Pharmacogenomics of human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases and irinotecan toxicity.
The human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) represent a superfamily of proteins (Mackenzie et al., 1997) that are attracting much interest because of their extensive polymorphic patterns of gene and tissue specific expression (Mackenzie et al., 2000; Tukey and Strassburg, 2000). Because glucuronidation comprises a significant pathway for drug detoxification and elimination, polymorphic patter...
متن کاملPharmacogenomics of statins: understanding susceptibility to adverse effects
Statins are a cornerstone of the pharmacologic treatment and prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Atherosclerotic disease is a predominant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Statins are among the most commonly prescribed classes of medications, and their prescribing indications and target patient populations have been significantly expanded in the official guidelines r...
متن کاملIndividual susceptibility to toxicity.
Individual variation in susceptibility to chemical toxicity may be due to differences in toxicokinetic patterns or effect modification. Well-documented interspecies genetic differences in susceptibility to chemicals had lead to studies of such variation also within species. Epidemiological evidence now suggests that common variations, particularly in the P-450 enzymes, may play a major role in ...
متن کاملSusceptibility to lead toxicity.
Adverse effects of lead on human health have been recognized for centuries. Nevertheless , current public health measures require a greater understanding of the pathobiology of chronic low level exposure (1-3). Such considerations are related to the question of what level of lead intake is harmful and why specific clinical manifestations of lead poisoning are encountered under particular circum...
متن کامل[Toxicity of triazavirin, a novel Russian antiinfluenza chemotherapeutic].
The study of the toxicity of triazavirin, a new antiinfluenza agent, showed that the maximum concentration of the drug, inducing no microscopically visible changes in the structure of the monolayer and the cells of the MDCK and SKEV cell cultures, was 128 and 100 mcg/ml respectively. The maximum drug dose for single intraperitoneal administration inducing no signs of acute intoxication in albin...
