Background: Recent studies investigating the single cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 allele *2A reported an association with the response to drug treatments. More genetic data can be obtained, however, by high-throughput based-technologies. Aim of this study is the high-throughput analysis of the CYP2D6 polymorphisms to evaluate its effectiveness in the identification of patient responders/non-responders to CYP2D6-metabolized drugs.

Methods: An attempt to compare our results with those previously obtained with the standard analysis of CYP2D6 allele *2A was also made. Sixty blood samples from patients treated with CYP2D6-metabolized drugs previously genotyped for the allele CYP2D6*2A, were analyzed for the CYP2D6 polymorphisms with the AutoGenomics INFINITI CYP4502D6-I assay on the AutoGenomics INFINITI analyzer.

Results: A higher frequency of mutated alleles in responder than in non-responder patients (75.38 % vs 43.48 %; p = 0.015) was observed. Thus, the presence of a mutated allele of CYP2D6 was associated with a response to CYP2D6-metabolized drugs (OR = 4.044 (1.348 - 12.154). No difference was observed in the distribution of allele *2A (p = 0.320).

Conclusions: The high-throughput genetic analysis of the CYP2D6 polymorphisms better discriminate responders/non-responders with respect to the standard analysis of the CYP2D6 allele *2A. A high-throughput genetic assay of the CYP2D6 may be useful to identify patients with different clinical responses to CYP2D6-metabolized drugs.

Background: Species differences in CYP2D6 drug metabolism complicate the extrapolation of in vivo pharmacokinetic data to humans and impact the prediction of drug responses. This study aimed to develop an in vivo model to predict human responses to CYP2D6 metabolized compounds and to evaluate medication risks and disease development.

Methods: We used embryonic stem cell (ES) targeting and CRISPR-Cas9 technology to create a humanized CYP2D6 mouse model by inserting the human wild-type CYP2D6 gene and knocking out the mouse Cyp2d locus.

Background And Objective: Esmethadone (dextromethadone; d-methadone; S-methadone (+)-methadone; REL-1017) is the opioid inactive dextro-isomer of racemic methadone. Esmethadone is a low potency N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor channel blocker with higher affinity for GluN2D subtypes. Esmethadone showed robust, rapid, and sustained antidepressant effects in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) with inadequate response to ongoing serotonergic antidepressant treatment.

Purpose: Poor metabolizers (PMs) of the highly polymorphic enzyme CYP2D6 are usually at high risk of adverse effects during standard recommended dosing of CYP2D6-metabolized drugs. We studied if the metabolism of solanidine, a dietary compound found in potatoes, could serve as a biomarker predicting the CYP2D6 PM phenotype for precision dosing.

Methods: The study included 839 CYP2D6-genotyped patients who were randomized by a 4:1 ratio into test or validation cohorts.

CYP2D6 pharmacogenetics and phenoconversion in personalized medicine.

Department of Pharmacotherapy and Translational Research and Center for Pharmacogenomics and Precision Medicine, University of Florida College of Pharmacy, Gainesville, FL, USA.

Introduction: CYP2D6 contributes to the metabolism of approximately 20-25% of drugs. However, is highly polymorphic and different alleles can lead to impacts ranging from null to increase in activity. Moreover, there are commonly used drugs that potently inhibit the CYP2D6, thus causing 'phenoconversion' which can convert the genotypic normal metabolizer into phenotypic poor metabolizer.

Frequencies of CYP2D6 genetic polymorphisms in Arab populations.

CYP2D6 is a key drug-metabolizing enzyme implicated in the biotransformation of approximately 25% of currently prescribed drugs. Interindividual and interethnic differences in CYP2D6 enzymatic activity, and hence variability in substrate drug efficacy and safety, are attributed to a highly polymorphic corresponding gene. This study aims at reviewing the frequencies of the most clinically relevant CYP2D6 alleles in the Arabs countries.
