We have recently isolated a cloned cDNA coding for a cytochrome P-450 of human liver microsomal membranes, which corresponds to a major phenobarbital-inducible cytochrome P-450 of rat liver. This human cytochrome P-450 is encoded by a member of a multigene family. DNA extracted from a panel of 12 independent human-rodent somatic cell hybrids was analysed by Southern blot hybridization with the cloned cDNA. The results indicate that all components of this cytochrome P-450 gene family are located on chromosome 19. Evidence from hybrids derived from an individual carrying a balanced translocation suggests a regional localization of 19p13.2----qter. Analysis of human metaphase chromosomes by in situ hybridization localizes this cytochrome P-450 gene family further to the long arm of chromosome 19 in the region q13.1----qter. We propose the designation P450PB for this locus.

Background: Polyunsaturated fatty acids are metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP450) into anti-inflammatory, pro-resolving epoxides, which are rapidly converted to inactive and cytotoxic diols by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). Increased CYP450-sEH metabolites are associated with worse cognition in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and greater white matter hyperintensities (WMH) in patients with stroke. We examined whether the relationship between linoleic acid (LA)-derived CYP450-sEH metabolites (oxylipins) and small vessel disease (SVD) markers differ across diabetes status.

Background: Aging and the decline in sex steroid hormone (e.g., estrogen) are associated with a potential loss of its neuroprotective effects on the female brain.

We investigated the impact of CYP2C9 polymorphism on the reduction of Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI-12) scores following administration of IGC-AD1, comprising THC and melatonin, in AD patients.
Method: Thirteen Puerto Rican AD patients (mean age: 80.
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects millions of Americans, with potential future increases without breakthroughs in treatment. IGC-AD1, a novel formulation comprising of delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol ("THC") and melatonin, is being studied in AD-associated agitation. THC is predominantly metabolized by cytochrome P450 and specifically by CYP2C9.

Background: 20-hydroxyeicosatetranoic acid (20-HETE) is a potent vasoconstrictor synthesized by the CYP4F2 enzyme. The CYP4F2 missense variant rs3093105 A>C (W12G) has been implicated in hypertension and stroke, risk factors for Alzheimer's disease (AD), and with decreased 20-HETE activity. To explore the potential role of the CYP4F2/20-HETE pathway and AD, this study investigated associations between the rs3093105 variant and AD phenotypes.
