Lansoprazole is extensively metabolized by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 in the liver, whereas rabeprazole is primarily converted non-enzymatically to rabeprazole-thioether, with only some being oxidized by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4. Lansoprazole and rabeprazole possess asymmetric sulfur in their chemical structure and have typically been used clinically as a racemic mixture. This article reviews the pharmacokin...

Tolbutamide is a sulfonylurea-type oral hypoglycemic agent whose action is terminated by hydroxylation of the tolylsulfonyl methyl moiety catalyzed by cytochrome P-450 (CYP) enzymes of the human CYP2C subfamily. Although most studies have implicated CYP2C9 as the exclusive catalyst of hepatic tolbutamide hydroxylation in humans, there is evidence that other CYP2C enzymes (e.g., CYP2C19) may als...

The impact of the CYP2C19*17 allele on the pharmacokinetics of pantoprazole and omeprazole in previously studied children (n 40) was explored. When pantoprazole area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) was examined as a function of CYP2C19 genotype, a significantly lower AUC was observed for subjects identified as CYP2C19*1/*1 and *1/*17. For pantoprazole, a statistically sig...

Background: Clopidogrel is a standout amongst the most ordinarily recommended medications to avoid ischemic occasions taking after coronary disorder or stant position. However, impaired responses the therapy as well as resistance to the therapy have also been reported. Genetic variants play an important role in clopidogrel biotransformation of its active metabolite that may subsequently influen...

CYP2C19 polymorphisms are important factors for proton pump inhibitor-based therapy. We examined the genotypes and analyzed distribution among ethnicities clinical outcomes in Indonesia. employed polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method to determine evaluated inflammation severity with updated Sydney system. For CYP2C19*2, 46.4% were homozygous wild-type allele,...

CYP2C19 is an important human drug-metabolizing enzyme that metabolizes a number of clinically used drugs including the antiulcer drug omeprazole, the anxiolytic drug diazepam, the beta-blocker propranolol, the antimalarial drug proguanil, certain antidepressants and barbiturates, and the prototype substrate S-mephenytoin. Previous studies show that compounds such as rifampicin and dexamethason...

Clopidogrel nonresponsiveness increases the recurrence of cardiovascular events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Previous studies found that genetic variants such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CYP2C19 and PON1 may influence clopidogrel response, cause high platelet reactivity (HPR) and increase cardiovascular events. However, these studies were inc...

The impact of pharmacogenetic variants of cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) on clopidogrel-mediated effects on platelet inhibition, inflammatory response and endothelial function, as well as risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), in coronary heart patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was investigated. To this end, we assessed the residual platelet aggregation r...

Inter-individual pharmacokinetic variation of H(2)-receptor antagonist is related to genetic polymorphism of CYP2C19. We investigated the frequency of CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism and the treatment duration of cimetidine by CYP2C19 genotypes in functional dyspeptic patients without definite causes who were treated with cimetidine in Korea. One hundred subjects with functional dyspepsia particip...

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are extensively metabolized in the liver by CYP2C19, that demonstrates genetic polymorphism with 21 mutant alleles. The subjects can be divided into 2 groups with respect to CYP2C19 phenotypes viz., extensive metabolizers (EMs) and poor metabolizers (PMs) of PPIs. This division results in marked interindividual variations in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic...
