J Chromatogr A. 2008 Dec 26;1215(1-2):107-15. Epub 2008 Nov 7.

CYP-specific metabolites of melatonin (CYP1A2), nicotine (CYP2A6), bupropion (CYP2B6), repaglinide (CYP2C8), losartan (CYP2C9), omeprazole (CYP2C19 and CYP3A4), dextromethorphan (CYP2D6), chlorzoxazone (CYP2E1) and midazolam (CYP3A4) were all analyzed using the same LC/MS/MS method with a single analytical run, either after a one-at-a-time dose or cocktail-type dosing of the parent drugs.

The objective was twofold: (1) to determine the role of genetic, physiological, and environmental factors in predicting hepatic CYP2B6 protein expression; and (2) to investigate the role of CYP2B6 in nicotine C-oxidation.

Recently, it has been shown that genetic variants in the dopaminergic system, opioid receptors, the bupropion-metabolising enzyme CYP2B6 and the nicotine-metabolising enzyme CYP2A6 may play an important role in predicting smoking cessation responses to nicotine replacement therapy and bupropion treatment.

Inherited variation in the CYP2B6 enzyme is also associated with response to bupropion treatment and counseling alone for smoking cessation.
