Background/aims: Since cytochrome P450IA2 is involved in the metabolism of procarcinogens and carcinogens, there is debate about whether induction of this enzyme system by pharmaceuticals leads to a higher risk of malignancy. We investigated rifampin as a potent inducer of the hepatic mixed function oxygenase system and its effect on caffeine metabolism which can be taken as an in vivo marker of cytochrome P450IA2 activity.
Methods: Caffeine clearance was measured in ten healthy volunteers before and after a 7-day treatment with 600 mg rifampin.

Omeprazole has been reported to increase cytochrome P450IA2 (CYP1A2) activity in vitro, but whether this effect also occurs in vivo is controversial. To clarify this issue, the effect of omeprazole (20 mg/day for 8 days) on the kinetics and metabolism of phenacetin, an in vivo marker of CYP1A2 activity, was examined in 10 healthy volunteers. The pharmacokinetic parameters of phenacetin and metabolically derived paracetamol on the 8th day of omeprazole administration were very similar to those observed in a control session in the absence of omeprazole administration, the only significant difference being a higher peak plasma phenacetin concentration during omeprazole treatment.

Omeprazole has been shown to induce cytochrome P450IA1 and P450IA2 activity in vitro. To reflect cytochrome P450IA2 (CYP1A2) activity in vivo, the 13C-[N-3-methyl]-caffeine breath test was conducted in 18 volunteers: 12 extensive metabolizers, one intermediate metabolizer, and five poor metabolizers of S-mephenytoin. Breath tests were performed before treatment with an oral dose of 40 mg omeprazole, on the seventh day of treatment, and after a 7-day washout period.
