Therapeutic Drug Monitoring in Children and Adolescents: Findings on Fluoxetine from the TDM-VIGIL Trial. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:2202. [PMID: 37765171 PMCID: PMC10534581 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15092202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 08/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/19/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Fluoxetine is the recommended first-line antidepressant in many therapeutic guidelines for children and adolescents. However, little is known about the relationships between drug dose and serum level as well as the therapeutic serum reference range in this age group. Within a large naturalistic observational prospective multicenter clinical trial ("TDM-VIGIL"), a transdiagnostic sample of children and adolescents (n = 138; mean age, 15; range, 7-18 years; 24.6% males) was treated with fluoxetine (10-40 mg/day). Analyses of both the last timepoint and all timepoints (n = 292 observations), utilizing (multiple) linear regressions, linear mixed-effect models, and cumulative link (mixed) models, were used to test the associations between dose, serum concentration, outcome, and potential predictors. The receiver operating curve and first to third interquartile methods, respectively, were used to examine concentration cutoff and reference values for responders. A strong positive relationship was found between dose and serum concentration of fluoxetine and its metabolite. Higher body weight was associated with lower serum concentrations, and female sex was associated with lower therapeutic response. The preliminary reference ranges for the active moiety (fluoxetine+norfluoxetine) were 208-328 ng/mL (transdiagnostically) and 201.5-306 ng/mL (depression). Most patients showed marked (45.6%) or minimal (43.5%) improvements and reported no adverse effects (64.9%). This study demonstrated a clear linear dose-serum level relationship for fluoxetine in youth, with the identified reference range being within that established for adults.

Abstract
Serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs; i.e., citalopram, escitalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, and sertraline), serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (i.e., desvenlafaxine, duloxetine, levomilnacipran, milnacipran, and venlafaxine), and serotonin modulators with SSRI-like properties (i.e., vilazodone and vortioxetine) are primary pharmacologic treatments for major depressive and anxiety disorders. Genetic variation in CYP2D6, CYP2C19, and CYP2B6 influences the metabolism of many of these antidepressants, which may potentially affect dosing, efficacy, and tolerability. In addition, the pharmacodynamic genes SLC6A4 (serotonin transporter) and HTR2A (serotonin-2A receptor) have been examined in relation to efficacy and side effect profiles of these drugs. This guideline updates and expands the 2015 Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) guideline for CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 genotypes and SSRI dosing and summarizes the impact of CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP2B6, SLC6A4, and HTR2A genotypes on antidepressant dosing, efficacy, and tolerability. We provide recommendations for using CYP2D6, CYP2C19, and CYP2B6 genotype results to help inform prescribing these antidepressants and describe the existing data for SLC6A4 and HTR2A, which do not support their clinical use in antidepressant prescribing.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION CYP2D6 contributes to the metabolism of approximately 20-25% of drugs. However, CYP2D6 is highly polymorphic and different alleles can lead to impacts ranging from null to increase in activity. Moreover, there are commonly used drugs that potently inhibit the CYP2D6, thus causing 'phenoconversion' which can convert the genotypic normal metabolizer into phenotypic poor metabolizer. Despite growing literature on the clinical implications of non-normal CYP2D6 genotype and phenoconversion on patient-related outcomes, implementation of CYP2D6 pharmacogenetics and phenoconversion to guide prescribing is rare. This review focuses on providing the clinical importance of CYP2D6 pharmacogenetics and phenoconversion in precision medicine and summarizes the challenges and approaches to implement these into clinical practice. AREAS COVERED A literature search was performed using PubMed and clinical studies documenting the effects of CYP2D6 genotypes and/or CYP2D6 inhibitors on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics or treatment outcomes of CYP2D6-metabolized drugs, and studies on implementation challenges and approaches. EXPERT OPINION Considering the extent and impact of genetic polymorphisms of CYP2D6, phenoconversion by the comedications, and contribution of CYP2D6 in drug metabolism, CYP2D6 pharmacogenetics is essential to ensure drug safety and efficacy. Utilization of proper guidelines incorporating both CYP2D6 pharmacogenetics and phenoconversion in clinical care assists in optimizing drug therapy.

Abstract
CYP2D6 genotype is increasingly being integrated into practice to guide prescribing of certain medications. The CYP2D6 drug metabolizing enzyme is susceptible to inhibition by concomitant drugs, which can lead to a clinical phenotype that is different from the genotype-based phenotype, a process referred to as phenoconversion. Phenoconversion is highly prevalent but not widely integrated into practice because of either limited experience on how to integrate or lack of knowledge that it has occurred. We built a calculator tool to help clinicians integrate a standardized method of assessing CYP2D6 phenoconversion into practice. During tool-building, we identified several clinical factors that need to be considered when implementing CYP2D6 phenoconversion into clinical practice. This tutorial shares the steps that the University of Florida Health Precision Medicine Program took to build the calculator tool and identified clinical factors to consider when implementing CYP2D6 phenoconversion in clinical practice.

Abstract
Sertraline is known to undergo changes in pharmacokinetics during pregnancy. CYP 2C19 has been implicated in the interindividual variation in clinical effect associated with sertraline activity. However, knowledge of suitable dose titrations during pregnancy and within CYP 2C19 phenotypes is lacking. A pharmacokinetic modeling virtual clinical trials approach was implemented to: (i) assess gestational changes in sertraline trough plasma concentrations for CYP 2C19 phenotypes, and (ii) identify appropriate dose titration strategies to stabilize sertraline levels within a defined therapeutic range throughout gestation. Sertraline trough plasma concentrations decreased throughout gestation, with maternal volume expansion and reduction in plasma albumin being identified as possible causative reasons. All CYP 2C19 phenotypes required a dose increase throughout gestation. For extensive metabolizer (EM) and ultrarapid metabolizer (UM) phenotypes, doses of 100-150 mg daily are required throughout gestation. For poor metabolizers (PM), 50 mg daily during trimester 1 followed by a dose of 100 mg daily in trimesters 2 and 3 are required.

Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13061219. [PMID: 33799547 PMCID: PMC7998388 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13061219] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2021] [Revised: 03/05/2021] [Accepted: 03/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Patients with breast cancer often receive many drugs to manage the cancer, side effects associated with cancer treatment, and co-morbidities (i.e., polypharmacy). Drug-drug and drug-gene interactions contribute to the risk of adverse events (AEs), which could lead to non-adherence and reduced efficacy. Here we investigated several well-characterized inherited (germline) pharmacogenetic (PGx) targets in 225 patients with breast cancer. All relevant clinical, pharmaceutical, and PGx diplotype data were aggregated into a single unifying informatics platform to enable an exploratory analysis of the cohort and to evaluate pharmacy ordering patterns. Of the drugs recorded, there were 38 for which high levels of evidence for clinical actionability with PGx was available from the US FDA and/or the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC). These data were associated with 10 pharmacogenes: DPYD, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A5, CYP4F2, G6PD, MT-RNR1, SLCO1B1, and VKORC1. All patients were taking at least one of the 38 drugs and had inherited at least one actionable PGx variant that would have informed prescribing decisions if this information had been available pre-emptively. The non-cancer drugs with PGx implications that were common (prescribed to at least one-third of patients) included anti-depressants, anti-infectives, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, opioids, and proton pump inhibitors. Based on these results, we conclude that pre-emptive PGx testing may benefit patients with breast cancer by informing drug and dose selection to maximize efficacy and minimize AEs.

Abstract
Many genetic variants in drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters have been shown to be relevant for treating psychiatric disorders. Associations are strong enough to feature on drug labels and for prescribing guidelines based on such data. A range of commercial tests are available; however, there is variability in included genetic variants, methodology, and interpretation. We herein provide relevant background for understanding clinical associations with specific variants, other factors that are relevant to consider when interpreting such data (such as age, gender, drug-drug interactions), and summarize the data relevant to clinical utility of pharmacogenetic testing in psychiatry and the available prescribing guidelines. We also highlight areas for future research focus in this field.

Abstract
1. The objective was to determine the ontogeny of stereoselective fluoxetine (FX) disposition in postnatal sheep from newborn to adulthood. 2. Catheters were implanted in a carotid artery and jugular vein. FX was administered intravenously, followed by serial arterial blood and cumulative urine collection. The concentrations of R,S-FX and R,S-norfluoxetine (R,S-NFX) in samples were measured using a validated enantioselective LC/MS/MS analytical method. 3. The metabolism of FX at 4.2 ± 0.4 days was limited compared to adults, but had developed compared to the fetus. Total body clearance (ClTB) did not significantly increase up to 33.6 ± 0.9 days, but significantly increased at 98.5 ± 2.0 days, with no further changes up to 397.3 ± 8.5 days. Up to 13.4 ± 0.8 days, the disposition of FX included Phase I metabolism to NFX and trifluoromethylphenol (TFMP), and renal elimination. At 32.9 ± 0.9 days, metabolism included Phase II conjugates of FX and NFX. Renal elimination of these compounds was low. 4. The elimination of FX increased in a non-linear manner during the first year in sheep. The metabolism and disposition of FX and NFX in plasma and urine were stereoselective and this appeared due to both stereoselective protein binding and metabolism.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are commonly involved in drug metabolism, and genetic variation in the genes encoding CYPs are associated with variable drug response. While genotype-guided therapy has been clinically implemented in adults, these associations are less well established for pediatric patients. In order to understand the frequency of pediatric exposures to drugs with known CYP interactions, we compiled all actionable drug-CYP interactions with a high level of evidence using Clinical Pharmacogenomic Implementation Consortium (CPIC) data and surveyed 10 years of electronic health records (EHR) data for the number of children exposed to CYP-associated drugs. Subsequently, we performed a focused literature review for drugs commonly used in pediatrics, defined as more than 5000 pediatric patients exposed in the decade-long EHR cohort. There were 48 drug-CYP interactions with a high level of evidence in the CPIC database. Of those, only 10 drugs were commonly used in children (ondansetron, oxycodone, codeine, omeprazole, lansoprazole, sertraline, amitriptyline, citalopram, escitalopram, and risperidone). For these drugs, reports of the drug-CYP interaction in cohorts including children were sparse. There are adequate data for implementation of genotype-guided therapy for children for three of the 10 commonly used drugs (codeine, omeprazole and lansoprazole). For the majority of commonly used drugs with known CYP interactions, more data are required to support pharmacogenomic implementation in children.

Abstract
Background: Lasofoxifene, a selective estrogen receptor modulator, may be coadministered with other drugs, raising the issue of drug–drug interactions. Objective: Using a 7-day, open-label, sequential study to determine whether lasofoxifene at steady-state concentration affects cytochrome P450–mediated drug metabolism. Methods: Lasofoxifene was tested in 18 postmenopausal women with probe drugs for CYP2E1 and CYP2D6. Changes in CYP2E1 metabolism were measured by the formation clearance of 6-hydroxychlorzoxazone (6-OHCLZ; Clf,6-OHCLZ) following a 250 mg dose of chlorzoxazone in the absence (day 1) and presence (day 6) of lasofoxifene. Changes in the dextromethorphan/dextrorphan urine metabolic ratio (MRDX) measured the effect on CYP2D6 metabolism following a 30 mg dose of dextromethorphan in the absence and presence of lasofoxifene (days 2 and 7). Results: Steady-state lasofoxifene did not affect the formation clearance of 6-OHCLZ or the urinary MRDX. For 6-OHCLZ, the lower boundary (87.12%) of the 90% confidence interval for the ratio (day 6/day 1) of Clf,6-OHCLZ was well above the clinically acceptable ratio of 60%. Both the individual and group mean Clf,6-OHCLZ values were comparable in the absence and presence of lasofoxifene. For MRDX, the upper boundary (129.37%) of the 90% confidence interval for the ratio (day 7/day 2) of MRDX was well below the stipulated ratio of 200%. The individual and mean MRDX values were comparable in the absence and presence of lasofoxifene. Lasofoxifene was well tolerated; adverse events were mild and transient. Conclusions: Lasofoxifene has no effect on CYP2E1- or CYP2D6-mediated drug metabolism and should not affect drugs metabolized by other cytochrome P450 isoenzymes.

Abstract
Antidepressants are commonly prescribed medications in the United States, and there is increasing interest in individualizing treatment selection for more than 20 US Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments for major depressive disorder. Providing greater precision to pharmacotherapeutic recommendations for individual patients beyond the large-scale clinical trials evidence base can potentially reduce adverse effect toxicity profiles and increase response rates and overall effectiveness. It is increasingly recognized that genetic variation may contribute to this differential risk to benefit ratio and thus provides a unique opportunity to develop pharmacogenetic guidelines for psychiatry. Key studies and concepts that review the rationale for cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) and cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) genetic testing can be delineated by serum levels, adverse events, and clinical outcome measures (eg, antidepressant response). In this article, we report the evidence that contributed to the implementation of pharmacokinetic pharmacogenetic guidelines for antidepressants primarily metabolized by CYP2D6 and CYP2C19.

Abstract
Background The liver-stage anti-malarial activity of primaquine and other 8-aminoquinoline molecules has been linked to bio-activation through CYP 2D6 metabolism. Factors such as CYP 2D6 poor metabolizer status and/or co-administration of drugs that inhibit/interact with CYP 2D6 could alter the pharmacological properties of primaquine. Methods In the present study, the inhibitory potential of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) classes of antidepressants for CYP 2D6-mediated primaquine metabolism was assessed using in vitro drug metabolism and in vivo pharmacological assays. Results The SSRI/SNRI classes of drug displayed a range of inhibitory activities on CYP 2D6-mediated metabolism of primaquine in vitro (IC50 1–94 μM). Fluoxetine and paroxetine were the most potent inhibitors (IC50 ~1 µM) of CYP 2D6-mediated primaquine metabolism, while desvenlafaxine was the least potent (IC50 ~94 µM). The most potent CYP 2D6 inhibitor, fluoxetine, was chosen to investigate the potential pharmacological consequences of co-administration with primaquine in vivo. The pharmacokinetics of a CYP 2D6-dependent primaquine metabolite were altered upon co-administration with fluoxetine. Additionally, in a mouse malaria model, co-administration of fluoxetine with primaquine reduced primaquine anti-malarial efficacy. Conclusions These results are the first from controlled pre-clinical experiments that indicate that primaquine pharmacological properties can be modulated upon co-incubation/administration with drugs that are known to interact with CYP 2D6. These results highlight the potential for CYP 2D6-mediated drug–drug interactions with primaquine and indicate that the SSRI/SNRI antidepressants could be used as probe molecules to address the primaquine-CYP 2D6 DDI link in clinical studies. Additionally, CYP 2D6-mediated drug–drug interactions can be considered when examining the possible causes of human primaquine therapy failures.

Abstract
Cancer patients frequently suffer from disease- and treatment-related pain, nausea and depression, which severely reduces patients' quality of life. It is critical that clinicians are aware of drug-gene interactions and recognize the utility of applying pharmacogenetic information to personalize and improve supportive care. Pharmacogenetic-based algorithms may enhance clinical outcomes by allowing the clinician to select the 'least genetically vulnerable' drug. This review summarizes clinically relevant drug-gene interactions and presents pharmacogenetic-driven treatment pathways for depression, nausea/vomiting and pain. Ideally, this review provides a resource for clinicians to consult when selecting pharmacotherapy for a patient who presents with limited pharmacogenetic test results, with the hope of better controlling burdensome symptoms and improving the quality of life for cancer patients.

Abstract
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are primary treatment options for major depressive and anxiety disorders. CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 polymorphisms can influence the metabolism of SSRIs, thereby affecting drug efficacy and safety. We summarize evidence from the published literature supporting these associations and provide dosing recommendations for fluvoxamine, paroxetine, citalopram, escitalopram, and sertraline based on CYP2D6 and/or CYP2C19 genotype (updates at www.pharmgkb.org).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this article is to review the field of clinically relevant pharmacogenetic effects of cytochrome P450 polymorphisms on metabolism, kinetics, and action of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). AREAS COVERED The relevant literature in humans on the implications of genetic variation on SSRI drug exposure, drug safety, and efficacy was systematically evaluated. There is a large amount of evidence on the influences of CYP polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetics of SSRIs. Regulatory agencies have issued warnings or advice considering dose adjustments in the presence of affected metabolic phenotypes for several SSRIs. Evidence-based dose adjustments for drugs dependent on CYP genotype are available to clinicians. However, few data on the relationship between genetically determined elevated plasma concentrations of SSRIs and specific side effects or therapeutic failure are currently available. EXPERT OPINION Genetic polymorphisms in CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 exert large influences on the individual exposure to SSRIs, leading to the aim to achieve similar concentration time courses in different metabolizer phenotypes. The implementation of a stratified approach to medication with SSRIs in different metabolic phenotypes on a rational basis will require new studies assessing the association between clinical outcomes (such as adverse reactions) and genetically determined elevated plasma concentrations.

Abstract
The cardinal climacteric symptoms of hot flushes and night sweats affect 24-93% of all women during the physiological transition from reproductive to post-reproductive life. Though efficacious, hormonal therapy and partial oestrogenic compounds are linked to a significant increase in breast cancer. Non-hormonal treatments are thus greatly appreciated. This systematic review of published hormonal and non-hormonal treatments for climacteric, and breast and prostate cancer-associated hot flushes, examines clinical efficacy and therapy-related cancer risk modulation. A PubMed search included literature up to June 19, 2014 without limits for initial dates or language, with the search terms, (hot flush* OR hot flash*) AND (clinical trial* OR clinical stud*) AND (randomi* OR observational) NOT review). Retrieved references identified further papers. The focus was on hot flushes; other symptoms (night sweats, irritability, etc.) were not specifically screened. Included were some 610 clinical studies where a measured effect of the intervention, intensity and severity were documented, and where patients received treatment of pharmaceutical quality. Only 147 of these references described studies with alternative non-hormonal treatments in post-menopausal women and in breast and prostate cancer survivors; these results are presented in Additional file 1. The most effective hot flush treatment is oestrogenic hormones, or a combination of oestrogen and progestins, though benefits are partially outweighed by a significantly increased risk for breast cancer development. This review illustrates that certain non-hormonal treatments, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, gabapentin/pregabalin, and Cimicifuga racemosa extracts, show a positive risk-benefit ratio. Key pointsSeveral non-hormonal alternatives to hormonal therapy have been established and registered for the treatment of vasomotor climacteric symptoms in peri- and post-menopausal women. There are indications that non-hormonal treatments are useful alternatives in patients with a history of breast and prostate cancer. However, confirmation by larger clinical trials is required.

Abstract
Phenoconversion is a phenomenon that converts genotypic extensive metabolizers (EMs) into phenotypic poor metabolizers (PMs) of drugs, thereby modifying their clinical response to that of genotypic PMs. Phenoconversion, usually resulting from nongenetic extrinsic factors, has a significant impact on the analysis and interpretation of genotype-focused clinical outcome association studies and personalizing therapy in routine clinical practice. The high phenotypic variability or genotype-phenotype mismatch, frequently observed due to phenoconversion within the genotypic EM population, means that the real number of phenotypic PM subjects may be greater than predicted from their genotype alone, because many genotypic EMs would be phenotypically PMs. If the phenoconverted population with genotype-phenotype mismatch, most extensively studied for CYP2D6, is as large as the evidence suggests, there is a real risk that genotype-focused association studies, typically correlating only the genotype with clinical outcomes, may miss clinically strong pharmacogenetic associations, thus compromising any potential for advancing the prospects of personalized medicine. This review focuses primarily on co-medication-induced phenoconversion and discusses potential approaches to rectify some of the current shortcomings. It advocates routine phenotyping of subjects in genotype-focused association studies and proposes a new nomenclature to categorize study populations. Even with strong and reliable data associating patients' genotypes with clinical outcome(s), there are problems clinically in applying this knowledge into routine pharmacotherapy because of potential genotype-phenotype mismatch. Drug-induced phenoconversion during routine clinical practice remains a major public health issue. Therefore, the principal challenges facing personalized medicine, which need to be addressed, include identification of the following factors: (i) drugs that are susceptible to phenoconversion; (ii) co-medications that can cause phenoconversion; and (iii) dosage amendments that need to be applied during and following phenoconversion.

Abstract
We developed a CYP2D6 genotyping method that required only one polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by a high-resolution melting curve analysis (HRM) and DNA sequencing. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples obtained from 100 normal individuals. From the HRM analysis using three fragments of amplicons (exons 1, 6, and 9), we successfully identified four common CYP2D6 gene polymorphisms (100C>T, 2850C>T, 2988G>A, and 4180G>C). Exons 3 and 7 were also screened by HRM analysis. The heteroduplexes, wild-type homoduplexes, and homoduplexes of compound mutations showed distinct melting plots. The other four exons (exons 2, 4, 5, and 8) were directly analyzed by DNA sequencing. In conclusion, we developed an HRM and DNA sequencing based method to assess the CYP2D6 gene directly without the need for nested PCR. This method is quick and cost-effective; it reduces the chance of PCR contamination and is suitable for clinical application.

Does pharmacogenomics account for variability in control of acute chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting with 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 receptor antagonists? Curr Oncol Rep 2013; 15:276-85.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting is one of the most concerning adverse drug effects from cytotoxic chemotherapy. Despite appropriate use of antiemetic guidelines, 20-30 % of patients experience breakthrough nausea and vomiting secondary to chemotherapy. To assess the variability of 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 receptor antagonist efficacy caused by genetic variation, a review of the available literature was conducted. From the literature, three sources of pharmacogenomic variability were identified: polymorphisms associated with 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 receptor subunits, drug metabolism via cytochromes P450, and drug transport in the body. Testing for receptor subunit polymorphisms is not applicable to a clinical setting at this time; however, cytochrome P450 2D6 testing is FDA-approved and widely accessible. Cytochrome P450 2D6 ultrarapid metabolizers and poor metabolizers displayed altered antiemetic efficacy when compared with intermediate metabolizers and extensive metabolizers. We postulate that testing for cytochrome P450 2D6 phenotypes may be the most accessible way to provide individualized antiemetic therapy in the future.

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

Abstract
The combination of atypical antipsychotics and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors is an effective strategy in the treatment of certain psychiatric disorders. However, pharmacokinetic interactions between the two classes of drugs remain to be explored. The present study was designed to determine whether there were different effects of steady-state fluvoxamine on the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of olanzapine and clozapine in healthy male volunteers. One single dose of 10 mg olanzapine (n = 12) or clozapine (n = 9) was administered orally. Following a drug washout of at least 4 weeks, all subjects received fluvoxamine (100 mg/day) for 9 days, and one single dose of 10 mg olanzapine or clozapine was added on day 4. Plasma concentrations of olanzapine, clozapine, and N-desmethylclozapine were assayed at serial time points after the antipsychotics were given alone and when added to fluvoxamine. No bioequivalence was found in olanzapine alone and cotreatment with fluvoxamine for the mean peak plasma concentration (C(max)), the area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to last sampling time point (AUC(0-t)), and from time 0 to infinity (AUC(0- infinity )). Under the cotreatment, C(max) of olanzapine was significantly elevated by 49%, with a 32% reduced time (t(max)) to C(max), whereas the C(max) and t(max) of clozapine were unaltered. The cotreatment increased the AUC(0-t) and AUC(0- infinity ) of olanzapine by 68% and 76%, respectively, greater than those of clozapine (40% and 41%). The presence of fluvoxamine also prolonged the elimination half-life (t(1/2)) of olanzapine by 40% and, to a much greater extent, clozapine by 370% but reduced the total body clearance (CL/F) of clozapine (78%) more significantly than it did for olanzapine (42%). The apparent volume of distribution (V(d)) was suppressed by 31% in olanzapine combined with fluvoxamine but was unaltered in the clozapine regimen. A significant reduction in the N-desmethylclozapine to clozapine ratio was present in the clozapine with fluvoxamine regimen. The effects of fluvoxamine on different aspects of pharmacokinetics of the two antipsychotics may have implications for clinical therapeutics.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions between midazolam and fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, nefazodone, and ketoconazole. Forty healthy subjects were randomized to receive one of the four study drugs for 12 days in a parallel study design: fluoxetine 60 mg per day for 5 days, followed by 20 mg per day for 7 days; fluvoxamine titrated to a daily dose of 200 mg; nefazodone titrated to a daily dose of 400 mg; or ketoconazole 200 mg per day. All 40 subjects received oral midazolam solution before and after the 12-day study drug regimen. Blood samples for determination of midazolam concentrations were drawn for 24 hours after each midazolam dose and used for the calculation of pharmacokinetic parameters. The effects of the study drugs on midazolam pharmacodynamics were assessed using the symbol digit modalities test (SDMT). The mean area under the curve (AUC) for midazolam was increased 771.9% by ketoconazole and 444.0% by nefazodone administration. However, there was no significant change in midazolam AUC as a result of fluoxetine (13.4% decrease) and a statistical trend for fluvoxamine (66.1% increase) administration. Pharmacodynamic data are consistent with pharmacokinetic data indicating that nefazodone and ketoconazole resulted in significant increases in midazolam-related cognition impairment. The significant impairment in subjects' cognitive function reflects the changes in midazolam clearance after treatment with ketoconazole and nefazodone. These results suggest that caution with the use of midazolam is warranted with potent CYP3A4 inhibitors.

Abstract
Case reports and pharmacologic theory suggest that some antidepressants can interfere with the hepatic metabolism of metoprolol by cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6), potentially increasing the risk of bradycardia. The objective of this study was to characterize the clinical consequences of this potential drug interaction at the population level. We conducted a population-based, nested case-control study of Ontario residents 66 years of age or older receiving metoprolol. Cases hospitalized for bradycardia were compared with matched controls (4:1) to explore the odds ratio for initiation of antidepressants that inhibit CYP2D6 (fluoxetine and paroxetine) and those that do not inhibit CYP2D6 (fluvoxamine, citalopram, venlafaxine, and sertraline) 30 days before hospitalization. From April 1997 to March 2009, we identified 332,254 older patients continuously receiving metoprolol, of whom 8232 (2.5%) were treated in hospital for bradycardia. The adjusted odds ratio for exposure to fluoxetine or paroxetine compared with other antidepressants 30 days prior to hospitalization for bradycardia was 0.76 (95% confidence interval 0.42-1.37). Among older patients receiving metoprolol, the initiation of antidepressants that inhibit CYP2D6 was not associated with a significant increase in the risk of bradycardia compared with antidepressants that do not inhibit CYP2D6.

Abstract
Berberine is a widely used plant extract for gastrointestinal infections, and is reported to have potential benefits in treatment for diabetes and hypercholesterolemia. It has been suggested that interactions between berberine-containing products and cytochromes P450 (CYPs) exist, but little is known about which CYPs mediate the metabolism of berberine in vivo. In this study, berberine metabolites in urine and feces of mice were analyzed, and the role that CYPs play in producing these metabolites were characterized in liver microsomes from mice (MLM) and humans (HLM), as well as recombinant human CYPs. Eleven berberine metabolites were identified in mice, including 5 unconjugated metabolites, mainly in feces, and 6 glucuronide and sulfate conjugates, predominantly in urine. Three novel berberine metabolites were observed. Three unconjugated metabolites of berberine were produced by MLM, HLM, and recombinant human CYPs. CYP2D6 was the primary recombinant human CYP producing these metabolites, followed by CYP1A2, 3A4, 2E1 and CYP2C19. The metabolism of berberine in MLM and HLM was decreased the most by a CYP2D inhibitor, and moderately by inhibitors of CYP1A and 3A. CYP2D plays a major role in berberine biotransformation, therefore, CYP2D6 pharmacogenetics and potential drug-drug interactions should be considered when berberine is used.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are the major enzymes responsible for Phase I reactions in the metabolism of several substances, including antidepressant medications. Thus, it has been hypothesized that variants in the CYP network may influence antidepressant efficacy and safety. Nonetheless, data on this field are still contradictory. The authors aim to give an overview of the published studies analyzing the influence of CYP highly polymorphic loci on antidepressant treatment in order to translate the acquired knowledge to a clinical level. AREAS COVERED The authors collected and compared experimental works and reviews published from the 1980s to the present and included in the Medline database. The included studies pertain to the effects of CYP gene polymorphisms on antidepressant pharmacokinetic parameters and clinical outcomes (response and drug-related adverse effects), with a focus on applications in clinical practice. The authors focused mainly on in vivo studies in humans (patients or healthy volunteers). EXPERT OPINION Great variability in antidepressant metabolism among individuals has been demonstrated. Thus, with the current interest in individualized medicine, several genetic tests to detect CYP variants have been produced. They provide a potentially useful way to anticipate some clinical outcomes of antidepressant treatment, although they will only be extensively used in clinical practice if precise and specific treatment options and guidelines based on genetic tests can be provided.

Abstract
The polymorphic P450 (CYP) enzyme superfamily is the most important system involved in the biotransformation of many endogenous and exogenous substances including drugs, toxins, and carcinogens. Genotyping for CYP polymorphisms provides important genetic information that help to understand the effects of xenobiotics on human body. For drug metabolism, the most important polymorphisms are those of the genes coding for CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4/5, which can result in therapeutic failure or severe adverse reactions. Genes coding for CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP1B1, and CYP2E1 are among the most responsible for the biotransformation of chemicals, especially for the metabolic activation of pre-carcinogens. There is evidence of association between gene polymorphism and cancer susceptibility. Pathways of carcinogen metabolism are complex, and are mediated by activities of multiple genes, while single genes have a limited impact on cancer risk. Multigenic approach in addition to environmental determinants in large sample studies is crucial for a reliable evaluation of any moderate gene effect. This article brings a review of current knowledge on the relations between the polymorphisms of some CYPs and drug activity/toxicity and cancer risk.

Abstract
Pharmacogenetics is the study of how interindividual variations in the DNA sequence of specific genes affect drug response. This article highlights current pharmacogenetic knowledge on important human drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450s (CYPs) to understand the large interindividual variability in drug clearance and responses in clinical practice. The human CYP superfamily contains 57 functional genes and 58 pseudogenes, with members of the 1, 2, and 3 families playing an important role in the metabolism of therapeutic drugs, other xenobiotics, and some endogenous compounds. Polymorphisms in the CYP family may have had the most impact on the fate of therapeutic drugs. CYP2D6, 2C19, and 2C9 polymorphisms account for the most frequent variations in phase I metabolism of drugs, since almost 80% of drugs in use today are metabolized by these enzymes. Approximately 5-14% of Caucasians, 0-5% Africans, and 0-1% of Asians lack CYP2D6 activity, and these individuals are known as poor metabolizers. CYP2C9 is another clinically significant enzyme that demonstrates multiple genetic variants with a potentially functional impact on the efficacy and adverse effects of drugs that are mainly eliminated by this enzyme. Studies into the CYP2C9 polymorphism have highlighted the importance of the CYP2C9*2 and *3 alleles. Extensive polymorphism also occurs in other CYP genes, such as CYP1A1, 2A6, 2A13, 2C8, 3A4, and 3A5. Since several of these CYPs (e.g., CYP1A1 and 1A2) play a role in the bioactivation of many procarcinogens, polymorphisms of these enzymes may contribute to the variable susceptibility to carcinogenesis. The distribution of the common variant alleles of CYP genes varies among different ethnic populations. Pharmacogenetics has the potential to achieve optimal quality use of medicines, and to improve the efficacy and safety of both prospective and currently available drugs. Further studies are warranted to explore the gene-dose, gene-concentration, and gene-response relationships for these important drug-metabolizing CYPs.

Abstract
The specific reaction toward a given drug varies a lot between individuals and, for many drugs, pharmacogenetic polymorphisms are known to affect biotransformation and clinical outcome. Estimation of the individual's drug-metabolizing capacity can be undertaken by genotyping drug-metabolizing enzymes involved in the respective drug metabolism. Consequences that arise from genotyping may be the adjustment of dose according to genotype, choice of therapeutic strategy, or even choice of drug. One of the first fields where the clinical application of pharmacogenetics may be used is in that of antipsychotic and antidepressant drug treatment because there is a special need for individualized therapy in psychiatry. The pharmacokinetics of many TCAs, some SSRIs and other antidepressant drugs is significantly altered by polymorphisms; however, some controversy still exists as to whether therapeutic efficacy may be improved and/or adverse events can be prevented by genetically driven adjustment of drug dosage. Pharmacogenetic diagnostics may be an important factor in individualizing drug treatment according to the genetic make-up of the patients. However, routine application of pharmacogenetic dose adjustment in clinical practice requires prospective validation.

Abstract
The efficacy of a drug therapy is influenced by many different factors, such as age, weight, comorbidity, and comedication, which vary among patients, as do the fixed parameters of sex and genotype. Enzymes involved in drug metabolism are genetically polymorphic, meaning that their activities differ depending on certain genotypes. Drugs are metabolized slowly in individuals carrying a genetic polymorphism that causes absent or decreased enzyme activity, and these individuals are at an increased risk for adverse drug reactions or therapeutic failure. However, drug therapy could be ineffective if the drug is metabolized too quickly because of a genetic polymorphism. Knowledge of these polymorphisms before beginning a drug therapy could help in choosing the right agent at a safe dosage, especially those with a narrow therapeutic index and a high risk for the development of adverse drug effects. Particularly, two polymorphic drug metabolizing enzymes, belonging to the cytochrome P450 (CYP) family, are responsible for the metabolism of many antidepressant drugs: CYP2D6 and CYP2C19. In addition to antidepressive drugs, several drugs used in cancer therapy, beta-blockers, proton pump inhibitors, and opioid analgesics are metabolized by these enzymes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP) is a principal mechanism for metabolism-based drug-drug interactions (DDIs). This article describes a robust, high-throughput CYP-mediated DDI assay using a cocktail of 5 clinically relevant probe substrates with quantification by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS-MS). METHODS The assay consisted of human liver microsomes and a cocktail of probe substrates metabolized by the five major CYP isoforms (tacrine for CYP1A2, diclofenac for CYP2C9, (S)-mephenytoin for CYP2C19, dextromethorphan for CYP2D6 and midazolam for CYP3A4). The assay was fully automated in both 96- and 384-well formats. RESULTS A series of experiments were conducted to define the optimal kinetic parameters and solvent concentrations, as well as, to assess potential reactant and product interference. The assay was validated against known CYP inhibitors (miconazole, sulfaphenazole, ticlopidine, quinidine, ketoconazole, itraconazole, fluoxetine) and evaluated in a screening environment by testing 9494 compounds. DISCUSSION Our findings show that this assay has application in early stage drug discovery to economically, reliably and accurately assess compounds for DDIs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Donepezil is licensed for the treatment of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD) at doses of 5-10 mg/day and has recently been approved in the US for severe AD. Multiple studies have suggested that donepezil 10 mg/day provides additional cognitive and functional benefits over the 5 mg/day dose. Higher doses of donepezil, if safe and well tolerated, might provide further benefits for patients with AD. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and tolerability of donepezil at doses of 15 and 20 mg/day. METHOD A 24-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, pilot study conducted at two investigational sites in the US. Enrolled patients (male and female; aged 50-86 years) had a diagnosis of probable AD at the mild-to-moderate stage (Mini-Mental State Examination [MMSE] score 10-26). All patients had been treated with donepezil 10 mg/day for 12-30 months prior to enrolment. Patients (n = 31) were randomized 1 : 1 to receive either a standard dose of donepezil (donepezil 10 mg/day plus placebo 5 mg/day for weeks 1-12; donepezil 10 mg/day plus placebo 10 mg/day for weeks 13-24) or a higher dose of donepezil (donepezil 15 mg/day for weeks 1-12; donepezil 20 mg/day for weeks 13-24). Primary outcome measures were tolerability (as determined by monitoring of discontinuations, dose modifications and adverse events) and safety (as determined by adverse event monitoring, physical examinations, clinical laboratory tests and ECGs). Psychometric measures (Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale [ADAS-cog], MMSE and Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change with caregiver information [CIBIC+]) and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic parameters were secondary outcomes. RESULTS No patients withdrew from the study and there were no serious adverse events or deaths. By week 24, 15 of 16 patients in the higher-dose group tolerated the maximum 20 mg/day dose; one patient had a permanent dose reduction to donepezil 15 mg/day. In the standard-dose group, 14 of 15 patients tolerated donepezil 10 mg/day plus placebo 10 mg/day by the end of the study; one patient had a permanent dose reduction to donepezil 10 mg/day plus placebo 5 mg/day. Temporary dose reductions occurred in two patients (one from each group). Adverse events reported were as expected for donepezil and were all mild to moderate in intensity. Adverse events considered to be possibly or probably related to treatment were reported for three patients in the standard-dose group and six patients in the higher-dose group. One patient in the higher-dose group had weight loss reported as possibly or probably treatment related. Mean changes on ECGs were not clinically significant in either group, and the incidence of bradycardia was comparable. No treatment difference on any of the psychometric measures was observed between the groups. Pharmacokinetic analyses showed that an increased donepezil dose was associated with an increase in donepezil plasma concentrations from baseline. CONCLUSION In this small pilot study of patients with mild-to-moderate AD already stabilized on donepezil 10 mg/day, doses of 15 and 20 mg/day of donepezil appeared safe and well tolerated. These results justify initiation of larger clinical trials designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of doses of donepezil higher than 10 mg/day in patients with AD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxycodone is a strong opioid that acts at mu- and kappa-opioid receptors. It has pharmacological actions similar to strong opioids, but with a specific pharmacologic profile and greater analgesic potency to morphine. The efficacy of oxycodone in managing neuropathic and somatic pain, both of malignant and non-malignant origin, has been established in a wide range of settings. SCOPE This review aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of oxycodone and its role within clinical settings in order to provide an evidence-based perspective on its use in the clinic. Literature searches using Medline, EMBASE and Cochrane Databases were used to compile data for review. The review provides information on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of oxycodone and also profiles established clinical data in neuropathic and somatic pain as well as emerging data to support the use of oxycodone in visceral pain, which may be due to its interaction with kappa-opioid receptors. Oxycodone is available in a range of formulations for oral, intraspinal and parenteral administration. FINDINGS The prolonged-release form of oxycodone offers a fast onset of analgesia, controlling pain for 12 hours and providing clinically meaningful relief of moderate to severe pain and improving quality of life across a broad spectrum of pain types. CONCLUSIONS Oxycodone provides significant pain relief. It has relevant points of difference from other opioids and as such may be a suitable alternative to morphine.

Abstract
For most drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs), the functional consequences of genetic polymorphisms have been examined. Variants leading to reduced or increased enzymatic activity as compared to the wild-type alleles have been identified. This review tries to define potential fields in the therapy of major medical conditions where genotyping (or phenotyping) of genetically polymorphic DMEs might be beneficial for drug safety or therapeutic outcome. The possible application of genotyping is discussed for depression, cardiovascular diseases and thromboembolic disorders, gastric ulcer, malignant diseases and tuberculosis. Some drugs used for relief of these ailments are metabolized with participation of genetically polymorphic DMEs including CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, thiopurine-S-methyltransferase, dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase, uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase and N-acetyltransferase type 2. Current evidence suggests that taking genetically determined metabolic capacities of DMEs into account has the potential to improve individual risk/benefit relationship. However, more prospective studies with clinical endpoints are needed before the paradigm of 'personalized medicine' based on DME variants can be established.

Abstract
Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) caused by direct chemical inhibition of key drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450 enzymes by a co-administered drug have been well documented and well understood. However, many other well-documented DDIs cannot be so readily explained. Recent investigations into drug and other xenobiotic-mediated expression changes of P450 genes have broadened our understanding of drug metabolism and DDI. In order to gain additional information on DDI, we have integrated existing information on drugs that are substrates, inhibitors, or inducers of important drug-metabolizing P450s with new data on drug-mediated expression changes of the same set of cytochrome P450s from a large-scale microarray gene expression database of drug-treated rat tissues. Existing information on substrates and inhibitors has been updated and reorganized into drug-cytochrome P450 matrices in order to facilitate comparative analysis of new information on inducers and suppressors. When examined at the gene expression level, a total of 119 currently marketed drugs from 265 examined were found to be cytochrome P450 inducers, and 83 were found to be suppressors. The value of this new information is illustrated with a more detailed examination of the DDI between PPARalpha agonists and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. This paper proposes that the well-documented, but poorly understood, increase in incidence of rhabdomyolysis when a PPARalpha agonist is co-administered with a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor is at least in part the result of PPARalpha-induced general suppression of drug metabolism enzymes in liver. The authors believe this type of information will provide insights to other poorly understood DDI questions and stimulate further laboratory and clinical investigations on xenobiotic-mediated induction and suppression of drug metabolism.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Paroxetine is believed to be a substrate of CYP2D6. However, no information was available indicating drug interaction between paroxetine and inhibitors of CYP2D6. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of terbinafine, a potent inhibitor of CYP2D6, on pharmacokinetics of paroxetine. METHODS Two 6-day courses of either a daily 150-mg of terbinafine or a placebo, with at least a 4-week washout period, were conducted. Twelve volunteers took a single oral 20-mg dose of paroxetine on day 6 of both courses. Plasma concentrations of paroxetine were monitored up to 48 h after dosing. RESULTS Compared with the placebo, terbinafine treatment significantly increased the peak plasma concentration (C(max)) of paroxetine, by 1.9-fold (6.4 +/- 2.4 versus 12.1 +/- 2.9 ng/ml, p < 0.001), and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from zero to 48 h [AUC (0-48)] of paroxetine by 2.5-fold (127 +/- 67 vs 318 +/- 102 ng/ml, p < 0.001). Elimination half-life differed significantly (15.3 +/- 2.4 vs 22.7 +/- 8.8 h, p < 0.05), although the magnitude of alteration (1.4-fold) was smaller than C(max )or AUC. CONCLUSION The present study demonstrated that the metabolism of paroxetine after a single oral dose was inhibited by terbinafine, suggesting that inhibition of CYP2D6 activity may lead to a change in the pharmacokinetics of paroxetine. However, further study is required to confirm this phenomenon at steady state.

Abstract
The application of pharmacogenetics holds great promise for individualized therapy. However, it has little clinical reality at present, despite many claims. The main problem is that the evidence base supporting genetic testing before therapy is weak. The pharmacology of the drugs subject to inherited variability in metabolism is often complex. Few have simple or single pathways of elimination. Some have active metabolites or enantiomers with different activities and pathways of elimination. Drug dosing is likely to be influenced only if the aggregate molar activity of all active moieties at the site of action is predictably affected by genotype or phenotype. Variation in drug concentration must be significant enough to provide "signal" over and above normal variation, and there must be a genuine concentration-effect relationship. The therapeutic index of the drug will also influence test utility. After considering all of these factors, the benefits of prospective testing need to be weighed against the costs and against other endpoints of effect. It is not surprising that few drugs satisfy these requirements. Drugs (and enzymes) for which there is a reasonable evidence base supporting genotyping or phenotyping include suxamethonium/mivacurium (butyrylcholinesterase), and azathioprine/6-mercaptopurine (thiopurine methyltransferase). Drugs for which there is a potential case for prospective testing include warfarin (CYP2C9), perhexiline (CYP2D6), and perhaps the proton pump inhibitors (CYP2C19). No other drugs have an evidence base that is sufficient to justify prospective testing at present, although some warrant further evaluation. In this review we summarize the current evidence base for pharmacogenetics in relation to drug-metabolizing enzymes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the potential for drug-drug interactions to influence drug metabolism between the attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) dl-methylphenidate and atomoxetine with dextromethorphan, a probe for interactions involving cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 isoenzyme. DESIGN In vitro and ex vivo analysis of changes in metabolism of study drugs. SETTING Laboratory. PATIENTS Not applicable. INTERVENTIONS Pooled human liver microsomal fractions prepared at CEDRA Corporation (now CellzDirect, Austin, Tex.) by the standard differential centrifugation method (lot 821-1). Human liver microsomes were pooled from 15 donors. Recombinant CYP 2D6-containing microsomes (Supersomes; lots 20 and 24 BD Gentest; Woburn, Mass.) were prepared from a baculovirus-infected insect cell line that expressed only the human CYP 2D6 isoform. Dextromethorphan, with and without effector, was incubated with pooled human liver and recombinant CYP 2D6-containing microsomes. Atomoxetine and dl-methylphenidate were tested at 0.1x, 1x, and 10x their reported therapeutic concentrations. Paroxetine, a known inhibitor of CYP 2D6, was used as a reference agent, and quinidine was used as a positive control inhibitor of CYP 2D6. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Changes in substrate metabolism indicative of CYP 2D6-mediated interactions. RESULTS Atomoxetine and paroxetine inhibited the formation of dextrorphan by about 50% in human liver microsomes and by more than 80% in recombinant microsomes; the profiles of atomoxetine and the known 2D6 inhibitor paroxetine were similar. High concentrations of dextromethorphan reversed the inhibition of its metabolism, indicating a competitive mechanism of the interaction. Conversely, dextromethorphan and dextrorphan only modestly inhibited atomoxetine and paroxetine metabolism. dl-Methylphenidate did not inhibit dextrorphan formation in either microsome preparation, and dl-methylphenidate metabolism was unaffected by dextromethorphan or dextrorphan. CONCLUSION These results demonstrate the potential for in vivo interactions between dextromethorphan and atomoxetine in patients with ADHD. However, they do not support the plausibility of an in vivo interaction between dextromethorphan and dl-methylphenidate.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) are found in municipal effluents and represent the major sources of contamination for the aquatic environment. A preliminary chemical analysis of wastewater identified several compounds associated with PPCPs, including caffeine, ibuprofen, naproxen, oxytetracycline, novobiocin, carbamazepine, gemfibrozil, bezafibrate, trimethoprim, sulfamethoxazole, and sulfapyridine. The purpose of this study was to examine the cytotoxic and oxidative effects of these products and other wastewater-related products (i.e., coprostanol, cotinine, estradiol-17beta, nonylphenol, and cholesterol) in primary cultures of rainbow trout hepatocytes. The redox activity of various PPCPs in trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) liver microsomes was investigated in vitro by tracking the rate of oxidation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and the formation of lipid peroxidation (LPO) after a 60-min incubation period. In addition, primary cultures of rainbow trout hepatocytes were exposed to various drugs identified in the municipal effluent for 48 h at 15 degrees C. Our results show that most PPCPs (83%) accelerated the rate of NADPH oxidation in the presence of microsomes and 72% of them increased LPO in microsomal membranes. LPO levels were significantly correlated (R = 0.5; P<0.05) with the number of functional groups on the molecule's backbone (i.e., number of O, S, N, P/number of C and H) and negatively so (R = -0.44; P<0.05) with the octanol/water partition coefficient, suggesting that nucleophilicity and hydrophobicity are related to oxidative activity for these compounds. Exposure of trout hepatocytes to these products leads in many cases to decreased cell viability, increased CYP3A-related monooxygenase activity (benzylether resorufin dealkylase), and LPO. No induction of CYP1A1-related activity (7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase) was observed. Moreover, municipal effluent extracts (ethanol) were able to increase all the above responses in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that the basic redox properties of PPCPs could influence oxidative metabolism in liver cells and lead to oxidative damage. These products have the potential to produce a toxic response in aquatic organisms and the above biomarkers were shown to respond readily to PPCPs in aquatic organisms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This retrospective analysis of electrocardiographic (ECG) data investigated the cardiovascular effects of paroxetine 10-50 mg/day in pediatric patients (7-18 years of age). Data were collected from three 8- to 10-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trials of paroxetine in pediatric patients with major depressive disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder. METHOD Electrocardiograms (ECGs) were retrospectively retrieved from 63 study sites in the United States and Canada. Only patients with at least one screening and one on-treatment ECG were included. ECGs were analyzed for heart rate, QT interval corrected using Bazett's formula (QTcB) and Fridericia's formula (QTcF), at screening and while being treated. PR, R-R, and QRS intervals and the maximum change in QTcB and QTcF from screening to endpoint were determined. Clinically significant thresholds were defined a priori. RESULTS A total of 1,451 ECGs from 449 patients receiving placebo (n = 207), paroxetine (n = 200), or imipramine (n = 42) were analyzed. Treatment with paroxetine did not significantly increase QTcB or QTcF or any ECG parameters compared with placebo. Treatment with imipramine significantly increased heart rate and QTcB, R-R, and QRS intervals compared with either paroxetine or placebo. CONCLUSIONS Data from this retrospective study indicate that paroxetine (10-50 mg/day) is unlikely to be associated with significant ECG changes in medically healthy pediatric patients.

Abstract
The role of the metabolism of the entactogen 3,4-(methylenedioxy)methamphetamine (MDMA; 1b) in neurotoxic or psychopharmacologic action is widely discussed, but not yet fully understood. To prompt further investigation into the role of MDMA metabolism, six new 3,4-(difluoromethylenedioxy) analogues of MDMA (1b) were prepared and characterized. Although electronically very different, the fluoro analogues 3-5 should be sterically very similar to the non-fluorinated parent compounds. The F-atoms may prevent the formation of toxic metabolites produced via a radical pathway (Scheme 1). Different theories regarding MDMA-induced neurotoxicity are briefly reviewed and discussed. The novel compounds 3-5 may help to verify the hypothesis that MDMA-induced neurotoxicity is the result of the formation of metabolites lacking the methylenedioxy bridge.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetics and effect of antidepressants are influenced by genetic factors. Modern methods of genotyping allow fast and inexpensive identification of genetic variants and thus can be used in clinical diagnostics to improve the tolerance to drug therapy. Numerous studies have investigated the significance of genetic variants in drug-metabolizing enzymes, drug and natural substrate transporters, neurotransmitter receptors, and molecules involved in signal transduction. While the interindividual differences in oral clearance, half-life, and bioavailability caused by genetic variants in the cytochrome P450 liver enzymes can be overcome by individual adjustment of dosage according to certain genotypes, the effects of genetic variants in antidepressive target structures are more difficult to translate into clinical recommendations. This article gives an overview of the currently available literature and points to situations in which the determination of pharmacogenetic variants might change drug therapy or therapeutic strategies for the individual patient. Dose adjustments for common antidepressant drugs based upon differences in pharmacokinetic parameters caused by genetic variability will be given.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To present a case of improvement of paroxetine-induced dry mouth by substitution of fluvoxamine and analyze this case based on receptor occupancy theory. CASE SUMMARY: A 66-year-old woman with major depressive disorder had been treated with brotizolam 0.5 mg/day, flunitrazepam 2 mg/day, sulpiride 100 mg/day, bromazepam 2 mg/day, trazodone 25 mg/day, and paroxetine hydrochloride 10 mg/day. Although her psychological symptoms improved gradually, she complained of dry mouth. Paroxetine was replaced with fluvoxamine maleate 50 mg/day, and the dryness disappeared within a month. DISCUSSION: We calculated the time courses of muscarinic acetylcholine (mACh) receptor occupancy after oral administration of paroxetine and fluvoxamine at the treatment doses by using pharmacokinetic parameters obtained from the literature. The mACh receptor occupancy was estimated to be decreased from 0.22% to 0.020% by replacing paroxetine with fluvoxamine. CONCLUSIONS: The improvement of dry mouth observed after the replacement of paroxetine with fluvoxamine in this patient may have been due to a decrease in the mACh receptor occupancy.

Abstract
In this study, the role of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) for the pharmacokinetics of dextromethorphan, a CYP2D6 substrate, and of melperone, a CYP2D6 inhibitor, was investigated. The substances were administered subcutaneously near the nape of the neck of wild-type mice and of abcb1ab (-/-) mice. One hour after injection, concentrations of the two drugs in cerebrum, plasma and in different organs were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. No significant differences between wild-type mice and abcb1ab (-/-) mice were observed for melperone, suggesting that P-gp is not involved in the uptake of melperone into the brain or other organs of mice. The concentration of dextromethorphan in the brain was more than twice as high in abcb1ab (-/-) mice compared to wild-type mice. Therefore, P-gp appears to be a factor in the uptake of dextromethorphan into the mouse brain, and abcb1-polymorphisms need to be considered for CYP2D6 phenotyping experiments with this drug. There is an overlap in substrate specificity between P-gp and CYP2D6. P-gp is a factor in the uptake of dextromethorphan, but not of melperone.

Abstract
Genetic factors contribute to the phenotype of drug response. We systematically analyzed all available pharmacogenetic data from Medline databases (1970-2003) on the impact that genetic polymorphisms have on positive and adverse reactions to antidepressants and antipsychotics. Additionally, dose adjustments that would compensate for genetically caused differences in blood concentrations were calculated. To study pharmacokinetic effects, data for 36 antidepressants were screened. We found that for 20 of those, data on polymorphic CYP2D6 or CYP2C19 were found and that in 14 drugs such genetic variation would require at least doubling of the dose in extensive metabolizers in comparison to poor metabolizers. Data for 38 antipsychotics were examined: for 13 of those CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 genotype was of relevance. To study the effects of genetic variability on pharmacodynamic pathways, we reviewed 80 clinical studies on polymorphisms in candidate genes, but those did not for the most part reveal significant associations between neurotransmitter receptor and transporter genotypes and therapy response or adverse drug reactions. In addition associations found in one study could not be replicated in other studies. For this reason, it is not yet possible to translate pharmacogenetic parameters fully into therapeutic recommendations. At present, antidepressant and antipsychotic drug responses can best be explained as the combinatorial outcome of complex systems that interact at multiple levels. In spite of these limitations, combinations of polymorphisms in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic pathways of relevance might contribute to identify genotypes associated with best and worst responders and they may also identify susceptibility to adverse drug reactions.
