Mihara K, Kondo T, Suzuki A, Yasui-Furukori N, Ono S, Otani K, Kaneko S: Effects of genetic polymorphism of CYP1A2 inducibility on the steady-state plasma concentrations of trazodone and its active metabolite m-chlorophenylpiperazine in depressed Japanese patients. Pharmacol Toxicol. 2001 May;88(5):267-70.
The effects of a genetic polymorphism of inducibility of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2 on the steady-state plasma concentrations of trazodone and its active metabolite, m-chlorophenylpiperazine, were studied in order to clarify if these steady-state plasma concentrations are dependent on the CYP1A2 polymorphism. Fifty-eight Japanese depressed patients received trazodone 150 mg/day at bedtime. The steady-state plasma concentrations of trazodone and m-chlorophenylpiperazine were measured in duplicate using high performance liquid chromatographic method, and were corrected to the mean body weight for analyses. A point mutation from guanine (wild type) to adenine (mutated type) at position -2964 in the 5'-flanking region of CYP1A2 gene was identified by polymerase chain reaction fragment length polymorphism method. The mean steady-state plasma concentration of trazodone, but not m-chlorophenylpiperazine was significantly (P <0.05) lower in smokers than in non-smokers. Twenty-two smokers had 16 homozygotes of the wild type allele, 5 heterozygotes of the wild type and mutated alleles, and one homozygote of the mutated allele. There was no significant difference in the mean steady-state plasma concentration of trazodone or m-chlorophenylpiperazine between smokers with no mutation and those with mutation, although one homozygote of the mutated allele had the highest steady-state plasma concentration of trazodone in smokers. The present study thus suggests that CYP1A2 polymorphism does not necessarily have predictive value of the steady-state plasma concentration of trazodone or m-chlorophenylpiperazine in most of the smokers treated with trazodone. |
