.68 ± 0.20 μg·kg/mg/mL for AG vs GG, P=0.032). CONCLUSION This study clarified the association of weight, duration of seizure, and gene polymorphisms of ABCB1 rs1045642 with MHD plasma concentration in children with epilepsy.

Abstract
As a chronic brain disease, epilepsy affects ~50 million people worldwide. The traditional antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are widely applied but showing various problems. Although the new AEDs have partially solved the problems of traditional AEDs, the current clinical application of traditional AEDs are not completely replaced by new drugs, particularly due to the large individual differences in drug plasma concentrations and narrow therapeutic windows among patients. Therefore, it is still clinically important to continue to treat patients using traditional AEDs with individualized therapeutic plans. To date, our understanding of the molecular and genetic mechanisms regulating plasma concentrations of AEDs has advanced rapidly, expanding the knowledge on the effects of genetic polymorphisms of genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes on the plasma concentrations of AEDs. It is increasingly imperative to summarize and conceptualize the clinical significance of recent studies on individualized therapeutic regimens. In this review, we extensively summarize the critical effects of genetic polymorphisms of genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes on the plasma concentrations of several commonly used AEDs as well as the clinical significance of testing genotypes related to drug metabolism on individualized drug dosage. Our review provides solid experimental evidence and clinical guidance for the therapeutic applications of these AEDs.

Abstract
Dapagliflozin is an inhibitor of the human renal sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 (SGLT2), first approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Dapagliflozin is primarily metabolized by uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A9 (UGT1A9). The effect of UGT1A9 polymorphisms on dapagliflozin apparent oral clearance (CL/F) was studied with dapagliflozin population pharmacokinetic data and UGT1A9 genotype data (I.399C>T, rs2011404, rs6759892, rs7577677, rs4148323, UGT1A9*2 and UGT1A9*3) from a Phase 2 study conducted in subjects with T2DM (n=187). An ANCOVA model accounting for known covariates influencing dapagliflozin CL/F was applied to these data to quantify the impact of each UGT1A9 polymorphism relative to the wildtype UGT1A9 genotype. The analysis showed that the geometric mean ratio of dapagliflozin CL/F for all of the UGT1A9 polymorphisms studied were within the range of wildtype UGT1A9 CL/F values. Consequently, the polymorphisms of UGT1A9 studied had no clinically meaningful impact on the CL/F of dapagliflozin.

Abstract
Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is a common immunosuppressive drug for kidney transplantation patients, and is characterized by a narrow therapeutic index and significant individual variability. UGTs are the main enzymes responsible for the metabolism of MPA. Although, many studies have focused on the relationship between UGT polymorphisms and pharmacokinetics and adverse reactions of MPA, the conclusion are controversial. We reviewed the relevant literature and summarized the significant influences of UGT polymorphisms, such as UGT1A8 (rs1042597, rs17863762), UGT1A9 (rs72551330, rs6714486, rs17868320, rs2741045, rs2741045) and UGT2B7 (rs7438135, rs7439366, rs7662029), on the pharmacokinetics of MPA and its metabolites and adverse reactions. The review provides a reference for guiding the individualized administration of MPA and reducing adverse reactions to MPA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the kinetics of the formation of 10,11-dihydro-10-hydroxy-carbazepine (MHD)-O-glucuronide in human liver microsomes (HLMs), human intestine microsomes (HIMs), human kidney microsomes (HKMs) and recombinant human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGTs), and identify the primary UGT isoforms catalyzing the glucuronidation of MHD. METHODS The kinetics of the glucuronidation of MHD was determined in HLMs, HIMs as well as HKMs. Screening assays with 13 recombinant human UGTs, inhibition studies and correlation analysis were performed to identify the main UGTs involved in the glucuronidation of MHD. KEY FINDINGS MHD-O-glucuronide was formed in HLMs, HIMs as well as HKMs, HLMs showed the highest intrinsic clearance of MHD. Among 13 recombinant human UGTs, UGT2B7 and UGT1A9 were identified to be the principal UGT isoforms mediating the glucuronidation of MHD, while UGT1A4 played a partial role. In addition, inhibition studies and correlation analysis further confirmed that UGT2B7 and UGT1A9 participated in the formation of MHD-O-glucuronide. CONCLUSIONS MHD could be metabolized by UGTs in the liver, intestine and kidney, and the hepatic glucuronidation was the critical metabolic pathway. UGT2B7 and UGT1A9 were the primary UGT isoforms mediating the formation of MHD-O-glucuronide in the liver.

Abstract
Background: There are differences in pharmacokinetic of mycophenolic acid among individuals. The UGT1A9 enzyme is of special interest since it is the main enzyme involved in the glucuronidation of MPA. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the UGT1A9 gene may be responsible for individual differences in the pharmacokinetics of MPA. The aim of this study was to explain MPA pharmacokinetics in UGT1A9 1399 C > T polymorphisms in Turkish renal transplant patients. Patients and methods: One hundred and twenty-five living-donor transplant recipients and 100 healthy control subjects underwent UGT1A9 1399 C > T genotyping using polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism. Concentrations of MPA were determined with Cloned Enzyme Donor Immunoassay (CEDIA). Besides that, all the patients were monitored for acute rejection and graft function during the study period. Results: The UGT1A9 1399 C > T CC, CT, and TT genotype frequencies among patients were, respectively, 68.0%, 23.2%, and 8.8%. The CC, CT, and TT genotype frequencies among controls were, respectively, 63.0%, 23.0%, and 14.0%. There was no significant difference between patients and controls (p = .480, p = .999, p = .286, respectively). At first month, respectively, through blood concentrations of MPA were significantly higher in UGT1A9 1399 C > T TT carriers than in CT and CC carriers (p = .046). The doses for these patients were lower at first month (p = .021). Acute rejection episodes were not associated with the CC vs CT or TT genotypes (p = .064). Conclusions: Our results demonstrated a correlation between the UGT1A9 1399 C > T polymorphism and MPA pharmacokinetics among renal transplant patients. Determination of UGT1A9 polymorphism may help to achieve target of MPA blood concentrations.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate genetic variants affecting mycophenolic acid (MPA) metabolism in Chinese renal transplant recipients. METHODS Total 11 SNPs of UGT1A9, UGT1A8, UGT2B7, ABCC2, ABCG2 and SLCO1B3 were genotyped in 408 Chinese renal transplant recipients. Associations between SNPs and MPA concentration/dose ratio (C0/D) were analyzed using different genetic models. Multivariate linear regression was used to analyze associations between log (C0/D) and clinical factors. Results: After adjustment by clinical factors, UGT2B7 rs7662029 was associated with log (C0/D) using a dominant (p = 0.041) and an additive (p = 0.038) model, ABCC2 rs717620 was associated with log (C0/D) using a recessive model (p = 0.019). Using additive model, SNP-SNP interactions were identified (p = 0.002) between ABCC2 rs717620 and UGT1A9 rs2741049, with interactions (p = 0.002) between ABCC2 rs717620 and UGT1A8 rs1042597. Age, albumin and serum creatinine were associated with log (C0/D). CONCLUSION rs7662029 and rs717620 may affect MPA pharmacokinetics. SNP-SNP interactions and clinical factors may have significant effects on MPA metabolism.

Abstract
We present a novel multiplex assay for the simultaneous detection of 12 polymorphisms within the UGT1A9 sequence, which codes for enzymes involved in phase II biotransformation. The assay combines a multiplexed amplification step with single-base extension sequencing. The method described here is fast, cost-effective, and easy-to-use, combining the relevant features of screening methods for research and diagnostics in pharmacogenetics. To validate the assay, we tested reproducibility and sensitivity and analysed allele frequencies of 110 Caucasian individuals. Furthermore, we describe combining genetic information of individuals consuming Cannabis sativa products with respective plasma concentrations of a metabolite.

Abstract
Valproic acid (VPA) is a first-line anti-epileptic drug that is used in the treatment of generalized and partial seizures. Gene variants had been proved to influence the pharmacokinetics (PK) of VPA and contribute to its inter-individual variability (IIV). The aim of this study was to systematically investigate the effects of candidate gene variants (CYPs, UGTs, ABC transporters, and nuclear receptors) on VPA PK in Chinese children with epilepsy. A total of 1065 VPA serum trough concentrations at steady state were collected from 264 epileptic pediatric patients aged 3 months to 16 years. The population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model was developed using a nonlinear mixed effects modelling (NONMEM) approach. For the final PPK model, the oral clearance (CL/F) of VPA was estimated to be 0.259 L/h with IIV of 13.3%. The estimates generated by NONMEM indicated that the VPA CL/F was significantly influenced by patient body weight (increased by an exponent of 0.662), co-administration with carbamazepine (increased CL/F by 22%), and daily dose of VPA (increased by an exponent of 0.22). CL/F in patients with the LEPR rs1137101 variant (668 AG and GG genotypes) was much lower than in patients with the AA genotype (17.8% and 22.6% lower, respectively). However, none of the CYPs or UGTs gene variants was found to influence the PK of VPA in this study. Evaluation by bootstrap and normalized prediction distribution error (NPDE) showed that the final model was stable. The predictive performance was evaluated by goodness-of-fit (GOF) plots and visual predictive checks (VPC), and the results indicated satisfactory precision. Our model suggests a correlation between VPA CL/F and LEPR rs1137101 variants, which might be beneficial in the context of individual dose optimization.

Abstract
The purpose of this clinical trial was to evaluate the efficacy of 2-year consolidation therapy using nilotinib (NIL) for achieving a molecular response (MR4.5, BCR-ABL1IS ≤ 0.0032% on the International Scale) in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in the chronic phase (CML-CP) who had achieved a major molecular response (MMR, BCR-ABL1IS ≤ 0.1%) with imatinib (IM). We recruited 76 Japanese patients for this trial. Nilotinib 300 mg, twice daily, was administered for 2 years, and 74 patients were evaluated in the study. The median age was 55.0 years. The median duration of IM treatment was 69.0 months. All patients showed MMR at the time of entry into the study; the median time to MMR on IM therapy was 20.4 months. The proportion of patients who achieved MR4.5 increased over time. The rates of MR4.5 in the 74 evaluable patients were 27.0% [90% confidence interval (CI) (18.7-36.8%)] and 44.6% [90% CI (34.7-54.8%)] at 12 and 24 months, respectively. The frequency of ABCG2 421C/A + A/A was an independent predictive biomarker for achieving a 24-month MR4.5. Switching to NIL led to safer, deeper molecular responses in patients with MMR on long-term IM therapy for future treatment-free remission.

Impact of clinical factors and UGT1A9 and CYP2B6 genotype on inter-individual differences in propofol pharmacokinetics. J Anesth 2018; 32:236-243. [PMID: 29468507 DOI: 10.1007/s00540-018-2470-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2017] [Accepted: 02/17/2018] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Propofol is one of the most widely used fast-acting intravenously administered anesthetics. However, although large inter-individual differences in dose requirements and recovery time have been observed, there are few previous studies in which the association between several potential covariates, including genetic factors such as the UGT1A9 and CYP2B6 genotypes, and propofol pharmacokinetics was simultaneously examined. This study aimed to identify factors determining propofol pharmacokinetics. METHODS Eighty-three patients were enrolled, and their blood samples were collected 1, 5, 10, and 15 min after administering a single intravenous bolus of propofol at a dose of 2.0 ml/kg to measure propofol plasma concentration. Area under the time-plasma concentration curve from zero up to the last measurable time point (AUC15min) was determined from the concentration data. The inter-individual variability of the propofol pharmacokinetics was evaluated by investigating relationships between AUC15min and genotype of UGT1A9 and CYP2B6; clinical factors, such as age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and preoperative hematological examination; and hemodynamic variables measured by a pulse dye densitogram analyzer. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient and the Mann-Whitney U test were used for the statistical analysis of continuous and categorical values, respectively. Subsequently, clinical factors that had p values of < 0.05 in the univariate analysis were examined in a multivariate analysis using multiple linear regression analysis. RESULTS Age, BMI, indocyanine green disappearance ratio (K-ICG), hepatic blood flow (HBF), preoperative hemoglobin level, and sex were correlated with AUC15min (p < 0.05) in univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis performed to adjust for age, BMI, K-ICG, HBF, preoperative hemoglobin level, and sex revealed only BMI as an independent factor associated with AUC15min. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that BMI influences propofol pharmacokinetics after its administration as a single intravenous injection, while UGT1A9 and CYP2B6 SNPs, other clinical factors, and hemodynamic variables do not. These results suggest that BMI is an independent factor associated with propofol pharmacokinetics in several potential covariates.

Abstract
This case report describes a 71-year-old woman who experienced unusual delayed emergence from propofol, which lasted for 3 hours and resulted in admission to the intensive care unit. Because genetic variations of propofol-metabolizing enzymes are proposed to be causal factors, we explored genetic polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) and uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase 1A9 (UGT1A9). Suggested high-risk factors (advanced age, CYP2B6 516 G/T, and UGT1A9 I399 C/C) were observed in this case of delayed propofol metabolism. Therefore, genetic variants involved in propofol metabolism should be considered in unexplained delayed emergence.

Abstract
AIM The human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase which is genetically polymorphic catalyzes glucuronidations of various drugs. The interactions among UGT1A4, UGT1A6, UGT1A9, and UGT2B15 genetic polymorphisms, monohydroxylated derivative (MHD) of oxcarbazepine (OXC) plasma concentrations, and OXC monotherapeutic efficacy were explored in 124 Chinese patients with epilepsy receiving OXC monotherapy. METHOD MHD is the major active metabolite of OXC, and its plasma concentration was measured using high-performance liquid chromatography when patients reached their maintenance dose of OXC. Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood and SNP genotyping performed using PCR followed by dideoxy chain termination sequencing. We followed the patients for at least 1 year to evaluate the OXC monotherapy efficacy. Patients were divided into two groups according to their therapeutic outcome: group 1, seizure free; group 2, not seizure free. The data were analyzed using T test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Kruskal-Wallis test, chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, correlation analysis, and multivariate regression analysis. RESULT T test analysis showed that MHD plasma concentrations were significantly different between the two groups (p = 0.002). One-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc testing of four candidate SNPs revealed that carriers of the UGT1A9 variant allele I399 C > T (TT 13.28 ± 7.44 mg/L, TC 16.41 ± 6.53 mg/L) had significantly lower MHD plasma concentrations and poorer seizure control than noncarriers (CC 22.24 ± 8.49 mg/L, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION In our study, we have demonstrated the effects of UGT1A9 genetic polymorphisms on MHD plasma concentrations and OXC therapeutic efficacy. Through MHD monitoring, we can predict OXC therapeutic efficacy, which may be useful for the personalization of OXC therapy in epileptic patients.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the effects of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetics of the immunosuppressant mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) in Chinese renal transplant recipients. METHODS A total of 127 renal transplant patients receiving MMF were genotyped for polymorphisms in UGT1A9 -1818T>C, I399C>T, -118T9/10, -440C>T, -331T>C, UGT2B7 IVS1+985A>G, 211G>T, -900A>G, UGT1A8 518C>G and UGT1A7 622T>C. The plasma concentrations of the MMF active moiety mycophenolic acid (MPA) and main metabolite 7-O-MPA-glucuronide (MPAG) were analyzed using HPLC. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to assess the effects of UGT-related gene polymorphisms on MPA pharmacokinetics. RESULTS The dose-adjusted MPA AUC0-12 h of the patients with the UGT2B7 IVS1+985AG genotype was 48% higher than that of the patients with the IVS1+985AA genotype, which could explain 11.2% of the inter-individual variation in MPA pharmacokinetics. The dose-adjusted MPAG AUC0-12 h of the patients with the UGT1A7 622CC and UGT1A9 -440CT/-331TC genotypes, respectively, was significantly higher than that of the patients with 622T homozygotes and -440C/-331T homozygotes. Furthermore, the genotypes UGT1A9 -1818T>C and UGT1A8 518C>G were associated with a low dose-adjusted MPAG AUC0-12 h. CONCLUSION The UGT2B7 11+985A>G genotype is associated with the pharmacokinetics of MPA in Chinese renal transplant patients, which demonstrates the usefulness of this SNP for individualizing MMF dosing.

Abstract
The risk of severe irinotecan-induced neutropenia has been shown to be related to the UGT1 variant UGT1A1*28, which increases exposure to the potent metabolite SN-38. Our goal was to identify a novel UGT1 marker(s) using 28 haplotype-tagged single nucleotide polymorphisms genotyped by mass spectrometry. By characterizing the UGT1 sequence from a cohort of 167 Canadian metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients and a validation cohort of 250 Italian mCRC patients, we found rs11563250G, located in the intergenic region downstream of UGT1, to be significantly associated with reduced risk of severe neutropenia (odds ratio (OR)=0.21; P=0.043 and OR=0.27; P=0.036, respectively, and OR=0.31 when combined; P=0.001), which remained significant upon correction for multiple testing in the combined cohort (P=0.041). For the two-marker haplotype rs11563250G and UGT1A1*1 (rs8175347 TA6), the OR was of 0.17 (P=0.0004). Genetic testing of this marker may identify patients who might benefit from increased irinotecan dosing.

Abstract
The compound 20-HETE is involved in numerous physiological functions, including blood pressure and platelet aggregation. Glucuronidation of 20-HETE by UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) is thought to be a primary pathway of 20-HETE elimination in humans. The present study identified major UGT enzymes responsible for 20-HETE glucuronidation and investigated their genetic influence on the glucuronidation reaction using human livers (n = 44). Twelve recombinant UGTs were screened to identify major contributors to 20-HETE glucuronidation. Based on these results, UGT2B7, UGT1A9, and UGT1A3 exhibited as major contributors to 20-HETE glucuronidation. The Km values of 20-HETE glucuronidation by UGT1A3, UGT1A9, and UGT2B7 were 78.4, 22.2, and 14.8 μM, respectively, while Vmax values were 1.33, 1.78, and 1.62 nmol/min/mg protein, respectively. Protein expression levels and genetic variants of UGT1A3, UGT1A9, and UGT2B7 were analyzed in human livers using Western blotting and genotyping, respectively. Glucuronidation of 20-HETE was significantly correlated with the protein levels of UGT2B7 (r(2) = 0.33, P < 0.001) and UGT1A9 (r(2) = 0.31, P < 0.001), but not UGT1A3 (r(2) = 0.02, P > 0.05). A correlation between genotype and 20-HETE glucuronidation revealed that UGT2B7 802C>T, UGT1A9 -118T9>T10, and UGT1A9 1399T>C significantly altered 20-HETE glucuronide formation (P < 0.05-0.001). Increased levels of 20-HETE comprise a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, and the present data may increase our understanding of 20-HETE metabolism and cardiovascular complications.

Abstract
AIM 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38), the active metabolite of irinotecan, is mainly eliminated hepatically through glucuronidation by UGT1A1 and UGT1A9 enzymes. This study comprehensively investigates the effects of UGT1A1 and UGT1A9 genetic polymorphism on SN-38 glucuronidation activity. MATERIALS & METHODS Genetic polymorphisms and combinational haplotypes of UGT1A1 and UGT1A9, SN-38 glucuronidation activities, and protein levels of UGT1A1 and UGT1A9 were determined using a set of over 45 Chinese livers. RESULTS UGT1A1 reduced function variants UGT1A1*6, *28, *60 and *1B exhibited additive effect. The number of UGT1A1 reduced function alleles was associated with decreased SN-38G formation rates and UGT1A protein levels. UGT1A9 I399C>T and UGT1A9*1b, which were highly linked, were associated with increased SN-38 glucuronidation activity and UGT1A protein levels. However, further analysis based on UGT1A9-1A1 haplotypes confirmed that their increased effect was partly due to their close linkage with UGT1A1 reduced function alleles. CONCLUSION UGT1A1 genetic polymorphisms have a more important function in human liver SN-38 glucuronidation activity than UGT1A9.

Abstract
Background Nilotinib is a second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor that exhibits significant efficacy as first- or second-line treatment in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). We conducted a multicenter Phase II Clinical Trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of nilotinib among Japanese patients with imatinib-resistant or -intolerant CML-chronic phase (CP) or accelerated phase (AP). Results We analyzed 49 patients (33 imatinib-resistant and 16 imatinib-intolerant) treated with nilotinib 400 mg twice daily. The major molecular response (MMR) rate was 47.8% at 12 months among 35 patients who did not demonstrate an MMR at study entry. Somatic BCR-ABL1 mutations (Y253H, I418V, and exon 8/9 35-bp insertion [35INS]) were detected in 3 patients at 12 months or upon discontinuation of nilotinib. Although 75.5% of patients were still being treated at 12 months, nilotinib treatment was discontinued because of progressing disease in 1 patient, insufficient effect in 2, and adverse events in 9. There was no statistically significant correlation between MMR and trough concentrations of nilotinib. Similarly, no correlation was observed between trough concentrations and adverse events, except for pruritus and hypokalemia. Hyperbilirubinemia was frequently observed (all grades, 51.0%; grades 2–4, 29%; grades 3–4, 4.1%). Hyperbilirubinemia higher than grade 2 was significantly associated with the uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT)1A9 I399C/C genotype (P = 0.0086; Odds Ratio, 21.2; 95% Confidence Interval 2.2–208.0). Conclusions Nilotinib was efficacious and well tolerated by patients with imatinib-resistant or -intolerant CML-CP/AP. Hyperbilirubinemia may be predicted before nilotinib treatment, and may be controlled by reducing the daily dose of nilotinib in patients with UGT1A9 polymorphisms.

Abstract
In recent years, exceptional progress has been observed in pharmacogenetics, i.e. investigations of inherited conditioning of the organism's response to drugs or xenobiotics. On the other hand, modern molecular biology techniques have been implemented, making it possible to perform studies determining the involvement of genetic factors in differing responses to agents employed in general anaesthesia. Unexpected and incorrect response of the organism to the administration of specific anaesthetics is most commonly associated with a genetic defect of the metabolic pathway of a given agent or its receptor. The majority of agents used in anaesthesia are metabolised in the liver by the cytochrome P450 superfamily enzymes (CYPs) and phase II drug-metabolising enzymes: glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), sulphotransferases (SULTs), UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) and NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1). Propofol is presently widely used for gastrointestinal (GI) and several other procedures. Among genes associated with metabolism of the most commonly applied anaesthetics such as propofol and sevoflurane, the following ones can be mentioned: CYP2E1, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, GSTP1, UGT1A9, SULT1A1 and NQO1. Moreover, the basic mechanism of propofol action involves its interaction with an ionotropic receptor GABAA inhibiting transfer of nerve impulses. Molecular studies have shown that polymorphic changes in GABRG2 receptor gene turn out to be important in the propofol anaesthesia. Planning of optimal anaesthesia can be considerably assisted by the determination of genetic factors of prognostic value taking advantage of genotyping and making it possible to select anaesthetics and reduce risk of side effects as well as undesirable actions.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) is responsible for the initial biotransformation of profol, an extensively metabolized intravenous anesthetic. In this study we examined the effect of the apparently functional CYP2B6 c.516G>T polymorphism on the distribution of propofol concentrations, quantified by GC/MS analysis following a single bolus dose, in the blood of 44 Greek women undergoing oocyte retrieval. Univariate analysis using age, height, weight and smoking status as covariates, as well as the Mann-Whitney non-parametric test, revealed a strong trend of association of the T allele with high propofol concentrations determined in whole blood, shortly after a single bolus dose. Propofol concentrations which were higher than one standard deviation of the mean were almost invariably associated with carriage of the T allele.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Interindividual variability in glucuronidation of bilirubin and drugs by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) is considerable and only partially explained by genetic polymorphisms and enzyme inducers. Here we determined whether a well-known epigenetic modification, cytosine methylation, explains a proportion of this variability in human liver. METHODS UGT1A1 phenotypes, including UGT1A1 protein and bilirubin glucuronidation, and UGT1A1*28 genotype were determined using a human liver bank (n = 46). Methylation levels were quantified at 5 CpG sites associated with known transcription factor response elements in the UGT1A1 promoter and distal enhancer, as well as a CpG-rich island 1.5 kb further upstream. KEY FINDINGS Individual CpG sites showed considerable methylation variability between livers, ranging from 10- to 29-fold variation with average methylation levels from 25 to 41%. Multivariate regression analysis identified *28/*28 genotype, -4 CpG site methylation and alcohol history as significant predictors of UGT1A1 protein content. Exclusion of livers with *28/*28 genotype or alcohol history revealed positive correlations of -4 CpG methylation with bilirubin glucuronidation (R = 0.73, P < 0.00001) and UGT1A1 protein content (R = 0.54, P = 0.008). CONCLUSION These results suggest that differential methylation of the -4 CpG site located within a known USF response element may explain a proportion of interindividual variability in hepatic glucuronidation by UGT1A1.

Abstract
PURPOSE Several case reports suggest sorafenib exposure and sorafenib-induced hyperbilirubinemia may be related to a (TA)(5/6/7) repeat polymorphism in UGT1A1*28 (UGT, uridine glucuronosyl transferase). We hypothesized that sorafenib inhibits UGT1A1 and individuals carrying UGT1A1*28 and/or UGT1A9 variants experience greater sorafenib exposure and greater increase in sorafenib-induced plasma bilirubin concentration. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Inhibition of UGT1A1-mediated bilirubin glucuronidation by sorafenib was assessed in vitro. UGT1A1*28 and UGT1A9*3 genotypes were ascertained with fragment analysis or direct sequencing in 120 cancer patients receiving sorafenib on five different clinical trials. Total bilirubin measurements were collected in prostate cancer patients before receiving sorafenib (n = 41) and 19 to 30 days following treatment and were compared with UGT1A1*28 genotype. RESULTS Sorafenib exhibited mixed-mode inhibition of UGT1A1-mediated bilirubin glucuronidation (IC(50) = 18 μmol/L; K(i) = 11.7 μmol/L) in vitro. Five patients carrying UGT1A1*28/*28 (n = 4) or UGT1A9*3/*3 (n = 1) genotypes had first dose, dose-normalized areas under the sorafenib plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) that were in the 93rd percentile, whereas three patients carrying UGT1A1*28/*28 had AUCs in the bottom quartile of all genotyped patients. The Drug Metabolizing Enzymes and Transporters genotyping platform was applied to DNA obtained from six patients, which revealed the ABCC2-24C>T genotype cosegregated with sorafenib AUC phenotype. Sorafenib exposure was related to plasma bilirubin increases in patients carrying 1 or 2 copies of UGT1A1*28 alleles (n = 12 and n = 5; R(2) = 0.38 and R(2) = 0.77; P = 0.032 and P = 0.051, respectively). UGT1A1*28 carriers showed two distinct phenotypes that could be explained by ABCC2-24C>T genotype and are more likely to experience plasma bilirubin increases following sorafenib if they had high sorafenib exposure. CONCLUSIONS This pilot study indicates that genotype status of UGT1A1, UGT1A9, and ABCC2 and serum bilirubin concentration increases reflect abnormally high AUC in patients treated with sorafenib.

Abstract
Though current knowledge of pharmacogenetic factors relevant to drug metabolism is fairly comprehensive and this should facilitate translation to the clinic, there are a number of gaps in knowledge. Recent studies using both conventional and novel approaches have added to our knowledge of pharmacogenetics of drug metabolism. Genome-wide association studies have provided new insights into the major contribution of cytochromes P450 to response to therapeutic agents such as coumarin anticoagulants and clopidogrel as well as to caffeine and nicotine. Recent advances in understanding of factors affecting gene expression, both regulation by transcription factors and by microRNA and epigenetic factors, have added to understanding of variation in expression of genes such as CYP3A4 and CYP2E1. The implementation of testing for pharmacogenetic polymorphisms in prescription of selected anticancer drugs and cardiovascular agents is considered in detail, with current controversies and barriers to implementation of pharmacogenetic testing assessed. Though genotyping for thiopurine methyltransferase is now common prior to prescription of thiopurines, genotyping for other pharmacogenetic polymorphisms prior to drug prescription remains uncommon. However, it seems likely that it will become more widespread as both increased evidence that certain pharmacogenetic tests are valuable and cost-effective and more accessible genotyping methods become available.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Large inter-individual and inter-ethnic differences are observed in efficacies and toxicities of medical drugs. To improve the predictability of these differences, pharmacogenetic information has been applied to clinical situations. Expanding pharmacogenetic information would be a valuable tool to the medical community as well as the patient to fulfill the promise of personalized anticancer drug therapy. AREAS COVERED This review highlights genetic polymorphisms and ethnic differences of genes, UGT1As, CYP3A4, CES1As, ABCB1, ABCC2, ABCG2, SLCO1B1, CDA and CYP2D6, involved in metabolism and disposition of three anticancer drugs: irinotecan, gemcitabine and tamoxifen. EXPERT OPINION Recent pharmacogenetic studies have successfully identified distinct ethnic differences in genetic polymorphisms that are potentially involved in efficacies and toxicities of anticancer drugs. This achievement has led to personalized irinotecan therapy, reflecting ethnic differences in UGT1A1 genotypes, and possible benefits of genetic testing have also been suggested for gemcitabine and tamoxifen therapy, which still requires further validation. The ultimate goal for patients is a high rate or even perfect prediction of efficacies and toxicities of anticancer drugs in each ethnic population. For this challenge, more clinical studies combined with comprehensive omics approaches are necessary to further advance the field.

Abstract
Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is a worldwide used analgesic and antipyretic drug. It is metabolised via several metabolic pathways, including glucuronidation, sulfation, oxidation, hydroxylation, and deacetylation: Hepatic and other organ damage may occur, especially in overdose, because of the accumulation of a toxic metabolite. Intersubject and ethnic differences have been reported in paracetamol metabolism activation, suggesting possible differences in susceptibility to toxicity and in pain alleviation, linked to different pharmacogenetic profiles. This article aims at reviewing, in the literature, the links between paracetamol metabolism and enzyme genotypes in the context of toxic side effects and efficacy of paracetamol in therapeutics.

Abstract
Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is mainly glucuronized by uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) into the phenolic MPA glucuronide (MPAG). MPAG is excreted by transporters such as organic anion-transporting polypeptide (gene SLCO), multidrug resistance protein 2 (gene ABCC2), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP, gene ABCG2) or P-glycoprotein (gene ABCB1). This study investigated the association of UGTs, SLCOs, ABCB1, ABCC2, and ABCG2 polymorphisms with MPAG pharmacokinetics in 80 Japanese renal transplant recipients. Eighty recipients were given repeated doses of combination immunosuppressive therapy consisting of mycophenolate mofetil and tacrolimus every 12 hours at a designated time (0900 and 2100). On day 28, after renal transplantation, plasma concentrations of MPA and MPAG were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. There were no significant differences in the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) ratio of MPAG/MPA between UGT1A1, UGT1A6, UGT1A7, UGT1A8, and UGT1A9 I399C/T genotypes. On the other hand, the median dose-adjusted AUC0-12 of MPAG in SLCO1B1 1a/1a+1a/1b+1b+1b (n = 53) and 1a/*15 + 1b/*15+*15/*15 (n = 27) were 1549 and 1134 mg.h L g, respectively (P = 0.03004 in multivariate analysis). The median dose-adjusted AUC0-12 of MPAG in SLCO1B3 334T/T+T/G (699G/G+G/A, n = 46) and 334G/G (699A/A, n = 34) was 1191 and 1580 mg.h L g, respectively (P = 0.02792 in multivariate analysis). There were no significant differences in the dose-adjusted AUC0-12 of MPAG between the ABCB1 C3435T and ABCC2 C-24T genotypes. However, the dose-adjusted AUC0-12 of MPAG was significantly lower in recipients with ABCG2 421C/A+A/A (n = 44) than in those with C/C (n = 36) (P = 0.0295). In conclusion, our findings showed that MPAG pharmacokinetics were significantly influenced by SLCO1B1 and SLCO1B3 polymorphisms and not by UGT polymorphisms. BCRP rather than multidrug resistance protein 2 seems to be the transporter associated with biliary excretion of MPAG.

Abstract
Recent developments in a number of molecular profiling technologies, including genomic/genetic testing, proteomic profiling and metabolomic analysis have allowed the development of 'personalized medicine'. Irinotecan is one of the models for personalized medicine based on pharmacogenetics, and a number of clinical studies have revealed significant associations between UGT1A1*28 and irinotecan toxicity. Based on this cumulative evidence, the US FDA and pharmaceutical companies revised the irinotecan label in June 2005. However, a recommended strategy for irinotecan-dose adjustments based on individual genetic factors has not yet been fully established. This article provides an overview of recent progress in irinotecan pharmacogenetics and discusses the clinical significance of the UGT1A1 genotype/haplotype with regard to severe irinotecan toxicity.

Abstract
The human liver bank has provided an invaluable model system for the study of interindividual variability in expression and activity of the major hepatic UGTs, including UGT1A1, 1A4, 1A6, 1A9, 2B7, and 2B15. Based on studies using UGT-isoform-selective probes, the rank order of activity variability is UGT 1A1>1A6>2B15>1A4 = 1A9>2B7, with coefficient of variation values ranging from 92 to 45%. Liver donor age, sex, enzyme inducers, and genetic polymorphism are factors that have been implicated as sources of this variability in UGT activity. The expression of UGTs prior to, and immediately following, birth is quite limited, explaining the susceptibility of neonates to certain drug toxicities. Old age appears to have minimal effect on UGT function. Sex differences in UGT activity are relatively small and are confined to several UGTs, including UGT2B15, which shows higher activity in males, compared with females. Enzyme inducers, including coadministered drugs, smoking, and alcohol, may increase hepatic UGT levels. Human liver bank phenotype-genotype studies, using UGT-isoform-selective probes have identified common genetic polymorphisms that are predictive of glucuronidation activity in vitro and that were subsequently verified as predictors of probe-drug clearance by glucuronidation in vivo.

Abstract
Pharmacogenetics aims to elucidate how genetic variation affects the efficacy and side effects of drugs, with the ultimate goal of personalizing medicine. Clinical studies of the genetic variation in the uridine 5'-diphosphoglucuronosyltransferase gene have demonstrated how reduced-function allele variants can predict the risk of severe toxicity and help identify cancer patients who could benefit from reduced-dose schedules or alternative chemotherapy. Candidate polymorphisms have also been identified in vitro, although the functional consequences of these variants still need to be tested in the clinical setting. Future approaches in uridine 5'-diphosphoglucuronosyltransferase pharmacogenetics include genetic testing prior to drug treatment, genotype-directed dose-escalation studies, study of genetic variation at the haplotype level and genome-wide studies.

Abstract
Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is a cornerstone immunosuppressant therapy in solid organ transplantation. MPA is metabolized by uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase to inactive 7-O-MPA-glucuronide (MPAG). At least three minor metabolites are also formed, including a pharmacologically active acyl-glucuronide. MPA and MPAG are subject to enterohepatic recirculation. Biliary excretion of MPA/MPAG involves several transporters, including organic anion transporting polypeptides and multidrug resistant protein-2 (MRP-2). MPA metabolites are also excreted via the kidney, at least in part by MRP-2. MPA exerts its immunosuppressive effect through the inhibition of inosine-5-monophosphate dehydrogenase. Several SNPs have been identified in the genes encoding for uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase, organic anion transporting polypeptides, MRP-2 and inosine-5-monophosphate dehydrogenase. This article provides an extensive overview of the known effects of these SNPs on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of MPA.

Abstract
Irinotecan [Camptosar (CPT-11), Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, New York, USA] is one of the most effective chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. In vivo, the prodrug CPT-11 is biotransformed by carboxylesterase into its active metabolite SN-38. SN-38 is inactivated by uridine disphosphate glucuronosyl transferase 1 (UGT1A1) into the inactive compound SN-38G, which is excreted with the bile.This review concentrates on a critical evaluation of UGT1A1 gene polymorphism as a predictor of toxicity and treatment efficacy in patients who received irinotecan for metastatic colorectal cancer. Irinotecan is explained with its main toxicities as well as the underlying mechanisms. The enzyme UGT1A1 is shown in the context of other metabolic pathways and different UGT enzymes involved. We will review in detail the controversy of the current literature with regard to the significance of identifying patients carrying the homozygous genotype UGT1A1 28. Racial differences concerning UGT enzymes have to be considered when discussing a pragmatic approach to determine gene polymorphisms as a predictor of treatment efficacy and outcome in patients receiving irinotecan-based chemotherapy. Dose dependency of toxicity and the clinical relevance of various UGT1 enzymes and single nucleotide polymorphisms in different alternative metabolic pathways are clarified to put UGT1A1 genotyping in a broad context with additional and competing strategies of patient-tailored therapy.

Fenofibric acid (FA), the active moiety of fenofibrate, is an agonist of the peroxisome proliferator-activated nuclear receptor alpha that modulates triglyceride and cholesterol profiles. Lipid response to fenofibrate and FA serum concentrations is highly variable. Although FA is reported to be almost exclusively inactivated by UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) into FA-glucuronide (FA-G), the contribution of UGT isoenzymes has never been systematically assessed. Heterologously expressed human UGT1A and UGT2B and their coding variants were tested for FA glucuronidation using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Recombinant UGT2B7 presented the highest V(max)/K(m) value (2.10 microl/min/mg), 16-fold higher than the activity of other reactive UGTs, namely, UGT1A3, UGT1A6, and UGT1A9 (0.13, 0.09, and 0.02 microl/min/mg, respectively). UGT2B7.1 (His(268)) and UGT2B7.2 (Tyr(268)) enzyme activity was similar, whereas UGT1A3.2 (R(11)A(47)), UGT1A3.3 (Trp(11)), and UGT1A9.3 (Thr(33)) showed 61 to 96% reduced V(max)/K(m) values compared with the respective (1) reference proteins. FA-G formation by a human liver bank (n = 48) varied by 10-fold, but the rate of formation was not associated with common genetic variations in UGT1A3, UGT1A6, UGT1A9, and UGT2B7. Correlation with activities for the probe substrates zidovudine (UGT2B7; r(2) = 0.75), mycophenolic acid (UGT1A9; r(2) = 0.42), fulvestrant (UGT1A3; r(2) = 0.36), but not serotonin (UGT1A6; r(2) = 0.06) indicated a primary role for UGT2B7 and lesser roles of UGT1A9 and UGT1A3 in hepatic FA glucuronidation. This was confirmed by a strong correlation of FA-G formation with UGT2B7 protein content and inhibition by fluconazole, a known UGT2B7 selective inhibitor. Additional studies are required to identify genetic factors contributing to the observed FA glucuronidation variability.

Abstract
The substrate spectrum of human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A (UGT1A) proteins includes the glucuronidation of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, anticonvulsants, chemotherapeutics, steroid hormones, bile acids, and bilirubin. The unique genetic organization of the human UGT1A gene locus, and an increasing number of functionally relevant genetic variants define tissue specificity as well as a broad range of interindividual variabilities of glucuronidation. Genetic UGT1A variability has been conserved throughout the protein's evolution and shows ethnic diversity. It is the biochemical and genetic basis for clinical phenotypes such as Gilbert's syndrome and Crigler-Najjar's disease as well as for the potential for severe, unwanted drug side effects such as in irinotecan treatment. UGT1A variants influence the metabolic effects of xenobiotic exposure and therefore have been linked to cancer risk. Detailed knowledge of the organization, function, and pharmacogenetics of the human UGT1A gene locus is likely to significantly contribute to the improvement of drug safety and efficacy as well as to the provision of steps toward the goal of individualized drug therapy and disease risk prediction.

Abstract
The anticancer prodrug, irinotecan, is converted to its active form 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38) by carboxylesterases, and SN-38 is inactivated by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT)1A1-mediated glucuronidation. UGT1A9 also mediates this reaction. In a recent study, it was reported that the UGT1A9 IVS1+399 (I399)C>T polymorphism is associated with increased SN-38 glucuronidation both in vitro and in vivo. However, its role in UGT1A9 expression levels and activity is controversial. Thus, we evaluated the role of I399C>T in SN-38 glucuronidation using 177 Japanese cancer patients administered irinotecan. I399C>T was detected at a 0.636 allele frequency. This polymorphism was in strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) with UGT1A9*1b (-126_-118T(9)>T(10), |D'| = 0.99) and UGT1A1*6 (211G>A, 0.86), in moderate LD with UGT1A1*60 (-3279T>G, 0.55), but weakly associated with UGT1A1*28 (-54_-39A(TA)(6)TAA>A(TA)(7)TAA, 0.25). Haplotype analysis showed that 98% of the I399C alleles were linked with low-activity haplotypes, either UGT1A1*6, *28, or *60. On the other hand, 85% of the T alleles were linked with the UGT1A1 wild-type haplotype *1. Although I399T-dependent increases in SN-38 glucuronide/SN-38 area under concentration-time curve (AUC) ratio (an in vivo marker for UGT1A activity) and decreases in SN-38 AUC/dose were apparent (P < 0.0001), these effects were no longer observed after stratified patients by UGT1A1*6, *28, or *60 haplotype. Thus, at least in Japanese populations, influence of I399C>T on SN-38 glucuronidation is attributable to its close association with either UGT1A1*6, *28, or *60.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The immunosuppressive agent mycophenolic acid (MPA) is metabolized by uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A9 (UGT1A9) to 7-O-glucuronide (MPAG) and excreted by multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 in the bile. By contrast, the production of the acyl MPAG, a minor MPA metabolite, was ascribed to UGT2B7 and UGT1A8. Several polymorphisms in the genes encoding for UGT1A9, UGT2B7 and MRP2 proteins have been described. However, their functional role in vivo on MPA metabolism remains poorly defined. METHODS A total of 40 Caucasian kidney transplant patients, given induction therapies (with Campath-(1)H or the combination basiliximab/rabbit antithymocyte globulin) and on maintenance immunosuppression with cyclosporine in combination with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) in a steroid-free regimen, were enrolled in the pharmacogenetic study. Patients had clinical and hematochemical evaluations at month 6 after transplantation, as well as complete MPA pharmacokinetic assessment. They were genotyped for SNPs in UGT1A9 C-2152T, T-1887G, C-665T, C-440T, T-331C, T-275A, T98C, for the nonsynonymous C802T SNP in UGT2B7, and for ABCC2 SNPs C-24T and G1249A. The association of these polymorphisms with MPA pharmacokinetic parameters was investigated. RESULTS Differences in the MPA pharmacokinetic profiles confirmed large interpatient variability of MPA exposure, with AUC(0-12) values ranging from 7.9 to 50.1 mg*h/ml. MPA AUC(0-12) was significantly associated with the presence of UGT1A9 -440/-331 genotypes (TT/CC: 61.5 +/- 2.7 mg*h/ml/g MMF; TC/CT: 45.4 +/- 14.0 mg*h/ml/g MMF; CC/TT: 40.8 +/- 10.8 mg*h/ml/g MMF; p = 0.005), whereas MPAG exposure was mainly influenced by renal function. The positive association between MPA AUC and SNPs in position -440/-331 found in kidney transplant patients confirmed previous in vitro findings showing that the abovementioned SNPs had a significant impact on UGT1A9 protein content in the liver. The presence of ABCC2 promoter C-24T and exon 10 G1249A SNPs did not cause any significant variation in MPA and MPAG pharmacokinetic parameters. CONCLUSION The study demonstrated a significant impact of C-440T/T-331C SNPs in the promoter region of the UGT1A9 gene on MPA pharmacokinetics in renal allograft recipients.
