Dexamethasone-Mediated Regulation of CYP3A4 and UGTs in Human Hepatoma HuH-7 Cells. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background The application of human hepatic cell lines to early drug discovery and development instead of human primary hepatocytes (HPHs) has been limited because of the low level of drug‐metabolizing enzymes (DMEs). Objective The study aimed to evaluate the effects of dexamethasone (DEX) treatment on DME expression, activities, and ...

Pharmacogenomics of Major Depressive Disorder in Indigenous Amazonian Populations. [PDF]
Major depressive disorder is a highly prevalent psychological disorder worldwide and its main treatment is the use of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors. However, few studies have demonstrated the relationship between the presence of genetic variants in pharmacogenes and the efficacy of these drugs, especially in populations with a unique genetic ...

Pharmacokinetics, pharmacogenetics, and toxicity of co-administered efavirenz and isoniazid [PDF]
Background: CYP2B6 slow metabolisers have higher efavirenz concentrations, which are further increased by isoniazid inhibiting efavirenz’s accessory metabolic pathway.

The Role of CYP2B6*6 Gene Polymorphisms in 3,5,6-Trichloro-2-pyridinol Levels as a Biomarker of Chlorpyrifos Toxicity Among Indonesian Farmers [PDF]
Objectives One of the most widely used pesticides today is chlorpyrifos (CPF). Cytochrome P450 (CYP)2B6, the most prominent catalyst in CPF bioactivation, is highly polymorphic.

CYP2B6 allelic variants and non-genetic factors influence CYP2B6 enzyme function
Human CYP2B6 enzyme although constitutes relatively low proportion (1–4%) of hepatic cytochrome P450 content, it is the major catalyst of metabolism of several clinically important drugs (efavirenz, cyclophosphamide, bupropion, methadone).

Allelic and genotype frequencies of major CYP2B6 polymorphisms in the Pakistani population
Background Cytochrome P450 (CYP2B6) is an important enzyme that metabolizes about 3.0% of therapeutic drugs. Drugs metabolized mainly by CYP2B6 include artemisinin, bupropion, cyclophosphamide, efavirenz, ketamine, and methadone.

Frequencies of CYP2B6∗4,∗5, and ∗6 Alleles within an Iranian Population (Mazandaran)
Background. The human CYP2B subfamily consists of one functional gene (CYP2B6) and one pseudogene (CYP2B7P). Cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) is a highly polymorphic enzyme that shows marked interindividual and interethnic variations.

Frequency of CYP2B6 Alleles in Major Iranian Ethnicities, Affecting Response to Efavirenz
Introduction. Efavirenz is an antihuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) drug metabolized by cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) enzyme. Cytochrome P450 2B6 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CYP2B6 gene. Polymorphisms of this gene play a crucial role in
