Influence of CYP2D6 Phenotypes on the Pharmacokinetics of Aripiprazole and Dehydro-Aripiprazole Using a Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Approach.

Background And Objectives: Aripiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic drug that is metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 and CYP3A4, which mainly form its active metabolite dehydro-aripiprazole. Because of the genetic polymorphism of CYP2D6, plasma concentrations are highly variable between different phenotypes. In this study, phenotype-related physiologically based pharmacokinetic models were developed and evaluated to suggest phenotype-guided dose adjustments.

Evaluation of Voriconazole CYP2C19 Phenotype-Guided Dose Adjustments by Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling.

Background And Objectives: Controversy exists regarding dose adjustment in patients treated with voriconazole due to the severity of the infections for which it is prescribed. The Dutch Pharmacogenetics Working Group (DPWG) recommends a 50% dose increase or decrease for cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 ultrarapid (UM) or poor (PM) metabolizers, respectively. In contrast, for the previous phenotypes, the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) voriconazole guideline only recommends a change of treatment.

Modelling Age-Related Changes in the Pharmacokinetics of Risperidone and 9-Hydroxyrisperidone in Different CYP2D6 Phenotypes Using a Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Approach.

Purpose: Dose-optimization strategies for risperidone are gaining in importance, especially in the elderly. Based on the genetic polymorphism of cytochrome P 450 (CYP) 2D6 genetically and age-related changes cause differences in the pharmacokinetics of risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone. The goal of the study was to develop physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models for the elderly aged 65+ years.

Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modelling to Describe the Pharmacokinetics of Risperidone and 9-Hydroxyrisperidone According to Cytochrome P450 2D6 Phenotypes.

Background And Objectives: The genetic polymorphism of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 is characterized by an excessive impact on positive and adverse drug reactions to antipsychotics, such as risperidone. Consequently, the pharmacokinetics of the drug and metabolite can be substantially altered and exhibit a high variability between the different phenotypes. The goal of this study was to develop a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model considering the CYP2D6 genetic polymorphism for risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone (9-OH-RIS) taking CYP3A4 into account.
