Metoclopramide is metabolized by CYP2D6 and is a reversible inhibitor, but not inactivator, of CYP2D6 [PDF]
1. Metoclopramide is a widely used clinical drug in a variety of medical settings with rare acute dystonic events reported. The aim of this study was to assess a previous report of inactivation of CYP2D6 by metoclopramide, to determine the contribution of various CYPs to metoclopramide metabolism, and to identify the mono-oxygenated products of ...

Is CYP2D6 phenotype predictable from CYP2D6 genotype? [PDF]
Abstract Genetic polymorphism of cytochrome P450s results in clinically significant modifications in patients' drug metabolizing capacities. CYP2D6 has a crucial role in the elimination of several clinically important drugs (antiarrhythmics, beta-adrenergic blockers, psychopharmacons and analgesics); however, the prediction of the phenotypic ...

Assessment of Activity Levels for CYP2D6*1, CYP2D6*2, and CYP2D6*41 Genes by Population Pharmacokinetics of Dextromethorphan [PDF]
The pharmacokinetics of dextromethorphan (DM) is markedly influenced by cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) enzyme polymorphisms. The aim of this study was to quantify the effects of the CYP2D6*1, *2, and *41 variants on DM metabolism in vivo and to identify other sources of pharmacokinetic variability.

Tamoxifen and CYP2D6: A Controversy in Pharmacogenetics [PDF]
Tamoxifen reduces the rate of breast cancer recurrence by about one-half. It is converted to more active metabolites by enzymes encoded by polymorphic genes, including cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) and transported by ATP-binding cassette transporters. Genetic polymorphisms that confer reduced CYP2D6 activity or concurrent use of CYP2D6-inhibiting drugs ...

Rapid Detection of the CYP2D6*3, CYP2D6*4, and CYP2D6*6 Alleles by Tetra-Primer PCR and of the CYP2D6*5 Allele by Multiplex Long PCR [PDF]
Abstract Background: Interindividual differences in CYP2D6 activity range from total absence of metabolism of certain drugs to ultrafast metabolism and can produce adverse effects or lack of therapeutic effect under standard therapy. Several mutations have been described in the CYP2D6 gene that abolish CYP2D6 activity.

Enhanced Characterization of Drug Metabolism and the Influence of the Intestinal Microbiome: A Pharmacokinetic, Microbiome, and Untargeted Metabolomics Study. [PDF]
Determining factors that contribute to interindividual and intra-individual variability in pharmacokinetics (PKs) and drug metabolism is essential for the optimal use of drugs in humans.

CYP2D6 is one of the most polymorphic drug-metabolizing enzymes in the liver. While genetic CYP2D6 variants serve as clinical biomarkers to predict CYP2D6 activity, large inter-person variability in CYP2D6 expression remains unaccounted for.

Pharmacogenomic testing and its future in community pharmacy [PDF]
Although it is common to see pharmacogenomic testing used North America and Australia, it is not yet part of practice in the UK. With the promise of genomic screening becoming part of the NHS, pharmacists must equip themselves with a knowledge of how the
