AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates how different CYP2C19 genetic types affect the metabolism and effectiveness of the medication rabeprazole in healthy Chinese males after a single dose.
  • Researchers analyzed plasma concentration and pH data to create a model showing that genetic variations influence the drug's clearance rates, with poor metabolizers (PM) showing the lowest clearance.
  • Findings suggest that while the standard dose of rabeprazole may work for poor metabolizers, those with other genotypes might require more frequent dosing to effectively treat conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Article Abstract

Aims: To explore the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship of rabeprazole and the role of CYP2C19 genotypes after a single oral dose in healthy Chinese volunteers by a population approach.

Methods: Plasma concentration time profile data and intragastric pH values of 19 genotyped healthy male adults after a single oral dose of rabeprazole in an open label randomized fashion were used for this population analysis. Simulation technology was performed to examine the rabeprazole response in subjects with different CYP2C19 genotypes to further investigate the effect of acid inhibition.

Results: The pharmacokinetics of rabeprazole was characterized by a two-compartment model with first order absorption and with an absorption lag-time. The results show that clearance of rabeprazole was affected by CYP2C19 genotypes (average clearances of homEM, hetEM, and PM were 13.9, 11.5, and 8.74 L·h(-1) respectively). An effect compartment with a sigmoidal Emax model was considered more rational for analyzing the relationship between rabeprazole concentrations and intragastric pH values. Simulated results suggest that rabeprazole 20 mg once daily for PMs is sufficient, but might be administered more frequently for other genotypes in treating gastro-esophageal reflux disease.

Conclusion: The CYP2C19 genotype played a considerable role in the pharmacokinetic characteristics of rabeprazole, and this might need to be taken into account for clinical use.

Aims: Clopidogrel exhibits substantial variability in therapeutic response, largely contributed by genetic factors. The pharmacogenomic variants data on clopidogrel metabolism in South Asians have been sparsely studied. This study explores the impact of and gene variants on clopidogrel metabolism in Sri Lankans, revealing significant pharmacogenomic insights with broader implications for South Asians.

Purpose: To evaluate the drug-drug interactions (DDI) of tunodafil (youkenafil), a novel phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor, its inhibitory effects on CYP450 enzymes in vitro and its clinical trials in combination with ritonavir or omeprazole were conducted.

Methods: The inhibitory effect of tunodafil on seven major CYP450 enzymes in human liver microsomes was investigated by probe substrate method. The effect of tunodafil on the pharmacokinetics of omeprazole (CYP2C19 substrate) in 40 healthy subjects, who received a single dose of 40 mg omeprazole in combination with tunodafil on the day 8 after taking 100 mg tunodafil daily for 7 days, was assessed based on CYP2C19 genotypes.

Background And Purpose: Symptomatic internal carotid artery stenosis (sCAS) is an essential cause of transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke. We aimed to evaluate whether the superiority of aspirin-ticagrelor over aspirin-clopidogrel varies between patients with sCAS or not.

Methods: This was a post-hoc analysis of the High-Risk Patients with Acute Nondisabling Cerebrovascular Events-II (CHANCE-2) trial, all of which were loss-of-function alleles carriers.

Article Synopsis
  • Gliclazide is a medication for type 2 diabetes, primarily metabolized by genetic variations in the CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 enzymes.
  • A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was developed to analyze how these genetic differences affect gliclazide's effects in patients.
  • The model accurately predicted drug concentration levels in the bloodstream, meeting standard evaluation criteria and potentially paving the way for personalized treatment plans based on genetic profiles.
