—Phenytoin is an antiepileptic drug (AED) metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes, especially by CYP2C9 (90%) and CYP2C19 (10%), where both enzymes are polymorphic so that they can undergo polymorphism and it can change the metabolic rate of the drug ...

Objective:The CYP2C19*1 has an entirely normal activity allele whose clopidogrel metabolism is normal. CYP2C19*2 called as non-functional alleles. In this study, we aimed to establish the CYP2C19*1 and CYP2C19*2 genotype frequencies both in Turkish ...

Influence of pharmacokinetics-related gene polymorphisms on plasma levels of clozapine and its metabolites in Japanese patients with schizophrenia. [PDF]
Abstract Aim Clozapine is an atypical antipsychotic drug that is most effective against treatment‐resistant schizophrenia and causes serious adverse effects, including agranulocytosis. We examined the relationships between age, sex, genetic polymorphisms, and the plasma concentrations of clozapine and its metabolites (N‐desmethylclozapine and clozapine

Evaluation of changes in cytochrome P450 2C19 activity in type 2 diabetic rats before and after treatment, by using isolated perfused liver model [PDF]
Objective(s): Alteration in drug metabolism is very likely in diabetes mellitus. This study assessed changes in CYP2C19 enzymatic activity in the liver using omeprazole as a probe in the animal model of type II diabetes (T2DM) before and after treatment ...

The frequencies of CYP2C19*2, *3, and *17 alleles and their impact on the clinical efficacy of doubled maintenance dose of clopidogrel in Syrian patients with coronary artery disease. [PDF]
Background Genetic variations in the CYP2C19 gene, which encodes the major enzyme responsible for activating clopidogrel, may influence response to Clopidogrel antiplatelet therapy.

Clinical application of high throughput molecular screening techniques for pharmacogenomics. [PDF]
Genetic analysis is one of the fastest-growing areas of clinical diagnostics. Fortunately, as our knowledge of clinically relevant genetic variants rapidly expands, so does our ability to detect these variants in patient samples.
