Gossypol Exhibits a Strong Influence Towards UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1, 1A9 and 2B7-Mediated Metabolism of Xenobiotics and Endogenous Substances

Molecules, 2012
Gossypol, the polyphenolic constituent isolated from cottonseeds, has been used as a male antifertility drug for a long time, and has been demonstrated to exhibit excellent anti-tumor activity towards multiple cancer types.

Pharmacogenomics of dolutegravir: A scoping review of evidence, gaps and clinical implications

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Dolutegravir underpins modern first‐ and second‐line HIV treatment regimens; however, interindividual variability in its disposition and tolerability presents challenges for optimal use. This scoping review mapped current evidence on the pharmacogenomics of dolutegravir, focusing on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and methodological limitations ...

Effect of UDP‐glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 activity on risk for developing Gilbert's syndrome

Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2019
Variations at the six nucleotides −3279 (T > G), −53 (A[TA]6TAA > A[TA]7TAA), 211 (G > A), 686 (C > A), 1091 (C > T), and 1456 (T > G) in the UDP‐glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) gene were determined in 178 Taiwanese patients with Gilbert's syndrome ...

Age-dependent Hepatic UDP-glucuronosyltransferase Gene Expression and Activity in Children

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2016
UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are important phase II drug metabolism enzymes. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between age and changes in mRNA expression and activity of major human hepatic UGTs, as well as to understand the ...

Pharmacometric evaluation of pre‐referral rectal artesunate in children with severe malaria

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Parenteral artesunate is the preferred first‐line treatment for severe malaria. Pre‐referral rectal artesunate suppositories are recommended where parenteral treatment is inaccessible. In this study, we compared dihydroartemisinin exposure and model‐predicted early parasite clearance following rectal artesunate and intravenous artesunate in ...

Revisiting the Latency of Uridine Diphosphate-Glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs)—How Does the Endoplasmic Reticulum Membrane Influence Their Function?

Pharmaceutics, 2017
Uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are phase 2 conjugation enzymes mainly located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of the liver and many other tissues, and can be recovered in artificial ER membrane preparations (microsomes).

A pharmacogenetics study of the human glucuronosyltransferase UGT1A4 [PDF]

Pharmacogenetics and Genomics, 2009
UGT1A4 is primarily expressed in the liver and exhibits catalytic activities for various drugs. Amongst the few UGT1A4 polymorphisms evaluated, studies support the alteration of UGT1A4-mediated glucuronidation by a few variations including the Pro²⁴Thr and Leu⁴⁸Val variants (referred to as UGT1A4*2 and *3).We therefore investigated genetic mechanisms ...

Clinical relevance of pharmacogenomic information for improving prescribing practices in acutely admitted older medical patients

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Safe prescribing and effective medication review during acute hospitalization depends on accurate information about liver and kidney function because these organs are responsible for the elimination of most medications. While estimates for kidney function are widely used, comparable markers of hepatic drug‐metabolizing capacity are not routinely ...

Rapid onset and offset of the interaction between rifampicin and long‐acting cabotegravir/rilpivirine: A pharmacokinetic case report

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Long‐acting intramuscular cabotegravir/rilpivirine (LA CAB/RPV) is contraindicated with rifampicin because of the risk of markedly reduced antiretroviral exposure, although clinical pharmacokinetic data for this interaction are lacking. We describe a 49‐year‐old man with virologically suppressed HIV‐1 infection receiving LA CAB/RPV every 8 weeks who ...
