Debrisoquine hydroxylation polymorphism is by far the most thoroughly studied genetic polymorphism of the CYP2D6 drug-metabolizing enzyme. Debrisoquine hydroxylation phenotype has been the most used test in humans to evaluate CYP2D6 activity. Two debrisoquine hydroxylation phenotypes have been described: poor and extensive metabolizers. A group with a very low debrisoquine metabolic ratio within the extensive metabolizers, named ultrarapid metabolizers, has also been distinguished. This CYP2D6 variability can be for a large part alternatively determined by genotyping, which appears to be of clinical importance given CYP2D6 involvement in the metabolism of a large number of commonly prescribed drugs. CYP2D6 pharmacogenetics may then become a useful tool to predict drug-related side effects, interactions or therapeutic failures. However, a number of reasons appear to have made research into this field lag behind. The present review focuses on the relevance of genetics and environmental factors for determining debrisoquine hydroxylation phenotype, as well as the relevance of CYP2D6 genetic polymorphism in psychiatric patients treated with antipsychotic drugs.

Background And Purpose: The metabolic activity of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 is highly variable and CYP2D6 genotypes insufficiently explain the extensive and intermediate metabolic phenotypes, limiting the prediction of drug response plus adverse drug reactions. Since CYP2D6 prototypic substrates are positively charged, the aim of this study was to evaluate the organic cation transporters (OCTs) and multidrug and toxin extrusion proteins (MATEs) as potential contributors to the variability of CYP2D6 hydroxylation of debrisoquine, dextromethorphan, diphenhydramine, perhexiline and sparteine.
Experimental Approach: OCT1/SLC22A1-, OCT2/SLC22A2-, OCT3/SLC22A3-, MATE1/SLC47A1-, and MATE2K/SLC47A2-overexpressing cell lines were used to investigate the transport of the selected drugs.

Background: Cytochrome P450 2U1 (CYP2U1) has been identified from the human genome and is highly conserved in the living kingdom. In humans, it has been found to be predominantly expressed in the thymus and in the brain. CYP2U1 is considered as an "orphan" enzyme as few data are available on its physiological function(s) and active site topology.

The cytochrome P450-dependent mono-oxygenase system is responsible for the metabolism and disposition of chemopreventive agents, chemical toxins and carcinogens, and >80% of therapeutic drugs. Cytochrome P450 (P450) activity is regulated transcriptionally and by the rate of electron transfer from P450 reductase. In vitro studies have demonstrated that cytochrome b5 (Cyb5) also modulates P450 function.

Background & Aim: The CYP2D6 -1584C>G polymorphism (rs1080985) has been identified as a major factor for CYP2D6 expression and function, with the mutant -1584G promoter type being consistently associated with significantly greater expression than -1584C. It may therefore be associated with ultrarapid metabolism. The objective of the present study was to explore the relationship between the CYP2D6 -1584C>G polymorphism and the debrisoquine metabolic ratio in healthy volunteers in order to evaluate its potential impact on the ultrarapid CYP2D6 hydroxylation capacity.

The CYP2D family members are instrumental in the metabolism of 20-25% of commonly prescribed drugs. Although many CYP2D isoforms have been well characterized in other animal models, research concerning the chicken CYP2Ds is limited. In this study, a cDNA encoding a novel CYP2D enzyme (CYP2D49) was cloned from the chicken liver for the first time.
