Abstract
Background The mainstay of therapy for many neurodegenerative dementias still relies on acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEI); however, there is debate on various aspects of such treatment. A huge body of literature exists on possible predictors of response, but a comprehensive review is lacking. Therefore, our aim is to perform a systematic review of the predictors of response to AChEI in neurodegenerative dementias, providing a categorization and interpretation of the results. Methods We conducted a systematic review of the literature up to December 31st, 2021, searching five different databases and registers, including studies on rivastigmine, donepezil, and galantamine, with clearly defined criteria for the diagnosis of dementia and the response to AChEI therapy. Records were identified through the string: predict * AND respon * AND (acetylcholinesterase inhibitors OR donepezil OR rivastigmine OR galantamine). The results were presented narratively. Results We identified 1,994 records in five different databases; after exclusion of duplicates, title and abstract screening, and full-text retrieval, 122 studies were finally included. Discussion The studies show high heterogeneity in duration, response definition, drug dosage, and diagnostic criteria. Response to AChEI seems associated with correlates of cholinergic deficit (hallucinations, fluctuating cognition, substantia innominate atrophy) and preserved cholinergic neurons (faster alpha on REM sleep EEG, increased anterior frontal and parietal lobe perfusion after donepezil); white matter hyperintensities in the cholinergic pathways have shown inconsistent results. The K-variant of butyrylcholinesterase may correlate with better response in late stages of disease, while the role of polymorphisms in other genes involved in the cholinergic system is controversial. Factors related to drug availability may influence response; in particular, low serum albumin (for donepezil), CYP2D6 variants associated with reduced enzymatic activity and higher drug doses are the most consistent predictors, while AChEI concentration influence on clinical outcomes is debatable. Other predictors of response include faster disease progression, lower serum cholesterol, preserved medial temporal lobes, apathy, absence of concomitant diseases, and absence of antipsychotics. Short-term response may predict subsequent cognitive response, while higher education might correlate with short-term good response (months), and long-term poor response (years). Age, gender, baseline cognitive and functional levels, and APOE relationship with treatment outcome is controversial.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia and is considered one of the main causes of disability and dependence affecting quality of life in elderly people and their families. Current pharmacological treatment includes acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (donepezil, galantamine, rivastigmine) and memantine; however, only one-third of patients respond to treatment. Genetic factors have been shown to play a role in this inter-individual variability in drug response. DEVELOPMENT We review pharmacogenetic reports of AD-modifying drugs, the pharmacogenetic biomarkers included, and the phenotypes evaluated. We also discuss relevant methodological considerations for the design of pharmacogenetic studies into AD. A total of 33 pharmacogenetic reports were found; the majority of these focused on the variability in response to and metabolism of donepezil. Most of the patients included were from Caucasian populations, although some studies also include Korean, Indian, and Brazilian patients. CYP2D6 and APOE are the most frequently studied biomarkers. The associations proposed are controversial. CONCLUSIONS Potential pharmacogenetic biomarkers for AD have been identified; however, it is still necessary to conduct further research into other populations and to identify new biomarkers. This information could assist in predicting patient response to these drugs and contribute to better treatment decision-making in a context as complex as aging.

Abstract
The development of Alzheimer's disease therapeutics has been challenging, with 99% of clinical trials failing to find a significant difference between drug and placebo. While the quest continues for more effective treatments, there is emerging evidence that pharmacogenetic considerations are important factors in regard to metabolism, efficacy, and toxicity of drugs. Currently, there are five US Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease; three acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, memantine, and aducanumab. Introducing a limited genetic panel consisting of APOE4, CYP2D6*10, and BChE*K would optimize acetylcholinesterase inhibitor therapy, facilitate immunotherapy risk assessment, and inform an amyloid-related imaging abnormality surveillance schedule. In view of the genetic heterogeneity of Alzheimer's disease identified in genome-wide association studies, pharmacogenetics is expected to play an increasing role in mechanism-specific treatment strategies and personalized medicine.

Abstract
In an aging society, the number of people suffering from Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is still growing. Currently, intensive research is being carried out on the pathogenesis of AD. The results of these studies indicated that oxidative stress plays an important role in the onset and development of this disease. Moreover, in AD oxidative stress is generated by both genetic and biochemical factors as well as the functioning of the systems responsible for their formation and removal. The genetic factors associated with the regulation of the redox system include TOMM40, APOE, LPR, MAPT, APP, PSEN1 and PSEN2 genes. The most important biochemical parameters related to the formation of oxidative species in AD are p53, Homocysteine (Hcy) and a number of others. The formation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) is also related to the efficiency of the DNA repair system, the effectiveness of the apoptosis, autophagy and mitophagy processes as well as the antioxidant potential. However, these factors are responsible for the development of many disorders, often with similar clinical symptoms, especially in the early stages of the disease. The discovery of markers of the early diagnosis of AD may contribute to the introduction of pharmacotherapy and slow down the progression of this disease.

Abstract
Purpose Donepezil, a drug frequently used to treat dementia, is mainly metabolized by cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6). This study investigated the relationships between CYP2D6 genotype and activity scores as well as predicted phenotype of plasma donepezil concentrations in 86 Thai dementia participants. Materials and Methods CYP2D6 was genotyped using bead-chip technology (Luminex xTAG® v.3). Steady-state trough plasma donepezil concentrations were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography. Results Sixteen genotypes were found but the most frequent genotypes detected among our participants were CYP2D6*10/*10 (27.9%) and *1/*10 (26.7%). One-third of the participants had an activity score of 1.25 which predicted that they were normal metabolizers. The overall median (interquartile range) of plasma donepezil concentration was 51.20 (32.59–87.24) ng/mL. Normal metabolizers (NMs) had lower plasma donepezil concentrations compared to intermediate metabolizers (IMs) (41.15 (28.44–67.65) ng/mL vs 61.95 (35.25–97.00) ng/mL). Multivariate analysis showed that CYP2D6 activity score (r2 = 0.50) and the predicted phenotype (independent of dose) could predict the plasma donepezil concentration (r2 = 0.49). Conclusion Plasma donepezil concentration in NMs was lower compared to IMs. Additional studies with larger sample size and use of next-generation sequencing as well as its outcomes are warranted to confirm the benefit of using pharmacogenetic-guided treatment for donepezil.

Impact of CYP2D6, CYP3A5, and ABCB1 Polymorphisms on Plasma Concentrations of Donepezil and Its Metabolite in Patients With Alzheimer Disease. Ther Drug Monit 2020; 43:429-435. [PMID: 33065613 DOI: 10.1097/ftd.0000000000000823] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2020] [Accepted: 09/21/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Donepezil is one of the most commonly prescribed drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer disease. It is predominantly metabolized through CYP2D6 and to a lesser extent by CYP3A4/5. There are conflicting reports regarding the influence of CYP2D6, CYP3A5, and ABCB1 polymorphisms on the plasma concentration of donepezil. This study investigated the influence of these polymorphisms and sex on the plasma concentrations of donepezil and its active metabolite, 6-O-desmethyl donepezil (6ODD), in 47 patients with Alzheimer disease. METHODS Plasma donepezil and 6ODD concentrations were measured using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Sex, the concomitant use of psychotropics, and CYP2D6, CYP3A5, and ABCB1 polymorphisms were analyzed as possible influencers. RESULTS The mean plasma concentrations of donepezil and 6ODD were well correlated (R2 = 0.418). The mean plasma concentration ratio of donepezil to 6ODD (metabolic ratio) was significantly lower in intermediate metabolizers of CYP2D6 than in extensive metabolizers. The metabolic ratio in patients receiving psychotropics was significantly lower than in those not receiving psychotropics. Among intermediate metabolizers, patients positive for CYP3A5 *3/*3 showed a significant increase in plasma mean 6ODD concentrations when compared with those who did not express this gene (CYP3A5 *1/*1 or *1/*3). CONCLUSIONS Results indicate that the mean plasma concentration ratio of donepezil to 6ODD is associated with CYP2D6 polymorphism and the concomitant use of psychotropics in patients with Alzheimer disease. In intermediate metabolizers, CYP3A5 may play a significant role in the metabolism of donepezil.

Abstract
AIM We investigated the associations of the single-nucleotide polymorphism rs1080985 of cytochrome P4502D6 (CYP2D6) and the apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotypes with cognitive and functional changes in patients treated with donepezil. METHODS Sixty-five outpatients with Alzheimer's disease or mixed dementia being treated with donepezil were assessed at baseline and over 27 months. Changes in cognitive status, assessed with the Mini-Mental State Examination, and in functional status, assessed by the Activities of Daily Living Scale and the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale, were evaluated as a function of CYP2D6 and APOE genotypes by using linear mixed models. Multiplicative interactions between the CYP2D6 and APOE genotypes and time were investigated. RESULTS Individuals with the mutated CYP2D6 exhibited a slower decline in total Mini-Mental State Examination scores, orientation, registration, and functional status than those with the wild type. A significant interaction between CYP2D6, APOE, and time was found for changes in the Activities of Daily Living Scale; among the ε4 carriers, those with the mutated CYP2D6 exhibited a slower decline on the Activities of Daily Living Scale than those with the wild type. CONCLUSION The CYP2D6 and APOE genotypes may modulate the effectiveness of donepezil on cognitive and functional status.

Abstract
Background The efficacy of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChE-I) might depend on blood concentration. While rivastigmine metabolism is independent of the cytochrome P450 system, its isoenzymes, especially CYP2D6, metabolize donepezil. CYP2D6 polymorphisms can cause altered enzyme activity resulting in lower or higher than expected drug concentrations of donepezil. Objective We investigated correlations between clinical efficacy and serum concentrations of rivastigmine and donepezil under special consideration of CYP2D6 genotype or gene dose–dependent metabolism of donepezil. Methods Serum concentrations of donepezil and rivastigmine were measured by liquid chromatography – tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and allele-specific PCR were performed to assess CYP2D6 genotype and gene dose. Results Patients treated with rivastigmine (n=28) or donepezil (n=48) were included in the study. Both gene dose and metabolism type significantly predicted the level of donepezil serum concentration (p=0.019 and p=0.013, respectively). In the rivastigmine group, changes of the word list delayed recall subtest before treatment and under stable medication were significantly associated with rivastigmine serum levels (β=0.465; p=0.018). Drug serum concentrations were outside the recommended range in a substantial percentage of participants, which might have contributed to poor correlations between changes in cognitive measures and drug concentrations. Donepezil serum concentrations significantly depended on CYP2D6 gene dose. Conclusion Testing AChE-I serum concentration should be considered in patients without clinical response to treatment or those with severe side effects. Patients with donepezil drug levels outside the recommended range might additionally profit from CYP2D6 genotyping or treatment with an AChE-I independent of CYP metabolism.

Abstract
Donepezil (DNP) is the first-line drug used for Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the therapeutic response rate of patients to DNP varies from 20 to 60%. The main reason for the large differences in the clinical efficacy of DNP therapy is genetic factors, some of which affect pharmacokinetics (PK), while others affect pharmacodynamics (PD). Thus, much emphasis has been placed on the investigation of an association between PK- and PD-related gene polymorphisms and therapeutic response to DNP, but a consistent view does not yet exist. In this review, we summarize recent findings regarding genetic factors influencing the clinical efficacy of DNP, including substantial differences in individual responses as a consequence of polymorphisms in Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6, CY3A4, CY3A5, APOE, ABCA1, ABCB1, ESR1, BCHE, PON-1, CHRNA7, and CHAT. We also discuss possible strategies for the evaluation of the clinical efficacy of DNP, with a specific focus on possible biomarkers of PK/PD parameters, and provide perspectives and limitations within the field, which will also be beneficial for understanding the multiple mechanisms of DNP therapy in AD.

Background Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChE-I) are recommended for the treatment of cognitive symptoms but also of behavioral and psychological symptoms in dementia. They are widely used not only in Alzheimer's disease, but also in other forms of dementia. Efficacy of treatment might depend on serum concentration of the respective AChE-I. Objective In patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's dementia, we measured serum concentrations of hepatically metabolized donepezil and renally excreted rivastigmine and investigated possible modifiers. Additionally, we looked at correlations between serum concentrations and efficacy for both drugs. Methods Serum concentrations of donepezil and rivastigmine were measured by liquid chromatography – tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Allele specific PCR were performed to determine CYP2D6 genotype and gene dose. Clinical efficacy was assessed by changes of the subtest wordlist delayed recall of the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease-Neuropsychological Assessment Battery (CERAD-NAB). Results Sixty-seven patients treated with a stable dosage of donepezil 10 mg (n=41) or rivastigmine 9.5 mg (n=26) were included. Mean serum concentration of donepezil and rivastigmine were 41.2 and 6.5 ng/ml, respectively. Serum concentrations were below the recommended range in 73% of the subjects in the donepezil group and in 65% of the participants in the rivastigmine group. When applying a dose-related reference, ranges 63% of patients in the donepezil group and 32% in the rivastigmine group had concentrations below the expected range. Gene dose, sex, and duration of treatment significantly predicted donepezil serum concentration (p=0.046, p=0.001, p=0.030 respectively). Only for rivastigmine did the serum concentration significantly contribute to the regression model predicting changes on the subtest word list delayed recall (β=0.472; p=0.019). Conclusions Serum concentrations of about two thirds of the patients were below the recommended range. When not looking at absolute values but at the dose-related reference ranges, these numbers improved but still 32%, respectively 63% of patients had low serum concentrations. High serum concentrations of rivastigmine predicted clinical response to cognition. Therapeutic drug monitoring might help to identify the cause of poor clinical response to cognition and behavioral and psychological symptoms in patients with AChE-I treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to evaluate the influence of genetic polymorphisms of CYP2D6, CYP3A5, ABCB1, and APOE genes and nongenetic factors on steady-state plasma concentrations (Cpss) of donepezil and therapeutic outcomes in Thai patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VAD). PATIENTS AND METHODS Eighty-five dementia patients who received donepezil for at least six months were recruited. CYP2D6, CYP3A5, ABCB1, and APOE polymorphisms were genotyped. Cpss of donepezil was measured. Association of genetic and non-genetic factors with Cpss and clinical outcomes of donepezil (cognitive function as measured by the Thai Mental State Examination score; TMSE) were determined by using univariate and multivariate analysis. RESULTS Both univariate and multiple linear regression analysis indicated that only CYP2D6*10 allele was associated with higher Cpss (p-value =0.029 and B =0.478, p-value =0.032, respectively) that might influence the clinical outcomes of donepezil. ie, TMSE (p-value =0.010 and B =4.527, p-value =0.001) and ΔTMSE (p-value =0.023 and B =4.107, p-value =0.002), especially in patients with AD. Interestingly, concomitant use of memantine was found to be associated with increased Cpss of donepezil (p-value =0.007 and B =0.511, p-value =0.014). Whereas, co-medication with antidepressant drugs attenuated clinical responses in patients with AD (TMSE: B =-2.719, p-value =0.013 and ΔTMSE: B =-2.348, p-value =0.028). Age was a significant predictor of donepezil response in VAD patients. No significant association of CYP3A5*3, ABCB1 3435C>T or ABCB1 1236C>T, and APOE ε4 genotypes with Cpss or clinical outcomes of donepezil was found in this study. CONCLUSION Our results suggests that CYP2D6*10 strongly influences Cpss and there is a trend toward better outcomes of donepezil in patients with AD. Nongenetic factors including concomitant drugs treatment might alter Cpss of donepezil or clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Genetic variations in individuals may cause differences in the response to cholinesterase inhibitor drugs used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Through this review, we aimed to understand the potential relationship between genetic polymorphisms and treatment response in AD. We conducted a systematic review of the studies published from 2006 to 2018 that assessed the relationship between genetic polymorphisms and the pharmacotherapeutic outcomes of patients with AD. Via several possible mechanisms, genetic polymorphisms of many genes, including ABCA1, ApoE3, CYP2D6, CHAT, CHRNA7, and ESR1, appear to have strong correlations with the treatment response of patients with AD. Indeed, these genetic polymorphisms, either in the form of single nucleotide polymorphisms or direct changes to one or more amino acids, have been shown to cause differences in the therapeutic response. In summary, our findings indicate that genetic polymorphisms should be considered in the management of AD to achieve both effective and efficient treatment outcomes in terms of cost and prognosis.

Abstract
Treatment of dementia is an urgent problem of modern neurology. Currently, four drugs are recommended to treat dementia, two of which (donepezil and galantamine) are metabolized with participation of the CYP2D6 enzyme. Genetic heterogeneity of CYP2D6 is associated with different enzyme activity, which affects the concentration of its substrates in blood and, accordingly, the clinical effect and the risk of side-effects of drugs. AIM To genotype the single nucleotide polymorphism 1846G>A in the CYP2D6 gene and evaluate its effect on the efficacy and safety of donepezyl in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-one patients with AD were genotyped for the CYP2D6 1846G>A polymorphism, which corresponds to the most common in Caucasians allele CYP2D6*4. An effect of this polymorphism on the efficacy and safety of donepezyl was assessed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION There was no association between the CYP2D6 genotype and the efficacy of antidementia therapy (OR=0,44, 95% CI -3.0-1,38; p=0,46).

Abstract
Dyslipidaemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by high plasma triglyceride concentrations, reduced high‑density lipoprotein concentrations and increased small density low‑density lipoprotein concentrations. Dyslipidaemia may lead to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and other complications. Apolipoproteins mainly comprise six species, apolipoprotein (apo)A, apoB, apoC, apoD, apoE and apoM, which are important components of plasma lipoproteins that carry lipids and stabilize the structure of lipoproteins. Complex metabolic disorders of apolipoproteins are present in T2DM, such as high plasma apoB, apoC‑II, apoC‑III and apoE concentrations, and low plasma apoA‑I and apoM concentrations, which are associated with dyslipidaemia and interrelated complications. Plasma concentrations of some apolipoproteins are also altered in T2DM with CVD or other complications. Several apolipoprotein polymorphisms are associated with diabetes susceptibility and/or lipid metabolism. The present review described the metabolic disorders of apolipoproteins in T2DM and its complications, and the relationship between each major apolipoprotein and T2DM, as well as the effects of apolipoprotein polymorphisms on diabetic susceptibility.
