Pharmacogenomics of human P450 oxidoreductase

Detection of NAD(P)H: Quinone Oxidoreductase 609C T Polymorphism in Blood and Archival Human Tissues Using a Simple PCR Method

Polymorphic metabolism by functional alterations of human cytochrome P450 enzymes.

The study of cytochrome P450 pharmacogenomics is of particular interest because of its promise in the development of rational means to optimize drug therapy with respect to patient's genotype to ensure maximum efficacy with minimal adverse effects. Drug metabolizing P450 enzymes are polymorphic and are the main phase I enzymes responsible for the metabolism of clinical drugs. Therefore, polymor...

Evaluation of the effects of cytochrome P450 nonsynonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms on tanshinol borneol ester metabolism and inhibition potential.

Nonsynonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) in cytochrome P450 (P450) genes may affect drug metabolism and drug-drug interactions (DDIs), potentially leading to adverse drug reactions. Functional characterization of the nsSNPs in P450 genes is important to help us understand the impact of genetic factors on P450-mediated drug metabolism and DDIs. To evaluate the effects of P450 nsSNP...

Pharmacogenetics of Cytochrome P450 2D6: A Translational Medicine Perspective

With rapid scientific advances in the postgenomic era, pharmacogenomics has developed into an important area of translational medicine research. Pharmacogenetics studies the variability in drug response between different patient genotypes. By using patient genomic information, this bench-to-bedside research approach aims to develop more effective targeting of drug therapy in clinical practice. ...

Pathway-Targeted Pharmacogenomics of CYP1A2 in Human Liver

The human drug metabolizing cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2, is one of the major P450 isoforms contributing by about 5-20% to the hepatic P450 pool and catalyzing oxidative biotransformation of up to 10% of clinically relevant drugs including clozapine and caffeine. CYP1A2 activity is interindividually highly variable and although twin studies have suggested a high heritability, underlying genetic fa...
